Chapter 749: Chapter 456 ’Heavenly List’? Even dogs won’t believe it! [1 more update, asking for monthly tickets!]

"Although I can indeed tailor Customized Extreme Skills for individuals, not everyone can Prove Dao. Among the prodigies of the first Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Guo Xi, and others were also cultivating the Absolute Skills I created, but none have yet Proved Dao," Yan Chuan didn’t dare to make promises.

This is also a problem.

Tan Yunqing, having come, obviously had considered this long ago.

Before coming, he conducted secret investigations on Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, and others. Although these people have not yet Proved Dao, their progress in the Postnatal Realm has far exceeded that of ordinary people after cultivating the Absolute Skills created by Yan Chuan, which is remarkable.

Counting again—

Chen Ze, Wang Zhengyi, Ding Xiang, Ying Jifeng.

Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Lu Yuru, Ma Hongniang, Luo Qi, Guo Xi, Jing Bao, Liu Xin.

As of now, Yan Chuan has tailored Customized Absolute Skills for a total of fourteen peak realm prodigies; among them, four have successively Proved Dao in just half a year, a ratio that Yan Chuan still finds insufficient, but in the eyes of others, it is already world-shaking.

As a result, Tan Yunqing, having no other choice, pinned his last hope on Yan Chuan.

For this—

"I have resigned from all my court positions and from now on will follow City Lord Yan’s commands in Tan Valley!" For his son’s Extreme Skill, Tan Yunqing did not hesitate to sell himself to Yan Chuan!

Truly went all out!

Even worrying that Yan Chuan might not accept, Tan Yunqing promoted himself, "Yunqing’s rank on the Heavenly List is inferior to the City Lord’s, and my cultivation is only at the Innate Sixth Layer, but I nourish seventy-two strands of alien species sword energy within me, constantly tormenting me and slowing my cultivation progress. Yet, there is loss and gain; these seventy-two strands of alien species sword energy torture my body and mind, making my physique extremely strong, comparable to a Fourth-rank Divine General. An ordinary Fifth-rank can’t withstand my twelve-strand sword energy release, and those twelve strands of sword energy are not even my explosive limit."

Hiss!

Yan Chuan was shocked!

...

There are not many natives in the Innate stage in Great Yan, and they don’t even compare to any of the seven powerhouse factions of the Four Families and Three Sects in Hunxi Royal City, with only a pitiful forty-odd not even reaching fifty on the Heavenly List, pathetically few.

Among them are newly risen Innnates like Ding Xiang and Ying Jifeng, seemingly mediocre ones like Huang Wuniang, Jiang Bianliu, Tian Jing, Yang Wang, and the deceased Shen Gongtu.

But who knows—

Shen Gongtu secretly cultivated the Twelve-story Tower Divine Arrow Technique and possessed a Fourth-rank peak ’Sky Dome Sunset Bow,’ his shooting skill far surpassing what he showed.

Jiang Bianliu perfectly matched his insights with the Divine Light Scripture, skyrocketing in strength.

Huang Wuniang cultivated the Golden Snake Secret Manual, and her combat power is now unrecognizable.

Tian Jing also underwent transformation thanks to the Divine Light Scripture, Ladder Cloud Jump, and Yitian Slaying Dragon Skill given by Yan Chuan.

One after another.

Only those Yan Chuan knows or has influenced have such hidden depths, so what about Yang Wang? Tian Jing himself? And the seniors on the Heavenly List—who knows what trump cards they might have?

Take Tan Yunqing—

Fourth-rank physique!

The seventy-two strands of alien species sword energy within him, just releasing twelve strands, can threaten a Fifth-rank Divine General!

Nineteenth on the Heavenly List?

Ha ha!

A joke!

...

"Believing in the Heavenly List any longer would be foolish!" Yan Chuan thought to himself.

At the same time.

Yan Chuan was tempted by Tan Yunqing’s proposal.

Having such a combat powerhouse comparable to Fifth-rank Divine Generals or even higher, guarding Tan Valley Royal City, would indeed be impregnable.

However, given Tan Valley’s situation, keeping such a great expert here would indeed be a waste.

If he’s so strong, why not—

...

[Miracle Item·North Mansion (Level 41): The Treasure is damaged, the tier has fallen, containing four stone rooms, each capable of accommodating one person.]

(Upgradable.)

...

[Experience: 3,022,850]

[Spiritual: 4,716,000]

...

Since last month upgraded Treasure Rock with added ’Immortal Stone’ functionality, Yan Chuan has intentionally been accumulating Spiritual, hoping to gather 10 million Spiritual to create the first ’Immortal Stone’, so as to further strengthen two more Miracle Items based on the eight existing ones at Level Four Treasure Rock.

From February 22 to today, March 12.

A bit over twenty days.

After the successful research and development of the Geng Five Absolute Skills: Nine Yin Scripture, Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm, and Qiankun Great Shifting, Yan Chuan has been using three remaining task slots to develop Geng One, Geng Two, and Geng Three Martial Arts, following the same quick and fast strategy as the previous task slot, to rapidly accumulate Spiritual and Experience.

Four task slots, all on quick paths.

With Yan Chuan’s current martial arts accomplishment and established foundation, he can almost complete four Geng One and Geng Two martial arts in sequence a day in the Tan Valley Army’s martial arts lectures, a speed incredibly fast, adding over two million Spiritual in just ten days.

Later, due to lacking conditions for martial arts lectures in Golden Talisman City, the speed of Derivation Skill plummeted, adding only a few hundred thousand over nearly half a month.

Plus a previous balance of over a hundred thousand—

"4,716,000."

Still quite far from ten million: "But if ’North Mansion’ from Fifth-rank to Sixth-rank still doesn’t require any materials and not needing tenfold Spiritual for conventional upgrades, then there’s less than 1 million Spiritual left to reach Sixth-rank of ’North Mansion’."

Thinking about Tan Dou.

Looking at Tan Yunqing.

Thinking again about Tan Yunqing’s combat prowess.

Yan Chuan was prompted, and bet 4.5 million Spiritual at once—

[Miracle Item·North Mansion (Level 50): The Treasure is damaged, the tier has fallen, containing six stone rooms, each capable of accommodating one person.]

(Upgradable.)

...

North Mansion Level 45, added one stone room.

North Mansion Level 50, added another stone room.

"North Mansion."

"Fifth-rank peak."

"Six stone rooms—"

"Lu Yuru, Ding Xiang, Monkey King, Situ Fei."

"Besides that, Tan Yunqing, and Tan Dou father and son also have residence!"

...

"I remember Brother Tan Dou cultivates the Eternal Green Xuanji Force, Senior Tan, could you tell me more about the specifics of this cultivation technique?"

Yan Chuan silently upgraded ’North Mansion,’ seeing two more stone rooms appearing, finally allowed him to engage in deeper communication with Tan Yunqing.

Actually, back during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, from feedback from Tan Dou, Yan Chuan already had a deep understanding of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force and even Tan Yunqing’s Heavenly Gang Swordsmanship.

But this time, he was merely putting on a show.

Tan Yunqing sought Yan Chuan to save Tan Dou, out of desperation, naturally would not hold back, however: "This cultivation technique of Tan Dou’s has a peculiar origin, as City Lord Yan knows, at least Sixth-rank Divine Generals can leave impression marks to prevent Absolute Skills from leaking, Tan Dou’s situation is similar. Therefore, this technique can only be understood by himself and is not transmissible, and even I have observed over years to piece together some outlines."

Tan Yunqing’s face showed difficulty.

Impression!

To prevent leakage!

This is also the main reason Tan Yunqing is helpless regarding Tan Dou’s condition. Without knowing the specific content of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force, it’s hard to prescribe the right remedy.

Yet Yan Chuan—

"City Lord Yan’s eye power is sharp, having become familiar with the Hundred Schools Martial Arts at Cang Mountain. Outsiders would just think that he’s well-informed, yet when the City Lord could provide detailed analysis of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force, Yunqing knew it’s something different about the City Lord." Tan Yunqing observed Tan Dou’s cultivation for twenty years, yet believes his understanding of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force doesn’t compare to Yan Chuan’s in the forty-nine days at Cang Mountain.

Tan Yunqing approached Yan Chuan, also for this reason.

"This is troublesome—" Yan Chuan actually understood the Eternal Green Xuanji Force well, but had to keep it under wraps, not to amaze the world too much.

However, this now allowed him to turn to the main topic: "Without the secret manual of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force, and Brother Tan Dou being unconscious, if I want to tailor a Customized Extreme Skill for him, it must be based on thorough understanding of him."

Yan Chuan frowned.

Hearing this, Tan Yunqing’s heart sank to the bottom, but he soon realized, Yan Chuan was simply frowning, not sighing or sorrowful, meaning—

"Does City Lord Yan have a method?" Tan Yunqing was anxious, hopeful.

Yan Chuan pondered, cautiously replying: "If I could use True Qi to explore by Brother Tan Dou’s side for a few months, perhaps I could try, but—"

However, the time for cultivation in the Innate Realm is extremely precious; Yan Chuan is busy, how could he sit by the unconscious Tan Dou for months?

Yan Chuan is newly Innate, unable to remain idle.

Tan Yunqing, of course, understood, and he eagerly said, "Yunqing can take my son to follow City Lord Yan, willing to be a servant!"

To be a servant and follow?

Truly, fatherly love is mountainous.

"Senior, you honor me; there’s no need for that." Yan Chuan smiled, saying, "I have a treasure called ’North Mansion,’ which contains stone rooms, each accommodating one person. If Senior doesn’t mind, you and Brother Tan Dou could each have a room inside. When I’m outside, I could observe Brother Tan Dou’s internal state anytime and anywhere, and Senior could also look after Brother Tan Dou anytime and anywhere."

North Mansion?

Stone room?

Surprised.

Yan Chuan continued with a smile, "Naturally, I also have a bit of selfishness; Senior’s combat power is extremely strong, if you could accompany me, I could be carefree!"

...

Tan Yunqing did not think long, almost instantly agreed.

Tan Dou is at his wit’s end.

As a father, he had almost exhausted all resources he had gotten over the years on Tan Dou, barely keeping his life. Now, even life support is difficult.

Besides Yan Chuan.

No other way.

Tan Yunqing could only choose to trust Yan Chuan and make a final few attempts.

Seeing Tan Yunqing agree, Yan Chuan was slightly pleased, yet he wasn’t making unreliable promises on Tan Dou’s life or exploiting Tan Yunqing’s fatherly love; he did have his thoughts on Tan Dou’s situation—

"The Eternal Green Xuanji Force is an ’Extreme Yin’ cultivation technique, following the principles of most martial arts, this should be suitable for females to practice. But the Eternal Green Xuanji Force is peculiar wherein ’yin and yang’ are emphasized, and only males with an Extreme Yang Body can endure the ’Extreme Yin Energy’ it generates and can progress firmly. Conversely, females practicing forcefully would find it difficult to make progress. Brother Tan Dou is male, so he succeeded, but since he’s not of an ’Extreme Yang Body,’ he finds it hard to endure the great yin energy influx; if he cannot modify the Eternal Green Xuanji Force before reaching the Innate Realm or cultivate an ’Extreme Yang Body,’ his life would be in danger!"

At Cang Mountain, relying on Mutual Teaching and Learning, Yan Chuan obtained the entire content of the Eternal Green Xuanji Force from Tan Dou. At the time, his understanding might have been limited, but now, after Proving Dao Innate, with a comprehensive view, many subtleties have become clear.
