Chapter 208: Five Methods Gathered

"Teacher Wang."

Lin Chao entered the courtyard and immediately saw Wang Qiankun.

At this moment, Wang Qiankun did not look to be in good spirits; he looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Lin Chao knew this was a sequela of practicing the Ancient Method.

Seeing Lin Chao, Wang Qiankun's spirits lifted: "Feng Yan, you have returned from Jiuzhou?"

"Yes." Lin Chao nodded, "Teacher Wang, you once said that when I reached the Fifth Tier of the Ancient Method, I should come find you. I am now... at the Fifth Tier of the Ancient Method."

"What?" Wang Qiankun's expression changed abruptly, his pupils dilating.

In Lin Chao's hand, a faint green light spread.

This was the exact characteristic of having cultivated the Wood God Path to the Fifth Tier.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qiankun's heart rate accelerated.

"How is it possible? You have only been cultivating for a few years, yet you are already at the Fifth Tier!"

Wang Qiankun found it unbelievable.

Even those who practiced the New Method, no matter how high their talent, or those few Masters above, no one could reach the Fifth Tier this quickly.

Practicing the Ancient Method was even more difficult.

Feng Yan, in merely four or five years, was already at the Fifth Tier; this could be described as terrifying.

With such talent, I fear even if the Azure Emperor were reborn, he could not reach this speed, right?

"Good! Good! Good!" Wang Qiankun said the word 'good' three times in a row, the flesh on his face distorted by his intense emotions, "Feng Yan, your practice of the Ancient Method is a regret for the New Method, and an honor for the Ancient Method."

This assessment came from the bottom of Wang Qiankun's heart.

The path of the Ancient Method was already broken; Wang Qiankun had originally thought there was no hope in this lifetime to witness the rise of the Ancient Method.

Now, seeing Feng Yan, he truly saw hope for the Ancient Method.

Such a genius, no matter what method they practiced, was an absolute genius.

"Back then, when you practiced the Ancient Method, I once said that when you reached the Fifth Tier, you should come find me.

This is because the cultivation of the Ancient Method is harder than ascending to heaven. Our organization, the Wood God, is entirely composed of practitioners of the Wood God Path. The meaning of our existence is to pile up resources to create a Seventh-Order Transcendent, to let the Azure Emperor return to the human world!"

Wang Qiankun spoke slowly, introducing the organization known as the Wood God to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao narrowed his eyes slightly; his heart felt a tremor, as well as some helplessness.

It could be said that these people of the Wood God were lunatics, sacrificing themselves just to pile up resources for a single powerhouse.

Of course, this had to do with their beliefs, and also with the sequelae of practicing the Ancient Method.

This group of people was worthy of awe, and also made one fearful.

"This is the Wood God Fruit, the accumulation of our Wood God organization over so many years." Wang Qiankun took out a gold box, inside which was placed a ball made of wood.

Wang Qiankun placed his hand into the gold box, and immediately, a majestic Wood God power surged into that wooden ball.

"This is the Wood God Fruit; inside are the cultivation insights of our Wood God. Now, it belongs to you."

Wang Qiankun looked at Lin Chao with anticipation.

Lin Chao's gaze was calm: "Teacher, is there anything you need me to do for the Wood God?"

Regarding the Wood God Fruit, Lin Chao did not feign modesty.

As he was now, he truly needed to rapidly increase his strength.

This fruit could save him a significant amount of time.

Wang Qiankun shook his head, his eyes flashing with intensity: "I only need you to reach the Eighth Rank and give the Wood God Path a way forward!"

"Very well." Lin Chao took a deep breath.

He performed the rites of a disciple toward Wang Qiankun, and finally disappeared from sight.

Wang Qiankun watched Lin Chao's back, a look of relief appearing in his eyes.

Two hours later.

Su Group.

Lin Chao's expression was indifferent: "Miss Su, these are the trade items brought back from Jiuzhou."

"Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Feng Yan." A flash of surprise passed through her eyes as Su Lingxue took the storage bag.

With so many resources, the crisis of the Su Group could be considered completely resolved, and it could even rise to a higher level.

"Mr. Feng Yan, some time ago, the Dark Light Academy sent people to offer an apology, saying that people from the Wang Family had interfered with some of the Academy's regulations." Su Lingxue parted her lips slightly, looking at Feng Yan.

She was even more curious about Feng Yan's identity in her heart.

From the news broadcasts and the Academy's attitude, it was evident that Feng Yan's identity was absolutely formidable.

One must know that the Dark Light Academy was one of the Ten Great Extraordinary Academies, and among the powers in Jing Country, its status was enough to rank in the top thirty.

"Is that so?" Lin Chao responded.

This was the Dark Light Academy showing goodwill toward him.

However, this was not important.

The thing he needed to do next was to strive to improve his strength.

He had set all other matters aside.

Lin Chao's figure disappeared; Su Lingxue watched his back and let out a sigh.

"I wonder what kind of scene he will be in when we meet next time?"

Duodao Sea.

Lin Chao's figure appeared.

The butterfly bird was still flapping its wings, carrying pebbles in its beak, tirelessly filling the sea.

Lin Chao extended his arm.

Occasionally, a flying butterfly-bird would grow tired and stop to rest on his arm.

Unfortunately, each stay would not last long, just a breath or two.

Lin Chao sat on Wangchuan Cliff, his heart as still as stagnant water.

"My Lord." A cold voice came, and Hong Yin appeared near Lin Chao.

Hong Yin looked at that strange butterfly, then looked at Lin Chao, her face full of respect.

"My Lord, before you left last time, you instructed us to collect cultivation techniques for the Ancient Method.

We have collected a total of 1,731.

In the end, we discovered that all Ancient Methods actually originate from five types of Ancient Method cultivation formulas; one of them is the Wood God Path that you, My Lord, are cultivating."

Hong Yin handed the cultivation formulas for the other four Ancient Methods to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao took a look and muttered, "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—they are related to the Five Elements, and also related to the Dawn Bringer."

Many speculations arose in Lin Chao's heart.

Now, with the growth of his strength and the increase in the number of Ghosts he had contracted, he also had a deeper understanding of this world.

Is it possible that these five Ancient Methods represent the five gods of the Ancient Method paths of the Qiyuan World?

The gods fell, and the Ancient Methods were severed.

These five gods should represent the strongest combat power of the Qiyuan World.

But even so, the five gods still fell.

The strength of that Black Hand behind the scenes is simply terrifying.

If he only cultivates the Wood God Path, he would at most reach the level of the Green Emperor, and might not necessarily be a match for the enemy.

A peculiar idea sprouted in his mind.

"What if I cultivate all five methods?"

Lin Chao looked at Hong Yin: "Can you Ghosts also cultivate Ancient Methods?"

Hong Yin pondered: "We can."

Lin Chao nodded.

Generally speaking, a Ghost's strength grows very strongly; the moment they are born represents their future strength.

Therefore, Ghosts generally do not cultivate.

Of course, after contracting with Lin Chao, the strength and potential of these Ghosts have increased, so they can also spend time cultivating.

However, they do not spend much.

This means that these Ghosts can cultivate the five Ancient Methods on his behalf.

In the end, he just needs to merge them into one.

Lin Chao felt that he was truly too clever to have thought of such a method.

However, the only regret is that the Fen Kui Dan cannot be refined anymore, otherwise he could also refine clones to increase his strength.

"From now on, you will cultivate the Ancient Methods for me," Lin Chao said.

"As you command!" Hong Yin did not hesitate at all.

As contracted Ghosts, this is what they should do.

"How is the Ghost Domain now?" Lin Chao asked again.

He had always been keeping an eye on the Ghost Domain.

The Wild Radish King was now also a nail he had in the Ghost Domain.

"The current Ghost Domain seems to have encountered some problems.

This is an opportunity for you, My Lord!" Mentioning this, Hong Yin had a smile on her face.

"What problem?"

"The human Master of Clear Light has taken a fancy to the Charm Ghost King in the Ghost Domain and is about to propose marriage."

"Are humans that strong now? They dare to go to the Ghost Domain to propose marriage?" Lin Chao asked.

A Master is very strong, comparable to a True Immortal.

But in the Ghost Domain, there is no lack of Ghosts comparable to True Immortals.

"That Master possesses a Ghost," Hong Yin said with a look of dread on her face.

Lin Chao also frowned.

What a Ghost represents, there is no need for her to say.

A Ghost almost represents the domain of the gods.

Even a Pseudo-Eighth Rank cannot harm a Ghost at all.

"So that's how it is." Lin Chao frowned.

If it were just a Master, Lin Chao would not be afraid.

However, a Master who possesses a Ghost is not so easy to deal with.

"The Ghost that Master possesses seems to be very unusual.

According to our investigation, it is related to the organization called the Chosen One."

"The Chosen One?"

"The Dawn Bringer is selected by the Chosen One organization and then cultivated.

However, the Chosen One organization has long since perished, leaving only some lonely souls lingering on."
