Chapter 507: Chapter 507

The piglets he carefully selected were all of passable quality.

Three of them still failed to succeed—truly a bit unfortunate.

Zhang Zhili, who possessed the Chaos Thunder Body, successfully cultivated, and Xiang Hu, from the same family as Xiang Fei, also succeeded.

Zhang Zhixian was quite good.

Although he was somewhat older, he cultivated diligently. With the appearance of the Five Elements Nirvana Emperor Scripture before him, how could he not train rigorously? Naturally, he put his heart into it, hoping to succeed in cultivation and kill Lin Fan ruthlessly.

When Lin Fan showed up.

The people inside the Universe Tripod roared in fury.

"Lin Fan, if you don’t want to die, release us quickly!" Zhang Zhili bellowed. He was originally a prodigy, revered wherever he went.

He found everything so helpless, not even knowing what to do.

Xiang Hu said, "Why waste words with him? Let’s all attack together and fight our way out!"

Lin Fan sighed softly.

Feeling a little regret.

Ultimately, three still failed.

He didn’t say much. Let them depart peacefully in their final moments—why let them experience excessive rage?

"Lord of Heaven, I’ve raised too many piglets without ever getting a real opportunity."

"This time, give me one chance, please."

If circumstances allowed, he would have burned three sticks of incense for the Lord of Heaven to demonstrate his sincerity.

A terrifying force crushed down.

Zhang Zhili and the others howled furiously, but it was too late. Such power was beyond their ability to resist, even having comprehended the Five Elements Nirvana Emperor Scripture.

Six piglets were directly slaughtered.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart remained calm, as he prayed—for just one chance, that would be enough.

[Obtained Immortal-level Divine Power: Chaotic Burial of Heaven and Earth.]

[Obtained Spirit Root: Tao Level Thunder Spirit Root.]

It’s obvious without even needing to look—this must be Zhang Zhili’s. Only he possessed the Chaos Thunder Body, so only he could drop a Thunder Spirit Root.

Originally, Lin Fan only had a First Grade Thunder Spirit Root.

But now a Tao Level Thunder Spirit Root had dropped. That was already quite impressive, though what he truly needed was the [Five Elements Nirvana Emperor Scripture]; anything else was irrelevant.

If it could just drop, then...

[Obtained Emperor Scripture: Five Elements Nirvana Emperor Scripture.]

When he heard this prompt, the words that had reached the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. His emotions surged with incomparable excitement. If one were to describe how he felt.

It would be that the Lord of Heaven was indeed standing on his side.

As for further drops, they were no longer a matter of concern.

Qin Yang was seeking guidance, and suddenly he looked at Lin Fan. Just now, he noticed Brother Lin’s aura had subtly changed—his energy, spirit, and focus had undergone a complete transformation.

Could it be that even at a time , he broke through again?

The talent of Brother Lin truly made him admire deeply. This type of rapid improvement was something he hadn’t seen among the few geniuses he encountered.

He had never seen anything like it.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes.

Qin Yang curiously asked, "Brother Lin, be honest—did you just have another breakthrough?"

Even Xiang Fei was curious. Seeing something was one thing, but hearing about it brought extra weight.

"Oh, just a small improvement, nothing worth mentioning," Lin Fan replied modestly. Was it really a small improvement? In reality, it was a qualitative leap.

Qin Yang laughed, "Brother Lin’s cultivation advances further, which means my safety increases as well!"

What he cared about most was his personal security.

Having caused such massive trouble, if he didn’t cling tightly to a strong ally, he felt life was going to be extremely difficult.

"Alright, time to depart. Staying here any longer is pointless. How goes your inquiries—any promising direction yet?" Lin Fan asked.

Qin Yang said, "All set long ago. Destiny points us here—forward we go!"

For the moment there was no danger.

So he didn’t place the little girl into the Universe Tripod but set off into the distance instead.

As they passed a certain place, they stopped.

"What are they doing over there?" Qin Yang pointed below, confused. The group of scantily clad individuals intrigued him. Nowadays, everyone was wearing silk clothing, yet these people still wore hides.

Xiang Fei explained, "They are an ancient tribe unaffected by external influences, holding steadfast to their traditional ways. Such tribes are numerous in the Immortal Realm. As a young master of an Immortal Venerable Family, are you truly unaware of such matters?"

"I usually interact with prodigies—where would I find time to deal with such things?" Qin Yang found the perfect excuse for his ignorance. As young geniuses from Immortal Venerable Families, their lofty sights naturally overlooked certain groups.

They were traveling across an arid wasteland, with the blazing sun hanging high.

The earth below was baked hot and steaming.

The people below were digging into the ground—seemingly trying to uncover water, or so it appeared.

"Let’s go take a look." Lin Fan suggested.

When they descended from the sky, the primitive tribal members in hides stared fixatedly at them.

An elderly man stepped forward slowly, his raspy voice saying, "Welcome, honored Immortal Masters, to our humble tribe."

Lin Fan asked, "May I ask—what are you doing?"

He gestured toward the people, harboring some speculation but not entirely certain.

The old man replied, "We are digging for water. A river nearby dried up after Immortal Masters dueled, steam evaporating the water source. So we seek to uncover the underground river to sustain the tribe."

As Lin Fan had suspected.

With the sun so merciless, a group digging underground could only be seeking water. But these tribe members were remarkably unlucky—their only river, dried up due to the battles of Immortals. A casual action from an Immortal could ripple outward, triggering chain reactions.

Lin Fan approached the pit, already several feet deep, examining the scene below. People were still digging, but the deeper they delved, the harder it became.

Hard stones had to be smashed apart.

"To meet is fate—allow me to help you," Lin Fan said before lifting the tribal diggers out of the pit. Then, he unleashed his mana. With a tremendous rumble, the earth quaked as an enormous pillar of soil shot skyward, later being deposited far away.

Water from the underground river surged forth.

The surrounding tribe members erupted in joyous shouts as water gushed out.

Initially, they simply hoped for a well, but Lin Fan’s actions directly created a pond large enough for swimming.

Lin Fan realized merit was descending upon him. Strange—did merely digging a pond for others earn merit? It seemed the heavens were being overly generous.

His actions had spawned chain reactions.

The underground river was too deep for the tribe to ever reach with their combined efforts. Their likely fate was starvation and death upon this land.

What Lin Fan accomplished altered their destiny.

With merit descending.

Lin Fan grabbed hold of the merit, remembering his debt to Hell. With a flick of his finger, he opened a path to send the merit as repayment for his past favor.

"Elder, fret not. We were merely passing through and stopped to look. Now that water has been found, we must take our leave. Farewell." Lin Fan said.

As they prepared to leave.

The elder stopped them, saying, "Honored Immortal Masters, please wait!"

Lin Fan asked in puzzlement, "Elder, is there something further you wish to say?"

"We are deeply grateful for your grace and have nothing to repay you with. Please accept this—it has been passed down through generations in our tribe. We do not know its true nature, but our ancestors said it fell from the heavens." The elder retrieved a pitch-black stone tablet from his chest and offered it to Lin Fan with both hands.

Lin Fan declined, "Elder, this..."

He was about to reject it, but as his fingers touched the pitch-black tablet, his expression shifted subtly.

[Chaos Fragment: A remnant left behind after the Chaos of Heaven and Earth’s formation. It can create a Secret Realm for living beings to explore and seek treasures. The possessor can absorb the essence of these beings to strengthen oneself.]

"Well then—thank you for your generosity," Lin Fan said.

The shift in tone was seamless, evoking no suspicion.

Afterward, Lin Fan took out some elixirs.

"Elder, these are elixirs. Should any member of the tribe fall ill or suffer serious injury, dissolve these elixirs in water and allow them to drink—it will suffice."

These elixirs were Immortal Pills, harmless to Immortals but overly potent for mortals, requiring dilution before use.

For instance, dissolving them in water, then removing the pill, leaving only the medicinal-infused water.

The medicinal power would be more than adequate.

"Thank you, Immortal Master." The elder expressed tearful gratitude for the benevolent actions of the kind Immortal. In his view, previous encounters with other Immortals had yielded far less favor—his sentiments were beyond words.

"Farewell." Lin Fan said.

The group then departed.

Qin Yang remarked, "Brother Lin, your heart is truly too kind—I’m moved to the point of tears!"

"Hit the jackpot—we’ve really hit the jackpot this time." Lin Fan couldn’t hide the grin on his face.

Xiang Fei sensed something unusual. Just now, Brother Lin was clearly about to decline, yet his demeanor shifted, his gaze fixated on the black tablet—it was evident there was more to it.

"What do you mean, hit the jackpot?" Qin Yang asked curiously.

Lin Fan grinned, "This concerns whether you can reach the rank of Immortal Venerable—would you call that hitting the jackpot?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang’s eyes widened like he’d seen a ghost, "Brother Lin, don’t tease me—becoming Immortal Emperor is already something I’d be immensely grateful for."

Xiang Fei asked, "Can that be a Supreme Treasure?"

"Hmm, even more precious than a Supreme Treasure. So, you see—doing good deeds can sometimes yield unimaginable rewards," Lin Fan said. Content originally comes from NoveI★Fire.net

He was now impatient to study the stone tablet.

The description seemed incredibly mysterious.

Beyond anything his pig farming operations could achieve.
