Chapter 998, Super Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family, Holy Land

Translator: Silavin

 

And so, Lu Fan made up his mind to go with Ye Wuxian to this Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family to see if they could obtain development rights to the Dungeon Instance, and incidentally see if there might be any possibility of acquiring some secrets about Ancient Gods.

 

This Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family was called the Situ Family, quite a renowned prestigious Family in the Western Border.

 

Among ordinary Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families, the Situ Family was a Top Tier behemoth.

 

One could imagine that for a Map Resource the Situ Family could not develop, once they publicly seek help from other Ancient Noble Families, they would receive an overwhelming response.

 

Firstly, the Dungeon Rewards were certain to be extremely generous. If they could really obtain a Legendary Grade item, it would be a windfall.

 

Secondly, this was also a good opportunity to establish relations with the Situ Family. If they could help the Situ Family develop this Dungeon Instance, even if they ultimately failed, it would still count as establishing a connection with the Situ Family.

 

In short, it was all benefits with no harm.

 

Although the Ye Family had a great reputation in the outer region of the Western Border, when truly compared to those Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families in its depths, they still fell considerably short, both in terms of size and comprehensive strength.

 

So, obtaining joint development rights to this Dungeon Instance would not be easy.

 

Ye Wuxian took the Situ Family’s public search for collaborators very seriously, immediately making preparations and planning to depart for the Situ Family at once.

 

Lu Fan naturally took on the role of being the ‘sedan carrier’, contributing his Divine Bone Clone as a Mount to carry the two of them to the Situ Family together.

 

It had to be said, the Divine Bone Clone was an exceptionally useful Mount.

 

Apart from his Pet Dragons, whenever he needed to carry others, it was definitely Lu Fan’s first choice.

 

Firstly, it was large enough. It could carry dozens of people without problem.

 

Secondly, its appearance was impressive enough, and its Level and strength were also high, intimidating most Monsters.

 

Whenever the Divine Bone Clone was present, most Monsters dare not approach, saving him from quite a lot of hassle.

 

Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian rode the Divine Bone Clone, traveling like this, flying high in the sky looking down at the magnificent scenery of the Western Border below. It felt quite pleasant.

 

The Western Border was vast. Without using Transport Arrays, even though the Divine Bone Clone’s flight speed was very fast, traveling to the Situ Family still took a full day and a half.

 

Soon, Lu Fan saw in the distance on a mountain peak a massive ‘Immortal’ manor situated at the summit, extremely grand and magnificent.

 

Such a manor left even Lu Fan speechless.

 

Originally, he’d thought the Ye Family Residence was already quite large. Looking across Dragon Country, who would not be amazed upon seeing the Ye Family Residence, feeling they had truly broadened their horizons?

 

And the Murong Family, as a First Tier Ancient Noble Family, naturally had a manor even more luxurious than the Ye Family’s.

 

However, no matter how luxurious the Murong Family’s manor was, it still had not made Lu Fan feel as inclined to exclaim in admiration as he did now.

 

There was no helping it. The Murong Family’s manor was indeed luxurious, but it still could not compare to the Situ Family’s manor.

 

Because their manor was not just large, it was wreathed in some kind of Immortal Energy.

 

A Spiritual Spring flowed directly from the manor, shimmering with seven-colored radiance.

 

Some pavilions and towers seemed to be carved from jade, somehow suspended in mid-air through unknown means. There were also some black jade-like stone steps, also suspended in the air, gently floating.

 

The entire Situ Family gave Lu Fan the feeling of seeing descriptions of Holy Lands from cultivation novels he had read in his previous life on Blue Star. Everywhere exuded Immortal Energy!

 

By comparison, whether the Ye Family or the Murong Family, they were merely luxurious. But the Situ Family had directly ascended to Immortality!

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s extremely surprised expression, Ye Wuxian covered her mouth and laughed lightly. “I never thought I’d see such an expression on your face. With your strength, you must already far surpass Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families. Yet seeing their residence, you’re actually this surprised.”

 

Lu Fan came back to his senses and laughed. “How could I not be surprised? These Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families have a completely different style from other Ancient Noble Families. I originally thought residences that are like Holy Lands only existed in novels. I never imagined that in the Western Border, they truly exist.”

 

“Holy Land?” Ye Wuxian shook her head. “The Situ Family is only a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family. They don’t count as a Holy Land. Those who can truly be called Holy Lands are the Super Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Families. When mentioning their headquarters, those are really something.”

 

Hearing this, Lu Fan became interested. “These so-called Holy Lands are even more impressive? What makes them so impressive?”

 

Ye Wuxian said helplessly, “I’ve never been there so how would I know? Anyone who casually comes out from these Holy Lands has a status in the outside world comparable to the Patriarch of a First Tier Ancient Noble Family. Very few people can establish connections with them, let alone have anyone able to enter their Holy Land to look around. Perhaps only the Situ Family Patriarch barely has that qualification. Even as the Matriarch of a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, I am still far from that level.”

 

After a pause, Ye Wuxian lifted her head slightly, as if imagining something mysterious. “I have heard that every Holy Land is massive beyond measure, situated within a Secret Realm. And the size of each Secret Realm is almost as large as an entire city. Within them, anyone with any status lives in places similar to this Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family’s headquarters, like something out of legend. As for where their Patriarch lives, it’s even more of a blessed paradise. Just being there without doing anything allows one to gain Experience Points and Attributes. The speed of how strong they get doing nothing is even faster than others constantly hunting Monsters outside.”

 

Hearing this, Lu Fan said in surprise, “Doesn’t that mean the Patriarchs of those Holy Lands are perpetually increasing in strength?”

 

“Yes,” Ye Wuxian said. “Otherwise, how would they have the ability to protect such enormous Families? Of course, the resources such a place consumes every moment is also extremely terrifying. But within these so-called Holy Lands, they have many people gathering resources. So, resources are extremely abundant. At the very least, enough to support such a place for the Patriarch to reside in.”

 

“Of course, this is all just what I’ve heard.” Ye Wuxian stuck out her tongue. “What Holy Lands are actually like can only be known by going there. What I just said might just be like a peasant saying the Emperor plows fields with a golden hoe. The reality of Holy Lands might be even more terrifying than we imagine.”

 

Lu Fan thought about it and agreed. Since Holy Lands were so impressive, outsiders like him and Ye Wuxian would probably find it very difficult to learn what the interior of a so-called Holy Land was actually like.
