Chapter 545 - 645: The Summit That Reaches the Heavens
After several days of a long journey, the stairway Ye Tianfan was on finally reached the outskirts of Heaven-Reaching Town, where they were greeted by Yu Shan's big bald head.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Ye Tianfan went directly to Yu Shan.
"Senior Brother Yu Shan, long time no see!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Tianfan, you..." Yu Shan was just about to chat with Ye Tianfan when he suddenly noticed something unusual about the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Ye Tianfan and quickly focused to sense it more clearly.
In fact, Ye Tianfan intentionally emitted the spiritual power fluctuations from his body. After all, if one wanted to hide their spiritual power fluctuations, it would be very simple for someone in the Thousand Source Realm. Of course, someone of a higher realm could instantly tell what you were hiding.
"Junior Brother Tianfan... you've... reached the Thousand Source Realm?" Yu Shan said incredulously.
After all, how long had it been since Yu Shan last saw Ye Tianfan, and he had already reached the Thousand Source Realm? The last time Yu Shan saw Ye Tianfan, he was only at the eighth level of the Wan Xuan, and the first time he met Ye Tianfan, he was only at the fourth or fifth level of Wan Xuan.
That's faster than taking steroids, although Yu Shan didn't know what steroids were.
"Ah? Hahaha! I didn't expect Senior Brother Yu Shan to notice. Your senses are indeed sharp. Yes, I have reached the Thousand Source Realm!" Ye Tianfan scratched his head and pretended to be embarrassed, but was actually showing off. After all, Yu Shan was one of the few good friends Ye Tianfan had, so achieving a bit of success definitely had to be bragged about.
At this moment, Yu Shan felt quite exhausted. He originally wanted to show off himself, as he had raised his strength to the ninth level of the Wan Xuan due to some fortuitous encounters. But encountering Ye Tianfan, who was desperately showing off, made Yu Shan's previous desire to flaunt his strength vanish completely.
Besides, as for what Ye Tianfan said about his sensitivity, Yu Shan didn't believe a word of it.
Yu Shan himself, at the ninth level of Wan Xuan, could already skillfully conceal his spiritual power fluctuations, and you're already in the Thousand Source Realm and you're telling me you can't conceal them? If that's not intentional, then what is it?
At this moment, Yu Shan really felt like walking away and not wanting to see Ye Tianfan's smug face anymore. However, he was genuinely shocked internally. He didn't know if Ye Tianfan had reached the Thousand Source Realm due to a fortuitous encounter or because of the use of pills, so while Yu Shan was shocked, he was also a bit worried. How stable was Ye Tianfan's foundation? He hoped that Ye Tianfan hadn't sacrificed his foundation for power, only to overdraft his potential to reach the Thousand Source Realm.
But Yu Shan carefully observed Ye Tianfan's body again and found that it shouldn't be due to overdrafting potential. If Ye Tianfan had overdrafted potential, then his foundation would definitely be hollow, and Ye Tianfan's spiritual power fluctuations would appear outwardly strong but inwardly weak, unable to sustain prolonged combat.
Yet at this moment, Ye Tianfan's spiritual power fluctuations were not only very firm but also gave off a feeling of richness, a sensation that wouldn't appear in someone who had overdrafted their potential.
After discovering this, Yu Shan could only sigh that Ye Tianfan must have a cheat code, although Yu Shan didn't know what a cheat code was.
"Sigh!" Yu Shan heaved a deep sigh, then said to Ye Tianfan, "Let's go, I'll take you to find a place to rest, and then we'll start our mission!"
"Mission? What mission?" Ye Tianfan asked, a bit puzzled. Wasn't their purpose here to stop ordinary people from entering Heaven-Reaching Town? Could there be another task?
"You didn't think that having a genius like you here was just for guarding Heaven-Reaching Town to prevent ordinary people from entering, did you?" Yu Shan said, looking defeated by Ye Tianfan's expression.
"Ah? Isn't that the case?" Ye Tianfan asked in confusion. After all, it seemed that it had been mentioned before that these disciples were just here to guard Heaven-Reaching Town.
"That's for the new disciples; it's their opportunity to get some practice. You're not a new disciple... uh." Yu Shan realized only after speaking that Ye Tianfan hadn't been in the Taichu Sect for long either. Although Ye Tianfan never mentioned how long he'd been in the Taichu Sect, just judging by Ye Tianfan's rate of progress, it couldn't be more than five years.
From zero to the first level of Thousand Source in five years, this surpassed even the most talented person in the current world, the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, didn't it?
Upon realizing this, Yu Shan gasped. If it weren't for his thoughts, he wouldn't have realized that Ye Tianfan's talent was terrifyingly exceptional, completely overwhelming the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji.
Thinking of this, Yu Shan gave Ye Tianfan a deep look and thought to himself that the Taichu Sect must have a plan. Such a genius remained so low-profile, probably to protect Ye Tianfan. Otherwise, the demonic forces would definitely send people to intercept him.
"Anyway, those are trial tasks for the newbies, and we have our own mission." Yu Shan finished speaking and walked in a direction, saying, "Follow me. I've been keeping it for you since I got here!"
After hearing that, Ye Tianfan followed, as the high-intensity journey over the past few days had tired him out, and he wanted a good rest.
"Senior Brother Yu Shan, you haven't told me what the mission is yet?" Ye Tianfan hurriedly followed, then asked Yu Shan. He had asked once already, but Yu Shan had rambled on without saying anything useful.
"Ah? Didn't I tell you?" Yu Shan turned his head in confusion, looking at Ye Tianfan. Didn't he mention the mission? That shouldn't be.
"No, you didn't! You've been talking about other things all along!" Ye Tianfan said matter-of-factly.
"Oh? Well, then let me tell you!" Our mission is to find a way to establish a watchtower at Heaven-Reaching Peak.
"Heaven-Reaching Peak?" Ye Tianfan looked at the peak behind Heaven-Reaching Town that seemed to touch the sky and said, "Isn't building a watchtower up there simple? Anyway, the top ten forbidden zones are above 300 meters on Heaven-Reaching Peak, so we can just build a watchtower at 200 or 100 meters. Isn't that easy?"
"Simple? It sounds simple, but it's tough!" Yu Shan looked at Heaven-Reaching Peak with some solemnity, then continued, "Within the restricted area, the Blood Worm Clan was driven down. Now they're struggling at 250 meters, trying to re-enter the forbidden area and not be eliminated."
Upon hearing about the Blood Worms, Ye Tianfan's pupils contracted sharply, and he said, "What? The Blood Worm Clan? That's troubling. We'll need the support of an Array; otherwise, even if we build the watchtower, it'll be destroyed."
