155: Demigod falls!
Zhang Xuanling, holding the divine marrow liquid, left Jeju Island content.
But a shocking piece of news exploded in the demigod circle, like a magnitude 10 earthquake, impacting all demigods!
Zhang Xuanling… became a god!
…
Chang'an.
At Lüdi Villa, Zhang Xuanling appeared out of thin air above Villa 9.
Seeing the towering jianmu standing in the courtyard, Zhang Xuanling couldn't help but smile: "This jianmu is growing so fast!"
"If it continues to grow at this rate, it won't be long before it can produce Congenital One Qi on its own!"
"By then, the Congenital One Qi in Chang'an will be even richer!"
Zhang Xuanling murmured, then appeared in Zhang Fan's living room.
"Come see me quickly!"
Zhang Xuanling called out.
Hearing the summons, Zhang Hongcheng hurriedly came out of seclusion and went to his father.
"Dad, you're out of seclusion?"
Zhang Hongcheng asked excitedly.
"Yes, I'm out!"
Zhang Xuanling was in a joyful mood: "Where's Little Fan? Why don't I see him?"
He came this time mainly to give the divine marrow liquid he had just acquired to Zhang Fan.
"Little Fan isn't here!"
Zhang Hongcheng replied.
"Not here?"
Zhang Xuanling frowned slightly: "Why isn't Little Fan staying home and diligently cultivating? Where did he run off to again?"
"He…"
Zhang Hongcheng hesitated. The Fuxi Shrine was of great importance, and Zhang Hongcheng didn't know whether he should tell his old father!
"Speak!"
Zhang Xuanling's face darkened: "Did something happen to him?"
"No! Nothing!"
Zhang Hongcheng quickly said: "Little Fan is doing very well! Nothing happened to him!"
Zhang Xuanling breathed a slight sigh of relief and scolded: "Then where did he go?"
Zhang Hongcheng hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth.
After all, the old man wasn't an outsider!
Even if he knew about the Fuxi Shrine, it probably wouldn't matter much.
So he told Zhang Fan's story of entering the Fuxi Shrine and gaining its recognition, detailing everything.
"What? The Fuxi Shrine?"
Zhang Xuanling was indeed greatly shocked, followed by boundless joy: "Good, good, good! This is excellent! Hahaha!"
"I knew this kid would amount to something, haha, Fourth Brother, you see, he's gained the recognition of the Fuxi Shrine!"
"With the Fuxi Shrine's help, Little Fan's future is limitless!"
Zhang Xuanling was truly happy. The Fuxi Shrine was known as the number one treasure of ancient times, having successively created Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, and Huangdi, these four ancient great gods!
Now Zhang Fan had also been chosen by the Fuxi Shrine, and his future was bright!
"Tell me in detail!"
Zhang Xuanling was very curious; he wanted to know how Little Fan was chosen.
"Yes, Dad!"
Zhang Hongcheng nodded and recounted the detailed process of Zhang Fan obtaining the Fuxi Shrine, explaining everything.
Finally, he added: "Oh, and Little Fan has broken through to the Golden Core Realm!"
"Golden Core? That fast?"
Zhang Xuanling was startled.
Zhang Hongcheng nodded: "He's been cultivating in the Fuxi Shrine, where time is accelerated, so he's actually cultivated for several years!"
"No wonder! No wonder!"
Zhang Xuanling nodded repeatedly: "Excellent! This is truly excellent!"
"The Fuxi Shrine lives up to its reputation as the number one treasure of ancient times. With it, Little Fan will surely soar to great heights!"
"However…"
Zhang Xuanling's eyes flickered: "We must also do everything we can to help him grow better and faster!"
Zhang Hongcheng was a little confused: "Dad, do you mean…"
Zhang Xuanling looked at his son: "Since Zhang Fan has gained the recognition of the Fuxi Shrine and broken through to Golden Core!"
"As his grandfather, I must show my appreciation!"
Zhang Xuanling had always been thinking about Clark Kent's blood!
Clark Kent was an alien, and his physical body was incredibly terrifying!
Zhang Xuanling had wanted to kill him back then and bring his blood back.
Firstly, to test Zhang Fan's divine abilities, to see if the Seventy-Two Transformations could fuse with alien blood and transform him into an alien.
Secondly, to further enhance Zhang Fan's strength and enrich the Seventy-Two Transformations!
However, Clark Kent was incredibly strong. The last time he and Hua Yunzhang teamed up, they didn't gain any advantage, and they couldn't even get his blood.
After that, it was left unresolved!
But today, upon learning that Zhang Fan had not only been chosen by the Fuxi Shrine but also broken through to the Golden Core Realm, Zhang Xuanling decided to meet Clark Kent again.
He was confident that breaking through to the Divine Realm was enough to handle Clark Kent.
Even if he couldn't kill Clark, getting his blood would be as easy as pie!
With this thought, Zhang Xuanling stood up, and under his fourth son's puzzled gaze, he smiled: "Wait for my good news!"
With that, Zhang Xuanling disappeared directly, leaving a bewildered Zhang Hongcheng.
"What on earth does the old man want to do?" Zhang Hongcheng was utterly confused.
…
Fuxi Shrine.
First floor.
"Alright! Time's up!"
Golden Scale stopped Zhang Fan, who was practicing the Nine Revolutions Golden Ape Body.
Every time Zhang Fan came in to cultivate, he only cultivated for 100 hours.
This time corresponded exactly to 10 hours in the outside world.
From 8 AM.
To 6 PM.
Once the time was up, he had to leave.
Now, the time was up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan collapsed directly to the ground, not wanting to move at all.
These 100 hours, a full 4 days and 4 hours, excluding the first day spent learning the Nine Revolutions Golden Ape Body.
For the remaining three days, Zhang Fan cultivated under 10 times gravity.
He practiced the Nine Revolutions Golden Ape Body, Qi Refining, and body refining; when tired, he would visualize the Chaos Green Lotus to enhance his soul strength.
10 times gravity environment!
Even with the aid of jianmu juice, Zhang Fan was completely exhausted.
"Today's cultivation officially ends, and you performed very well!"
Golden Scale smiled at Zhang Fan: "I hope you continue to work hard!"
"I will!"
Zhang Fan responded weakly, then left.
Returning to the outside world, the tenfold gravity disappeared, and Zhang Fan felt his body instantly lighten, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.
"Low gravity environment is so good!"
Zhang Fan murmured, almost intoxicated as he breathed the outside air.
Without experiencing 10 times gravity, one would never understand how comfortable 1 time gravity truly was.
After lying down for a while, his body finally recovered almost completely.
Zhang Fan crawled up from the ground, looking at the training room with some confusion.
Hua Xia usually stayed in the training room to cultivate. Every time he came out of the Fuxi Shrine, Hua Xia would greet him.
What was going on today?
Was she not there?
Zhang Fan scanned the room and indeed didn't see Hua Xia.
"Where is she?"
Zhang Fan, with his doubts, went downstairs to the living room, but she wasn't there either.
Not only was Hua Xia absent, but his dad and mom weren't there either. Zhang Fan called out a few times, but there was no one home!
"Did they go to Vanke Riviera?"
After Zhang Tieniu was born, his parents often went to Vanke Riviera to see him.
Did they go today too?
With this thought, Zhang Fan decided to take a shower first, wash off the sweat, and then go to Vanke Riviera to see his son and Guo Mi.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered his room, the phone on his bedside table rang.
Zhang Fan picked up the phone; it was a WeChat video call from Hua Xia.
"Tengteng!"
Zhang Fan answered the call.
"Zhang Fan, something big has happened!" Hua Xia said, looking anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Fan was a little confused.
Hua Xia was almost in tears: "Grandpa Zhang… Grandpa Zhang, he's dead!"
Zhang Fan's whole body jolted, and his head, which had been a bit dizzy from intense cultivation, completely cleared.
Zhang Fan was a bit stunned: "The old man is dead? How is that possible?"
Zhang Fan felt it was absurd, even a little like laughing:
"Tengteng, don't joke! Grandpa is a demigod! Even if everyone in the world died, the old man couldn't possibly die!"
"It's true!"
Hua Xia's voice trembled slightly: "An hour ago, we received a call from the garrison on the city wall!"
"They said a body was hanging on the Life Wall!"
"The body was suspected to be Grandpa Zhang's, and they asked Uncle Zhang to go identify it!"
"Because it was a serious matter, Uncle and Auntie and I rushed over immediately!"
"And then… and then…"
Hua Xia couldn't continue.
"Tengteng, it's not really the old man's body, is it?" Zhang Fan quickly pressed.
"It's Grandpa Zhang!"
Hua Xia whispered: "Uncle Zhang and the others have confirmed it; it is indeed Grandpa Zhang's body!"
Zhang Fan was stunned.
The old man… died?
