Everyone, quiet down for this old man! The Great Clan Elder really had a lot of prestige. With a loud shout, he suppressed everyone's discussion.

This marriage is still in the process of being planned, and it will all depend on Qing Xuan Sect's performance.

Hua Ding Sect with over ten thousand disciples held a large amount of weight in the entire Southern Domain. Once a chaos broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In addition, this matter is of great importance and there are many things that I should not reveal to you.

As expected of the Great Elder, he was extremely shrewd. He was able to deal with these people in a few sentences and also beat them up. The temptation of becoming a direct disciple was truly too great.

Sixth Elder, the ancestors have already passed away many years ago. Aren't you making things difficult for me by saying this?

Nangong Yi's expression didn't look too good. As a Sect Leader of the Hua Ding Sect, their might had always been the same, but because of the three twists and turns in their marriage, especially today's changes.

Senior brother Sect Leader, don't blame this old man, that Ranking Stone is even older than you and me, the ancestors all left their marks on it.

The Sixth Elder pointed to the huge boulder in the middle of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds with a look of reverence on his face as he spoke.

As long as Chen Fan can trigger the ancestor's imprint within the Ranking Stone, not only will this old man acknowledge the marriage, in the future, if anyone dares to say a word no, they will be the real bastard!

The Sixth Elder was a straightforward person. Black was black, white was white. He had decided that a marriage was not in accordance with the rules, so he had to publicly protest.

and even made such an extreme suggestion. In the past thousand years, the Ranking Stone had only been activated four or five times, by all the strong profound practitioners.

However, there was no doubt that the Ranking Stone did indeed contain the mark of the Martial Ancestor, and it had not rotted away even after ten thousand years. If by some coincidence, it really could be activated.

Wu, Sixth Elder is right. Since we do not have the qualifications to make such a decision, let the Patriarch decide.

With that said, all the disciples nodded their heads in acknowledgement, if the Ranking Stone was on the side of Chen Fan and the rest, then they would have nothing to say.

This stone has nothing to do with our Qing Xuan Sect, Chen Fan has never even heard of it before, how can it be considered as the evaluation standard?!

Zhao Xu could not help but retort, while Qin Sheng was at the side. He was angered, and smashed the ground beneath his feet with his fist.

Protector Qin, what are you doing, you are deliberately causing trouble for my Hua Ding Sect, you have to pay a price for this! Another elder reprimanded.

Let the Sect Leader decide. Seeing that a conflict was unavoidable, the Great Elder sighed and tried to smooth things over.

Chen Fan, the Ranking Stone is something that my Hua Ding Sect's ancestor left behind. Although it represents the highest will, you are not a disciple of the sect, so you don't need to actually activate the imprint.

As a Sect Leader, Nangong Yi was a head taller than a few elders. There was no need to call him a reverend, and even a fool would be able to see how overbearing Chen Fan's position was.

I'll try and see, maybe your ancestor will agree.

Chen Fan who had been silent the entire time nodded his head, and walked towards the huge boulder with a disapproving expression.

He could see very clearly that there was definitely someone behind the scenes. Moreover, it was at least an elder-level expert who was unwittingly adding fuel to the fire, encouraging the disciples who did not understand what was going on to make a ruckus.

However, he didn't expect that after Xia Yan's group suffered defeat all over the place, the Ranking Stone would be their final trump card.

Alien Minister Chen, can you do it? With that asked, Zhao Xu no longer held any hope.

It's okay, his performance is already outstanding enough, but he's adding honor to my Qing Xuan Sect.

Qin Sheng tried to think of a way to report the situation to Lan Yu. The outcome of today's trial was far beyond expectations, and had greatly increased the spirit of his Qing Xuan Sect.

No one, including the two of them, believed Chen Fan. They only thought that he was infuriated, and had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Facing the mocking and scornful gaze, Chen Fan reached out his hand and touched the rock, but did not use any Spiritual Energy s, and just fumbled around.

Haha, this fool, it seems like he has never heard of the Imprint of Tranquility Stone before. He doesn't even know how to activate the imprint.

An ear-piercing sneer sounded out, and the source of the sneer was Lu Ping, who had been defeated by Chen Fan.

Even though the Ranking Stone contained the imprint of the ancestor, it was usually hidden inside the stone, and had to be activated by a Spiritual Energy to be able to lure it out.

Chen Fan, I will rest for a while with Qin Sheng first, but we have something to discuss with you later.

No one was surprised, Nangong Yi was the first to persuade them.

However, at this time, a strange scene occurred. The Stable Stone that was still standing up suddenly emitted bursts of white light. It was extremely blazing, as if it was the sun itself. It was so bright that one couldn't even open their eyes.

[What the hell is going on?]

Could it be that the ancestor's imprint had really materialized? This is impossible, without my Hua Ding Sect as a guide, it is impossible.

The entire audience was instantly petrified. No one expected Chen Fan to succeed, and with such a vulgar method, he basically did not use the Spiritual Energy.

Even the few elders were stunned. This kind of strange phenomenon had actually surpassed their common sense, and had never happened before.

In a moment, all the light beams rushed into Chen Fan's body and the Storing Stone returned to its previous calm state. There was no change to him at all, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

However, no one could fake the pressure that was unique to the ancestor. Furthermore, the tens of thousands of disciples could clearly see it. There was indeed a divine light that appeared, and it quickly calmed down.

Astonishment, surprise, surprise, all sorts of thoughts lingered in his mind as he wrote them down on the small faces. Countless gazes gathered at Chen Fan's side, along with the plain and unadorned Ranking Stone.

Now, what more do you want to say? Chen Fan asked calmly. Ever since he had stepped onto the training grounds, he had predicted that something like this would happen.

Cough *, cough, Sixth Elder, this matter shall end here. From now on, our sect does not wish for any other similar incidents to occur. Nangong Yi's words reminded the surrounding elders, so they shouldn't do anything behind his back.

Did you hear that,? Chen Fan is my respected guest of Hua Ding Sect, and he even obtained the approval of my ancestor.

The Sixth Elder's attitude changed very quickly, but it was still consistent with his personality.

After the incident, Chen Fan rejected Nangong Yi's invitation and returned to his residence. There were some issues that he needed more time to settle, and they were even more important than a marriage alliance.

Alien Minister Chen, what a god! Heh, to think that the Ranking Stone of Hua Ding Sect would actually be that obedient.

Zhao Xu shouted excitedly, he urgently wanted to know the reason.

Xu'er, don't disturb the Alien Minister Chen for now, let's let him rest first. After fighting for such a long time, he must be exhausted.

Qin Sheng could tell that Chen Fan was a little absent-minded, and immediately led Zhao Xu away, taking the initiative to leave the room. Those that should not be asked naturally could not be asked, but were instead a kind of burden.

After sitting down, for the first time since Chen Fan had recovered, his heart was in turmoil. There was a distinct difference in expression in his eyes.

Weng! *

The Dao Burning Furnace floated in the air and after it was activated once again, there were obvious changes to it. The purple light was mixed with some golden lines and looked even more mysterious.

Little Cao, what secrets are you hiding here?

Looking at the abnormal phenomenon that appeared on the Dao Burning Furnace in front of him, Chen Fan sank into deep thought.

It was only a short while ago that he realized that the name of this Hua Ding Sect had actually been changed.

He had long since said that this Sect of Dragon and Fire had an impressive background, and had a lot to do with Chen Fan's third disciple.

The reason why Qing Xuan Sect had originally chosen to marry someone with the power of the Hua Ding Sect was because of that founder of the sect.

After Cao Rui established his Qing Xuan Sect, he once visited various places in the Southern Region and unintentionally bumped into a peerless beauty called 'old lady'. She was precisely the Heaven's Pride Girl from the Hua Ding Sect.

And due to the influence of Cao Rui, his Qing Xuan Sect had helped him quite a bit, even the former himself had left behind many methods for them to guard against potential emergencies.

Cao Rui had intentionally set up a backup trick within that huge boulder on the martial ground. Over the past thousand years, he had shown off his might many times, and he had even rescued the entire sect from being exterminated, becoming a miracle due to the Hua Ding Sect.

He really did not expect Little Cao to be such a romantic person. His cultivation was not very good, and he was spreading his branches and leaves everywhere.

Thinking back to ten thousand years ago, Chen Fan also sighed deeply. He had taught Cao Rui the least, but he had unintentionally met with his legacy one after another.

If Nangong Yi or Lan Yu were to hear these words, he would probably fight to the death with Chen Fan …

However, Chen Fan was puzzled to find that there was still another source of energy inside the Ranking Stone that was related to the Dao Burning Furnace. After entering his body, it did not stay for long before returning to the furnace.

Even now, when the Dao Burning Furnace that had been sealed for a long time had been activated, Chen Fan still did not feel the slightest bit of change.

He couldn't just replace him on the martial arts practice field like that, right? Chen Fan guessed, he never would have thought that there would be a day where he would spend so much effort to figure out Little Cao's intentions.

He tried his best to recall every single detail. During his conversation with Little Cao before he escaped into the earth, he didn't notice the figure of an old man that appeared in the air above the Dao Burning Furnace.

He had white hair and a white beard, and was wearing a simple white robe. He looked quite old, but his appearance was that of a soul. Clearly, he wasn't a corporeal body.

Who are you? Chen Fan secretly raised his guard, he had no impression of this old fellow at all.
