Chapter 1703: Chapter 1723: Did I just let the wolf into the room? _1

To cultivate and improve one’s strength, to break through realms, one needs cultivation techniques. A good cultivation technique can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, but if the technique is lacking, it becomes increasingly difficult to progress beyond a certain realm.

This is why a sect with mediocre foundational cultivation techniques will inevitably fall behind, while a sect with top-level techniques teems with talent and grows stronger every day.

Which great sect doesn’t have some high-end techniques hidden at the bottom of the box?

If they indeed possess top-level techniques from a super sect in the high-ranked immortal realm, it would make complete sense for these cultivators to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Cao Hechuan is quite worried in his heart, the enemy the Immortal Palace faces is far stronger than he imagined!

Although the Immortal Palace seems to be at an advantage for now, once the Heavenly Dao Alliance openly reveals its origins and promises powerful cultivation techniques, countless cultivators will undoubtedly join their ranks without hesitation.

Passing through the dark passage, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

The massive underground hall could accommodate thousands of people, but it was currently completely empty.

Lin Chen exclaimed with a surprised look, "Big Brother, how many people do you actually have studying the Reincarnation Scripture? This place is so huge, it’s like another world entirely."

The middle-aged man replied, "About four or five hundred... Do you want to join?"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen responded, "Of course! What do I need to do to join?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "You’ll have to contribute something valuable, such as a top-level magical treasure or a top-level medicinal pill. After all, even students have to pay tuition fees to attend their teachers’ classes, right?"

Lin Chen nods, "Hmm, that makes sense. But I don’t have top-level magical treasures or medicinal pills, will something a little bit less suffice?"

While speaking, Lin Chen pulled out a pile of medicinal pills and several magical treasures without hesitation: "Do these suffice?"

The middle-aged man swept his gaze over the items, visibly astonished.

This kid really is a rich young master!

Although these medicinal pills and magical treasures could not considered top level, they were of decent quality. Moreover, Lin Chen had pulled out such a large stash altogether; who would carry so many around?

Isn’t this the standard of a profligate rich young master?

The middle-aged man didn’t reach out, but instead frowned, "These are of decent quality, but still not quite up to par. Do you have anything better? After all, the Reincarnation Scripture is a top-level cultivation technique from the high-ranked immortal realm, not everyone has the opportunity to study it."

A troubled look appeared on Lin Chen’s face, "I do have something better, but I can’t give it away."

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. Hadn’t he been going in circles with Lin Chen just to figure out what the treasure Lin Chen mentioned was?

"What kind of treasure is it? Show it to me."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I... uh, ’borrowed’ it from home. It’s a massive explosive talisman. Once it detonates, everything within a hundred miles will be obliterated instantly. Even a fairy couldn’t withstand it."

Looking at the middle-aged man’s shocked face, Lin Chen chuckled, "I use it for self-defense. It’s my hidden trump card, and I can’t give it to you."

The middle-aged man had already accepted Lin Chen’s persona as a flamboyant extravagant young master, and so didn’t doubt his words. After all, Lin Chen had mentioned possessing a treasure at the cave entrance before having met him!

The middle-aged man was instantly taken aback.

Even a fairy wouldn’t be able to withstand it?

What kind of talisman was this that its power was so immense?

If it was any ordinary person saying this, he would only think they were bragging. But accepting that Lin Chen was a profligate son of a wealthy family, it all seemed incredibly plausible.

Isn’t it normal for a wealthy family to possess one or two massive explosive talismans that could pose a threat to a fairy?

But what does this mean for himself who had invited them in?

Had he allowed the wolf in the house?

He had said he would kill them after inviting them in, but what if this fellow detonated that explosive talisman in his dying moments? Would this branch still exist?

If even a fairy couldn’t withstand it, wouldn’t Golden Immortals and True Immortals simply perish?

The middle-aged man’s mind was racing, his face displaying a slightly rigid smile, "You use such a powerful talisman for self-defense?"

Lin Chen replied confidently, "Exactly. As long as my enemy isn’t certain they can kill me within half a second, I can take it out and detonate it, dying together. Everyone fears death, don’t they? If this isn’t self-defense, what is?"

The middle-aged man had no response, silently contemplating the possibility of killing Lin Chen in an instant.

Seemingly aware of what the middle-aged man was thinking, Lin Chen gestured towards Cao Hechuan, chuckling, "My loyal servant here is a Peak Golden Immortal strength-wise. Coupled with his defensive treasure, even a Fairy would take some effort to kill him. That time might not be enough for me to escape, but it’s definitely enough for me to detonate the talisman and die together."

"I’m actually afraid to use it, to be honest. Once used, I don’t know if a Fairy would survive, but I certainly wouldn’t. There wouldn’t even be bones left. But if it comes to that, if someone wants me dead, I’ll certainly take them with me!"

"But hey, I haven’t killed anyone’s parents, nor wiped out any sects. I’ve been travelling the world, not offending anyone. Why would anyone want to risk being obliterated to kill me and die alongside me, right?"
