As the vast amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were integrated, Ling Fan's heaven and earth became increasingly stable, gradually expanding to about seven and a half zhang.
Once the remaining materials were refined, it should be able to expand to about eight zhang, and the heaven and earth would be further perfected.
In addition, Ling Fan found nearly a thousand Saint Dao Origin Stones from the Saint River of Wuzhou. He also used this time to refine them all into the second great formation of the Samsara Divine Cauldron, the Bridge of Helplessness. The power of this great formation, once fully restored, made Ling Fan somewhat moved.
"Pavilion Master!"
The voice of the demon horse sounded outside the closed-door cultivation place.
"Come out quickly, Pavilion Master, Xiao Mo misses you so much."
The toad, who didn't know when he had returned, also joined in the shouting.
Ling Fan put away the Samsara Divine Cauldron, and his entire aura immediately became more profound and deep, almost unfathomable, and filled with an indescribable flavor. This was a temperament completely different from those martial artists who cultivated the Saint Dao.
After all, Ling Fan was probably the first and only heaven-opening cultivator in history.
"What is it, shouting so loudly, what kind of demeanor is this."
Ling Fan emerged from seclusion, his face stern.
"Haha, boss, you're finally out!"
The toad jumped up excitedly.
"Didn't I tell you to go to the Myriad Burial Demonic Abyss to contact the Demon Suppressing Clan? Why are you back?"
The toad said, "There must be something important to report!"
He beckoned, and a young strong man from the Demon Suppressing Clan flew over. It was that young leader of the Demon Suppressing Clan with extraordinary talent, Wang Meng.
Now Wang Meng had also cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm, with profound cultivation, and was infinitely close to becoming a true Manifestation realm expert.
"Ling Venerable... Ling Saint!"
Wang Meng still called Ling Fan as before, but as soon as he spoke, he realized something was wrong and quickly corrected himself.
"No need for formalities, let's talk about business first."
Ling Fan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Wang Meng was extremely respectful to Ling Fan, but his expression was extremely solemn. He said, "A few days ago, we suddenly received information from the Zhou family in Xingzhou. The situation was extremely urgent. The Zhou family was at a critical juncture of survival, and they summoned all former Zhou family members to go to Xingzhou for support!"
Ling Fan frowned slightly and asked, "Did the information mention the crisis?"
"It didn't go into detail, only a few words: Zhou family in danger, return quickly! Moreover, the information was transmitted using the Zhou family's secret blood-letter method, a method that the Zhou family would never use unless absolutely necessary."
Wang Meng replied.
The toad exclaimed, "Boss, fewer words mean a bigger problem."
"Mm."
Ling Fan fell into thought.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Let's go, to Xingzhou."
Ling Fan suddenly said.
"Xueyi, Elder Zhenmo, come to Xingzhou with me. Wang Meng, you too."
"Boss, what about me! What about me! It's okay if Old Ma doesn't go, but you have to take me!"
Ling Fan looked at the toad and smiled, "You reminded me. Demon Horse will go too, you stay." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I'll go!"
The toad was stunned.
"Don't, boss, take me with you. I also want to improve! Only by following you can I improve and become stronger." The toad was about to cry, feeling like he was about to lose a hundred million by not being able to hug Ling Fan's thigh.
"What are you talking about? The cultivation resources plundered from the three great sacred lands of Wuzhou are enough for you to cultivate to the Demon Saint. This way, I'll give you one month to break through to the Demon Saint, and then come to Xingzhou to find me. If you can't cultivate to the Demon Saint after a month, I'll skin you alive."
"That's more like it!" The toad muttered to himself, but said respectfully, "Yes!"
...
Between Wuzhou and Xingzhou, there is also a vast ocean.
But it is not the Stormy Sea.
It is the Chaotic Star Sea.
Speaking of the vastness of this sea, it is hundreds of millions of miles. Even if a Quasi-Saint expert flies non-stop, it would take at least half a year to cross it. Moreover, the dangers in the Chaotic Star Sea are far beyond what the Stormy Sea can compare to. The closer to Xingzhou, the more active and prosperous the martial arts are, the more powerful experts there are, and the more dangers there are. Even Quasi-Saint experts may not be able to reach Xingzhou safely.
Only by becoming a Saint can one have a greater chance of safely traversing the Chaotic Star Sea.
This does not mean that once one becomes a Saint, they can traverse the Chaotic Star Sea without restraint. Even Saints have to be extremely low-key in such lawless zones as the Chaotic Star Sea.
However.
With Ling Fan's peerless strength, comparable to a Saint King, he obviously did not need to be low-key.
Moreover, he was in a hurry and had to reach Xingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise, his registered disciples' descendants would be annihilated if he was late. Therefore, he did not have time to explore the Chaotic Star Sea.
Instead, he took Xueyi, the demon horse, the Great Elder Zhenmo, and Wang Meng, and passed directly through the Chaotic Star Sea along the central axis, in broad daylight.
After he had killed dozens of blind demon beasts and human martial artists, including several powerful beings comparable to Saints, a thick aura of blood and evil formed around him. Sensing this aura from afar, even the most audacious experts and demon beasts dared not act rashly. They were simply terrified and fled in panic at the mere scent.
For a time.
The news of a peerless expert appearing in Wuzhou and killing his way to Xingzhou spread wildly in the Chaotic Star Sea, and even spread to Xingzhou as Ling Fan set foot on the land of Xingzhou.
...
The Zhou family.
A renowned Saint Clan in Xingzhou.
The clan had more than a dozen Saint realm experts, and this was only on the surface. It was rumored that the Zhou family also had hidden Saints in seclusion, and these were the Zhou family's strongest and deepest foundation.
With such terrifying strength, the Zhou family was a top super-rich family and a super clan, even in Xingzhou, where sacred lands were everywhere.
Only a few overlords in Xingzhou could be compared with the Zhou family.
But now, this colossal super clan was in a precarious and immense crisis, with the risk of collapse at any moment.
For some unknown reason, overnight, almost all the sacred lands in Xingzhou launched a collective attack on the Zhou family, their momentum like a prairie fire.
Even terrifying experts from Yaozhou descended and joined the ranks of annihilating the Zhou family, making the Zhou family's situation increasingly difficult. Their defenses were constantly shrinking, and they were forced to abandon most of their territory, eventually retreating to the Zhou family's ancestral land. Once the ancestral land was breached, the Zhou family's demise would be inevitable.
Even for the Zhou family, it was too difficult to resist the combined forces of countless sacred lands and hundreds of thousands of Saints from Xingzhou and Yaozhou with their own strength.
...
As Ling Fan, Lan Xueyi, the demon horse, the Great Elder Zhenmo, Wang Meng, and the four people and one demon rushed towards the Zhou family.
In other directions, teams of experts, either riding powerful flying demon beasts or driving awe-inspiring Saint artifacts, were rushing towards the Zhou family day and night.
