C532 'Dangerous lake, here comes revenge! '
In all these years, this was the first time he was mocked like this by someone else. It was only because he was a lake, so he called him a coward and a good-for-nothing.
How could someone like him, who had already entered the late stage of the Sendai, be afraid of a small lake? She didn't even dare to enter the lake.
In order to prove that he was not a coward or a good-for-nothing, and also wanted to accept Xiao Fan and Ling City's two little brothers, he gritted his teeth. With hatred in his heart, he decided to go down into the lake and test the dangers of the lake.
He had to show off his big brother's demeanor. He absolutely could not allow his two future lackeys to look down on him.
Seeing Taoist Tian Wu's displeased expression, Xiao Fan and Ling Cheng retreated a few steps back, their faces had a smile on them.
This shameless Taoist Tian Wu was finally angered by the two of them and was about to try the dangers of the lake.
When Taoist Tian Wu arrived at the lakeside, he was only an inch away from the lake, but at this distance, he stopped hesitating and did not continue onward.
"Why are you afraid? Are you trying to show us your big brother's demeanor, or are you still a cowardly bastard? " Ling City ridiculed the Taoist Tian Wu loudly.
"Piss off!" This Daoist will be terrified, I am only listening to the surroundings and observing the surroundings, I can only continue to move forward after the situation has been investigated! " Taoist Tian Wu immediately said in a straightforward manner: "I can see that the lake water is terrifyingly still, and definitely not simple. Young people, make me teach you how to carefully sail a ship for ten thousand years, you can't be too hasty when doing things, just blindly move forward."
Hearing Taoist Tian Wu's words, Xiao Fan and Spirit City both shook their heads and laughed.
These simple truths still needed to be taught by this shameless ox nose.
Both of them had come out of the years of bloodshed and had gone through countless dangers and life and death situations. They were no longer hot-blooded, impulsive youths who had just come out to roam the Jianghu.
What's more, the lake surface was terrifyingly still, so the two of them had already discovered that something was amiss.
This lake was extremely large and peaceful. There was not even the slightest fluctuation in the water, and not even a single leaf could be seen on the lake's surface. This was an extremely unusual problem.
If not for this, they would not have provoked the old Daoist intentionally, and would not have let him go down first to try his luck.
After all, this damnable old Daoist shamelessly wanted to be their big brother. If this old Daoist Ox-nose didn't have any abilities and didn't contribute to them, then what right did they have to let this damnable Daoist be their big brother?
After the old Daoist said this, he picked up a few dead leaves and a dead branch from under a large tree.
The Ox-nose Elder looked at Xiao Fan and Spirit City complacently, but when he saw the snickering expressions on the two's faces, the complacent expressions instantly disappeared, to be replaced with dissatisfaction.
He turned around and walked to the lakeside. Using his own method, he wanted to teach the two lads behind him how to do things. He couldn't let the two lads behind him think that he was a coward just because he didn't dare to go into the lake.
The Taoist Tian Wu first scattered the few leaves in his hand into the lake. Suddenly, even though the leaves were light as a feather, they fell into the lake as if they weighed millions of kilograms.
Immediately after, the dried leaves emitted sizzling sounds as they were corroded by the lake water, completely disappearing without a trace.
Upon seeing this, their expressions froze.
Soon after, Taoist Tian Wu threw the dried branch into the lake. The same phenomenon happened again, and the dried branch fell even faster into the water. The entire dried branch instantly corroded and disintegrated into nothingness.
"Did you see that? Did you see how dangerous this lake is? If it wasn't for the fact that the old Daoist was smart enough to carelessly enter this lake, it would have been disastrous." Taoist Tian Wu acted like an elder as he taught a lesson to the two of them.
Xiao Fan and Spirit City did not agree with the Taoist Tian Wu's words.
This lake was indeed very strange. It was because of this that they had incited Taoist Tian Wu to go down and try his luck.
Fortunately, it was just as Taoist Tian Wu had said himself. The Taoist Tian Wu didn't go into the lake personally to test his luck, but instead used the dried up branches and leaves to conduct an experiment.
For something as light as this withering leaf, the speed of its descent should have been extremely slow.
But when Taoist Tian Wu sprinkled the fallen leaves onto the lake surface, they weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, and fell into the lake in an instant.
It could only mean that the lake was extremely attractive and that nothing heavy could fly or float on the surface of the lake.
More importantly, the fallen leaves and branches that fell into the river were instantly swallowed and melted by the lake water.
This was the terrifying part of the lake. The lake water had a very strong corrosive property.
It was just a simple test, but it had already revealed the dangers of this lake.
However, in order to further confirm their conclusion, the three of them threw a large tree into the lake. The entire tree was instantly rotted away and was cleanly devoured by the lake water.
With such a dangerous lake in front of them, the three of them were extremely vexed. They didn't know how to get past this lake.
On the other side of the lake, they were heading in a certain direction, causing the three of them to feel extremely frantic.
"How is it?! Now you two brats are convinced, quickly recognize me as your big brother. " In the midst of his anxiety, Master Heaven's Enlightenment said to Xiao Fan and Spirit City with a tinge of pride.
Although they had yet to think of a way to cross the lake, he had used his intelligence to prove the dangers of the lake, allowing them to avoid a disaster.
He helped Xiao Fan and Luo Hua City Mistress out of the danger of the lake, and according to the agreement, the two of them should have recognized him as their big brother.
"What's so special about that? Everyone would be able to tell that there's something wrong with this lake. Do you think that the two of us can't tell?" Xiao Fan said with a disdainful expression on his face: "If you can think of a way to let us pass through this lake, perhaps you can consider it for a while."
"Humph!" How did you two figure it out? It can't be that the two of you want to go back on your words and don't want to admit what you just said? " Taoist Tian Wu said in displeasure, "This old Taoist has roamed the martial arts world for dozens of years, what I have seen and heard, are what you two yellow brats can compare with!"
At this moment, Taoist Tian Wu was extremely unhappy.
Just now, Xiao Fan and Spirit City had even said that as long as he dared to test the dangers of the lake, they would recognize him as their big brother.
Now that he had already tested it out, Xiao Fan actually went back on his words and said that they had already seen through this lake. They did not even need to test it to know that it was extremely dangerous.
"Even with you acting like this, you still have been unhindered in the martial arts world for dozens of years. That's already quite impressive." Spirit City was very displeased as they said, "Speaking of age, I am already over 200 years old. How could I be comparable to an ox like you? To be able to compare with me in terms of age, you are truly too weak."
Take Xiao Fan for example, he started to be hunted when he was eleven years old, and has already been through ten or so years of killing. Do you think that our experience will be any worse than yours?
"What?" This is unbelievable, you two are really capable, this old Taoist is convinced! " Taoist Tian Wu's face was filled with surprise, after that he had an expression of doubt, and said to Spirit City: "You said you are already 200 years old, why is your realm not higher than mine?"
He didn't know about the two brats in front of him, but once he got to know them, he was really shocked.
Xiao Fan had been hunted since he was 11, and he was now a 256-year-old man.
To be able to cultivate to his current level, Xiao Fan was definitely not someone an ordinary person could compare to. He was even more so not the hot-blooded youth that he thought was just walking out of the martial arts world.
Looking at Spirit City again, this kid looked to be in his twenties, much younger than him, but already over two hundred years old.
There was a person who was younger than him by over two hundred years, but his cultivation level was lower than his. Thus, he absolutely could not believe the words of the Spirit City.
"Because of some special reasons, I suppressed myself within the Star Wheel realm for more than two hundred years. In other words, it took me nearly ten years to reach this level." Ling City found it hard to reply.
He was indeed more than two hundred years old now, and in the past two hundred years, he had spent almost all of his time in the Immortal Forbidden World.
In that world, the environment inside had suppressed him, and he could not continue to grow indefinitely.
If it wasn't for Xiao Fan bringing him out of Immortal Forbidden World, he probably would have been stuck at the Star Wheel realm for the rest of his life.
If it weren't for the limitations of that world, with his talent, even if he hadn't reached Immortal Ascension, he would still be an ancient character in the Half Immortal Stage.
"You two are really strange people. However, if you want to have reputation, I have already done it. You still can't go back on your word!" The Taoist Tian Wu said to the two of them in anticipation.
"Your words are laughable. Using such a simple method, you want us to recognize you as our big brother? You must be thinking too much!" Xiao Fan said: "Besides, it's not like you don't know the strength of the two of us. Who wants to be our big brother without absolute strength?
"Like I said, as long as you can think of a way to let us pass through this lake, there might be some considerations." Spirit City echoed.
Wanting to be their big brother wasn't that simple.
The Ox-nose Taoist Tian Wu actually wanted to take the two of them as his lackeys just based on that small experiment just now. He couldn't help but treat the two of them like nothing.
Witnessing the unyielding attitude of the two, Taoist Tian Wu was troubled.
It was extremely difficult to take these two lads in as subordinates.
Not only were these two very powerful, they were also very quick-witted. They were not idiots who had just come out of the Jianghu [1]; they would not fall for his trap easily.
However, the condition that Xiao Fan and Spirit City gave him had made it difficult for him.
For him to find a way to cross the lake was more difficult than ascending to heaven.
The lake in front of them was extremely dangerous and was impossible to traverse. This placed the three of them in a difficult situation.
This lake could neither fly nor walk on it. This was enough to put an end to their thoughts of crossing this lake.
With regards to the current situation, they could only wait for an opportunity. Perhaps a special situation would appear on this lake and the situation would improve.
There was no way in and out, and they couldn't retreat either. The three of them stopped by the lake.
This stop lasted for a month. During this month, the three of them searched everywhere for other ways to cross the river, but they didn't find anything.
However, in this one month's time, the three of them had reaped some rewards.
At the very least, in this one month's time, they had absorbed and converted the immortal energy within their bodies and had also absorbed a new batch of immortal energy, causing their strength to increase tremendously.
The Ox-nose Taoist Tian Wu was the highest realm. Even though it had already been a month in this environment filled with immortal qi, it still remained in its original realm. Breaking through to the next realm was extremely difficult.
Spirit City also used this month of cultivation time to break through into the fourth stage of the Sendai.
As for Xiao Fan, his Battlefield of Gods's Celestial Earth Domain had once again received a huge purification and had already grown to fifteen percent.
The strength of the Divine Generals that came out of the illusions had also received a huge increase, reaching the strength of the fifth stage of the Sendai, nearing the strength of the sixth stage of the Sendai.
Previously, he could only summon over a hundred Divine Weapons at once, but now, he could summon over a thousand at once.
His own realm might have been raised to Sendai, the peak of the second grade was only missing a burst point and an opportunity, and he would be able to enter the next realm, the third level of the Sendai.
One month passed. Aside from the three of them, more people entered the celestial tomb and came.
Those who had just arrived at this place were so excited that they lost their minds and didn't notice the lake's special characteristics. They hastily tried to cross the lake but were swallowed up by the lake without leaving a trace.
Witnessing the terrifying nature of the lake, no one dared to rashly cross it. They could only wait anxiously by the lake, waiting for an opportunity.
As time passed, more and more people rushed in, and naturally, some people who knew Xiao Fan appeared.
Some people did not mind the excitement and announced Xiao Fan's identity publicly, telling them about how he killed the Winged Green Serpent Clan and his disciples. This caused a huge commotion among the people around them.
Not only was the onlookers shocked, even the Taoist Tian Wu was shocked.
He never thought that Xiao Fan would actually have the guts to kill the people of the Winged Green Serpent Clan and Tai Yi Immortal School, and that they were all experts of the third stage of the Sendai.
Taoist Tian Wu did not leave Xiao Fan and Spirit City because of this matter, their relationship was still the same as ever, but to say that as long as Xiao Fan and Spirit City allowed him to be a big brother, he would settle all of these matters for Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan rejected Taoist Tian Wu's good intentions directly. He did not know about Taoist Tian Wu, nor did he know his background.
Regardless of whether the Taoist Tian Wu had the ability to help him settle the matters between the two great powers, he was unwilling to drag the Taoist Tian Wu down with him.
When the news spread out, the people from the two big powers who had already entered the Immortal Graveyard, would naturally not let Xiao Fan go.
"Kid, you have nowhere to run today. Just leave your life here." A young clansman from the Winged Green Serpent Clan said to Xiao Fan, her face filled with anger.
"No, no, no! This brat should be dealt with by our Tai Yi Immortal School. "
"That's right, throw him into the lake and let the water slowly corrode his body. He will die a painful death and not even his bones will remain!"
The people of Winged Green Serpent Clan and Tai Yi Immortal School surrounded him, and all the spectators retreated. At this time, a good show was about to take place.
