My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 79: First Tier, Iron-faced Man

"The Yan family?"

Li Hengsheng was somewhat surprised, Yan Yuyun?

This name seemed familiar, supposedly the daughter of the Patriarch Yan Botao!

"So it is the young lady of the Yan family." Li Hengsheng cupped his hands in salute.

His tone was unconsciously much more polite.

In terms of status alone, as a direct disciple, he didn’t care about the Yan family at all.

But his father was still working for them, so he had to maintain a good relationship. Otherwise, if the Yan family got displeased someday, they might kick his father out.

Li Hengsheng was afraid Li Changqing would revert to his former dissolute self.

"In the Mountain Ancient Land, I’m merely your Junior Sister." Yan Yuyun quickly said, he was a direct disciple, and she was just an outer disciple, how could she dare let Li Hengsheng salute her?

"You two seem... courteous." Lin Tong watched from the side, finding it somewhat strange.

Li Hengsheng, a splendid direct disciple, was being so polite to an outer disciple of Miaoyuan Peak?

"Is Junior Sister Yan also here to challenge the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion?"

As they walked inside, Li Hengsheng started chatting.

"No, I’m here to undergo the trial of the Ten Thousand Beasts Collection." Yan Yuyun said with a wry smile: "I attempted the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion once, and I never want to challenge it again, there’s simply no chance of victory."

"The Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion isn’t that simple." Lin Tong said with a smile: "Brother, you haven’t been here before, you wouldn’t know, but don’t think that just because Junior Sister Yuyun has reached the Postnatal Perfection Realm, it doesn’t mean she can pass even the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion — many in the same realm can’t."

"Postnatal Perfection can’t even defeat the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion?" Li Hengsheng was indeed somewhat shocked internally.

Logically, the guardian of this first layer should only be in the Postnatal Realm.

Yet, even those at Postnatal Perfection cannot contend with it.

Is it truly that fearsome?

At this moment, their view suddenly opened up as Yingxin Lake appeared before them.

On the shores near the lake, many people sat cross-legged, as if they were in meditation.

And on that Yingxin Lake, there stood a gigantic ancient tree, covering half of the sky, almost enveloping the entire lake.

The pink leaves made the scene even more picturesque.

And on both sides of Yingxin Lake, several great steles stood there.

"What’s that?" Li Hengsheng looked at the steles; there were three on the right and one on the left, all densely engraved with names.

"Those are rankings."

Yan Yuyun explained to Li Hengsheng: "The left one is the Ten Thousand Beasts List, corresponding to the trial results of the Ten Thousand Beasts Collection, and it changes constantly. The three rankings on the right correspond to the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion, namely the Mortal Realm List, Hidden Dragon List, and Celestial Human List."

"If disciples in the Transcendent Realm can pass the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion, then their names will appear on the Mortal Realm List."

"The Hidden Dragon List corresponds to Postnatal Martial Artists, and the Celestial Human List corresponds to the Innate Realm."

"Each list takes only the top hundred names. If the floor level is the same, then it ranks by the time of clearance." Yan Yuyun earnestly explained to Li Hengsheng.

"I see." Li Hengsheng curiously walked over, looking at the Mortal Realm List.

Among the four rankings, only the Mortal Realm List was sparsest, with just seven names on the massive stele.

All of them had passed only the first layer of the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion.

The top-ranking disciple was called Gu Lai.

The clearance time was thirteen breaths.

The others were mostly over twenty breaths.

"It’s said that Gu Lai was a genius disciple from Dao Mountain’s ancient times, four hundred years ago. The names on the Mortal Realm List are permanently preserved here, while the Hidden Dragon List and Celestial Human List will change according to your cultivation."

"For instance, if you are on the Hidden Dragon List, but once your cultivation steps from Postnatal into Innate, your name will vanish from the Hidden Dragon List and appear on the Celestial Human List."

Yan Yuyun explained beside Li Hengsheng.

Yan Yuyun felt that establishing a good relationship with Li Hengsheng was very important.

As the direct disciple at Miaoyuan Peak, backed by Xu Muhai.

Being able to cling to such support would tremendously benefit the Yan family.

Therefore, Yan Yuyun was very patient with Li Hengsheng.

Seeing the two of them conversing so amiably, Lin Tong decided not to be the third wheel and turned to walk towards the lake.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Yan, for the explanation." Li Hengsheng nodded, then turned to ask, "So how do I enter the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion?"

"It’s simple. Come to the lake’s edge at Yingxin Lake, sit down and comprehend the water, and you’ll naturally enter." Yan Yuyun said with a smile.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try." Li Hengsheng was eager to try.

Seeing Li Hengsheng’s appearance, like a child who found a new toy, Yan Yuyun smiled and even thought about how to comfort him after he would inevitably be overwhelmed soon.

"Then, Senior Brother Li, let’s do it together. I’ll also go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Collection for the trial."

"Okay."

The two sat cross-legged by the lake.

Suddenly, Li Hengsheng’s Divine Soul felt an attraction pulling him into Yingxin Lake.

The next moment, Li Hengsheng abruptly opened his eyes!

He found himself under the ancient tree in Yingxin Lake.

Li Hengsheng looked around; this was Yingxin Lake, almost indistinguishable, but he realized he was alone here.

This should be the world within Yingxin Lake.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Collection or the Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion, you have three challenges each; where do you want to go?" At this moment, a voice surprisingly came from the ancient tree, drifting into Li Hengsheng’s mind.

"The Nine-Layered Battle Pavilion." Li Hengsheng replied.

Swoosh!

As soon as the words fell, Li Hengsheng felt the whole world refreshed at that moment.

And he found himself in a desolate wasteland.

Everything in the surrounding scene felt so real.

The wind blew against his clothes, making them rustle, and when Li Hengsheng reached out to touch, he found the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear was still on him, which reassured him a lot.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng noticed a figure sitting on a rock not far away.

The person wore a cold iron mask, only showing a pair of eyes, very mysterious.

"Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer?"

The Iron-faced Man’s voice was a bit cold, but he didn’t seem too surprised by Li Hengsheng’s Cultivation Realm, possibly because there were likely many such reckless challengers. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He slowly extended his hand and drew a scimitar from behind.

Seeing him draw a saber, Li Hengsheng also twitched his wrist, and the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear appeared in his palm.

Even though the opponent hadn’t moved, Li Hengsheng felt as if a mountain was pressing on him.

This person was truly powerful!

"They say you’re strong, let me see just how strong!" Li Hengsheng grinned, the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear in his hand seemed already eager!

Li Hengsheng attacked with his full strength!

Overlord Immortal Spear Skill!

He thrust the spear, his blood and qi roared inside like a dragon!

The explosiveness of this thrust, Li Hengsheng dared to say, could not be blocked by anyone, even in the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer!

The spear, akin to volcanic eruption, aimed straight at the chest of the Iron-faced Man!

At this moment, the Iron-faced Man’s scimitar also moved.

A seemingly simple hand raise blocked Li Hengsheng’s explosive spear thrust directly.

Li Hengsheng’s immensely explosive thrust was easily obstructed.

Yet the Iron-faced Man remained unmovable.

Instead, the strength in his knife swing sent a shiver through Li Hengsheng’s arm, nearly knocking the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear out of his hand.

"What formidable power." Li Hengsheng was astounded; this person’s physical strength absolutely surpassed the typical Postnatal Realm.

"Oh?"

The Iron-faced Man was also a bit surprised, perhaps astonished that he hadn’t disarmed Li Hengsheng’s Immortal-Exitinguishing Spear with one strike.

For his opponent, just a Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm, to withstand a move?

"Boom!"

Li Hengsheng’s blood and qi surged again; the Overlord Immortal Spear was a spear skill of escalating power, and his second spear thrust had been unleashed, wanting to see how many strikes this Iron-faced Man could withstand.
