Chapter 27: Supreme Beings Must Hold Awe in Their Hearts
Chapter 27: Supreme Beings Must Hold Awe in Their Hearts
The two black finger bones outside the door, at this moment, captured the gaze of everyone present, stunning them into disbelief… it was incredible!
Did this mean that two Supreme-level Yaksha Demon Generals, after unleashing Immortal-level strength, were unable to even enter the gate and were killed on the doorstep by that senior?
It was simply too unbelievable!
How strong must one be?
They had originally thought that a great Immortal-level battle must have occurred, and that the senior might have been injured or even worse.
But they had not expected such an outcome…
Supremes dying at the gate…
"The strength of this senior is really too formidable… Not only surpassing the Supreme, but even Immortals would find it hard to contend with him!”
Hongxuan Supreme exclaimed in shock.
"With such a being, it’s no wonder he dares to plot and wait for the Evil God!”Luo Ming also took a deep breath.
They understood that they had all underestimated this senior before.
After all, they were Supremes from Holy Lands and, to them, Immortals were not an unattainable existence.
Hence, while they had respect for Li Fan, they did not fear him.
But now it seemed that this senior could even kill Immortals!
They couldn’t help but feel fear.
And at this moment, a clear voice rang out,
“Eh? Qian Ning, you’ve arrived?”
Mu Qianning and the others, hearing this, turned around to see Li Fan, accompanied by two young girls, walking over from another path.
Immediately, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit rushed to greet him, saying,
“We pay our respects to the senior!”
Luo Ming Supreme and Hongxuan Supreme were at this point taken aback.
This young man before them, was he the one who could slay Immortals, whose casual drawing could destroy a Demon Venerable?
At a glance, he looked like a mere mortal… Even they, esteemed as Supremes, could not see through him in the slightest!
Mysterious and unfathomable!
"No, wait… this senior seems to have come from outside… and he shows no signs of having been in combat at all…”
Luo Ming felt a slight shock in his heart.
"Could it be that those two Yaksha Demon Generals did not encounter this senior? Then… how did they end up dead outside the courtyard gate?”
Hongxuan was surprised as well.
The two exchanged glances.
Taking a deep breath, Hongxuan immediately said,
“Hongxuan of Taiyan Holy Land pays respects to the senior!”
Even as Supremes, they dared not presume!
"Luo Ming of Ziyang Holy Land pays respects to the senior!”
Luo Ming was equally respectful!
Hearing these two speak, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who had been following Li Fan, were once again too shocked to utter a word.
They stared at the scene, finding it… incredible!
"Hongxuan, Luo Ming… the two legendary Supremes have appeared… and even they show such respect to this senior!”
Stormy waves surged in Nan Feng’s eyes.
Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land were no less mighty than Three Absolutes Holy Land, and the venerable names of Hongxuan and Luo Ming were known throughout the world!
What kind of existence was this senior, to command such respect from these two?
Only an Immortal!
Had they… truly encountered an Immortal?!
Seeing their reactions, Li Fan was puzzled; these two seemed to be cultivators as well. What were they doing here?
"Why have you come here?”
He inquired.
With respect, Luo Ming said,
“Senior Li, your ‘Great Sun Taoist Map’ is renowned throughout the Southern Territory, known to all; we were longing to meet you and have specifically come for this visit!”
The
“Great Sun Taoist Map” he mentioned was the very same one Li Fan had given to Fire Spirit.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed that after giving the painting to Fire Spirit, she must have displayed it somewhere, and perhaps even sent it to an auction or such; as a result, its fame had spread.
This was why Luo Ming and the others had come.
Maybe they were here to buy the painting!
This was a good thing indeed; Li Fan, talented as he was, would benefit from selling some of his art.
With this thought in mind, Li Fan’s smile deepened, already treating the two as potential buyers of his artwork.
"If that’s the case, please accompany me to the courtyard for a talk.”
"Please.”
Li Fan gestured.
Luo Ming and the others said respectfully,
“Senior Li, please lead the way; how dare we proceed before you!”
They were indeed extremely courteous!
These people truly understood the value of proper etiquette… Li Fan didn’t say much else and walked ahead, noticing the doors open, he commented with a smile,
“It seems quite windy today.”
He then pushed the door open and entered.
Luo Ming and Hongxuan became contemplative in an instant.
Vastly windy!
Was this senior hinting at something?
As they followed Li Fan into the courtyard, both Hongxuan and Luo Ming immediately felt an inexplicable oppression!
It nearly stifled their breath!
"Such a powerful domain… terrifyingly formidable, we’re fortunate to be following Senior Li; had we trespassed without permission, we might indeed have ended up with no place for our corpses.”
Luo Ming was struck with a sense of relief.
Hongxuan nodded in agreement. The domain here felt more frightening than Taiyan Holy Land’s Immortal-level protective great array!
"Why do I feel… that those two Yaksha Demon Generals… perhaps, they were killed by the domain of this place?”
He became increasingly suspicious.
Both Supremes subconsciously glanced toward Li Fan’s courtyard.
"Is that… is that a Pantao?!”
Suddenly, Hong Xuan transmitted his shock, looking at a peach tree beside him!
Above that peach tree, there were clearly a dozen crystal-clear Pan Peaches, their fragrance piercingly aromatic, such that merely stepping into the courtyard one could feel bathed in the blessing of a Holy Medicine!
"It really is… a Pan Peach, isn’t it a sacred object grown in the Immortal Domain?!”
Luo Ming was astounded.
This senior, he actually owns one?
Could it be that this senior has descended from the Immortal Domain?!
As if sensing the gaze of the two, a surge of energy emanated from the Pantao Tree.
"Boom!”
Instantly, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were both shaken to the core, as if they had witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene, their faces turned pale and they nearly spat out blood!
This was a warning!
"Don’t… don’t look around carelessly, we cannot afford to provoke anything here, spying is not allowed!”
Luo Ming hurriedly transmitted a reminder!
Hong Xuan was shocked to his spirit, lowering his head and not daring to look again.
They were Supremes, and yet, just one glance nearly shook their foundational cultivation…
It seems that this Pantao really is a divine object from the Immortal Domain—and moreover, the Pantao Tree likely had already acquired a spirit.
Merely a tree spirit, and its strength was not something even Supremes could provoke!
The reverence in their hearts soared!
At this moment, Li Fan also spoke,
“Everybody please take a seat.”
He carried out tea from the room and said,
“I only have simple tea to offer to guests.”
Yu Qishui and Mu Qianning’s eyes immediately lit up!
They had tasted Senior Li’s tea before.
This was another great opportunity!
Without hesitation, they both sat down, waiting obediently.
Li Fan served tea to each of them. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan hurriedly rose to their feet with respect, receiving it with both hands.
Such an entity was serving them tea!
It appears, just as Fire Spirit and others had said, this was an invincible Immortal, living here incognito, not fond of revealing his terrifying power.
He merely wished to live a life of a common man.
This, perhaps, is what a true big shot is??
At that moment, Yu Qishui and others were drinking tea and then they closed their eyes, their faces showing a look of intoxication as they entered a state of Dao.
Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately felt enlightened; this tea was definitely not simple!
They seriously picked up the tea and took a light sip.
As the tea touched their lips,
Suddenly, the essence of Dao filled their senses!
It was as if what they drank was not a cup of tea, but a cup of the great Dao of heaven and earth!
Upon swallowing the tea, Spiritual Power surged throughout their bodies!
In their blood and meridians, minute and ephemeral Rule Fragments, which were dormant, began to awaken and emitted layers of extraordinary light!
Rule Fragments were strengthening and forming connections!
Their Supreme Realm was gradually becoming more complete!
At that moment, both of them were completely shocked!
Similarly, Nan Feng and Zi Ling also closed their eyes at this moment, earnestly contemplating, benefiting greatly and comprehending their own Dao!
After a long while, everyone slowly opened their eyes.
Almost all of them had made significant improvements!
Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately got up and performed a deep bow!
"Many thanks for the great kindness of the senior!”
They spoke, very earnestly!
This cup of tea was too important to them!
In fact, both of their paths had almost come to an end, they had been stuck in the Supreme Realm for hundreds of years, unable to advance further.
But, just now, the Rule Fragments within them became clearer, more complete, and even increased in number.
It meant that the paths, which they thought were cut off, had been reconnected.
For a Supreme, this was akin to being reborn!
Such great kindness was more than they could ever repay even with their lives!
At the same time, their understanding of Li Fan once again elevated, a cup of tea that could help a Supreme comprehend the Dao, was definitely beyond the existence of the entire Xuan Tian Realm.
Nan Feng and Zi Ling also performed deep bows, their charming faces filled with excitement because just now, Zi Ling had directly broken through to the Divided Spirit Realm!
And Nan Feng, who was originally in the Soul Splitting First Layer, had also advanced to the Third Heavens of Divided Spirit Realm!
——Enlightenment Tea could directly assist one in comprehending the Dao, and breakthroughs in cultivation level were just a byproduct.
With this cup of tea, they could all rapidly advance in their cultivation for a long time without any obstacles!
Li Fan smiled and said,
“There’s no need for such formalities, meeting here means fate has brought us together, and besides, we are all fellow cultivators.”
After speaking, he unfolded the painting to show Luo Ming and the others, saying,
“This is what I painted today. You’ve all come from afar, take a look if you will!”
As the saying goes, scholars meet through poetry, chess players through chess… These people had come to visit Li Fan for his paintings, so naturally, they should meet over paintings.
Moreover, since they came to buy paintings, it was only proper to let them see before discussing the price.
Upon seeing the painting, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately showed amazement in their eyes, fixating on the artwork!
Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others also showed shocked expressions!
