From the starry sky, looking down at the Giant Spirit Continent, one could see it resembled a giant lying flat, and the location of the Giant Spirit Palace was precisely the head of that giant.
In less than half a day, Zhang Fan and his group crossed the void and arrived above the Giant Spirit Palace.
At this moment, inside the Giant Spirit Palace, True Immortal Ju Que was seated on a massive throne. He had already received Qin Yun's message that True Immortal Zi Yue had agreed to make a move, which made True Immortal Ju Que both excited and expectant.
True Immortal Zi Yue was a powerhouse who had cultivated both body refinement and Qi refinement to the peak of the Refinement God realm. With such a figure making a move, even if Zhang Fan possessed a Great Dao secret treasure, he would be unable to resist.
As long as the Myriad Mountain Sect was annihilated, from then on, no force in this Shattered Star Domain would be able to contend with them, and the rich mineral resources on the Myriad Mountain Continent would all belong to their Giant Spirit Palace.
True Immortal Ju Que looked forward to the future, envisioning the Giant Spirit Palace, under his leadership, producing a third, fourth, or even more Nascent Soul True Immortals.
BOOM!
The protective formation of the Giant Spirit Palace suddenly vibrated violently, alarming all the cultivators within the palace.
"Enemy attack!"
The shouts of patrolling cultivators outside the palace echoed within the Giant Spirit Palace.
True Immortal Ju Que froze for a moment. His primordial spirit power spread out, but the scene it detected caused him to stand stunned on the spot.
True Immortal Ju Que was bewildered, a possibility that filled him with despair.
"Could it be that True Immortal Zi Yue was also defeated? How is this possible?"
Before True Immortal Ju Que could rush out of the main hall, he sensed that the protective formation had been shattered with a roar. A terrifying suppression power enveloped the entire Giant Spirit Palace. Apart from him, all other cultivators in the Giant Spirit Palace were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"It's over."
True Immortal Ju Que instantly felt despair. Whether True Immortal Zi Yue was defeated, fled, perished, or never even made a move, it was all unimportant at this moment. Because regardless of the outcome, his Giant Spirit Palace was doomed today.
"True Immortal Ju Que, long time no see!" Zhang Fan, leading Nan Zun and his group, walked into the Giant Spirit Palace with ease, as if strolling through his own backyard.
True Immortal Ju Que knew he had no room to struggle against Zhang Fan. So, upon seeing him appear before him, True Immortal Ju Que became much calmer.
When they first met, Zhang Fan was merely at the Half-step Nascent Soul stage, and True Immortal Ju Que hadn't taken him seriously. Yet, in less than half a year, Zhang Fan was now a powerhouse in the Refinement God realm.
At this moment, he finally understood how terrifying a cultivator who could cultivate the rules of the Dao to perfection at the Nascent Soul stage was.
"Was True Immortal Zi Yue also defeated?" True Immortal Ju Que, still with a trace of unwillingness, asked with a slightly bitter expression.
"He was defeated." Zhang Fan nodded and said, "True Immortal Zi Yue and Qin Yun have both been suppressed by me within the Myriad Beast Cauldron. Now, only you remain."
Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, the last glimmer of hope in True Immortal Ju Que's heart was extinguished. His entire being lost its vitality, and he instantly appeared much older.
"Before I die, I have a request. I hope Senior Zhang Fan will spare the other disciples of the Giant Spirit Palace." True Immortal Ju Que pleaded.
"Rest assured, I am not a bloodthirsty person. All those below the Half-step Nascent Soul realm in the Giant Spirit Palace will be given a way to live," Zhang Fan said lightly, glancing at True Immortal Ju Que.
"Thank you, Senior Zhang Fan." True Immortal Ju Que bowed.
"Alright, it's all over." A divine light shot out from Zhang Fan's eyes and entered True Immortal Ju Que's primordial spirit. The latter stood frozen on the spot, his eyes becoming cloudy and vacant.
After a while, Zhang Fan had read all of True Immortal Ju Que's memories, obtaining information that surprised even him.
Waving his hand, Zhang Fan suppressed True Immortal Ju Que into the Myriad Beast Cauldron and then turned to the people behind him, smiling, "Your opportunities have arrived."
"Opportunities?" Everyone was a little puzzled. What kind of opportunity could exist in this small Giant Spirit Palace that even Zhang Fan would call an opportunity?
"Do you know why Qin Yun was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a mere hundred years?" Zhang Fan asked with a mysterious smile.
Everyone pondered for a long time. Lin Haotian suddenly recalled some legends about the Giant Spirit Continent and exclaimed, "Could it be that this Giant Spirit Continent is truly the transformed body of an ancient Great Spirit Clan mighty being?"
Zhang Fan nodded and said, "The location of the Giant Spirit Palace is the land formed by the head of that Great Spirit Clan mighty being. And beneath this Giant Spirit Palace, there is a space that True Immortal Ju Que calls the ancestral land. Entering the ancestral land space offers a chance to obtain the inheritance of the Great Spirit Clan mighty being, but how far you can progress depends on your own destiny."
"However, before that, we must resolve the matter of the Giant Spirit Palace," Zhang Fan said, and then flew into the air. He scanned the Giant Spirit Palace, and any cultivators at the Half-step Nascent Soul realm were silently killed by Zhang Fan using the God Annihilation technique.
"True Immortal Ju Que is dead. Within ten breaths, all cultivators of the Giant Spirit Palace must leave this place, or they will remain here forever!"
Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, the tens of thousands of Giant Spirit Palace disciples dared not linger. The powerful protective formation of the Giant Spirit Palace was like a piece of thin paper before this man. Facing such a terrifying existence, they had long wanted to escape.
But before, they were suppressed by the Myriad Beast Cauldron, and even Half-step Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't move. Now that they could finally move freely, streams of light streaked across the sky, fleeing in all directions, for fear of being too slow.
The Giant Spirit Palace, which had been a scene of great prosperity, became desolate and empty within a few minutes.
"Follow me!"
Zhang Fan enveloped everyone with his magical power and descended beneath the Giant Spirit Palace. He burrowed through the ground for hundreds of kilometers, and after passing through a barrier, the scene before them suddenly opened up.
This was a vast small world, similar to the Great Luo Realm, but with significant differences. In this world, there were no mountains or rivers, no living beings, only countless fragments of Dao Source drifting in the space.
This Great Spirit Clan mighty being had reached the Dao Source realm in his lifetime, at the same level as the master of the Great Luo Realm.
However, this Great Spirit Clan mighty being had existed for too long. Many Dao Source fragments had become extremely thin, likely containing very little information. Furthermore, after generations of consumption by the Giant Spirit Palace, precious Dao Source fragments were probably even rarer.
"What is this?"
Lin Haotian and the others looked at the countless crystalline fragments floating in the air, their hearts filled with confusion. They could even see strange images through the Dao Source fragments.
"These are likely the fragments of Dao Source shattered after the demise of this Great Spirit Clan mighty being. They may contain some of his understanding and memories of the Dao before his death." Liu Mu said.
"The Dao insights of a mighty being?" Hearing this, everyone became excited. Even if they were just fragments, they were incredibly precious to them. If they could personally comprehend them, it would bring endless help to their future cultivation.
"Don't get too excited." Zhang Fan reminded them with a smile, "These Dao Source fragments are indeed precious, as they are the remnants of a powerful being at the Dao Source realm. However, they have existed for too long, and most Dao Source fragments are on the verge of collapse. Precious fragments are extremely rare, and whether you can obtain them depends on your destiny."
"Go ahead." Zhang Fan waved his hand at everyone and said, "Follow your heart in choosing. Don't dwell too much on gains and losses. I'll give you one month. After one month, regardless of your harvest, we must leave."
