Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1907 - 1889: Open and Aboveboard

Upon hearing the two agreeing, Fang Yan nodded and said lightly to them, "It will hurt a bit, bear with it."

After saying that, Fang Yan thought for a moment, suddenly shot a few silver needles into their bodies, sealing their actions and speech abilities. This pain was not ordinary; it’s better to prevent any wailing sounds in advance as he didn’t want to hear cries and howls.

Then he seriously recalled the Secret Technique in his heart, gradually, a pale golden glow began to rise from Fang Yan’s body, like smoke, splitting into two streams flowing towards Qin Kun and Wu Shan.

This scene left Qin Kun and Wu Shan stunned, not understanding what Fang Yan was doing, still thinking that if it would hurt a bit, they could just bear it. Why seal them? But just as they thought about this, suddenly they felt a bone-piercing pain, as if they were being torn apart, and this pain became indescribable as time passed, in the blink of an eye they felt as if their souls were being shredded!

Where the hell is this just a little pain, Boss tricked us!

In the last moments before losing consciousness, a thought popped into their minds, and then they could no longer control their bodies, fainting from the sheer pain.

But even though both fainted from the pain, their bodies remained in a state of electric shock, trembling like a sieve, with muscles and nerves spasming, and the sweat on their bodies had long since soaked their clothes...

An hour later.

Fang Yan finally sighed in relief, then retracted the pale golden Gang Qi, glanced at the two, and with a gentle wave of his hand, several silver needles flew back into his hand. This Secret Technique was indeed exhausting to perform, but the effect was satisfactory. To break the Lock of Soul he placed, one would have to have a Divine Sense stronger than his, which few would have, so generally, not many could read their souls.

At this time, Qin Kun and Wu Shan also woke up, their bodies sore and weak, as if they had endured a serious illness, looking at Fang Yan with eyes full of grievance, thinking if the Boss knew how painful it was, why not just make them faint immediately instead of letting them suffer so much, it was simply too much.

However, the two dared not say anything, and as they looked at Fang Yan, they forced out smiles as if nothing had happened before, although their clothes were already soaked, they truly felt uncomfortable.

"Boss, are we okay now?"

"Boss, what did you do to us..."

The two looked at Fang Yan and asked. They didn’t want to suffer so much only to be ineffective; that would mean they suffered in vain?

"Rest assured, the Secret Technique was successfully deployed. What I have set up is a Secret Technique called Lock of Soul which can seal your Divine Souls; unless someone’s Divine Sense is stronger than mine, they cannot forcefully search your souls." Fang Yan looked at them and simply explained.

Upon hearing this, the two smiled. A Divine Sense stronger than the boss’? There are only a few in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and they knew how abnormal Fang Yan’s Divine Sense was, so now they were basically safe, no longer anxious about soul searches.

Afterwards, the two bid farewell and went back to bathe and change clothes, as the sweat-soaked clothes made them extremely uncomfortable...

Once the two left the cave, Fang Yan slightly frowned, pondered seriously, and began soul communication with his main body, Lin Feng.

"Main body, I encountered something..."

"Men in black? Who are these people, soul search?"

"They are from Hidden Kill, and I always felt the one soul searching Elder Shi was not ordinary, not just anyone can soul search unnoticed."

"It’s good to be cautious, if worst comes to worst, it doesn’t matter to reveal all cards, as long as the opponent can be killed. One Taoist has returned, maybe the others are returning too?"

"Probably so."

"Your current power must have caught the upper echelons’ attention, find a chance to put in more effort, kill Fang Pu, and then replace him as Taoist."

"Hmm, I thought the same."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, from the current situation, it seems the Holy Soul Sect is planning something big. You need to be cautious on your side."

"Hmm, actually, some Human Immortal Realm cultivators have already appeared here on Earth, all coming from the Immortal Realm."

...

Lin Feng and his doppelganger, Fang Yan, discussed a few matters briefly and set the plans for the future. After dealing with some issues, they severed their soul connection. Fang Yan began contemplating the issues of the man in black, the mastermind behind the scenes, and how to kill Fang Pu without being punished by the sect.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng considered other matters in another location. The strange occurrences matched what Fang Yan had described—something significant was likely happening in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. However, without specific intelligence from Fang Yan, Lin Feng couldn’t guess what exactly was occurring in the Immortal Realm.

As Fang Yan was recuperating in his cave dwelling, thinking over the issues, the outside world was already in an uproar.

The entire Divine Sword Sect was shocked by Fang Yan’s displayed strength. With his Heaven Flipping Realm peak strength, he defeated the Taoist Wu Chen, an event that was practically unheard of. Everyone began to see Fang Yan as an extraordinary being. Most disciples of the Divine Sword Sect idolized Fang Yan, revering him as a Divine Being.

Not only the disciples, but even the Sect Master and numerous elders of the Divine Sword Sect were stunned by this news. They all realized a critical fact: Fang Yan now far surpassed Shi Kuohai in heavenly defiance. Such cultivation talent made the elders green with envy.

Inside the Council Hall.

"Sect Master, can Fang Yan become a Taoist?"

"Sect Master, Fang Yan was already a reserve Taoist Master, and now he has the strength to defeat Wu Chen. He is more than qualified to become a Taoist."

Elder Zhou and Elder Wang looked at Jue Tiannan, who was seated at the main seat, and asked. The two elders were overjoyed; their prior nomination for a Taoist Master had been rejected by the Great Elder. Now that Fang Yan had defeated Wu Chen, they seized this perfect opportunity to propose Fang Yan’s promotion again.

Several other elders nodded in agreement at this time. According to the sect’s rules, Fang Yan, who could defeat Wu Chen, indeed qualified to be promoted to a Taoist. They found it hard to believe that such an achievement was real. Defeating Wu Chen with the strength of the Heaven Flipping Realm peak was something unbelievable, yet undeniable.

But reality is reality, and everyone in the Divine Sword Sect already knew it. Even if they didn’t believe it, they had no choice. Therefore, they felt promoting Fang Yan to Taoist was reasonable. Although Fang Yan was only at the Heaven Flipping Realm peak, his real combat power was evident. Not everyone in the world has the exceptional talent to fight above their level. Such talent should not be wasted.

Jue Tiannan sat quietly, squinting as if in meditation. He knew the Great Elder would certainly oppose this matter, so he wasn’t anxious at all.

As expected, as soon as Elder Zhou and Elder Wang finished speaking, the Great Elder’s voice sounded.

"Fang Yan defeated Wu Chen by using some underhanded means. How can someone who relies on such means become a Taoist? This will bring harm, not benefit, to our Divine Sword Sect. Moreover, Fang Yan’s current strength is only at the Heaven Flipping Realm peak, not meeting the criteria for promotion to Taoist. So, Elder Zhou and Elder Wang, there’s no need to discuss this matter any further. Fang Yan becoming a reserve Taoist Master is already good enough. To think of him becoming a Taoist—what a joke! He doesn’t have the qualifications yet."

The Great Elder Qian Li immediately retorted with cold sarcasm upon hearing the words of Elder Zhou and Elder Wang. How could he allow Fang Yan to become a Taoist? He still wanted to kill Fang Yan, so the two elders’ words today were simply against him. How could he let them have their way?

Through the words of Elder Zhou and Elder Wang, Qian Li realized one thing: they had fully aligned with Lin Feng. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, thinking to himself that these two were utterly ignorant, wanting to disrupt his plans without knowing their limitations, delusional in their reliance on Fang Yan’s backing.

"Great Elder, what do you mean by this? Fang Yan used some means? I was present at the scene. Fang Yan defeated Wu Chen fair and square. There are many witnesses," Elder Zhou’s brow furrowed at Qian Li’s words, speaking frankly. He finally understood that Qian Li didn’t want Fang Yan to become a Taoist, purely for personal gain. Such a person was unworthy of being the Great Elder!

"Fair and square? Ridiculous. Who would believe that? With the strength of the Heaven Flipping Realm peak to defeat Wu Chen—can you do it? When you say it, ask if anyone in the world can believe it. Still trying to make a case!" Qian Li immediately retorted. He was indeed twisting the facts, but he had no other choice. He must stop this at all costs. Fang Yan becoming a Taoist would ruin all his plans.

"Great Elder, Fang Yan can’t be judged by common sense. He inherently possesses extraordinary combat prowess beyond others. His level and strength are fundamentally unmatched. Moreover, it was witnessed by so many at the Martial Arena. Fang Yan’s victory over Wu Chen is indisputable. How can you insist he used some means? And even if he did, being able to defeat an opponent a realm higher is exactly why such an extraordinary talent should be utilized by the sect!"

Elder Wang couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up immediately. He understood that with Qian Li around, Fang Yan couldn’t possibly become a Taoist. Although he couldn’t offend Qian Li, he resolved to stand firm for Fang Yan’s value to the Divine Sword Sect.
