Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 124 - 123: The First Layer of the Mortal Realm

For a moment, Lin Fan felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

To be honest, if he had a choice, Lin Fan really didn’t want to kill Lin Tianlin.

After all, he was also a member of the Lin Family.

Born from the same root, why rush to fry each other with such haste?

If Lin Tianlin could have just stayed well within the Lin Family, it would have been a significant help to the future development of the clan.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan and Lin Tianlin had already become irreconcilable enemies, leaving Lin Fan with no other choice but to defeat him.

After one more glance at Lin Tianlin’s corpse, Lin Fan slowly descended from the arena and began to walk away.

Everyone consciously cleared a path for Lin Fan.

At this moment, when they looked at Lin Fan, in addition to admiration, there was also an endless fear.

With Lin Fan having slain Lin Tianlin, it also meant that Lin Fan had now become the fifty-first ranked presence on the Green Mountain List.

Lin Fan moved slowly.

Soon after, Liu Junli’s voice sounded from behind: "Lin Fan, wait up!"

Lin Fan stopped.

Liu Junli quickly caught up to him and asked, "Lin Fan, what’s wrong? You look a bit off."

"Haha!"

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "It’s nothing!"

Liu Junli asked, "Are you really okay?"

Lin Fan nodded again.

Liu Junli looked at Lin Fan suspiciously. She knew that there must be something on Lin Fan’s mind, but if Lin Fan was not willing to share, there was nothing she could do about it.

"Right, Lin Fan, let’s go to the Martial Arts Pavilion together!" Liu Junli said.

Lin Fan shook his head, "Sorry, Liu Junli, I need to continue my cultivation. I take my leave!"

After saying that, Lin Fan didn’t wait for Liu Junli to respond and quickly left.

"Lin Fan, wait up!"

Liu Junli shouted again.

But this time, Lin Fan did not stop and continued to leave quickly.

Liu Junli stamped her foot in frustration, saying, "Lin Fan, just you wait, I’ll catch up with you. A girl chasing a boy is like separating with a layer of gauze, hmph!"

After saying that, Liu Junli also turned around and left.

After returning to his courtyard, Lin Fan couldn’t understand why, but he felt inexplicably empty deep inside.

Unconsciously, Lin Fan thought of Lin Tianlin.

Honestly, when they were very young, the relationship between Lin Fan and Lin Tianlin was very good. However, it had gradually deteriorated until it reached a life-or-death enmity.

"I hope that in the future, our Lin Family will not have to experience such fratricidal conflicts again!" Lin Fan thought silently in his heart.

"Right, I have been away from home for a while now, and I don’t know how things are there. I should take the time to go back and check!"

Lin Fan had already decided that he would go back and check when he had time.

For the following two days, Lin Fan stayed quietly in his own courtyard, refusing to see anyone who visited.

After two days of settling his thoughts, Lin Fan’s heart finally reached a state of calm.

"Right, the Will Painting given to me by the Seven-star Wanderer!"

Next, Lin Fan took out the Will Painting, opened it, and hung it on the wall.

Upon looking at it, Lin Fan saw ten rivers on the Will Painting that were incredibly lifelike, seeming to flow on the painting just like real rivers, and Lin Fan even faintly heard the sound of the rivers.

"These ten rivers must have been painstakingly drawn by the Seven-star Wanderer. However, I have no idea what the trick behind them is!"

Lin Fan thought secretly in his heart.

At the same time, Lin Fan’s attention remained focused on observing the ten rivers, wanting to discover something from them, but unfortunately, despite a long observation, he found nothing.

"What is going on here?"

Lin Fan’s heart was once again filled with doubt.

"Right, I can try using the power of the soul!"

Following that, Lin Fan summoned his soul power and used it to inspect the painting.

But the result was still the same, and Lin Fan, again, found nothing.

For a while, Lin Fan felt lost.

What should he do to comprehend the contents of the painting?

How exactly can I elevate my Will Realm?

Will?

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of these two words.

"Since this painting is used for cultivating and understanding will, using the power of my soul naturally cannot grasp its essence. Maybe, I can try using the power of will!" Lin Fan laughed happily.

As a cultivator, one naturally possesses their own willpower, although the willpower varies between cultivators.

For example, Lin Fan’s willpower was relatively strong, as he had been studying Arrays, which had also transformed his willpower.

Lin Fan swiftly mobilized his willpower.

Boom...

And as Lin Fan mobilized his willpower, a huge black hole suddenly appeared on the painting. As soon as this black hole emerged, its force acted entirely upon Lin Fan’s will, pulling it into the painting in an instant.

With his will entering the painting, Lin Fan was shocked to find that inside the painting was a Will World.

In this Will World, there were ten true rivers.

Each river flowed upon the earth, and at first glance, these rivers looked just like those in the real world outside. However, upon closer understanding, he realized that these rivers were somewhat different.

Additionally, Lin Fan discovered that opposite the ten rivers, a huge altar had appeared at some unknown time.

Vaguely, Lin Fan felt that there were extraordinary treasures within the altar.

"Let’s go over there and take a look!"

With this thought, Lin Fan stepped into the first river.

"Hmm? Such a powerful willpower!"

The moment his feet touched the water, Lin Fan thought this. He finally realized that these rivers were completely composed of willpower.

Lin Fan continued to walk forward step by step.

The water in the river gradually submerged him, first reaching his knees, then his waist, and after that his chest, eventually reaching his neck.

At this point, Lin Fan stopped.

Because Lin Fan knew very clearly, he could not continue to walk forward. If he did, the water in the river would drown him.

Lin Fan stood still on the spot, somewhat dumbfounded.

But at a certain moment, Lin Fan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I understand now, I finally understand, haha, as it turns out, my task is to wade across each river, but I can’t use the current foolish method to cross them. Instead, I should find a way to make my body float!"

Lin Fan stood quietly in place.

He began to study the water flow patterns in the river.

Lin Fan was aware that only after understanding the water flow in the river could he use the river’s force to cause his body to float.

After a long while, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head, saying, "No, the direction of my study may be wrong. It’s not the rules of the water flow that I need to understand, but rather, I should find a way to integrate with the river!"

"Once I have merged with the river, we will be indistinguishable from each other, and naturally, my body will be able to float at will!"

Then, Lin Fan closed his eyes again to contemplate.

Lin Fan was sure that there must be an independent will unique to the river.

And what Lin Fan needed to do was to awaken the will within the river.

Lin Fan contemplated quietly. Sometimes, he imagined himself as the river, and at other times, he imagined the river as himself.

An unknown amount of time had passed when suddenly, Lin Fan felt a voice responding to him in his mind.

This is the will of the river!

"Ha ha!"

Lin Fan was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

However, he still restrained his joy and continued to understand, quietly and deeply.

Finally, after a while, Lin Fan had established some sort of connection with the consciousness of the river, finding himself completely merged with the entire river, indistinguishable from it.

Naturally, Lin Fan was now able to control his body to float.

Then, Lin Fan was seen sitting cross-legged above the river, directly floating towards the opposite bank of the first river.

It didn’t take long to reach the opposite bank of the first river.

The moment Lin Fan’s feet touched the other side of the first river, he discovered that a new space had formed in his mind.

This was his own Will Space.

At the same time, a river also flowed within his Will Space.

Additionally, Lin Fan found that he could now mobilize the willpower within his Will Space.

"Ha ha!"

Lin Fan burst out laughing: "My Will Realm has finally reached the Mortal First Layer Realm!"
