84: Earth War Emperor Technique

The Yangjia Village chief tentatively asked, "Young man, are you also surnamed Yang?"

"Yes."

Yang Qianhun replied indifferently.

"It is indeed so; our ancestors did not deceive me. Your appearance and surname are exactly consistent with the ancestral prophecy. Our Yangjia Village is finally saved."

The chief's old tears streamed down his face once more, and his hand gripping the cane trembled uncontrollably. The grievances he had endured these past few days were instantly released with the flow of his tears.

At one point, the chief had feared that Yangjia Village would be destroyed in his hands due to his incompetence.

With the appearance of Yang Qianhun, hope rekindled in his heart, and light reappeared in his eyes.

"Little friend Yang, how about coming to my house for a cup of water, and we can chat?"

The chief asked warmly.

"There's no need for that. Let these people disperse; we can just talk here."

Yang Qianhun was too lazy to waste time and decisively refused.

"Alright, alright."

The chief replied with a careful smile, then looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, go back and rest. You've been on edge these past few days, and it's been hard. Get some good rest."

As the villagers departed, the chief, supported by a young man, walked to a stone and slowly sat down.

After a moment of thought, he looked at Yang Qianhun and slowly spoke.

It must be said that this old chief was still strong for his age. He recounted everything that had happened between Yangjia Village and Xuejia Village from beginning to end, without stopping or even pausing for breath.

Yang Qianhun also heard the whole story clearly, though whether it was exactly as the chief described remained to be seen.

Originally, Yangjia Village and Xuejia Village shared water sources, and each village had half of the cultivated land and fruit orchards, maintaining a relatively peaceful coexistence.

However, a few days ago, Xuejia Village unilaterally declared that the water source, cultivated land, and fruit orchards could only be used by them, and Yangjia Village was forbidden to enter, or they would be killed.

Of course, how could Yangjia Village tolerate their overbearing actions? They immediately went to reason with them, which resulted in a fight.

The conflict escalated from small-scale skirmishes to a full-blown armed conflict between the two villages. Finally, with the support of a group of outsiders, Xuejia Village gained the upper hand.

Yangjia Village ultimately suffered heavy losses, just as the villagers had said earlier, and retreated into Yangjia Village.

But from this, Yang Qianhun also gained useful information, which was the answer to a previous doubt in his mind.

That is, why did that group of outsiders not pursue them to the death? It turned out that during their pursuit, they were blocked.

Mid-pursuit, they seemed to be stopped by some inexplicable force, or perhaps an invisible wall.

This allowed the people of Yangjia Village to escape, otherwise, they would have been completely wiped out.

And according to the dungeon's prompt, he needed to help them solve their difficulties and escape danger.

This meant that he had to kill that group of outsiders, and even the people of Xuejia Village.

Thinking of this, Yang Qianhun asked directly, "Then how do you wish for me to help you?"

The chief's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "I only hope to return to the previous situation. We only need half of the water source, fruit orchards, and cultivated land. Just being able to survive is enough."

"I understand. So, what benefits can you offer me?"

Yang Qianhun nodded and continued.

"Benefits?"

The chief fumbled in his pocket, then looked around, realizing his family was poor and he had nothing valuable.

He looked troubled, then suddenly seemed to understand, gently patted his forehead, and said, "Oh, my memory! I have an ancestral book. The prophecy mentioned that when I meet you, I must give this book to you. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten."

Having said that, the chief anxiously said to the young man beside him, "Come, quickly help me back home."

Subsequently, Yang Qianhun and his two companions walked with the chief to his house. It wasn't very far, and they arrived at the chief's home in no time.

It was a stone house, just like the villagers', without even a surrounding wall.

The chief, supported by the young man, slowly pushed open the wooden door and entered.

After a long while, the chief's surprised and anxious voice came from inside the stone house.

"Finally found it! It was hidden here. I almost forgot, otherwise, I would have been a sinner to the Yang family."

Then, the chief, supported by the young man, slowly walked out and handed the book to Yang Qianhun.

"Earth Battle Emperor Art?"

Yang Qianhun took the book, his pupils constricting.

He never dreamed that such a poor and dilapidated village could produce a Legendary cultivation technique. It was simply unbelievable, like something out of a fairy tale.

The next second, the Earth Battle Emperor Art in his hand emitted a golden light.

The golden light shone brightly, dazzling like the sun.

With a whoosh, it directly entered his mind.

"Name: Earth Battle Emperor Art"

"Quality: Legendary"

"Type: Cultivation Technique"

"Description: The Earth Battle Emperor Art was created by the Earth Emperor of old. Through cultivation, one can enhance their own strength. As one's realm advances, one can comprehend Spirit Skills suitable for oneself. As a Legendary cultivation technique, the Earth Battle Emperor Art allows one to continuously draw Spirit Qi from the earth when one's feet are on the ground, converting it into Spirit Power for one's own use."

When the Earth Battle Emperor Art entered his mind, the content of the cultivation technique was deeply imprinted in his brain.

Cultivation methods, precautions, how to use it, etc., were all clear to him.

Suddenly, a faint earthy yellow light flickered around Yang Qianhun's body, and the Spirit Qi in the earth beneath his feet became visible to the naked eye.

Like countless fireflies, they continuously gathered towards his feet, entering his body through the soles of his feet.

"As long as my feet touch the earth, I can continuously receive Spirit Qi, which is equivalent to passive cultivation. This is the Earth Battle Emperor Art."

Yang Qianhun felt the Spirit Qi from the earth continuously passing through his feet and transforming into Spirit Power, gathering in his Spirit Sea. His heart was filled with immense shock.

The next second, a tingling sensation surged through Yang Qianhun's body, rushing straight to his crown, feeling very comfortable.

In an instant, a white light flickered around his body, and his aura became even stronger.

This was a sign of breakthrough. Spirit Qi surged throughout his body, like a mighty river, endless and continuous.

Moments later, the light around Yang Qianhun's body gradually dissipated, returning to calm.

He advanced from Spirit Practitioner Fourth Stage to Spirit Practitioner Fifth Stage, his strength taking another step forward.

At the same time, white light also flickered around Xu Chu and Lu Zhishen, flashing and disappearing instantly.

Whether it was Gao Shun in the territory, or Huang Zhong and others who were leading troops out.

At this moment, all the generals and soldiers had their strength improved.

"Earth Power."

Yang Qianhun raised his right hand, and a faint yellow light continuously flickered in his palm.

It gave him a feeling of solidity and stability.

"No wonder I couldn't understand that book at all, let alone use it. It turns out it was waiting for its destined person."

The chief was completely stunned by the scene before him, which completely overturned his worldview.

Even the young man beside him was dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, as if he had been scared silly.

"Taking people's money to resolve their troubles. Old chief, where are those outsiders and the people from Xuejia Village? Just find someone to lead the way for me."

Yang Qianhun felt the surging Spirit Power within his body, and his Spirit Sea had expanded further. He was very satisfied, then said to the chief.
