Chapter 312 - Converging from All Directions
Three high-level Core Formation realm powerhouses had arrived in just a few moments. Their auras left Chen Fan struggling for breath.
Any of these three could easily kill him.
However, it was obvious that they were not the only ones attracted to this place.
Sure enough, a golden ring of light pierced through the clouds in the southeast, disrupting the airflow. It resembled a massive ball of flames hurtling in this direction, accompanied by the ominous sounds of thunder crackling.
To the south, rain fell desolately. Amidst the rain curtain, a gorgeous woman moved gracefully on the water, holding an umbrella. She moved quickly, but it created the illusion of a stroll.
To the west, an elder arrogantly traversed on a channel of light, moving slightly slower than the previous two.

The first to arrive was the absolute beauty with an umbrella. Her hair was long and smooth, like a waterfall, and her figure was alluring. She wore a captivating long blue dress that resembled flowing waves, untainted by the dirt.
The absolute beauty put away her umbrella and smiled lightly. “You three arrived so quickly.”
Xue Wuren said, “Clear Water Palace, huh? Your Divine Water Scripture is truly worthy of its reputation. Witnessing it today was extraordinary."
Long Yunyu said jokingly, “No matter how powerful the Divine Water Scripture is, it can’t rival Brother Xue, splitting the ocean in one blade, slaughtering a hundred heavy mountains?” (Slaughtering makes no sense here but will be relevant further down.)
“Haha, I, Tu Zhongshan, am here!”
The golden ring of light tore through the air, showing no signs of slowing down, rushing toward Xue Wuren.
Suddenly, a scorching, domineering aura permeated the entire Stormy Plains. It was like a huge star had perished and descended into the mortal world.
“You brute, how dare you!” Xue Wuren’s brows twitched, and blade light burst out from his eyes, breaking through space. He swung his arm, and a terrifying blade qi shot out, tearing everything apart.
“Haha, break!” Tu Zhongshan laughed loudly. His terrifying cultivation fluctuated as he rubbed his hands together. His arms burst into blazing flames, like a god of fire, and he punched.
Rumble!
The Stormy Plains seemed to tremble as shockwaves from their exchange plowed through the ground, forming deep gullies. Numerous streaks of qi rampaged through the air.
Poof tch!
The shockwaves hit Chen Fan, sending him flying like a burlap sack. He spewed a big mouthful of blood in the air.
“Shit!” Chen Fan’s gaze darkened.
The appearance of the Nebulous Mysterious Realm brought about changes in the force field, gradually restoring a sense of calmness and stopping the Cataclysmic Dragon Gale from wreaking havoc.
Two to three thousand people gathered near the light pillar in just five days, and more arrived intermittently. The clamoring shook the sky.
There were young martial artists and also many older martial artists. Everyone looked in the direction of the pillar of light with burning gazes.
Some had succumbed to their greed and approached the pillar of light, only to be instantly annihilated by an unseen force. The force didn’t spare even Core Formation realm experts. This sobered everyone, forcing them to await the day the mysterious realm would open patiently.
“With so many people here, if everyone gains entry, then...” A trace of worry flashed across Chen Fan’s eyes.
Too many people had come, and these people’s cultivation levels varied greatly.
If everyone could enter, he would likely get nothing. There were quite a few Core Formation realm experts gathered here. How could someone in the Yuanfu realm compete with them?
Chen Fan felt helpless.
After getting the treasure map, he had thought he could get some treasure discreetly. Yet, he had ended up causing such a huge commotion.
Chen Fan sighed and shut his eyes. He calmed his mind and focused on raising his strength.
During this recent period, his cultivation had improved rapidly. He was now at the seventh level but could fight against those at the ninth level and easily escape from them if necessary. Unfortunately, his Myriad Elephants Divine Art and the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art had fallen behind.
Inside him, his original primeval vessel projected an illusory shadow. Chen Fan was currently trying his best to pull out this shadow.
His physique could withstand the powers of seven illusory primeval vessels. He planned to cultivate seven illusory primeval vessels before the mysterious realm opened.
That would give him the confidence to go toe to toe with someone at the ninth level.
As time passed, more people gathered, creating a noisy scene with various cultivation techniques on display. Occasional sounds of intense battles added to the chaos.
Four more days went by in a flash.
“Phew.” Chen Fan opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath. His aura surged within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Over these days, he successfully cultivated two more illusory primeval vessels. Now, with seven cultivated, his strength had soared.
“The mysterious realm will open tomorrow...”
A sharp light flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes.
1. Tu Zhongshan’s name literally means to slaughter mountains. “Tu” means “to slaughter,” and “Zhongshan” means “heavy mountain.” ☜
