Chapter 127: Tremors Across the Great Yan, Secluded Cultivation Begins!
Without another word, Lin Fan stepped into the sky. With a thought, the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand, flashing with purple lightning.
He slashed downward toward Wang City!
RUMBLE—
In an instant, deafening thunder boomed across the heavens!
Above the city, countless bolts of purple lightning burst into existence, then rained down like divine judgment!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Within moments, everything within a thousand meters was engulfed in a sea of thunder!
The city's buildings, streets, corpses—everything was swallowed up and vaporized by the lightning storm.
Lin Fan continued slashing with the Thunder Sword until the once-mighty Wang City had completely transformed into a thunderous sea.
Only then did he finally put the sword away.
Hiss—
The onlookers gasped, stunned beyond words.
This wasn't just any city!
In the Great Yan Dynasty, only the Imperial Capital, the headquarters of the Three Great Sects, and the other Three Great Clans could rival Wang City in size and grandeur.
Aside from the capital, Wang City was considered among the very top.
Yet now, in the span of a single day, a city that was once prosperous and full of power had been turned into a lifeless wasteland—a sea of thunder and death!
And the one responsible…
Was just a young man named Lin Fan!
At that moment, everyone's eyes were filled with nothing but reverence and awe.
Even Lin Fan was deeply shaken.
He looked to Lin Fan and said,
"Now that this matter is settled, why not come with us to Lin City? I'll arrange for someone to escort the Flame City Lin Family there as well."
Lin Fan smiled and replied politely,
"Thank you for the offer, Clan Leader. But I still have some matters to handle in Flame City. I'll bring everyone to Lin City before the clan gathering."
Lin Fan didn't press the issue. "Very well. I'll await your arrival at Lin City."
"Oh, right—if possible, I'd like to request that the clan send out a wanted notice for the remaining inner family members of the Wang Clan," Lin Fan suddenly added.
Lin Fan's gaze flickered, then he nodded with a smile.
"Consider it done. What about the branch families?"
"No need," Lin Fan said with a shake of his head.
Like the Lin Clan, the Wang Clan had many branch families.
Most of them had little connection to the main family and hadn't enjoyed any real benefits from them.
There was no need to implicate them.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Clan Leader Lin Fan and Elder Lin Mu, Lin Fan bid them farewell and left.
After Lin Fan departed, Lin Mu smiled. "Congratulations, Clan Leader. In the upcoming Seed Selection, we're guaranteed a slot."
Lin Fan grinned. "With Lin Fan's strength, no one could question that."
"Let's go. We'll return and send out wanted notices for the remaining Wang inner family members, and also send some resources to the Flame City Lin Family."
With a light laugh, Lin Fan led the other Lin Clan elders back toward Lin City.
As Lin Fan and the Lin Clan experts left, the surrounding spectators looked one last time at the thunder-covered ruins of Wang City, then gradually dispersed.
Soon after, word of Lin Fan's annihilation of the Wang Clan spread like wildfire through the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
The entire kingdom… was shaken to its core!
As for Lin Fan, he ignored the outside noise. After traveling for more than half a month, he returned to Flame City.
Seeing him back, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When they learned that the Wang Clan had been destroyed, the whole Lin Family was both shocked and overjoyed.
Qing Tan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Fan. "Brother Lin Fan, you're amazing!"
Lin Fan smiled. "Like I said before, the world is vast. Right now, I can only dominate the Great Yan.
Outside of this place, my strength still isn't enough."
"But even out there, I believe you'll become the strongest!" Qing Tan replied with a bright smile.
"Haha, our little Qing Tan sure knows how to flatter," Lin Fan laughed and gently ruffled her hair.
The next instant, the familiar system voice rang out in his mind:
[Ding! You touched Lin Qing Tan and received True Explanation of Formations!]
True Explanation of Formations?
Now that was an unusual reward.
Intrigued, Lin Fan didn't check it right away.
That evening, back in his room, he took the thick book from his system space and examined it.
The True Explanation of Formations was a dense tome containing detailed knowledge of formations—
Countless ancient arrays, their principles, designs, and techniques.
For an average person, it would take decades, maybe a lifetime, to understand even a portion of it.
But for Lin Fan, who possessed heaven-defying comprehension, this wasn't an issue.
He read through the entire book once and committed it all to memory, instantly understanding the core principles.
With proper materials, he could now lay down powerful arrays with ease.
As for breaking them? That would be even simpler.
After finishing the book, Lin Fan had become the undisputed number one formation master on the Tianxuan Continent.
"Nice reward. Now I won't have to worry about dealing with arrays anymore."
He nodded in satisfaction and returned the book to his system space.
He then spent about a week with his family, guiding the younger generation in their cultivation.
Afterward, he officially announced his seclusion.
His goal: to refine the Celestial Talisman Spirit Tree.
At the secluded site, Lin Fan summoned the tree from his system space.
The Celestial Talisman Spirit Tree was small in size but radiated a mystical aura.
Each branch resembled a naturally-formed rune, pulsing with the power to connect heaven and earth.
Lin Fan's eyes locked onto the strange glowing rune in the center of the trunk—it was the core of the tree.
He quickly reached out before the tree could react and grabbed the rune.
With a quick tug, he yanked it free.
The tree instantly began to wilt before his eyes. The branches drooped, its life force vanishing rapidly.
"A shame it can only be used once."
Lin Fan sighed, then stored the withered tree.
He sat cross-legged, placed the rune before him, and activated the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.
A black hole appeared at his forehead, swallowing the rune.
Chi chi…
The devouring force surged outward, wrapping around the rune, which soon began to tremble.
Streams of vibrant green energy were forcibly pulled out and absorbed into the black hole.
Refined by the Devouring Talisman, this strange energy flowed directly into Lin Fan's Niwan Palace, continuously and without end.
