Chapter 2650: Chapter 2670: Have you heard about the Demon Snake Atlas, an Earth-based Exquisite Technique?

Kong Ling had just said that a person like him would definitely not be willing to submit to others, yet now he had joined the Illusory Serpent Sect, which meant he must have had a purpose in doing so. Otherwise, with so many sects stronger than the Illusory Serpent Sect, why would he choose the Illusory Serpent Sect alone?

"What Cultivation Technique does the Illusory Serpent Sect have that could attract you?"

Kong Ling laughed, "Have you ever heard of the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art?"

Lin Chen shook his head frankly, "Standing before the mountain gate, I didn’t even know the sect was called the Illusory Serpent Sect, naturally I have never heard of it. What kind of dragon is the Sand Dragon, one that lives underground among the Dragon Clan?"

Kong Ling explained, "The Sand Dragon is not a dragon. It is actually an ancient demon snake that lives underground, officially named the Giant Sand Demon Snake. It’s incredibly strong and terrifying, usually hidden underground, and when it bursts forth to hunt, it creates a massive sandstorm on the ground."

"With a massive body, even a Begin Immortal of the Da Luo wouldn’t stand a chance against it, the only option would be to turn tail and run. Once targeted by it, one is most likely doomed."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "The Giant Sand Demon Snake is that powerful, even a Begin Immortal of the Da Luo can’t withstand it?"

Kong Ling laughed, "If it came down to a battle of pure strength, the Giant Sand Demon Snake might not necessarily defeat a Begin Immortal of the Da Luo, but it possesses an extremely terrifying talent, which is illusion. Once it fixes its gaze on you, you would fall directly into an endless nightmarish Illusory Realm from which there is no escape."

"Within that Illusory Realm, you would face all sorts of bizarre and terrifying incidents, perhaps your deepest nightmares, or the most frightening legends you’ve heard of. In short, it will attack you in the Illusory Realm, torment you, ravage you."

"Cultivators caught in the Illusory Realm are unable to extricate themselves, and if they die of terror within the realm, their real-world selves will also perish."

"The founding ancestor of the Illusory Serpent Sect, with his terrifying Quasi-Saint strength, subdued a powerful Giant Sand Demon Snake and spent centuries researching and developing its ability to create Illusory Realms. After thousands of years, he finally succeeded in creating a miraculous Cultivation Technique that could simulate the Giant Sand Demon Snake, unleashing a terrifying Illusory Realm to kill enemies. Because the name Giant Sand Demon Snake was not very appealing and because its appearance resembled that of a dragon, he named the technique Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art."

"The Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art is an Earth Attribute Technique, which suits my Spiritual Root perfectly. I was particularly attracted to its ability to triumph over the strong through cunning means, so I did everything I could to join the Illusory Serpent Sect, precisely to eventually learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Earth Attribute Technique?

Ancient inheritance, exquisite Cultivation Technique?

He still lacked the Crystal of Earth Path and the Crystal of Metal Path for his Five Elements Path Crystals. If this Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art was as powerful as it sounded and he could learn it, wouldn’t that mean he would be just one step away from completing the set?

Lin Chen asked eagerly, "So, have you learned it?"

"I haven’t been in the sect long enough to qualify for learning it. I’m still in the stage of accumulating merit. Only when I’ve gathered enough merit will I have the opportunity to learn."

Kong Ling laughed, "The Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art is extremely difficult to master; currently in the entire Illusory Serpent Sect, only the Sect Master and Saint Child have mastered it."

"The Sect Master, a Peak Begin Immortal of the Da Luo, is the pillar of the Illusory Serpent Sect. It’s because of him that the sect manages to maintain its standing, barely securing its place. The Saint Child, a Peak Supreme Immortal of the Da Luo, is always traveling about with an unpredictable whereabouts."

Lin Chen chuckled mischievously, "If the Saint Child were here, would you try to capture him and force the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art out of him?"

Kong Ling shook his head, "It’s useless. The only way to learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art is said to be through visualizing the Giant Sand Demon Snake. The one in our sect has long been dead, sealed within an atlas by the Founding Ancestor using Great Divine Power for the Sect Internal Disciples to visualize and learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art."

"The Saint Child became the Saint Child because he visualized the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas and comprehended the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art. For that reason, he is regarded as the future of the Illusory Serpent Sect and is given special training. So even if I captured him, I wouldn’t be able to learn the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art. Only by obtaining the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas would it be possible."

Lin Chen’s thoughts stirred, "Where is the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas?"

"With the Sect Master, he carries it with him at all times."

Kong Ling saw right through Lin Chen’s intentions and laughed, "Looking at you like this, are you interested in the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art?"

Lin Chen responded candidly, "I’m in need of an exquisite Earth Attribute Technique. Since I’ve come across it, naturally, I should pay more attention to see if there’s a chance to obtain it."

Kong Ling laughed, "Unless you ask the Saint of Thieves to make a move and steal the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art Atlas, then we can both learn it."

Lin Chen replied helplessly, "The Saint of Thieves’ Art of Theft is unrivaled under the heavens. If he were around, things might be a bit easier, but he has his own affairs, and it’s unlikely he’d follow a junior like me around to babysit. We don’t have such a relationship."

Kong Ling spread his hands in defeat, "Then there’s nothing we can do. I can’t steal it. If I had the ability, I would have stolen the atlas and run away long ago. Who would want to remain a disciple here, at everyone’s beck and call..."
