Chapter 12534

After all, the level that Lin Yi is currently displaying is at least on par with the Emperor Saint.

I've never heard of anyone specifically asking to have dinner with Emperor Sheng himself.

Normally, Lin Yi wouldn't even give such an incomprehensible person a second glance.

But the chips the other side offered were quite interesting.

"Forcefully breaking through the Dharma form?"

Lin Yi's eyes flashed: "He has something like that?"

Strictly speaking, the Dharma Form Breaking Technique is not a specific Dharma Form Secret Technique, but rather a concept corresponding to the Dharma Form Explosion.

Dharma Explosion is a general term for various secret techniques involving flying props.

"Dharma-image Strong Break" is a general term for secret techniques that break through enemy attacks.

All Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques that can be used to break through defenses can be called Dharma Aspect Strong Break.

Regardless of the specific secret technique, as long as it can be used to break an opponent's attack, it means having the initiative to interrupt the opponent's offensive at any time.

Take a simple example.

If Lin Yi's three initial moves hit, the opponent could use the Dharma Form to forcefully interrupt the attack the moment they saw it, thus avoiding the continuous damage from the second and third moves.

The key is not just that; by taking advantage of the stun created by the counterattack, the opponent can completely turn defense into offense and launch a counterattack.

The significance of such secret techniques in a true duel between masters is self-evident.

It's no exaggeration to say that among two equally skilled masters, one can use the Dharma Form to break through, while the other cannot.

The latter will inevitably be crushed by the former.

However, precisely because of this, the secret techniques of breaking through the Dharma form are extremely valuable, far surpassing ordinary secret techniques of the Dharma form.

Lu Bukui thought for a moment and said, "In terms of connections, Fang Taichu is indeed a top-tier figure in Tianjun. It's not surprising that he can collect such secret techniques."

"His public persona has always been that he is generous and good at making friends."

"Rumors suggest that not only many powerful families have connections with the five great masters of the aristocratic families, but also that they have interacted with each other."

“He basically invites anyone who is an outstanding figure in Tianjun.”

Lin Yi said with a hint of amusement, "So it really is something I'd like to see for myself."

Lu Bukui cautioned, "So far, there's no bad reputation about this person, but he's closely connected to the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, so it's best to be wary."

"My suggestion is that we shouldn't go to see this senior for now."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "If you're not going, senior, I'll go and wade in the water first. Surely I, the Great Emperor of Termination, won't be turned away at the door?"

Such a powerful breakthrough of the Dharma form is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

If the other party actually has it, and we just let it slip by, even Lin Yi would have to regret it.

into the night.

As instructed in the invitation, Lin Yi arrived at a mountain villa called Cloud Peak Villa.

Although the location is somewhat remote, the sheer scale of the entire complex is in no way inferior to that of the Heavenly Palace!
"Just someone who's good at making friends?"

Lin Yi's eyes were strange.

From his perspective, his ambition is already quite obvious, just by looking at the grand plan of Cloud Peak Manor.

This only piqued his curiosity even more.

Who exactly is this last gourmet of Tianjun?
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a middle-aged man with a broad build and a benevolent face, accompanied by a group of attendants, lined up at the entrance to greet me.

At first glance, it does resemble the smiling Maitreya Buddha, making people feel friendly without realizing it.

"I have long heard of the Emperor of the End, and seeing him today, I can attest to his divine presence; he is truly awe-inspiring!"

The other party smiled and introduced himself: "I am Fang Taichu, a humble countryman. It is an honor to have the Great Emperor of the End grace us with his presence today!"

Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "I've heard so much about you."

To be fair, Lu Bukui was right about one thing: the man in front of him was indeed adept at social maneuvering and making friends.

A few simple words of greeting were enough to bring them closer.

Even Lin Yi unconsciously relaxed, as if meeting an old friend, without any of the awkwardness or wariness of a first meeting.

However, the more this is the case, the more careful and vigilant we need to be.

Although the other party was extremely well disguised, Lin Yi still managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of disappointment through the world's will's dimensional perception.

Lin Yi could understand.

From their perspective, the person they truly wanted to befriend was the powerful, four-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect expert behind the End Society, who was capable of suppressing the Emperor Saint, not the so-called End Emperor who was merely a figurehead.

But since he had come, the other party couldn't very well turn him away.

Otherwise, it's not about making friends, it's about making enemies.

The banquet had been prepared in advance, and Fang Taichu warmly invited Lin Yi to take a seat.

As the last gourmet of Tianjun, his influence in the culinary field alone is almost comparable to that of the Sage of Cookery.

Since they had taken the initiative to host a banquet for Lin Yi, the menu would certainly not be meager.

The table was laden with over twenty dishes, all of them top-tier delicacies. This scene truly broadened Lin Yi's horizons.

To be honest, ever since Gan Niannian created her own metaphysical cuisine, Lin Yi has long been accustomed to all sorts of new and exciting delicacies.

But this scene is incredibly impactful no matter where it is.

Lin Yi understood in an instant.

Why do powerful figures from various prominent families become each other's honored guests?

No one could resist such a feast.

After all, even for top-tier families, it would be very difficult to put on such a show.

"These are just some simple home-cooked dishes that I made myself. Please excuse their poor presentation."

Fang Taichu gave him a single glance.

Two stunningly beautiful women who had been waiting nearby immediately flanked Lin Yi, their eyes full of attentiveness as they served him the meal with utmost care.

Lin Yi looked at him strangely: "This is considered a simple home-cooked dish?"

Fang Taichu smiled and said, "I have long heard of Miss Gan's reputation as a culinary master. Unfortunately, I was away the other day and missed a great show. If it is convenient, you might as well invite Miss Gan to come next time and give me your opinion."

So this person's real target was Gan Niannian?
Lin Yi was suspicious, but outwardly he readily agreed.

Fang Taichu was very tactful; he only briefly mentioned Gan Niannian's matter and never brought it up again.

Not only that, but other sensitive matters were not mentioned at all.

The entire conversation revolved around food experiences and various interesting anecdotes.

The key is that this person expresses himself in a humorous and unique way. The same things that others would find uninteresting, but when he says them, they always become witty and memorable.

The private banquet was a great success, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Over the years, Lin Yi has seen all sorts of people, including many with extraordinary talents, but none of them have ever made him feel so warm and comfortable as Fang Taichu.

If it's just for casual entertainment, as a drinking buddy, this person is an absolute gem.

For the first time, the phrase "skilled in social maneuvering" was given a concrete manifestation in Lin Yi's case.

Although the other party was a middle-aged man who had gained weight.

Finally, Fang Taichu brought up the matter of forcibly breaking the Dharma Image.
