121: Chapter 121 Mysterious Origin Heart-Questioning Array

"Hahaha... The opportunities and legacies of this place are all mine!"

"So what if you're Ji Aotian? No matter how powerful you are or how extraordinary your alchemy skills may be, you're nothing more than an old fogey!"

"How can you compete with me!!"

After entering the Immortal Cave, Lin Fan felt elated and couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh!

At the thought of Ji Taichang being blocked outside the door, only able to watch helplessly as he took away the opportunities and legacies here, he felt a wave of satisfaction throughout his body!

Ever since meeting Ji Taichang, he had repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of him and had long been suppressed to the point of bursting with frustration.

Now that he finally had a chance to get back at him, he was beyond thrilled.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!"

Lin Fan clenched his fist tightly and muttered to himself, "Ji Aotian! You've only been cultivating a few decades longer than me. With my talent and opportunities, I will definitely surpass you in the future! When that time comes..."

But at that moment, an untimely voice abruptly rang out.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Ji Taichang's figure appeared out of thin air, causing the smile on Lin Fan's face to freeze, and he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating!!

His eyes widened to perfect circles, and he was so startled that he took three steps back!

"You... how could you possibly get in?!"

"Didn't they say only those under thirty can enter!!"

Lin Fan's face contorted slightly, filled with a look of uncertainty and shock, as if he had seen a ghost!

"You're being a bit noisy!"

Ji Taichang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from him, making Lin Fan's body tremble as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

"Not good!"

"He wants to kill you!!"

Inside the ring, Yun Qiyao's heart sank suddenly. She immediately possessed Lin Fan's body, ready to counterattack at any moment!

Just as Ji Taichang was about to make a move, a strong sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart; he actually sensed an intense feeling of mortal peril coming from Lin Fan!

"A mere junior at the Foundation Establishment Stage can actually make me feel a sense of mortal danger!"

"As expected... he has a 'Grandpa in a Ring'!"

Ji Taichang narrowed his eyes slightly and took a subtle look at the simple, ancient ring on Lin Fan's finger, suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

Ji Taichang ignored Lin Fan and instead surveyed the internal world of this Immortal Cave, a look of slight surprise in his eyes.

Sensing the killing intent on Ji Taichang dissipate, Yun Qiyao and Lin Fan finally let out a long sigh of relief, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

Although Yun Qiyao could kill Ji Taichang by exerting all her strength in a counterattack, she would also exhaust all her power and fall back into a deep slumber, not knowing how many years it would take to wake up again. This was a consequence she could not accept!

"You must never provoke him again! Otherwise, even your Revered Master might not be able to protect you!!"

Yun Qiyao issued a stern warning to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan bit his lip, still somewhat unwilling: "But he..."

"But what!"

Yun Qiyao was quite disappointed in him: "Since you two met, has he ever once actively targeted you? Why do you always harbor such hostility toward him!!"

"Not only has Ji Aotian not targeted you, but he even stepped in to help your mother. He should be your benefactor!"

"Why do you always have to oppose him at every turn!"

Yun Qiyao's stern reprimand shook Lin Fan's heart, leaving him feeling both aggrieved and unwilling.

He defended himself: "Ji Aotian, he took Sister Yue..."

"Shut up!!"

At the mention of this, Yun Qiyao grew furious and could no longer hold back.

The fact that Lin Xueyue chose to be with him was her own choice. What does it have to do with you!!"

"Lin Xueyue was never yours from the beginning. What does it matter to you if she chooses to be with Ji Taichang!"

"Why must you always be so extreme!"

Lin Fan's head buzzed from the scolding, and his body trembled slightly.

He knew Yun Qiyao was right; he shouldn't have felt possessive over Lin Xueyue.

But...

Lin Xueyue was the 'White Moonlight' of his childhood memories!

He was unwilling to give up just like that!

"Mother doesn't understand me, and even Revered Master is speaking up for him!"

"Why!!"

"Ji Aotian... I won't give up! One day, I will trample you under my feet!"

Lin Fan secretly made up his mind!

Seeing Lin Fan's silent and sullen appearance without bowing his head to admit his mistake, Yun Qiyao knew he hadn't recognized his error and was still resentful!

"This kid... his talent is extraordinary, but why is his Heart-Nature so poor?"

Yun Qiyao sighed in her heart, and her favorability toward Lin Fan dropped another notch!

In fact...

A thought inexplicably arose in her mind.

"It would have been great if the person who picked up the ring back then was Ji Taichang..."

Yun Qiyao shook her head, suppressing the thought.

...

From the outside, this Immortal Cave was just located inside a small mountain and didn't seem very large.

However, this Immortal Cave contained a Small World. What met the eye was an incredibly bright space, with countless mirrors standing ahead, shimmering with innumerable reflections.

As soon as Ji Taichang took a step forward, the scenes in the mirrors began to shift. Some showed Lan Huaying's graceful figure in a semi-transparent Phoenix robe, some showed Qin Miaoyi kneeling before him, and some showed him becoming a generation's Sword Immortal, dominating the entire world of cultivation...

Every mirror reflected the various desires and emotions in the depths of Ji Taichang's heart!

Even with a mind as steadfast as Ji Taichang's, his consciousness became blurred at this moment. He felt as if countless images were surging toward him like a landslide or a tsunami, making it difficult for him to move forward!

On the other side.

Lin Fan took a step forward and similarly froze in place. His body couldn't stop trembling, sometimes showing a lewd smile, and sometimes showing bone-deep hatred and killing intent!

"This is... the Xuanyuan Heart-Questioning Array!!"

"This Formation can reflect and amplify all the desires and emotions in everyone's heart. The deeper one's obsession, the more they will be immersed in it, unable to break free."

"Only those with the most steadfast Dao Heart can possibly pass through this Formation!"

"As I thought, this is an Immortal Cave left behind by a mighty expert, intended to select a suitable successor for the Legacy!"

Inside the ring.

Yun Qiyao clearly sensed the situation inside the Formation and suddenly understood.

But when she saw Lin Fan completely immersed in it and unable to help himself, Yun Qiyao's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Lin Fan's talent was indeed very good, but his Heart-Nature was quite lacking!

In contrast, although Ji Taichang had a look of struggle on his face, he still maintained a trace of clarity and rationality, moving toward the center of the Formation bit by bit.

Seeing that Ji Taichang had already crossed more than half of the Formation while Lin Fan still stood blankly in place, his consciousness completely lost in the Xuanyuan Heart-Questioning Array, Yun Qiyao's face turned somewhat dark.

"Hehehe... my beautiful Revered Master, tonight you are mine..."

Lin Fan's face was suddenly filled with a lewd smile, his hands grasping at the air as he was lost in the illusion, unable to pull himself out.

"...Enough!!"

Veins popped on Yun Qiyao's forehead. She suddenly gave a cold shout, and a wisp of invisible yet powerful Divine Soul power swept over, making Lin Fan jolt. He instantly snapped awake, his eyes somewhat dazed and full of lingering aftertaste.
