69: Chapter 69 Are you a duck? Why are you so stubborn?
Master Han Fei was stunned for a moment.
He looked deeply at Lin Fan, the appreciation in his eyes growing even stronger.
"Primordial Five Elements, evolving into chaos..."
Master Han Fei muttered to himself, then laughed loudly, "Good! What a 'greater than supreme grade'! The younger generation today is truly crazier than we were back then! This path is perilous, but if it can be achieved, it will be... unprecedented!"
The two of them, one old and one young, sat and discussed the Dao in this illusory space.
From the interaction of the Five Elements to the evolution of the Divine Treasury, from the construction of the Qi Sea to the laws of heaven and earth.
Relying on his terrifying Comprehension Ability of Lv201, Lin Fan was often able to draw inferences about other cases from one instance, and the insights he proposed made even Master Han Fei nod repeatedly.
Outside.
The surroundings were silent.
Qin Mie and the others watched Lin Fan, whose finger was pressed against the stele without moving, and were feeling somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly.
"Hum—!!"
The iron blood stele, which had been silent for three hundred years, erupted with a wave of holy might!
"What?!"
Before Qin Mie could react, he was sent flying dozens of meters back by this wave of holy might, and those soldiers who were close by were knocked over, falling into disarray.
"This... what is happening?!"
Everyone looked up in shock.
They saw that on the black iron blood stele, a huge golden illusory image had appeared.
In the image, Lin Fan was sitting opposite an old man whose face could not be seen clearly, talking eloquently. The old man nodded and laughed from time to time.
"That is... Dharma Saint Master Han Fei?!"
An old general with white hair and beard was trembling with excitement, "My god! A manifestation of a saint! The Dharma Saint has manifested! He is discussing the Dao with Lin Fan?!"
"My god... what kind of monster is this Lin Fan?"
"To be recognized by the Dharma Saint, and even sit and discuss the Dao... this is no longer a genius, this is a disciple of a saint!"
On the plaza, hundreds of thousands of soldiers watched this scene, the sadness in their eyes replaced by huge shock and fanaticism.
In this era where the human race is weak and surrounded by alien races, what could be more inspiring and hopeful than seeing the rise of an unparalleled genius?
Qin Mie steadied his figure, watching that young figure chatting happily with the saint, his eyes full of complexity and relief.
"This kid..."
Qin Mie clenched his fists, "Perhaps, he really is the hope for the revival of our human race."
The illusory image gradually dissipated.
Lin Fan's finger left the stele, and his eyes regained clarity.
He did not know what had just happened outside, but he felt refreshed, and his understanding of the "Chaos Star Qi Sea Scripture" had deepened by another layer.
"The memorial... is over."
Qin Mie's voice sounded again, but this time, there was an undisguisable high spirit in his tone.
Ten days later.
Inside Lin Fan's small courtyard.
"So this is the Bright Heart Dharma Eye..."
Lin Fan stood in front of the mirror, golden runes faintly circulating in his eyes. In his field of vision, the wall was no longer a wall, but an arrangement of countless earth element particles; the array nodes in the courtyard were even more clearly visible, like stars in the night sky.
"With these eyes, plus my Comprehension Ability, all arrays in the world can be broken."
Just then, his tactical terminal vibrated.
Qin Mie's message was short and powerful: "Come to the military department. The Heavenly Snake Clan ruins are about to open."
Half an hour later, at the military department's combat conference room.
"You will lead this mission."
Qin Mie pointed to the five young officers behind him, "These five are the students with the best attainments in arrays in the military academy, and they are also your team members. Liu Yuan, Zhao Gang..."
The five young men saluted in unison, their eyes filled with worship as they looked at Lin Fan. Ever since the manifestation of the iron blood stele, Lin Fan had become a god-like existence in their hearts.
"There is only one mission."
Qin Mie's expression was serious, "Enter the ruins and stop the Heavenly Snake Clan from obtaining the inheritance. If you can... snatch it!"
"Guarantee to complete the mission!"
Lin Fan grinned, "I'm best at snatching things."
Five days later.
Deep in the Fulong Mountain range, mist swirled.
This was the periphery of the Heavenly Snake Clan ruins, shrouded in natural arrays all year round, filled with crises.
"Captain, the mist array is ahead."
In the team, Liu Yuan, who wore glasses, looked at the array plate in his hand, his brows locked tight, "This array is very strange, the magnetic field is completely chaotic, my array plate keeps jumping around."
"Just follow me."
Lin Fan activated the Bright Heart Dharma Eye, and the mist before his eyes instantly became thin, a safe path clearly appearing under his feet.
Everyone carefully passed through the mist.
When the scene before them suddenly opened up, everyone gasped.
They saw a huge valley ahead, and in the center of the valley, an ancient stone staircase led straight to the sky, as if connecting to the heavenly realm.
And below the stone staircase, a group of uninvited guests were already standing.
"Yo, isn't this that 'Heaven-defying Marrow Cleansing Realm' Lin Fan?"
A contemptuous voice sounded.
Lin Fan looked up.
He saw a young man wearing a golden robe, with a golden vertical pupil growing between his eyebrows, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a playful expression. Behind the young man stood none other than that War General Tianmu who had once hunted Lin Fan!
The Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Snake Clan!
The Ninth Prince looked Lin Fan up and down, those golden vertical pupils full of playfulness: "I heard you survived under the death warrant, and even killed quite a few pieces of trash? Interesting. However..."
"These ruins are the inheritance left by the ancestors of our Heavenly Snake Clan."
The Ninth Prince stretched out a slender finger, pointing to the stone staircase reaching the sky behind him, "The array here was laid by a top master. With just your human race's shallow attainments in arrays, you want to touch it?"
He sneered, "I advise you to kneel and beg for mercy now, and this Prince might consider leaving your corpse intact. Otherwise, once you step onto these stairs, the array has no eyes, and you will die miserably."
"So much nonsense."
Lin Fan picked his ear, looking impatient, "Are you a duck? Why is your mouth so stiff? Did your family build this road? Did they write your name on it?"
After speaking, Lin Fan didn't even look at the Ninth Prince and walked straight toward the stone staircase.
"Seeking death!"
The Ninth Prince sneered and stepped back, "Since you are in such a hurry to be reincarnated, then please go ahead."
Lin Fan stepped one foot onto the first step.
"Hum—!"
In an instant, the scene before his eyes changed suddenly.
The originally ordinary stone steps turned into endless cliffs, with every step suspended in the air. And at the end of his line of sight, a magnificent palace in the clouds appeared faintly, emitting alluring treasure light.
"Careful!"
Liu Yuan, who was following behind, exclaimed. He took out a live rabbit used for scouting from his backpack and threw it hard toward the step in front.
"Zzzzt!"
As soon as the rabbit landed, it didn't even have time to let out a scream before it turned into a pile of ashes!
"Hiss..."
The team members behind all gasped, their faces deathly pale.
"This is a variant of the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Extermination Array'!"
Liu Yuan was sweating profusely, holding the detailed explanation of arrays given by Old Zhao, his hands shaking, "Every step has countless array nodes, and you can only survive by stepping on the only life gate array eye. And this array eye is moving, changing every second!"
"Scared already?"
On the other side, the Ninth Prince let out a sneer.
He saw him move, and he actually stepped directly onto the stairs. Every time he took a step, a strange snake-shaped rune would light up under his feet, steadily supporting his body.
One step, two steps, ten steps...
The Ninth Prince walked as if on flat ground, and in the blink of an eye, he had already climbed dozens of steps.
"Do you see the gap?"
The Ninth Prince stood on the high ground, looking down at Lin Fan and the others with a sense of superiority on his face, "When it comes to array talent, my Heavenly Snake Clan are natural array masters! You humble humans only deserve to struggle in the mud!"
