My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

For Xu Fan, traveling ninety million kilometers was not arduous at all.

When he reached the end, the Great Dao had turned into a region of death, and no creatures survived the disaster.

Without looking back, Xu Fan headed to the next level, waving his hand.

The Death Insects hovering in the sky above the Great Dao all self-destructed, forming one after another gorgeous Soul Flame fireworks.

The Little Light Snake, looking at the Soul Flame fireworks in the sky over the Dao, suddenly held a hint of fear in its eyes.

"Before I came in, I had probed that it definitely wouldn't be the Great Power Reincarnation, Heavenly Venerate, Immortal Emperor, or the Fallen Restructure of the Saint."

"Everything is within expectations." The Little Light Snake said, encouraging itself.

At this moment, Xu Fan ahead suddenly turned around.

Without realising, the Little Light Snake shuddered as its eyes met Xu Fan's - those deep eyes that could peer through everything in the world and see one's heart.

"You, that spiritual body of yours, can feel cold?" A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Xu Fan's mouth.

"Haha, your divine power scared me. I didn't expect you to be massacring Nascent Soul Demonic Beasts right in the Foundation Establishment Stage," the Little Light Snake said incredulously.

"These are just some trifling tricks that are not worth mentioning," Xu Fan said dismissively with a wave of his hand, and then he moved to the next level.

In the following period, Xu Fan easily overcame the first 12,000 steps. None of the checkpoints could stop him.

At the same time, the more Xu Fan overcame, the deeper the doubt in his eyes.

"Congrats on getting past the first 12,000 steps. Once you enter the next one, you will become a recorded disciple of the Lord of Light and Time, and have the chance to inherit the whole Heritage Land," The Little Light Snake said excitingly on the side.

"Can I leave now?" Xu Fan suddenly asked, having a slight guess as to the purpose of the Lord of Light and Time setting this inheritance here.

"You can leave, but keep in mind that once you leave, you wouldn't be able to return. So you would need to exchange all of your points for treasures before leaving," said the Little Light Snake.

"Then, what if I proceed to the next level? Do I still have the chance to leave?" Xu Fan asked after pondering for a while.

"Of course, you can. After you reach 24,000 steps, you will have the chance to choose to leave."

"However, I believe that no cultivator in the Immortal World would refuse to become a disciple of the Heavenly Venerate. I believe you will know how to choose at that point."

The Little Light Snake then proceeded to list the benefits of becoming a disciple of the Lord of Light and Time.

"Two Innate Spirit Treasures, the complete inheritance of cultivation techniques and divine abilities from the Lord of Light and Time, and the sense of the Great Dao. After you complete the tasks assigned by the Lord of Light and Time, you may even be given the Lord of Light and Time's Primordial Treasure, the Wheel of Time Realm", Xu Fan repeated, touching his chin.

"Master, both the Innate Spirit Treasures and the Primordial Treasure can be traced."

"While exploring further, I beg you to be cautious," Pu Tao's voice resonated in Xu Fan's heart.

Finally, Pu Tao listed hundreds of possible futures arising from the purpose of the Lord of Light and Time's setting up of this Heritage Land.

Xu Fan glanced at the prediction with the highest probability.

"Accept the causality of being a master, obscure the mechanism of the Three Thousand Worlds, and transfer all the powers of causality onto me."

"Taking on the causality for the Lord of Light and Time seems expected. Therefore, before I am sure about it, I must not officially become a disciple of the Lord of Light and Time," Xu Fan decided.

Considering his current strength, even if he becomes a Golden Immortal, he should be extremely cautious with anything related to the Heavenly Venerate, prioritizing stability as always.

Therefore, Xu Fan decided to leave this controversial place after passing the 24,000 steps.

"Have you decided?"

"Are you going to continue or leave now?" the Little Light Snake asked nearby.

"Of course, I will continue. I was just thinking about the leisure life after becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Venerate, and I felt a little out of control for a while," Xu Fan responded to the Little Light Snake with a sincere smile.

"When I become a disciple of the Heavenly Venerate and inherit the entire Heritage Land, we will be partners from then on."

"Please teach me a lot."

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he walked into the next barrier.

At the 12,001st step, the gatekeeper turned out to be someone who looked exactly like Xu Fan.

"From this point till the front of the 24,000th step, your opponents will all be yourself, or rather, you during the barrier challenge," the Little Light Snake explained.

"Step by step challenging one's own limits, interesting."

At this moment, both the real Xu Fan and the guarding Xu Fan had power equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Looking at his powered-up previous self before the barrier challenge, Xu Fan first laughed, and then a large hand appeared below that Xu Fan's feet.

The mist of blood burst open, and the 12,001st stair was crossed.

At this moment, Xu Fan felt that a mysterious energy had integrated into his body.

"The remaining stages are not simple at all. They want to replace me bit by bit through this kind of method."

"By the time I become a formal disciple of the Lord of Light and Time, I have become a puppet substitute for the Lord of Light and Time."

"This calculation is too precise. If I had not mastered the Death, Life, and Destiny Three Great Daos, I might have fallen into the trap."

Hiding all these realizations, Xu Fan acted as if he didn't know anything and continued to break through the remaining barriers.

After that, under the increasingly shocked gaze of the Little Light Snake, Xu Fan easily overcame the rest of the challenge as if he were walking on level ground.

One after another, the incarnations of Xu Fan could not withstand a single move from the real Xu Fan.

However, when these incarnations wanted to test if Xu Fan had mastered the Dao of Life and Destiny, Xu Fan intentionally hid a hand.

This made Little Light Snake, who had been in a state of shock by the side, breathe a sigh of relief.

As more hurdles deepened, the Little Light Snake became more at ease.

When it was nearly the 24,000th step, Xu Fan had been 80% replaced.

Theoretically, Xu Fan's current physical body and Immortal Soul no longer belonged to him but were controlled by this Heritage Land.

Seeing Xu Fan's increasingly numb expression, the Little Light Snake became more and more delighted.

"The task that the Heavenly Venerate entrusted to me has finally found a suitable candidate. As long as I can complete the task, I can return to the embrace of the Heavenly Venerate." Tears welled up in the Little Light Snake's eyes as it spoke.

It remembered it had been the Heavenly Venerate's first beloved pet. Unfortunately, it encountered Little Jade Pool in the Outer World, or else it wouldn't have ended up being abandoned here, waiting to set up the array.

Steps 23,997, 23,998, 23,999, and 24,000.

Once Xu Fan had crossed the 24,000th step, he had been entirely replaced, with only a trace of Origin in his Immortal Soul remaining.

"Okay, once you pass the stages behind, you can officially become a disciple of the Lord of Light and Time." The Little Light Snake said calmly, its words no longer polite as before.

"I want to exchange some treasures first," Xu Fan said dully.

"Alright~" The Little Light Snake took it as the trace of obsession left by Xu Fan's last bit of Origin.

No matter how much he satisfied it, it didn't harm the essential part. After all, Xu Fan was eventually going to become the puppet replacement for the Lord of Light and Time.

A light curtain appeared, Xu Fan traded all his points for a Time Heavy Treasure, instantly clearing the stocks in the Heritage Land. Continue your saga on empire

With the remaining points, Xu Fan traded for one Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

"Alright, you can go to challenge the stages behind after finishing the points exchange," The Little Light Snake said.

At this moment, Xu Fan, who had originally dull eyes, regained his clarity, he looked at the Little Light Snake and smiled faintly: "please get me out~"
