Chapter 1290: Immortal Explains
"...So it turns out that experts at this level don't use any fancy moves when they fight. Just one or two strikes and that huge cliff was split in two..."
"Wow, so many people have come." Antonio's voice betrayed a clear sense of schadenfreude. "Oh, and they don't all look too happy."
His vivid description brought the scene to Lin Fan's mind, and he warned, "Stay away, don't get accidentally hurt."
The senior brother will be fine, but it's hard to say about Antonio, that clown.
"Don't worry," the other side laughed, "I'm still on your peak, so far away, and there's a protective barrier around me, so you can't hurt me."
Lin Fan thought about their location; they were still some distance from Lingyin Peak.
Their eyesight is better than that of ordinary people, but even with the naked eye, they cannot see the movements of the two people on Lingyin Peak.
“Aren’t you silly?” Antonio laughed. “Have you forgotten about the telescope?”
Oh... Lin Fan had actually forgotten for a moment.
Having spent over a year in the world of cultivation, I've grown accustomed to the ancient and elegant cultivation lifestyle, and technological products seem to have become relics of the past.
"So how is it now?" Lin Fan changed the subject. "Is Senior Brother able to handle it all by himself?"
This guy is also a tough guy.
He went to Changtianmen to rescue people under the guise of the Youye Sect, but ended up blowing up the mountain of people...
Is he really not afraid of Changtian Sect retaliating against Youye Sect...?
"He doesn't need anyone to worry about him, sigh..."
Antonio's momentum suddenly weakened, and before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan's door was pushed open.
Le Zhengyuan walked in with an angry face, followed by a middle-aged man with an unpleasant expression.
The person's skin was pale, almost transparent, as if it hadn't seen the light for a long time, and you could vaguely see the bluish blood vessels under the skin, like faint patterns.
Her disheveled hair resembled corn silk, her bun was askew to one side, and it was covered in dust.
He wore a dark gray robe made of rough fabric, with noticeable frayed edges on the cuffs and collar.
He straightened his disheveled shirt as he entered.
His hands were well-defined, fair, and long, with neatly trimmed nails. They didn't match his unkempt appearance at all.
Le Zhengyuanqing led the people to Lin Fan's bedside, said "You guys talk," and sat down on the stool at the head of the bed, closing his eyes and remaining silent.
Lin Fan looked up and saw a pair of extremely pale, glassy eyes staring at him. Like a frozen lake, they were filled with an unfathomable indifference…
This is the person who went head-to-head with Yue Zhengyuanqing...
Does Changtianmen have such a person? Lin Fan searched his memory.
While she was thinking, the other person scrutinized her as if they were seeing her for the first time.
"Oh dear! What's going on here?" Antonio's head suddenly appeared in the doorway, and he jumped in. "Why are you all standing? Come, come, sit down. Sit down and let's talk."
I don't know where he found the stool, but he placed it behind the middle-aged man.
With a fawning smile, he retreated to the foot of Lin Fan's bed and plopped down on it.
The middle-aged man glanced at the guards on both sides who were protecting the person on the couch, chuckled, and sat down.
"What do you want to know?"
He had expected to be questioned by Yue Zhengyuanqing, but to his surprise, that guy brought him directly to this girl.
He was even more taciturn than I was...
The middle-aged man glanced at Yue Zhengyuanqing.
Oh well! Who told him he was simply less skilled?
Lin Fan indeed had many questions, and seeing that the answers had been presented to him, he didn't stand on ceremony. He respectfully sat cross-legged on the couch, bowed, and asked.
"May I ask your name, senior?" The other person lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few moments before replying, "Your honorific title is Lin Yuan."
"Venerable Lin Yuan?" Lin Fan thought of Bin Ze and then asked, "Venerable One, do you know Venerable Bin Ze?"
Lin Yuan's cold and stern expression suddenly changed: "Who are you talking about?"
“Venerable Binze,” Lin Fan repeated, “once ascended to sainthood, and according to him, his title was Binze.”
Lin Yuan stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes for a long time, his expression complicated, and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why do you recognize Venerable Binze? Could it be... that you are really from the Upper Realm?"
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't feel the tension he expected from having his identity exposed.
Perhaps because we weren't familiar with each other, once we talked it out, there was a sense of openness and honesty that made it easier to be frank.
“We encountered Venerable Binze outside the boundary and were invited by him to visit his hometown, but unexpectedly, things have changed.” Lin Fan was unsure of Lin Yuan’s situation and simplified the relevant information about Binze. “Binze wants to find his sect, Tianji Sect, and we also want to help.”
"Help?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Help me like this, under the guise of stealing my skills?"
The words were harsh, but they were the truth. Lin Fan was momentarily speechless and unable to refute them.
“Hey~” Antonio was displeased. “This Venerable One can’t just say things like that. With such a powerful expert as our senior brother around, why would he need to learn from you? He just wants to integrate quietly, without causing any trouble in this world, and secretly search for clues.”
Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment. He glanced at Le Zheng Yuanqing, who remained completely unmoved, and felt that... it did indeed make some sense.
Their senior brother possessed this ability… proving that the cultivation level of the other party was far higher than this one. Since they came from the lower realm, they indeed had no need to steal his teachings…
Seeing that Lin Yuan was speechless, Lin Fan didn't dare to let the words fall to the ground and quickly asked, "Does the Venerable One know Venerable Binze?"
Lin Yuan shook his head, skipping the previous topic: "I wouldn't say I know him, I just know him. When he ascended, I had just entered the immortal sect. So, in a way, he should be my senior."
Lin Fan and Antonio exchanged a glance: "So, senior, are you an ancient immortal?"
It is said that there were no people left in the ancient world, but now one has suddenly appeared.
Oh, including Binze, that makes two.
“Immortals…” Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, “No, I haven’t ascended to immortality, so I can’t be considered an immortal. But I was indeed born in ancient times.”
No wonder!
No wonder he has such sealing abilities!
He didn't ascend, which means he's already reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Considering the ages of ancient times plus all these years in the New World... calling him an ancestor is perfectly acceptable.
"Where is Venerable Binze now?" Lin Yuan didn't care what Lin Fan and the others were thinking; he was more concerned about the place he knew well.
"I don't know." Lin Fan shook his head and told them about Binze's split-up. "We've lost contact for a long time. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I suspect that he might have already entered the ancient world."
Sensing the other's gaze, Lin Yuan frowned and pondered for a moment: "I don't know about that. I only sealed off the two realms and maintained the separation with spiritual power. But this net is too wide and has been in place for too long. There are bound to be weak points, and it's hard to be thorough. It's difficult to detect whether a few individuals have entered."
As Lin Yuan finished speaking, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face, and he glanced at Le Zheng Yuanqing again, somewhat unwillingly.
“So,” Antonio quickly flattered, “the Venerable One didn’t even go all out in the match just now. To maintain the barrier of the entire world for thousands of years is truly…amazing!”
Lin Yuan, flattered by his praise, also felt that if he were at his peak, he might not have lost...
But thinking about Yue Zhengyuan's sword, he ultimately said nothing.
"Is it maintaining the isolation between the two realms, rather than a barrier in a specific place?" Lin Fan said. "I thought there were only a few barriers sealing the swamp forest and the area below Mingmin Mountain."
Lin Yuan sighed softly and looked at Lin Fan.
"Didn't you personally experience those poisonous creatures below? They're omnipresent. If the ancient world hadn't been completely sealed off and isolated, where would this new world be?"
Indeed, the polluting and penetrating power of radiation cannot be eliminated by ordinary means or by metabolism over time.
Sure enough, that was the ancient world! That seal was Lin Yuan's doing! Only then did Lin Fan realize it completely.
From this perspective, it can be said that Lin Yuan single-handedly protected the entire Planet Polun!
Suddenly, this cold-faced, thin-figured man appeared imposing.
"Are you aware that Lingzhen Pavilion treats the ancient world as its own treasure trove, frequently entering and leaving to retrieve treasures?"
