Chapter 276: What's Buried There… Are Their Ancestors!
"I haven't yet."
Xiao Fan shook his head.
"Hm?"
Jiang Taixuan frowned, puzzled.
"If the Immortal doesn't intervene, just the two of us alone won't be able to deal with the many experts of the Spirit Clan."
"What do you plan to do next?"
"The Spirit Clan may be powerful, but they are not unbeatable. Rather than being hunted endlessly… I intend to go to the Spirit Clan myself!"
Xiao Fan spoke in a low voice. His words carried an overwhelming confidence—as well as pressure.
There were some matters he had to face personally, problems he had to settle with his own hands.
And the Spirit Clan… was a hurdle he could never avoid.
"You want to go to the Spirit Clan?"
Jiang Taixuan's expression changed dramatically, filled with shock.
"The Spirit Clan is an ancient great clan with endless foundations! They have Saints sitting in town. You're only at the Divine Power Realm—how can you possibly go there?"
"Right now, the Spirit Clan experts—140-plus of them—are searching for you everywhere. If you go to them yourself, isn't that just seeking death?"
"Don't worry."
Xiao Fan waved his hand calmly.
"I have my own methods."
These past few years, he had not stayed in one place. He roamed the world, and along the way, he had numerous encounters—including obtaining the inheritance of an ancient Lu Wu.
There were many treasures within it.
Some of them were more than enough to keep him alive.
"I think… you should still inform the Immortal first. If you don't, a huge disaster might break out."
Jiang Taixuan said seriously.
"Besides, with your current strength, even if you enter the Spirit Clan, how much trouble can you make for them?"
In the current cultivation world, Xiao Fan was only mid-to-low tier.
Even if he could fight across realms and kill Life and Death Realm cultivators, the moment he entered the Spirit Clan's main territory… He wouldn't even be able to make a splash.
Who knew how many Life and Death Realm experts the Spirit Clan had hidden within their ancestral land? How many Divine Palace Realm cultivators?
And they would never fight him one-on-one.
If they swarmed him, even if Xiao Fan grew three heads and six arms, he would still die miserably.
In Jiang Taixuan's opinion, even Li Xun, at his current level, would be walking into extreme danger if he entered the Spirit Clan's ancestral grounds. Let alone Xiao Fan.
"I have a feeling… that with a bit more time, I will step into the late Divine Power Realm."
Xiao Fan said calmly.
"Huh?"
Jiang Taixuan stiffened at those words.
His heart was filled with awe.
So this… was what a monstrous prodigy looked like.
He himself relied on an ancient treasure to train at this speed. But Xiao Fan had no such artifact—he relied entirely on talent—and yet he had cultivated to near Divine Power Realm late stage in such a short time.
This speed was nearly heaven-defying!
In just two years, from early Divine Power Realm to nearly late stage…
Even that legendary Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan would only be about the same!
"You're not…?"
A sudden thought struck Jiang Taixuan. His heart trembled as he murmured:
"You're not planning… to undergo your Life and Death Tribulation inside the Spirit Clan, are you?"
The Spirit Clan's territory was extremely far from here. For Xiao Fan to travel there by himself would take a long time—at least several years.
Of course, if he used a teleportation formation or found an ancient teleportation array, the time would shorten greatly. But even then, it would still take about a year.
Within that time…
With Xiao Fan's talent, Jiang Taixuan felt he could indeed reach the Life and Death Realm.
And if he chose to undergo the Life and Death Tribulation inside the Spirit Clan…
Then the situation would become very different.
The Spirit Clan experts might be numerous, but none of them would dare approach Xiao Fan.
After all, a Heavenly Tribulation is no joke.
Anyone who dared to get too close… even if they didn't die, they would still shed a layer of skin.
But the problem was:
If Xiao Fan's Heavenly Tribulation affected too many experts at once, then it could instantly transform into a Saint Tribulation.
If that happened, not only would the Spirit Clan be doomed… Xiao Fan himself might also die along with them.
"I do intend to do that," Xiao Fan said with a nod.
"You…"
Jiang Taixuan pressed a hand to his forehead helplessly and gave a wry smile.
"For something like this, you really should inform the Immortal first."
Back in the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect's small world, he had already noticed that Li Xun treated Xiao Fan with unusual closeness.
If Xiao Fan truly died… It would set off a massive storm.
At the very least, Li Xun would never let the Spirit Clan go.
And if Li Xun truly took action against them, countless powerful factions would get involved.
Saints might appear, perhaps even Saint Kings.
That would become a world-shattering war.
Moreover, Li Xun had done him a great favor. And Xiao Fan was Li Xun's sworn younger brother.
If Jiang Taixuan did nothing, he would feel guilty.
"I must ask Brother Jiang to keep this a secret for me."
Xiao Fan said solemnly.
Li Xun had helped him too much. He didn't want to trouble Li Xun with everything.
"…Fine."
Jiang Taixuan nodded helplessly.
But behind his back, where Xiao Fan couldn't see, he quietly took out a jade transmission slip and sent out a message.
Then, with a gentle smile, he said:
"Brother Xiao, I happen to be free anyway. Why don't I accompany you? I'd like to see for myself what kind of place the Spirit Clan really is."
"…Alright."
Xiao Fan raised his head and stared at Jiang Taixuan for several seconds before slowly nodding.
A few days later, over a vast plain, two figures descended from the sky.
A man and a woman, both of peerless bearing, stood in the air.
For once, a rare expression of solemnity appeared on their faces as they gazed forward.
"So this is the Abyssal Demons' Burial Ground?"
Li Xun murmured.
They had crossed the void to get here.
On his own, Li Xun still couldn't do that. But with Huang Xi, everything was different—from the Crape Myrtle Holy Land to here, it took only a few days.
"I didn't expect the Desolate Ancient Continent to have a place like this. That black mountain range ahead… looks very unusual." Huang Xi said softly.
"I can feel terrifying auras within it. As if countless powerful beings were buried there long ago."
"The Abyssal Demons' Burial…"
Li Xun surveyed the land and spoke lightly.
"Back in ancient times, it buried innumerable corpses of Otherworldly Demons—including Saint-level and even Emperor-level demons. It's normal for such a place to emanate such pressure."
His spiritual sense swept outward, covering more than a thousand miles—yet he sensed no Otherworldly Demons nearby.
"When Otherworldly Demons descend, they usually choose extremely hidden locations. They may not necessarily be in this region. Master, let us look around the outskirts first." Huang Xi suggested.
"That works." Li Xun nodded.
He took another deep look at the mountain range ahead, and a heaviness stirred in his heart.
His intuition told him that if the Otherworldly Demons had descended here, they wouldn't simply linger outside the Abyssal Demons' Burial.
The far greater possibility was that they had entered it.
After all, for the beings of this world, this place was a terrible cursed land. But for Otherworldly Demons, it might very well be a treasure trove.
After all, what's buried inside are the corpses of their ancient ancestors!
