Chapter 10: First Meeting with Zhao Gongming, Clarifying the Timeline

Most importantly, the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls in Zhao Gongming's hands could be said to be the existence second only to the Innate Supreme Treasure in the Great Desolation, and also the first-class auxiliary treasure in the Great Desolation.

Don't look at it as just twenty-four medium-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, it feels even less powerful than a Superior Innate Spirit Treasure.

But in reality, the true function of the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls is not to defend against enemies, but to serve as a medium to open up the world.

Zhao Gongming didn't know the true function of the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, but Randeng knew it. After Zhao Gongming's death, he used the Universe Ruler to connect the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls and successfully opened up the Twenty-Four Heavens, leaping from a Quasi-Saint at the bottom to a big shot at the Quasi-Saint level.

The blessing of the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens directly made Randeng the Past Buddha after he betrayed the Profound Sect and joined the Western Sect, and his status was second only to the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti. Even the future Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Tathagata, could at most sit on an equal footing with him.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, you finally came out."

At this moment, Bixiao's voice woke Lin Fan up.

Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the boundary of the valley.

At this moment, Bixiao was standing on the opposite bank of the stream, waving at him, with a smile like a spring breeze, making people feel her youth and liveliness.

"Senior Sister Bixiao!"

Coming back to his senses, Lin Fan walked up and bowed to her immediately.

However, before Lin Fan could say anything else, Bixiao took the lead: "Junior Brother Lin Fan, come with me!"

"My Eldest Brother is here, he brought a lot of delicious food, don't let Eldest Sister and Second Sister finish it!"

Saying this, Bixiao jumped and hopped toward her residence.

Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't say anything, and immediately followed her without hesitation.

Not long after, the two arrived at the cave dwelling where the Three Xiao sisters lived.

However, at this moment, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Zhao Gongming were not in the cave dwelling, but in the wooden pavilion outside the cave dwelling.

There were many spirit fruits, pastries, and tea on the table.

"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I'm back."

Shouting, Bixiao rushed into the pavilion, sat down, and started eating pastries.

And the gazes of Yunxiao and the three were now gathered on Lin Fan, and they had long been immune to Bixiao's gluttonous appearance.

Looking at Lin Fan who walked up, Yunxiao immediately introduced: "Junior Brother Lin Fan, you are here."

"This is my brother Zhao Gongming!"

Saying this, Yunxiao pointed to Zhao Gongming on the side.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yunxiao, greetings, Senior Sister Qiongxiao!"

Bowing, Lin Fan didn't slack off, and then his gaze looked at Zhao Gongming.

This Zhao Gongming was a big fat man, even fatter than Duobao, wearing a white Daoist robe with gold edges, and the whole person sitting there gave people a feeling of stability and dignity.

"Good appearance!"

"As expected of the future God of Wealth!"

Muttering in his heart, Lin Fan bowed to Zhao Gongming again: "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao Gongming!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin Fan!"

Laughing, Zhao Gongming stood up and bowed to Lin Fan as well.

Immediately after, he continued: "However, Fellow Daoist, you don't have to call me Senior Brother. After all, I am only an Outer Sect Disciple, not an Inner Sect Disciple."

"If possible, how about we call each other Fellow Daoist?"

"Good!"

Nodding, Lin Fan didn't refuse.

Don't look at the huge gap in strength between the two, but his status as an Inner Sect Disciple was indeed not something Zhao Gongming could act recklessly with.

"Haha~"

Seeing Lin Fan agree, Zhao Gongming also laughed, and directly pointed to the seat beside him: "Fellow Daoist, sit down, taste how the things I brought are."

"Then I will respectfully obey."

Raising the corners of his mouth, Lin Fan didn't refuse.

He walked directly to Zhao Gongming's side and sat down, casually picking up a spirit fruit and sending it into his mouth.

The next second, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

As the spirit fruit entered his stomach, he could clearly feel that his magic power had increased a bit.

And this was just caused by one spirit fruit. If he ate more, wouldn't it be...

"Fellow Daoist, how is the taste?"

Noticing Lin Fan's change, Zhao Gongming raised the corners of his mouth and said.

"Good stuff!"

Coming back to his senses, Lin Fan looked at Zhao Gongming and said: "This should be the fruit nurtured by an Innate Spiritual Root, right?"

"Zhao Gongming Fellow Daoist was able to get so many, it is truly enviable."

"Fellow Daoist is serious."

Waving his hand, Zhao Gongming said indifferently: "These are just fruits nurtured by low-grade spiritual roots. Although they are precious, they are not non-existent."

"Even looking at the Great Desolation, there are countless existences of this kind."

"Unfortunately, the conflict between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan in the Great Desolation land has become increasingly fierce, and the third Witch-Demon War is afraid that it has already started to have signs."

"Otherwise, it is not a difficult thing to wander in the Great Desolation for a period of time and collect some spiritual roots."

The third Witch-Demon War is about to start!

The final swan song of the Witch-Demon Calamity!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Fan understood the timeline now.

He knew the outbreak point of the third Witch-Demon War: the ten golden crows came out of Tang Valley, burning the world, causing countless areas of the Great Desolation to fall into drought and even famine.

After that, Kuafu died chasing the sun, and Houyi broke out and shot nine golden crows, thoroughly opening the third Witch-Demon War. Even in this battle, the high-level officials of both sides were wiped out, the Witch and Demon clans were severely injured and thoroughly withdrew from the Great Desolation stage, the era of the Human Race arrived, and the era of the Saints arrived.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Lin Fan.

After all, he had already become Tongtian's disciple and was on Golden Turtle Island. Even if the Witch-Demon Calamity fought to the death, it would not affect him.

But after the Witch-Demon Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity would come.

Although there was a buffer period for the rise of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it was not too long in reality.

With his current situation, he was afraid that it would be difficult to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm before the Investiture of the Gods, and then...

"Become stronger!"

"Must become stronger as soon as possible."

"If it really reaches the last resort, it is not impossible to be physically invested in the gods!"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately said: "Such a dangerous thing, we should not participate."

"Spirit fruits are good, but compared to one's own life, they are nothing."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Zhao Gongming all looked at Lin Fan deeply.

It was a simple sentence, but it gave them the feeling that Lin Fan was too steady, and even a bit timid!

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, you are too timid."

"We are disciples of the Saint, even the people of the Witch and Demon clans dare not do anything to us!"

Bixiao shouted while eating pastries, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster.

"Bixiao, stop talking nonsense!"

Yunxiao reprimanded helplessly: "There are countless strong people in the Witch and Demon clans, and many of them are on equal footing with Master. How can we juniors provoke them?"

"I have told you many times that awe and respect for the strong are necessary. If you continue to have such thoughts, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!" ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
