Chapter 288:
As Lin Yan flipped through these manuals, a woman strode toward him.
Though her face was quite beautiful, her attire made her look fierce.
Not only was she wearing blood-stained armor, but she also carried a pair of large hammers.
These hammers, coupled with her petite figure, created a stark contrast.
Seeing Lin Yan sitting on the ground, the woman frowned and immediately shouted at Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, you're hiding here slacking off again. Hurry up, we're going back to the stronghold."
Lin Yan turned his head to glance at the woman and couldn't help but grin.
This woman’s name was Da Tiechui.
She was the second person Lin Yan met after arriving in this world.
Lin Yan couldn't manifest all his law powers in this world, and his physical strength was restricted.
He couldn't even fully utilize the power of destiny law and had to rely on the methods of these stone tablets.
In this situation, Lin Yan was almost like an ordinary person.
Of course, compared to real ordinary people, he was much stronger.
But in a world with few ordinary people, let alone cultivators, there was no need for him to reveal these abilities.
After all, if he exposed these abilities, people might suspect that he was an outsider in this world.
It might even affect his plans to join these sects and comprehend the stone tablets they possessed.
"Tiechui, have you dealt with everything so quickly?"
Lin Yan got up and casually asked Da Tiechui behind him.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Da Tiechui showed a proud expression on her face and proudly nodded, "Of course, I, Da Tiechui, personally took care of everything easily. Stop talking nonsense, and let's hurry back to the base."
With Lin Yan in tow, Da Tiechui walked to the side.
Da Tiechui brought out a carriage.
The duo drove this carriage toward the distant mountains.
Soon, they arrived at a place where the carriage could no longer pass.
Da Tiechui first found a place to settle the carriage, and then together with Lin Yan, they entered the nearby forest.
After wandering in the forest for a long time, they finally arrived at a cave full of smoke.
This cave was quite large.
Outside the cave, several low walls were built to defend against external attacks.
As Lin Yan and Da Tiechui's figures appeared here, cheers immediately came from inside the cave.
At the same time, many ragged men and women crowded out of the cave.
"Boss Tiechui."
These men and women stared excitedly at Da Tiechui.
Or, more accurately, they eagerly watched what Da Tiechui had brought.
With a smile, Da Tiechui directly threw the things she was carrying in her hands.
Lin Yan stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help shaking his head again.
Where he was now, theoretically, it was a den of thieves.
Everyone here was a former bandit.
But in reality, this was a slum, entirely supported by Da Tiechui, who single-handedly provided for all the refugees here.
Looking at the hungry refugees around him, Lin Yan took the newly purchased manuals in his hand, turned around, found a secluded corner, and continued to browse through them.
"Basic cultivation—Huangfeng Valley Sect."
"Basic cultivation—Green Lotus Sect."
"Basic cultivation—Taiyi Tower Sect."
Each basic cultivation manual represented a stone tablet, representing the cultivation insights left behind by a master of the destiny rules.
Simply looking at these imprints, although Lin Yan couldn't appreciate the true style of these experts of destiny laws, he could still see the paths these experts had taken.
For example, the expert who left behind the stone tablet in Huangfeng Valley Sect relied on entering dreams to manipulate the destinies of others.
This kind of cultivation followed a peculiar direction.
On the other hand, the stone tablet of the Green Lotus Sect relied mainly on destiny laws to strengthen and transcend oneself.
Apart from that, other aspects weren't valued much.
Turning over each of these manuals one by one, Lin Yan marveled at the genius ideas of these predecessors who cultivated the destiny laws.
They had cultivated so many amazing paths from a single set of destiny laws.
However, he also rejected each of these cultivation methods.
The reason was simple: he didn't like them at first sight.
The dislike of words was enough for him to give up choosing these cultivation paths.
Moreover, he could awaken the power of destiny laws mainly because he possessed the life editor.
Just looking at these cultivation techniques of destiny laws that couldn't be linked to the life editor, Lin Yan would almost immediately choose to reject them.
...
Late at night, a figure flew past through the mountains.
This azure planet had obviously had its laws modified by the Temple of Destiny.
On this planet, there was no way to use any other law powers at all.
Even the use of his destiny laws powers was greatly restricted, which meant that ordinary people almost inhabited the entire planet.
Only those who comprehended some of the power of the destiny laws could possess some special means.
Lin Yan was like a visitor in such a typical low martial world.
Of course, once breaking through the constraints of this low martial world, he would immediately leap to the true top-notch cultivation world.
The figure that appeared now could fly above the forest without touching the ground.
Just this ability alone was enough to indicate that the person has definitely comprehended some of the destiny laws. Or in other words, the person was a practitioner of a certain sect's heritage stone tablet in this world.
Only by practicing the contents of the heritage stone tablet could one possess such transcendent power.
The figure flew past through the forest, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the cave where Lin Yan and the others were temporarily staying.
Although simple defense camps were set up at the entrance of this vast cave, the refugees formed these defenses.
They were almost useless against a master who comprehended part of the heritage stone tablet like this.
The figure directly flew over these sleeping camps and landed firmly on a large rock.
The figure then began to scan everything inside the cave.
Under the cold moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that the newcomer was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The middle-aged man had a cold complexion and overlooked everything below with emotionless eyes.
Until!
His gaze fell on one of the stone houses.
Constructing stone houses inside the cave was obviously redundant, and the only one qualified to live in these stone houses was naturally Da Tiechui, the boss.
Although she looked tough in her attire, no matter what, Da Tiechui was still a girl, so her usual residence naturally had to be separated from others.
Just as the middle-aged man set his sights on this stone house, the door of the stone house also burst open at this moment.
Da Tiechui, wielding a pair of hammers, rushed out of the stone house.
"It's you."
"My girl, return with me now, and maybe you can still keep your life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to be ruthless."
Da Tiechui and this middle-aged man obviously knew each other.
Seeing each other, Da Tiechui was obviously surprised for a moment, but then her face darkened.
"You're dreaming."
Faced with the middle-aged man's urging, Da Tiechui shouted sharply. She waved the hammers in her hands and rushed toward him.
At the same time, Da Tiechui shouted loudly, "Lin Yan, wake up quickly and lead everyone out of here."
Da Tiechui's sharp shout instantly spread throughout the entire cave, making everyone inside the cave wake up.
With tired eyes, they looked at Da Tiechui and the middle-aged man already fighting, each showing a frightened expression.
They were just ordinary people, completely powerless against a master who had practiced part of the heritage stone tablet.
Only Lin Yan, standing quietly in the distance, watched Da Tiechui and the middle-aged man fighting.
As a lower Heavenly God Realm expert, even though his cultivation was restricted, Lin Yan's gaze remained.
Whether it was Da Tiechui or this middle-aged man's methods, they were almost a joke in his eyes.
The only thing that slightly caught his attention was the occasional ripples of destiny laws emanating from both of them during their fight.
Even Da Tiechui was like this.
The reason why Lin Yan chose to stay in such a broken cave with Da Tiechui, playing the role of a bandit, was to observe closely the faint ripples of destiny rules that appeared when Da Tiechui fought.
Whether it was Da Tiechui or this middle-aged man, every time a hint of ripples of destiny laws emerged from them, the power of their moves would immediately skyrocket.
It could be said both of them could possess fighting capabilities far beyond ordinary people.
This hint of ripples of destiny laws played a crucial role in this.
Although Da Tiechui displayed her hammer technique, Lin Yan had seen it many times already, so his attention was now more focused on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had no weapons in his hands, but he fought bare-handed against Da Tiechui, who held a pair of hammers.
Although he was unarmed, the middle-aged man's strength was obviously much stronger than Da Tiechui's.
Several times, the middle-aged man's palms met the hammers in Da Tiechui's hands without being injured by the hammers. Instead, he almost made Da Tiechui's hammers slip out of her hands.
"This feeling is definitely not wrong. The ripples of laws emanating from this middle-aged man should be suitable for my cultivation." Lin Yan stared at the man's every move, his eyes brightening at this moment.
