Chapter 465: Contradiction Rebirth? Chen Nan's Template! (Part 1)
2024-10-31
"How dare you!"
The woman's divine soul sneered, "Do you think that by joining forces, you can defeat me?"
"Ridiculous!"
"You don't understand the gap between us at all. Die!"
The woman burst into action.
Although the combined power of two divine souls was significantly stronger than fighting alone, it still depended on who the opponent was!
Before losing her physical body, she had been superior to these two, and after losing it, her divine soul became more complete, naturally making it easy for her to manipulate these two incomplete souls.
Joining forces?
It was merely a waste of energy and time.
During this process, the mere thought of soon possessing such a perfect physical body made her feel eager.
This kind of physical body...
was even more perfect than her original one!!!
At the very least, when she was at the Immortal Realm, she didn't have such a perfect physical body, nor this kind of aura...
She could be certain.
Once she possessed this body, within a short time, she would possess the strength of a Golden Immortal, or even beyond! How marvelous!
"Die!!!
Boom!
Another battle ensued, and one of the incomplete souls escaped while the other died.
However, the one who escaped was quickly caught and swallowed by her.
"Since you dare to break the rules, you should have been prepared to die."
She gave a cold laugh, then rubbed her hands together, ready to possess the body...
But not far away, a figure stood with hands behind his back, gazing at her indifferently.
The figure was bathed in golden light, and the radiance made her feel uncomfortable: "You...!"
She instantly recognized him as the owner of this physical body.
But wasn't he panicking just now? Why was he now so calm and composed, as if everything was under his control? For a moment, she was filled with doubt.
But considering that she was a big shot from the upper realm, and this was merely a mortal who had just met the conditions for ascension, why should she fear?
"An illusion!"
"It's all an illusion!"
She felt that...
her previous unease was all an illusion.
At this moment, she was determined to act.
"Playing tricks."
"Die!"
She made her move.
Although it was only her divine soul, she could still utilize various ultimate techniques. The overwhelming sword intent swept out, even passing through Lin Fan's body, which was sensed by the other divine souls.
This caused them to change their expressions.
"This crazy woman!"
"She's even using this move?"
"It's just a novice who just entered the Immortal Realm. Why go this far?"
"It's a bit too much!"
"However, with this move, that unlucky fellow is undoubtedly dead."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"Such a good opportunity, ruined by that crazy woman..."
"..."
They shook their heads and sighed, then retreated once more.
Initially, they had planned to wait and see if there was a chance to take advantage.
But now...
With this move, what chance was left?
Forget it.
They'd wait for the next opportunity.
San Ye, however, trembled all over, almost unable to stop herself from intervening!
...
"Thunder Rush."
With a single sword strike, thunderous radiance flashed.
Lin Fan's entire Niduan Palace was filled with thunder...
and thunder had immense killing power against divine souls.
She wanted to use this strike to completely erase Lin Fan, ensuring a smooth possession without any worries.
"..."
Lin Fan's gaze was calm.
"This strength far surpasses that of the previous Golden Immortal."
"I'm even stronger than before."
"Moreover, the divine soul..."
At this moment, he was in a complete sharing state!
The cultivation, divine souls, comprehension, and skills of his disciples were all shared!
With this sharing, the divine soul state was already astonishing, and with various skills supporting it, this was still his own sea of consciousness, his home field!
Even though the woman's divine soul was powerful, Lin Fan was unafraid.
"A correct bet..."
"Next, follow the plan."
"Phew."
Lin Fan exhaled.
With a swift movement, he didn't even need to use sword techniques or any sword cultivation methods.
Stepping on the word 'Thunder' and utilizing the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Step, he enhanced his speed to the extreme, appearing behind the woman in an instant, his hand glowing with seven-colored light and striking her back.
"Love Chicken."
"No!"
The woman was shocked, quickly turning around to face a pair of blood-red, spinning eyes.
"You...!"
She felt that something was terribly wrong.
This person...
was definitely not just a newly ascended Immortal.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A refreshing sensation that made her divine soul tremble washed over her, along with a strange dizziness, as if...
she had returned to those youthful years.
It felt like the exhaustion after a night of multiple rounds!
"Damn it."
"What kind of technique is this?"
She forced herself to focus, preparing to strike again.
But Lin Fan didn't give her a chance.
Here...
was too dangerous.
Strong enemies surrounded them.
Lin Fan couldn't afford any mistakes, so he had to give it his all!
A combination attack he had rehearsed in his mind thousands of times!
"Clear Dao Technique!"
Slicing sound!
Lin Fan's entire body transformed into a short blade, tearing through the air and moving back and forth, leaving afterimages.
"Ahh!"
The woman struggled desperately, but Lin Fan forcefully suppressed her.
After that, he directly used a soul-searching secret technique in his divine soul state.
Soul Search!!!
Boom!
The woman continued to struggle, her anger and shock mixing as she fought with all her might.
But suddenly, she saw behind Lin Fan a sea of blood that instantly engulfed her.
"???"
She was shocked: "You???"
Intense pain washed over her.
In the last moments of her consciousness, she had only one thought: Who is this person? Am I the demonic cultivator, or is he?
In the sea of consciousness, the previous tremors quickly subsided.
Soon, everything calmed down.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut.
The soul search was complete!
Although the previous Cut Me Clear Dao Technique had severely damaged the woman's divine soul, most of her 'memories' remained intact, and this soul search yielded abundant results.
This woman's name was Fan Qingzhou.
A name as poetic as the life she led in her youth.
But later, her family's fortunes took a turn for the worse, forcing her into arduous cultivation.
And then...
She faced countless setbacks and hardships, which gradually changed her mindset, turning her into a freak and a madwoman in the eyes of others.
A woman who disliked men but favored women...
Tsk! It's embarrassing to even speak of her.
As her power grew, so did her eccentricity.
She became a generation's Sword Devil.
The so-called Sword Devil...
was a sword cultivator among demon cultivators.
Until she was summoned to enter the Sword Aura Great Wall.
"So, the Sword Aura Great Wall had such a past."
Lin Fan's heart trembled.
This Sword Aura Great Wall...
was, in fact, not much different from the Sword Aura Great Wall in Lin Fan's memories, just a period of time ago.
"The Sword Aura Great Wall, where people's hearts are as fleeting as dreams."
A sword immortal per line, all dead by the end of the chapter, this saying couldn't be more fitting here.
The number of sword immortals who died in battle was countless, like fish in the river.
This place was where one faced death and was born anew! It was an immortal, unyielding wall situated between the Immortal World and the Foreign Realm, serving as both a physical barrier and a crucial defense against invasions from the barbaric Foreign Realm.
The Sword Aura Great Wall symbolized the sword cultivators' spirit of sacrifice and unwavering determination. It was not only a physical barrier but also a spiritual pillar.
The sword cultivators on the Sword Aura Great Wall passed down their legacy from generation to generation, educating their successors through their actions and lives, teaching them the meaning of responsibility and duty.
The Sword Aura Great Wall was the sacred land in the hearts of countless sword cultivators, the place they yearned for the most.
Even though it was a place of nine deaths and extreme danger, they still flocked to it.
All they wanted...
was to one day leave their mark on the wall! Only by slaying at least a fourteen-realm cultivator from the Foreign Realm could one leave a character on the wall.
Fourteen realms...
was the 'Taiyi' realm! In the Immortal World, the tenth realm was the Immortal Realm, followed by the True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi True Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and finally, the Great Roc Golden Immortal at the fifteenth realm.
After that, there were the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor realms.
Each realm had four sub-realms: the initial, middle, late, and peak stages.
However, those who ascended from the lower realms preferred a more detailed division, categorizing each realm into nine sub-realms.
For this reason, many who ascended felt that there should be an additional realm between the True Immortal and Golden Immortal realms.
The Heaven Immortal realm.
But...
this notion was only circulated among some of the ascended cultivators from the lower realms; the upper realm cultivators did not acknowledge it.
In their understanding, the fourteenth realm was the Taiyi Golden Immortal! Only by slaying a Taiyi Golden Immortal could one leave a character on the wall!
And now, the outside of the wall was densely packed with names, almost filled to capacity.
This was both glory and sorrow.
It seemed like countless strong cultivators from the Foreign Realm had been slain, but the Sword Aura Great Wall had also paid an unimaginable price.
Especially during the battle a million years ago.
The Foreign Realm was infuriated by the Sword Aura Great Wall's resistance over the years, and in their anger, they summoned all the sword cultivators from the Foreign Realm to launch a fierce assault!
The Sword Aura Great Wall's integrity remained unshaken, with countless sword cultivators sacrificing themselves one after another, determined to fight to the death!
In that battle...
countless sword cultivators perished.
Countless self-detonations occurred.
The Sword Aura Great Wall was almost destroyed!
The once-unwavering Sword Aura Great Wall that stood for countless years on the borderlands became a thing of the past...
Fortunately, the Foreign Realm also suffered heavy losses, and after the internal conflicts in the Immortal World were resolved, reinforcements arrived immediately, retaking the Sword Aura Great Wall.
But...
the sword cultivators had been nearly wiped out.
The Sword Aura Great Wall was also the sacred land of the sword path, originally built for sword cultivators, making it unsuitable for cultivators of other paths to station there, as they couldn't contribute much.
So...
in the end, the major powers of the Immortal World had no choice but to take a different approach.
No more sword cultivators?
There were still the sword devils!
From then on, the Sword Aura Great Wall remained, but it lost the integrity of the sword cultivators, lacking the same fearlessness and courage to face all enemies from the Foreign Realm, ready to die and be buried where they fell.
Battles, large and small, continued.
The sword devils didn't abandon the wall and flee.
But...
most of them were afraid of death.
At the very least, they didn't want to perish completely, body and soul.
When they sensed danger, they would abandon their physical bodies and escape.
After that, they would gather sword cultivators from various places, possessing their bodies to replenish their numbers...
Now, the Sword Aura Great Wall still stood.
But was it still the Sword Aura Great Wall?
Lin Fan fell silent.
For a moment, he felt conflicted.
Even more so, he had no right to stand on a moral high ground and criticize others.
Yes, a million years ago, the Sword Aura Great Wall guarded by the sword cultivators was brilliant and noble.
The sword cultivators were fearless idealists, willing to give their all, even if it meant death and the destruction of their cultivation.
They fought for themselves, for the world, and for the honor of the sword path.
For the younger generation of Sword Cultivators, they set an example that was almost perfect.
Yet, they were also carefree to a fault.
They deserved the respect of all.
They deserved to be remembered and appreciated by the entire Immortal World.
Their existence was beyond question.
But over the past million years, were all the deeds of the Sword Devils truly wrong? Yes, they were indeed not the best of people.
But were they truly cowards who feared death? If they feared death, why would they come to the Sword Aura Great Wall?
It could be said that they were also incredibly noble, but the fact that they would go to such lengths to possess others' bodies is a stain that can never be washed away.
They weren't cowards, but they also weren't fearless.
They had their merits, and they had their faults.
In reality...
At least in Lin Fan's eyes, this was more like a 'person'.
They were more human! Those Sword Immortals were indeed powerful and noble, deserving of everyone's respect, but they were ultimately too idealized.
They were a group of respectable and lovable idealists.
However, in the face of reality, the ones who get hurt the most are often the idealists.
They...
Reality often delivers a heavy blow to ideals! Sword Immortals, Sword Devils...?
If I had to choose, I'd pick the Sword Immortals as friends.
But if one were to go to extreme lengths to defend their position...
Perhaps the Sword Devils would be more suitable? Comparing the two...
At this moment, Lin Fan's feelings were complex, and he truly didn't know what to say.
At least, as a 'little guy' who had just arrived at the Sword Aura Great Wall and hadn't even experienced a single major battle, he had no right to evaluate anything, let alone advise on grand strategies.
"It's just..."
"It's quite surprising to have a Sword Aura Great Wall guarded by a Sword Devil."
In his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Fan shook his head lightly, "But first, let's just get in."
He devoured the fragments of the woman's divine soul, and then used the upgraded Thousand Transformations Art to change his divine soul's aura and fluctuations to be identical to hers.
With this...
Lin Fan estimated that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have a hard time noticing anything amiss.
After completing all this, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the first step of the plan to smuggle the disciples out has succeeded."
"However, leaving the Sword Aura Great Wall won't be easy either."
From Fan Qingzhou's memories, Lin Fan learned that the Sword Aura Great Wall, although not a one-way trip, was extremely difficult to leave once entered.
The big shots who came to support could come and go freely.
But for them, the 'little soldiers'...
They had to either establish great merit or fight to the death.
Until death!
But for a little soldier to establish great merit was almost an impossible task.
In other words...
It was almost certain death.
"No wonder these Sword Devils go crazy and try all sorts of methods to possess others..."
"The situation here is indeed complex and deep."
The 'reverse possession' was successful.
But Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to make any moves, he simply knelt down where he was, seemingly familiarizing himself with his physical body, but in reality, he was considering what to do next.
At the same time, San Ye keenly noticed the disappearance of Lin Fan's divine soul aura.
But considering the numerous methods of her master, she didn't act rashly, instead quietly contacting Lin Fan through divine sense transmission.
"Who are you?!"
She didn't reveal her identity but asked Lin Fan, or rather, the person who had just entered Lin Fan's physical body.
"Guess?"
Lin Fan smiled.
At this moment, his divine soul's aura and fluctuations were unfamiliar to San Ye.
But this didn't prevent them from recognizing each other.
"Master!"
"You're here too."
San Ye was excited, but also a little worried, "I never thought that when we meet again, it would be here."
"I didn't expect it either, but since we're here, we might as well make the best of it."
Lin Fan chatted with San Ye, "And I'm not the only one who came."
San Ye was surprised, "Hmm?"
"No rush."
Lin Fan didn't plan to reveal Xiao Ling'er and the others at this moment, instead, he asked, "How have you been these days?"
"And how much do you know about the Sword Aura Great Wall?"
San Ye replied, "Since you've successfully reversed the possession, I assume you have a basic understanding of the Sword Aura Great Wall."
"My knowledge and yours are probably similar, perhaps with some differences in the details."
"And there's also..."
"Master, perhaps in half a month, there will be a major battle, and you need to prepare in advance."
"If you dare to be cowardly and not fight, those above won't let you off easily."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
Those above naturally referred to the true big shots among the Sword Devils.
They were like generals, sitting in command of the Sword Aura Great Wall.
While Lin Fan, San Ye, and those around them were like little soldiers.
"Oh, and there's one more thing."
San Ye added, "I suspect that my identity has been discovered."
"The divine souls and remnant souls around here might not be able to identify me, but they might sense that something is off about me."
"Their gazes towards me earlier were also strange."
"But they didn't say anything."
"That's very odd."
Lin Fan pondered, "Odd, yet not so odd."
"Whether it's the Sword Devils or the Sword Immortals, as long as they contribute to the Sword Aura Great Wall, in the eyes of those conventional superiors, there might not be any waves caused by you or me, so they naturally won't pay much attention."
"Unless that big shot has hostility or hatred towards the Sword Immortals."
"I can only understand it this way."
San Ye had also thought of this.
But it was something that should be brought to Lin Fan's attention.
After all, knowing the attitudes of those above would give Lin Fan more confidence in his future actions.
