Chapter 544: Jade-Skinned Immortal Body! Parasol Divine Tree! (Part 2)
Within the stomach void, there is a space a hundred zhang wide, hiding many things.
Most of the Earth Official's treasury from the Plague Department is within.
After all, the poisonous atmosphere is prevalent here, and only within the stomach void can things be preserved.
Having taken all of the Earth Official's possessions from the Plague Department, a search was conducted.
With the shallow alchemy knowledge of the Little White Ape, barely he can discern which ones can enhance physique.
"There's only one kind that can enhance the physique."
The Little White Ape's expression was complex as he said, "Only the Wanling Ren Dan!"
Ten Wanling Ren Dan, now in Lin Yan's hand.
He paused for a moment, looking at Shangguan Shang, his expression calm.
With Shangguan Shang's potential, just consuming one pill would elevate his physique to the top, granting him the hope of accommodating the Great Sun Fire Prison and breakthrough to the Human Martial Saint.
Shangguan Shang reached out his hand, and all ten Wanling Ren Dan flew into his palm.
He said lightly, "Hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of thousands of living fellows, turned into these tiny elixir pills..."
Boom!
He channeled his mana and instantaneously destroyed all ten Wanling Ren Dan!
Lin Yan retracted his gaze.
In truth, earlier, if Shangguan Shang truly harbored the thought, it would have been quite troublesome for him.
If it involved killing people to refine pills, he absolutely could not tolerate it!
Yet now these Wanling Ren Dan were made, and the dead cannot be resurrected; if the pills aren't used, they would waste away, even if destroyed... Given to Shangguan Shang could have been of great use.
But considering Lin Yan's principle of action, the idea of ingesting Wanling Ren Dan remains difficult to accept.
"Master underestimated me."
Shangguan Shang said earnestly, "If I consumed such pills, how different would I be from the other species?"
"Today, obtaining the Wanling Ren Dan from the hands of demons isn't a sin!"
"Then tomorrow, can I instigate demons to proactively refine Wanling Ren Dan for me to hunt them?"
"Such things cannot be tolerated in the least, otherwise it would inevitably breed evil thoughts!"
Upon saying this, Shangguan Shang said sternly, "I wish to ascend to Human Martial Saint to have more power to protect the Human Clan! If I must eat people to become a Human Martial Saint, wouldn't that title be a mockery?"
Lin Yan nodded slightly, hearing this.
The will of the First Human Emperor was even more resolute than he had anticipated.
Regarding records from the ancient era and the tales of the upper heavens, ultimately, they are not the most complete.
Humanity in itself is complex!
History can obscure some things and magnify others!
Only by facing the First Human Emperor can one truly sense the other's unyielding faith.
"Ah! Master, look at this quickly..."
Little White Ape, holding a jade scroll, ran over like presenting a treasure.
Lin Yan cast a glance, revealing a surprised expression, then looked at Shangguan Shang, chuckling, said, "It seems your luck isn't bad; besides the Wanling Ren Dan, there's another method to provide you with a strong physique and ascend to Human Martial Saint."
With the words, Lin Yan had already thrown the jade scroll over, saying, "Look at this..."
This is a fragmented technique to temper the physique.
And Lin Yan is not too unfamiliar with this technique!
Jade Muscle Immortal Body!
"Old God's Technique?"
Shangguan Shang glanced at it, hesitated slightly, saying, "How can the Human Clan cultivate divine skills?"
Lin Yan said slowly, "Have I not cultivated divine skills as well? Moreover, possessing the bloodline of the Great Sun God Monarch, how can you not cultivate divine skills?"
Shangguan Shang was stunned for a moment, then took over the fragmented technique.
According to the description above, this Jade Muscle Immortal Body comes from a supreme old god in the ancient era.
This supreme old god governed wealth in the mortal world.
The amount of wealth a person has in their life is designated by him.
"So, was the Earth Official from the Plague Department just now crystal-clear like jade?"
The Plague Department's poison caused the ape clan to suffer numerous casualties, with those surviving losing hair and becoming humanoid.
Those obtaining the divine blood became descendants of gods and demons.
But the Earth Official from the Plague Department had skin entirely crystal-like jade.
Clearly, he had cultivated the preliminary Jade Muscle Immortal Body.
"This is a fragmented technique, and for the complete technique, you'll have to search yourself."
Lin Yan said so.
"No matter!"
Shangguan Shang said, "As long as I cultivate the preliminary part and enter the path, my physique will grow and allow me to ascend to Human Martial Saint! Once my skills improve, there's no reason I can't travel the world to find the complete technique..."
Pausing, he mused, "There are some Human Clan experts who are closely associated with Immortal God Arena; they specifically arrange a group of scholars to interpret ancient texts within their domains! In the future, I might also follow this path, gathering wise people, and potentially complete the fragmented Magic Method!"
The Creation Law Lineage, wise scholars, are already beginning to gain importance in this barbaric era?
In Lin Yan's impression, this era still consisted of the strong preying on the weak, surviving like beasts.
But now it seems, his vision was rather narrow, not as broad as Shangguan Shang's.
"You will definitely succeed in cultivating the Jade Muscle Immortal Body."
Lin Yan chuckled as he said this.
In later generations, Shangguan Youqi did cultivate the complete Jade Muscle Immortal Body, and reaching great success, purely in terms of physique, he would not fall short of Lin Yan's current Vajra Indestructible Holy Body.
This proves that the lineage of Human Emperor ultimately obtained the complete Jade Muscle Immortal Body technique.
"This place is already scorched, we should return."
Lin Yan spoke so, saying, "As for achieving Human Martial Saint status, should there be any doubts, deal with them on the way..."
Shangguan Shang showed a happy expression, nodding quickly.
He gazed towards the valley, showing some strange emotions.
Initially thought of attending the year feast, pretending casually, obtaining treasure medicine, then leaving.
He had not considered being able to annihilate the other creatures at this feast.
Unexpectedly, this was the outcome.
"But there's another matter..."
After hesitating, Shangguan Shang said, "These demons, evil spirits, descendants of gods, and demons who mostly come from the northern region, and in their domains, they raise the Human Clan... With their deaths, the Human Clan in their domains becomes wealth for various demons, evil spirits, and gods and demons to vie for, facing reckless slaughter, with destiny hard to speak of."
"If you can trust me, the authority of the thirty-six tribe alliance can be entrusted to me."
Lin Yan said, "Focus on your secluded cultivation, and I, along with your father and your trusted aide, will rush to various places, rescue those clansmen, and gather them..."
After a pause, Lin Yan said, "The matter of the Dragon Head Tribe building a city is actually not a bad thing; you can follow Dragon Beard Tiger's path, continue building a city, and accept more populations."
Shangguan Shang was a bit hesitant.
Because of Dragon Beard Tiger, he always felt that city-building wasn't a good thing.
But hearing the master's advice, after contemplating for a while, he eventually thought it feasible.
"On the surface, building a city seems to have more advantages than disadvantages, but one thing..."
Shangguan Shang said hesitantly, "Too large a population will inevitably attract the attention of various parties, especially the most powerful gods and demons and evil spirits. When their pressure intensifies and if unable to withstand it, all 'pros' would be worthless compared to the greatest 'bane and disaster'!"
"Therefore, you need to become a Human Martial Saint and progress further on the path of Human Martial Saint!"
Lin Yan spoke so, saying, "Before you grow stronger, I'll assist you by all means."
Shangguan Shang paused for a moment, murmuring, "Once I grow stronger?"
Lin Yan said quietly, "Then there should be one less person to contend for power with you."
Shangguan Shang was stern, saying, "In today's era, where is the authority? Even if the Human Clan gains strength in the future, the master should be the leader..."
"..."
Lin Yan remained silent, always having a sense of ambiguity towards this era.
Turning around, Lin Yan patted Shangguan Shang's shoulder, saying, "I'm best at slaying demons and evil spirits; you are more suited to leadership!"
——
And beyond the upper heavens.
A figure stood on the mountaintop, looking far ahead.
On her shoulder was a red exotic bird who spoke in human tongue, asking, "You just acquired Phoenix Blood and requested the Supreme Profound Sun Demon Sealing Spike from the Saint Master, rushing here, what are you planning to do?"
"The Parasol Divine Tree has recovered part of its authority and is about to appear, owning to the contract with the Ancient Immortal, it will protect the Human Clan."
The woman said softly, "I want to build a city along the Parasol Divine Tree and migrate the clansmen over here..."
Pausing, she turned around to gaze towards the Dragon Head Tribe behind, saying, "But before that, I must first kill the new leader of the Dragon Head Tribe!"
