316: Wives' "Efficient Death Plan"

Inside the secret room, the air seemed to solidify.

Lin Fan looked at the two beauties before him, and the strange light in their eyes filled his heart with an ominous premonition.

He was very familiar with this kind of light.

It was the light that appeared in his own eyes every time he found a perfect "death-seeking location."

"We have an idea..."

Zhao Linger and Li Hanyue spoke simultaneously, then exchanged a knowing smile, tacitly letting Zhao Linger speak first.

With a flip of her fair hand, an ancient Jade Slip appeared in her palm, engraved with profound Pill Patterns—it was the ancient Pill Formula she treasured.

"Lin Fan, look at this."

She handed the Jade Slip to Lin Fan, activated her Divine Thought, and projected a screen of light.

Displayed on the light screen was a Pill Formula named the Taiyi Soul-Molding Pill.

Just by looking at it, Lin Fan recognized it as the ultimate advanced version of the "Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill" he had previously helped refine. Its effect was no longer simply cleansing the Divine Soul, but reshaping the Divine Soul Origin, allowing a Cultivator's Divine Soul strength to achieve a qualitative leap!

This kind of Medicinal Pill was enough to drive any Sect mad.

"I've studied this Pill Formula for a long time, but I haven't been able to refine it," Zhao Linger said with a hint of regret. But the next second, her voice became excited, "It's not because of the technique, nor the heat control, but because of the core main ingredient."

Her jade finger pointed at a line of text on the Pill Formula that emitted a faint light of thunder.

[Divine Thunder Quenched Divine Soul Origin].

"This Material only exists in the theories of ancient classics," Zhao Linger explained, her eyes shining astonishingly. "Because any Cultivator, under true Divine Thunder, suffers the fate of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. It's impossible to retain a complete Divine Soul Origin, let alone use it for Alchemy."

"But..."

She raised her head and looked intently at Lin Fan, her gaze like Columbus discovering a new continent.

"You can."

Li Hanyue, standing beside her, quickly added. Her voice was as cold as ever, but it also contained a trace of irrepressible excitement.

"I once saw a record in a Rare Sword Dao Manuscript that deep in the Star Domain, there is an ancient forbidden land called the Ten Thousand Swords Burial."

"There, the thousands of sword skeletons of a Quasi-Emperor Level Sword Cultivator are buried. Every sword retains his Indestructible Sword Intent until death. Any creature stepping into it will have its Divine Soul instantly annihilated by that terrifying Sword Intent."

Li Hanyue's gaze also fell upon Lin Fan.

"If you can repeatedly die and repeatedly resurrect within that Sword Intent Storm, feeling that Quasi-Emperor level supreme Sword Dao every time..."

She did not continue speaking, but the meaning was self-evident.

That would be the ultimate Opportunity coveted by every Sword Cultivator, yet guaranteed to result in certain death!

Lin Fan: "..."

He opened his mouth, momentarily unsure of what to say.

He looked at his two wives before him: one holding a Pill Formula, excitedly researching how to maximize the benefits of him being struck dead by lightning.

The other was demonstrating Sword Moves, contemplating how to make him die under thousands of strands of Sword Qi to comprehend the strongest Sword Dao.

The entire secret room was filled with an absurd yet strange... cozy atmosphere.

It turned out that after digesting this shocking secret, their reaction wasn't fear or rejection, but immediately, from their respective professional perspectives, they began planning a "High-Efficiency Death Plan" for him.

Upgrading directly from a monster that couldn't die to "Strategic Cultivation Consumables" with infinite refills?

Wasn't this treatment a bit too good?

...Outside the secret room door.

Fatty Zhang pressed his ear against the cold alloy door, using all his strength to try and eavesdrop on the movements inside.

Unfortunately, the Restriction set up by Lin Fan was too powerful; let alone sound, not even a trace of Energy Fluctuation could leak out.

Just as he was about to give up, perhaps due to a one-in-ten-thousand-second flaw in the Restriction, a few fragmented words intermittently drifted into his ears.

"...Divine Thunder... strike dead..."

"...Ten Thousand Swords Burial... die how many times..."

"...benefit... Risk Assessment..."

"...it's decided... next time... method of death..."

Buzz!

Fatty Zhang's mind instantly went blank.

He abruptly stepped back two paces, his plump body leaning against the cold wall, cold sweat instantly streaming down his temples.

Divine Thunder? Struck dead?

Ten Thousand Swords Burial? Die how many times?

These... what kind of Shocking Words are these?!

The two sisters-in-law were actually discussing with the Boss in the secret room... how to kill the Boss?!

And judging by the tone, it wasn't the first time?! They even designated a "next time"?!

An earth-shattering thought exploded in Fatty Zhang's mind: Murdering one's husband!

Wait!

The Boss is so strong, how could the sisters-in-law succeed?

Then... was the Boss willing?

Fatty Zhang instantly conjured up a ten-thousand-word Palace Drama.

Could it be that the Boss had fallen for someone else, the new veiled woman outside, and wanted to use this to get rid of the two sisters-in-law?

Or was this a kind of... intimacy between powerful individuals that he couldn't understand?

Fatty Zhang's expression changed repeatedly, finally settling into a look of tragic determination.

No way!

As the Boss's Number One Confidant, he absolutely couldn't stand by and watch the Boss go astray! He had to do something to save this crumbling family!

...Inside the secret room.

Lin Fan had recovered from his initial state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Looking at Zhao Linger and Li Hanyue, who had already begun seriously conducting "Project Assessment," an unprecedented warmth surged in Lin Fan's heart.

He knew they weren't using him.

This was their true way of accepting him, the "Anomaly."

Instead of hiding the secret and pretending it didn't exist, they treated it as a shared trump card among the three of them, using their wisdom to transform this terrifying ability into tangible strength that the entire team could share.

They were using this unique method to share the burden of this solitude that no one else could understand.

"Linger's plan has higher priority."

Lin Fan quickly made his decision.

"Once the Taiyi Soul-Molding Pill is successfully refined, it can universally enhance the strength of our Core Members, holding greater strategic value for the newly established Immortal Alliance."

"As for the Ten Thousand Swords Burial," he looked at Li Hanyue and gave her a reassuring look, "let's treat it as the goal for the next stage, once we are stronger."

Li Hanyue nodded coolly, having no objection.

She simply looked at Lin Fan quietly and whispered, "Be careful in everything, even if... you can return."

Zhao Linger also put away the Pill Formula, her beautiful eyes filled with concern: "Divine Thunder is no small matter, especially Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder. It contains an extremely strong Will of Destruction. You must be fully prepared."

"Don't worry."

Lin Fan smiled.

He stretched out his hands, taking one in each arm, gently embracing the two "Death Planners" who worried themselves sick over him.

Feeling the genuine warmth and softness in his embrace, the last traces of worry and confusion in his heart completely vanished.

What about the Great Calamity?

What about the Hunters?

As long as they were here, as long as this home remained, even if he had to stand against the entire Universe, what did he have to fear?

What's more, the dead ends in the eyes of others were, to him, just one rewarding... game after another.

"Alright, then it's settled!"

Lin Fan released the two, his eyes flashing with eagerness.

"Immortal Alliance 'High-Efficiency Death Plan' Project One, officially initiated!"

"Target: Search for high-quality Thunder Sources, use the body to attract the thunder, and obtain the 'Divine Thunder Quenched Divine Soul Origin'!"

Zhao Linger seemed to have anticipated his choice long ago, and immediately took out a new Jade Slip from her Storage Ring and handed it over.

"This is what I compiled from ancient records: all the areas near this Star Domain where powerful thunder might appear, including several famous Thunderstorm Nebulae and some ruins where powerful individuals failed their Undergoing Tribulation."

Lin Fan took the Jade Slip and swept it with his Divine Thought.

It was densely marked with over a dozen Coordinate Points, each accompanied by detailed Risk Assessments and environmental descriptions. Its professional thoroughness left Lin Fan astonished.

His gaze finally landed on one Coordinate Point that was highlighted in red.

That was a dark Star Domain named the Burial God Abyss.
