Fantasy: I, Who Can View The Script Of My Life, Can Be Arbitrary Forever

After entering, the reality of the secret realm was very different from what Zhang Fan had imagined.

He had expected it to be desolate and ancient, but instead, it was a lush forest.

Upon entering, someone approached Zhang Fan and took the initiative to explain things to him.

"I have seen Zhang Saint Child."

"Saint Child, I suspect you are wondering why this place is different from the rumored secret realm."

Zhang Fan nodded.

The person was dressed in silk and jade robes, clearly from a prominent family and knowledgeable.

He introduced himself as Zhao Xiaofeng, the son of one of the five major families in the Holy City of the Holy State.

After establishing a friendly relationship, he explained, "The secret realm is just a rumor. There are good and bad ones. Ancient ruins like this were probably devastated and filled with corpses in the past."

"But after years of erosion, the original remains have been buried deep underground. If Saint Child were to dig three feet into the ground, you would be able to see some ancient ruins."

"But don't be deceived by appearances. Even after the passage of time, ancient secret realms are still extremely dangerous. They hold opportunities, but also things that can harm lives."

"Some places without signs of life should never be approached. Those places have strange existences, where not even a blade of grass grows. Only elders dare to explore them. We must never go there."

Zhao Xiaofeng explained in great detail, clearly knowledgeable about the subject.

"I see. But if one wants to obtain opportunities, they have to go to those desolate places, right?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Saint Child, you don't have to. We are just ordinary people, and if we die, it's just a worthless life. But if something happens to you, it would be a big deal. You don't need to take risks for mere treasures. With your status, what do you lack?"

"And..."

Zhao Xiaofeng first flattered and then added a sentence.

"And what?" Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Saint Child, to be honest, from what I know, there are many outsiders here, and I'm afraid some of them want to harm you!"

"Outsiders?"

Zhang Fan furrowed his brow, guessing to some extent.

"Each major domain has its own undercover agents, especially places like the Holy Land. Every year during recruitment, some of them infiltrate to monitor intelligence. Some may even target disciples with exceptional talent and try to weaken their strength by killing them!"

"Now that Saint Child has appeared... I believe you understand what I mean."

Zhao Xiaofeng said seriously.

"Thank you for informing me, Brother Zhao."

Zhang Fan thanked him with a fist salute.

If this situation were true, he would have to be cautious.

After all, he was the Saint Child with a seven-layer talent, a rarity in the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land for thousands of years. If there were undercover agents, they would stop at nothing to kill him.

Although his cultivation at the Cave Mansion Realm's fourth level was decent, it would be difficult to fight against multiple opponents, especially since everyone here was a genius.

"Saint Child, you're too kind. Now that we've finished talking, I'll go look for treasures first."

Zhao Xiaofeng returned the salute and was also delighted to have made friends with Zhang Fan.

But completing the assessment was currently the priority, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Zhang Fan nodded.

Xiao Huo beside him looked serious. "Zhang Brother, if someone is really plotting against you, it would be extremely dangerous. It's better to find a place to hide until the assessment is over."

"No need. I'm not afraid. But you and Xiao Han might be in danger."

"It's best if we split up."

If he had known there would be such danger, he wouldn't have brought Xiao Han along. He had no intention of participating in the assessment in the first place.

He was just here to have fun.

Suddenly, Zhang Fan spoke to the air behind him, "Is Senior Brother here? Come out for a moment, I have something to ask."

The air behind him fluctuated slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, two disciples dressed in the Holy Land's attire walked out.

"Saint Child."

Zhang Fan saw that both of them were at the Cave Mansion Realm's ninth level, the highest level that this secret realm could accommodate.

"I didn't expect there would really be someone."

Zhang Fan just realized that Zhao Xiaofeng knows about the situation, so how could the Elder of the Holy Land not know? How could he let him take such a risk?

In the end, someone was sent in to protect him.

"Senior brothers, are you here to protect me?" Zhang Fan asked.

The two disciples at the Ninth Level of the Cave Mansion Realm looked at each other and then clasped their fists, saying, "Yes, Saint Child. But how did Saint Child know we were here?"

They were still quite shocked.

After all, Zhang Fan was only at the Fourth Level of the Cave Mansion Realm, yet he could sense their presence, who had stepped into the Divine Pill Realm.

"I guessed," Zhang Fan said with a faint smile.

Xiao Huo and Shao Han were also very shocked.

"Zhang Fan, if you can guess this, then even before entering the Holy Land, you must have known about the actions of the Holy Land," Shao Han said.

"Saint Child is exceptionally wise," the two disciples flattered slightly and asked, "What are your orders, Saint Child?"

"Xiao Han is my brother, for safety reasons, you go protect him," Zhang Fan said.

After all, among the three of them, only Xiao Huo was the one who came for the assessment.

The two disciples didn't hesitate and said directly, "No, our task is to protect the Saint Child."

"Alright, one of you can go protect my brother, and also, the future Saintess will be traveling with my brother, so it's not excessive to send one person," Zhang Fan said.

The two looked at each other and thought it was feasible. "We will follow Saint Child's orders."

Then, the two disappeared into the bushes.

This method of hiding their aura was probably specially cultivated by the Holy Land.

"Thank you, Zhang brother. I will take good care of Xiao Han," Xiao Huo said gratefully.

Although he still didn't quite understand why Zhang Fan insisted on splitting up, it was probably to reduce the danger.

He didn't think it was necessary, but he believed Zhang Fan had his reasons.

Zhang Fan nodded without saying much, took a few steps forward, and disappeared into the dense forest.

He remembered that Zhou Zhi had come this way.

Fortunately, they didn't waste too much time, and everyone was cautious in the ruins, not daring to move too fast.

Not long after, Zhang Fan saw Zhou Zhi's figure.

Of course, there were other disciples, but they weren't too far apart at the moment.

After an hour of traveling together, Zhang Fan gradually slowed down and followed Zhou Zhi from a distance.

During this time, he watched Zhou Zhi dig, excavate soil, and chop wood, until nightfall, without finding any treasures.

Zhang Fan was patient, didn't make a fire, and continued to monitor Zhou Zhi from afar.

The disciples secretly protecting Zhang Fan were very puzzled. What was Zhang Fan doing?

Wasn't he here to search for treasures? Why was he engaged in tracking people?

But they were only responsible for protecting Zhang Fan and wouldn't interfere with other matters.

And so, the next morning arrived.

Zhou Zhi searched for another day, until dusk, when he fiercely punched the tree bark.

"Damn it, it's been three days and I haven't found a single bird's droppings!"

He gritted his teeth and looked in the direction ahead.

It was dark and desolate over there, with no grass growing, belonging to the forbidden area recorded in the scriptures.

If it wasn't necessary, he would never go there. The books made it very clear.

"There's only one day left, I can only give it my all."

Zhou Zhi clenched his teeth and walked straight towards that direction.
