Chapter 338: The Gap Between the Two Realms
“Gu Fan! What do you mean by this?” Zi Xinyue’s expression turned ugly as she questioned Gu Fan.
“Could it be that you want to go back on your word?”
Gu Fan smiled and said:
“Don’t worry, I’m just concerned that once we leave, before we even walk out of Pure Radiance God Sect’s territory, we might be ambushed. You all wait inside a bit longer. We’ll be taking our leave first!”
Without waiting for the three to respond, he immediately led his group toward the entrance.
Watching Gu Fan’s departing back, Lin Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said harshly:
“Damn it, one day, I will reclaim today’s humiliation one by one!”
Zi Xinyue coldly snorted:
“Anyone can spout ruthless words. This Gu Fan… he’s far harder to deal with than Ying Langtian. No wonder he could defeat Ying Langtian and seize the position of Holy Son!”
Gu Cheng nodded in agreement:
“This man is truly terrifying…”
But just as the words left his mouth, Zi Xinyue turned a cold gaze toward him.
“And you still have the face to say that? If you hadn’t run the fastest, how could I have been suppressed by him so quickly!”
Gu Cheng opened his mouth but in the end said nothing more…
Outside Linya Cave Heaven.
A streak of light flashed, and the members of Brahma God Sect appeared in the outside world.
At this time, Lin Yi took out an Immortal Boat and said:
“Quickly, get on board! We must leave Pure Radiance God Sect’s territory at once!”
Better safe than sorry. If Lin Xiaotian got desperate and reported to his sect, some powerful figure would definitely come to pursue them.
Whether they would kill them was uncertain, but one thing was for sure—whatever they had taken would certainly be forced out of their hands.
No one dared to delay, and they boarded the Immortal Boat, flying swiftly toward their sect.
Only after leaving Pure Radiance God Sect’s territory did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lin Yi sat facing Gu Fan.
“Your domain seems to be of the sword path. If the Twin Perfection Body reaches the late stage and comprehends another complete law, would it generate two domains?”
Lin Yi nodded and said:
“In theory, yes. But the difficulty is immense, and I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to achieve it.”
Gu Fan nodded. A special constitution truly was a good thing. If Lin Yi really could comprehend two domains, combined with the killing power of his sword path, even Gu Fan felt he might not be able to secure a sure victory.
“Brother Gu, if I remember correctly, before departure you had planned to kill a portion of the disciples from the Three Families. Why did you suddenly change your mind this time?”
Lin Yi raised his doubt.
He also knew that when Gu Fan accepted this mission, he had asked the sect elders what would happen if he killed too many.
Unexpectedly, Gu Fan had barely killed anyone this time. Apart from seizing the Burial Root, he hadn’t shown much killing intent.
Gu Fan paused, his expression turning solemn as he said:
“In fact, I did intend to at first. But during my seclusion before departure, I came to realize something.”
“Right now, Destiny Continent is still far too weak. In the future, we’ll need manpower to deal with the dangers ahead.”
Lin Yi was puzzled when he heard this. Destiny Continent was weak?
Strength or weakness required a comparison. Compared to whom?
Noticing Lin Yi’s confusion, Gu Fan smiled:
“I discovered some secrets in the Rift Battlefield. I suspect that in the near future, the Void Sacred Realm will launch an attack on Destiny Continent. I haven’t reported this matter to the higher-ups yet.”
“And this won’t be a distant event. It may come before we reach higher realms of cultivation. If I were to kill off all the geniuses of Destiny Continent now, there would be no one left to fight back later.”
Only then did Lin Yi understand Gu Fan’s reasoning. Compared to the Void Sacred Realm, Destiny Continent was indeed weaker. Realizing this, Gu Fan had decided to spare those lives.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t kill in the future. The ones who deserve death will still be killed. But honestly, this group of people aren’t very bright. It was effortless to trick them into circles. There’s no need to slaughter them all.”
“Let them grow stronger. At least by then, Destiny Continent will have some power to resist.”
Lin Yi nodded.
“Brother Gu, your words make sense. But… is the Void Sacred Realm really that strong?”
Gu Fan paused, then chuckled:
“From what I’ve learned, Void Sacred Realm is just a general term. Within it lies a place called the Holy Domain. There are countless sects there, and among them, the six top sects—each one stronger than all four of our great sects combined.”
Lin Yi’s pupils shrank instantly.
Six great sects! Each stronger than the Four Great Sects?
Gu Fan continued:
“Besides the six great sects, the others are also powerful. Even a second-tier sect has disciples of terrifying strength. For example, their strongest two disciples have already reached the Three Blossoms Realm. The entire sect has over a dozen disciples who have mastered domains!”
“And that’s not all. They have twenty to thirty late-stage peak Yang Spirit cultivators as well!”
Lin Yi was shocked. For a second-tier sect to have disciples at the Three Blossoms Realm, more than ten domain cultivators, and so many peak Yang Spirit experts—this was something even Brahma God Sect couldn’t match.
“So terrifying?”
Gu Fan nodded. He glanced at the disciples behind him and said:
“This is the reality. If a war really breaks out, even just two or more of those second-tier sects could crush our sect. Forget about those six top-tier forces.”
“And so far, we’ve only compared disciples. What about the higher-level powerhouses of those sects? I suspect the gap is just as wide.”
Lin Yi’s expression turned grim. If things were truly like this, wouldn’t Destiny Continent have no power to resist at all?
“Do we really have no advantage at all?”
“That’s not quite the case…”
Gu Fan thought carefully and said:
“There are indeed two aspects where the cultivators of the Holy Domain are weaker than us.”
“First, in terms of divine souls. Aside from sects that specialize in soul cultivation, most of their disciples have weaker divine souls than ours. They don’t seem to emphasize tempering the soul.”
“Second, in terms of battle prowess. The disciples of the Holy Domain fight with a more direct strength. Very few can fight across realms. Even those who can, at best can leap a few minor stages. That’s already considered impressive.”
Lin Yi nodded. That at least could be considered a piece of good news.
But even with that, Destiny Continent still seemed to have little chance of victory…
Seeing Lin Yi deep in thought, Gu Fan smiled and said:
“But don’t worry too much. We still have some time. Once we grow stronger, it may not be impossible to fight back.”
“It’s just… if only we had more time. Otherwise, everything will be left to fate.”
Gu Fan thought to himself: if Destiny Continent truly couldn’t withstand the invasion, he would simply adapt to the situation.
If the Void Sacred Realm didn’t pay much attention to them, he would just quietly cultivate.
But if they intended to wipe out everything, then he would have no choice but to retreat into the Bronze Gate and hide within the Apocalypse World.
From time to time, he could return, plunder resources, then go back to cultivate in the Apocalypse World.
With the growth potential of the Evil Lotus, eventually, he would have the strength to protect himself.
Thinking this, his heart grew lighter.
Lin Yi looked into the distance and said:
“I believe with Brother Gu’s talent, as long as there’s enough time, you’ll definitely be able to reverse the battle. When that time comes, we’ll fight side by side!”
Gu Fan did not reply.
Who could know what the future held? Living well in the present was enough.
With these thoughts in mind, the corners of Gu Fan’s mouth curled into a smile as he gazed into the distance.
