Chapter 668: Can’t Wait
"Lin Fan, Void Fusion Realm Third Layer."
Chen Huaian observed the young cultivator standing before him with a peculiar look. The man’s eyes were bound by strips of cloth.
The name itself felt heavy with an air of absolute arrogance!
Yet, paradoxically, it also radiated a profound sense of reliability.
"Yes, Ancestor, what are your orders?" Lin Fan asked, inclining his head slightly while clutching his sword case.
Despite the fabric covering his eyes, his perception of his surroundings remained entirely undisturbed.
Chen Huaian found himself staring blankly at the character profile for Lin Fan.
[Name: Lin Fan Age: 2731 years]
[Strength: Void Fusion Realm Third Layer]
[Introduction: Possesses a violent temperament. Utilizes a self-created sword technique derived from the True Martial Sun Sword - Explosive Sword Style]
A violent temperament?
It was impossible to tell from his appearance!
This individual, who had lived for over two millennia, looked like nothing more than a sophisticated young man.
His mostly dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail, save for a single streak of silver-white hair resting against his forehead.
If he walked among the public, he would undoubtedly be hailed as a handsome scholar.
Furthermore, his manner of speaking was incredibly mild, showing no hints of a short fuse.
Chen Huaian clicked his tongue in thought.
Following his previous summoning of Gu Changsheng, he had realized that these character summaries weren't always perfectly accurate.
The Electronic Girlfriend game had labeled Gu Changsheng as emotionally stable, yet the reality had been anything but calm.
It seemed Lin Fan followed a similar pattern of deception.
"Lin Fan, why do you keep your eyes wrapped in cloth?" Chen Huaian asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
For a cultivator at the Void Fusion Realm, blindness was a trivial matter that could be healed naturally without the need for pills. To be blunt, those at the Void Fusion Realm were as resilient as immortal cockroaches; as long as the divine soul remained intact, they could survive as a mere severed head flying through the clouds.
"To answer the Ancestor," Lin Fan replied calmly, cupping his hands in respect, "it is not a choice made out of vanity. It is because this junior’s eyes possess the power to kill. If I do not keep them covered, I fear I would inadvertently strike down my fellow Sect members."
They can kill?
That’s incredibly formidable!
Chen Huaian’s interest deepened.
"There are no other disciples here. Why don't you remove the strips and let this venerable one see?"
Lin Fan paused for a moment. However, considering the Ancestor possessed a Great Ascension Stage Cultivation, he slowly reached up and began to unwind the cloth from his face.
Buzz—!
The instant the fabric fell away, a piercing sword cry resonated throughout the silent chamber.
Chen Huaian’s own eyes widened.
It wasn't that the room had brightened, but rather that Lin Fan’s eyes were reflecting a terrifying light.
His gaze overflowed with razor-sharp sword intent. This surging power was so concentrated it manifested as a physical silver glow, extending three inches beyond his pupils.
Crack—!
The door behind Chen Huaian suddenly splintered, shredded to bits by the raw sword intent leaking from those eyes.
"Holy electric eyes, that is seriously impressive..."
Chen Huaian had been torn between which Void Fusion Realm expert to deploy today.
He had at least three other options alongside Lin Fan. But his hesitation vanished instantly—even if Lin Fan wasn't the absolute strongest among them, the sheer style of having sword intent in his eyes made him the clear choice for today.
"Young man, you understand what this venerable one requires of you, don't you?"
"I have some idea," Lin Fan nodded. "The Ancestor occasionally selects one or two people from the Sect to assist in a different realm. This junior is aware that Gu Changsheng, who departed previously, has yet to return.
Word is he stayed in that world to handle matters for the Ancestor...
He is a fortunate man, being able to leave the Cangyun Realm to witness the wonders of another great world."
"So, are you saying you are eager for your own turn in that world?"
"Naturally."
"Excellent. Let us depart!" Chen Huaian reached out, gripping Lin Fan’s shoulder while simultaneously triggering the Sect Summoning Token.
Violent ripples of spatial Qi surged through the cave dwelling. In a flash, both figures vanished.
Only then did several heavy sighs echo from the shadows outside.
"Darn, why did the Ancestor pick that walking disaster Lin Fan?"
"With Lin Fan’s personality, if he causes trouble for the Ancestor, there will be hell to pay..."
"That Lin Fan brat is a master of disguise! He usually acts so cold and distant, yet he’s like a loyal puppy in front of the Ancestor. What a brown-noser!"
"That is a chance to visit another world—you’d be acting the same way if it were you."
"Ahem!" Su Qinian stepped toward the group of Void Fusion Realm Elders and gave a dry cough. "That’s enough, esteemed Elders. The Ancestor has already taken Elder Lin. There is no point in loitering here. Simply wait for the next chance... The Ancestor frequently encounters major conflicts; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future~"
Hearing this, the various Void Fusion Realm Elders could only sigh and go their separate ways.
"Just to visit Earth Star, they’re all behaving like concubines waiting for the Emperor to pick their name plate."
Su Qinian shook his head with the air of a weary senior, his hands tucked behind his back. "Where is the dignity and poise that a Void Fusion Realm cultivator is supposed to have?"
Once the other Elders were out of sight, Su Qinian quietly slipped into the cave where Lin Fan usually lived.
He didn't disturb any of the belongings. Instead, he simply left a small note on the table.
It contained a single line of tiny script:
—[I am Supreme Elder Su Qinian. Make sure I get the next opportunity, or I’ll make your life very difficult, hehehe!]
...
Meanwhile.
On Earth Star.
Inside a cave situated one kilometer from the basin where the Celestial Jade Marrow was manifesting.
The forms of Chen Huaian and Lin Fan materialized.
"The spiritual energy here... it isn't quite as barren as I expected..."
Lin Fan took a deep breath the moment they arrived, offering a serious critique.
"That is because three Wells of Heaven have been unsealed. If you had come earlier... you would have felt like you were suffocating with every breath!"
"Ancestor, what exactly are these Wells of Heaven?" Lin Fan’s voice took on a tone of excitement and zeal that Chen Huaian found slightly jarring. "It seems the more Wells of Heaven are opened, the richer the Qi becomes. If this benefits the Ancestor, then this junior will go and open every single one of them right now, hehehe..."
Mid-laugh, Lin Fan caught himself and quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.
Unfortunately, that manic, strange cackle had already escaped.
There was no taking it back.
Chen Huaian was momentarily speechless.
It seemed the game’s assessment of Lin Fan’s temperament was spot on after all.
Still, Lin Fan’s idea wasn't bad.
Currently, whenever he tried to open a Well of Heaven, he had to contend with the Fierce Beasts guarding the lower levels.
With his current Cultivation level, he was no match for those creatures.
When the time came to negotiate with the Fierce Beasts—and if they refused to listen to reason—he could simply send in muscle like Lin Fan.
"We can discuss the Wells of Heaven later." Chen Huaian pointed toward the purple glow on the horizon. "Can you feel the presence of the treasure?"
"I can," Lin Fan confirmed with a nod.
"Your task today is to seize the high-grade Celestial Jade Marrow from the avatar of a Demon Immortal. Its strength is roughly at the Void Shattering Peak."
Chen Huaian had assumed a cultivator of Lin Fan’s status might find highway robbery beneath him.
However...
"Understood, Ancestor! This junior loves a good robbery!" Lin Fan’s face lit up with pure thrill. He clenched his fists, and sparks of sword energy began to leak from beneath his eye covers. "May I ask exactly how much the Ancestor wishes to steal?"
Chen Huaian fell silent for a beat.
Then he replied: "Take everything there is... but perhaps leave a small portion for one other group.
You’ll recognize them when you get there. Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng are with them; you should be able to pick up their auras."
"Understood, Ancestor." Lin Fan rubbed his palms together in anticipation. "This junior truly cannot wait any longer! Hehe!"
