Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1864 - 1846: Secret Meeting with Li Jingyun

Early the next morning, Lin Feng sent the two women back to the Wendao Pavilion and let them cultivate on their own, while he appeared on the top of a mountain within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. He extended his Divine Sense entirely, sensing everything around him as he aimed to uncover the unsettling feeling among the elders of the Sect, a feeling that he himself also experienced, indicating that this matter was undoubtedly extraordinary.

One location was searched in vain, then on to another...

He didn’t know how many places he traversed, virtually exploring both the Secular World and the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm completely, yet Lin Feng found nothing. However, just as he was about to give up, he discovered a very peculiar area around an island where Spiritual Energy surged like a tide, gradually permeating the air and drifting in all directions!

Faced with such an abnormal situation, Lin Feng moved swiftly to the location, intending to examine what exactly was happening from a closer perspective. To his surprise, even standing on the island and spreading his Divine Sense over several thousand miles, he couldn’t ascertain the cause of the spiritual energy fluctuations. Centered on the island, Spiritual Energy was spreading within a radius of several thousand miles. The spread seemingly originated from beneath the sea, where the Spiritual Energy density remained uniform, making it impractical to turn over the entire seafloor just to investigate the situation.

At that moment, Lin Feng felt speechless, not expecting such a unique place to exist in the world. However, after observing attentively for a while, he found that the spiritual energy fluctuations remained very stable, with no anomalies at all, which assured him that there was absolutely no danger. In the end, with no other choice, he gave up on continuing his investigation of the matter and resumed his journey of enlightenment.

After a few flashes of movement, Lin Feng suddenly appeared at the peak of the Himalayas. Gazing at the majestic mountain sea below, Lin Feng felt a particularly special sensation, and with a slight movement of his body, he was fully immersed in comprehension, standing still like a stone sculpture, letting the fierce winds blow...

......

Within the Divine Sword Sect, in a certain cave dwelling.

Feng Lun stood before a young man in a gray robe, who appeared somewhat frail, listening intently to Feng Lun speak. This young man was none other than Li Jingyun, ranked eleventh in the Divine Sword Sect’s Heavenly Court. It could be said that Li Jingyun’s prowess was very close to that of the Taoist and was the most formidable presence in the Heavenly Court apart from the Taoist.

"Brother Jingyun, this time I lost to Fang Yan, and I hope you can step up and teach that Fang Yan a lesson. Otherwise, Fang Yan will never take us seriously, leaving us disciples of the Heavenly Court in an awkward position. Moreover, there are rumors that he even intends to involve himself with the Taoist; does someone like him deserve such ambitions? If you don’t make a move, others might say you are cowardly and timid!"

Looking at Li Jingyun in front of him, Feng Lun said with unwillingness. He was no longer a match for Fang Yan, so now, to deal with Fang Yan, he could only rely on Li Jingyun to do it. With even the Taoist not having returned, currently, only Li Jingyun’s strength was formidable. He didn’t believe Fang Yan could rival Li Jingyun!

"Is Fang Yan really that formidable?" Li Jingyun’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t expected that after returning from a task, he would find someone like Fang Yan who was absurdly defiant, a situation he simply couldn’t fathom. The task he went on hadn’t even taken a year to conclude, which made it all the more difficult for him to believe.

"Honestly, I didn’t believe Fang Yan was that formidable before I fought him, but after actually going against him, I found him to be terrifying. Can you imagine it? His close combat prowess is comparable to mine. Have you ever seen such a Heaven Flipping Realm being?" Feng Lun sighed at this point, stating the truth. Regardless, he never expected things to turn out like this. He hadn’t even heard of a Heaven Flipping Realm pinnacle entity like Fang Yan; this wasn’t exaggeration.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyun’s face bore a grave expression. He indeed could consider Fang Yan as a rival. Although Fang Yan was only at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm now, Fang Yan possessed strength completely mismatched with his realm, a strength that truly moved Li Jingyun, compelling him to face it head-on. Moreover, the family had issued an order for him to find an opportunity to cripple Fang Yan. Under such circumstances, if he didn’t make a move, perhaps no one else could incapacitate Fang Yan.

Thinking about it, Li Jingyun turned to Feng Lun and said calmly, "Alright then, keep an eye on him. Inform me immediately once Fang Yan leaves his cave dwelling, and I’ll handle him."

"Alright, that’s settled then!" Feng Lun’s face lit up with joy as he heard Li Jingyun agree, elatedly responding as he immediately left. He was truly overjoyed; Li Jingyun’s capability dwarfed his own and was second only to the Taoist within the Heavenly Court, undoubtedly facing no issues dealing with Fang Yan!

After Feng Lun left, Li Jingyun pondered with furrowed brows. A confrontation with Fang Yan was not something he wanted. If he defeated Fang Yan, there wouldn’t be much to say by others, but if he lost, it’d be highly embarrassing, an effort that wasn’t worth the trouble. However, the family had already implemented pressure, and with Fang Yan having defeated even Feng Lun, if he didn’t step up, his prestige might also be at stake.

"How did I end up encountering such a matter!"

After a weary sigh, he muttered to himself. He couldn’t comprehend how someone as monstrous as Fang Yan had suddenly emerged. Even the Taoists within the sect weren’t as over-the-top defiant, a situation that was truly too exaggerated and he couldn’t fathom it. A sense of unease remained in his heart...

Three mornings later, as the morning sun just began to rise from the ground, Fang Yan emerged from his cave dwelling with a smile on his face. His meridians had mostly recovered, and soon he would return to the Human Immortal Realm. Once he reached that realm, he would fear no one within the Human Immortal Realm. Thinking of this, he shook his head, a smile lingering as he headed towards the Scenic Sky Courtyard.

Fang Yan didn’t notice, but the moment he left his cave dwelling, a gaze a few miles away swept over him. As Fang Yan walked towards the Scenic Sky Courtyard, that person took out the Communication Spirit Jade...

When Fang Yan arrived at the Scenic Sky Courtyard, he noticed that many from the Heavenly Court were present. As soon as Fang Yan arrived, a group led by Song He approached him immediately.

"Fang Yan, you’ve finally arrived. Have you been in seclusion lately?" Song He asked with a smile as he looked at Fang Yan. In truth, he had many questions for Fang Yan but never had the opportunity. He pondered arranging a time for Fang Yan to give him guidance, believing that such progress would surpass anyone’s imagination.

"Yes, just adjusting my physical condition," Fang Yan responded lightly as he looked at Song He. However, seeing many people present in the Scenic Sky Courtyard, he asked with interest, "What’s the occasion today? Why is everyone here?"

"You may not know, but there’s likely to be a major task in the sect soon. I learned this from my family, but we are not sure if it’s accurate; it’s just a rumor. If the sect indeed has tasks, the rewards are quite substantial." Song He replied directly, saying that it was a quite peculiar situation since it had been several days since the rumor emerged, and no one knew when the task would appear or whether it was real or fake.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Fang Yan was quite surprised hearing Song He’s words. If the family had received the news, the sect should be aware too, yet the sect hadn’t released the news, leaving him wondering what was going on.

"Yes, otherwise why would everyone gather at the Scenic Sky Courtyard? It’s been many days now, and every morning everyone comes over to check, not wanting to miss the opportunity for a task," Song He added. He, too, was eagerly awaiting, curious about the nature of the task.

"Well, having a task is a good thing, but if you’re going, be cautious and prioritize survival," Fang Yan said lightly at this point. He seemed to have noticed the indications. The sect withholding the task’s release likely meant the task was too dangerous, and they didn’t want their disciples to suffer losses; hence, the task’s announcement was delayed, which was the most probable scenario.

"Of course, you can rest assured," Song He nodded beside him responding, understanding the principle of prioritizing survival over everything else.

Their conversation continued as they walked among the crowd, and by now, more people joined Fang Yan, greeting him one after another.

"Fang Yan, you’re here!"

"Yes, you’re all early birds!"

"The early bird catches the worm!"

"Fang Yan, are you here for the task too?"

...

Chatting idly with everyone and passing time, after the events three days ago, most disciples originally neutral towards Fang Yan in the Heavenly Court began to lean towards his side. On one hand, Fang Yan’s prowess left them all stunned, and on the other, their families had instructed them to befriend Fang Yan, along with the Fang Family.

On the other side, those opposing the Fang Family, led by Feng Lun and Feng Qi, stood together, their expressions somber. In this short time, Fang Yan had already gathered numerous supporters within the Heavenly Court, while they could count their followers on two hands, starkly disadvantaged comparatively. If they didn’t swiftly deal with Fang Yan, their own progress would greatly suffer!

Just then, Li Jingyun approached from a distance, instantly drawing all eyes to him. In the Heavenly Court, where Taoists generally weren’t present, Li Jingyun was typically the first among them, thus there was no reason not to greet him.
