Chapter 298: Chapter 0295: Are We Good Brothers?

[Obtained personal item: Lace Pink Red Bellyband.]

[Obtained Great Divine Power: Ninefold Soaring Immortal Technique.]

[Obtained Spirit Root: Sixth Grade Metal Spirit Root.]

[Obtained Erectile Dysfunction Medicine: Invincible Golden Gun Great Tonic Pill.]

...

???

What the hell.

Lin Fan was deeply dissatisfied with this batch of items.

What kind of junk is this? Could you be a little more reliable? Sure, you might be a bit weak compared to me, but to others, you’d still be considered a big shot.

Bellyband?

Erectile dysfunction medicine?

Oh, my heavens.

What a ridiculous mess.

If it hadn’t dropped, I would never have believed that someone so healthy could secretly have these issues.

[Obtained Mana: 64,230 years.]

Right after that.

As soon as this dropped.

Lin Fan froze completely.

Holy crap!

Damn it...

"I’m sorry, I was wrong, so very wrong. A bellyband? That’s just to make oneself look better. And the Invincible Golden Gun Great Tonic Pill? Well, that’s for a harmonious nightlife."

"Truly wicked thoughts, Lin Fan, truly wicked thoughts."

To confess one’s mistakes and make amends is a noble act.

He truly realized his mistake this time.

At the same time, he understood one principle.

The fallen comrade who dropped the mana was facing his Three Calamities and Six Hardships. Unfortunately for him, his lethal trial arrived in the form of Lin Fan, and he couldn’t overcome it, so he perished here.

Lin Fan’s current mana had reached 148,798 years, a very intimidating level.

Among True Immortal experts, it was considered quite impressive.

"This trip was a guaranteed win, with an unexpected bonus to boot."

A brilliant smile blossomed on Lin Fan’s face. It wasn’t that he looked down on the enemy; the odds of mana dropping from weaker opponents were just absurdly low, terrifyingly low, almost frighteningly impossible.

"Lin Fan, you..."

Gong Mo noticed Lin Fan’s aura shift slightly, feeling a strange sensation – like suddenly witnessing an ugly man morph into a handsome one.

The feeling was exceedingly peculiar.

Lin Fan raised a hand and said, "Calm down."

"Lin Fan, do I look like someone who can calm down right now? I feel like something else is about to happen. You know I’ve come here to bring Ao Wudi back. If I return to the Sacred Land without him, how will I explain myself?" Gong Mo was utterly exasperated. He’d ventured out looking for Ao Wudi, but Lin Fan had gone on a spree, directly slaughtering the prodigy disciples of two major factions.

If this news spread...

Life would be anything but peaceful.

Terrifyingly tumultuous.

There was an enormous risk of being hunted down endlessly.

No chance to rise again.

"Brother Gong, don’t you think I treat you like a good brother?" Lin Fan firmly clutched Gong Mo’s shoulders, posing a very serious question. Gong Mo didn’t know how to answer in that moment.

But really, what was there to think about?

"Of course, you absolutely treat me as a good brother," Gong Mo replied resolutely.

"Good." Lin Fan nodded solemnly. "If that’s the case, let’s head into the Forbidden Land to find Ao Wudi. Alive, we must see him. Dead, we must see his corpse. Rest assured, I’ll help you find him."

Gong Mo was utterly overwhelmed.

"Lin Fan, didn’t you just say the Forbidden Land was extremely dangerous?"

Lin Fan replied calmly, "Dangerous, yes. But knowing Brother Gong can’t report back properly, how could I feel at ease? Naturally, I must help Brother Gong venture into the Forbidden Land and take a look."

At this mana level, even the True Immortal Realm no longer fazed him.

The reason for his earlier hesitation about entering the Forbidden Land was that his power wasn’t up to par. Avoidance was prudent. But now, with mana reaching such terrifying heights, there was no need for hesitation anymore.

"Let’s go. With me protecting you, don’t worry."

Lin Fan strode forward boldly, entering the Heaven’s Gorge and disregarding the pressure of the Forbidden Land.

He was immensely satisfied with his current mana.

It felt as though he could punch a bull to death with a single blow.

Gong Mo stared at the retreating figure and couldn’t help but feel moved. Yet, deep inside, he just wanted to tell Lin Fan not to risk himself. However, Lin Fan left no chance to say this.

Inside the Forbidden Land.

It was Gong Mo’s first time entering this place, and he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on his mind.

Upon reaching the inner regions, he fully realized something.

This place was absolutely not meant for ordinary mortals.

He noticed Lin Fan appearing calm and composed, navigating the terrain as if he knew exactly where to go.

No wonder he’d entered the Forbidden Land several times before.

"Where could Ao Wudi be?"

Lin Fan considered as he walked. Even he had no clue where Ao Wudi might have gone. The idea of a seven-colored mother dragon was pure fiction. No matter how much of the Forbidden Land he combed, he’d never find one.

It was nothing more than a false legend, an impossibility.

"Lin Fan, what exactly is this place? How was it formed? The Forbidden Land only appeared months ago, correct?" Gong Mo asked.

Lin Fan replied, "Yes, it’s only been a few months. I don’t know its origins either. But don’t wander off here. This place is truly dangerous. If we provoke something terrifying, we’ll have no choice but to leave the Forbidden Land."

Even with mana reaching nearly 150,000 years, Lin Fan remained cautious.

One mustn’t get too arrogant.

Or too reckless.

Otherwise, punishment awaited.

Soon.

An enormous ancient tree came into view, its branches stretching in all directions, its surface adorned with human facial features.

This was a sentient tree.

Lin Fan gazed at the towering ancient tree while the tree returned his gaze, they simply stared at each other silently.

"Greetings, fellow travelers. This place is perilous. Why have you come here? I urge you to heed my advice and leave quickly. It’s dangerous," the ancient tree spoke softly, its mouth barely moving.

Gong Mo stared in stunned silence.

To be honest.

He had seen plants gaining sentience before.

But never had he seen such a colossal and majestic tree turn sentient, not to mention with such terrifying energy.

Lin Fan smiled, "Thank you, Tree Friend, for the warning. However, we’re looking for someone. Might Tree Friend have seen a strong man pass by here, someone whose true form is a Heavenly Dragon?"

"Are you speaking of Ao Friend?" the tree asked.

"Yes, that’s right. Tree Friend, have you seen him? If so, please let us know which direction he went, if possible," Lin Fan asked. He examined the tree closely: a True Immortal Ancient Tree, dense with mana and over ten thousand years old. What did that imply?

This tree had cultivated entirely on its own.

Its tree rings were treasures.

Perfectly round, each tree ring was infused with heavenly energy, material for crafting Immortal Treasure. Even less-skilled artisans could craft top-grade Dao Artifacts from them.

In short, the tree was a walking treasure chest.

Upon being discovered by others, it would undoubtedly be uprooted without leaving a shred.

Lin Fan harbored no ill intentions towards the tree.

You don’t provoke me; I won’t bother you. You respect me, I respect you. That sums it up.

The tree said, "This is quite a tale. When Ao Friend passed through here, he asked if I had seen a seven-colored mother dragon. I’ve been here for countless years, so long I can’t even remember, and I’ve never seen such a dragon. I told him that it doesn’t exist."

"Afterward, he went off in that direction."

The tree raised a branch, pointing to the distance.

Lin Fan hadn’t expected Ao Wudi to genuinely search for a seven-colored mother dragon. Didn’t someone claim he was dedicated to one mate? Turns out it was all just bragging.

"Thank you."

Lin Fan and Gong Mo immediately headed toward the direction pointed.

"Wait, Friends," the tree called out.

Lin Fan asked, "Tree Friend, is there something else?"

The tree said, "There’s danger ahead. If you proceed, you’re bound to face harm. I urge you to leave this Forbidden Land. It’s no place for cultivators to be."

"Thank you for the warning, Tree Friend. However, we must find this person," Lin Fan replied.

Hearing Lin Fan’s response.

The tree didn’t say more. It had lived here for countless ages and observed countless events. Then there was a period of silence when no living creatures could be seen.

Now, frequently, cultivators arrived.

Naturally, the tree enjoyed the liveliness, but its gentle nature meant it didn’t wish them harm.

Regrettably.

These cultivators feared nothing. For their goals, they’d willingly dare the dangers.

Lin Fan turned to Gong Mo and said, "Brother Gong, why don’t you wait for me outside while I proceed alone?"

"No way! How could I let you risk yourself while I wait outside? I’ll go with you. More people means more help in case something happens," Gong Mo replied.

To Lin Fan.

If his mana hadn’t reached such a terrifying level, he wouldn’t dare let Gong Mo accompany him.

But now...

A tiny bit of conceit wasn’t too bad.

Lin Fan patted Gong Mo’s shoulder, "You’re a true brother."

As they ventured deeper.

The surroundings began to feel off.

While the outer areas carried an oppressive aura, they hadn’t been as unsettling as this – a sensation of being watched by some great, malign presence with evil eyes tracking their every movement.

Gong Mo’s face remained placid, but internally, panic crept in.

Now he wholly understood why Lin Fan suggested he wait outside. As Lin Fan mentioned, the situation here was genuinely abnormal. The deeper they went, the more oppressive the atmosphere became, sending chills down his spine.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan detected activity beneath the ground.

"Brother Gong, wait for me for a moment."

As soon as he spoke,

Lin Fan activated the Earth Escape Technique, diving into the depths below to investigate the disturbance. His Innate Divine Ability had picked up the presence of someone beneath his feet.

At that moment.

Li Daode was maneuvering through a long underground tunnel.

He’d dug the tunnel tirelessly for ages.

He didn’t even know how long he’d been inside the Forbidden Land. Ever since entering, he hadn’t left.

The most thrilling thing for Li Daode was that he’d indeed found something priceless within the Forbidden Land.

A Divine Medicine.

Three peculiar fruits.

Yet he didn’t dare use them recklessly without understanding their effects. He planned to have them appraised at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion after leaving.
