The Strongest System - chapter-138

A month later…

Lin Fan had been hard at work. ‘Tidal Push’ had now reached 20 folds
in strength. ‘Faceless Sky Demon’ and ‘Will of the Sword’ were
both at 3rd stage, awaiting completion. ‘Twisting Heaven and Earth’,
‘Black Tiger Steals Heart’ and ‘Deflowering Finger’ though were
still at where they were, barely touched in all this while.

Especially ‘Dragon King’s Hegemony’, the skill which increased his
power level, it had not grown by even a bit.

Meanwhile, his own cultivation base was the worst. Facing the sea of
experience points required, even massively gulping down a lot of pills
continuously did not help that much at all.

While the number of pills he took daily could not be considered little,
most of them were low graded pills. Even after consuming them, they did
not help much with his experience points.

“No, I have to head out to experience more waves.”

The peaceful and idle life was causing Lin Fan to feel uncomfortable, as
though he was stagnant.

He was far, really far, from his ultimate goal. And now that he was
living so idly within the sect, that furiously burning heart he once had
was starting to grow stale.

Waves…waves…

In his life, he did not need the help of the smooth sailing winds. All he
needed was tumultuous waves of events. And now that nothing was
happening, was he still himself at all?

Postcelestial Level 1 (60,000,000/100,000,000)

This experience points required left Lin Fan speechless.

But, if he could cross the barrier, this barrier of level 1
postcelestial, the experience points required should drop.

And now, within Glory Sect, he was already a highly regarded master. How
could he continue milking experience points from his junior disciples. If
word were to spread, wouldn’t he just be a laughing stock?

Besides, the world was so big. He ought to head out to experience it for
himself.

Lin Fan stood up. Opening his house doors and gazing at the clear blue
skies, he made up his mind.

He was going to leave the sect grounds and check out the world outside,
bringing up his cultivation base.

“Junior Master.” Just then, Tian Yu exited from his house. Upon seeing
Lin Fan, he immediately stepped up and greeted.

During his stay here, Tian Yu had experienced deep care and heartfelt
concern. Furthermore, he had established a strong relationship with Zhang
Ergou and Feng Bujue.

Especially Zhang Ergou, the two of them were exceptionally chummy.

Tian Yu recognized that Zhang Ergou’s cultivation base was low, and
that he had no talent at all. In the past, he would not have even
bothered with such a disciple. But upon discovering Zhang Ergou’s care
and concern towards himself, it made him recall back to the times when he
was just a mere mortal, and the love of brothers in a family.

“Yes. Your cultivation base has reached postcelestial level 1. I doubt it
will be long before you will return to your peak.” Lin Fan’s gaze
focused at Tian Yu.

In this period of time, Tian Yu’s cultivation foundation had been
retrieved by Lin Fan by a huge portion. Furthermore, given that he had a
good foundation in the past, his cultivation speed was all the more
faster than the rest.

Lin Fan realized that indeed, a talent was a talent.

Even though he had a system, there were pros and cons.

As long as there was sufficient experience, one could level up as many
times as they’d like to without the need for a good body or mental
foundation. For those of them without the system, as long as they could
overcome this obstacle, they could level up.

When comparing the two methods, each had its strengths.

Now, of course, the con of the system would be the leveling aspect. But
that was about it. Other than that, everything else surpassed everything
within this world.

“It was all because of Junior Master, who granted me a new life. This
debt, I will etch it in my heart for the rest of my life.” Tian Yu
greeted thankfully.

The longer he spent around Lin Fan, the more he realized about Lin
Fan’s mysteriousness.

But what Tian Yu did not know was that within those seemingly godly and
omnipotent eyes of his Junior Master was a world of worries. Because, in
order to leave a good impression in front of Tian Yu, Lin Fan had to put
on his best act every time he saw him. He could not even give himself
space to relax lest he let up on his act.

But to Lin Fan, this was all worth it. Based on Zhang Ergou’s frequent
reports, Tian Yu’s attitude was gradually changing. As long as Lin Fan
persisted, poaching this man from the main sect was not impossible.

“Master, we’re back!” Zhang Ergou and Feng Bujue’s voices rang out
from a distance.

On their master’s orders, both of them headed out to scout out some
news.

A few days earlier, Lin Fan already had the notion of leaving the sect
grounds. So, he first sent these two out to find out more about the
current situation within the sect.

“How, is there anything?” Lin Fan asked.

“Yes! I just heard from within the inner sects that the sect is sending
inner sect disciples up to the Floating Snow Peaks!” Zhang Ergou replied.

Lin Fan took a glance at Tian Yu. Since he was an inner sect disciple, he
should know of the place.

Receiving Junior Master Lin’s gaze, Tian Yu explained, “Junior Master,
the Floating Snow Peaks lies within the Sky City. It snows continuously
on the Floating Snow Peaks all year long, and is a place where many
ferocious beasts gather. The Sky City belongs to all the major sects, and
we take turns guarding it against the ferocious beasts.”

Lin Fan nodded understandingly, “So, did you guys find out what’s their
intentions of heading up to the peak?”

“Yes! But I don’t know if it’s real or not. It seems like a beast
with a cultivation base of a Lesser celestial has appeared. But as for
the actual situation, I’m not too sure.” Zhang Ergou answered.

“Junior Master, I suppose our sect has sent people out to slay the beast.
While the lesser celestial beast’s body may contain countless
treasures, it is also wildly dangerous. Each of the major sects is
probably planning to take action as well.” Tian Yu elaborated. He had
once taken part in such an operation. Thus, he was clear of what was
happening.

“I see. Alright, you guys head back to rest.” Lin Fan waved his hands and
headed down the peak.

He was going to head over to the Grand Master and ask for permission to
hitch on this ride.

Things like slaying beasts and the likes were Lin Fan’s favorite. Not
only were the experience points aplenty, so were the treasures. If he
were to stay cooped within the sect, he wondered when he could finally
level up.

.

“What’s master up to?” Zhang Ergou shrugged, unable to understand his
master’s actions.

“Junior Master should be keen on heading there as well.” Tian Yu remarked
as he looked at Lin Fan’s leaving back.

…

Heading down from the Nameless Peak, Lin Fan nodded his head to the outer
sect disciples he passed by. These outer sect disciples’ dream now was
to be able to enter the Nameless Peak as a disciple.

But, Junior Master Lin had not made any attempts to recruit any
disciples. So, while they were anxiously waiting, they could do nothing.

How could they have not seen Nameless Peak’s potential back when they
were starting up?

But now, they were the ones on the begging end.

Lin Fan traveled briskly towards the Grand Master’s Great Hall. He was
determined to follow the Grand Master down out of the sect grounds.

“Lin Fan requests an audience with the Grand Master.”

“Enter.”

…

Entering the Great Hall, there were a group of Senior Elders gathered as
well. Revealing his most charming smile, Lin Fan greeted, “Greetings, my
Senior Brothers.”

“Ahh, it’s Junior Brother…”

Calling him Junior Brother did not leave a good taste in their mouths.
After all, they were all a bunch of aged old men. Calling a young fella
as Junior Brother was kind of weird.

Yet, there was nothing wrong based on seniority. Now that Lin Fan was the
master of the Nameless Peak, and had established his own sect, based on
position, he was the same as them.

And to regard seniority, those who entered after them were naturally
Junior Brothers. Thus, in technical terms, Lin Fan was in no way unworthy
of being called Junior Brother.

Looking at Lin Fan, Grand Master Yan revealed a smile, “Yes?”

.

“Master, I heard that you chose a few inner sect disciples to head up to
the Floating Snow Peaks? I would like to follow as well.”

“No.” Just as Lin Fan had finished his words, the Senior Elders present
rejected him immediately.

Now that Lin Fan possessed ‘Pills Through Thought’, he was a darling
of the sect. How could they let him take such a risk in the Danger
Grounds?

Furthermore, while the other sects might not bear any grudges against
Glory Sect…once they discovered that Glory Sect had a disciple who
could perform ‘Pills Through Thought’, it was hard to guarantee that
they would not try to assassinate him in case he became a threat in the
future.
