Chapter 221: The Eleventh Disciple - Shi Hao! Promotion to a Second-Class Sect? (Part 1)
The Ancient Ten Monstrosities were all incredibly formidable beings.
Even Willow Deity would not dare to overlook them.
The techniques of the Ten Fiends were all Unmatched Techniques.
However, it was unexpected to witness them in Lin Fan's possession.
"Willow Deity, you are knowledgeable and experienced."
Lin Fan praised, "The Qilin Technique was obtained by our sect through a stroke of luck, and we have its complete inheritance. In the future, if Xiao Budiandian joins our sect and has an interest, as well as suitable talent, he can learn the perfect Qilin Technique."
"In addition, we also have some True Dragon Treasure Art, but it's not yet perfect. However, the True Dragon Fist is flawless."
"With time, I believe we can also perfect the True Dragon Treasure Art."
Currently, the Moon Embrace Sect has two true dragons!
Although Ao Bing is a bit 'watered down' and his bloodline inheritance hasn't awakened yet, it's due to his innate deficiencies. With more nurturing, there should be improvements.
For example, the True Dragon Fist has already been 'transmitted'.
According to Ao Bing, it appeared in his mind after waking up, and he can't forget it.
The perfect True Dragon Treasure Art is within reach!
"In that case, the Moon Embrace Sect is indeed impressive."
Willow Deity was already leaning towards agreement.
Letting Xiao Budiandian join the Moon Embrace Sect?
Just having the Seventy-Two Transformations Technique and the Qilin Technique is already worth it!
Moreover, they also have the True Dragon Treasure Art?
Just as she was about to agree, she saw Lin Fan disperse the Qilin Technique, and as he raised his right hand, an astonishingly high temperature spread out, like a miniature sun...
"Artificial Sun Fist."
"Willow Deity, you probably haven't seen this technique before. Its temperature is extremely high, and as one's cultivation grows, its power and temperature will also increase. It's not difficult to defeat opponents of higher realms, and it can also be called an Invincible Technique."
Willow Deity remained silent, but she was deeply moved.
She could naturally defend against this technique.
But this was the Immortal Martial Continent!
If Xiao Budiandian learned this technique and didn't cause too much trouble, he would have few opponents.
"Indeed, it's an Invincible Technique."
Willow Deity was surprised.
The Moon Embrace Sect, she had never heard of this sect.
This meant that, at least in the upper realm, there was no such sect, and even if it existed, it wasn't a powerful sect, not a major upper realm sect.
Yet, this sect from the Immortal Martial Continent, without any background, possessed so many Invincible Techniques and Unmatched Techniques?
Before Willow Deity could understand, Lin Fan continued, "I don't know if he likes the Sword Dao. If he does... our sect also has some Sword Dao inheritance."
He smiled.
With a lift of his hand, various top-notch sword intents and sword techniques from the Spirit Sword Sect filled the air.
Then, he demonstrated the Ethereal Sword Technique.
The Ethereal Sword Intent, with its 'All Things Become Swords' aura, swept through, causing even Willow Deity to be moved.
"In addition, there are also some other techniques."
"For example, a speed-type Invincible Technique, although it's not yet perfect, its speed is quite impressive."
Whoosh!
He moved like a teleport, appearing in the distance and returning instantly.
"I call it the 'Walking Secret', but it still needs further refinement."
"There are also Invincible Techniques for increasing combat power."
"There are those with more restrictions, like the Nine Transformations of Immortal Flame, and there are also techniques like Thought Flower Bloom, Overlord World, Three Thousand Mini Worlds, Unceasing Heavenly Art, and various other Invincible Techniques and Invincible Arts..."
With each name Lin Fan recited, he would demonstrate it with a wave of his hand.
Although it was only a fleeting display.
However, Willow Deity was no ordinary person.
Even with just a glimpse, she could see through its essence and understand its power.
This was...
The Tyrant Empress's technique.
Willow Deity was indeed powerful, but the Tyrant Empress was no weaker, and might even be a few levels stronger.
The Tyrant Empress's techniques were naturally extraordinary.
Even though it was in its initial stages, far from its peak, one must not forget that this was the Immortal Martial Continent, not the Immortal Realm.
Witnessing such Invincible Techniques and Unmatched Arts in the Immortal Martial Continent was indeed astonishing.
Even Willow Deity was shocked.
Moreover, this shock was significant.
And it didn't end there.
After this 'demonstration', Lin Fan continued, "Of course, these Invincible Techniques and Unmatched Arts are not all suitable for Xiao Budiandian.
"Furthermore, I will guide him based on his chosen path and help him create his own Invincible Arts and Invincible Techniques."
"I wonder, what do you think?"
"..."
"Good!"
Willow Deity agreed.
Even she was shocked and believed that these Invincible Arts and Invincible Techniques could even help her. What reason was there to not let Xiao Budiandian join and learn them?
Learning these techniques would greatly benefit Xiao Budiandian.
It would provide him with tremendous assistance, and this was undeniable.
"However, I have a condition."
"Please, tell me."
Lin Fan raised his hand, signaling Willow Deity to continue.
"I will teach you my technique, and when the time is right, you will pass it on to him."
"During this time, the Moon Embrace Sect must protect his path."
"And when the Moon Embrace Sect can no longer teach him, he will come to me and follow my cultivation."
Willow Deity...
Never once underestimated Xiao Budiandian.
Even if his current performance was impressive, she believed that after a period of time, Xiao Budiandian would no longer benefit from the Moon Embrace Sect.
Lin Fan sighed inwardly, "Thank you, Willow Deity."
Willow Deity's agreement might not require thanks, but passing on 'her technique' to him? That deserved gratitude, and even more appreciation.
"Go."
Willow Deity whispered, "But be careful."
"In the future..."
She didn't finish.
Lin Fan was confused, he didn't like riddles, but if Willow Deity didn't explain, he could guess a few things. He also didn't like forcing others, so he asked, "What are your plans, Willow Deity?"
"To bring Stone Village into seclusion."
Willow Deity didn't hide, "The Golden Age is a prosperous era, but also a calamity."
"Stone Village is too weak, with too many connections, and it's not suitable to stay."
"I need to recover as well."
She didn't want to be too far away, so she extended a section of illusory willow branch, and Lin Fan understood, reaching out with his fingertips to touch it.
Boom!
In that instant of contact, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.
Lin Fan almost stumbled and fell.
The profound and powerful Willow Deity Technique was now etched into his heart.
I can...
But I haven't mastered it yet.
I still need to cultivate.
The Willow Deity Technique was also an 'Invincible Technique', and even more so, it far surpassed most other Invincible Techniques!
"What a pity..."
Amidst his excitement, there was also a hint of regret.
"The Willow Deity is, after all, a plant spirit, not a human."
"Although humans can cultivate her technique, they cannot make it their primary cultivation method. It can only be used as an 'Invincible Technique'."
"Thank you."
Lin Fan expressed his gratitude once more and took out all the Revitalization Pills he had with him. He crushed them and mixed the spiritual liquid, pouring it over the Willow Deity.
The Willow Deity didn't hesitate or refuse.
She also needed strength and a quick recovery.
She could recover on her own, but since Lin Fan was no longer an outsider, there was no need for hesitation.
The sooner he recovered some strength, the sooner he could feel at ease.
Buzz...
The Willow Deity released divine light.
The small willow branch, with only one leaf, began to grow slowly, and then...
After absorbing all the spiritual liquid and the effects of the Revitalization Pills, the Willow Deity had grown three willow branches.
The branches drooped, their leaves a lush green, as if carved from immortal jade, emitting a divine glow, an extraordinary sight.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator."
Afterward, the Willow Deity also thanked him.
Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
At the same time, a sense of respect arose in his heart.
He didn't know the background of the Willow Deity in this world, but if it was the Willow Deity from the original story... she carried too much on her shoulders.
Such an existence deserved respect!
Not to be desecrated.
...
"What's your name?"
Seeing Little Budiandian again, Lin Fan smiled and asked.
"Shi Hao!"
"Shi Hao?"
Lin Fan nodded, "That's right, Shi Hao!"
He had thought about it for a long time—what should the template of the Young Emperor of the Wasteland be named in this world? But in the end, he decided that the Young Emperor... should be named Shi Hao!
Number ten!
"Let's go, follow me back to the Moon Embrace Sect."
"But... Master, what about Elder Village Head and the others?"
"The Willow Deity will take care of them."
"Then... does our sect have beast milk?"
"Yes!"
"Can we eat demon beast meat?"
"Yes!"
"Is it delicious?"
"..." Lin Fan paused, "There's the legendary Eight Treasures, one of the ancient eight treasures, the incredibly delicious Eight Treasures Chicken."
"Eight Treasures Chicken?!"
Little Budiandian's eyes lit up, and his mouth watered, "Is it the legendary Eight Treasures Chicken, one of the ancient eight treasures, known for its exquisite taste?"
"Yes, and there's also Eight Treasures Duck."
"Can I eat it?"
"No." Lin Fan crushed Little Budiandian's fantasy.
"Ah?!"
Little Budiandian cried out.
Seeing this, Lin Fan almost burst out laughing.
Perhaps, in the future, he would indeed be the Young Emperor who dominated eternity, the one who reflected upon all paths and stood above all.
But in the end, this little guy was just a milk-drinking foodie.
Buzz...
After walking a certain distance, the Willow Deity unleashed her divine power!
The willow branch extended, encircling a large area of the Great Wasteland, and then, with a boom, the entire Stone Village and a portion of the Great Wasteland disappeared, hidden from the world.
"Willow Deity, Elder Village Head..."
Little Budiandian wiped his tears.
Lin Fan rubbed his spiky little head and said, "Let's go."
"We'll meet again in the future."
"You, just grow up well."
"Try to become a towering figure, someone who can make everyone look up to you the next time we meet, okay?"
"Yes!"
"I will!"
"..."
Whoosh...
Just then, a green light descended.
Little Budiandian reached out to catch it and found that it was a section of a willow branch, vibrant green, with a rich life force, almost like a living thing...
"A gift from the Willow Deity."
"Keep it safe, and take it out only when you encounter a crisis that you can't handle."
"Yes, Master."
Little Budiandian quickly put it away.
Then, master and disciple set off on their journey home.
To avoid any unforeseen events, Lin Fan didn't delay.
With Little Budiandian by his side, they hurried back to the Southwest Region and returned to the Moon Embrace Sect at the fastest speed possible.
...
Two months passed.
The Moon Embrace Sect was as usual, with no major events happening, but everyone was stronger than before.
Naturally, not everyone in the sect could be a genius.
But...
With ample cultivation resources and various powerful cultivation techniques, they could all reach their 'limit' in the shortest time!
And those who were accepted into the Moon Embrace Sect had high potential and would never have a low 'limit'.
So, even though it had only been two months,
Almost all the disciples showed noticeable improvement.
Hmm...
Except for Fan Jiang Gang.
This guy was still clinging on.
He was so persistent that even Lin Fan's scalp went numb.
It's worth mentioning that after the Fire Virtue Sect's alchemy disciples merged with the Alchemy Pavilion, some of the talented ones, under Xiao Ling Er's guidance for the past two months, were now able to gradually start refining high-quality pills.
Perhaps they weren't high-tier pills,
But low-tier pills were also essential.
However, on this year's annual open-door day, there were no 'unexpected surprises'.
Everything went according to plan.
The Great Elder and the others recruited some disciples but didn't find any 'main character' candidates.
But Lin Fan wasn't worried.
He didn't lose heart.
Since he had brought back the Young Emperor template, why worry about not finding the main character template?
...
"Wow!"
"Master, is this the Moon Embrace Sect?"
"So beautiful!"
"So powerful!"
A new arrival.
Gazing upon the peaceful and prosperous sight of the Moon Embrace Sect, disciples soared through the sky on swords or rode upon auspicious clouds. Little One was thrilled by this wondrous scene.
After all, he was still a child.
At this moment, his heart was filled with childlike curiosity.
Witnessing such a magnificent sight, it was truly difficult to remain calm.
"Let's go!"
Giving the boy a pat on the head, Lin Fan took him flying towards the Moon Embrace Palace. "I'll introduce you to your senior brothers and sisters. If I'm not around in the future, you can seek their help for any matters."
"But you mustn't cause trouble."
As he spoke, Lin Fan savored the 'magical' sensation, his heart filled with 'restless excitement'.
This was the future Young Emperor of the Wasteland!
He had even patted the boy's head himself!
The sensation was crisp, the sound was clear, and it was quite pleasant.
A good head makes for good hearing.
Little Stone rubbed his forehead, grumbling but also feeling excited.
"Senior brothers and sisters?"
...
Moments later, they arrived at the Purple Mansion.
Little Stone met his senior brothers and sisters, but unfortunately, Qin Yu and Xu Fenglai were not present.
Qiu Yong Qin had also left.
However, Xiao Ling Er, Wang Teng, Ya Ya, and others warmly welcomed Little Stone, each presenting him with precious gifts, deeply touching his heart.
Among them...
When Fan Jian Gang learned Little Stone's true name, he was stunned.
He almost sat down with a thud and remained dazed.
Even after Little Stone completed the apprenticeship ceremony and was led by Xiao Ling Er and the others to find his own cave abode and Spirit Mountain, Fan Jian Gang still hadn't recovered.
He sat there in a daze, his soul lost, his face filled with despair, muttering, "It's over, it's really over!"
"Isn't this certain death?"
"Other main character templates, I can understand, those bosses are powerful, but there's still a glimmer of hope."
"But the Young Emperor of the Wasteland's boss... It's highly likely to be a super-enhanced version. Isn't this certain death?"
"Certain death, without a doubt!"
"Oh dear, this is truly certain death."
"What should we do? What can we do?"
"..."
Listening to his grumbling, Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
"What are you rambling about? Why are you acting like it's certain death?"
"There's only you and me here, how long will you keep up the act?"
"This is not an act!"
However, Fan Jian Gang stood up, his expression solemn. "I'm serious. That's the Young Emperor of the Wasteland template!"
"It's highly likely to be a super-enhanced version."
"How are we supposed to handle this?"
"Even if all of us combined our strength, we're no match for him. He's died countless times against those bosses! A mere breath from them, and we'd turn to ashes!"
"Perhaps..."
"Let's disband and hide quickly?"
"!!!"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "Enough from you!"
"Are you playing dead?"
"Yes, I've always been playing dead."
"Don't you know, Master?"
"You..."
Lin Fan was at a loss for words, smiling bitterly, "Go back to your Scripture Repository!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Waaah, Master, you're so mean. I'm just being cautious."
Lin Fan shook his head, "You've always been cautious, but you're not a pig."
"Moreover, even if we're dealing with the type of villainous boss from other main character templates, where could you hide? Even hiding in a mini-world wouldn't work, right?"
"That's true."
Fan Jian Gang sighed, "But why did you call me back, Master?"
"I wanted to ask you something."
Lin Fan waved his hand, creating a soundproof barrier. "Family matters stay within the family."
"With your cautious nature, your old-fashioned survival instincts, if there wasn't a special reason, you wouldn't have suddenly appeared, much less choose to become my disciple and join the Moon Embrace Sect."
"Especially since you knew I was also a transmigrator, it's even more impossible that you'd come over."
"So~"
"What made you, a cautious old-timer, come to my struggling Moon Embrace Sect and become my disciple?"
This question had been on Lin Fan's mind for a while.
But due to the other party's cautious nature, asking might not yield an answer, and previously, Lin Fan didn't consider it too 'urgent'. Other main character templates' final bosses weren't too 'overwhelming', so he had put it aside.
But with the Young Emperor of the Wasteland template appearing, Lin Fan felt a bit overwhelmed.
It wasn't that he was too worried, as other main character templates could support the Young Emperor of the Wasteland.
But in reality, it was still a bit difficult to handle.
So, he took this opportunity to ask.
Since the cautious old-timer chose to come over, there must be something about the Moon Embrace Sect that attracted him, right?
Otherwise, why would such an old-timer come over and even expose his identity as a cautious survivor?
"Sigh."
The cautious old-timer spread his hands, "It's actually quite simple."
"Master, you're the cautious type, right?"
You're not just cautious, you're overly cautious, aren't you?!
Lin Fan stared at him, waiting for an explanation.
But speaking of which, if this old-timer was on the other side, then he was indeed overly cautious. But if he was on Lin Fan's side... Lin Fan could only say, please be more direct!
"Speaking directly, when the Golden Age hadn't begun, and the heavenly secrets hadn't escaped, various divination techniques could be useful. Coincidentally, I'm also slightly familiar with divination techniques."
Heavenly Earth Great Derivation Technique is slightly familiar?
Billion Second, you're back!
Lin Fan didn't expose him and continued to stare at him.
Gou Sheng seemed to realize that continuing to keep him guessing was pointless, so he said, "Before the Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Grand Assembly, I had divined for myself numerous times.
