CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 206 "KILL THIS PLAYBOY.

Emperor Kong?!

Lu Jin’an looked at the stone statue in the center of the cave mansion, towering five meters high, his pupils narrowing slightly.

The stone statue of Emperor Kong in his sight was identical to the one in Mist River Cave Heaven.

Except that it was not as tall as the one in Mist River Cave Heaven, the sitting posture, expression... even the Immortal Sword ’Du Duan’ in its hands was exactly the same.

Could it really be Emperor Kong?

Lu Jin’an didn’t expect one of the Martial Gods worshipped by the Eastern Dynasty to be Emperor Kong.

However, he also understood that the stone statue before him was merely a carved stone, for Emperor Kong’s remains were in Mist River Cave Heaven.

Various pieces of information about Emperor Kong flashed through his mind, and Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but glance at Dong Lan, who had placed three incense sticks before the stone statue of Emperor Kong.

So the Eastern Dynasty was originally the heirs of those who worshipped Emperor Kong... No, that’s not right.

The history of the Three Great Dynasties east of the Eastern Great Realm is at most five thousand years, while Emperor Kong was the first Immortal of the Human Clan fifty thousand years ago, and back then, the ancestors of the Eastern Dynasty wouldn’t even have been around.

So it’s more likely that the ancestors of the Eastern Dynasty accidentally obtained some of Emperor Kong’s teachings from some ancient Grotto Heaven or relic and thus established the Eastern Dynasty?

But if that’s the case, how could Lin Yuan Sword Sect and East Slope Confucian Academy be unaware of even such obvious information?

Lu Jin’an gently rubbed his fingers, then heard Dong Lan’s voice suddenly by his ear: "Are you intimidated by the Martial God?"

Lu Jin’an lowered his eyes and did not look at Dong Lan beside him, instead asking softly: "Can you tell me His name?

If there are any taboos, it’s okay if you don’t want to say it."

"The Martial God shines upon His people, why would mentioning His name incur punishment?" Dong Lan smiled slightly: "The Martial God doesn’t have a specific name, but His Majesty the Great Ancestor venerates Him as the ’Sky God’.

"Sky God?" Lu Jin’an felt a stir in his heart.

When he came out of Mist River Cave Heaven, Lin Yuan Sword Sect and East Slope Confucian Academy didn’t react much to the image of Emperor Kong... so it’s not the difference between ’Emperor Kong’ and ’Sky God’ that caused them to ignore it.

Are they pretending not to know, or...

So he continued to ask: "Why do you worship Him?"

"You must be from some remote place outside the border." Dong Lan tilted her head, looking at him: "A silly child who knows nothing."

Lu Jin’an smiled, temporarily not revealing more information to her.

The existence of faith has its reasons, but the believers may not be pure.

Especially concerning the ’lies’ of faith... if he were to tell the truth, the other party would only think he was desecrating the divine, desecrating the entire Eastern Dynasty.

He wanted more information, so he could only go along with the other party’s intentions for now.

"This isn’t something that can be explained in one or two sentences." Dong Lan didn’t directly answer Lu Jin’an’s question: "You need to understand Him personally to know His place in history.

Once you undertake work under me, I’ll naturally have someone take you to learn about Him."

Lu Jin’an asked: "Won’t you take me yourself?"

Dong Lan shook her head: "I respect the Sky God, but my faith is in another Martial God."

Lu Jin’an thought for a moment, then asked: "Since this is your base, why don’t you place the Martial God you believe in here?"

"Because besides the Body Refining Method, the Sky God is also skilled in mystical arts." Dong Lan replied: "These mystical arts counteract the Buddhist Sect, so those baldies can’t find this base."

Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Lu Jin’an’s eyes, counteract the Buddhist Sect?

A half-demon counteracting the Buddhist Sect?

One must know, the Taoists and monks of the Tao and Buddhist Sects are skilled in arts of slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits.

Even if they weren’t good at it in the past, in this era, at most, a half-demon Emperor Kong of the Divine Presence Realm could control the Buddhist Sect with what?

With his head?

Besides, Emperor Kong has long been deceased, on what grounds could he counteract the Buddhism that has flourished to this day, or its Immortal Artifacts?

Lu Jin’an turned to look at Dong Lan: "You mentioned that your Breathing Technique was taught by a God, so... the God is still alive?"

Dong Lan looked up at the sky: "The Martial God has always existed."

"Oh?" Lu Jin’an was about to continue asking, but Dong Lan spoke first: "I know you’re curious about the Martial God walking the wrong path, but once you go to the Martial Temple, you’ll naturally feel the power of the Martial God.

Saying too much won’t give you any profound insight."

She stepped towards an empty lot not far away: "I’ve wasted enough time already."

Saying this, she began practicing her fist and leg techniques under Lu Jin’an’s gaze.

Lu Jin’an asked aloud: "Morning exercises?"

Dong Lan did not respond, just continuously adjusted her breathing during her morning practice, ensuring that her Breathing Technique continually matched the frequency of her fist and leg techniques.

The Eastern Dynasty, as a Body Refining Dynasty, has developed Body Techniques over generations, and they have matured. Lu Jin’an watched Dong Lan’s demonstration of fist techniques during her morning practice and noticed her style was similar to the Eight Trigrams Palm.

Body like a swimming dragon, steps like wading through mud, each palm strike accompanied by wind.

Though exquisite, Lu Jin’an paid more attention to the Breathing Technique Dong Lan used.

Utilizing the Time Rule for deduction, Lu Jin’an indeed discovered some of its intricacies.

This Breathing Technique, during Body Cultivation breathing, could directly extract the natural Qi from the heavens and earth, thus harmonizing with the attributes of the internal organs to stimulate physical potential.

But... can this Breathing Technique temper the body to a degree comparable to five Dao Palaces?

As he pondered, Lu Jin’an saw Dong Lan finish her set and leap into the air, hanging her legs upside down on a stone pillar and performing sit-ups with her hands holding her head.

As her body moved rapidly, a sheen of sweat quickly surfaced on her skin, and the lines of her abs were clearly visible.

Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but take a few more glances and casually asked: "Do you train like this often?"
