Chapter 293 Something Unexpected

To Lin Chen's surprise, Kong Yan and Kong Lin were already waiting for him.

However, the two of them had no ulterior motives.

Deal with Lin Chen?

The current Lin Chen was not who he used to be.

In the beginning, the Human race was weak, and Lin Chen's strength was not strong enough.

At that time, Lin Chen even had to rely on Kong Yan's Third Revolution strength to make Jin Qiang wary.

Later, Lin Chen even wanted to use resources to support the entire Guangming Sheng Nv (Bright Saintess) race.

But Lin Chen felt that Kong Yan was ungrateful!

So on the battlefield, Lin Chen directly began to separate from Kong Yan.

Kong Yan began to feel a sense of crisis at that time.

And now, Lin Chen was even more incomparably powerful.

Even Zhang Tianwei had killed a god.

This seemed to have given Kong Yan a glimmer of hope.

She began to say that she was willing to advance and retreat with the Human race.

But what were you doing before?

Lin Chen was very angry.

He didn't want this.

Kong Yan had no choice but to directly confront Lin Chen...

She handed over something.

A ruler.

It also had a common name: a teaching whip.

Kong Yan said to Lin Chen, "Human King, this object is a relic left by our race's ancestor, but for thousands of years, no one has known its use. However, if the Human King reads this ancient book, he should be able to know the origin of this ruler."

Lin Chen frowned.

He had come to beat Kong Yan down a peg.

As a result, she directly offered a treasure?

A relic of the ancestor.

The Guangming Sheng Nv race's ancestor!

Who was this person?

Lin Chen curiously examined the ancient book.

As a result, he saw a name: Kong Zeng!

There was also an introduction later...

He authored thousands of "Treatise on Books."

Among them, there were a few sentences.

But when Lin Chen read it, his mind was filled with turbulent waves...

This was clearly a Daoist classic from the Treatise Pavilion!

However, Lin Chen also had questions. He asked, "Shouldn't the Guangming Sheng Nv race all be women? Why is your ancestor a man?"

"It is precisely because of this that the ancestor was severely punished by the Heavenly Palace, and was bombarded by heavenly thunder for eighty-one days, so that his soul could not be resurrected and was reduced to ashes. The descendants of the ancestor were punished by the former gods, and were female slaves for generations. They could even become pregnant with the power of Guangming, and even now, the curse of the gods on us has not been lifted!"

Kong Yan told Lin Chen about some of the past of the Guangming Sheng Nv race.

It turned out that they were not a separate race.

It was a punishment made by the gods for Kong Zeng, the ancestor of the Kong family, for writing and establishing classical learning.

This kind of punishment was really serious enough.

No wonder Kong Yan was so cautious and did not dare to cross the line.

But now it was different. Kong Yan said to Lin Chen, "The Human King now inherits the Treatise Pavilion, so he must already know that this Treatise Pavilion has a great connection with my Sheng Nv race's ancestor... Before my ancestor was punished and reduced to ashes, he had seventy-two disciples, so he held a ruler in his hand for life. After his death, this ruler actually flew back to my clan. Because this thing looks very ordinary, it was not destroyed by the gods."

"The Treatise Pavilion was jointly created by your ancestor Kong Zeng and Li Daozu, the ancestor of the Xianling race... Are you saying that this ruler may be related to the Treatise Pavilion?"

Lin Chen immediately guessed the key point.

Because he had obtained the Three Thousand Daoist Classics, he had taken a different path.

Had no one really taken this path before?

Now it seemed, not necessarily!

Li Daozu, Kong Zeng.

Hadn't these two walked this path?

But how far had they gone?

Lin Chen didn't know much information.

However, Li Daozu was able to create a new race, the Xianling race, with his own strength, and even passed down cultivation methods, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.

And Kong Zeng?

He had actually endured eighty-one days of thunderous heavenly punishment before being reduced to ashes...

That was the thunderous heavenly punishment guided by the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Palace era!

This meant that the two might have possessed a high cultivation realm.

In other words, the path that Lin Chen was taking now had actually been taken by someone before?

The ruler...

The teaching whip!

Could it be the object of the previous generation of sages?

That must be related to the Treatise Pavilion.

"Human King, the biggest secrets of our Guangming Sheng Nv race are the Shen Nian Zhe (Divine Mind Adepts) and this ruler. Now... the Shen Nian Zhe have decided to abandon us, and we have also handed over this ruler to the Human King. The entire Sheng Nv race really has nothing else to help the Human King with..."

Kong Yan said kindly at this time, "We request the Human King to allow us to lead the Guangming Sheng Nv race to find another place to live."

"High Priest!"

Kong Lin seemed to want to say something to Lin Chen at this time.

However, Kong Yan raised her head and interrupted her, preventing her from continuing.

Lin Chen was holding the ruler at this time.

With the sage's teaching whip in hand.

In the next moment, he felt that his entire state of mind had become much clearer...

"When the Great Dao is practiced, the world is for all."

"If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!"

The first sentence was the way of the sage.

The practice of the Great Dao!

The second sentence was what came to Lin Chen's mind when he was holding the sage's teaching whip and thinking of Kong Yan.

Then, Lin Chen opened his eyes.

He looked at Kong Yan.

Suddenly, he found that Kong Yan, who was originally over a hundred years old but still had black hair like a waterfall, instantly had white hair...

Beauty fades in an instant!

"What's going on?" Lin Chen frowned.

At this time, Kong Yan was in a meditative state with her eyes closed.

Kong Lin was kneeling in front of her, and then she cried to Lin Chen, "Human King, the High Priest... she doesn't have much time left!"

"Life also has a lifespan."

"Mortals are only a hundred years old."

"Divine disciples, one hundred and sixty."

"Divine messengers, two hundred to the end."

Such words appeared in Lin Chen's mind.

Then, he looked at the ruler in his hand in surprise...

It seemed that whatever he was wondering about, this ruler would immediately allow him to soberly think of the answer.

Mortals are only a hundred years old.

Divine messengers are two hundred years old.

So, Kong Yan had reached the end of her lifespan?

"High Priest, isn't two hundred years old yet!" Lin Chen said.

Kong Lin shook her head.

She really wasn't.

Then why was she like this?

"If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening... Could it be..."

Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something.

In the next moment, Kong Yan's entire body was burning.

"High Priest!"

Kong Lin cried loudly.

At the same time, many of the Sheng Nv race members also knelt down.

Even the Treatise Pavilion flew over here.

"High Priest!"

Liu Mengyao looked at Kong Yan.

"I will transform my body into flames and be the spirit of the Treatise Pavilion for life. This is... the duty of the Kong family. After my death, the Sheng Nv race will be the Human King's guard army. From now on, we will no longer be oppressed by the gods. Our Sheng Nv race will also rebel against those tyrannical gods!"

Kong Yan opened her eyes.

In the self-immolating flames, she made her final explanation.

Then, she transformed into a spirit and entered the ruler.

Immediately afterwards, the ruler in Lin Chen's hand flew to the sky above the Treatise Pavilion.

In the next moment, Lin Chen discovered...

The entire Treatise Pavilion actually appeared on his attribute panel!

Holy power increased by 100%!

Alright.

He had obtained another treasure.

Because the rhythm had to be accelerated, it felt that a chapter's length should be enough.

Below, the Level Four battlefield begins.
