Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 588 - 038: Talking Someone into Submission

Fang Yan stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with shock.

The events of today were just too overwhelming,

so overwhelming that he could hardly digest them.

This sudden appearance of the man in green before him, even though Fang Yan couldn't sense auras, he at least knew this man must be an extremely terrifying figure. Not to mention his father, the patriarch of the Fang family, didn't have such presence, even the steward from the Wind and Thunder Hall earlier was likely far inferior to this man in green.

But, what did this man in green say?

The master he just paid respects to is an ancient warrior from ten thousand years ago?

The master just said that he's a figure from a previous era, initially thinking it meant a few hundred at most a thousand years ago, after all, the Song country has been established for only eight hundred years.

But he never expected that his cheap master would turn out to be an old relic from ten thousand years ago!

And then there's the Immortal Road struggle, proving the Dao and becoming an Immortal,

those words Fang Yan could hardly understand, yet he knew that his master was likely far from being as simple as he imagined.

"What are you talking about, sir? I don't understand."

The old man looked warily at the man in green before him, his voice devoid of any fluctuation.

"Why pretend to be confused? Since I'm here, naturally, I know a few things."

Austin hovered leisurely in the high air, speaking lightly.

Fang Yan looked at the mysterious man in green in the sky, within him filled with anticipation and longing for certain ancient secrets from the other party's words.

Even if he couldn't fully understand, just a few words could make him imagine the magnificent scenes of that era of turbulent storms.

Seemingly seeing through Fang Yan's thoughts,

a voice that was both present and absent slowly echoed through the void:

"People only know the eight realms of Martial Arts, Body Refinement, Condensing Essence, Sea of Qi, Void, Celestial Being, Nether Luo, Dharma Aspect, and Venerable,

Contemporary Venerables are elusive, Dharma Aspect is already a great power, yet they do not know that beyond the eight realms of Martial Arts, by reaching the ninth, nine is the ultimate number, the endpoint of all Martial Arts —

Immortal!"

"What is referred to as Immortal is not the vagaries of romance imagined by you ordinary ants, dining on wind and dew, not partaking in human smoke and fire, soaring through the clouds, merely relegated to the characters in worldly folklore and miscellaneous writings."

"Immortal, already transcending from Martial to Immortal, the pinnacle of Martial Dao, surpassing the mundane, surpassing the Venerables, surpassing the world, transcending all tangible and intangible constraints, reigning supreme over the world!

Mastering Yin and Yang, governing heaven and earth, omniscient and omnipotent!"

"Such beings cannot be depicted by any language or writing of time, only upon reaching that realm can one imagine its incredible, dazzling splendor."

"Even contemporary great powers at the Venerable level, having reached the current pinnacle, feel this is no longer human but sacred, hence crowned as Martial Immortal!"

In Austin's clear voice,

Fang Yan seemed to see that lofty existence hanging above the nine heavens, overlooking the earth and rivers, encompassing the stars and universe within a palm. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Such a being,

might truly deserve the name of Immortal!

The white-haired Gu Town Yuan stood silently beside, his thoughts a mystery to all.

"In the Cultivation Realm, with each generation replacing the last, if counting each thousand years as a generation, almost every generation sees a flourish of talents, with the younger generation emerging one by one to compete for the pinnacle of Martial Arts, to stand at the ultimate point of Martial Arts.

However, throughout ancient and modern times, within these ten thousand years, the world has withered, though the heaven and earth are vast, not a single person has been able to achieve the position of Martial Immortal.

A Celestial Secret Mage, based on its rules, speculated that the reason might be that a generation of heroes, talents like rain, one person becoming an Immortal would consume the unseen fate and destiny of the entire Cangxuan Realm, causing the world's heroes to wither. Only by passing through a long difficult period of Martial Arts can the glorious age be welcomed again, reopening the struggle for the Immortal Dao!"

Gulu.

Fang Yan gulped hard, feeling that the worldview he had built over the past decade was utterly refreshed, shocked beyond belief.

In the void, Austin's gaze fell on Fang Yan, with a half-smile:

"Kid, do you know that the last person to become an Immortal was exactly ten thousand years ago."

"And the master you bowed to was once a fortunate yet unfortunate loser in that universal contest from ten thousand years ago?"

Ten thousand years, a reincarnation.

Anyone who becomes an Immortal, does so by dominating the entire world with their own strength, eliminating all competitors on the Immortal Road, monopolizing ten thousand years of celestial fate, one person becoming an Immortal.

In the roaring tide of ten thousand years, only one person can walk to the end!

This is the proof of the Dao, becoming Immortal!

The grandpa in Fang Yan's ring, in fact, during the competition of that grand era, was not considered a peerless genius and was far inferior to those few shocking geniuses who failed to contend with the one who finally became an Immortal, merely a common genius on the road of mortal competition.

During the fall back then, he was only at the Dharma Realm cultivation level.

However,

it was both unfortunate and fortunate.

This one failed to contend, but a wisp of his residual soul fortunately survived to this era by obtaining a great chance.

In the future information observed by Austin, this one will assist Fang Yan, achieving the position of Venerable, becoming one of the powerful competitors on the Immortal Road in this era.

"So what?"

Gu Town Yuan looked deeply at Austin, his gaze profound, his voice gently echoing in the void.

In secret, a voice sounded in Fang Yan's ear.

Fang Yan's expression changed slightly, thought for a moment,

and nodded.

Seemingly ignoring or indifferent to the other's subtle movements.

Austin's face remained calm.

"Nothing else, as a newcomer very interested in that universal Immortal Road contest from ten thousand years ago. I would kindly request the senior to provide the memories of that era for a review, and naturally the inheritance technique of the Reincarnation Sword Master at the pinnacle of Extreme Dao back then. The jade of another mountain can be used to polish one's own, please fulfill this request, and I will, of course, pay a sufficient price."

The voice was calm, like talking about something as mundane as eating and drinking.

Gu Town Yuan's residual soul narrowed, eyes showing a cold glint, spoke quietly:

"What if I say no."

In this realm, the transmission of techniques is always from teacher to student, from father to son, extremely scrutinizing their own inheritance.

Snatching others' cultivation and martial techniques is already a mortal enemy.

The air seemed to solidify.

A great battle, on the verge of breaking out!

Yet the man in green, who was Austin in disguise, seemed oblivious, as if it was just as simple as wanting to drink water or eat.

Spoke lightly:

"I am someone who usually reasons well, if the other doesn't reason with me, then I'll defeat them to make the reason clear and then talk."

Rumble!!!

The fierce wind howled through the air, sweeping up a terrifying gale of the eighteenth level at the back mountain,

crack crack...

Large sections of the void cracked, the space shattered piece by piece like a mirror, the earth's soil disappeared in large fragments, reduced to dust, scattered like ash!
