Chapter 356: Using “Courtesy” to Convince People

Chapter 356: Subduing with “Courtesy”

Lin Fan was slightly surprised. How did people from Nine Heavens come to Three Thousand Provinces?

This news was indeed very sudden.

Generally speaking, in the eyes of Nine Heavens beings, Three Thousand Provinces was a barren land, and they wouldn't necessarily visit even once in hundreds of thousands of years.

Some even called Three Thousand Provinces the Lower Realm, showing extreme disdain, and the people of Chang Sheng Wang Family were the best example.

This was like Three Thousand Provinces looking down on the people of Eight Regions, constantly calling them “Lower Realm Great Fiends” and “Sin Blood Descendants.”

Lin Fan pondered, feeling that this matter was not an accident, perhaps related to his trip to No Man's Land.

Although he used a false identity at the time, those with a keen eye would surely find clues if they investigated.

He just didn't know if the newcomers were benevolent or malevolent.

“Let’s go, we’ll meet them.” Lin Fan spoke, since they had come knocking, it proved unavoidable.

…

Butian Sect Main Peak, grand and majestic, shrouded in white mist, with brilliant auspicious glow, like a massive Dragon coiling, Dragon Qi surging.

Here, waterfalls hung like cascading silver rivers, and between the cliffs, ancient trees towered, lush and green, peaceful and serene.

At the peak of the divine mountain, a palace stood, resplendent and magnificent, its precious light soaring beyond the Star Domain, accompanied by Chaos Qi, exuding a magnificent Aura.

Lin Fan and Yue Chan walked into the main hall, where people were already waiting, and each one was terrifying, surpassing the Heavenly God Realm.

Among them, the Butian Sect Leader and Elder naturally didn't need to be mentioned; Lin Fan had seen most of them. What was noteworthy were the two old men standing in the middle.

Especially the one in the very center, dressed in simple Gray-Clothed, looking very ordinary, yet he made even the Sect Leader stand aside, not daring to contend.

It was clear that the Gray-Clothed Old Man either had an extremely high seniority or the highest strength, otherwise he wouldn't command such respect from everyone.

“Xiao Fan, these two are Senior Supreme from the Nine Heavens Dao Sect. They have some matters to discuss with you, just answer truthfully.” The Butian Sect Leader spoke.

“Supreme?!” Lin Fan was startled.

“No, in front of this Senior, I cannot be called Supreme; I am a Dunyijing, just like you. Please don't overpraise me.”

The lavishly dressed old man quickly spoke, moving back a position, and secretly glanced at the Gray-Clothed man beside him.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, beings in the Dunyijing Realm were sometimes flatteringly called Supreme, but that didn't mean they were truly Supreme.

In front of a true Supreme, they would never dare to call themselves such, because Dunyijing was Dunyijing, and Supreme was Supreme; the difference between the two was immense.

“Could it be… the Senior who fought the Immortal Palace Old Supreme a few days ago was this Senior?” An Elder was surprised, recalling an event.

That night, Divine Might surged, Star Domain collapsed, shaking hundreds of Great Provinces and leaving many unforgettable.

Subsequently, news spread that Immortal Palace had been attacked, causing countless beings to clamor.

To this day, people were still discussing and guessing who was responsible.

However, what the Butian Sect Elder didn't expect was that the person was now standing right in front of them.

Lin Fan was thoughtful, perhaps only he knew the reason behind it, but he imagined Di Chong's expression at the time must have been quite a sight.

In fact, it was true; the Immortal Palace Successor felt worse than eating excrement after learning the truth.

Because Lin Fan not only survived No Man's Land, killed the people he sent, but also advanced to the Saint Offering Domain, on par with a Heavenly God.

Besides that, what was most hateful and angered Di Chong the most was that Lin Fan was actually using his name to stir up trouble outside, making him take the blame.

At this moment, as Lin Fan was pondering, the Gray-Clothed Old Man turned around, revealing a face with a youthful complexion and white hair.

“Senior, it’s you!” Lin Fan was surprised, recognizing the person at a glance.

It was the old man he had seen in the ancient city of No Man's Land!

At that time, the other party was selling blind boxes on the street, and he even bought one, unboxing a Soul Nurturing Wood that could substitute for a life.

However, he never expected that the old man was actually a Supreme, and had even followed him to Three Thousand Provinces.

“Young friend, we meet again.” The Gray-Clothed Old Man smiled, with a hint of unknown meaning.

Everyone was surprised, Lin Fan knew a Supreme?

“You know him?” Yue Chan asked. She had also seen the old man a few days ago; he was the one who wanted to take her as a Disciple.

Lin Fan nodded, briefly explained a few sentences, but was also very confused, why was the other party here, looking for him?

“Not bad, the Foundation is as solid as a little monster, each Realm has surpassed its limits, possessing his demeanor.” The Gray-Clothed Old Man commented, smiling with satisfaction.

“He?” Lin Fan was full of questions. This old man was playing riddles, which made him feel annoyed.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Great Elder of Immortal Academy—Xiang Zhili!” The Gray-Clothed Old Man said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was suddenly startled. He was all too familiar with what Immortal Academy was.

As the name suggested, Immortal Academy was related to Immortals, specializing in teaching the methods of the previous era, walking the path of Immortal Ascension.

However, times had changed, and years had passed, the entire world was no longer suitable for Immortal Ascension, making it impossible to reach the end of this path.

Even so, Immortal Academy was still highly renowned in Nine Heavens, and the younger generation of various Chang Sheng Family all wanted to break their heads to enter.

Because it represented the limit of a Dao, and those who emerged from it were invincible under Heaven.

“It seems you've heard of it, then it's easy. I even brought someone from your Butian Path, so you won't say I'm a liar.”

The Gray-Clothed Old Man joked, narrowing his eyes, like an old fox.

Beside him, the Butian Path Elder was speechless. He was dragged all the way here, only to serve as a witness for two young ones.

Even so, he dared not voice any complaints, because he clearly understood what this person beside him and what he represented behind him meant.

Even the Butian Sect Leader had to show a few points of respect to the Great Elder of Immortal Academy, even calling him Senior.

“What kind of place is Immortal Academy… Is it similar to Celestial Immortal Academy?” Yue Chan quietly asked.

Not only her, but the rest of Butian Sect also didn't quite understand, hearing about it for the first time, their hearts filled with curiosity.

“Immortal Academy, existing since ancient times, specializes in cultivating Immortal Ancient Law, composed of a group of old monsters from Nine Heavens. Their cultivation is at least Dunyijing, and the requirements are extremely high, only accepting peerless prodigies.”

“Correspondingly, there is also Saint Academy, which primarily cultivates the current era's Law, pioneering the ultimate path. Both of these academies are the highest academies in Nine Heavens, and even Chang Sheng Family Disciples would break their heads to enter them.”

Lin Fan explained.

“What?!” People were stunned by this news.

One must know that every Dunyijing expert, placed in Three Thousand Provinces, was a top-tier master, capable of establishing a sect.

As a result, the instructors in both academies were at least such existences; the news was truly shocking.

The Elder from Butian Path also nodded in agreement. Disciples who could enter the two academies would achieve unimaginable feats in the future.

It could be said that Immortal Academy and Saint Academy were the crystallization of this era, with extremely profound research into Immortal Ancient Law and current era's Law, unmatched by any other.

At the same time, they possessed the strongest teaching staff in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

There were even rumors that a very few old monsters inside had lived for an extremely long time, as old as this era itself.

“Senior, are you trying to recruit us into Immortal Academy?” Lin Fan asked.

Xiang Zhili nodded, smiling: “Of course, you can also refuse, but I always subdue people with ‘courtesy’.”

Lin Fan: “…”
