Chapter 80: The Main Character's Template! What, the Tang Family?! - 20,000 Words (Part 1)
The battle between the seven Sixth Life Decree Realm powerhouses caused the heavens and earth to change color, leaving the sun and moon dimmed.
Countless dark clouds gathered, carrying various destructive auras, creating an extremely terrifying scene.
Liu Ergye, despite his severe injuries, managed to fight his way out of the encirclement, barely surviving and returning to the Moon Embrace Sect.
He knew that the Moon Embrace Sect's formation wouldn't hold against so many Sixth Realm powerhouses, but at least the two families wouldn't dare to attack the sect directly, as they were cautious of the consequences.
Returning to the Moon Embrace Sect, he felt safe, at least for the short term.
Unless something unexpected happened.
However, he didn't think these two families had any 'special trump cards'.
As their 'enemy', Liu Ergye was the most knowledgeable about the existence of these two powerful families, so he was certain they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
The Sixth Realm powerhouses of the two families gathered in the sky, their faces filled with extreme displeasure.
"Damn it, he actually broke through our encirclement!"
"Chen Xiaoliu, what have you been doing? How could he have broken through?!"
Chen Liugye shrank his neck and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, coldly harrumphing, "Do you think it's that easy to stop him? If any one of you had been in his place just now, you wouldn't have been able to stop him either!"
He cursed inwardly.
Damn it, Liu Ergye was already planning to kill me. Who knew he would go all out and try to take me down as a scapegoat?
If I hadn't dodged that last attack, I might have died, and that wouldn't have been worth it.
"Useless!"
The leader of the Jiang Family cursed, "A well-planned operation has now failed because of your incompetence!"
"What did you say?!"
Chen Liugye was furious.
"Enough!"
The leader of the Chen Family took a deep breath, "We have already failed, let's not make a fool of ourselves here."
They felt frustrated and suffocated.
The plan was to swiftly annihilate the Jade Lynx Palace and the other five sects, and if there was a gathering, they could take the opportunity to surround and kill Liu Ergye.
If they succeeded, it would be a double celebration.
Even if it wasn't a double celebration, completing one of their goals would still be a great success.
However, after all the commotion, they had only managed to kill a few dozen insignificant disciples from the six sects, and although there were many injured, they could all recover given enough time.
Now, with everyone having fled to the Moon Embrace Sect, they didn't dare to make another move...
They couldn't bear the wrath of the Spirit Sword Sect!
Even without the presence of the Spirit Sword Sect here, it was impossible to keep this a secret.
Just as they were about to leave in anger, a sword's humming sound rose.
Hummm!
A terrifying sword light pierced through the heavens and earth, arriving in an instant.
The sword light was terrifying, piercing through the void and tearing through the darkness, like a galaxy hanging above the nine heavens, shining for three days without ceasing!
"Not good!"
Liu Ergye's face changed drastically, "It's a Seventh Integration Realm expert!"
"Damn it, how do these two families still have such a powerful backup?"
"Run! Get to the teleportation formation and head to the Liu Family!"
He was shocked and pale, dragging his heavily injured body and bursting with divine power, he gathered Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, and a few other important figures, rushing towards the teleportation formation connecting to the Liu Family.
"Wait!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "No need to rush!"
"They're even more flustered than us!"
"What?"
Everyone was stunned, and when they scanned with their spiritual sense, they realized that the six Sixth Realm powerhouses in the sky not only lacked any joy but were filled with panic, even trembling and looking extremely distressed.
It was as if they were enduring immense pressure!
"Damn it."
They huddled together for comfort, resisting the terrifying pressure, and every face was filled with fear, "A Seventh Realm expert, and such a terrifying sword intent... Could it be someone from the Spirit Sword Sect?!"
Liu Ergye also regained his senses at this moment, "It's not their backup!"
"Is it someone from the Spirit Sword Sect?!"
"This is bad."
He stopped in his tracks, "Even if it's someone from the Spirit Sword Sect, even if we return to the Liu Family..."
"There's no need to worry too much."
Lin Fan took a deep breath.
He knew this crisis wouldn't be so simple.
But...
The Spirit Sword Sect is coming to our doorstep?
Isn't this a bit too much? If it's really like this, there's no way we can get through this crisis, unless there's another twist.
Lin Fan's mind raced, but he didn't rush to flee.
There's no escape, truly no escape.
Moreover, he was certain this was a 'dead end', and at the very least, it would cost him a resurrection coin.
But this clearly wasn't normal.
Where in the world do you encounter a world-class boss before even leaving the newbie village? If it's really like this, it can only mean that this 'game' is unusual.
The attacker is indeed from the Spirit Sword Sect, but the one who made the move might not be him.
Hummm...
The sword humming began, and as it ended, the terrifying sword light pierced through the Moon Embrace Sect's sect protection formation without slowing down at all, only dissipating when it landed on the main peak.
Only then did everyone see the newcomers clearly.
There were three people, two elders and a young man, carrying long swords and with slender figures.
They wore the unique long robes of the Spirit Sword Sect, and their sword auras were intimidating.
Lin Fan and the others were quite familiar with the young man.
It was Wen Jian, the one who had fought against Xiao Ling'er, a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect!
"It's indeed someone from the Spirit Sword Sect."
Liu Ergye's face, already pale from his severe injuries, turned even whiter.
In the sky, Chen Liugye was shocked, "Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, please spare us! We haven't taken any action against the Moon Embrace Sect!"
"Enough."
"Step aside."
An elder of the Spirit Sword Sect spoke indifferently, "If you hadn't taken action, do you think you would still be alive?"
He hadn't made a move, but the terrifying pressure he exuded made it hard for others to look directly at him.
He was also a Seventh Integration Realm expert! But even more shocking was that the two of them were half a step behind Wen Jian, and Wen Jian seemed to be the main focus! They didn't know Wen Jian.
But given the situation, it was obvious even to a blind man that Wen Jian's status was terrifyingly high.
After all, Seventh Realm experts were considered the pillars of even first-rate sects, but at this moment, two Seventh Realm sword cultivators were protecting this young man?
They were shocked and dared not move, quickly bowing and backing away, hurriedly retreating.
"The Moon Embrace Sect is finished!"
"The six sects associated with the Moon Embrace Sect will likely be destroyed as well!"
"Although Liu Ergye hasn't been killed yet, there's still a chance he'll be slain by the Spirit Sword Sect. If that happens, our mission won't be considered a complete failure."
"I never expected the Spirit Sword Sect to come knocking on our door so quickly.
“Two Seventh Realm Great Beings, how can they be blocked? Certain death!”
In their terror, they couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
The Sixth and Seventh Realms may seem to differ by only one realm, but in reality, there is a virtually insurmountable chasm between them.
The Sixth Life Decree Realm can know the will of heaven and their own destiny, and can harness the power of heaven and earth to fight.
But the Seventh Integration Realm has already begun to comprehend the Great Dao and merge with it, imbuing every move with the essence of the dao, boosting their combat power by more than tenfold...
How could the Moonseizing Sect possibly withstand such a force?!
They ran far away, but did not return to Hongwu Immortal City. Instead, they watched from a distance, wanting to witness the destruction of the Moonseizing Sect with their own eyes.
...
“Sword Son, how should the Moonseizing Sect be dealt with?”
The six people ran far away.
The Seventh Realm Great Being who had just spoken now turned his gaze toward Wen Jian, slowly opening his mouth.
Wen Jian's gaze swept over everyone and finally settled on Xiao Ling'er.
He spoke, his tone full of authority and leaving no room for doubt: "Even if it wasn't you who made the move, the destruction of the Eight Swords Sect, where my initiating master resides, is still closely tied to you."
"If it weren't for you snatching people back then, there wouldn't have been that battle, and without that battle, there would be no enmity with the Eight Swords Sect."
"If there weren't any enmity, they wouldn't have formed an alliance due to Su Xinghai's breakthrough. If there weren't any alliances, even if the Peach Blossom Sect was destroyed, it wouldn't have affected the Eight Swords Sect."
"Therefore, the Moonseizing Sect must be destroyed!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Fan Jianqiang was the first to clench his fingers...
But Lin Fan gave a slight smile, responding calmly, "There should still be a 'but,' right?"
In truth, he was also quite anxious!
But with three resurrection coins at his disposal, he shouldn't be completely wiped out.
Besides, you have to act cool, right?
"But, "However, I once lost to Xiao Ling'er."
"This was my first and only defeat in life. To the present me, it is a disgrace and a nightmare."
Wen Jian's tone was neither arrogant nor humble, and his voice remained incredibly calm from start to finish, as if there were no emotional fluctuations. He was merely stating a fact.
"I have now become a Sword Son, one of the strongest 'Heaven's Pride' of this era."
"Even if I haven't remained invincible, I must win back what I once lost."
"Therefore, I give you a chance."
"I will fight Xiao Ling'er again. If she loses, the Moonseizing Sect will be destroyed, and you will all meet your end."
"If she wins, we will leave, and return to challenge again in a year."
Upon hearing this,
Lin Fan was immediately relieved, even...
Feeling that it seemed too simple.
Xiao Ling'er and Wen Jian in a battle? Lin Fan observed closely; they were both at the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm, the same realm.
A battle within the same realm, would Xiao Ling'er, who had the protagonist template, be afraid?
Even if she couldn't win, would it really matter?
If the crisis is just like this, wouldn't it be too simple?
Lin Fan felt puzzled.
Having prepared for half a year in advance, and having been worried for so long, was this the result? ??
But immediately, he sensed something was off.
"No, this isn't simple!"
"The crisis comes in two waves!"
"One wave is the two major clans who need to clear out the 'outer forces' of the Moonseizing Sect, and the other wave is the present Wen Jian trio."
"It might seem like only Wen Jian, a Fourth cave heaven realm cultivator, is stepping in, but in reality, he has two Seventh realm great beings backing him!"
"To beat him would be simple, but failing to do so would truly mean certain death. Fan Jianqiang and I could use resurrection coins, but the others would die without a doubt."
Is this simple?
Perhaps for a protagonist template, a battle within the same realm isn't difficult.
But the opponent is the top seed of a first-rank sect, almost equivalent to a 'Holy Son' level character!
Such a person can sweep through countless same-rank cultivators with an invincible stance!
After a year of crossing over, managing a struggling third-class sect, the crisis faced in this year is a life-or-death battle against a Holy Son level character.
Is this simple?
Simple a hammer!
It's fortunate that I've managed to recruit two protagonist template disciples; otherwise, where would the odds of victory come from?
But thinking again, without the protagonist template, perhaps the crisis wouldn't be as daunting?
But this is just speculation.
Instead, Lin Fan suddenly understood something else.
"I wonder if that game is a 'fishing' exercise. If so, then anyone who downloads and opens it can cross over as a sect leader?"
"..."
"I guess that's why there are no comments."
Damn it!
No parachute, no comments!
Playing this already counts as quite a challenge, surviving a small annual crisis is already tough, let alone clearing the game?
Daring not to think, not daring to think.
Though the explanation was slow, in reality, it was just a moment.
Lin fan comprehended everything.
Xiao Ling'er lightly bit her lip.
She wasn't worried, wanting to fight, but considering the life and death of the entire sect rested on her, she felt immense pressure and couldn't help but hesitate...
Just then, Lin Fan's warm hand gently rubbed her soft black hair.
"Don't worry"
"Do your best."
"We all believe in you."
Xiao Ling'er was taken aback.
Immediately, the five elders and seven auspicious beasts spoke up.
"Go, Ling'er."
"We all believe in you."
"Whether you win or lose, we have no regrets."
"Show your style."
"Sister, we all believe in you!"
"You've won once, you can win again!"
Even Fan Jianqiang was waving his fists, fists, his face flushed red: "Sister, cheers!"
Xiao Ling'er's eyes misted up, but were immediately dispelled.
"Alright!"
She nodded.
Sword Son Wen Jian? Even if you have the blessing of the Spirit Sword Sect, I have a reason I absolutely cannot lose!
...
But...
Their confidence made Wang Yulin, Liu Ergye, and others chuckle bitterly.
To them, Xiao Ling'er was indeed extraordinary. At her age, she had already reached the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm. This level of talent, in a third-class sect, was already at the peak.
Even in a slightly inferior second-rank sect, she would be a pillar of support and among the top ten disciples.
But the Spirit Sword Sect is a first-rank sect!
And it's a sword cultivation sect, best at offensive and large-scale battles.
In the most crucial moment, Wang Teng, who had yet to regain his human form, suddenly came to his senses. After understanding the situation, he let out a cold snort. "Give me three days, and I'll fight you. How about that?"
Wen Jian glanced at him and responded indifferently, "You're not worthy."
"You!!!"
Wang Teng was furious.
"Old man, I have the potential of an Emperor, and you say I'm not worthy?" Wang Yulin quickly grabbed him and forcibly restrained him, preventing him from speaking nonsense and causing trouble.
"Ensure a fair fight. It concerns my Dao Heart and Sword Intent."
Ignoring Wang Teng, Wen Jian spoke softly.
"Yes, Sword Son, Your Highness!"
The two protectors responded in unison, then used their aura to intimidate the crowd.
"A battle in the heavens."
After leaving these words, Wen Jian stepped on his flying sword and rose into the sky.
Xiao Ling'er remained silent but also flew up, following closely behind.
The Fourth Cavern Realm Cultivator's body contained an immense amount of Profound Essence Qi, allowing him to fly for extended periods without worrying about consumption.
However, each had their unique flying methods.
Sword Cultivators loved flying with their swords, and the faster they went, the less energy they consumed.
Many ordinary Cultivators also enjoyed flying with swords, but a considerable number chose to ride clouds or had their own flying secret techniques, ensuring they weren't too slow.
"Don't be careless!"
As they ascended, Liang Danxia, the Medicine Granny, spoke up, "I'm just a remnant soul, and I misjudged him earlier."
"He actually possesses the Sword Spirit Holy Body. When we first met, his Holy Body wasn't activated, so I didn't sense it."
"After entering the Spirit Sword Sect, someone must have discovered his physique and activated it with astonishing means. Now, he's a complete Sword Cultivator with a Holy Body."
"With the potential to become an immortal ancestor, in a less dazzling era, he could suppress an entire generation and be invincible among his peers."
It wasn't that she didn't believe in Xiao Ling'er, but the Holy Body was genuinely terrifying.
The Sword Spirit Holy Body was a bit 'unreasonable,' with offensive power comparable to some of the strongest physiques.
The division of cultivation talents wasn't complex.
There were three grades: upper, middle, and lower.
Above that were the three heavenly tiers: Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Even rarer, above these, were the special physiques found in one out of a million, the Spirit Body.
Above the Spirit Body was the Holy Body.
And above the Holy Body was the Divine Body.
Among ordinary people, those with cultivation talent were one in a hundred.
Most of these were lower-grade talents.
Upper-grade talents were even rarer, and Lin Fan himself possessed an upper-grade talent.
The higher the grade, the rarer they became, with none found in tens of thousands, or even millions.
The Holy Body, though not the highest quality Divine Body, was still extremely terrifying and rarely seen. In a relatively ordinary era, it could suppress an entire generation, killing until no one in its generation dared to challenge it.
The Sword Spirit Holy Body was one of the strongest physiques among the many Holy Bodies, especially in terms of offensive power.
It was indeed formidable.
"I understand, Teacher."
"But I have my reasons not to lose!"
Xiao Ling'er's expression turned solemn.
"Hmm, you don't need to worry too much. You don't have a special physique, but I believe you're no less capable than those with special physiques."
"Even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in your Master."
"Among the rules for accepting disciples, even Holy Bodies, let alone Divine Bodies, not being considered..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling'er's heart stirred.
Indeed.
Although she didn't know the reason, her Master was mysterious, and in her Master's eyes, even Holy Bodies and Divine Bodies might not be that extraordinary. Instead, those seemingly 'unconventional' choices might be the ones her Master favored? As one of those choices...
She couldn't be inferior.
"Let's begin."
Wen Jian held a three-foot-long sword, and his sword intent swept through, causing everyone to shiver.
"Come and fight!"
Boom!
The Unextinguishable Swallowing Flame surged and instantly enveloped the area, making Xiao Ling'er appear like a descending goddess of fire.
"As expected, you've also become stronger. Now this is interesting."
Wen Jian held his sword horizontally and said calmly, "When I fought with my fellow disciples earlier, not one of them could make me happy."
Xiao Ling'er remained silent.
She punched out.
Boom!
The punch exploded like a thunderclap, shooting towards Wen Jian.
"The Unusual Flame is indeed powerful, but your cultivation is the same as mine. You can't unleash its full might, but I fear nothing."
Sizzle!
He swung his sword.
The Holy Body resonated with the three-foot-long sword in his hand, and a unique light flowed between them.
Then, he slashed through the pillar of fire, and a shocking sword energy shot towards Xiao Ling'er's face.
Xiao Ling'er's expression remained calm as she waved her fist to block the sword energy.
"Sword..."
"I know a thing or two about swords as well."
Boom, boom, boom!
The Unusual Flame condensed into a sword, but it wasn't a three-foot-long sword; instead, it was a thick, heavy sword!
"Thousand Flame Void Piercing Sword!"
Shred!
The giant sword tore through the air, and the Unusual Flame erupted. The massive sword energy, enveloped by the Unextinguishable Swallowing Flame, seemed to split the heavens and pierce the void.
"This sword is not bad, but you're not a Sword Cultivator. It's ultimately a step behind."
"Watch me break it."
Wen Jian moved calmly, his wrist trembled, and he pointed his sword, which shone like a thousand stars.
"One Sword, Embrace the Galaxy."
He whispered, and as he swung his sword, the power of a galaxy gathered, colliding head-on with Xiao Ling'er.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The starlight exploded, and the enormous fiery sword energy instantly shattered and dispersed...
But even as the sword energy dissipated, the Unusual Flame continued to burn.
It even devoured the remnants of Wen Jian's sword energy, growing stronger.
The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and the air distorted.
The distant white clouds shrank rapidly and evaporated at an astonishing speed.
"Is this the characteristic of the Unusual Flame?"
As the Unusual Flame approached, Wen Jian frowned slightly, "Can it devour and burn other objects?"
"There's some method to it."
"Again!"
He roared and immediately took a strange stance.
It didn't look like he was using a sword at all; instead, it resembled wielding an axe or a single-handed hatchet as he slashed downward.
"Great River Sword Dao!"
Boom!
The sound of raging waves echoed.
"What is that?!"
Left Qingqing and the disciples of the Six Sects were utterly shocked: "Ri... river water?!"
They were stunned.
Above the sky, a vast expanse of river water suddenly appeared, forming a surging torrent, accompanied by terrifying sounds of waves crashing against the shore, leaving everyone in awe.
"It's sword qi!"

"Even if Chen Bixuan almost slipped up earlier, it was just a momentary lapse in concentration. Moreover, she didn't actually fail, did she?"
"Even if Wen Jian and the other are now going all out, it's not like over twenty Fifth Firmament Realm cultivators can't stop them, right???"
"That's just the aftermath of the battle!"
"I think..."
"They can't stop it."
Lin Fan smiled.
Although he didn't know what means Wen Jian was about to use, he was well aware of Xiao Ling'er's abilities!
