Several elder men in black exchanged glances. Though filled with dissatisfaction, they dared not hesitate. The strength Lu Fan displayed was absolutely terrifying, far beyond their capabilities.
At this point, all they could do was comply, refraining from any further defiance.
"What lies within the Kunlun Immortal Mountain?" Lu Fan inquired. "Why do people covet entry into this Tianlong Sect? Is it truly another world inside the Tianlong Sect?"
"Why speak so much? Why not enter directly and discover the truth!"
A slight upturn of the lips, one of the black-clad men spoke, his words carrying a significant undertone.
Lu Fan said no more, stepping forward directly. His expression was one of cold detachment, the turn of events catching him somewhat off guard.
In that instant, Lu Fan transformed into a golden light and strode into the Tianlong Sect. He was eager to see what lay within, what could warrant the presence of three Heavenly Lord-level experts guarding it.
According to normal circumstances, or as the Heavenly Emperor had stated, entering the Kunlun Immortal Mountain would allow for a better comprehension of Heavenly Dao power. It was even said that once every hundred years, someone within the Kunlun Immortal Mountain would ascend to the Divine Realm. He was not fully aware of this matter.
The moment he entered the Tianlong Sect, Lu Fan felt an incredibly potent spiritual energy rush towards him, catching him by surprise.
What greeted his eyes were colossal beings, ancient beasts, and a vast valley.
"What is this?"
Lu Fan was perplexed and shaken. By all accounts, this should have been the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, but it felt as though he had entered a new world, leaving him utterly bewildered.
After walking through the valley for a considerable time, Lu Fan spotted a figure seated on a stone bridge ahead. The figure appeared ancient, clad in a white dress, holding a long sword in hand.
"May I ask, young lady, where is this place?" Lu Fan asked, cupping his fists slightly. He could sense the aura of the woman before him.
Zhao Xiaotian opened her eyes and looked towards Lu Fan, a look of suspicion crossing her face. "You are so young, how did you manage to enter this Tianlong Sect?"
"I know little of the Tianlong Sect!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But you look to be around my age. Why are you here as well?"
"The Tianlong Sect is a passage to the Primordial World. This means we are in the Primordial World!"
Zhao Xiaotian stated, "Among all the myriad worlds, only peak powerhouses can enter the Primordial World. I am from the Ziwei Realm. Where are you from?"
"The Heavenly Realm!" Lu Fan chuckled sheepishly. He actually had some understanding of these realms, but he hadn't expected the Kunlun Immortal Mountain to be a gateway to the Primordial World.
No wonder everyone in the Heavenly Realm regarded the Kunlun Immortal Mountain as a stepping stone to the Divine Realm.
"Two different realms. No wonder I've never seen you in the Ziwei Realm!" Zhao Xiaotian remarked. "You seem quite good. The aura you exude is also extraordinary!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Lu Fan bowed slightly, a smile on his face.
"However, let me tell you, this is the Primordial World, filled with many powerful beings. These individuals are not ordinary. It would be extremely dangerous to provoke them!" Zhao Xiaotian warned.
"Thank you for informing me!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists again, his expression becoming more solemn.
"You seem to be around my age, likely a person of great talent. Why don't we travel together? Perhaps we can then comprehend the Dao Heart and break through to achieve that supreme divine realm!" Zhao Xiaotian said directly.
"If you do not mind, then it shall be as you say!" Lu Fan bowed slightly, his expression growing more serious.
Since this was the Primordial World, it was bound to be extraordinary. Finding a friend here might not be a bad thing.
After all, more friends meant more paths, especially since Zhao Xiaotian before him was clearly not an ordinary person.
"Since we are traveling together, you are now my Dao companion. We will cultivate together and both become supreme divine beings!" Zhao Xiaotian added.
"Dao companion?"
Lu Fan stood stunned, his face twitching slightly. He had merely intended to make a friend, but he hadn't anticipated Zhao Xiaotian having such intentions, leaving him momentarily speechless.
"What? Is there a problem?" Zhao Xiaotian looked at Lu Fan, her expression full of doubt.
"Of course not. However, I believe it would be best if we remained friends!" Lu Fan said with an awkward smile.
"While I may not be devastatingly beautiful, I still possess some charm. But looking at you, it seems you're not interested in me?" Zhao Xiaotian rolled her eyes. "Am I just being wishful?"
"Certainly not!" Lu Fan quickly explained. "I am already free from desires, how could I possibly covet anything else!"
"Then that is for the best!" Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. But speaking of which, it must have been difficult for you to reach this point!"
"Cough, cough..."
Lu Fan coughed a few times. He felt that Zhao Xiaotian's words were rather awkward, leaving him unsure of how to respond.
As they were conversing, a massive figure suddenly appeared in the sky, seemingly blotting out the sun, radiating an unparalleled aura.
"Not good, it's the Blood Demon Eagle!"
Zhao Xiaotian exclaimed. "We need to leave here quickly. If it discovers us, it will be troublesome!"
"What, do you have a grudge against this eagle?" Lu Fan asked, surprised.
"To enhance my cultivation, I ate this eagle's eggs. It won't let me off easily!" Zhao Xiaotian stated frankly. "You should hurry and leave with me to avoid causing trouble!"
Following her words, Lu Fan nodded slightly, not saying much more, and prepared to leave with Zhao Xiaotian, his expression grave. If what Zhao Xiaotian said was true, it would indeed be difficult to handle.
After all, the aura emanating from the Blood Demon Eagle was terrifying, likely indicating immense power.
Concurrently, the Blood Demon Eagle seemed to have locked onto Zhao Xiaotian. Its deep eyes held a chilling glint, striking fear into onlookers.
"It's over, the Blood Demon Eagle has definitely locked onto me!" Zhao Xiaotian frowned. "It seems we have no choice but to go there!"
"Go where?" Lu Fan asked urgently. The Blood Demon Eagle was incredibly powerful, even more so than Heavenly Lord-level experts. If it caught them, they would surely perish.
"To the Fire Domain of the Primordial World. Then, you should be able to control this Blood Demon Eagle!" Zhao Xiaotian said in a low voice, then hurried to lead the way. Any slight misstep could spell their doom.
