Ancient Ancestral Gods

1"You brat, your life is quite tough. You were ambushed and thrown into the magma lake, yet you are still able to return alive." Daoist Tianji looked at Xiao Fan with an approving expression.    

    

Around him, the other people from the Heavenly Dao Academy were all sighing in admiration.    

    

Back then, when the punishment had suddenly erupted, the power had been terrifyingly powerful.    

    

Anyone of the same level would not be able to withstand the attack of a Half Immortal, and people below that level would be killed.    

    

Xiao Fan had not reached the half-immortal realm, not even the peak of the ninth stage of Sendai.    

    

But Xiao Fan had survived from the harsh punishment, and did not die.    

    

That time, other than the time when Yan Xing launched a sneak attack, the most important thing was that the heavily injured and powerless Xiao Fan fell into the lava lake.    

    

Xiao Fan fell inside, Yan Xing and the rest waited for two hours, but Xiao Fan still did not come out.    

    

Even after several hours, when they had reached the last step of the first Heaven Stairway, Xiao Fan still had not come out.    

    

Everyone agreed that Xiao Fan had died a long time ago and had become a part of the lava lake.    

    

However, what was even more shocking was that Xiao Fan had undergone a huge change.    

    

The severe punishment's sneak attack seemed to have caused an earth-shattering change for Xiao Fan.    

    

Amongst this group of Heavenly Dao Academy disciples, other than the Taoist Tian Wu whose cultivation was low, the rest had already entered the comprehension stage of the Half Immortal Domain. Daoist Tianji was only one small step away from entering the Half Immortal Domain.    

    

Facing the current Xiao Fan, Daoist Tianji felt an enormous pressure, as if he was unable to resist Xiao Fan.    

    

"Right, I also feel that you've changed, causing me, this big brother, to feel ashamed!" Taoist Tian Wu also sighed deeply at the side. After a period of time had passed, Xiao Fan had truly changed and become even more powerful.    

    

"That old thing, if I see him again, I must wring his head off." When it came to severe punishment, he was filled with anger.    

    

Now that his strength had greatly increased, he definitely had enough strength to resist the severe punishment.    

    

As long as he entered another realm, it would be easy for him to kill a half-Immortal like Yan Xing, whose vital energy and blood were all depleted.    

    

Don't be so arrogant. After all, Yan Xing is a Half Immortal.    

    

"That's right, last time I tortured you to death, he probably couldn't even kill you if he didn't become an Immortal. Since that's the case, you only need to focus on cultivation and your strength will increase by another level. Once you have enough confidence, you can go kill him!"    

    

"He doesn't have much time left, even if we have to wait a bit longer, we can still kill him!"    

    

After hearing Xiao Fan's arrogant words, the people of the Heavenly Dao Academy were all trying to dissuade Xiao Fan, preventing him from acting blindly and impulsively.    

    

Right now, the most important thing for them was to raise their strength. They believed that it wouldn't be long before Xiao Fan had the absolute strength to face the punishment, or even to kill him.    

    

Endure for a while, in exchange for a greater victory.    

    

"What's the use of waiting for him to die? I want to kill him fair and square, and the entire Winged Green Serpent Clan to be wiped out from the universe! " Xiao Fan said: "Let's not talk about this for now, who will introduce me to the situation here!"    

    

Xiao Fan changed the topic and avoided the topic between him and the Winged Green Serpent Clan, asking them about other things.    

    

The overall environment of the Fourth Heaven Stairway was much better than the previous ones. There was more immortal qi in the Heaven Stairway, but it was much more dangerous.    

    

Up until now, after two to three months had passed, other than those half-Immortals, no one else under the Half Immortal Stage had been able to successfully climb the Heaven Stairway.    

    

The situation with the fourth Heaven Stairway was very strange. The first three Heaven Stairway only had powerful attacks, but the fourth Heaven Stairway had even more powerful attacks.    

    

The most important thing was that every person who failed to climb the Heaven Stairway would die from their energy and blood drying up in the end.    

    

This was because they discovered that there were a lot of people who had just ascended the Heaven Stairway, and were still being struck by the heavenly lightning.    

    

Even if the heavenly thunder didn't hit him, his energy and blood would eventually dry up and he would die.    

    

No one could figure out what was happening.    

    

However, Taoist Tian Wu was able to explain one or two things.    

    

After all, Daoist Xuan Qing had been here before, so he understood the situation here.    

    

According to the Daoist Xuan Qing, the fourth Heaven Stairway was the most important one.    

    

As long as he could pass the fourth Heaven Stairway and enter the fifth Heaven Stairway, he would have a 99% chance of becoming a Half Immortal.    

    

This was because those who followed Daoist Xuan Qing into the Fifth Heaven Stairway all became Half Immortals.    

    

As for the reason why he was the only one who survived and left the Road to Immortality in Refinement in the end, it was because he was the only one who did not attempt to rush to the last two Heaven Stairway.    

    

And the most dangerous thing about the fourth Heaven Stairway was that it seemed to have the ability to devour one's own energy and blood.    

    

As for the lightning on the Heaven Stairway, it was not scary at all. As long as one was strong enough, they could withstand it.    

    

The most important thing was that it could not let the Heaven Stairway absorb all the energy in his body. Even after absorbing all the energy, he could still cultivate.    

    

But if one's blood was sucked dry, that was equal to one's life being sucked dry. There was no doubt that one would die.    

    

Although the fourth Heaven Stairway was very scary, there was a relatively weak period of time. As long as they could reach the Heaven Stairway during that period of weakness, they would have a chance to avoid being devoured by the Heaven Stairway.    

    

At that time, the person who wanted to climb the Heaven Stairway would need to be strong enough to withstand the thunder attack.    

    

Because in the instant that the lightning struck down, that small piece of Heaven Stairway that had been struck by the lightning temporarily lost its ability to devour.    

    

The person who ascended the Heaven Stairway must be synchronized with the lightning that descended, which also meant that the person who ascended the Heaven Stairway would have to bear the lightning attack non-stop. If the person was not strong enough, there was only death.    

    

Even if they could escape the devouring power of the Heaven Stairway, they would eventually be struck to death by the lightning due to their insufficient strength.    

    

Xiao Fan was terrified just by hearing it. The fourth Heaven Stairway was exceptionally dangerous.    

    

However, it was not far from that period of weakness. He still needed about three months.    

    

Therefore, these three months were the most crucial period for them to raise their strength. If they missed this period of time, they would have to wait for seven to eight years or even longer.    

    

The Road to Immortality in Refinement will only be open for three to five years before it closes. Those who don't leave the Road to Immortality in Refinement will only be able to die inside.    

    

If he missed this chance, he could only wait for the next time the Road to Immortality in Refinement opened.    

    

Those who could not come out would only die in the Road to Immortality in Refinement. This conclusion was unanimously accepted by the outside world.    

    

In all these years, there had never been a single person who returned after the Road to Immortality in Refinement closed up.    

    

But Xiao Fan did not agree with this conclusion. Those who did not leave may have become the nourishment of the Temple Rankers and were killed.    

    

Because of Li Mu's previous instructions, the Sacred Hall didn't need to follow the Road to Immortality in Refinement's opening time to be able to enter, it could enter at any time.    

    

Those who were believed by the outside world to have not come out yet died on the trial path were most likely killed by the powerhouses from the Temple, and thus absorbed their essence energy and luck.    

    

After all, from the surface information that Xiao Fan knew, the Sacred Hall had gathered energy and luck. It had already been in the Immortals for three hundred thousand years, just for the sake of becoming an immortal.    

    

At the same time, in the Sacred Hall's camp, Lin Yue's face was ice-cold and silent.    

    

Because Zhao Shu had brought them bad news.    

    

Originally, when they saw Xiao Fan's appearance, they were both shocked and pleasantly surprised.    

    

For everyone, it was extremely shocking that Xiao Fan was not killed.    

    

Xiao Fan did not die, that was a pleasant surprise for them, as long as Xiao Fan did not die, they would still have the chance to snatch the buddhist staff from Xiao Fan's body, and complete the elder's mission.    

    

However, the news that Zhao Shu had brought them was extremely bad.    

    

Because in the world of the third floor, Xiao Fan set up a trap to lure the people from the Senior apprentice brother Mo in order to steal their staff, and in the end, killed Senior apprentice brother Mo and the others.    

    

Senior apprentice brother Mo's strength was close to that of a half-immortal. His Heavenly Sacred Art was very profound, he was able to condense Radiant Saint Armor.    

    

However, the Senior apprentice brother Mo ultimately self-destructed and did not kill Xiao Fan.    

    

Xiao Fan was not killed, but his strength was becoming more and more terrifying.    

    

When Lin Yue and the others heard Zhao Shu's report, the people from the Sacred Hall all came to a conclusion.    

    

The current Xiao Fan was not someone any of them could challenge on their own.    

    

If they wanted to snatch back the staff from Xiao Fan, it would be even more difficult.    

    

"How about this, the period of weakness is about to come. When we are climbing the Sky Stairway, we will use the reason of him blocking the way!"    

    

"After all, the fourth Heaven Stairway is different from the first one. Up till now, the death rate under the Half Immortal Stage is 100%. If we take action now, we won't leave any evidence that would be difficult for outsiders!"    

    

Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a cold glint, her entire body was filled with killing intent, as she said.
