Chapter 272: Formation! Moon Embrace Sect's Development and Entry into the Ethereal Realm (Part 1)
Chapter 272: Formation! Moon Embrace Sect's Development and Entry into the Ethereal Realm (Part 1)
"As you mentioned earlier, you are the Sect Master of Moon Embrace Sect."
Jiang Taixu laughed, "It's just right. I have two descendants, and I've been looking for a good teacher for them."
"I believe that you, Lord Lin, and Moon Embrace Sect are undoubtedly the best choices."
"Of course, rest assured, Lord Lin. Both of my descendants are exceptionally talented. One has a Holy Body, and the other is a naturally born Sword Embryo, an unparalleled genius in the Sword Dao!"
"They will certainly not bring shame to your sect if they join Moon Embrace Sect."
Lin Fan looked up speechlessly.
He could guess Jiang Taixu's intentions.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Taixu considered Lin Fan to be the most 'trustworthy' among them, so he wanted to establish a good relationship, similar to a 'marriage alliance', with Moon Embrace Sect.
In this way, the Jiang Family would have a backup plan in another world.
They could advance or retreat as needed!
Furthermore, he could use these two descendants of the Jiang Family to gather the necessary resources in the Immortal Martial Continent.
In other words...
He wanted to give his descendants an advantage, turning them into 'Dimensional Travelers', while also providing an extra layer of insurance for the Jiang Family.
It was a beautiful idea.
But I don't want to agree!
Seeing Lin Fan unmoved, Jiang Taixu quickly transmitted his voice, "All of our Imperial Scriptures can be shared with your sect. Please do me this favor."
"..."
Do I look like that kind of person?
Lin Fan glared, "Divine King Jiang, you're too kind. If you're willing to let your descendants join Moon Embrace Sect, that's naturally great."
"May I ask who they are?"
Jiang Taixu smiled, "They are my two daughters."
Lin Fan: "..."
Wow, you're giving your daughters to me?
Doesn't that mean...
Ye Tian Di will be shocked as well? And there's a possibility that he'll take the initiative to seek me out?
I won't be able to sleep if that's the case.
Lin Fan was excited.
But then, Jiang Taixu spoke, "Jiang Li, Jiang Ni, hurry over and pay your respects to your Master."
Lin Fan's smile froze instantly.
"What?!"
"What are their names??"
"Jiang Li and Jiang Ni. Their names sound somewhat similar." Jiang Taixu thought Lin Fan was puzzled by the similarity in their names and couldn't help but laugh as he explained.
Lin Fan: "(⊙o⊙)..."
Something's not right!
It's nine-tenths not right!
It's not unusual for Jiang Taixu to have daughters.
Having two daughters isn't surprising either, after all, they are just templates, and they don't necessarily have to be 'identical'.
But their names are wrong, right?!
Jiang Li? Jiang Ni?
Are you trying to tell me that they are the female leads of 'The Starry Heavens' and 'Sword Snow Stride' respectively?
But what do they have to do with you, Jiang Taixu?
Jiang Ni is a princess of a fallen kingdom!
As for Jiang Li...
Well, Jiang Li and Jiang Taixu might actually have some connection.
Because... their fathers are both 'Divine Kings'.
But Jiang Li's father is a Divine King in the Divine Realm, not the White Robe Divine King, right?!
I'm so confused.
The two sisters, who looked about six-tenths similar, approached gracefully.
Jiang Li was in her early twenties.
Jiang Ni was only eighteen years old.
Both of them had remarkable cultivation levels.
Jiang Li had reached the Sixth Stage.
Jiang Ni was at the Fifth Stage...
They were both very beautiful. They bowed gently to Lin Fan.
The elder sister, Jiang Li, had jet-black hair like ink, bright enough to reflect light, giving off a sense of tranquility. Her skin was crystal clear like jade, and she had an elegant and gentle aura.
The younger sister, Jiang Ni, wore a white skirt and hid behind Jiang Li, sneaking glances at Lin Fan. She seemed timid yet strong, cute yet stubborn.
With just one glance, Lin Fan knew he had guessed correctly.
They...
Were the 'Jiang Li' and 'Jiang Ni' templates!
But how did they end up together?
Are they even related?
Lin Fan was perplexed.
However, he found another reason to take them back.
After all, according to reason, they should be the respective wives of Qin Yu and Xu Fenglai!
Their wives!
Taking their wives as disciples is only natural, right?
But everything is in disarray.
Everything is completely messed up!
Lin Fan turned to look at Fan Jianqiang, who was also staring at Lin Fan with a twitching corner of his mouth.
Obviously, he had noticed the issue as well.
"Rest assured, friend. I will treat them the same as the other disciples of Moon Embrace Sect."
"Moreover, as long as Moon Embrace Sect exists, nothing will happen to them!"
Lin Fan made this promise as they were about to part ways.
Jiang Taixu smiled and said, "I am naturally at ease. After all, everyone has their own fate. I have a strange premonition that their fate is somehow related to you."
"Besides, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have let them leave with you."
"That's true."
Lin Fan nodded, "Speaking of which, the conflict between the An Family and the Jiang Family, I heard, was triggered by the Jiang Family's two young princesses?"
"You could say that."
Jiang Taixu sighed, "However, it was just an excuse."
"I understand."
Lin Fan nodded.
Then...
Fan Jianqiang took the lead, and Lin Fan's group returned.
However, they had come as three but left as five.
Moon Holding Palace:
Fan Jianqiang slipped away.
As always, he didn't want to get deeply entangled in the 'whirlpool'. He would help with matters, but expecting him to take the initiative to dive into the depths of the whirlpool was out of the question.
Su Yan also bid farewell and left.
Soon, the vast Moon Holding Palace was left with only Lin Fan, the Jiang Family sisters, the Fu Ningna sisters, and Ya Ya.
"Has Master returned?"
Ya Ya handed over a warm, damp towel.
Lin Fan's heart warmed, and he took the towel, wiping his face, which wasn't even dirty, before saying, "This trip was quite fruitful."
"Please take care of these Imperial Scriptures, Immortal Techniques, and Secret Arts. As for the Divine King Indestructible Body, Combat Word Secret, and Divine Prelude, send them to the Scripture Hall."
"Thank you, Master."
Ya Ya smiled mischievously, "From now on, they will be your junior sisters."
”
"Jiang Li, Jiang Ni, this is your Ya Ya Shijie."
"Ya Ya Shijie."
The two sisters quickly bowed.
"I have another junior sister, how wonderful." Ya Ya smiled and welcomed them.
"They are the maidservants of Shizun, Fu Ningna and Diana."
The group soon became acquainted.
However, before arranging for the sisters to pay their respects and enter the sect, Lin Fan said, "I have a few questions for you two, and you need to answer honestly."
"Yes, Shizun."
The sisters' expressions became serious.
"Jiang Li."
"Do you have a necklace?"
Jiang Li's expression changed slightly, "Yes..."
"I understand."
Lin Fan nodded.
Alright.
Just from this behavior, without asking further, it's clear that the Fate Gear of Qin Yu will also start to accelerate its rotation, right? He then turned to Jiang Ni, "Jiang Ni, when you cultivate, do you often slack off?"
"This... this..."
Jiang Ni's face turned red, stuttering, and eventually, she stuck out her tongue.
"..."
Alright, no need to ask further.
"Ya Ya."
"Contact your Qin Shidi and Xu Shidi and have them come back."
Lin Fan directly instructed Ya Ya to call for them.
Although they are still strangers to each other, there exists a mysterious 'attraction' between the templates!
Perhaps it's not a case of love at first sight.
But there will definitely be some sparks, as for the sequel... let's see how it goes.
Anyway, what he needs to do is to bring them together, see what kind of sparks fly, and at the same time, pay attention to how their Fate Gears will turn.
This is very important.
After all...
In the current world, everything is in 'chaos'.
Lin Fan already finds it hard to understand this world.
For example...
Huan Tian Di has appeared!
An Lan is still at the Ninth Stage.
This is quite unbelievable in terms of the timeline.
Of course, it's a group quest, so it's not just about going to other spaces, but also possibly traveling to other 'time and space'.
This is not difficult to understand, nor is it unacceptable.
But this father-daughter trio from the Jiang family really makes Lin Fan feel uneasy.
It's too chaotic!
"Is it because of the 'Golden Great World', various protagonist templates emerging one after another, and some 'special changes' happening?"
"I can only understand it this way."
"It's quite ridiculous."
"But, even if it's ridiculous, we have to find a way to deal with it."
Ya Ya went to call for them.
Lin Fan then said to Jiang Li, "After you pay your respects, will you cultivate within the sect or explore the Immortal Martial Continent after understanding it?"
He then said to Jiang Ni, "As for you..."
"I don't care if you were lazy in your cultivation before."
"But after entering the sect, you must be diligent."
"Moon Embrace Sect is not weak, but there are many strong enemies around, I don't expect you to shield the sect from the wind and rain, but at least you must have the strength to protect yourself!"
"So, after you pay your respects and have a preliminary understanding of this world, I will arrange a master for you, and you must follow him diligently."
"Ah?"
Jiang Ni's talent is not bad.
She is a naturally born sword embryo, which is another way of saying 'sword spirit holy body'.
In other words, her talent in sword techniques is at least comparable to Jian Zi.
But when Lin Fan saw her current combat power...
If she were to face Jian Zi, she would undoubtedly be defeated with a single sword strike.
How could this be?
Fortunately, he had previously discussed cooperation with Spirit Sword Sect, and they could send 'exchange students' there.
So, he let Jiang Ni go to Spirit Sword Sect as the first exchange student, to test the waters.
Let Rao Zhirou and San Ye teach and supervise her cultivation!
Perfect!
The plan is good.
However, Jiang Ni herself has a bit of a mood.
But Lin Fan can't afford to care about that much.
This is because he feels that time is becoming increasingly urgent!
It's easy to solve small moods, but if there's a lack of strength and an accident happens, that's a real big problem.
Subsequently, the initiation ceremony took place.
It was not publicly announced, but only an internal initiation.
After all, Lin Fan personally accepted the disciples.
Since their talents are both good, and Jiang Taixu also wants to build a closer relationship with Lin Fan, it wouldn't be appropriate if he didn't personally accept them as disciples.
After that, he arranged for the two of them to get familiar with the Immortal Martial Continent, accompanied by Ya Ya.
Meanwhile, his main body entered seclusion, attempting to engrave a micro-array on his body and trying to create a technique to absorb immortal energy into his body, so that even before reaching the Ninth Stage, his body would possess immortal energy, thereby gaining the qualification to briefly contend with the Ninth Stage.
However...
This method is very difficult!
There is no precedent in history, no one has ever succeeded in this, even with the original work of "Perfect" as a reference, it is still the case.
After all...
Lin Fan is a modern person, a traverser.
He sees it as a novel, a story, knowing it to be false.
And he won't 'imagine' like Ya Ya, Xiao Ling'er, and others.
They will imagine that everything is real, that they can 'prophesy', and precisely because of this, they will deeply believe in the techniques and secret arts, and then diligently create techniques.
But he can't do that.
He can't convince himself, he can't believe that it's real.
So, he has to slowly figure it out.
...
Three days later.
Qin Yu and Xu Fenglai returned.
Lin Fan arranged for them to meet.
Then...
Both sides were a bit surprised.
When Qin Yu and Jiang Li met, the two of them were stunned, and they both raised their hands to cover their chests.
A moment later.
The two of them, as if sharing a telepathic connection, took out their respective Meteor Tears.
"Meteor Tear?"
Looking at the Meteor Tear in the other party's hand, the two of them spoke in unison.
Then...
They were both shocked! Especially Qin Yu.
He had read All Things Celestial Transformation.
The other party's name was Jiang Li, and she possessed the Meteor Tear...
What did this mean?!
It meant this was his wife!!!
He had been puzzled earlier why his Master's predictions were so frighteningly accurate, except that his 'wife' had never appeared. He had even secretly used the Imperial Guards to search, but found nothing.
But now...
Well!
His wife had become a junior sister?!
However...
It's fine!
Senior and junior disciples becoming Dao companions is quite normal, and it would be a closer relationship, no problem.
But...
Ahem.
He couldn't seem too eager, lest he scare her off.
Qin Yu's mind was very active, but he merely smiled gently.
At the same time, he already considered Jiang Li as his Dao companion! Of course, only 'mentally,' as for the rest, it would need to happen gradually.
First...
He needed to leave a good impression.
"Junior Sister."
He smiled gently, "Have you ever toured the Moon Embrace Sect? How about I take you around, and we can talk about the 'Meteor Tear'?"
He couldn't be too hasty; he needed to take it step by step. The best topic to start with was the Meteor Tear.
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Then I'll trouble Senior Brother."
She hadn't read All Things Celestial Transformation, but she had a strange liking for Qin Yu, plus the Meteor Tear...
Naturally, she agreed.
...
On the other side.
Xu Fenglai felt a deep sigh.
He had read The Snowy Hero's Journey.
He was naturally familiar with Jiang Ni.
However...
In the story, he wasn't exactly 'perfect.'
He was a lecher and a spendthrift!
Fortunately, he could refer to the story to correct his mistakes and make up for the regrets. But, this little Jiang Ni was really cute.
Was this his future Dao companion?
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"You, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Ni, somewhat shy and afraid, kept retreating, weakly saying, "If you keep this up, I'll tell Master."
"Let him deal with you, break your legs."
A super 'weak' tone.
A super 'harsh' statement.
Indeed, it was you!
Xu Fenglai laughed out loud.
...
"Heh."
Looking at the scene through the Eightfold Mirror Technique, Lin Fan smiled like a doting aunt.
"It seems to be pretty much as I imagined."
"No need to worry too much about them."
"Keep feeding Barrett!"
In recent days, Lin Fan had fed a massive amount of resources! Barrett successfully advanced to a small level.
However, compared to the cost...
The return was somewhat disproportionate.
Extremely low cost-effectiveness!
"No wonder Hu Kun kept advising me not to act rashly. Growth-type magical artifacts indeed have a very high upper limit, but most people can't afford them."
"Fortunately, if cultivated properly, their power is also terrifying."
"Come on, again!"
Lin Fan gritted his teeth.
Barrett was very useful!
Very powerful!
But at this stage, it wasn't quite enough, and it needed to keep growing.
It wasn't that Barrett was getting weaker, but the enemies were getting stronger.
As he upgraded, the enemies became stronger, and equipment... naturally needed to upgrade as well.
"Crimsom Peak Spear, Immortal Shield..."
"Never mind!"
"Damn it!"
These two Imperial Armaments were good things.
But Lin Fan always felt these things were quite 'ominous.'
Keeping them might not be a good thing, so he decided to 'dismantle' them and feed them to Barrett!
...
Half a month later.
Jiang Li accompanied Qin Yu on an outing to explore the secrets of the Meteor Tear.
Jiang Ni cried herself into a mess, but she couldn't change the fact that she had to go to the Spirit Sword Sect as an 'exchange student.'
The Crimson Peak Spear and Immortal Shield were melted and completely devoured by Barrett.
Subsequently, Barrett advanced even further...
Reaching the peak of supreme Dao armaments!
If it advanced further, it could become an Imperial Armament, an Immortal Artifact!!!
"Just, the cost is too high."
"To cultivate it into an Imperial Armament, I'd have to feed it dozens of Imperial Armaments?!"
Lin Fan's scalp tingled.
Too expensive!
However, if it became an Imperial Armament and his main body's technique creation succeeded, then at that time, adding Immortal Energy to the bullets, one shot could make even a Ninth Stage cultivator take it seriously.
Even a Ninth Stage, first or second level, might be directly killed?!!
The investment...
Was worth it!
Expensive was really expensive.
But powerful was really powerful.
Now, even a scarecrow carrying Barrett could kill ordinary Eighth Stage, ninth level, or even peak cultivators!
Of course...
The recoil had become much greater.
The scarecrow could hardly withstand it.
It was hard to fire continuously.
"The main body's micro-formation test was successful."
"Double good news!"
"Great fortune, tonight we eat chicken!"
Eight Treasures Chicken!
Now, the total number of Eight Treasures Chickens in the Moon Embrace Sect had already surpassed a thousand.
Killing a few wouldn't hurt too much.
As the sect master, Lin Fan hadn't eaten yet...
Even though it was just a scarecrow, the senses could be shared with the main body, so eating wouldn't be a loss.
That night, Lin Fan ate to his heart's content.
Of course, he didn't eat alone.
He killed ten chickens and ten ducks, sharing them with the Moon Embrace Sect's senior members and personal disciples.
"This is really delicious!"
Everyone was exclaiming.
"Truly one of the ancient Eight Treasures."
"At this taste, I could eat this many!" Chen Chen raised one finger.
The Beast Control Sect's Senior Elder Chen Chen successfully secured the qualification to stay in the Spirit Beast Garden, but Gao Guang didn't return either.
Both of them were hanging around here, not planning to leave.
Today, they each got half a chicken, eating until their mouths were greasy, almost swallowing their tongues.
At this moment, they couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Gao Guang raised an eyebrow, "Eat one?"
"Rubbish! I mean eat continuously!"
Lin Fan smiled, "There's a chance, but now our Eight Treasures Chickens and Eight Treasures Ducks are still few, and we need to continue cultivating them. In the future, one for each person, one every day!"
"Best if they were everywhere, and all disciples could eat freely!"
"That would be great!"
This grand promise, everyone 'ate.'
It wasn't that they weren't smart enough, but this was truly a difficult task to succeed in. As long as the Moon Embrace Sect continued to develop and was given more time.
