Chapter 42 Earth Escape Technique
"Ding!"
A group file was sent to this private group of only four people.
[Wang Pangzi (Rank F/Waitress at Chaoge Inn): "Brothers, this is a technique attached to the 'Jade Purity Breathing Technique' that the old man named Jiang Ziya passed down to me... Earth Escape Technique!"]
[Wang Pangzi: "This godforsaken place is too dangerous. Although I don't have any grand ambitions, since we brothers have sworn brotherhood, we should share the good times! I've memorized this earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of escape technique), everyone hurry up and practice it. The more survival skills we have, the better our chances of staying alive!"]
Upon seeing the line of text on the screen, the group chat exploded with excitement.
[Chen Ping (Level E/Outer Ring of Zhongnan Mountain): "Fatty, this is a genuine immortal technique! You're just sharing it for free? I'm so grateful, from now on you're my brother!"]
[Zhao Ye (Rank E/Frequent Cellar Visitor): "Fatty is so loyal! With this earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows me to escape into the earth), I can dig this cellar to the eighteenth level underground and still be safe! Waaah, our mortal brothers are the most reliable!"]
Seeing the genuine camaraderie in the group chat, Lin Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the back of the Thunder Frog, smiled slightly.
In this secret realm of "Investiture of the Gods," where mortals are treated like dirt, a single immortal technique is enough to ignite a life-or-death battle.
Wang Pangzi's willingness to share his life-saving secrets with his group members shows a sincerity that is even purer than that of so-called high-ranking immortals and gods.
With a slight thought, Lin Yuan opened the incomplete copy of "Earth Escape Technique".
"The five elements generate each other; earth, with its virtue of sustaining all things, allows one's vital energy to settle in the dantian, making the body as insignificant as dust..."
boom!
A faint golden light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, even one with exceptional talent...
To comprehend this authentic Jade Purity escape technique, one would need to seclude oneself for at least several months to carefully comprehend the laws of earth.
But who is Lin Yuan?
He possesses the blood of the Golden Crow Emperor from the ancient Demon Court and hundreds of years of refined cultivation!
His supreme Dao body, which allows him to harmonize water and fire, coupled with his unparalleled comprehension, which has been baptized by the Daoist essence of Nuwa's creation, has brought his comprehension to an extremely terrifying level!
He only glanced at the short formula of a few hundred words.
"Buzz—"
Beneath Lin Yuan's feet, a faint layer of earthy yellow ripples appeared.
A layer of earth vein energy automatically merged with his breathing frequency.
I've learned it.
In the blink of an eye, he mastered the basics of the Chan Sect's "Earth Escape Technique."
"Such insight is truly as lonely as snow."
Lin Yuan chuckled softly and memorized this escape technique.
Just then.
The server-wide communication channel suddenly lit up with a golden-red light.
This is the official pinned announcement from the Blue Star military think tank!
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account): Attention all Blue Star compatriots! There are less than two months left until the one-year period expires and we are forced to return to the main world!]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: In the past six months, countless compatriots have shed their blood on the battlefield, but countless others have also come into contact with the true essence of cultivation in this world.]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: In order to preserve the "spark" of our Blue Star civilization to the greatest extent possible, the official decision has been made to release the coordinates of all currently known absolute safe zones free of charge!]
[Ding! The system file "Location Map of Known Safe Zones in the Sealed Mystery Realm" has been issued!]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: All explorers who have not yet acquired the ability to protect themselves, please immediately proceed to the nearest safe zone and take refuge.]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: To live is to win! Please cherish this opportunity and live well!]
Upon hearing this impassioned official statement, a frenzy immediately swept through the entire server's communication channels.
"The authorities have finally done something decent."
"I'm saved! I'm near one of the safe zones. I'll dig a hole and hide there!"
However, Lin Yuan, sitting on the back of the Thunder Frog, frowned slightly.
"Sharing it now?"
He knows all too well the true colors of these powerful politicians in the world.
If these safe zones were announced from the beginning, all the lower-level explorers would definitely hide inside like cowards.
Who would risk their life searching for cultivation techniques outside?
"The officials timed it perfectly."
"In the past six months, most of those damned cannon fodder have died."
"Those who survived, more or less, like Liu Hao and Fatty Wang, came into contact with the 'fate' of this great world."
"These explorers, possessing cultivation techniques and fragments of magical treasures, are priceless treasures to Earth, the sparks that ignite a leap forward in civilization!"
"The spark has already been obtained, and the authorities naturally don't want it to be lost in the last two months, which is why they mercifully released the coordinates of the safe zone."
Lin Yuan shook his head, feeling nauseous at the cold-blooded scheming of those in power.
Just then, a familiar ID suddenly popped up in the server-wide chat.
[Chu Tianhe (Level B/Death Row Inmate of the Yin Shang Dynasty): "Help! Help!! Someone please save me!"]
[Chu Tianhe: "I am Chu Tianhe. I have been imprisoned in the Great Shang Dynasty's death row. The King has decreed that I be used to appease the wrath of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and I don't know when I will be executed!"]
[Chu Tianhe: "Who will break me out of Chaoge prison and rescue me? If you can let me survive these two months and return to Blue Star, my Chu family will give you five million! No, ten million in cash!"]
However, in this world full of gods and demons, ten million in cash is nothing.
They risked their lives to break into the Shang Dynasty's death row; even an S-level expert would be doomed.
The group was quiet, and no one paid any attention.
Chu Tianhe completely broke down and dropped another bombshell.
[Chu Tianhe (Rank B/Death Row Inmate of the Shang Dynasty): "Whoever saves me, I will share the incomplete body-tempering technique of the Shang royal family, the 'Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Bird,' with them free of charge! This is a royal technique!"]
It seems that this royal technique is of sufficient importance, as the official account has resurfaced.
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Chu Tianhe, calm down."]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: "The official system has forcibly enabled location sharing for you!"]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: Your coordinates have been sent to the entire server map. If any fellow countryman in Chaoge who has achieved mastery of his skills can lend a hand, the nation hopes that you will consider this for the sake of fellow countrymen and find a solution.]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank: If you save him, the official team of "The Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Bird" will also provide a backup copy as a reward.]
Seeing this farce unfolding in the group chat, Lin Yuan's lips curled into an even colder smile.
"Save you?"
"What goes around comes around, and retribution is inevitable. Rest in peace."
Lin Yuan didn't bother to look at it again, and with a tap of his finger, he directly closed the server-wide chat history.
"Raidfrog, full speed ahead!"
"Croak!"
Thunder Frog kicked off with all four legs, shattering the void, and carried Lin Yuan, transforming into a streak of purple lightning, heading straight for Chentang Pass on the coast of the East China Sea.
......
Chentang Pass, the rear courtyard of the General's Mansion.
Beside the lotus pond, a small figure with a topknot and wearing a red bib is sitting on the stone steps, hugging her knees.
"What's wrong? Our fearless little tyrant of Chentang Pass, why are you acting like a wilted eggplant?"
A gentle voice sounded from behind.
Nezha turned around abruptly and saw the long black robe. Only then did a glimmer of light manage to emerge from his dim eyes.
"Uncle Yuan, you're back."
Lin Yuan strode forward and sat down cross-legged next to Nezha.
With a wave of his sleeve, a purple light flashed, and the chubby, seemingly clumsy frog landed in the yard with a "thud".
"Croak~"
The Thunder Frog let out a blank croak and stuck out its long tongue to scoop up a flying insect.
"Here, a little creature I just tamed on the road. You can use it as a mount."
Lin Yuan smiled and rubbed Nezha's head.
Normally, upon seeing such a strange and wondrous beast, Nezha would have excitedly ridden it and set it on fire.
But today, he only glanced at it with little interest before lowering his head again.
"Uncle Yuan, did that old mudfish really go to call for help?"
Nezha kicked the pebbles under his feet, looking sullen.
Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened, but his tone remained gentle.
"Little Nezha, you don't need to be afraid."
"I have told you before that you are the reincarnation of Lingzhu, a child of the goddess Nuwa, and you are destined by heaven."
"Behind you stands the Jade Void Palace, and your master, the Great Immortal Taiyi. The mere Dragon Clan of the Four Seas cannot cause any trouble."
"I'm not afraid!"
Nezha raised his head, his little fists clenched tightly, and his eyes were slightly red.
"I pulled out that little mudfish's tendons because his henchman insulted me first!"
"I'll take responsibility for my own actions. If they want to kill or torture me, come at me. If I even flinch, I'm not Li Nezha!"
A tremendous fighting spirit burst forth from its small body, but that fighting spirit quickly turned into grievance.
"But...but I'm afraid my mother will be unhappy."
