Wang Yan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Duan Henan standing in front of the door. Although this Brother Duan still had a cold face, Wang Yan caught something different from his eyes. 【

"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit?"
Duan Henan was unexpectedly polite. Wang Yan was very surprised. He quickly got up and said, "Brother Duan, please come in."
As he spoke, Wang Yan went to the door and invited Duan Henan into the room. After he sat down, Wang Yan stood beside Duan Henan and listened attentively.
Looking at Wang Yan's cautious appearance, Duan Henan laughed and said, "Junior Brother, you don't have to be so restrained. Just sit."
Before his voice fell, Duan Henan flicked his sleeves and a round stool was immediately swept in front of Wang Yan. Seeing this, Wang Yan no longer acted pretentiously and sat beside Duan Henan. Duan Henan smiled and nodded, seeming to be quite agreeable with Wang Yan's temperament. Then his eyes fell on the Yuan Orifice Technique in Wang Yan's hand and asked, "I heard that Junior Brother's laughter was full of joy before. Did Junior Brother gain something from this secret technique?"
"Senior Brother, please understand. Yesterday, Wang Yan competed with Senior Sister Xiaoyue in terms of speed on a whim. With my Qinggong, I am no match for Senior Sister Xiaoyue, but Senior Sister Xiaoyue is a generous person and finally gave this Yuan Orifice Technique to me as the prize of the competition.
I didn't expect that after a day and night of meditation, Wang Yan gained a lot from this Yuan Orifice Technique. That's why I was so carefree before. If I disturbed Senior Brother, please don't blame me. "
In front of Duan Henan, Wang Yan was always polite. However, Duan Henan waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. For us martial artists, it is a happy thing to obtain a martial art and gain something from it. You just laughed to your heart's content.
In the past, Sword Sage Lingyun sat on the Cloudless Peak of Sword Worship Mountain for eighty-one days, observing the world and comprehending the Great Way. Finally, he created the Lingyun Sword Technique in one fell swoop. In his joy, Sword Sage Lingyun slaughtered eleven sects that had a grudge with our Aojian Villa just to test his sword. "
Duan Henan's words were said lightly, but Wang Yan's heart was stirred when he heard it. He had long known of Great Elder Sword Sage Lingyun's prestige, but he didn't think that there was such a past. Slaughtering eleven sects just to test his sword was really insolent and domineering. However, as a fellow swordsman, Wang Yan also understood the desire to test his sword technique after making great progress. After all, after he finished his Closed Door Meditation, he really couldn't bear to stay in the mountain and used Xiao Douzi and Lin Ghu Wan, who had just become martial artists, as his test subjects.
"This Yuan Chi Technique is also a good secret technique. Perhaps for a Mutant like Junior Sister Gu, it only has the effect of increasing the speed of drawing the sword, but for real martial artists like us, understanding the key points of it will greatly benefit us."
After Duan Henan said this, he looked at Wang Yan with a burning gaze. In an instant, Wang Yan felt as if he had been completely seen through. He knew in his heart that Duan Henan had already distinguished whether he was a 'player' or not. Although he didn't know how Duan Henan did it, he knew that Duan Henan must have a deeper meaning for pointing out this matter.
Therefore, Wang Yan picked up where Duan Henan left off and said, "Senior Brother's eyes are like a torch. Wang Yan is indeed a true martial artist, and he has always had doubts about the existence of Mutants. I wonder if Senior Brother can dispel this doubt for Wang Yan?"
Before this, Wang Yan had already learned from Linghu Wan some of the views of some high-ranking NPCs on Mutants, but he didn't particularly understand. After all, Mutants' immortality was an extremely powerful ability, so why were those high-ranking NPCs not interested in them at all?
"The Dissimilated Men don't really exist in this world. They came to this world through a method similar to the Great Cultivators in antiquity times. At first, many people were interested in the immortality of the Dissimilated Men and wanted to learn the secret of longevity. However, Tianyuan Holy Island made a special statement about this matter, saying that the Dissimilated Men are just weak creatures in the outside world who accidentally encountered a Taoist Treasure of Fortune, so they could come to this world in the form of a doppelganger projection. In addition, after a period of observation and getting along with each other, many people found that the Dissimilated Men were indeed weak and had no special abilities. Moreover, they were completely different from us warriors. Over time, everyone became accustomed to the existence of the Dissimilated Men and had a relatively consistent understanding of them."
As if sensing Wang Yan's doubts, Duan Henan gave a detailed explanation of the nature of Mutants. This was the first time Wang Yan had heard such a detailed analysis, and his understanding of the nature of 'players' also deepened. However, he didn't completely believe Duan Henan's words, because in his previous understanding, the creation and destruction of this world were closely related to the world the 'players' resided in. The so-called Creation Treasure was just something that existed in the ancient myths of this world. As for the truth, Wang Yan would find the answer himself in the future.
However, there was one point that Wang Yan strongly agreed with Duan Henan's words. Players and martial artists were completely different. This was not only reflected in the matter of cultivation. In the words of Diwu Yun, the essence of life of both sides was also completely different. It was precisely because there was no similarity between the essence of life of both sides that the immortality of players was meaningless to martial artists. Presumably, the high-level NPCs had realized this, which was why they had lost interest in Mutants.
"Mutants are nothing more than scabies. Their cultivation of martial arts is merely borrowing the divine power of the outside world. Most of the martial arts that Mutants cultivate only have the form, but not the spirit. It might not be obvious in the beginning, but the more profound the secret manual, the more you will be able to see the clues.
Moreover, Mutants are not a single entity. Their temperaments differ greatly from each other. Take Junior Sister Gu for example. Even during the sect's most difficult times, she did not abandon it. Moreover, she performed outstandingly in several life-and-death battles. It is precisely because of this that Master accepted her as his disciple. However, Master's actions might not necessarily be a way to gain a deeper understanding of Mutants' thoughts. "
Duan Henan did not hold back and explained everything about Mutants. His opinion of Mutants was also similar to what Linghu Wan had told him. However, after listening to Duan Henan's explanation, Wang Yan understood the reason behind Duan Henan's words, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.
However, although Wang Yan understood the attitude of high-tiered NPCs toward Mutants, new doubts arose in his heart. For example, did high-tiered NPCs like Brother Duan have a template for displaying status information? Did they consider the essence of this world and its connection to the world players resided in? However, for the time being, Wang Yan could not voice these doubts out. After all, he and Brother Duan had not known each other for long. It was a taboo to talk too much to a shallow acquaintance. Moreover, it also involved the understanding of the essence of this world. If he asked rashly and shook Brother Duan's heart, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.
As for whether Brother Duan knew about the existence of Experience Points, Wang Yan felt that it was not important for the time being. After all, with Wang Yan's current cultivation, ordinary players would not be able to give him much Experience Points. And with Brother Duan's strength, even Clasping Yuan Realm players would not be able to give him much Experience Points. But were there Clasping Yuan Realm players in this world?
Using Mutants as a starting point, Wang Yan also relaxed a little. When Brother Duan finished speaking, Wang Yan stood up and bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Wang Yan thanks Brother Duan for your kindness."
Wang Yan bowed with sincerity. Duan Henan also accepted it. He understood what Wang Yan meant and said with a smile, "Yunma School was just a matter of convenience. It's just that Yang Yuan is not easy to deal with. Fortunately, he is also a quick-witted person. Perhaps he received some news in advance, so he did not dare to explode in front of me last night. He has personally promised that the grudge between him and you will be considered settled. In the future, whether in public or in private, he will not act against you. It's just that you caused a lot of trouble in Tianmaji, so there is no additional compensation."
Duan Henan spoke casually, but Wang Yan knew that the grudge between him and the Black Water thief had been suppressed, and the weight in his heart had been lifted. However, when he heard Duan Henan's vague mention of information, he couldn't help but ask, "Is the information Brother Duan mentioned related to Miss Four?"
"No."
Hearing Duan Henan's denial, Wang Yan was slightly disappointed. Seeing this, Duan Henan said, "Junior Brother Wang really has a relationship with Miss Four?"
Wang Yan didn't directly respond, but only took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist pouch. Seeing this, Duan Henan's pupils shrank slightly, and he said with some surprise, "Precious Warm Yang Jade, Miss Four actually gave this to you!"
Duan Henan clearly knew the origins of this item. Seeing this, Wang Yan spoke in detail about the incident at the Ice Moon Wintry Pool and how he later met Jin Wuyan. Finally, he said, "Although Miss Four might not remember a minor character like Wang Yan now, Miss Four first saved Wang Yan's life, and then gave him a treasure. When Wang Yan was still insignificant, Guibo specially asked Senior Jin to take care of him. These favors, Wang Yan will never forget.
Therefore, before this, Wang Yan had already made up his mind to make a trip to the Northern Victory Province and do his best to find Miss Four's whereabouts. It was only later that he learned that Brother Duan had brought people here that he came to pay a visit. "
"I see."
After understanding this, Duan Henan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Since you are someone that Miss Four values, there is no harm in telling you some secrets. This time, Yang Yuan could admit defeat, on one hand, because I stood up for you, and on the other hand, he might have received news that our Aojian Villa's siege will soon be resolved."
The sect's predicament will be resolved? Wang Yan was shocked. He had clearly asked Gu Xiaoyue before, but Gu Xiaoyue didn't know anything about it. What happened in between? Why was the Aojian Villa besieged by foreign sects?
Seeing the doubt in Wang Yan's eyes, Duan Henan changed the topic and said, "Do you know what this world was like in ancient times?"
If it was in the past, Wang Yan naturally wouldn't know. However, from the True Scripture of Non-Phase Sensing Origin, he more or less understood the situation in ancient times. He replied, "I only know that in ancient times, this world had five spiritual pivots that controlled the spiritual opportunity of heaven and earth. Therefore, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was overflowing. The almighty people of ancient times used this to create the path of cultivation. From then on, those who were favored by heaven and earth could cast off their mortal bodies and cultivate to become immortals."
"That is indeed the case. Unfortunately, this world encountered three great calamities, causing the spiritual pivots to collapse, and the spiritual opportunity of heaven and earth to become chaotic. Under the upheaval of heaven and earth, the three great celestial provinces sank one after another. Only a group of islands in the Heavenly Starry Ocean survived. Later, the almighty people who escaped from the calamity gathered all the islands with heavenly means, and then moved the spiritual opportunity to reconstruct the spiritual pivots, thus becoming the Central Pillar Province of today.
