Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2097 - 2079: Misty Swamp

The news of Fang Yan becoming an inner elder of the sect quickly spread within the sect, almost dropping everyone’s jaws!

"What! Fang Yan is now an inner elder of the sect?"

"Oh my god, how is this possible!"

"It’s too outrageous, too outrageous!"

...

Everyone who heard the news was astounded, exclaiming repeatedly, because this matter had surpassed their imagination. Fang Yan actually became an inner elder of the sect, although only acting as an elder, but everyone knew what it meant, it was merely for appearances!

To know that Fang Yan is still so young, such a young inner elder cannot be found anywhere else in the entire Holy Soul Continent. This is simply too outrageous, too unbelievable, no one expected Fang Yan to reach this position at this age, this indeed has never happened in the entire Holy Soul Continent, not even in the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm!

However, although everyone was shocked, no one had any negative thoughts about Fang Yan. Fang Yan’s own strength already spoke for itself, strength was strength, there was no need to explain this at all, which made all the disciples in the sect view Fang Yan as a legend. Such a miraculous promotion speed, Fang Yan’s future achievements were simply unimaginable...

Not only was this matter a shock within the Divine Sword Sect, but even the four prominent families had received the news by now, which made all four families unable to remain calm.

The Qin Family and the Wu Family were all overjoyed, they seemed to have already seen hope. Fang Yan’s rise was unstoppable, and the speed of this rise was truly unimaginable. Both families felt fortunate to be able to hold on to Fang Yan’s big legs, following such a person who was destined to become a myth, destined to become a legendary super powerhouse, both families would reach unprecedented heights!

Compared to the Qin Family and the Wu Family, the Kong Family was in a different state. The Kong Family head, Kong Lifeng, was so shocked by this event that his jaw almost dropped. Fang Yan was incredible, it was understandable for him to become a Taoist, but becoming an inner elder of the sect was not something an ordinary person could achieve, at least there were some Taoists who couldn’t reach this position their entire lives, and Fang Yan had now achieved it. What did this imply? It implied that Fang Yan’s future development was absolutely unimaginable!

There was no denying that at this moment, Kong Lifeng truly regretted it. He never imagined that Fang Yan would come this far. If he had known Fang Yan was like this, he wouldn’t have opposed Fang Yan, even if it meant taking a loss before, but now it was too late to say anything. Thinking about offending such a promising powerhouse, Kong Lifeng’s brows nearly furrowed off.

Helplessly, he could only quickly summon all the family members to start discussing how to handle this matter. In such a situation, for the sake of the Kong Family, he had to come up with a countermeasure...

Among the four prominent families, the Fang Family was now completely silent, without a trace of joy. The family head Fang Qi and the patriarch Fang Pu sat together, sighing deeply.

"Unfortunate for the family, a villain like Tianhan appeared, pushing out a prodigy like Fang Yan, making the Fang Family lose its support, and moreover, losing its chance to rise. Fang Qi, you must not repeat the same mistakes, otherwise, our Fang Family will truly be doomed."

At this moment, Fang Pu said with a gloomy expression, thinking about Fang Yan’s situation made his heart ache terribly. If it weren’t for Fang Tianhan’s blind favoritism, how could Fang Yan, as a member of the Fang Family, leave? If Fang Yan hadn’t left the Fang Family, the Fang Family wouldn’t be what it is today. All of this was fate!

"Patriarch, Fang Qi knows what to do, I will definitely not make the same mistake again." Fang Qi replied at this moment, then after thinking for a while, said to Fang Pu: "Patriarch, is there a way for our Fang Family to restore our relationship with Fang Yan and bring Fang Yan back to the family?"

In fact, this was something Fang Qi had been thinking about for a long time. Since taking over as the family head, he wanted to execute this matter, but Fang Yan had not been in the Divine Sword Sect, so he had no way to contact him. Therefore, at this moment, he brought it up, hoping that the patriarch would agree.

"Forget it, Fang Yan’s intentions are determined, even if you go, it’s useless. The only plan now is to find a way for the Fang Family to get through this crisis. The other families have already noticed that something is amiss, and if they suddenly attack, whether our Fang Family can hold on is uncertain..."

Upon hearing Fang Qi’s words, Fang Pu directly denied it, if the relationship could be restored, Fang Yan wouldn’t have taken Fang Le’er with him, which showed that Fang Yan’s sentiments towards the Fang Family were dead, and any effort would be useless. So now was not the time to think about those things, rather, it was time to figure out how to get through the current crisis.

"Yes, Ancestor, I’ll think of a way..." Fang Qi heard Fang Pu say this and immediately gave up on his plans in this regard, though he knew what the outcome would be. It just wasn’t easy for him to give up, and he felt truly unwilling...

In just two days, the entire Divine Sword Mountain Range was abuzz. A twenty-something elder from within the sect, Fang Yan, had already shocked countless people. No one expected the Divine Sword Sect to make such an arrangement, it was truly unbelievable!

Even the Holy Soul Sect received the news. When Sect Master Xiao Tianrong learned of this matter, he could not help but remark that the Divine Sword Sect had truly gone all-in for Fang Yan, offering such terms. It was clear how important they had deemed Fang Yan, no wonder even when Xiao Hai invited Fang Yan to the Holy Soul Sect, Fang Yan did not agree—now the reason was apparent!

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianrong could only shake his head. The conditions offered by the Divine Sword Sect were just too high. If Fang Yan were to join the Holy Soul Sect, it would be impossible for him to become an elder of the inner sect. In this regard, Jue Tiannan really knows how to manage matters, making it impossible to recruit Fang Yan in the future.

However, just as the entire Holy Soul Continent was marveling at Fang Yan, he had already left the Divine Sword Sect, embarking on a journey to the Foggy Marshes—one of the three trial grounds of the Divine Sword Sect...

It took just two or three hours to reach the marshes shrouded in dense fog. Looking at the fog-laden marshes, Fang Yan couldn’t help but feel emotional. The Foggy Marshes lived up to their name, as the fog had lingered for thousands of years without dissipating, indeed making it a wondrous place.

It’s important to know that the Foggy Marshes target those above the Human Immortal Realm, as only cultivators at this level can barely survive in the Foggy Marshes. Many secrets here remain unexplored, as to this day, no one has traversed the entire Foggy Marshes...

After disembarking, Fang Yan immediately entered the Foggy Marshes.

Upon entering the Foggy Marshes, Fang Yan felt its uniqueness. Everywhere was an endless marshland, with sporadic appearances of a few unknown aquatic plants, and the trees were notably scarce, requiring a long walk to encounter one.

For reasons unknown, his Divine Sense was heavily suppressed in the Foggy Marshes. Usually covering over a thousand miles, here it could explore only about one mile. Most importantly, flying was impossible; he could only hover about a yard above the ground, making it better to walk slowly across the marsh.

In such circumstances, he often relied on instinct to act, as there was no one to help—only himself. Maintaining a cautious demeanor, Fang Yan encountered many troubles along the way, but he easily resolved them.

For instance, some very peculiar poisonous demon beasts suddenly emerged from the marshlands, or encountered very small but highly toxic insects, and even encountered a swarm of toxic bees the size of a fist. Were it not for Fang Yan’s protection by the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire along with his immunity to all poisons, he would have long been killed by these poisonous creatures and insects.

Along the journey, he also saw the remains of many humans, undoubtedly past cultivators fallen here. Seeing such scenes evoked mixed emotions in Fang Yan, for the path of cultivation is a rebellious path; only those who survive countless dangers can become true powerhouses. Even those above the Human Immortal Realm face the risk of falling.

The Foggy Marshes are most renowned for their diverse poisonous creatures, including some extremely unique mutated poisonous creatures that even frighten Fang Yan. There was one occasion where he felt a power comparable to Absolute Immortal Powder. Without Fang Yan having the Annihilation Thunder Flame to refine the toxins entering his body, even Fang Yan would be poisoned to death here, demonstrating just how terrifying these creatures are!

However, there are also some extremely special spiritual medicines here, allowing Fang Yan to gain substantially. Possibly due to the Path of Yin Yang Harmony, the spiritual medicines here are mostly antidotes, and seldom seen in the outside world, bringing Fang Yan some comfort.

After a full day of traveling, Fang Yan slew a variety of poisonous creatures, delving nearly two hundred miles into the Foggy Marshes. Given the entanglements with so many creatures, moving this fast is unimaginable to anyone. To anticipate danger, his Divine Sense remained perpetually active, leaving him feeling quite exhausted.

After clearing the surrounding poisonous creatures, Fang Yan took a Dharma Treasure from his Space Ring, placing it on the ground as a makeshift stand, then sat upon it to rest, circulating the cultivation technique to nourish his Divine Sense. To his surprise, upon circulating the technique, he discovered a difference—his Divine Sense had grown stronger, suggesting some benefits from the Foggy Marshes, though its mysteries are inaccessible to most.

Thanks to the clearing of poisonous creatures, Fang Yan focused his mind, restoring his spirit at maximum speed...

One hour later, Fang Yan stood up from the ground, and at that moment his eyes emitted two bright gazes. His previously depleted energy had been fully replenished. Smiling slightly, Fang Yan continued onward into the Foggy Marshes.

Yet this time, Fang Yan encountered trouble for the first time...
