CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 611: THE ORIGIN OF THE HOLY MANSION!

Over thirty Body Integration Realm cultivators, yet none dared to meet the gaze of Lin Fan, who was merely at the early stages of Void Refining!

All instinctively lowered their heads, refusing to look into Lin Fan’s eyes.

Lin Fan directly pushed open the grand hall’s main doors and entered.

"Brat! You’re seeking your own death, don’t blame me! I, Wu Zhigao, will remember you!" A young man, whom Lin Fan had slapped to the ground, glared at Lin Fan’s departing figure with eyes filled with venomous resentment, as if blood could drip from them.

At the same time.

In a high tower on the other side of the grand hall, within an attic.

A man with an unnaturally soft demeanor stood leaning against the railing, with a young girl of surpassing beauty, scoring above 9.5 points, standing behind him!

"Wasn’t I right? This person is unyielding and arrogant, used to being unbridled. Your warnings are useless!" The girl shook her head lightly.

If Lin Fan were here, he would undoubtedly recognize the woman as Xiao Yingyun, whom he knew from the Spirit Realm!

The effeminate man, named Di Tian, had a cultivation that surpassed the Ninth Rank Ancient Saint, reaching the realm of a Sixth Rank Saint Lord!

Xiao Yingyun had no idea about the true background of Di Tian!

But.

Xiao Yingyun did know that Di Tian came from a First Grade power within the Divine Wind Continent!

Even the Pavilion Master of the Holy Mansion would not dare to offend Di Tian!

Moreover, Di Tian was not considered a member of the Holy Mansion, but merely dwelling there temporarily.

Therefore, he was not listed in the rankings of the Holy Mansion Inner Mansion!

"I’ve met many unruly people like him! He is arrogant enough, but he also has the capital to be. Are you sure that half a year ago, this person’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core Late Stage?" Di Tian’s gaze became intense.

He became somewhat cautious in his heart!

If it were anybody else being so arrogant, Di Tian would not even bother to pay attention.

But.

After Xiao Yingyun’s explanation, Di Tian started to take Lin Fan seriously!

Only because half a year ago, when Lin Fan and Xiao Yingyun met, his cultivation was at the Golden Core Late Stage.

"Yes! Half a year ago, this person was at the Golden Core Late Stage, and then we parted ways! When he reappeared, he was in the Nascent Soul Early Stage within the Baili family of the Spirit Realm! Later, when he was pursued by the people from the Baili family, I thought he was dead! But, I didn’t expect to see him again today in the Holy Mansion! And even more so, he has crossed two major realms, entering the Void Refining Realm, I believe this Lin Fan must have encountered some extraordinary fortune!" Xiao Yingyun nodded, her eyes flashing an imperceptible hint of jealousy.

That’s right!

She was jealous!

Jealous of Lin Fan!

Why?

Half a year ago, Lin Fan’s cultivation was at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Late Stage.

While she, Xiao Yingyun, was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and had received the Ancient Saint Inheritance!

Now, Xiao Yingyun had just entered the Divinity Transformation Middle Stage. She considered herself a genius among geniuses!

However, not only did Xiao Yingyun fail to leave Lin Fan far behind, but she was also overtaken by him!

And Lin Fan’s cultivation had already reached the early stages of Void Refining!!!

A strong wave of jealousy surged in Xiao Yingyun’s heart.

Why should a useless person have such encounters?

In just half a year, to have entered the Void Refining Realm!

To know, a typical ordinary cultivator might not even become a Void Refining Cultivator in their lifetime.

"It seems that this kid indeed has secrets! When the chance arises, I’ll personally ask him," Di Tian said indifferently, nodding.

As if everything was naturally meant to be!

If he personally asked, would Lin Fan dare not answer?

...

...

At this moment.

Lin Fan had already entered the grand hall.

Murong Guan, Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and over a dozen other elders were all there, seemingly discussing something.

Upon seeing Lin Fan’s arrival, Murong Guan’s face brightened with a smile, "Lin Fan, you’ve finally come, have you dealt with all your matters?"

"I have," Lin Fan replied with a light nod, "Pavilion Master Murong, let’s not beat around the bush. I joined the Holy Mansion indeed to engage in cultivation and raise my Cultivation. You directly granted me the Mystic Iron Token, providing me various privileges within the Holy Mansion; there must be other requirements, right? Now, you can tell me."

"If your requirements are reasonable, I will agree! However, if the requirements are unreasonable, there’s no way I can agree."

After finishing his statement, Lin Fan stood there, looking calmly at Murong Guan.

"Hahaha! Indeed, a smart person, since you are smart, I will not mince words," Murong Guan laughed heartily.

The look he cast towards Lin Fan now held a trace of satisfaction.

He had originally thought that he would have to waste more words!

Now it seemed there was no need!

Simply because Lin Fan was a smart man, he knew Murong Guan would not treat him well without reason—there had to be other stipulations.

"Lin Fan, do you know the origin of the Holy Mansion?" Murong Guan asked.

"I do not," Lin Fan shook his head.

Murong Guan continued to ask, "Then do you know the location of the Holy Mansion?"

"The location?" Lin Fan frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, then said, "The Holy Mansion should be a continent, but incomplete and floating within the Void! As for the exact location, I do not know. However, I’ve heard others say that the Holy Mansion’s location should not belong to any world – not the Spirit Realm, nor to the Asura Realm, and especially not to the Divine Wind Continent!"

"Oh? You know of the Divine Wind Continent?" Murong Guan appeared a bit surprised.

Unless one is a core student of the Holy Mansion Inner Mansion, the general students of the Outer Mansion would not know about the Divine Wind Continent.

Lin Fan actually knew?

"I’ve heard it mentioned," Lin Fan nodded without further explanation.

Murong Guan gave Lin Fan a deep look before slowly speaking, "What you said is correct, the existence of the Holy Mansion does not belong to any plane! But a million years ago, the Holy Mansion was actually located on the Divine Wind Continent!"

"Then why does the Holy Mansion appear in the Void?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Because the Holy Mansion was exiled..." Murong Guan said with an embarrassed expression.

"Exiled? What happened?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

"Due to the elimination system for the lowest rank!" Murong Guan explained with a helpless, wry smile.

"Rank elimination? What’s that about?" Lin Fan was curious.

On Earth, some companies also have a last-place elimination system; to think that such a system exists in another world too?

Murong Guan explained, "It’s like this, the Divine Wind Continent is very vast, with many forces upon it; the most numerous are the Fifth Grade forces! Every one of the Fifth Grade forces occupies a Spirit Vein of the Divine Wind Continent. Overtime, the entire continent no longer had available Spirit Veins left for others to seize!"

"Therefore, every thousand years, all the forces on the Divine Wind Continent compete once! They exile the lower-ranking forces into the Void! Among them, Third Grade forces exile ten percent, Fourth Grade forces exile fifteen percent, and Fifth Grade forces exile thirty percent! Any force that does not fall within the percentage bracket would be exiled! Before being exiled, the Holy Mansion was part of that thirty percent!"
