"What you said does make sense."
Gong Bo thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
Yes, only a fool would follow the other’s instructions obediently.
Now that the opportunity is rare, taking advantage and gaining benefits is the most important thing.
When those old guys can’t bear it anymore, we can go and hunt down the Chen guy.
...
Anshan City.
Chen Fan told Elder Wang everything that had happened before.
Including going to the Liu Family later and taking the secret realm from them.
Elder Wang took a deep breath upon hearing this.
The secret realm, even in his era, was something that only a very few families possessed.
Like the spatial treasure, Yellow Sand Tower, he gave to Shi Tao, with a very small space inside, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within was no different from the outside.
Even so, he had paid a huge price to obtain it.
But the Yellow Sand Tower was not on the same level as those secret realms that could accommodate thousands of people held by the noble families.
"Moreover, there are three more Divine Demon-level martial arts."
Chen Fan took out a sheepskin scroll, a stone slab, and two pieces of yellow cloth.
The sheepskin scroll recorded the seventh volume of the Longevity Technique, the Yang Chapter. Like the Water Scripture, it had tadpole-like characters and a cultivation route map of the human body.
The two pieces of yellow cloth seemed to be torn from a Kasaya and were incomplete, recording the first two Chapters of the Six Gods Technique.
The stone slab recorded the Celestial Spirit Qi Technique of the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill.
"Divine Demon-level martial arts?"
Looking at these things in front of him, Elder Wang was stunned.
Divine Demon-level martial arts! Even a little bit of information about them could stir a bloody storm in the human world.
Yet Chen Fan took out three or four of them casually.
Of course, these were snatched from others, but then again, these things were also robbed by the Liu Family, Bai Family, and Song Family from their predecessors.
"Elder Wang, you can take a look at this Longevity Technique."
Chen Fan handed over the sheepskin scroll, "On the way back, I studied it for a while and found that if mastered, it could greatly speed up the cultivation process. You are now at the Mid Stage of Celestial Human Realm. Once mastered, advancing to the Late Stage of Celestial Human Realm, or even to the Divine Cultivation Realm, is not impossible."
He said this because he had already cultivated this scroll to Perfection on his way back.
Once cultivated to Perfection, the cultivation speed for a Celestial Realm Martial Artist could increase more than tenfold, which was quite astonishing.
"Cultivating to the Divine Cultivation Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang waved his hand repeatedly.
"Chen Fan, you are overestimating me. The Longevity Technique is a Divine Demon-level martial art. Over the centuries, many strong individuals have tried to uncover its mysteries, all to no avail. My talent among Celestial Realm Martial Artists is average, how could I possibly comprehend this cultivation technique?"
After saying this, he felt deeply moved.
After all, this was a Divine Demon-level martial art.
Chen Fan had just gotten his hands on it and was already willing to give it to him.
"Elder Wang, don’t you know that many cultivation techniques rely on fate? Take it back and study it, you might just understand it," Chen Fan said with a mysterious smile.
He certainly did not expect Elder Wang to fully comprehend it.
He intended to use the excuse of mutual discussion to gradually guide Elder Wang.
As for the Six Gods Technique and the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill, they were too focused on killing, and Elder Wang had never been fond of fighting.
Therefore, the Longevity Technique suited him best.
"This..."
Elder Wang hesitated.
He looked at the sheepskin scroll in front of him.
Honestly, who could remain indifferent in the face of a Divine Demon-level martial art?
Besides, what Chen Fan said hit the nail on the head. Or rather, everyone who obtained a Divine Demon-level martial art thought the same.
Others might fail, but perhaps I can succeed?
"Alright, it’s settled then."
Chen Fan smiled and put the other items back into the spatial ring.
"Elder Wang, next I plan to visit the Red Dragon Sect and deal with those guys."
"What?"
Hearing this, Elder Wang was shocked, his mouth agape, shaking his head and waving his hands, "No, you must not, Chen Fan. Those ghostly creatures have existed for hundreds or thousands of years. They are not easy to deal with."
He initially wanted to say they were not something they could handle.
On second thought, Chen Fan’s strength had already surpassed his understanding. Even figures like the Song Family Ancestor were easily killed by him, so he immediately changed his words.
"I know."
Chen Fan nodded, saying, "But time is tight and we have no other choice."
He continued, "Those ghosts are indeed treacherous, but they must also know where to find many Supreme-level martial arts, perhaps even complete ones. So I want to go and obtain these things from them."
For him now, exchanging for Supreme-level martial arts was too easy.
But Supreme-level martial arts were not Unparalleled-level.
Unparalleled-level martial arts, once the conditions were met, usually required two or three days to complete.
As for Supreme-level martial arts, it took even longer. For example, the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship; even with his extremely high Basic Sword Technique level and Perfection in Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, it would still take ten days to complete the strongest version of the Six Extinctions Selfless Sword Twenty-Three.
Ten days, and the four Beast Emperor-level fierce beasts would arrive in Anshan City within seven days, by which time the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship would still be incomplete.
As for completing Divine Demon-level martial arts, he did not dare consider it for now. Even if he managed to obtain a partial improvement in combat power, he would be very satisfied.
Even if he met the completion conditions, it would take at least a month.
Therefore, he planned to re-enter the Red Dragon Sect, or even go straight to the sect’s ruins to face those ghosts directly.
The complete versions of Supreme-level martial arts were quite powerful.
Besides the Six Extinctions Selfless Sword Twenty-Three.
There was also the No Desire Technique, which could enhance the power of cultivation techniques by one or even several levels.
The Ten Thousand Dao Forest that could absorb others’ power and martial arts experiences, becoming almost invincible after Great Success. And other techniques like the Heavenly Chaos Four Extremes, capable of splitting mountains and rocks.
However, the latter ones were somewhat peculiar.
The Ten Thousand Dao Forest seemed like an upgraded version of the Star Absorption Technique. Absorbing too much could risk personality splits; Carefree Wander, though a Supreme-level martial art, might not completely counteract the internal demon nature it fostered, which would grow increasingly stronger over time.
The Heavenly Chaos Four Extremes, though lacking this risk, had a more fatal flaw: during the daytime, the power would drastically diminish, making it somewhat useless.
As for the strongest Red Fire Divine Skill, it required abandoning the mortal body and only cultivating the Primordial Spirit, which seemed like a road of no return. Achieving the Divine Cultivation Realm with foundational techniques like the Longevity Technique and the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill might be more reliable.
Moreover, obtaining the complete versions of these techniques would be difficult, so he would be satisfied with just the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship or the No Desire Technique.
Elder Wang was quite worried upon hearing this.
"How about this, Chen Fan, I will go with you."
He knew Chen Fan was under great pressure. With everything that had happened, the Elder Council would not let it go, and the fierce beasts were eyeing them hungrily.
"No need."
Chen Fan chuckled, "I can handle it alone. Don’t worry, Elder Wang, even if I can’t deal with those guys, they can’t do anything to me either."
Besides the Longevity Technique, he had also elevated the Observing the Universe Technique to the first level. In theory, it was slightly weaker than the Thunder Emperor and others, as they were mostly at the second level.
But his Spiritual Power value was so high that even the first level equaled the Thunder Emperor and the others in Spiritual Power.
In some ways, he was already in the Divine Cultivation Realm.
This was why he was confident about entering the Red Dragon Sect.
"You..."
Seeing this, Elder Wang knew that Chen Fan’s mind was made up, and no matter what he said, he wouldn’t listen.
Helpless, he could only sigh and remind Chen Fan to be extremely careful.
