Land of the Spirit Source.
Yang Fan smacked his lips. It did sound pretty good.
An Sheng wanted to bring him along to search for opportunities, but it was out of good intentions. Yes, it was understandable.
After all, no one wanted to have a teammate with bad character. Otherwise, what if they were stabbed in the back when they reached the Secret Realm?
Yang Fan thought to himself. If he had such a quota in his hands, he would definitely be more cautious.
The dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated. The more he looked at An Sheng's chubby face, the more pleasing it was to the eye. It felt like a delicious cake that had just come out of the oven.
An Sheng seemed to have felt the change in Yang Fan's attitude. His courage was boosted. He instantly puffed out his chest and became arrogant again.
"Little Fan, let me tell you. This is an extremely rare opportunity. You might not know, but in the entire Federation government, there are over two thousand eight hundred Martial Arts Grandmasters. Nearly seventy percent of them have been to the Land of the Spirit Source before!"
"It can be said that as long as you can successfully come out of the Land of the Spirit Source alive, you will definitely have hope of becoming a Grandmaster!" An Sheng looked at Yang Fan from the corner of his eyes. "Now, do you know how much Big Brother has taken care of you?"
Just now, he was still calling him Big Brother Fan. Now, he had become Little Fan. This fatty was starting to act cocky again!
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little dissatisfied with the fatty's change in attitude. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was quickly stunned by the news An Sheng unintentionally revealed.
In the entire Federation government, there were over two thousand eight hundred Martial Arts Grandmasters?!
Why had he never heard of this before?
The Federation government had such a strong reserve of combat power. It was reasonable to say that they would publicize it. But why had he never seen any other Grandmasters in West Chu City other than the Grandmasters from Nan Nan?
Moreover, on the West Chu City's local area network, there were very few descriptions and introductions of other Grandmasters from the Federation. Why?
"What else could it be?" Hearing Yang Fan's question, An Sheng sighed softly. "Naturally, it's to protect those Master Stage powerhouses from being besieged."
"You should know that the number of Grand Masters in the Human Clan Federation is less than one third of the total number of middle-rank and high-rank Demon Kings. The reason why we keep it a secret is to prevent the demons from accurately judging the specific strength of the Grand Masters in the cities under the jurisdiction of the Human Clan in case they are targeted by the demons."
"Over the years, the Federation has been having a city-destroying battle every few years. It's because the information about the grandmaster-level experts in those cities has been completely grasped by the demon race that they can invade without any scruples."
"After all, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds will appear. There are also traitors among the human race who are willing to be slaves and servants."
Yang Fan's mind trembled and he couldn't help thinking of the battle of West Chu City that he had to experience when he first entered the game.
The Four Great Demon Five gathered to block and kill the South Grand Masters, but in the four cities closest to West Chu City such as East Chu City, Hundred Flowers City, Luo City, and Origin City, not a single Grand Master came to help.
This was extremely abnormal in itself!
A distance of a few hundred kilometers was only a matter of minutes for a grandmaster-level powerhouse. Was the reason why those Grand Masters didn't come in time really because they were targeted by the demons?
The demons were powerful, so they could take the initiative to attack cities that posed no threat to them. As for the Human Clan, they could only passively defend and didn't dare to take the initiative to counterattack.
Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that some people with weak wills would want to defect to the enemy. Things like traitors and traitors couldn't be eliminated no matter what era it was.
Although the city-destroying battle was only a simulation in the virtual world and didn't really happen, it didn't mean that such a situation wouldn't happen in the real world.
West Chu City was in such a hurry to form an alliance with East Chu City that they didn't hesitate to expend almost all the warriors in the city to open up a tunnel underground. They might have considered this aspect before.
In the apocalypse, the Vassals could only increase their chances of survival by huddling together. Otherwise, if they fought separately, they would only be defeated by the demons outside the city one by one and take advantage of the situation.
"Since the demons are so powerful, why would they allow the Human Clan to grow so strong? Wouldn't it be easier to just send a few more Beast Tides and wipe out the Human Clan?"
Yang Fan was puzzled and asked An Sheng again. Usually, he wouldn't have the chance to ask such a question. Since An Sheng had taken the initiative to bring it up today, he could ask all the questions that had been in his mind before.
If the demons were so powerful, why would they give the Human Clan a chance to breathe? Weren't they afraid of raising a tiger that would bring calamity?
Yang Fan had grown up in West Chu City since he was a child. Although the government had always preached the terror of the demons and encouraged them to practice martial arts and hunt demons, Yang Fan had always lived in the city. He had parents to take care of him at home and teachers to teach him at school. He had never truly seen the brutality and terror of the demons.
The peaceful and quiet life in West Chu City for more than ten years even gave Yang Fan the illusion that he was living in an era of peace.
His initial goal in practicing martial arts was to show off, for the praise of his parents, and for the worship in Yang Guo's eyes.
Even now, before he came out of the virtual world of "Salvation", he had been persisting in practicing martial arts just to prove that he was not a good-for-nothing.
So Yang Fan couldn't understand. Since the world was so dangerous, how could he live so peacefully in West Chu City for eighteen years?
An Sheng proudly said, "That's because the Human Clan also has an Emperor! The Spirit Emperor, the Sword Emperor, and the Thunder Emperor, the Three Emperors together intimidated all the demons on earth, making them not dare to easily launch a large scale war to destroy a city. Otherwise, once the Emperors are angered, the land will be scarred for thousands of miles. The Human Clan will suffer heavy losses, but the demons won't have it easy either. "
"Alright, alright, what's the use of saying this now? With our little cultivation, I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in the battle between the Emperors even in a hundred years. Let's focus on the present."
An Sheng was a bit impatient from Yang Fan's questions. He directly asked Yang Fan, "I'm officially inviting you now. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"
Yang Fan came back to his senses from the news of the Three Emperors and coughed softly, "You just said that as long as we can come out of the Spirit Source alive, what does that mean? Is there some unknown danger in the Spirit Source?"
An Sheng was speechless. Was this the main point of his words? The last part of his sentence was obviously the key point.
"Danger, it is indeed a little bit dangerous." An Sheng also coughed softly and said vaguely, "Because when the Spirit Source was first discovered, other than the Human Clan, the demons also noticed it. So, every time the Spirit Source opens, whether it's the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, they will send a portion of their elites to snatch the resources and opportunities inside. "
"Of course, other than the Demonic Beasts, it is said that there are also some strange creatures that appear in the Land of Spiritual Sources. Occasionally, they will clash with humans or Demonic Beasts that enter the Land of Spiritual Sources."
"However, this is very normal, isn't it? The appearance of such a great treasure will definitely attract competition and covetous eyes from all sides. Opportunities and dangers always come together. We can't possibly miss out on such a great opportunity just because there is a certain amount of danger in the Spirit Source Land, right?"
Yang Fan nodded, "That's right, but why me? With such a good opportunity, if you are willing, there will definitely be a large number of experts willing to escort you, right? "
This was what Yang Fan couldn't figure out.
He was only an Eighth Level Martial Disciple and a Third Level Spirit Reader Master. With this kind of cultivation, not to mention the entire Federation, even in this small West Chu City, he was an insignificant existence. He couldn't be compared to the top, but he could be compared to the bottom.
If An Sheng really wanted to choose a powerful companion to team up with to fight for the opportunity, it didn't seem to be his turn no matter what.
Yang Fan believed that as long as An Sheng spread this news, even those Master Level experts would be moved.
"Who told you to be my brother? If I don't take care of you, who should I take care of?" An Sheng laughed and patted Yang Fan's shoulder in a righteous manner. He proudly said, "I see that your potential isn't bad, so I want to give you a hand at a crucial time. Treat it as an early investment."
Still pretending? Do you think I'm stupid?
"Spirit Thrust!"
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and slightly increased the strength of the Spirit Thrust. An Sheng's body trembled and his face instantly turned purple. His spiritual sea boiled and he almost fainted from the pain.
"Brother, you are my blood brother!" After three seconds, An Sheng woke up with tears in his eyes, "I'll tell you the truth, okay? Please don't suddenly attack me like this. I'm not mentally prepared at all. It's too uncomfortable!"
Yang Fan's lips curled. He really liked An Sheng's current attitude. Listen, this' blood brother 'was so polite. It was much more pleasing to the ear than' Little Fan 'or' Little Fan '.
Moreover, he really liked this child's intelligence. Look, he didn't even ask anything and this fatty already knew what he wanted to say.
"The reason I chose you is not because you are outstanding, but because I really couldn't find anyone I could trust a hundred percent."
An Sheng's face was bitter, his voice a little bitter, "I am the only child of the An family. It's because of these two spots to enter the spirit source that people have been eyeing. In the past ten years, my old man and I have been kidnapped, threatened, intimidated, and even assassinated several times every few months."
"There's no other way. In order to avoid these troubles, my old man thought of ways to send me to this small D grade city in the middle of nowhere. It's been three years."
"Now that the spirit source is about to open, if I can't find a suitable person, I can only go in alone. With my current cultivation and strength, if I go in alone, I'm most likely going to die. "
"To be honest, if you didn't suddenly become a level three spirit reader and barely have the strength to fight, I wouldn't have thought of bringing you to die with me."
Yang Fan pursed his lips, "If you're afraid of death, why don't you just not go? If you sell the spots, you can still eat and drink well, can't you? "
An Sheng laughed awkwardly, "You don't say, I really did have such thoughts before, but the rules set by the king are there. Only the direct descendants of the An family can use the spots. Without me, even if I sold the spots, it would be useless."
"With my little strength, would I dare to casually bring an unfamiliar person into the spirit source? What's the difference between that and seeking death?"
"If I just give up this opportunity, I'm a little f * cking reluctant. After all, it's a rare opportunity, who wouldn't want to get a chance to become a Master?"
"And if I miss out this time, there will be other families to fill in. When the spirit source opens again in the next ten years, my An family will have nothing to do with it."
Yang Fan shook his head. This fear of death and pretentiousness really suited this fatty's wretched personality.
"That's not right, don't you have an old man?" Yang Fan raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you let your father go in with you? Wouldn't it be better for the father and son to explore the secret realm together? "
"Do you think we don't want to?" An Sheng said gloomily, "If you want to enter the spirit source, although there are no strict restrictions on cultivation, your bone age cannot exceed twenty years!"
"Otherwise, you'll be rejected by the spirit source space. If you force your way in, not only will you not get any opportunities, you'll also speed up the loss of life force.
"More than a hundred years ago, during the first two times the Land of Spiritual Sources opened, because they didn't know the rules within, many cultivators who were over the age limit died of old age not long after entering. With such a precedent, who would be tired of living and dare to rush in again? "
