Chapter 228: Secret Record, Obtaining the Six Elements Body Rule
Lin Yan showed considerable approval of Lin Fan's words. He also knew very well that the Great Yan Dynasty was just a small kingdom within the Tianxuan Continent. In the entire Tianxuan Continent, there are countless such kingdoms. What really matters are the powerful superpowers. To become a warlord in this Tianxuan Continent, one must stand out among these superpowers or become the supreme ruler of an even larger domain.
But Lin Yan also understood that these things were still very far from him at the moment. Although he was almost invincible within the Great Yan Dynasty now, if he really left the Great Yan Dynasty in the future, he would realize that the outside world is even more exciting.
"Speaking of which, you don't know exactly what the Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties is, do you?"
Seeing a flash of interest in Lin Yan's eyes, Lin Fan thought his previous words had successfully moved Lin Yan. Therefore, after looking at Lin Yan again, he quickly asked him another question.
"I only have a superficial understanding of it," said Lin Yan with a slight smile, not going into details.
Lin Fan chuckled upon hearing this: "The Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties, as the name suggests, is a battle between hundreds of dynasties."
"Our continent is called the Tianxuan Continent. The Tianxuan Continent is divided into four parts: east, west, south, and north. And our Great Yan Dynasty belongs to the Eastern Continent."
Lin Fan patiently explained to Lin Yan. And Lin Yan listened humbly. After all, Lin Fan had much experience and knowledge after many years, so he didn't mind listening a bit more. Then, Lin Fan continued.
"As for the other three continents, my knowledge is very limited. After all, they are too far from us."
"Even a Nirvana Realm expert would have difficulty flying alone in the Eastern Continent. The territory is vast and unimaginable. There are countless dynasties, and practically every day there are dynasties that fade away or rise up. And our Great Yan Dynasty is just one among these countless dynasties."
This is where Lin Fan finally got to the point.
"And this Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties is a super competition in which all the dynasties of the Eastern Continent participate."
"Although it's called the Battle of the Hundred Dynasties, in reality, there are many more participating dynasties than a hundred. After all, how many dynasties are there in the entire Eastern Continent?"
"And as long as you can stand out in this Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties, you can join those powerful and almost divine sects. Once inside those sects, you will really be like a fish leaping through the dragon's gate, soaring to the heavens in one jump."
Lin Fan feared that Lin Yan might not understand the importance of this, so he continued speaking.
"Don't be fooled by the apparent strength of our dynasties. In the eyes of those great powers, we are as weak as ants. And if you can really stand out in the Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties, the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be protected thanks to you."
"The surrounding dynasties will not dare to offend us upon seeing you, and they will even have to bow down to us. And most importantly, once you enter those sects, you will have countless resources, and the experts there are not limited to the Nirvana Realm. I don't know the exact details, but I've heard that the top experts in those sects basically have control over life and death."
Upon reaching this point, Lin Fan smiled and said, "So now that you know, do you realize how important the Great Battle of the Hundred Dynasties is and what opportunities it will bring you once you stand out in it?"
But he didn't want to pressure Lin Yan too much. The reason he said so much was to give him some motivation. After all, Lin Yan was a newcomer and was not originally from the Lin family. If he wanted him to really participate in the Battle of the Seeds, he needed him to understand the benefits of winning. So Lin Fan had spoken so much this time.
But seeing Lin Yan's attitude, Lin Fan was quite satisfied. It seemed that his long words had not been in vain.
"Well, now you can give me an answer."
"Lin Yan, are you willing to participate in this Battle of the Seeds?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan replied with a smile to Lin Fan: "Of course I am."
But then he quickly added: "However, clan leader, I also have a recommendation for another candidate. I think he can also participate with me."
Lin Fan was slightly surprised to hear this: "Who?"
Lin Yan smiled slightly: "Lin Dong."
Lin Fan was puzzled: "Lin Dong?"
He had some impression of Lin Dong, but since he had never seen him in action, he didn't know exactly what his strength was. So, after hearing what Lin Yan said, Lin Fan asked curiously: "How strong is he?"
Lin Yan replied with a smile after thinking for a moment: "Clan leader, what do you think of my strength?"
After reflecting for a moment, Lin Fan replied: "Unless something unexpected happens, your strength is the number one among the young people of our Great Yan Dynasty."
"Even Lin Langtian is no match for you at all. Although Wang Zhong is strong, he is only a bit more powerful than Lin Langtian. As for the others, they can't even compare. So within the entire Great Yan Dynasty, there shouldn't be any young people who are your match."
Lin Yan listened to this and smiled. "Then my judgment should hold weight."
"I think Lin Dong's strength is slightly superior to Lin Langtian's."
"Although he is not like me, if they really fought, Lin Langtian would not be his match."
"Maybe killing Lin Langtian would require a certain price, but if Lin Dong is willing to pay that price, he could even kill him."
Lin Fan was stunned to hear this.
"Is that true?" he asked.
Lin Yan replied with a smile: "Naturally."
Lin Fan immediately said: "In that case, he can also participate in the Battle of the Seeds."
Lin Yan replied with a smile: "Alright."
After that, he had a casual chat with Lin Fan.
After the brief chat, Lin Yan didn't stay long in the place. Instead, he quickly returned to his residence and informed Lin Dong, Lin Zhentian, and others about the situation. Everyone naturally agreed. Since it was Lin Yan's plan, basically no one in the Lin family would oppose it. So after hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Xiao spoke: "In that case, son, go with Yan. His plan surely won't be wrong."
Lin Zhentian also said seriously: "As I always say, the elder brother is like a father. When you're out, listen more to your brother."
Lin Dong nodded seriously. Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a bit moved by this. "It's not like we're leaving tomorrow. There's no rush, we'll see when the time comes."
"I just wanted to remind you in advance."
Then he quickly returned to his training.
The next morning, early, he took Lin Dong and Qing Tan to the Lin family den.
He didn't take anyone else.
Because Mu Qianqian, after all, was not from the Lin family, so it wouldn't be appropriate to take her to that place. And Xiaocai didn't need to go at all. Therefore, these two places were naturally the most suitable for Qing Tan and Lin Dong.
Qing Tan's current power was not bad. Two years had passed, and she had already reached the Great Perfection stage of Formation. Although she was still quite behind him and Lin Dong, she had a certain level of skill. Therefore, Lin Yan took them directly to the Lin family den.
The three quickly arrived at the agreed place and then, after waiting for a while, met with the Great Elder.
"You've arrived."
"In that case, follow me."
"You really have luck this time. Usually, only those who have achieved great merits can enter the Lin family den. You two have been benefited by Lin Yan, so you can also enter. Make sure to thank him."
The Great Elder told Lin Dong and Qing Tan.
Lin Dong and Qing Tan nodded at the Great Elder and continued moving forward quickly. However, as they proceeded, the Great Elder suddenly spoke again: "Today, Lin Langtian has retreated to meditate. It seems that what happened yesterday had a great impact on him."
"His cultivation has long reached the state of Great Perfection in the Formation Realm. This time, during his retreat, he will likely break through to reach Perfection in the Formation Realm. At that point, his combat strength will make a great leap."
The Great Elder finished speaking and looked at Lin Yan. But he noticed that Lin Yan showed no reaction to this news, clearly not worried about Lin Langtian. This made the Great Elder more certain of his suspicions.
"I suppose the last time you fought with Lin Langtian, you didn't go all out?" he asked.
Lin Yan just smiled slightly at this. "No way, he's too weak."
Hearing this, the corner of the Great Elder's mouth twitched involuntarily. Disregarding Lin Langtian for being weak—this kind of thing could only be done by Lin Yan in the entire Lin family. But one must admit that he really had the ability to do so.
Shaking his head helplessly, the Great Elder continued reminding him: "In any case, it would be better if you took this opportunity to meditate and see if you can advance a bit."
"Lin Langtian's personality doesn't easily forgive offenses. If he manages to advance, he will surely come to cause you trouble."
Lin Yan thanked the Great Elder for the advice. Although from his current perspective, someone like Lin Langtian was nothing more than a rotten fish, with no merit to compare to him. But since the Great Elder had good intentions, he didn't say much about it.
They continued on their way, passing through the intricate internal passages of the Lin family. Finally, after reaching a steep mountain wall, the Great Elder's pace gradually slowed. He pointed forward, where a pavilion was hidden among the vegetation, barely visible, and his voice rose.
"There is where the family's treasure is located." Then he pointed to an old man nearby: "This is Elder Lin Zhi. He is in charge of the family's treasure."
Lin Yan nodded with a smile. Then, after the old man opened the stone door, Lin Dong and the others entered directly. However, during this process, he noticed that Elder Lin Zhi had an extremely unpleasant attitude. With just a guess, he deduced that this elder was a supporter of Lin Langtian, and his attitude towards him became equally unpleasant.
"A mere outsider from a side branch also wants a place in the family. This time, I'll show you how deep our family's heritage runs!"
Seeing Lin Yan's attitude, the elder's anger grew. Watching their backs as they walked away, his eyes flashed with a murderous intent. Then, he quickly turned around and left.
Lin Yan and the others began searching for treasures in the family vault. During the search, he also looked for the place to mark his presence. After all, this was a special area, and theoretically, he should be able to complete the mark.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mark in the Lin family!" "Reward: Mid-level Earth combat technique, 'Six Worlds Body Staff'."
The system's voice sounded. After that, he began to learn about this Six Worlds Body Staff combat technique.
The Six Worlds Body Staff: a mid-level Earth combat technique. It combines attack and defense into one. It can attack and defend, making it the supreme combat technique created by staff experts who dominated the continent hundreds of years ago. The technique has three levels of mastery: Fire Fissure, Fire Navigation, and Six Worlds Fusion. To practice it, one must find a magma lake, create waves in the magma, and move among them without relying on combat Qi and without being stained by the magma. This is considered entering the initial stage of practice. With time and diligence, one can achieve mastery, merging attack and defense into one, making it impossible for someone of the same level to approach.
After learning about the technique, Lin Yan had a basic understanding of it. This combat technique wasn't too powerful. After all, Lin Yan already had the Imperial Seal, which included the Opening Seal and the Sea Wave Seal. He didn't need a mid-level Earth combat technique so much. But the issue was that this was a staff technique, which would be quite useful. After all, when Lin Yan used the Blood Dragon Staff, most of the time he only used one move, the Devouring Flame Wave. After using it, he would put the Blood Dragon Staff away. It was a bit wasteful. Now that he had obtained this staff technique, it would be useful to use it in the future when facing an enemy.
The group continued moving forward and soon discovered many treasures. This place truly deserved to be the hidden treasure of the Lin family. Many of the items here were extremely valuable. Any random item could cause a bloody fight. But Lin Yan was not an ordinary person, and these things obviously did not catch his eye. So he didn't stay long, instead continuing to move deeper with Lin Dong and Qing Tan.
Here, they quickly noticed that the Yuan Qi in the air became much denser. Lin Yan briefly sensed it and soon discovered that beneath the family treasure was a large formation. Although this large formation seemed a bit crude to him, the Lin family was rich and extravagant, and they had used a large amount of pure Yuan Dan to activate the large formation, causing Yuan Qi to emerge incessantly. If Lin Yan practiced here for a while, he should be able to make great advances.
