“Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Ma Mi Ma Mi Hong, come on, let Grandpa have a good look at what kind of cultivation technique this is,” Lin Fan silently prayed, hoping desperately it wouldn’t turn out to be some useless technique.
“The Invisibility Technique,” when Lin Fan saw the description beneath the technique’s name, his heart started pounding with excitement.
This Invisibility Technique allowed one to become invisible. Normally, invisibility alone wouldn’t be particularly useful, since cultivators with high cultivation could sense one’s presence. Even with their eyes closed, they could identify enemies merely by sensing their aura.
However, for Lin Fan, this was a divine skill. Because Lin Fan possessed the System, his own strength was concealed and not emitted outward. No matter how high a cultivator’s cultivation level was, they would be unable to sense Lin Fan’s presence.
For others, this technique was mediocre—only useful for deceiving ordinary people. For experts, whether one was invisible or not made no difference; as long as there was an aura, they could detect it and kill the user.
“Haha!” At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh joyfully. From now on, things were going to be really fun.
Would the Great Yan Empire and the Four Great Clans still be able to block his path?
Originally, according to Lin Fan’s plan, robbing the Great Yan Empire might have required some time. But based on the current situation, there was no need to wait—he could start right away.
After testing the invisibility state, Lin Fan noticed that his true energy was slowly being consumed. With his current total of 2,200 points of true energy, he could remain invisible for a very long time.
Moreover, while invisible, his body could still touch objects normally instead of passing through them. He realized he would need to be extra cautious in the future.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt he was ready to leave seclusion. After three days of cultivation, he had advanced his “Hidden Breath Technique” and was ready to test its results.
“Dong… Dong… Dong…”
Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of bells ringing in his ears.
This was the method used by Tianfu Academy to summon its teachers and students. Whenever the bell rang, it either meant an important event was happening or an important person had arrived.
During the past few days since Lin Fan had arrived at Tianfu Academy, he had only heard of this bell ringing but had never seen any significant event occur. Now, hearing the bell ring, he felt extremely curious and wanted to go check it out.
At the entrance of Tianfu Academy, the streets were deserted as crowds gathered, heads bobbing in a sea of people.
Rows of soldiers dressed in pitch-black armor surrounded the academy’s entrance, creating a vacuum-like zone.
All the senior staff of Tianfu Academy, from top to bottom, had gathered at the entrance, their faces filled with joy, as if they were eagerly awaiting someone’s arrival.
“Dean, the fact that the Yan Emperor and Empress are visiting our academy is a monumental event,” said a middle-aged man standing beside an elderly man with the aura of a cultivator, his expression brimming with excitement.
The Yan Emperor was the strongest cultivator in the Great Yan Empire, his cultivation level unfathomable. Even the elders of the Saint Demon Sect treated him as an equal and dared not act disrespectfully in his presence.
As for the Empress, she was a direct disciple of the Supreme Pavilion of the Devil Sect, holding an extremely prestigious position within the Pavilion.
Together, this couple had elevated the Great Yan Empire to a new peak.
“Indeed. We don’t need to worry about the safety of the Yan Emperor and Empress, but we must ensure the academy is fully prepared. Otherwise, if the Emperor and Empress have a negative impression of us, it would be a serious breach of etiquette,” replied the Dean of Tianfu Academy.
“Understood. Everything has been arranged. I’ve even instructed the students from Class Ding not to return for now.”
“Good.”
…
At this time, Lin Fan quietly appeared within the crowd, listening to the surrounding discussions. His heart was shocked—so the Emperor and Empress of the Great Yan Empire had actually come to Tianfu Academy.
This was truly a monumental event.
Now intrigued, Lin Fan wanted to see what these two supreme figures of the Great Yan Empire looked like.
Thinking about it, he felt a surge of excitement.
“They’re coming!” Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly.
Startled, Lin Fan immediately stood on tiptoe, stretching his neck to look toward the academy’s entrance.
The sight that met his eyes made him gasp in astonishment—the display was incredibly grand.
Hundreds of soldiers clad in golden armor, riding unknown fierce beasts, escorted a majestic dragon-drawn chariot. The chariot was pulled by six beast resembling qilins and was inlaid with countless precious gems that sparkled dazzlingly under the sunlight.
“Halt!” A sharp voice suddenly rang out.
The dragon-drawn chariot, pulled by the six fierce beasts, slowly came to a stop. The beasts pulling the chariot stood still, majestic and imposing, exhaling hot breaths from their nostrils.
Lin Fan took one look and his heart skipped a beat.
How domineering! Even the beasts pulling the chariot were at the Sixth Heaven-Born Stage.
“Greetings to the Supreme Yan Emperor and Empress!” The Dean of Tianfu Academy, with a hoarse and aged voice, loudly proclaimed as he knelt down without hesitation to welcome them.
Following his lead, everyone behind him did the same, paying homage to the supreme ruler of the Great Yan Empire.
Lin Fan was taken aback. Seeing everyone kneeling, if he didn’t kneel too, he’d definitely stand out.
Without hesitation, he crouched down slightly.
Truth be told, Lin Fan wasn’t in the habit of kneeling to others. Crouching was practically the same as kneeling—it was just a gesture of respect, nothing more.
At that moment, Lin Fan noticed someone beside him looking at him suspiciously. He shot the man a glare, “What?”
The man shook his head helplessly before kneeling down and shouting praises.
Lin Fan looked at him with disdain—this guy must be used to kneeling by now.
Once everyone stood back up, Lin Fan quickly followed suit, his eyes fixed intently on the figures emerging from the chariot.
Right now, Lin Fan was genuinely curious to see what the Yan Emperor and Empress were like.
At that moment, a foot stepped out of the chariot, drawing Lin Fan’s full attention.
A bright yellow imperial robe, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. His eyes, filled with a domineering gaze, seemed to command the entire world to kneel before him.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
Little Sky Seventh Stage cultivation level.
This was the highest cultivation level Lin Fan had ever seen. Even someone like Mo Yixuan or Ni Mantian couldn’t compare.
The gap was simply too vast.
After stepping down from the chariot, the Yan Emperor reached out and gently helped a noble, exquisitely beautiful woman descend.
The Empress exuded the grace of a queen mother, embodying both majesty and elegance.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, they were truly a pair of extraordinary beings.
Spiritual Ascension Eighth Stage.
“Your Majesty Yan Emperor, Your Majesty Empress,” the Dean of Tianfu Academy approached them, lowering his posture significantly, almost to the point of groveling. It was as if a single compliment from the Yan Emperor could send him soaring to the heavens.
“Hmph,” the Yan Emperor nodded slightly, his aura exuding an overwhelming dominance. Even Lin Fan, who was no stranger to powerful presences, felt as if he were destined to kneel before such might.
“Having the Yan Emperor and Empress visit Tianfu Academy is an honor beyond compare for our academy. Please,” the Dean humbly said, stepping aside and walking behind them respectfully, not daring to walk side by side with such supreme figures.
With every step the Yan Emperor took forward, Lin Fan could feel a wave of overbearing pressure crashing toward him.
The gathered teachers and students, filled with awe, respectfully cleared a wide path.
At this moment, Lin Fan, staring intently at the Yan Emperor and Empress, suddenly had his eyes drawn to the rings on their fingers—those rings were blindingly dazzling.
What were those? So shiny!
Lin Fan exclaimed in astonishment. These were massive storage rings unlike anything he had ever seen before.
As the thought of storage rings crossed his mind, a sudden realization struck him.
The Great Yan Empire and the Four Great Clans weren’t sects.
Would they store their treasures in secret chambers?
Even the Yan Emperor and Empress were wearing storage rings on their fingers. Surely, their most precious treasures must be carried on their persons.
To rob or not to rob?
At this moment, Lin Fan hesitated.
Invisibility, brick in hand, plundering, turning the tide, Black Tiger Stealing the Heart…
Lin Fan had already imagined the entire process. He was just hesitating whether to go through with it.
After all, the risk was extremely high.
