Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2249 - 2231: How Long Will the Seclusion Last?

"You’re not Lin Feng?" The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast looked at Fang Yan, asking with great curiosity. Clearly, Fang Yan resembled Lin Feng, so how could it not be him? But suddenly, he thought of another possibility and smiled as he asked Fang Yan, "Are you perhaps Lin Feng’s doppelganger?"

Although this answer was hard for him to accept, it was indeed a possibility. If his guess was correct, then Lin Feng’s power undoubtedly exceeded his imagination. Among the powerful beings he knew, only those old immortals at the Heavenly Immortal Realm had doppelgangers, so he wanted to clarify this situation to see if his guess was accurate.

"That’s right, I am Lin Feng’s doppelganger." Fang Yan was quite amazed that the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast could guess his identity. However, considering the formidable power of this being and the many years it had lived, it was indeed possible for it to make such a deduction, so Fang Yan was not too bothered by it.

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s admission, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast’s expression immediately became serious. He sighed and said to Fang Yan, "I did not expect it, truly. So you’re Lin Feng’s doppelganger. This means Lin Feng’s strength is indeed beyond the Heavenly Immortal realm. I really don’t understand how such a powerful being like Lin Feng could emerge from such a poor environment as Earth."

To be honest, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast was really struck now. Having lived for many years and still stuck at the half-step Demon Saint level, while Lin Feng, at just twenty or so, had already reached such a level, was unimaginable to him. Even in the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, he had never seen such a genius. He couldn’t comprehend how Lin Feng cultivated. He had never heard of such talent; it could no longer be described merely as genius because he had no words for it.

After speaking, the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast sighed again and then earnestly said to Fang Yan, "I’ve decided. Heaven Demon Forest can join the war, but I hope to have a chance to meet your true self, Lin Feng. Also, I hope you can help us by refining a batch of elixirs to strengthen the Heaven Demon Forest, as joining the human war involves great risk."

"There’s no problem with that. While it’s hard to say about meeting the true self, it should be possible. As for alchemy, there’s no issue either. However, I hope there won’t be too many elixirs requested because this unprecedented war is about to begin, and I need to find a place to cultivate, aiming to reach the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm before the war starts." Hearing this, Fang Yan nodded and answered. The request was not unreasonable at all; it was something he should be doing, so he agreed readily.

"It’s a deal then. As for the alchemy issue, Old Turtle will talk to you. He will handle everything. If I’m not mistaken, it should be about thirty Heavenly Grade Elixirs." the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast smiled at Fang Yan as he replied. These matters had already been planned long ago; this just expedited them a bit.

"Alright, once I leave, I’ll find the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle." Fang Yan nodded and answered directly. Then he suddenly looked at the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast and smilingly asked, "Senior, I’m very curious about your true form, may I have a look?"

"You brat!" The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast looked at Fang Yan and nodded with a smile, saying, "My true form is nothing special, just a mental-type demon beast with some Dragon Clan bloodline, nothing worth seeing!"

Hearing the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast say this, Fang Yan smiled immediately, not dwelling on it. He bowed to the Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast and then said, "Senior, the matters are discussed. I should be leaving now, as I have many things to arrange before going into seclusion."

"Alright, you can go now." The Divine Intent Phantom Dragon Beast, without hesitation, directly gave his permission. Not only did Fang Yan have arrangements to make, but so did he. After all, the entire Heaven Demon Forest was about to go to war, and this was a matter that could not be taken lightly. As the king of the Heaven Demon Forest, he had to be responsible for all the demon beasts within it.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan did not say another word and turned to leave. Soon after, Fang Yan flew out of the large pit and immediately saw the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle, and the two of them left together.

Once they returned to the surface, Fang Yan turned to the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle and said, "Your king has agreed. Also, he mentioned that you would be responsible for the elixir refining for the Heaven Demon Forest. You should have already prepared some spiritual medicine by now, right?"

Hearing Fang Yan’s words, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle was overjoyed and immediately said to Fang Yan, "The Heaven Demon Forest has collected a lot of spiritual medicine recently, all prepared for your help in refining elixirs. We were thinking of waiting a bit longer, but now that the king has spoken to you, we can proceed. However, the spiritual medicine is not on me; let me know when you’re ready to refine them, and I’ll bring them to you."

Fang Yan nodded, glanced at the sky, seeing it gradually grow dark, and after a brief thought, said to the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle, "Alright then, I’ll go check on my sister first. You can find me tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I’ll go prepare." Hearing this, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle immediately nodded in response, then took to the air, transforming into a light, and disappeared from where he stood.

Watching the direction the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle disappeared in, Fang Yan sighed, and then, with a flick of his form, he too disappeared from where he stood.

When Fang Yan appeared again, he found himself beside Qin Kun and Wu Shan, causing both individuals to be extremely surprised, as they hadn’t thought Fang Yan would return so suddenly.

"Boss, you’re back!"

"Boss, how come you’re back?"

Both of them looked at Fang Yan, puzzled and confused. Last time, the boss said he might be away for a long time, yet now he had returned without much time passing. What had happened?

Looking at Qin Kun and Wu Shan, Fang Yan’s expression turned serious as he said to them, "The situation has changed. The war between Earth and the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm might start sooner than expected. You two need to inform your families to prepare accordingly and be ready for the situations that will arise."

"What!"

"This!"

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, both Qin Kun and Wu Shan were astounded. They didn’t expect the war to commence so quickly. Immediately, their thoughts turned to family matters, and they each took out their Communication Spirit Stones to relay these events to their families, ensuring they were adequately prepared and ready to relocate the entire family if necessary.

But before they could contact their families, Fang Yan intervened, saying, "When you tell your families about this, make sure they don’t spread the word. Only a few know currently, and spreading it would be disadvantageous for everyone."

"Yes, Boss!"

"Don’t worry, Boss, we know what to do."

Both nodded in agreement, and then each left, heading to contact their respective families.

After watching them leave temporarily, Fang Yan’s form flickered, and he went to Fang Le’er’s side. Seeing Fang Le’er in the midst of cultivation, he smiled contentedly and chose not to disturb her, standing there quietly while watching her train.

At midnight, Fang Le’er exhaled deeply and opened her eyes. Upon meeting Fang Yan’s gaze, she immediately smiled.

"You’re back. When did you return? Why didn’t you tell me?" Fang Le’er asked Fang Yan with a smile as she ran to his side, throwing herself into his arms with a blush spreading across her face.

"I’ve been back for a while. I saw you were cultivating, so I didn’t disturb you." Fang Yan replied with a smile, then added, "You’ve been doing well these days, progressing rapidly!"

"Well, with you not here, there wasn’t much for me to do but cultivate. To be honest, constant cultivation gets really boring!" Fang Le’er laughed from within Fang Yan’s embrace. But after saying this, she suddenly pulled away and looked at Fang Yan suspiciously, asking, "I feel something’s off. Is there something about to happen?"

In response, Fang Yan gave a faint smile and then replied, "Yes, there is something about to happen. I returned to arrange a few things, after which I will also enter seclusion to swiftly elevate my strength. Time is pressing now."

"Ah! What is about to happen?" Fang Le’er, upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, immediately grew nervous, not knowing what he was referring to nor the potential danger involved. She was even more concerned about how long Fang Yan would be in seclusion, leaving her unsure of what to do.

"The war between Earth and the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm will likely commence soon, and when that time comes, I’ll return to Earth. But there’s no need to worry; it has little direct impact on you. Once you’re on Earth, you can enjoy yourself without concern." Seeing Fang Le’er tense up, Fang Yan explained with a smile. The human-immortal war would be vast, but it didn’t directly affect Fang Le’er, so she didn’t need to bear any burden regarding it.

Hearing this, Fang Le’er’s expression eased somewhat. Fang Yan had mentioned this before, and she did want to see what Earth was like. But remembering the mention of seclusion, she hesitated and asked, "How long will you be in seclusion this time?"

"That I’m not sure of, but it shouldn’t be very long. Once the human-immortal war begins, I’ll emerge regardless of whether I’ve reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm." Fang Yan answered, hearing Fang Le’er’s inquiry.

"Oh!" Fang Le’er responded simply, indicating a bit of displeasure.
