Chapter 139 The Gatekeeper!
Zhang Fan came behind the statue and saw a staircase!
At the end of the stairs is a door. I don’t know what material the door is made of, and there is a big tree carved on it.

This tree looked very familiar to Zhang Fan, as if he had seen it somewhere.

“This is Jianmu!”

Zhang Fan suddenly realized that the tree above the door was exactly the same as the Jianmu tree growing in his yard!
"Could the first floor of this temple be related to Jianmu?"

Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and pressed on the door. The door rippled like water waves, and his hand went straight through.

“I can get in!”

According to Mao Du, as long as you pass the first three tests, you will be qualified to bind this temple!
Therefore, Zhang Fan is qualified to accept the test of the first level of the temple!

This door won't stop him!

"I wonder what's behind the door?"

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and walked straight through the door engraved with Jianmu. A whole new world appeared before his eyes!

At first glance, you can see an endless grassland with green grass covering the entire mountain and full of vitality.

A clear river flows through the grassland with gurgling water.

At the end of the field of vision, you can see three towering trees.

These three trees are so huge!
Their tree canopies spread out and cover the entire sky!
"Is this the first floor of the temple?" Zhang Fan was secretly shocked.

He had guessed what the first floor of the temple looked like, but he never expected that it would be such a vast space!

How big is this space?
Zhang Fan couldn’t judge, but with his eyesight, he couldn’t see the end!
A few hundred kilometers at least?
"and many more!"

"This is……"

Zhang Fan closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them and exclaimed, "Such a rich innate Qi!"

"Is the innate Qi here so dense?"

Zhang Fan looked around, his face full of disbelief.

The air is filled with extremely rich innate Qi!
How rich is it?

Up to now, the innate Qi in Greenland Mansion is very rich, more than ten times that of normal areas!
But it can't compare to here!
Zhang Fan took a deep breath, and a large amount of innate qi rushed into his lungs, and all the pores in his body opened up!
"The innate Qi here is at least several hundred times that of Greenland Mansion!"

Zhang Fan was extremely excited: "If I could practice here, wouldn't my practice speed be so fast?"

"Shh!"

Just when Zhang Fan was excited, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and looked at Zhang Fan calmly.

This is a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes. His body shape is no different from that of an Earthling, and he is even a little thin.

"It's been 5000 years, I didn't expect someone to come here again!"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Fan and said, "He is still a little fellow in the Jindan realm!"

"Hello, senior!"

Zhang Fan bowed respectfully.

"You're welcome!"

The thin middle-aged man said: "I am the gatekeeper of the first level. As long as you defeat me, you will pass the test!"

Zhang Fan was shocked and looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him.

Defeat him?
Can you pass the test?

Can you bind to the first layer by yourself and become the master of the first layer?

Zhang Fan's heart was burning with excitement, and he felt eager to try it out.

However, when passing the third level test, Zhang Fan’s physical strength was completely exhausted and he was in urgent need of rest.

"Senior, can you give me some time to recover?"

Zhang Fan said respectfully.

"what ever!"

The thin middle-aged man said calmly: "You have obtained the qualifications to challenge me. You can challenge me at any time!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Zhang Fan took a few sips of the sacred tree juice, then sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing.

After more than an hour, Zhang Fan adjusted his condition to the best.

"Senior, I want to challenge you!"

"Go ahead!"

The thin middle-aged man said calmly.

Zhang Fan nodded, and with a thought, a shadow clone appeared.

"Go try your hand!"

Zhang Fan gave the order, and the shadow clone immediately pounced on the thin middle-aged man.

"Clone?"

The skinny middle-aged man didn't move at all. He looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Your innate magical power is to create shadow clones?"

"No!"

"It should be more than that!"

"Otherwise, with your Jindan realm cultivation, you wouldn't be able to get here!"

"Senior's insight!"

Zhang Fan smiled. He really couldn’t get here relying solely on his shadow clone!
"kill!"

The shadow clone flew out and with a wave of his hand, a fireball condensed from the sun's true fire hit the thin middle-aged man.

"True Sun Fire? This is the magical power of the Sun God Bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow!"

The thin middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised. He did not dodge, but opened his mouth and sucked fiercely. A terrifying suction force came out of his mouth, and the Sun True Fire that shot towards him was directly sucked into his mouth and disappeared.

“Eat…eat?”

Zhang Fan was stunned. It was the first time he saw such a fierce man. He could even swallow the sun's true fire in one bite?
Aren’t you afraid of being burned to death?

"Come again!"

The shadow clone continued to attack, using earth balls, stone bullets, golden swords, annihilation dragon breath, and purple spirit fire...

The shadow clone did not hide anything and used various attacks in turn.

The solution for skinny middle-aged people is very simple, which is... eat!

Be it a golden sword, a flame, or whatever attack you use...

All of them are stuffy!

"What kind of magical power is this?"

Zhang Fan was stunned: "A glutton? Such a big eater?"

Little did he know that the skinny middle-aged man was also very surprised. He stared at Zhang Fan and asked, "How many magical powers do you have?"

"The younger generation does have more magical powers, but they are not as powerful as the older generation!"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Any attack, just eat it!"

"I now seriously doubt whether you are a glutton?"

"Yes! I am Taotie!"

The skinny middle-aged man made a shocking statement: "My body is a world of its own. Any matter or energy swallowed into my stomach will be digested by me!"

"Therefore, your ordinary attacks can't hurt me at all!"

The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that this gatekeeper was actually a glutton!

Since he is a Taotie, his innate magical powers are almost clear!

Next up!
It’s time for the general attack!
"Senior, I'm going to get on!"

Zhang Fan gave a reminder and created more than a dozen shadow clones in one breath.

"it's useless!"

The thin middle-aged man shook his head: "No matter how many shadow clones you create, if you can't restrain my devouring magic, you can't beat me!"

Zhang Fan did not refute. He waved his hand and more than a dozen shadow clones dispersed and surrounded the thin middle-aged man.

"launch!"

Zhang Fan snapped his fingers.

"Time Field!"

More than a dozen shadow clones shouted in unison and activated their magical powers of time.

"Om-"

The terrifying time fluctuations spread, instantly enveloping the thin middle-aged man.

"Time stands still!"

The shadow clones stopped the thin middle-aged man's time, and the thin middle-aged man instantly froze in place, motionless!

"No matter how strong your Devouring Magical Power is, you will eventually be defeated by the high-dimensional force of time!"

Zhang Fan whispered and created hundreds of shadow clones in one breath.

"Activate the Midas Touch!"

Zhang Fan gave the order: "Aim at his mouth and head!"

Hundreds of shadow clones responded in unison, then activated the Midas Touch, with golden beams shooting out of their eyes.

"Shhhhh-"

Hundreds of golden beams hit the thin middle-aged man's mouth and head.

But because time stood still for the thin middle-aged man, even if he had the Midas touch, his mouth and head would not have been transformed, because time doesn’t move!
"Remove time standstill!"

More than a dozen shadow clones immediately stopped time, and the thin middle-aged man's time flow returned to normal.

"boom--"

The Midas Touch quickly took effect and began to transform its mouth.

"Ok?"

The thin middle-aged man's mouth and head were immediately covered with dazzling gold, and then quickly transformed.

The thin middle-aged man tried to open his mouth, but found that his mouth became very stiff and soon lost consciousness.

Gradually, even my head became stiff and my consciousness became blurred.

The skinny middle-aged man stopped moving!
There are hundreds of shadow clones, and the innate Qi allocated to each of them is limited, and they cannot exist for a long time!
But when they used their innate magical powers, the power they unleashed in a short period of time was in no way inferior to Zhang Fan himself!

and so.

Hundreds of shadow clones simultaneously turned stone into gold, with unparalleled power, and the skinny middle-aged man couldn't stop it at all!
This is called the power of the group!

"Shh-"

Thin middle-aged disappeared.

"I've won, haven't I?"

Zhang Fan was a little worried.

"Shh-"

A small beast appeared out of nowhere.
