Chapter 1304: Not that special
Chapter 1304: Not that special
“There’s one more place that I want to check out.” Lin Fan said all of a sudden, catching the outer sect disciples off guard.
But even though they were caught off guard, they didn’t hesitate to agree with Lin Fan’s suggestion.
After all, he had already proven his skills and that he was more than capable of leading them. At the same time, he had shown his abilities in finding treasures just based on this stack that was in front of them.
That was why they were even a bit excited to hear that there was a place that Lin Fan wanted to go.
A place that would catch Lin Fan’s attention no doubt had something quite special.
Lin Fan didn’t explain what he was looking for since he didn’t think that they would even understand if he told them. But at the same time, he didn’t want to tell them since it wasn’t something that he wanted them to know about.
Following Lin Fan, they soon arrived in a place where they immediately raised their guards.
After all, all of the outer sect disciples could sense the increase in spiritual energy in the surrounding area. They knew that there had to be something that was causing this and it should be the thing that Lin Fan was here to find.
“Alright stop here and guard the area.” Lin Fan said all of a sudden while raising his hand to stop the outer sect disciples.
They were caught off guard when they heard this, but then they looked like they wanted to go against this.
They knew that Lin Fan was keeping them here because he didn’t think that they would be able to help him. They didn’t deny that this might indeed be the case since they were weaker than him.
But even then, they still wanted to go with him.
Part of it was to demonstrate their usefulness and their loyalty, but the other part was that they had come this far together and it didn’t seem right to abandon him now.
Lin Fan could easily see what they were thinking which brought a smile to his face, but he still said, “It’ll be faster if I do this alone.”
In the end, there was nothing that they could say since there was nothing that they could use to refute this.
The outer sect disciples had no choice but to accept what Lin Fan said and leave things to him.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything else to them as he headed into the place where the spiritual energy was coming from.
There was a clear flow to the spiritual energy that was in the air, so he knew that there was a source to all of this.
Though when he arrived, it wasn’t what he had expected to see.
“Why hasn’t this place been excavated before?”
The place that was in front of him seemed to be some kind of grave, but it was also a place that didn’t seem like it had been touched previously. It was as if there was no one that had discovered this place before with how untouched it was.
But Lin Fan didn’t believe that this was possible.
After all, there was no doubt that this place had been explored by the sects that controlled this place. He had seen all the signs of harvesting that were all around this place.
So he knew that they had already harvested this secret realm many times before.
Since they had been here many times before, it was only natural that they would have stumbled on this place eventually. With the concentration of spiritual energy that was here, it would have been impossible to miss.
For this place to be completely untouched, the only explanation was that this place was ignored by everyone.
Whether that was because they were trying to preserve it or they just ignored it because this place wasn’t worth their attention, Lin Fan had no idea.
But since he was here, he might as well take a look at it.
Only instead of going in and investigating, he was able to do something that no one else would have been able to do.
Standing at the entrance of the grave, Lin Fan just narrowed his eyes to look into the grave. It didn’t seem like he was looking at anything in particular, it was as if he was looking at the grave in general.
But because of this, there was something that appeared like he had been hoping for.
When it appeared, Lin Fan knew what this place was.
“So it is the grave and inheritance of another cultivator.”
From the information that the Appraisal Eyes gave him, Lin Fan learned that this place was where the inheritance of a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator was buried. That was where all of this spiritual energy was coming from.
It was just that a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator…
This was something that would have seemed like it was far above him previously, but it wasn’t the same case now. Now that Lin Fan had become one of the core disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, even having two Soul Formation Realm Cultivators serving under him…
It almost seemed like Soul Formation Realm Cultivators seemed cheap.
So Lin Fan just couldn’t get excited when he saw that it was a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator’s inheritance.
“This place is also managed by the Heavenly Demon Sect…so it would be bad if I were to destroy this place.”
It was one thing if this was a place that was just managed by other sects or even the righteous sects, but it was a completely different matter if this place was also managed by the Heavenly Demon Sect.
If he were to do something and destroy this place, then it would also harm the interests of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
This place wasn’t much to the Five Great Sects since it was only the grave of Soul Formation Realm Cultivator, but it was a place that was great to train their disciples in.
Though in the case of the righteous sects this time…they had definitely suffered a loss.
If he were to destroy this realm now, it would be the final blow not just to the righteous sects. If he were to destroy this realm now, then it would mean that he would also be harming the benefits of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
So in the end, Lin Fan decided that he wouldn’t care about this place.
After all, it wasn’t considered anything special.
There was a part of Lin Fan that couldn’t help feeling strange because of this.
In the past, this place would have certainly been very helpful to him. But for the current him, it didn’t feel like this place was special at all.
For the current Lin Fan, this place felt like it was nothing more than another normal place.
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling that his world view was becoming bigger and bigger as more time passed in the Heavenly Demon Sect.
There was a part of him that also wondered what he would be like once he had built up his own faction in the Heavenly Demon Sect.
There was a reason why people built up factions in the Heavenly Demon Sect in the first place.
Building a faction brought in fame and power, but also resources.
Once he obtained all those resources, it would be hard to imagine that he would lose out to even the inheritance of a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator like this. He would most likely even surpass this inheritance by several times.
That was just how much power the Heavenly Demon Sect had.
“But it’s still a long way.” Lin Fan couldn’t help saying with a sigh as this thought passed through his mind.
After this thought, Lin Fan tossed this matter out of his mind and left this place.
Since he couldn’t do anything here, it was best to leave this place the way that it was when he found it. After all, there was no telling what the Five Great Sects or the other sects had set up in this place.
It was better that he didn’t mess with it.
When he came out though, the outer sect disciples couldn’t help looking surprised.
They thought that with the abundance of spiritual energy in this place, Lin Fan would be coming out with something special. So when they saw him coming out with nothing at all, they couldn’t help being confused.
“There’s nothing in there for us.”
That was all that Lin Fan said in the end.
The outer sect disciples seemed even more surprised when they heard this, but they didn’t question it in the end.
Since Lin Fan was even going this far to say this, they knew that there had to be something that they shouldn’t ask about.
In that case, they would trust him and just move on.
“What do we do now?” They were confused since they didn’t see what they wanted to see. At the same time, they had already done everything that they could have done in this secret realm.
It wasn’t as if they could rob this entire place after all.
Lin Fan said with a faint smile, “What else do you think we’re going to do? Naturally we’re going to leave this place. We’re done here, so there’s no need for us to stay here any longer.”
The outer sect disciples slowly nodded in agreement, but they couldn’t help feeling a bit empty as if there was something missing.
It was as if the ending that they expected didn’t come.
But Lin Fan couldn’t help it.
He really couldn’t do anything to this place.
