I Don’t Want To Defy The Heavens

Chapter 376: Low Profile Cultivation

Zhu Shen was constantly thinking about what was going to happen next.

He was under huge pressure. As Young Master Lin was by his side, he had to keep him safe. It was actually a good thing that he was now a pig; he wouldn’t attract attention and could also silently accompany Young Master Lin. With the element of surprise, he would have a huge advantage in battles.

Lin Fan didn’t hide anything, opening up the dimension to take out the cultivation techniques that he had collected.

After browsing through, he found only two Dao Realm techniques.

It wasn’t that embarrassing for Ocean Tide Temple to only have two Dao Realm cultivation techniques.

“Zhu Shen, you are at Dao Realm, so can you tell me the Dao Realm cultivation techniques that you cultivate?” Lin Fan asked.

Zhu Shen glanced at Young Master Lin and was a little confused, “Young Master Lin, why do you need Dao Realm cultivation techniques? If it is for cultivation, I don’t recommend you to learn mine as it is not compatible with you.”

“You can’t bear to give it up?” Lin Fan asked.

Zhu Shen was stunned and didn’t expect that Young Master Lin would be so direct. All of a sudden, Zhu Shen didn’t know what to reply with.

Shortly after, he came back to his senses and said anxiously.

“How is that possible? I am definitely willing.”

“I swear, I am really willing too.”

Zhu Shen thought that Young Master Lin didn’t believe him and continued with a solemn expression.

Lin Fan said, “That’s good. Quickly tell me the cultivation techniques you cultivate. I don’t have any Dao Realm techniques now even after I’ve reached Dao Realm. Moreover, isn’t it quite embarrassing that Ocean Tide Temple only has two?”

Zhu Shen really didn’t know what to say in response to Young Master Lin’s words.

“Young Master Lin, actually it is quite amazing that Ocean Tide Temple has two Dao Realm techniques.” Zhu Shen said.

“Is that so?” Lin Fan didn’t have much understanding regarding secret techniques.

Zhu Shen was helpless and could only say that a rich family Young Master didn’t understand how important techniques were.

Actually, since the previous time when Lin Fan went to Rong City to purchase techniques, he could tell that Grandmaster techniques were already extremely expensive. One didn’t even need to think about how expensive Dao Realm ones would be.

A Dao Realm technique, no matter how weak it was, was a priceless treasure.

It was quite remarkable that a mid-tier sect like Ocean Tide Temple could have two Dao Realm cultivation techniques.

As for secret techniques, it depended solely on luck.

Anyway, Ocean Tide Temple didn’t have any of such.

In the words of other people, secret techniques were close to the Dao and were only obtained by luck.

However, Lin Fan didn’t know how important secret techniques were. Last time, he was able to obtain the Blood Demon Reversal Technique by luck.

Zhu Shen walked beside Lin Fan and cut off the surrounding environment. It was as if he was wary that other people would hear.

Cha Fu glanced and looked towards Zhu Shen in disdain. Who was he hiding things from? Wasn’t it so obvious that it was him?

Isn’t it just a Dao Realm cultivation technique? What is there to be afraid of? even if he wanted to tell him he might not be willing to listen?

But… it was really tempting.

Cha Fu looked like he didn’t care at all, but he tried his best to eavesdrop. However, Zhu Shen was skilled. After all, he was several realms higher than him, so he didn’t manage to hear anything.

After trying for a long while without success, Cha Fu gave up. Zhu Shen was just too stingy.

“Walk over and massage my shoulders.”

Xu Furong used his elbow to push his junior brother, “Go, Master is calling for you, your chance to shine is here.”

“Then, why aren’t you going?” Zhen Xiaobao said.

“I am the Senior Brother, such good things must be left for you.” Xu Furong said, “Go quickly, don’t make Master impatient.”

Zhu Shen told Lin Fan about every single technique he cultivated. After Lin Fan saw Zhu Shen stop, he asked, “Is that it?”

“Yes, I only cultivated three. But Young Master Lin, don’t underestimate them, they aren’t simple. To cultivate them to a high realm, one must pay a high price.” Zhu Shen said.

If other people asked Zhu Shen for Dao Realm techniques, he would have probably beaten them to death. But since it was Lin Fan, he had no choice but to give it to him.

Lin Fan felt that it was too little. He only had five Dao Realm techniques. That was just pitiful.

Slaughtering Red Lotus

This Dao Realm technique was cultivated by Zhu Shen and it was a dual cultivation technique. Zhu Shen looked like someone who only used the blade, but actually, his hand to hand combat skills were really amazing.

Increase stats.

Consumed 10,000 rage points.

Slaughtering Red Lotus (Basics).

Instantly, a mysterious aura spread out from Lin Fan’s body.

Zhu Shen wanted to say something, but suddenly, his eyes were filled with shock, like he had seen a ghost.

“This…”

He had never seen someone who could manage to start cultivating after obtaining the technique.

That was because such people didn’t exist.

But the situation that occured in front of him…

A red lotus appeared around Young Master Lin, and shortly after, a Slaughtering Tower was floating on his head. Light shone from the tower and covered Young Master Lin.

Lin Fan sensed this mysterious power and felt like it was really overbearing and strong.

It gave him more and more thoughts on how to further improve.

Increase stats.

He consumed another 20,000 rage points.

Slaughtering Red Lotus (Mastery through comprehension)

The red lotus originally only had one petal but it had two now. The Slaughtering Tower also had two levels.

Kuang dang!

Zhu Shen laid on the ground and his eyes were about to pop out.

Damn!

He was seeing a ghost. This was just too terrifying. He didn’t even dare to believe his eyes.

“I have exposed a little too much.” Lin Fan didn’t worry about openly cultivating like that. It was just cultivation and there was nothing wrong with it.

But he closed his eyes and was able to sense that Zhu Shen was stunned. He was laying on the ground motionless, unable to accept what had happened.

Forget it.

It was best if he was more low profile in case he scared Zhu Shen even more.

Instantly, he retracted the red lotus and tower back into his body.

Improve!

….

Improve!

Slaughtering Red Lotus (Return to True)

He directly improved this Dao Realm technique to the highest realm. At the same time, it was transformed into a Dao pattern.

At that moment, there was a shocking change in the surrounding environment. The slightly dark forest seemed to be covered in a red light.

Zhu Shen looked at Young Master Lin with his mouth agape. What was going on? Master Lin, you had never said that Young Master Lin was so overpowered.

He became stronger again.

Another Dao pattern, from 73 to 74.

However, the consumption was also quite shocking.

He consumed a total of 210,000 rage points at once.

Remaining rage points: 30,355.

Only then did Lin Fan open his eyes. There was a six-petal lotus burning in his left eye and a six-floor tower in his right.

“Young Master, did you cultivate the Slaughtering Red Lotus to the highest realm?” Zhu Shen was stunned. Although he didn’t dare to believe it, the aura just now was just too shocking.

Lin Fan smiled. “Of course not, I am not that strong.”

Zhu Shen looked at Lin Fan. He chose to believe that he did at the start, but for some reason, his heart told him not to believe it, otherwise, it would have been a huge psychological blow.

Only when one used it would one realize that the rage points weren’t enough.

In the future, he couldn’t waste his rage points anymore.

He had to cherish them and accumulate more.

Now, he was only at the Dao Pattern Realm and was far from reaching the second stage. However, with his current strength, he would definitely be able to crush those at the second stage.

Haiz!

He was so strong that even he was terrified of himself.

Cha Fu didn’t know what to say. After coming into contact with him, he realized that his Young Master Lin was just a monster. To be able to succeed in learning a technique he just learned demonstrated that.

The next day, the group of them set off without a goal. At the same time, many things were happening in different areas.

King Wutong became the new emperor of the Imperial Dynasty. He prayed to his ancestors and took to the throne.

The cities around the Imperial Dynasty were now all in King Wutong’s hands.

But he knew that he was an emperor without any power. Of course, these were just his own thoughts, and the people around didn’t feel the same way.

He recruited experts and as long as they were willing to pledge loyalty he would reward them handsomely.

So, many experts came to serve him. Some were from mid tier sects and some were killers who had murdered many. In the past, for the safety of the Imperial Dynasty, these people definitely had to die but the times had changed. As long as one was strong enough, one could get whatever they wanted.

To the people, the change of Emperor didn’t affect them. Anyway, he was still the brother of the previous Emperor and they were from the same family.

Unfortunately, this was only for the cities close to the capital.

Those far away were gobbled up by the top sects.

It wasn’t that King Wutong didn’t want to claim those cities but Imperial Dynasty didn’t have the ability and it was just an empty shell.

The top sects and aristocratic families had long left.

Zhao Family, Su Family, etc., all evacuated.

However, it was much better for the cities to be under the sects than the Alliance.

The Alliance broke through the eight defense cities and occupied You City and Jiang City. They formed a line that stretched a long distance.

There were a total of 28 cities.

Most of the Jiang City people ran, but some of them weren’t willing to leave. The Alliance took over and they all became workers. Even the rich merchants were forced to do hard labor.

Of course, the Alliance Headquarters wanted to kill them all but the peace faction was really problematic. They opposed and forced their hand into making these people slaves.

As they were able to occupy so many cities, the people in the Alliance Land were all delighted.

After all, it was a giant victory and they were now able to expand. These 28 cities had huge potential too. Many Alliance civilians wanted to spend a large amount of money to come over to look at the living environment of the natives.

At the same time, many giant-like machines were transported over. They were placed on the land and worked day and night to dig for resources. It bought Alliance breathing room and reinforcements.

The top sects obviously picked up on the collaboration between the Alliance and the Imperial Dynasty.

They knew that the goal of the Alliance was territory and they definitely wouldn’t allow the top sects to occupy all the cities. This was why the top sects worked with one another to form a huge net.

White Lotus Saint Purity Mountain was on one side and roped in many of the top sects and formed the Buddha Alliance.

Guixian Island formed the Celestial Alliance.

Yin Yang Sect formed the Demon Alliance.

Xiedao Sect formed the Evil Alliance.

Now, these four Alliances snatched territory from all around. The top sects didn’t bother with one another but if the Alliance attacked, they would fight back.

This was something that the Alliance didn’t expect.

After all, even the Alliance didn’t think that the natives in the top sects would work together with one another.
