3. Draconic Ruins Realm

Lin Fan soon returned back to his Dorm Room. His room was a single bedroom which had a shared bathroom, which was shared by 4 people. Lin Fan locked the door and sat on the bed in a lotus position, finally he took out Temporal Demon Spirit Book and entered it's time and space and started cultivating using Spirit Essence and. chanting the Modified Heavenly God Technique.

Due to Spirit Essence's support Lin Fan's speed skyrocketed and his Soul Force started rising faster than he expected. But Lin Fan didn't continue with it instead he started consolidating his cultivation by filling any holes that were left and after doing so he started adding and stacking layers upon layers so as to create a solid foundation.

Even after doing it layer by layer, Spirit Essence greatly boosted his cultivation speed. In just 6 hours his cultivation made a jump from 50 to 120. And he became a 1 Star Bronze Rank Demon Spiritualist.

For the next 30 Years Lin Fan repeated this routine. He cultivated whole heartedly. In these 30 Years inside the Temporal Demon Spirit Book his cultivation reached 9 Star Dao Of Dragon Rank. He also Integrated with Primordial Shadow Devil, Primordial Chaos Dragon, Primordial Mutated Saint Jiao Dragon, Primordial Celestial Qilin And Primordial Eight Armed Hell Feind. The Spirit Essence really did wonders on his cultivation and helped him increase his cultivation speed. That was the whole reason he was able to reach 9 Star Dao Of Dragon Rank so fast.

Even though he could have cultivated faster but he wanted to strengthen his foundations and so he did it patiently but even then he reached 9 Star Dao Of Dragon Rank faster than he expected. On the 8th day Lin Fan didn't went to the class as he knew that Nie Li will create a ruckus by revealing about the Sacred Scarlett Flame Inscription and he was right after the class he heard everyone talking about the Sacred Family's scandal.

Lin Fan was unable to access the Temporal Demon Spirit Book for the next Ten days as it had such restrictions on it. So he came to find Nie Li and the others in the Library. Lin Fan came to Nie Li and said "Let me protect you and others from Sage Emperors and others Divination this is the least I can do for you."

Nie Li suddenly remembered about this wish of Lin Fan and nodded his head. Lin Fan moved his hand and golden light enveloped the whole group it also enveloped Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er who were far away. Finally, it entered their bodies. Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were shocked as to what happened but Nie Li and his group wasn't shocked as they knew Lin Fan did it and that there won't be any problems.

Lin Fan said that it was done and told Nie Li that he will take his leave for now and will meet him after 10 Months when they will leave for Nine Layered Death Lands. Nie Li was confused. But he still nodded his head.

10 Months Later....

Everything that was meant to happen has already passed and it all happened in the same way. Lin Fan became a sworn blood brother of Nie Li and others as he helped them in reviving Ye Zhong and Ancestor Ye Yan completely after the Demon Lord's attack on Glory City. He even killed Demon Lord in rage.

Lin Fan's Cultivation has also reached Peak Peak Deity Rank but it became increasingly difficult to breakthrough as he progressed. He is about to breakthrough into Emperor Rank and have been trying for past 5 months but still he just reached the bottleneck which he need to pass. And in those 5 months he spend almost 450 Years cultivating inside Temporal Demon Spirit Book. One can imagine how hard it is to reach Emperor Rank not to mention Supreme Rank.

Everyone left Glory City and reached the Ninth Floor of Nine Layered Death Lands. Every Master looked at Lin Fan and asked "Who are you?"

Lin Fan bowed and replied "Masters, I am brother of Nie Li and the others my name is Lin Fan. I am at 9 Star Heavenly Fate Rank and I have 9 Heaven Spirit Roots. I came here to accept the Master of Nether Realm as my Master. I was out of City when the Trials took place and so I wasn't able to attend the Trails"

The Masters were shocked when they heard about his Cultivation and Spirit Roots. The Nether Realm Master tried to gauge his Cultivation and found that he was speaking the truth. Finally, he said "It's true that you are at 9 Star Heavenly Fate Rank or maybe even above that Rank but if you want to be in a Master and Disciple relationship with me then you must know the rules first."

After saying this he began explaining the rules to Lin Fan. Finally, he placed a Master and Disciple Soul Seal on Lin Fan, but Lin Fan immediately set it off as his power exceed that of Master Of Nether Realm. After doing all of this, The Nether Realm Master said "It's almost time for everyone to leave."

Lin Fan, Lu Piao and Nie Li then wished a safe journey to everyone. Finally, the portal to Draconic Ruins Realm opened up

Everyone left one by one. Finally it was time for Lin Fan, Nie Li and Lu Piao to leave. Nether Realm Master spoke at this moment "The place you are going to is Divine Feathers Sect. I will be stationed here in the Nether Realm and Xiao Yu will take you there. Once you get there, there will be people to guide and teach you. Behave well, I hope you won't make me lose face."

Nie Li spoke up at this moment "Master before we leave for the Draconic Ruins Realm. Please accept this gift."

As he said this he extended his hand to present the gift. The Nether Realm Master accepted the gift and said "I have accepted your gift. Now it's time for you to depart to the Divine Feathers Sect."

Everyone nodded and entered the Portal. When they opened their eyes they were Infront of the Divine Feathers Sect's gate. Their were stairs that leads to God knows where.

As they started walking up the stairs, Xiao Yu looked at everyone and said "The entire region in eastern part of Draconic Ruins Realm, belongs to the Divine Feathers Sect. The Divine Feather Sect governs hundred of cities with a population of several hundred millions. Even just disciple of outer Division alone numbers in millions."

Nie Li was confused and asked "Outer Sect?"

Xiao Yu replied "Those under Divine Feathers Sect are divided into Little Heaven Realm, Inner Division and Outer Divison. Don't be deceived by how many people there are in the Outer Divison, for ordinary people they can just gaze enviously upon the Outer Disciples but never get a chance to be one of them."

Xiao Yu continued "The Inner Division is even more mysterious and unfathomable. As for Little Heaven Realm it's very existence is the stuff of Legends."

Lin Fan looked at Xiao Yu and said "You have basically told us nothing though."

Xiao Yu coughed and said "There are somethings you will understand in due time."

Lu Piao asked "What about us then will we enter the Inner Division?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said "No, we are going to the Tianling institute. All the people hailing from various cities and smaller realms all enter the Tianling institute to train and cultivate. Right now it happens to be the recruitment period of Tianling Institute which happens every 10 years. Those around us are all new students who came to register at Tianling Institute."

As they continued walking Xiao Yu continued "The Tianling Institute is divided into five parts with strictly defined boundaries. The central institute is the most powerful with the eastern institute that is just below it. And the western institute ranked third while the northern and southern institute are the weakest. You all need to take the test before it is confirmed which part you will be sent to."

Guan Yu who was a Demigod Rank Expert of the Xu Yu tribe spoke up "Testing? I Guan Yu, has never deigned to be tested."

Xiao Yu immediately said "A friendly reminder, no matter if you are a Legend Rank or a Demigod Rank Expert. Swallow up that pride of yours. The cultivation in Draconic Ruins Realm is divided into Heavenly Fate Rank, Heavenly Star Rank, Heavenly Axis Rank, Dao Of Dragon Rank, Martial Ancestor Rank, Diety Rank, Emperor Rank And Supreme Rank. Till Martial Ancestor they are further divided into 9 Minor Realms. In other words for those who haven't even formed a Fate Soul, they aren't even qualified to call themselves cultivators."

Guan Yu immediately retorted "So what, with my level of talent I will surely stand out from everyone else."

Xiao Yu and others didn't bother with Guan Yu. Finally, they reached the testing area.
