Chapter 96

"Sea-Calming Pearls!"

"Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler!"

Looking deeply at the items in Lin Fan's hands, a sharp light shot out from Laozi's eyes, and countless calculations were quietly activated at this moment.

After only three or five breaths, Laozi understood the whole story and said thoughtfully: "It is indeed a path to achieve the Dao!"

"Without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and in the situation where one cannot prove the Dao to become a Saint, the combination of these items can indeed allow you to possess the level of top-tier combat power standing below the Saints!"

"However, to be honest, you really didn't have much of a connection with this thing before."

"Hiss~"

Hearing this, Xuandu on the side could not help but gasp.

Although he did not know the specific situation, being able to receive such praise and recognition from Laozi already indicated that this matter was by no means ordinary.

Subconsciously looking at the Sea-Calming Pearls and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler, a trace of longing could not help but rise in Xuandu's heart.

However, he did not have a greedy heart; after all, he was Laozi's only personal disciple and the only successor of the Ren Sect.

He was not so lowly as to snatch things from his Junior Brother, especially snatching others' opportunities; this did not conform to his own Dao.

"Grand Senior Brother has great insight!"

With an awkward smile, Lin Fan understood the meaning of Laozi's words.

The original owner of these Sea-Calming Pearls was Zhao Gongming, but now they had been intercepted by himself.

However, Lin Fan could not speak of such things, and after only three or five breaths, he said: "I wonder if the Grand Senior Brother is satisfied?"

After speaking, Lin Fan's gaze was fixed on the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler.

"Very well~"

Nodding, Laozi understood the meaning of Lin Fan's words.

Without hesitation, he waved his large hand, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler appeared directly in the area where Lin Fan was.

After doing all this, Laozi raised the corners of his mouth and said: "The potential of the Sea-Calming Pearls is very strong, but twenty-four is only the number of the Zhou Tian, not the number of its perfection. If you can gather the other twelve Sea-Calming Pearls, the blessing of the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls will be enough to make you even better."

The other twelve Sea-Calming Pearls?

There are thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls?

His pupils constricted, and Lin Fan was filled with incredible shock.

This news from Laozi was truly inconceivable, and even made people somewhat unbelievable.

After all, in the records of later generations, there were only twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, not thirty-six.

Subconsciously, Lin Fan's gaze turned to Tongtian Saint.

After all, he did not know about this, and the only person who could confirm the information was Tongtian Saint.

"There are indeed."

Facing his gaze, Tongtian Saint did not beat around the bush and said directly: "In the Primordial Era, the Sea-Calming Pearls were one of the top treasures of the Dragon Clan."

"When the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls are fused, the power they unleash is not much inferior to an Innate Supreme Treasure."

"The most important thing is that once you gather the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls and learn a certain Dragon Clan secret technique, you can raise the grade of the Sea-Calming Pearls to the level of a Superior Innate Lingbao."

"Unfortunately, after the ancient Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the Sea-Calming Pearls suffered losses. Twenty-four of the Sea-Calming Pearls were collected by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and placed in the Fenbao Cliff, and were later obtained by me, but as for the specific whereabouts of the other twelve Sea-Calming Pearls, that is not something I can know."

So that's how it is!

After listening to Tongtian Saint's account, Lin Fan suddenly realized.

Immediately after, his breathing became rapid.

There really are thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls.

Besides that, cooperating with the Dragon Clan secret technique could also raise the grade of the Sea-Calming Pearls, and their combination could achieve destructive power comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

From this, it can be seen that the potential of the Sea-Calming Pearls is huge.

Unfortunately, twelve are missing.

Otherwise, the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls would be incomparably powerful, not to mention evolving them into thirty-six Heavens in the future.

"Does Big Brother mean that you know the whereabouts of the other twelve Sea-Calming Pearls?"

At this time, Tongtian Saint turned his head to look at Laozi on the side and asked.

He knew that his Big Brother would not speak casually; since he said such things, the possibility that he knew the information about the remaining twelve Sea-Calming Pearls was very high.

Similarly, Lin Fan also raised his head to look at Laozi, his gaze burning with expectation.

"I do indeed know."

Facing the inquiry, Laozi waved his hand indifferently and then said: "Those twelve Sea-Calming Pearls did indeed disappear after the ancient Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, but that does not mean they do not exist!"

"After all, they are Innate Spiritual Treasures; even human power cannot destroy them."

"It is just that they were eventually collected by five races, namely the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Qilin Clan, the White Tiger Clan, and the Black Tortoise Clan."

"So many years have passed, and I do not know specifically who has the Sea-Calming Pearls, but they must be in the hands of the descendants of the Wu Clan."

Hearing this, Lin Fan frowned.

Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Black Tortoise, White Tiger!

These five races were the top races of the Primordial Era, but the White Tiger occupied the West, and the Black Tortoise occupied the North Underworld.

And the Western land of that era belonged to the territory of the Demon Ancestor Luohou, and the vast majority of the clansmen belonged to the Demon Sect's team; even if there were still members of the White Tiger Clan left, they had disappeared over the years and were difficult to find.

However, the White Tiger is also one of the Saint Beasts, and it still lives in the West today, being a Western hegemon just like the Western Sect.

The Black Tortoise lineage emphasizes bloodline; except for the one in a billion Black Tortoise, the rest are basically of the Black Turtle and Black Snake type.

And this type of existence belonged to the Dragon Clan in the Primordial Era; for example, the current Four Seas Dragon Kings are all equipped with Turtle Prime Ministers, which is also because the existence of the Black Tortoise makes their status and position incomparable to others.

Plus, after the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the Dragon Clan occupied the Four Seas, the Qilin went into seclusion, and the Phoenix Clan went into seclusion; the difficulty of obtaining the last twelve Sea-Calming Pearls from their hands is not small, and even...

"Thank you, Big Brother, for your guidance!"

Tongtian Saint spoke quietly and said directly: "Lin Fan, you already know where the remaining two Sea-Calming Pearls are."

"Since that is the case, I will not participate in this matter."

"Wait until your cultivation reaches a sufficient level, and then you can go and collect them yourself!"

"This can be considered a test for you, and also a short-term goal for you!"

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan woke up as if from a dream, and without any hesitation, he bowed and thanked him.

Although it would be easy for a Saint to collect the remaining Sea-Calming Pearls, he also wanted to collect them himself.

In the end, it is true that he is a Saint's disciple, but he cannot always rely on the Saint; some things still need to be experienced and completed by himself, and this is also a kind of tempering.

Just at this moment, Lin Fan's body stiffened, and the system's prompt sounded quietly in his mind:
