Chapter 3694: Purpose of the Holy Land

After everyone had finished eating, Duanmu Xue spoke again, and said, “Aside from the Treasured Fruit, I have another amazing cultivation technique here. As long as you all join the Holy Land and become registered disciples, I can teach it to you.”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Something that could be called an extraordinary cultivation technique by the Holy Land, what kind of cultivation technique was it?
Was this created by a Saint?
Meanwhile, Ling Han was surprised. Previously, the bloodshed in the Mystery Realm was so cruel, but now, they were given Treasured Fruits, and also given an amazing cultivation technique. The contrast was really too great.
Just look, he only had to be a registered disciple, so just how much freedom would he have?
However, the Holy Land of Metal Element had sacrificed so much just to obtain a few registered disciples? What was the point?
Ling Han didn’t believe that the Holy Land of Metal Element would be so kind, not giving benefits to their own people, and to outsiders instead. They weren’t fools.
Thus, he couldn’t understand why the Holy Land of Metal Element would be so generous.
“Dare I ask, Mr Duanmu, what is this amazing cultivation technique?” someone asked.
Duanmu Xue nodded, and said, “This is called Seven Saints Divine Art, and can increase your cultivation speed by more than ten times. Furthermore, the quality of mystical power would also be greatly improved. In a battle of equal cultivation levels, your power would clearly be stronger than your opponent.”
Everyone was both surprised and delighted. They were shocked that the Holy Land of Metal Element was actually willing to take out such an important cultivation technique and teach it to them. They were naturally delighted because after learning this cultivation technique, their futures would be bright and dazzling.
Not a single person was suspicious?
Ling Han was astonished. How could treasures fall from the sky for no reason? Were they all idiots?
No, not one of these people was an idiot. The reason why they all looked like they had been blinded by lard was probably because they had been affected by the Celestial Tree previously.
At that time, even he had almost transformed into a murderous demon. Thankfully, he had the Six Characters Bright King Curse to dispel the internal demon in his heart.
This wouldn’t change a person’s mind, but it would definitely have an effect, making them only see the benefits.
Alarm bells rang loudly in Ling Han’s mind. What was this Holy Land of Metal Element doing? They were definitely up to no good.
He remained calm and collected. Worse come to worst, he could just summon the Heavenly Dao Flames. In any case, he was “Niu Jianhua”, and they wouldn’t be able to find him.
“However, cultivating the Seven Saints Divine Art requires the cooperation of two people, one yin and one yang. As the saying goes, solitary yin doesn’t breed, and solitary yang doesn’t grow,” Duanmu Xue said seriously. He clapped his hands, and another twelve people walked over.
Hou Yongzheng, Shi An, and Wen Feiwen were among them. They were precisely the Twelve Star Envoys of the Holy Land of Metal Element.
“Let me introduce. These twelve people are the Twelve Star Envoys of the Holy Land, and they are also the twelve strongest members of the younger generation of our Holy Land,” Duanmu Xue said with a smile. “When one cultivates the Seven Saints Divine Art, the faster one’s partner can cultivate, the faster one’s own cultivation speed will also increase.”
“The Twelve Star Envoys have long since cultivated the Yang chapter of the Seven Saints Divine Art. Now, they will make their choice, and pass on the Yin chapter of the Seven Saints Divine Art. There are also some specific ceremonies that have to be carried out. These are all necessary.”
Hou Yongzheng and the others walked over, and didn’t spend much time either. It was as if they had long since decided, and had each found their own training partner.
Ling Han’s training partner was a woman. She was extremely beautiful, and was also the only female among the Twelve Star Envoys. Her figure was extremely tall, and she was dressed in a tight-fitting red outfit, completely highlighting her impressive figure.
She nodded at Ling Han, and said, “What a coincidence. Junior Brother Niu, my surname is Ma, and my name is Ma Fenyu.”
Was it really a coincidence between a bull and a horse®?
Ling Han chuckled, and said, “I would have to disappoint Miss Ma. I have no plans to join a Holy Land, and cultivate this Seven Saints Divine Art.”
When these words fell, everyone was stunned.
Not cultivating?
A cultivation technique that could increase the rate of cultivation by at least tenfold, and you won’t cultivate it?
This was the cultivation technique of a Holy Land!
Could it be that you don’t know what the Twelve Star Envoys represent?
In every generation, only extremely outstanding disciples would be qualified to become candidates for the position of Twelve Star Envoy, and they would have to go through countless competitions before they could officially become a Star Envoy.
Once he became a Star Envoy, this would be a lifetime position. Even if he disappeared or died, it would not be replaced or replenished.
In future, the Star Envoys would all be big shots of the Holy Land, and had hopes of becoming great elites on the level of Sect Master.
Thus, to be able to practice the Seven Saints Divine Art together with a Star Envoy, what kind of great fortune was that?
You actually refused?
Ma Fenyu had not expected this either. She stared blankly at Ling Han, and for a moment, did not know what to say.
“Hehe, I have no plans to cultivate this Seven Saints Divine Art either.” Another voice rang out.
Hong Tianbu!
Duanmu Xue’s expression was a little ugly. Ling Han and Hong Tianbu had the highest standing among this group of people, and they were also the ones he valued the most, yet now they were both saying no?
He humphed, and said, “What a joke. The teachings of the Holy Lands are not something that I would beg you all to learn.” He swept an eye over the others, and asked, “Is there anyone else that does not want to learn?”
No one spoke. Even if their divine sense wasn’t affected, they probably wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of the Seven Saints Divine Art, right?
“All right, you guys can leave first.” Duanmu Xue waved her hand.
Everyone left, leaving only Ling Han, Hong Tianbu, Duanmu Xue, Ma Yufen, and Jiang Zhengping—Jiang Zhengping was Hong Tianbu’s training partner.
“You guys… really don’t want to learn?” Duanmu Xue’s previously gentle expression changed, and an ominous glint flashed across his face.
Ling Han smiled, “Didn’t Mr Duanmu just say that there is no need to beg us to cultivate the technique of the Holy Land? Then please send us off.”
He very much wanted to personally capture Hong Tianbu and bring him back to the Imperial Capital.
Duanmu Xue sneered, “After eating the Treasured Fruit of our Holy Land, you want to leave just like that?”
Hong Tianbu’s expression changed drastically, and he said, “As expected, there’s a conspiracy behind your teaching of the cultivation technique!”
He had fused with the eye of a Primordial Beast, so his willpower was naturally strong. Though his mind was also slightly affected, it was far better than others.
Duanmu Xue laughed loudly, and said, “Of course! We’re not a charity, specialized in doing good deeds.”
“But what conspiracy could there be in passing on cultivation techniques?” Ling Han asked.
“You don’t have to know that,” Jiang Zhengping said.
Yet Duanmu Xue smiled, and said, “It’s fine. Just tell him. In any case, he can’t possibly run out.”
He was an elite of the Core Formation Tier. So what if Ling Han was a 10-star genius? He could smack him to death with a single hand.
Since he had already said so, it would not be proper for Jiang Zhengping to object further. He only wore a dark expression, very displeased.
He had his eye on Hong Tianbu’s aptitude, but the latter objected. It would be difficult to find another high quality cauldron.
“It’s true that the Seven Saints Divine Art can increase your cultivation speed by 10 times,” Duanmu Xue said calmly. “However, this is at the cost of expending your lifespans. Thus, you can only live for 10 years at most.”
Both Ling Han and Hong Tianbu’s expressions changed drastically. This was far too devious.
“But what benefits do you have?” Hong Tianbu asked in a solemn voice.
“Of course there is,” Duanmu Xue said with a smile. “Have you forgotten that you guys still have a cultivation partner? Ten years later, your cultivation partner will completely absorb your fruits of cultivation, and it would not be a problem for them to charge up to the cultivation level of a major tier in one go, saving a few hundred years, or even a thousand years of hard cultivation in fact!”
F***, so ruthless!
