Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 280 Shameless

"It really is the aura of an old friend. It's quite unexpected. I've never heard of her taking on a disciple, but instead she's taken on an adopted son."

The man in white chuckled, looking at Lin Fan with a meaningful and intrigued expression, but not with suspicion; some things cannot be faked.

"How is Fellow Daoist Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit?"

"It's not good. Aunt Liu was ambushed by three Immortal Kings from the Immortal Realm, her past was severed, and she was reborn from the ashes," Lin Fan said truthfully.

Looking back now, he feels he acted impulsively, thinking that once Liu Shen left, the karma would be transferred to him.

In the future, the three Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm will also come after him. Just like in the original timeline, Shi Hao was targeted and almost perished when he became a king.

"In the past, this realm suffered a crushing defeat. In the end, the only remaining ancestral spirit was not defeated by the foreign realm, but was betrayed by the alliance," the white-robed man lamented.

"This debt will be settled sooner or later." Lin Fan said indignantly. If he couldn't win, he would just develop his strength. If things got bad, his little brother could take the fall. Anyway, he was tough.

Shi Hao: You are truly my good older brother!
"With Fellow Daoist Zuji Ling's talent, it shouldn't be long before he recovers to his peak, and he might even surpass his previous level."

The man in white spoke gently, expressing his optimism, because the ancestral spirit was a willow tree, which valued life and rebirth above all else; as long as there was still a breath left, it could recover.

"Ahem, I am the tenth person. Senior, would you also like to pass on your sect's great technique to me? We won't be picky. Just pass on what the first eight people have learned to me."

"For example, the Dragon-Slaying Heavenly Technique, the Immortal-Slaying Technique... the Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique, etc. If all else fails, passing on three or four of them will suffice." Lin Fan said without batting an eye.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence. The two children and the puppy stared wide-eyed, and even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone twitched his face. He had never seen such a shameless person before.

Do not lightly transmit these supernatural powers. Do you think these supernatural abilities are as common as cabbages, wanting to offer three or four at once?

"It's not that I think I have a high level of comprehension, and that one subject might not be enough for me to learn, so I want to learn more at once so that I don't have to trouble you again next time."

Lin Fan explained that he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"You're not modest at all." The man in white smiled, his handsome appearance exuding elegance and refinement.

The techniques he mastered were all extraordinary; most people would struggle to learn them in their entire lives, let alone several. Trying to do too much at once would be counterproductive.

"If you learn my method, have you considered following in the footsteps of those who came before you?" The white-robed man's gaze sharpened, becoming incredibly profound.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and ghosts wailed and gods howled. The universe seemed to be torn apart, revealing a dark scene.

"That place is..." Lin Fan was startled and felt a strange tremor in his heart.

In the picture, a dike stretches out to the horizon, ancient and eternal.

Faintly, the sound of waves could be heard from behind the dam. The sky was dark and shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see through, even with the help of a telescope.

However, Lin Fan quickly realized that this was the legendary dam, with the boundary sea behind it, and a single wave representing a broken universe.

This was astonishing, because as the gaze shifted, not far from the dam, there lay a corpse, emanating an aura of immortality—a true immortal had fallen there.

Generally speaking, creatures of this level are hard to kill and have endless lifespans, but now they lie dead on the embankment, a truly tragic sight.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and a figure appeared, dressed in white, otherworldly and ethereal, standing on the embankment, and stepped across.

This is the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, who once ventured deep into the Boundary Sea, hoping to reach the final destination.

Time flies, years pass by, and another year goes by...

Many years later, a bloodied hand lay on the shore, badly mutilated, breaking the tranquility of the scene.

Then, as the bloody hand struggled upwards, a head emerged, its eyes dim, its face covered in blood, a truly pitiful sight. Lin Fan and the puppy were shocked; it was none other than the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, his body covered in wounds, a crack even between his brows, his injuries terrifying.

This was a far cry from the peerless figure in white he had appeared when he left; he staggered, swayed, and lacked spirit as he fled into the distance.

It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce battle this person with extraordinary abilities went through to be so badly injured.

Finally, the image faded away like ripples.

Lin Fan was shocked. The cruelty of the Boundary Sea was far more intense than he had imagined. Only an Immortal King could cross it, and even an Immortal King was in danger of perishing.

"Most of the people who drank this tea died there."

"Ugh……"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed and continued, "They know that their cultivation has reached its limit in this life, and even though they know they will fail, they still want to go, just to fight in my place and fulfill their wish."

Now that you know all this, do you still dare to go there?

"Nature rises from ruin, revives from annihilation, and forges ahead relentlessly—this is my belief!"

Lin Fan didn't hesitate, his eyes shining, and he spoke earnestly.

"Therefore, senior, please pass on your great techniques to me, the more the better. Once I am strong enough, I will definitely go to the rear of the dam for a battle and uncover all the secrets of the past and present..."

Just as Lin Fan was speaking seriously and eloquently, a puppy jumped over and poked him in the waist.

"You damn dog, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm making a declaration of determination?"

The puppy didn't speak, but gave him a look, as if to say, "Take it easy, don't talk too much and you'll regret it."

At the same time, it implies that I understand your thoughts perfectly well; you're clearly eyeing someone else's divine skills.

Lin Fan slapped it back, his expression unchanged, and looked expectantly at the master of the restricted area.

"This time, I will not pass on any more great techniques," the man in white refused.

"Senior, please don't. You should at least pass on one skill to strengthen my foundation so that I can better fight in the future."

Lin Fan was getting anxious. He had said so much and made such solemn promises, all for the sake of getting benefits. If he didn't get them, wouldn't all his words have been for nothing?
Furthermore, he is not afraid of biting off more than he can chew, because he can choose not to learn or become an expert, but he cannot be without knowledge.

"The Immortal Ancient Era has ended, and only now have we met someone like you. You are one of us, but if I were to pass on my unparalleled techniques to you, in the end, you would only end up like them, following in my footsteps."

“Even if they catch up to me on this path, it’s useless; they’ll just be another loser. What I want is to surpass them.” The man in white shook his head.

“I think I’m different from them. You can’t equate me with them. After all, Aunt Liu passed on her precious skills to me.”

Lin Fan argued, trying to persuade her again, even bringing up Liu Shen.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: even my mother doesn't mind, so you should at least pass on a skill.

Beside it, the puppy was speechless. It was the first time it had ever seen a creature with even thicker skin than itself, chasing after someone to beg for teachings.

You must understand, this is the lord of the restricted area. If you offend him on his turf, the consequences could be dire.

Surprisingly, the man in white hesitated, staring at Lin Fan and saying, "You are indeed special, different from them, and cannot be compared with them..."
