Chapter 869 The Heavenly Emperor Appears
"Of course, otherwise wouldn't I be letting you down?"
"But I didn't expect our Domain Lord to be so shy. After waking up, he ran out by himself without saying a word."
Lin Fan wore a teasing expression.
"No...no, what's there to be shy about?"
Mandala hurriedly denied it, but her eyes darted away, avoiding Lin Fan's gaze, and an unnatural blush appeared on her tense face.
Although Mandala has existed for tens of thousands of years, she is naturally a blank slate when it comes to romantic relationships. Lin Fan can see through her every little movement and expression.
As Lin Fan said, she was in a hurry and didn't care about anything else, so she took the initiative to go into the house to save Lin Fan. But after she woke up, Mandala gradually regained her senses. She didn't know how to face Lin Fan's many concubines after leaving the room, so she could only temporarily choose to escape and left the Divine Might Space alone.
Seeing Mandala blush, Lin Fan stopped teasing her. Qing Tan arrived from a short distance away.
"You...you're alright!?"
Qingtan's pretty face was full of doubt and shock. She had clearly examined Lin Fan's condition before. Although his body was not injured, his soul was severely injured and even cracked!
But right now, in her perception, Lin Fan's injuries have not only healed, but his aura is even stronger than before!
"Ah."
Lin Fan smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for risking your life to save me. I will remember this kindness."
Qingtan solemnly clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lin Fan.
"It would be a waste of such a beauty as you to die at the hands of that despicable Demon Emperor."
"Besides, you are Lin Jing's aunt. If I stand by and do nothing, this girl will come after me later."
Lin Fan smiled.
Hearing him say that, Lin Jing's pretty face flushed slightly. She glared at Lin Fan, but did not deny it.
"Is it just because of Jing'er...?"
Qingtan's expression darkened slightly as this thought inexplicably surfaced in her mind. She quickly shook her head, suppressing the terrible idea.
"Let's go to the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum."
Lin Fan did not notice the subtle change in Qing Tan's expression and addressed the crowd.
Now that the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor has been dealt with, the greatest threat to the entire Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins has been eliminated, and there is nothing left to threaten him.
"What's wrong? Any new discoveries?!"
At this moment, Lin Fan saw that Mandala's petite body stopped in front of a huge skull.
The skull was shrouded in demonic energy, emanating an extremely dark and evil aura.
"Master..."
Mandala stretched out her delicate white hand, slowly approaching, murmuring to herself as her body trembled slightly.
"Master? This is... the remains of the Heavenly Emperor!?"
Not only Lin Fan was shocked, but Lin Jing and Qing Tan were also shocked.
This skull is filled with evil and cannot be associated with the revered and powerful Heavenly Emperor of ancient times!
However, Lin Fan quickly sensed something was wrong. A wisp of strange fire appeared in his palm and he threw it directly at the skull. The dark aura and demonic energy on it were quickly dispelled, and the skull turned into a crystal-clear luster like jade!
A gentle white light flickered, and the silhouette of a kind old man in a blue robe with white hair and beard appeared.
His appearance was exactly the same as that of the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, but his temperament was completely different. He was full of kindness, giving people a feeling of warmth and approachability.
"Mandala... It's so good that you're still alive..." The Heavenly Emperor's gaze immediately fell on Mandala, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Master!"
Tears welled up in Mandala's eyes as her petite body rushed toward the Heavenly Emperor, but she missed him and nearly fell. Fortunately, Lin Fan caught her in time.
“Child… I have long since perished; what remains now is merely a lingering consciousness.”
"Don't be sad, I still prefer the carefree you when you were a child."
"I can tell this little guy loves you very much. With him by your side, I can rest assured..."
The Heavenly Emperor gazed tenderly at Mandala and spoke words of comfort.
Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Emperor was traveling across the continent when he encountered a datura flower that was about to wither. He took pity on it and brought it back to the ancient Heavenly Palace, where he carefully cultivated and cared for it in the Heavenly Emperor's mausoleum.
Later, the mandala transformed into human form, becoming a cute little girl who stayed by the Heavenly Emperor's side.
The Heavenly Emperor treated her like a daughter and nurtured her with great care.
To outsiders, the Heavenly Emperor is the most powerful figure in the entire world, possessing unparalleled prestige and immense strength.
It's hard to imagine that he would act like a kind father in front of the mandala.
"Master..."
Mandala's tears flowed uncontrollably, instantly soaking Lin Fan's chest, as she murmured those two words repeatedly.
A cataclysmic event, tens of thousands of years of separation, and the reunion only to find the two separated by death—this kind of pain can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand.
"Your name is Lin Fan, right?"
The Heavenly Emperor shifted his gaze from the mandala and turned to look at Lin Fan.
"Junior Lin Fan greets Senior Heavenly Emperor."
Lin Fan respectfully clasped his hands in greeting. Whether it was for the sake of the mandala or because the Heavenly Emperor had perished while saving the Great Thousand Worlds, it was worthy of his respect.
"To achieve so much at such a young age is something I couldn't even begin to match back then."
"Moreover... I seem to sense a shadow of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones in you..."
The Heavenly Emperor's face showed an extremely surprised expression.
The One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique was created by him personally and has never been passed on to anyone. So how did Lin Fan, a young man in his thirties, obtain it?
"This is a supernatural power that I created after gaining some insight during a cultivation session..."
As Lin Fan spoke, his figure seemed to daze for a moment, and then two identical clones separated from his main body.
The "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" was his reward after completing the system task. He never expected to meet the real person here today!
However, Lin Fan naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he could only make things up. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to lie without batting an eye, and the Heavenly Emperor didn't notice anything amiss.
"You figured it out on your own? You can't just be called a genius, you're practically a monster!"
For the first time, the Heavenly Emperor's expression underwent a dramatic change.
When he created the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he was already at the Heavenly Supreme level and over a thousand years old. Moreover, he spent a hundred years repeatedly honing his skills before creating the complete One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
Lin Fan, a young man in his early thirties, was able to comprehend this in a single moment of enlightenment, making the Heavenly Emperor seem somewhat incompetent in comparison.
"So this can be considered fate between us. Your One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones has not yet reached its peak. Today, I will pass on the complete One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to you." (End of this chapter)
