Relying on his extraordinary body technique and the secret treasure for protection, he dared to join in any commotion.

This time, aside from getting close to experience the Dao Charm, he also wanted to see if any Saints would engage in a battle, hoping to observe the awe-inspiring power that could move mountains and overturn seas.

“What are you looking at me like that for, brother? I’m not a woman, nor am I handsome. Brother, you should go and grasp that Dao Charm instead…” Guo Yan said to Lin Qianxuan.

“Do you want it?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“The way you put it, who wouldn’t want a Daoist Treasure Sacred Artifact?” Guo Yan shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, my cultivation is not enough; I’m afraid I can’t compete for it, nor am I qualified to take it.”

Lin Qianxuan nodded, noting that this man wasn’t extreme in his disposition and had some moral baseline. Since he wanted it, he decided to give it to him.

Initially, he considered stepping in to guide things a little, but now, it seemed he could let someone else do the job.

“I know a body technique martial art. Do you want to learn it?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

Guo Yan was stunned by Lin Qianxuan’s sudden question.

“Why?” Guo Yan asked in confusion, “We are neither kin nor acquaintance, and yet you’re willing to teach me a body technique?”

“I find you agreeable,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

Guo Yan took a careful look at Lin Qianxuan, finding his depths unreadable, then smiled and said, “I see, finding someone agreeable is most important. My name is Guo Yan. May I know your name, brother? And who is this with you?”

“My surname is Yu, first name Zailai, you can call me Brother Yu. She is my sister, Yu Buzou,” Lin Qianxuan introduced himself, then said, “Do you want to learn the body technique?”

“Brother Yu, why don’t you tell me the body technique mantra? I have some understanding in this area,” Guo Yan said with a smile.

He was more than just knowledgeable; he was downright arrogant.

From a young age, his talent in body techniques had already manifested.

Before practicing martial arts, he could easily run over rooftops and jump over walls. Later, having learned body technique martial arts, he could achieve microscopic precision just in the Qi Absorption Realm, stepping on leaves to cross streams.

With even the slightest point of leverage, he could move like a swallow.

Now at the Cultivation Realm, using his body technique, covering a hundred miles with nine hundred virtual steps posed no problem.

Lin Qianxuan opened his mouth and explained his modified “Rising Sun Stepping Technique” to him.

At his level, dealing with techniques below the Dao Realm was straightforward.

As it didn’t involve rule-based information, it was merely a process of the body mobilizing energy.

And how much energy could be mobilized was key.

After reaching the Dao Realm, due to the transformation of the rules, the body’s energy mobilization efficiency greatly improved.

Thus, compared to cultivators below the Dao Realm, the effect one portion of energy could achieve was dozens to even a hundred times more efficient.

Because of this, trying to compete with Dao Realm cultivators with just Celestial Rank cultivation was nearly impossible.

Yet, there’s always an exception to everything.

For example, this body technique modified by Lin Qianxuan.

“As long as you successfully connect your true essence power with your heart and spirit, you can temporarily enter an overloaded state. When you think of strength, it arrives. It greatly enhances not only body techniques but other martial arts as well. If you have sufficient true essence within, you could even exchange a few moves with a Saint,” Lin Qianxuan said.

This is a simplified version of [True Thought] cultivation.

It allows cultivators who haven’t reached the Dao Realm to possess some of the mysteries of the Dao Realm in advance.

Of course, not everyone can learn it.

This technique is intended for certain special talents.

Like Guo Yan, who was born in a state of body and soul integration, standing before Lin Qianxuan.

He was an anomaly in the workings of heaven and earth, but it brought about good outcomes.

Normally, body and soul integration would only lead to the body ‘crashing,’ but he was an exception; rather than crashing, it furthered his self-control.

“Amazing, truly amazing! It shares the same wonderful principles as the ‘Nine Heavens Leisurely Step’ I created, but even more advanced… The process of accumulating true essence to generate explosive thrust is perfectly matched, allowing one to cross a hundred miles in an instant…”

Guo Yan praised the technique Lin Qianxuan passed on to him, feeling as though these things were custom-made for him.

Were it not for the unsuitable circumstances, he would have been eager to try it already.

Guo Yan patted Lin Qianxuan on the shoulder and said, “Brother Yu, once this journey is over, I must treat you to a banquet to thank you for passing on the technique.”

“In the short term, I’m afraid we won’t be able to have that meal,” Lin Qianxuan said.

“Brother Yu, are you very busy?” Guo Yan asked, puzzled.

Lin Qianxuan smiled but remained silent. How could he tell Guo Yan that for the upcoming period, he would be on the run?

Lin Qianxuan, due to carrying a precious treasure, was being pursued by five supreme beings. Following the idiom that if he endured rain, he’d also rip the umbrella apart for others, he arranged for Guo Yan to face a similar pursuit scenario.

Guo Yan could not understand Lin Qianxuan’s smile.

At this moment, suddenly, the heavens and earth started to tremble.

The entire stone forest shook.

Rumble rumble rumble~!

“The Dao Treasure is about to emerge!” Guo Yan said.

Countless people in the area reacted, and the next moment, they witnessed the stone peaks within the stone forest shattering one by one, as the surface metals melted away, leaving behind a single stone peak glowing with crimson and lightning, shining brightly.

This was indeed the Dao Treasure nurtured in this place.

In an instant, several figures moved almost simultaneously.

A sword qi, hundreds of meters long, slashed out, heading straight towards the stone peak.

In an instant, the stone peak was swept away at its root, transforming into profound light that shot into the sky.

Subsequently, several figures charged out, colliding in the sky. The overwhelming power shattered the clouds within dozens of miles, and the residual impact splattered the stone debris within the stone forest, with pebbles flying like bullets.

Guo Yan activated his true essence body protection, watching the sky with wide eyes, and said, “Saints’ prowess is indeed extraordinary. If they fought on the ground, it would be like mountains collapsing… That sword qi is the River-Slaying Sword Momentum of the Dao Alliance’s Saint of Dongyue? Is it? The Spiritual Beauty Palm of the Lingxiu Palace, when wielded by a Saint, this seemingly gentle palm technique has such tremendous power….”

He commented on the moves of the Dao Realm experts, gasping in amazement.

As everyone fought, the stone peak was continuously attacked, shedding its mundane shell, leaving behind a divine iron rod thick as an arm, covered in countless Dao Patterns.

At this time, this divine iron rod was descending from the sky, about to hit the ground.

However, no one dared to snatch it.

They had witnessed the Saints’ earlier actions, knowing that unless they reached that realm, even banding together would be ineffective.

Guo Yan thought the same.

He only wanted to watch the show and had no intention to snatch it.

Just then, he suddenly felt a force push him from behind.

And then, he was sent flying forward, colliding with the divine iron rod, which he inadvertently embraced.

“Oh no, who did that?”

Guo Yan was stunned, but before he could think further, a sword qi swept towards him.

It contained the Dao Principle of slicing through everything, making his scalp tingle.

Instinctively, he used the body technique Lin Qianxuan taught him. A point of light blossomed at his feet, and in the next moment, he flew several miles away while holding the rod.

Yet, he still couldn’t relax, as more attacks swiftly came at him. He had no choice but to keep fleeing, narrowly evading attacks several times.

He intended to let go of the divine iron, but it seemed to have bonded with him, sticking to his body, leaving him no choice but to continue escaping without time to explain.

In an instant, Guo Yan led the numerous experts away from this area, heading towards desolate regions.

Lin Qianxuan withdrew his palm that pushed Guo Yan and nodded in satisfaction.

No more lives would be lost to the struggle here, and Guo Yan had taken the treasure. This outcome was quite perfect.

He could return to peacefully fishing again.
