Chapter 271: Annihilation of An Lan! The Fall of the An Family! Three Immortal Techniques! (Part 2)
Chapter 271: Annihilation of An Lan! The Fall of the An Family! Three Immortal Techniques! (Part 2)
Only Lin Fan is an exception.
At this moment, he is carrying a pile of storage bags, all of which are filled with treasures from the An Family's first treasury, each with astonishing value. They are enough to rival the wealth of an ordinary top-tier sect! At least now, he can say that he doesn't care much about the three treasures.
"Lin Daoyou?"
Jiang Taixu was curious, "Why aren't you going to pick out treasures?"
"As for external objects, I don't lack them at the moment."
Lin Fan smiled, "But I'm more interested in techniques. I wonder if I can use the Jiang Family's techniques and secret arts as a substitute?"
"Oh?!"
Jiang Taixu hesitated slightly...
What are the foundation and heritage of an immortal ancient clan?
Immortal artifacts and heritage!
Especially powerful immortal artifacts, along with immortal techniques and skills!
Other external objects and resources can be earned or given.
But the clan's heirloom artifact and clan's heirloom technique... made Jiang Taixu hesitate.
Once these are taken out, or even if they become widespread...
Where will the Jiang Family's advantage lie?
Seeing his hesitation, Lin Fan took a sip of spiritual tea and smiled, "I wonder, has the Jiang Family Patriarch ever wondered why we can't find any clues related to us?"
"As if we appeared out of thin air?"
"To be honest, I'm quite curious too."
Lin Fan proactively changed the topic, and Jiang Taixu was happy to chat.
"It's not impossible for cultivators below the Eighth Stage to be untraceable, but for those above the Eighth Stage, especially White Daoyou and Yan Daoyou, not only are they at the Ninth Stage, but their strength is also astonishing..."
"It's definitely impossible to have no clues at all!"
Jiang Taixu was too curious!
Where did these people come from?!
They have no 'past', which is very suspicious!
"The Jiang Family Patriarch naturally can't find out." Lin Fan said softly, "We are not from this realm."
"!"
Jiang Taixu's pupils suddenly shrank, "From another realm?!"
"I'm not sure how you define the concept of 'realm', but to be precise, we are from another world."
"And before this, there was absolutely no connection between the two worlds."
"It's like that?!"
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Jiang Taixu was shocked, but he quickly chose to accept this explanation.
After all, there were no other possibilities.
Is the Ninth Stage like cabbage? Two such powerful individuals appeared, and there's not even a single clue?
Only visitors from other worlds would have such a situation!
At the same time, Jiang Taixu understood.
The reason Lin Fan shared this information with him and willingly revealed such secrets was to put him at ease. Even if the techniques and secret arts were passed on, they wouldn't affect the Jiang Family.
Since it's like this...
"I understand."
He nodded lightly, "Lin Daoyou can use our clan's techniques and secret arts as a substitute, but I ask that you promise not to pass on the chosen techniques and secret arts!"
"I won't pass them on externally, but I won't pass them on internally either." Lin Fan expressed his stance.
"To be honest, I am the sect master of a sect. The reason I chose techniques and secret arts is that I want to bring them back to my sect for inheritance."
"In that case... that's acceptable."
Jiang Taixu nodded, indicating his agreement.
As the sect master, he naturally wouldn't pass them on externally.
After all, their clan's techniques and secret arts aren't common goods. If they bring them back, they can be used as the sect's heirloom techniques. Who wouldn't want to keep them to themselves?
"Then thank you." Lin Fan smiled and bowed.
"Follow me, Daoyou."
"..."
...
Scripture Hall, top floor.
With a wave of Jiang Taixu's hand, the formation was removed.
Jade slips and light orbs floated in the air, each exuding an extraordinary aura.
"These are them."
Jiang Taixu smiled lightly, "Just touch them with your divine sense, and you'll get a preliminary understanding. Please, Daoyou."
"No need."
Lin Fan's gaze was burning as he looked at Jiang Taixu, "I already have something in mind."
Jiang Taixu was surprised.
"Daoyou... indeed has good taste."
"But, how do you know..."
The Dou Word Secret, he had used it before.
As for the Divine King Indestructible Body, if one has sufficient eye power or an astonishingly powerful pupil technique, they might be able to discern it.
But the Divine Prelude, he was still in the 'creation' stage, not yet perfected. How did he know about it?
This was too unbelievable!
Could he also know mind-reading techniques?
Lin Fan didn't care if he exposed anything, as he would soon return to the Immortal Martial Continent, and even if he did expose something, it was unlikely that there would be any further interaction in the future.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid.
Half-truthfully, half-falsely, he said, "My abilities are somewhat special."
"I understand."
Jiang Taixu nodded.
Since it was said to be special, it naturally couldn't be casually revealed.
The issue was, to give or not to give? He had already agreed, so he couldn't back out.
"Lin Daoyou, there's something I need to clarify with you first."
"The Dou Word Secret is a secret art I obtained by chance. Giving it to you is no problem."
"The Divine King Indestructible Body is also nearly perfected now, but it requires the Divine King Regeneration Technique to achieve the best effect. The Divine King Regeneration Technique is my personal divine technique and secret art, which cannot be passed on. If you choose the Divine King Indestructible Body... it's like choosing an incomplete technique."
"As for the Divine Prelude, it's still in the creation stage and not yet completed..."
"Are you sure you want to choose these?"
"Yes!" Lin Fan's attitude was resolute.
Lin Fan was well aware of what Jiang Taixu had said.
The Divine King Indestructible Body was an extremely powerful cultivation technique, and it was quite special.
It could be cultivated alongside ordinary Immortal cultivation techniques, and they would not interfere with each other, and might even reinforce each other!
When cultivating the Divine King Indestructible Body, one must use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the guide, with the essence of the sun and moon as a supplement, and various rare spiritual herbs and minerals. Through special breathing and bodily movements, one guides the power of heaven and earth deep into the physical body, refining the bones and strengthening the meridians.
During cultivation, the cultivator must undergo various trials such as fire tempering, water therapy, wind grinding, and lightning strikes, each time testing the body to the extreme.
The Divine King Indestructible Body is divided into nine levels, and each level is a dual test of the cultivator's will and physique. From the initial refining of the skin, flesh, and bones, to the later refining of tendons, meridians, and organs, and finally to the refining of blood, marrow, and divine energy, each level breakthrough signifies a leap in physical strength.
When cultivated to perfection, the cultivator's physical body will become indestructible, able to maintain vitality even in the most extreme environments. Additionally, the Divine King Indestructible Body can also unlock the cultivator's potential, allowing them to unleash strength and speed beyond that of ordinary people in battle.
Furthermore, this technique can greatly extend the cultivator's lifespan, and may even allow them to transcend the cycle of reincarnation, reaching a state of eternal immortality.
Jiang Taixu himself was able to withstand An Lan's attacks and remain resilient due to the Divine King Indestructible Body and the Divine King Regeneration Technique.
Of course, transcending reincarnation and achieving eternal immortality is a bit of an exaggeration.
Moreover, the Divine King Indestructible Body has one drawback—the cultivator's physical body becomes too strong!
This is both a strength and a weakness.
A strong physical body is difficult to injure, but once injured, the recovery process becomes geometrically more challenging.
For this reason, Jiang Taixu mentioned that it is best to use it in conjunction with one's innate abilities.
Despite this minor flaw, the technique is undoubtedly powerful!
However, for Lin Fan, this drawback is not a significant concern.
When I return, I'll utilize the vast resources I've acquired... By then, my clan's direct disciples will consume Bu Tian Dan like candy!
You have the Divine King Regeneration Technique?
We have the Heaven Mending Pills!
And they're high-grade, seventh-level or above, so what's there to fear? As for the Divine Prelude, it's a combat secret art, one of Jiang Taixu's 'awakened skills' during his prime, and it's a great opportunity to reap benefits.
As for the Combat Word Secret...
It is the ultimate combat technique, capable of simulating any attack and evolving all battle techniques and divine arts, making it the top attack among the Nine Secrets. The effect of the Combat Word Secret is one of the best secret arts for powerful physiques, such as the Holy Body.
It's perfect for the Second Elder, Jianzi, and the others.
And if they learn it...
I'll learn it too.
How wonderful!
Seeing Lin Fan's determination, Jiang Taixu could not refuse any further and handed over the jade slip containing the Combat Word Secret and the Divine King Indestructible Body, as well as a copy of the Divine Prelude, which was still in the process of being created.
"Jiang Clan Leader, you're so generous!"
Lin Fan gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Taixu's mouth twitched slightly.
This kind of praise...
I'd rather not have it!
He smiled wryly.
"With the help of Lin Daoyou and the others, my Jiang Clan was able to survive and eliminate the An Family, a great threat. Compared to that, these techniques and secrets are insignificant."
"..."
Soon after, everyone had finished their selections.
A faint smile appeared on everyone's faces, indicating their satisfaction with their choices.
"It's about time for us to prepare to leave."
Yan Luyi spoke up, "But before that, Lin Fan, Lin Daoyou."
"I'm quite interested in your previous long-distance observation of our secret techniques. I wonder... could we exchange them?"
He was indeed sensible, not asking for something without offering something in return, but instead choosing to trade.
As for forcefully taking it...
They were wary of Lin Fan and the others' methods.
Not understanding their abilities, they naturally didn't want to create enmity.
In comparison, a trade was a safer option.
"Oh?"
Lin Fan was not surprised by this request.
The Eightfold Mirror Technique was indeed powerful, although it was a weakened version of the Observation Mirror, it was still incredibly overpowered. Moreover, even a cultivator at the Ninth Stage would be unable to detect it.
This was enough to be considered heaven-defying and enticing.
"That's possible."
"But you'll have to offer something of equal value."
"Additionally, you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath not to pass on this technique."
"What's something of equal value?" Bai Yujing interjected.
He also wanted the technique.
"Although this technique is not a combat-oriented secret art, it falls under the category of Invincible Techniques."
"At the very least, it should be an Imperial Armament!"
Lin Fan quoted the price.
The price was indeed high.
But it was not an unreasonable demand.
Everyone knew that auxiliary secret arts, while lacking direct combat power, could often be more valuable than combat-oriented Invincible Techniques!
"This price... is reasonable."
Yan Luyi nodded and took out an Imperial Armament.
Lin Fan took a glance and his eyebrows jumped.
"Crimson Peak Spear?"
"Yes."
Yan Luyi smiled, "The spoils of war after defeating An Lan, but this Imperial Armament is not suitable for me, so it's perfect for trading."
"If you put it that way..." Bai Yujing took out an Imperial Armament, "Then I'll use this for the trade."
Lin Fan was stunned.
Wow.
Are they trying to turn me into the second An Lan? But these items are indeed valuable.
The quality of these two Imperial Armaments was not low, at least better than the two Imperial Armaments that Song Ru had. As for their value, it was unquestionable. As for their effectiveness, well, we'll see.
At the very least, they could be used to feed Barrett, and hopefully, he would become stronger sooner.
The transaction was completed, and both parties were satisfied.
However, Lin Fan had a trick up his sleeve.
The Eightfold Mirror Technique he gave them was an early version, without any subtitles.
It was like eating raw meat and watching a silent movie.
After all, he understood the principle of teaching a disciple so well that they surpass the master.
For the international trade version, it was natural to censor a portion of it.
Xin Youdao chuckled, "To be honest, I want it too, but I don't have an Imperial Armament."
"Perhaps, after completing this task, we'll have enough points to exchange for an Imperial Armament?"
His heart was filled with enthusiasm, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation.
If an Eighth Stage cultivator could possess an Imperial Armament, their strength would undoubtedly surge.
However...
Even if he could purchase an Imperial Armament from the Group Mall, he wouldn't dare to exchange it for the Eightfold Mirror Technique.
This invincible auxiliary technique was indeed valuable, and its price was even higher than ordinary invincible techniques. However, most of those willing to purchase it were cultivators who already possessed multiple invincible techniques.
Otherwise, it was natural to prioritize purchasing offensive invincible techniques and Imperial Armaments.
"Then, shall we submit the task?" Song Ru suggested.
"Yes, let's submit the task," the Holy Maiden Knight quickly added.
These bystanders had little presence and were eager to return, digest the gains from this task, and strive to become stronger.
As for capturing beauties...
There wasn't enough time, and the named beauties were either already taken or had exceptional strength and powerful backgrounds, making it impossible for them to succeed.
They had no choice but to give up.
"Then let's submit the task."
No one objected.
Submitting the task meant leaving this world.
There was no room for lingering...
Without hesitation, everyone chose to submit the task.
Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang could only watch from the sidelines.
Su Yan and the group members' expressions became extremely interesting.
However, after waiting for a moment, Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang realized that everyone remained in place, and they couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"Shouldn't we all be 'transported' back, each to their own homes and families?"
"That's what should have happened," Su Yan took a deep breath and said, "But the rewards for this task are too generous. In addition to the points and resource rewards, there's also a special reward."
"Because the task completion was so high and even perfection makes this special reward."
"What is it?" Gou Sheng asked eagerly.
"Passage and residency rights in this world..."
Lin Fan's eyebrows furrowed.
Fan Jianqiang was stunned, "Huh?"
"This..."
"Can we decline this broken reward?"
"Broken reward?"
Everyone, except Lin Fan, looked at him with confusion in their eyes.
Among them, an Eighth Stage cultivator struggled to conceal his anger.
The small world he came from was not particularly powerful.
With scarce spiritual energy and an arduous cultivation path, reaching the Eighth Stage was already a challenge, let alone aspiring to the Ninth Stage? It was so difficult it made one's scalp tingle.
It was almost impossible.
Now, with the ability to shuttle between two worlds and reside in both...
With the addition of external assistance, reaching the Ninth Stage would be within grasp.
But you're telling me this is a broken reward?
Fan Jianqiang sighed, "Forget it, never mind what I said."
"I spoke without thinking, please don't take it to heart."
He understood the thoughts of the others.
Being able to shuttle between two worlds had countless advantages.
Not to mention the simple act of collecting resources from both worlds, which was already considered heaven-defying.
After all, many novel protagonists' golden fingers allowed them to shuttle between two worlds.
But then the question arose...
What kind of world was this? A world with Wang Anlan and Divine King Jiang Taixu!
Although their appearance in the same era and small world was improbable, it still indicated that this world was connected to the 'Foreign Realm'!
What did the Foreign Realm have?
Foreign Realm Immortal Kings, Near Immortal Emperors, Dark Immortal Emperors, Corpse Immortal Emperors, High Primordial Ancestors...
These were almost the strongest BOSS series of existences.
With such a path...
How could I, so cautious, feel at ease? Fan Jianqiang was dumbfounded.
Damn.
Previously, it was just a speculation that they might encounter these BOSSes.
But now, there's no need to guess.
They will definitely encounter them.
It was as absurd as it was painful.
Unpleasant!
...
"In my opinion, there's no need to hide this matter," Bai Yujing said after a moment of contemplation. "Being able to freely shuttle between two worlds is a great advantage for us."
"Inform Jiang Taixu."
"As the local snake, no, for a long time to come, the Jiang Family will be the 'Heaven' of this world!"
"Tell him, and establish a good relationship with him, so we can act accordingly."
"Indeed," Yan Luyi agreed.
Subsequently, they contacted Jiang Taixu and informed him of the matter.
"Oh?"
Jiang Taixu was surprised but not entirely shocked. However, he had a hint of worry.
"I have a question."
"I don't know, but can you bring people in and out?"
"..."
"Yes!" Bai Yujing did not hide the truth, as people were also considered a resource.
"Then... you must agree to let the Jiang Family know when you bring people over, and everyone entering must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, vowing not to arbitrarily destroy anything in this world."
"And if you want to take something away from this world..."
"The Jiang Family will take a cut."
This was almost like becoming a 'World Scoundrel', and Jiang Taixu had to be cautious! Even if the other party had a great favor with the Jiang Family, they still had to negotiate.
Soon, they reached an agreement.
Lin Fan, however, did not participate in this.
He didn't want to be involved with the 'weird' faction too early.
But Jiang Taixu didn't give him that chance.
"Lin Daoyou, let's have a chat."
Lin Fan sighed, "Feel free to speak, fellow cultivator."
