Chapter 304: Chapter 162:

Wei Fan’s voice also rang out; he didn’t come here for the adventure completely on Long Xueyi’s account. The main reason was to acquire the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations and address his shortcomings in comprehension.

“You can come in!”

Long Jianying probably understood that if it were him, even knowing he would be trapped, he wouldn’t miss out on such an unparalleled martial art like the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations.

Someone like Wei Fan, who is a demon, is bound to be proud and arrogant, thinking the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations is simple.

However, if he truly is a Mid-Divine Realm at seventeen or eighteen, he just might be able to master the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations in a short time.

After kowtowing to Long Xueyi and Huo Tianzheng, Wei Fan stepped into the stone wall and vanished.

Long Xueyi watched the spot where he disappeared, her expression complex.

Next moment, she stepped forward, her silhouette also disappeared from Huo Tianzheng’s sight.

Huo Tianzheng shook his head helplessly, “This… why bother, girl!”

After a dizzying moment, Wei Fan found himself in a gray misty space.

Before he could observe more, he felt a ripple beside him, and a figure appeared next to him—it was Long Xueyi!

He turned to look, Long Xueyi lowered her head and tucked her blue-black hair behind her ear, whispering, “I… I also want to learn the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations!”

Wei Fan’s mouth curled into a smile, nodding, “I know, but why are you blushing?”

“…”

“You silly girl really don’t know what’s important; wanting to learn the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations. Your grandfather could teach you outside; why come in here?” Long Jianying’s voice chimed in not far away.

“Grandfather, finally I get to see you!”

Long Xueyi ran to Long Jianying’s side while Wei Fan began to scrutinize the place.

The area wasn’t large and seemed odd, filled everywhere with a kind of gray mist, resembling a sea of consciousness.

At the center, a towering giant stone tablet stood, inscribed densely with small characters.

Not in a hurry to approach, he decided to wait until Long Xueyi and Long Jianying had finished their reunion.

After a while, Long Jianying gestured for Wei Fan to come over, “Turns out, you’re also one of the Demon Suppression Bureau’s people. Come over.”

Long Jianying’s face was dignified.

Though sitting cross-legged on the ground, his posture was as straight as a blade’s edge.

Huo Tianzheng always referred to Long Jianying as “the old fellow”; Wei Fan initially thought he’d be an old man.

But now viewed up close, Long Jianying appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, unlike Huo Tianzheng, who always seemed near the brink of demise.

“Demon Hunter Wei Fan, greetings to Commander Long!”

Wei Fan approached, sitting cross-legged beside Long Jianying like Long Xueyi.

Long Jianying nodded, pointing to the stone tablet before him: “This ought to be a legacy site left by one of our human race’s forebears. Who left it is unknown, but this is the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, feel free to ponder it.”

He had lingered here for seven or eight years, yet besides this stone tablet, there was nothing else.

“The Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations can cause the Divine Soul to transform nine times altogether. Completing the first transformation allows one to pass through the stone tablet and leave!”

To be considered successful doesn’t mean the Divine Soul must undergo nine transformations; one transformation suffices.

However, merely achieving one transformation took Long Jianying seven or eight years without success.

This point, Wei Fan comprehended.

He practiced the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, which also didn’t perfect the physical refinement in one go; each stage required continued cleansing.

Additionally, merely cleansing at the Divine Realm had cost him thousands of years in power.

Although not practicing the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, he knew the transformation of the Divine Soul was certainly not something done in one fell swoop.

Entry-level training doesn’t equate to mastery.

Long Jianying surely has introduced the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations but hasn’t refined it to the point of Divine Soul transformation.

Long Jianying hasn’t mastered it, not that he hasn’t initiated it.

He stood up to leave, and after exchanging a glance with Long Xueyi, their attention fell onto the stone tablet.

What Long Jianying had spoken was actually documented on the stone tablet.

Wei Fan confirmed the stone tablet explicitly recorded that mastering the first transformation allows passage, and began reading it thoroughly.

About half an hour later, a panel began to flicker.

[Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations (Uninitiated)]

The corner of his eye glanced at Long Xueyi, who was steeped in the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, ignoring the external events.

“Temporarily cannot use the panel to add it!”

Wei Fan planned to keep a low profile, to not master the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations so quickly, to delay by a few days.

Time passed quickly, and Wei Fan along with Long Xueyi had been here for two days.

Outside, rumors began surfacing on Jianghu, saying that Su City Demon Suppression Bureau’s Third Commander, Fu Shizheng, betrayed due to the allure of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations. He defected to the Demon Fiend for the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, ambushing and killing He Tai Xian.

Once this news spread, Tongzhou Martial World erupted, even echoing across other states.

Those familiar with the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill knew it was one of the highest exotic techniques of the human race, its standing in the hearts of martial artists almost matched the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations.

Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill isn’t a martial technique nor a cultivation heart method, but rather an unparalleled unusual skill that can enhance one’s physical foundation.

No one considers their talent too good; even a Divine Realm Martial Sect has a day when they hit a dead end.

At that moment, countless began to plot, desiring to kill the human traitor Fu Shizheng for both glory and gain.

Yet before many could set out to hunt Fu Shizheng, another rumor emerged.

Fu Shizheng had actually been killed by Wei Fan, and the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill fell into Wei Fan’s hands, and he had mastered it too.

To acquire the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, slaying Wei Fan was the solution.

“The Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill belongs to me!”

A terrifying voice emanated from the Blood Cloud Sect headquarters, followed by figures enveloped in turbulent demonic qi flying out from the sect’s headquarters.

“Kill Wei Fan, seize the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill!”

On this day, suddenly in many desolate mountain ranges, Martial Sects of the Divine Realm emerged, heading towards Su City.

Everyone knew Wei Fan was in trouble.

Because Fu Shizheng once searched for Wei Fan, never to be seen again afterward.

Back then, many thought Fu Shizheng’s conscience was rekindled, sparing Wei Fan, that human genius; realizing now, Fu Shizheng had been slain.

In the past, it was merely a smokescreen by Wei Fan for the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill!

Divine Sword Sect!

“I originally aimed to kill you, now there’s an extra reason!”

Qi Zhicun radiated murderous intent, determined to get his hands on the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill; outside, he was respected as a Martial Venerable expert. Still, he knew without unexpected occurrences, he would remain at Martial Venerable for life, unable to advance further.

Yet if he could obtain the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, he was confident he’d advance beyond the Martial Venerable Realm.

Others might not know, but he was aware of someone once stuck at the Martial Venerable Realm for decades without progress, ultimately becoming a Martial King after practicing the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.

“No wonder Zuoqiu Yi wasn’t his match; he must have practiced the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.”

Qi Zhicun realized it wasn’t his underestimation of Wei Fan, but that Wei Fan wasn’t of the typical horizontal cultivation of innate talent, he practiced the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.

“Someone, summon the elders over!”

Qi Zhi cast a glance outside, seemingly seeing Pei Shinan in Tongzhou City scores of miles away. “The Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, let’s see how you’ll guard Wei Fan now!”

…

Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, Pei Shinan looked at disciple You Qingfeng, “Have you found out who spread the news and its credibility?”

The Jianghu was buzzing with gossip, and naturally, the Demon Suppression Bureau was also aware and nearly completed their investigation.

You Qingfeng nodded, “Master, confirmed. The news spread from the Demon Fiends, as for credibility, I believe there’s about an eighty percent likelihood, Wei Fan obtained the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill. Various indicators suggest Fu Shizheng indeed fell at Wei Fan’s hands.

Moreover, our belief isn’t important; the crucial point is those Jianghu folks already believe it, intelligence from the logistics indicates many veteran Divine Realm specters have emerged, heading towards Su City!

Master, how do we handle this?”

Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill!

Truthfully speaking, if it weren’t for being comrades in the Demon Suppression Bureau, even he would be tempted; not to mention those unrelated to Wei Fan.

Pei Shinan massaged his forehead, “Those who’ve committed infractions, arrest directly; resistance warrants extermination. Those who haven’t, we can’t do anything to them, but take some experts to Su City and provide support, deal with any troublemakers as you see fit, and… tell Wei Fan to lie low.”

Such matters are troubling even for him to address.

The allure of the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill doesn’t only draw Divine Realm, but also Martial Venerables.

Those lacking sufficient restraint wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.

You Qingfeng nodded, “Disciple contacted Su City, and Wei Fan has already vanished for days. No one knows his whereabouts.”

Pei Shinan waved, “You may leave!”
