Chapter 65: King of Acting—Demon King of Wisdom

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After hearing what the Demon King of Wickedness said, the other Demon Kings all felt a chill run through their hearts.

Yeah, only the Demon Emperor and six Demon Kings knew about the plan. How did these cultivators know about it?

Unless… there was a traitor amongst them!

The four Demon Kings looked at each other.

Finally, their gazes all shifted toward the Demon King of Wisdom.

The Demon King of Wisdom felt a chill. "Why are you all looking at me?"

The Demon King of Wrath sneered, "Before this operation, the five of us Demon Kings were always beside the Demon Emperor. You were the only one who went out to 'lay the bait'. Only you had the chance to disclose information to the enemy!"

With his eyes bulging, the Demon King of Agony roared, "Wisdom, do you have anything else to say?!"

"You guys are actually suspicious of me?! I accomplished that mission perfectly. I didn't let the Demon Emperor down at all. I've done nothing to be ashamed of!" the Demon King of Wisdom yelled furiously.

He had been forthright his entire life. Who would have thought that the other Demon Kings would be suspicious of him? How could he swallow this?

The cultivators sensed that there was discord between the Demon Kings, so they weren't in a rush to attack.

An Lin heard their conversation and his eyes lit up. "This has got nothing to do with the Demon King of Wisdom. Your plan was revealed to us by another unknown Demon King!" he said loudly.

The Demon King of Wisdom was overjoyed upon hearing this. He couldn't believe that the cultivator would actually speak for him. "See, even the cultivator says so. How can I be to blame?" he said emotionally.

However, contrary to his expectations, the other three Demon Kings' expressions became even darker.

In fact, they were already exuding a murderous intent!

"Even human cultivators are speaking for you. The relationship between you guys must be quite good…"

The Demon King of Wickedness smiled without emotion. Bursts of black aura were already emanating from his huge sword.

A surging killing intent also started to emanate from the two other Demon Kings. Clearly, they were about to strike.

However, their target was not the human cultivators, it was the Demon King of Wisdom…

The Demon King of Wisdom teared up, feeling that he had been screwed over. He had no way of explaining himself.

Then, putting on an expression as if they had been exposed, Tian Lingling exclaimed, "Uncle Wisdom, since we've already been exposed, why are you still acting? Hurry and help us defeat the other three Demon Kings. Don't worry, they won't be able to escape!"

Hearing this, the Demon King of Wisdom felt a knot form in his chest. It was as if he had been trampled over by ten-thousand mythological beasts.

Acting? F*ck your acting!

And what's with Uncle Wisdom?

Holy f*ck! If you act all friendly with me, I'm going to be killed!

"Very well, Demon King of Wisdom… your acting was quite good. Even now you still have a look of innocence. Your expressions are on point," the Demon King of Wickedness chuckled and raised his sword.

"We underestimated you. Who knew that you hid yourself so well…" The blood skull that the Demon King of Agony was holding emitted a startling red glow.

"I have to admit that your acting skills are very good. All three of us were fooled by you!" The black demonic claws of the Demon King of Wrath crackled as they started accumulating energy.

The Demon King of Wisdom wanted to cry.

He never would've thought that in the eyes of others, the pinnacle of his acting would be at this moment…

"I swear that if I, the Demon King of Wisdom, am a traitor, then I'll be struck by lightning!"

The Demon King of Wisdom went all out. There was no other way that he could prove himself, so he could only prove himself by making such an oath.

Boom!

A blue thunderbolt descended and struck the Demon King of Wisdom, charring him black.

…

"Holy f*ck!"

This time, not only were the demons shocked, even the human cultivators were frozen still.

Holy sh*t, he really got struck by lightning?!

Even Tian Lingling, who had dug the Demon King of Wisdom into a hole, widened her eyes in surprise and was unable to recover from the shock.

The Demon King of Wisdom was charred black and wisps of black smoke wafted from his mouth. He only wanted to say one thing, F*ck the Heavens!

Of course, this lightning didn't appear from nowhere.

This was a move which An Lin had been preparing for a long time using his Lightning Manipulation Technique, and it was the ace up his sleeve. He didn't expect for it to come in handy here…

The Thunder Essence Cultivation Method was a method based off of the fundamental essence of lightning. How could the techniques derived from it be simple?

Not only could this Lightning Manipulation Technique be hidden from cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and draw upon the lightning silently, but it could even continue to accumulate energy.

Of course, the strike just then was a fully powered up Lightning Manipulation Technique.

The Demon King of Wisdom was very strong and was only slightly injured by the lightning strike. The effect of the strike wasn't too obvious.

However, the ensuing effect was very obvious…

"If I said that this was a coincidence, would you guys believe me?" the Demon King of Wisdom asked, his whole body trembling.

F*ck, he was struck by lightning right after he made the oath. He felt like he was about to go crazy!

The Demon King of Wickedness looked toward the sky. "Only the Demon Emperor can suddenly cast such lightning without us becoming aware! He has already given us a signal… Wisdom, die!"

The Demon King of Wisdom wanted to talk, yet the sword of the Demon King of Wickedness was already flying toward him, the bloody skull of the Demon King of Agony was already biting toward him, and the black demonic claws of the Demon King of Wrath were already grabbing toward him.

Immediately, the Demon King of Wisdom became caught in a desperate situation!

At this time, An Lin yelled loudly, "Let's go! Brother Wisdom is in danger!"

The human cultivators were very cooperative and they all drew their weapons. "Kill! Protect Brother Wisdom!"

They started to charge toward the demons.

The Demon King of Wisdom almost got a heart attack. He really wanted to cry.

Brother Wisdom? Who the f*ck is your brother?!

These f*cking human cultivators are all Oscar actors!

Is it okay if I award each of you a little golden person? I beg you, please just let me go!

The three Demon Kings realized that the human cultivators really did start fighting in order to protect the Demon King of Wisdom. They gnashed their teeth in rage and started to use their most powerful moves!

No matter what, they had to kill this Demon King of Wisdom as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to soothe the fury in their hearts!

They could lose this battle, but the traitor had to die!

"Dull Flame Demonic Slash!" Raging black flames surged from the Demon King of Wickedness' sword, and they destroyed the defensive spells of the Demon King of Wisdom.

"Pwah!"

The Demon King of Wisdom spat out blood and flew backward. Then, he saw a huge bloody skull ten feet in size biting toward him.

"Crimson Eyes Divine Spell!" A crimson light shot out from the Demon King of Wisdom's crimson eyes, driving back the bloody skull.

Right at this moment, the Demon King of Wrath had already shifted behind the Demon King of Wisdom. Like sharp swords, his demonic claws stabbed into the Demon King of Wisdom's back.

"Die you traitor!"

The Demon King of Wrath roared and his hands tore outwards!

Rip!

Just like that, the Demon King of Wisdom's body was ripped into two!

Black blood sprayed into the sky, appearing as desolate as his miserable life.

The Demon King of Wrath had finally fulfilled the achievement of ripping a Demon King to shreds.

Seeing that the traitor had been killed, the Demon Kings finally felt appeased. They felt a lot more at ease and some of them even started laughing.

Being 'one step too late' in coming to Brother Wisdom's aid and having to witness his tragic death, The Savior and the other Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators beat their chest in sorrow and stamped their feet in regret.

The Demon King of Wisdom, the King of Acting, has fallen!

His fellow actors were overcome with grief, and their eyes became bloodshot as they battled feverishly.

This great battle continued on!

Chapter 66: Sword Immortal An Lin

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In regards to an actor or actress' self-mastery, what they needed was self-conviction and a belief that they could see a performance out to its end.

That's right, Brother Wisdom had died…

Now, the human cultivators were going to take revenge for him!

The human cultivators fought with even more vigor now, and the demon cultivators retreated in fright.

"Wickedness, what should we do?!" the Demon King of Wrath asked anxiously.

The Demon King of Wickedness quickly surveyed the battle situation and decided promptly, "Because a traitor has appeared amongst our ranks, our side has been weakened and theirs has strengthened. If we continue to fight, we'll definitely be wiped out. Retreat!"

After saying this, the Demon King of Wickedness became a streak of light as he fled into the distance. The other two Demon Kings followed suit.

However, the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators were already prepared for this. How could they let the Demon Kings escape?

Xuanyuan Cheng instantly shot up riding his sword and blocked the Demon King of Wickedness' path.

He already had high mastery in the Hundred-Spirit Taichi, and his sword projections formed a net which obstructed the Demon King of Wickedness' path.

Want to escape? No way!

Xuanyuan Cheng's Taichi Sword Net was completely airtight.

Want to attack? No way!

Xuanyuan Cheng's defense was even more freakishly strong. If one didn't possess a strength of at least Wang Xuanzhan's level, they wouldn't even have a chance of hurting him!

Just like that, the Demon King of Wickedness became caught up with a pesky individual. He became so furious that he felt like he was about to explode.

The Demon King of Wrath was in a similarly dire situation, having been blocked by The Savior.

The Savior was clearly a fatso, yet he was alarmingly quick. He even had a lightsaber in his hand which was both extendable and retractable. This lightsaber was extremely powerful and could even wound the Demon King of Wrath's black demonic claws.

As for the Demon King of Agony… he was naturally the most pitiful of them all.

Cloud Exploring Daoist was a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage and he was especially skilled with binding techniques. Partnered with Green River Sword Immortal who specialized in slaughter…

What could the Demon King of Agony do? He was in agony too, and he felt a deep sense of despair!

"Cloud Exploring Daoist's Cloud and Mist Binding Technique is not only a binding technique but also an attacking one. Presumably, the Demon King of Agony is about to be defeated!" Huang Shanshan reasoned.

"The lightsaber that The Savior is wielding is a piece of high-tech equipment he stole from America, right? After merging with his own power, it can actually wound the Demon King of Wrath's Bloodline Demonic Hands. So powerful!" Tian Lingling was astonished.

An Lin was speechless upon seeing that the two bludgers were once again standing on the sidelines cheering.

However, their assistance wasn't required in the current battle anyway.

Although there were still over twenty demon cultivators, their cultivation bases varied, with some being strong and others weak.

On the other hand, the ten reinforcements that he recruited were all powerful individuals of the Tenth Stage Dao Body. Why would they need to be afraid of the demons?

Just like that, the twenty or so demons were surrounded by the ten powerful human cultivators and had no chance of escaping.

Some of the demon cultivators became so anxious to escape that they raised their swords and charged toward An Lin and the others.

Just as An Lin was about to react, he saw Huang Shanshan draw a large silver pistol.

Bam! A blue bullet whistled out from the gun.

The demon cultivator had an insane reaction speed and was surprisingly able to tilt aside its head instantly and dodge the bullet.

Just as the bullet scraped past the demon cultivator's head…

Boom! It exploded!

Exploding together with it was the enemy's head…

An Lin's mouth hung open as he stared dazedly at the body in front of him. He was so astonished that he was left speechless.

Was that a f*cking bullet or a bomb?!

There was a look of disdain on Huang Shanshan's face as she blew away the smoke rising from the gun barrel. "How can my vital energy bullet be so easy to dodge?"

Okay! An Lin rewarded full marks for this flex!

As expected, using bullets as bombs was the style of members of the Special Operations Department.

Never look down on bludgers! It's hard to say whether they might suddenly give you a surprise at some point in time!

Seeing that out of the twenty or so demon cultivators, only ten or so remained, and that the human cultivators only suffered minor injuries at most, An Lin felt no pressure anymore and retrieved a golden glazed sword from his storage ring.

"Huh? What are you doing Fake Daoist Priest?" Tian Lingling asked curiously upon seeing An Lin's action.

An Lin turned around, holding his sword behind him with a carefree and confident demeanor. "Heh, from now on, please refer to me as Sword Immortal An Lin!"

Tian Lingling: "…"

An Lin didn't say anything else. Instead, he raised his sword and with the posture of a Sword Immortal, rushed into the battle!

"Demon, taste my Annihilation Blade!" An Lin roared and slashed his golden glazed sword.

The demon before him only had a rank of Sixth Stage Dao Body and was evidently unable to stand his attack. The demon's abdomen was sliced open by An Lin, and it collapsed to the ground.

After defeating the enemy with one strike, An Lin turned around in a carefree and confident demeanor and continued to look for enemies.

This time, he picked out a demon of the Eighth Stage Dao Body.

"Demon, have a taste of my Heaven Shattering Demonic Dragon Slash!"

An Lin leaped into the air as he roared, and he slashed toward the top of the demon's head.

The demon was terrified by the name of this strike, and it instantly started retreating.

Heaven Shattering Demonic Dragon Slash, just this name was super impressive!

Boom! Sure enough, a ditch was ripped into the earth, causing the retreating demon to feel even more terrified.

What the demon didn't know was that An Lin was just randomly brandishing his sword around.

Heaven Shattering Demonic Dragon Slash?

What a joke, that was just a nonsensical name that he came up with.

An Lin had never learnt any sword techniques before!

Every time he saw Xuanyuan Cheng's graceful sword-wielding figure, and every time he saw Xu Xiaolan's beautiful sword-wielding figure, he would feel a burst of envy.

What was his battle style though… using fists? Wielding bricks? Bah!

He felt that he really needed to change his image a bit.

Thus, he picked up his golden glazed sword and set off upon his Sword Immortal journey of beating up weaklings.

What disappointed him slightly though, was the fact that the two bludgers didn't cheer him on. It appeared as if they were scornful of his swordsmanship, as they turned their attention elsewhere after glancing at him for just a moment.

"Humph! Do you think that this is all I've got?"

An Lin sneered, and arcs of lightning started flashing across his fingertips.

Lightning Manipulation Technique!

This was a technique which could draw lightning from the air and converge it upon the top of one's fingers. This lightning could then be channeled into the sword.

In an instant, the golden glazed sword was crackling with lightning and a powerful might exuded from it.

"Heavenly Lightning Slash!"

An Lin roared loudly, and his sword cackled with electricity as it cut toward the demon before him.

The demon tried to parry, yet its sword was shattered. Furthermore, the devastating power of the lightning fried it crispy and tender, and it collapsed to the floor immediately.

"Ah! Fake Daoist Priest actually knows how to use sword techniques?" Tian Lingling was fascinated by the lightning and there was a look of astonishment on her delicate face.

"So what? His movements are still extremely uncouth." Huang Shanshan glanced over fleetingly, then looked away again.

An Lin wasn't far from them, and upon hearing their comments, felt a knot form in his chest.

Right at this moment, a white-clothed female slowly walked over.

Her beauty was natural and holding a pipa in her arms, she appeared beautiful and tranquil.

"Daoist An Lin, it seems that you really enjoy using the sword?"

Her voice was especially pleasant and mesmerizing.

An Lin looked over and found that it was Dreamy Voice Fairy—one of the reinforcements he recruited—who had come over. "Yeah, my aim is to become a Legendary Sword Immortal!" An Lin replied merrily.

He was feeling extremely cheerful as he said this.

See, his swordsmanship wasn't that bad after all…

Would you look, didn't someone just get drawn over by his swordsmanship?

Hearing his reply, Dreamy Voice Fairy smiled faintly and fished out a rare text. "Daoist An Lin, this is Mt. Wei Sword Sect's 'Complete Collection of Sword Technique Basics'. I can give it to you for five spirit stones, do you want it?" she asked softly.

An Lin stared dazedly at the book in front of him. He winced, and a string of curses raced through his mind.

Say, she was actually drawn over here by my clumsy swordsmanship?!

An Lin's heart throbbed in pain.

He saw the expectant glint in her eyes, and he saw the large glittering title on the book…

Finally, he said through gritted teeth, "Done deal!"

Chapter 67: The Demon Kings' Pitiful End

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With a complicated feeling, An Lin fished out five spirit stones and put the 'Complete Collection of Sword Technique Basics' in his storage ring.

He had to admit, this book really was suitable for him! It helped resolve one of his most pressing problems!

Boom! There was a loud rumble in the skies and An Lin raised his head to look over.

There, he saw that the bloody skull was crushed by Cloud Exploring Daoist.

The Demon King of Agony's magic treasure was linked together with his own vitality. Thus, once the magic treasure was destroyed, he also spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Green River Sword Immortal seized this opportunity and the sky was instantly permeated by a soaring sword intent. A devastating sword projection was thrust out from the sword, and it was like a river which hung from the skies, vast in size and turbulent in nature.

"No!" An expression of despair appeared on the Demon King of Agony's face. Looking at the fearsome sword projection, he found that he couldn't come up with any way to block it.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon King of Agony's body was swallowed up by the sword projection, and just like that, he perished.

…

The Demon King of Agony's death caused the other two Demon Kings to turn pale with fright. Once Cloud Exploring Daoist and Green River Sword Immortal joined their battle, how could they survive?

Just like that, the two remaining Demon Kings started to fight with all their might.

The Demon King of Wrath used a life-consuming mystical technique which allowed him to become more powerful for a short period of time. His two demonic claws also became larger than humans, appearing especially sinister.

He was insanely quick, and like a ferocious beast, pounced toward The Savior.

The Savior slashed his lightsaber toward the Demon King of Wrath and unexpectedly, he didn't dodge. Rather, the Demon King of Wrath swiped toward him with his demonic claw.

The lightsaber which had undergone magical modifications was very powerful, and the Demon King of Wrath's demonic claw was ripped into two. However, a bad feeling arose in The Savior's mind.

The Demon King of Wrath's other claw was already before him, and he was barely able to block it with his sword.

Boom!

The Savior was sent flying by this swipe.

A massive force tore at his body and eventually, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Demon King of Wrath didn't chase after him. Instead, he fled with all that he had.

Cloud Exploring Daoist and Green River Sword Immortal saw this and instantly gave chase.

As for Xuanyuan Cheng's battle, they found that he didn't need their help at all, so they stopped worrying about him.

…

The Demon King of Wickedness felt like he was about to go mad.

He had used a mystical technique to raise his cultivation base and tried to flee with all his might. However, he was still effortlessly held up by Xuanyuan Cheng.

Just a moment ago, he was still rejoicing from the fact that it was merely a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage who had come to block him, and the fact that his chances of escaping were still very great.

However, he had now realized that it was this f*cking cultivator who was the strongest of them all!

After using his mystical technique, the Demon King of Wickedness believed that he was even stronger than ordinary cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage. However, he didn't have an ounce of advantage over Xuanyuan Cheng.

Every time Xuanyuan Cheng blocked his attack, he would be able to leave a gash on his body. However, there was no killing intent in his counterattacks and his intention was very evident. Not only did this person want to block him, but he also wanted to capture him alive!

In normal battles, capturing someone alive was much harder than killing them.

This was because killing someone would only require one to fight with all their strength as if their life depended on it. However, capturing someone alive would require one to fight with great skill and also require them to carefully control their power.

Even in his dreams the Demon King of Wickedness would never have foreseen that there would be a day when he was captured alive by a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage.

Whoosh!

Within the sword-net, there was a flash of white.

The Demon King of Wickedness was once again forced to retreat by the sword intent, and another cut appeared across his chest.

He was already covered in wounds and black blood was smeared over his entire body.

Xuanyuan Cheng was as spotless as before, and his white robes still fluttered about.

"This is already the thirty-fifth time, do you still want to continue?" Xuanyuan Cheng spoke indifferently as he looked at the thirty-five wounds on the Demon King of Wickedness.

"I'll f*cking slaughter you!" The Demon King of Wickedness was furious. A black sword projection rushed forth from his gigantic sword as he slashed toward Xuanyuan Cheng.

A sword projection also slashed out from Xuanyuan Cheng's sword, and the two sword projections collided loudly in mid-air. Energy surged out from the collision and formed a hurricane, uprooting all the nearby trees.

Before the Demon King of Wickedness could even launch a second attack, a sword flashed before him and once again slashed into his body, causing his blood to spurt out.

"This is the thirty-sixth time," Xuanyuan Cheng said calmly.

Demon King of Wickedness: "…"

Meanwhile, on another side of the battle, the Demon King of Wrath had already fled almost ten kilometers after using a mystical technique to raise his cultivation base.

However, the people giving chase behind him were drawing closer and closer.

"Heh, trying to compete with this old man's speed? You're still too young!" Cloud Exploring Daoist stroked his white beard and a mocking look appeared on his face.

He trod upon the white clouds and traveled at such speeds that he broke through the sound barrier, leaving a sonic boom behind him.

Cloud Exploring Daoist—who practiced The Way of the Clouds and Mists—could fully utilize the surrounding atmosphere, allowing him to be far quicker than cultivators with the same rank as him.

Given that the Demon King of Wrath had an inferior rank compared to him, how could he escape from his palms?

"Stop!" Cloud Exploring Daoist grabbed at the air and the clouds and mists swarmed about. A gigantic hand composed of clouds and mists appeared before the Demon King of Wrath and, possessing an earth-shattering power, it swatted toward him.

The Demon King of Wrath couldn't slow down, as once he did so, he would have no chance of escape.

Thus, he could only extend his black demonic claw outwards and try to rip through the gigantic hand.

Boom! The energy contained within the massive hand erupted outwards, swatting the Demon King of Wrath so hard that he almost spit out blood.

He had underestimated the might of that hand. The power it possessed easily broke through his defensive spells and smashed into his body.

At this moment, Cloud Exploring Daoist had already caught up to him.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the Demon King of Wrath's eyes became bloodshot. "I'll f*ck you up!"

A mighty aura erupted from his body and like a cannonball, he rocketed toward Cloud Exploring Daoist, his powerful demonic claw grabbing at his chest.

Cloud Exploring Daoist furrowed his brows. "Pervert! Where do you think you're grabbing toward?"

After yelling this, he performed the Cloud and Mists Eighteen Palms, and a cloudy white palm struck toward the Demon King of Wrath with great power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Demon King of Wrath was once again forced into a retreat. The misty aura stuck to him like glue and seeped into his body, eating away at his power.

He was extremely distressed. Forget about being chased and beaten, he was actually scolded as a pervert… Since when had he acted lewdly?

He was unable to swallow this. With a shout, he once again swiped his demonic claw toward Cloud Exploring Daoist's chest!

Cloud Exploring Daoist became furious once again. "Pervert! You're still grabbing toward here?!"

Boom! The Demon King of Wrath once again spat out blood as he was hit by the white cloud slash.

This was Cloud Exploring Daoist's strongest strike. Not only was it damaging, but it could also suck away the target's vital energy. After being beaten back, the Demon King of Wrath suddenly felt exhausted.

Green River Sword Immortal arrived right at this moment, grabbing this opportunity to launch a powerful attack on the Demon King.

A green sword projection cut through the air and instantly sliced the Demon King of Wrath into two!

With his sword strapped behind his back, Green River Sword Immortal stood facing the wind, a triumphant smile emerging on his handsome face.

He had always been good at seizing opportunities to slay enemies.

…

The battle between Xuanyuan Cheng and the Demon King of Wickedness was also drawing to an end.

Gashes covered the Demon King of Wickedness' body and his aura was extremely weak. Evidently, he had already been severely injured by Xuanyuan Cheng and no longer had any chance of escape.

A look of despair appeared on his face and eventually, he raised his sword to his neck.

"I won't allow you to capture me alive, even if that means I have to die!"

Saying this, he tried to take his own life.

However, numerous white seals appeared on his wounds at this moment, shackling his entire body.

This confinement was especially strong, and it was able to last indefinitely, meaning that it would not weaken or disappear with the passing of time.

Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head at the Demon King of Wickedness. "I'm sorry, you don't have the right to choose death.

"I used the Divine Death Lock Sword Technique on you.

"The more sword wounds you have, the stronger the power of the seals. You've already been cut forty-nine times by me. Even a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage wouldn't be able to break free from these shackles!"

Saying this, Xuanyuan Cheng smiled confidently and continued, "So, congratulations Demon King of Wickedness, you've been captured alive!"

Chapter 68: One-Hundred-and-Eight Ways of Interrogation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The demon cultivators on the ground were exterminated in no time.

Amongst the four Demon Kings, one died from injustice, two died miserable deaths, and one was captured alive.

Although quite a lot of human cultivators were injured as well, there were no deaths.

This could be said to be pretty exceptional.

The human cultivators obtained a sweeping victory in this battle!

"Brother Wisdom! We've finally revenged your death!" Tian Lingling rejoiced.

She was completely absorbed in the act and was unable to stop herself.

Hearing this, the cultivators smiled knowingly.

They had to admit, they took great pleasure in their theatrics, and the Demon King of Wisdom was the most pitiable character in their act.

"Daoist An, next time I go to America I'll steal an Oscar for you. I'll just steal you DiCaprio's Best Actor Oscar!" The Savior chuckled as he patted An Lin's shoulder. The Savior always went to America to steal things.

As they all knew, the one who screwed the Demon King of Wisdom over was none other than the harmless looking An Lin.

If it wasn't for his quick-witted acting causing the enemy to lose one of their strongest individuals, they definitely wouldn't have been able to end this battle so swiftly and effortlessly.

To this, even the eccentric Tian Lingling expressed heartfelt admiration.

However, she still requested for The Savior to steal her a Best Actress Oscar. At any rate, she had contributed greatly to this performance!

A lot of cultivators milled around An Lin, praising and complimenting him effusively. It was almost as if they wished to bestow upon him the title 'King of Film'.

He was a bit embarrassed by this attention and could only scratch his head and thank them modestly.

Xu Xiaolan had witnessed An Lin act in such devilish manners before, so she wasn't a tiny bit surprised to see him screw over others in such a way. Rather, she looked at the Demon King of Wickedness in interest.

Although the Demon King of Wickedness was unable to move, his ears were not deaf!

Hearing their discussions… as long as he wasn't an idiot, how could he not understand what had happened?

Sure enough, upon hearing their discussions, the Demon King of Wickedness' eyes bulged, and he almost fainted from anger.

So that was all just an act!

Only that the actor wasn't the Demon King of Wisdom, rather it was these cultivators!

Heavens! What on earth did I do to the Demon King of Wisdom?!

Don't they say that being sinister and ruthless are traits unique to Demon Kings? How come this group of cultivators was even more sinister than us? How did it turn out that we were the ones who became the victims?

The Demon King of Wickedness felt a throbbing pain in his heart and experienced tightness in his chest. For the first time, he started questioning his life as a demon.

As a Demon King, being screwed over by human cultivators made him feel so ashamed that he wanted to die!

However, even the right to seek death was taken away from him by the human cultivators…

After the human cultivators finished their discussion, they once again focused their attention on the Demon King of Wickedness.

Now, it was finally time to start the interrogation!

Xuanyuan Cheng partially removed the restrictions on the Demon King of Wickedness, removing just enough for him to be able to speak.

"You bastards killed the Demon King of Wisdom! You're all despicable and shameless! Don't you people have any sense of shame?!" Once the restrictions were loosened, the Demon King of Wickedness let loose a torrent of abuse.

"Hmm? Wasn't Brother Wisdom killed by you guys? Why are you blaming us?" A look of confusion spread across Tian Lingling's pretty face and her lips curled up in discontent.

When the Demon King of Wickedness heard this, his blood churned, and he became so furious that blood started seeping from the corner of his mouth…

What the f*ck!

You're still brazen enough to call the Demon King of Wisdom 'Brother Wisdom'?! This cultivator is so shameless!

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Let's get down to business." An Lin waved his hands and looked sympathetically toward the Demon King of Wickedness.

The cultivators all nodded in agreement. What was most important now was to make heads or tails of the situation.

Looking at the Demon King of Wickedness, Cloud Exploring Daoist asked, "Why did you demons lay a trap and attempt to kill human cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage? What's your aim?"

The Demon King of Wickedness smiled sinisterly. "Even if I die, I won't tell you the reason. I curse you all to sink eternally into the demonic realm and suffer the agony of being cut by a thousand blades! I curse you all to have your souls be burnt by wicked flames for hundreds of millions of years and never be able to free yourself! I curse you all to…"

The Demon King of Wickedness babbled out a string of curses yet refused to reveal a single detail regarding their actions, regardless of what was said.

"It looks like we can't do without some torture…" An Lin shook his head and asked the dozen or so cultivators next to him, "Which of you wants to go first?"

There was a murderous glint in the Demon King's eyes. "Come at me with all you've got! What type of pain haven't I suffered before? Even if you cut me ten thousand times, you won't get an ounce of information from me!"

The Savior was the first to speak. "Let me try!"

Saying this, he fished out a syringe from his pocket. "This is a pain increasing drug which I stole from Aimeihua's most advanced biology laboratory. Once this drug is injected, the pain receptors all over the body will become extremely sensitive. Moreover, the victim will experience an agony like that of ten thousand ants biting at their heart!"

The cultivators all winced upon hearing this. Aimeihua was a top biological firm which had close ties with the American army…

How much stuff did this guy steal from America?!

"Also, I've modified this drug using my pill refinement techniques. Ordinary cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage won't be able to neutralize the effects of this drug through the natural power of their bodies!"

An evil smile appeared on The Savior's chubby face. Then, he raised the syringe and injected the drug straight into the Demon King of Wickedness' artery!

A short moment later, the Demon King of Wickedness started screaming in extreme agony. The pain of tens of thousands of ants biting at his heart was magnified immensely by the sensitive pain receptors. This kind of agony was absolutely terrifying!

"How's that feel? Are you going to speak or not?" The Savior glanced at the Demon King of Wickedness and spoke in an indifferent voice.

"No! It's useless even if you magnify the pain one hundred times more!" the Demon King of Wickedness roared.

The fatty frowned slightly at this. This was his most threatening method already.

If he increased the effects of the drug anymore, he would overload the Demon King of Wickedness' pain receptors and make them go numb. Instead of helping, that would instead hinder the interrogation.

Right at this moment, Xu Xiaolan stepped forward, a Divine Phoenix Flame dancing on her fingertips. "Let me try."

Saying this, the Divine Phoenix Flame burnt into the Demon King's body.

"Ow!" The Demon King of Wickedness cried out in pain.

He felt as if he were amidst a boundless plain of flames and his body was continuously being burned. Not only did the flames lick at every inch of his skin, even his insides felt like they were being roasted, causing him intense suffering.

"Are you going to speak or not?" Xu Xiaolan stared intensely at the Demon King of Wickedness with her clear eyes.

"No! Even if you magnify your flames one hundred times more, I still won't speak!" the Demon King resisted stubbornly.

Xu Xiaolan shook her head. "I can't magnify it one-hundred fold, but I can magnify it twofold…"

"Ah!!" Even more agonized screams of the Demon King reverberated through the Heaven and Earth.

A feeling of despair gripped at his heart. This feeling of pain could actually be increased twofold…

However, he still wouldn't speak!

Xu Xiaolan was out of ideas. Afterward, Cloud Exploring Daoist started his interrogation.

Not only did his Cloud Lashing Spell target the physical body, but it could also agitate the vital energy within the Demon King's body and further increase the pain that he felt.

Time after time the Demon King of Wickedness screamed in agony. However, he still just grit his teeth and endured through the torture.

Afterward, Dreamy Voice Fairy used her Voice of Calamity to target his auditory senses and soul…

Time after time the Demon King of Wickedness screamed in agony. However, he still just grit his teeth and endured through the torture.

Afterward, Crack Shot Clairvoyant used his Copper Coin Acupuncture Technique, targeting the vital points on the Demon King's body in order to torment him…

Time after time the Demon King of Wickedness screamed in agony. However, he still just grit his teeth and endured through the torture.

Afterward, Xuanyuan Cheng, Green River Sword Immortal, and the others all used various types of techniques and spells, coming up with countless types of interrogation methods…

Time after time the Demon King of Wickedness screamed in agony. His teeth had already been gritted to pieces and tears were streaming down his face. However, he still hadn't uttered a single word about their plans.

The Demon King of Wickedness felt very regretful and his eyes were full of despair. He felt as if he were amidst an abyss of suffering and misery.

How good would it have been if he had chosen to die earlier…

A moment ago, he was still very sympathetic toward the Demon King of Wisdom, feeling that he had died a wretched death.

However, he had now realized that out of the four Demon Kings, the fate that he met was the most f*cking brutal!

He could experience all kinds of the most horrific torture techniques here, whether those that he could imagine or those that he could not.

If he was a masochist, he would definitely die from pleasure here!

Even An Lin was starting to become impressed by the Demon King of Wickedness' willpower.

Every single one of the one-hundred-and-eight interrogation methods had been employed. Yet, they were still unable to pry any information from the Demon King.

The human cultivators kept tormenting the Demon King, so much so that they almost became sadists themselves. The Demon King of Wickedness still remained tight-lipped though and didn't utter a single word.

…

After a long time, the dozen or so cultivators stood watching the Demon King in admiration. The Demon King was kneeling on the floor, his hair disheveled and his body riddled with wounds.

There was a blank and lifeless expression on the male's face, and he kept on repeating, "I won't speak, I won't speak, I won't speak…"

This appearance… was clearly that of someone who had been tortured into a state of delirium.

An Lin's outlook on the world was completely washed anew.

He wouldn't need to take doses of immortal pills anymore, all he needed was doses of the Demon King of Wickedness!

Just as all the cultivators had given up, a bright red flower poked out from An Lin's pocket.

"That, um… Master, why don't you let me try?" it said sweetly.

Chapter 69: Great Bewitching Technique!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing this voice, all the cultivators looked toward An Lin's pocket.

"Daoist An Lin, you're actually hiding a mistress!" The Savior exclaimed in surprise.

An Lin: "…"

Dreamy Voice Fairy also exclaimed in surprise. "That's besides the point! The key point is that this flower just said it wanted to try as well. Could it be that it has a good idea?"

"What do you mean besides the point? That's absolutely untrue anyways!" An Lin retorted loudly.

No one took heed of his retort, and the cultivators all looked toward the bright red flower with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Just as the cultivators planned on giving up with the interrogation, Xiao Hong spoke up. This undoubtedly reignited the hope in their hearts.

Xiao Hong was a bit embarrassed by all the attention, and it shrunk back into the pocket a little. "I can't guarantee that I'll succeed. There's only one method and we might be able to give it a go," she said quietly.

An Lin fished Xiao Hong out and placed her on his palm. "No worries, tell us about your method first!" he said eagerly.

Being exposed in front of everyone, Xiao Hong's face flushed red… even though her face was already red.

"M-hm, it's like this. As I'm about to form my spirit core and undergo a transformation, a magical ability awoke inside of me recently," Xiao Hong said timidly.

An Lin's eyes lit up. "What magical ability?"

"My magical ability is very powerful. It's called Great Bewitching Technique"

…

The Savior was extremely startled. "Good Heavens! An Lin, what did you do to this flower spirit? Why would such a magical ability awaken inside of a normal flower spirit… You… you even laid your hands upon a flower?!"

Dreamy Voice Fairy was also startled, "That's besides the point! The key point is that this flower plans to seduce the Demon King of Wickedness!"

An Lin almost cried upon hearing their remarks. "What do you mean besides the point? That's absolutely untrue anyways! I didn't do anything to the flower spirit!"

Xiao Hong nodded emphatically and tried to clear things up for An Lin. "That's right, you guys are overthinking things. Master treats me the best, and the thing I love most is Master's warm embrace!"

Hearing this, the cultivators all had a strange look in their eyes as they gazed at An Lin. It was as if they were saying: You hug a flower all day long, are you retarded or what?

After hearing Xiao Hong's frightening utterances, tears welled up in An Lin's eyes…

Why does this spirit pet keep screwing me over?

Xiao Hong had only wanted to beautify the relationship between herself and her master yet realized that the cultivators seemed to misunderstand her master even more. This caused droplets of water to involuntarily form on her small head.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Cheng spoke and diverted everyone's attention. "Xiao Hong, are you going to use your Great Bewitching Technique on the Demon King? What are the specific effects?"

"Um, if I use my Great Bewitching Technique on the Demon King of Wickedness, I can stir up his lust and make him feel an unstoppable urge. I'll prevent him from getting what he wants when his lust awakens, then I'll stimulate his mind and cravings. Then, I'll make him listen to whatever I say!" Xiao Hong said sweetly.

Xuanyuan Cheng stroked his chin lightly. "So, put simply… it's like having a bunch of beauties tease him, but he's not allowed to have them. Then, you finally push him past his limits till a point where he goes insane and finally submits to your technique?"

Xiao Hong nodded emphatically. "Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly correct!"

Tian Lingling, Dreamy Voice Fairy, and the other female cultivators all blushed upon hearing this. Huang Shanshan spat in disdain.

However, after some male cultivators heard this, their eyes lit up.

"That's right! According to the bits of information my sect has been able to gather on the Demon Kings, this Demon King of Wickedness is extremely lustful for women. Perhaps this is his weakness. If we target this, we might actually succeed!" Green River Sword Immortal exclaimed in realization.

The male cultivators all nodded in agreement and turned their excited gazes toward Xiao Hong.

An Lin was a bit anxious. "Xiao Hong, you're going to transform into a beauty in order to tease the Demon King of Wickedness?"

Xiao Hong shook her head. "Master, I can't even shape-shift yet, how can I transform into a beautiful woman? My magical ability can plant such images directly into his mind and make him feel as if he really were in such a scenario. After stimulating him, if he really does give in to his lust, then my Great Bewitching Technique will have been successful!"

Hearing this, the male cultivators sighed in disappointment, and An Lin sighed in relief.

Thank the heavens, this technique is only an illusory one.

"Okay then, go ahead and try." Saying this, An Lin held Xiao Hong in front of the Demon King of Wickedness.

"Ah! Master, I can't start yet. I'm still missing some resources," Xiao Hong said.

"Resources?" An Lin blinked in confusion.

Xiao Hong swayed about. "The beautiful women who are going to tease the Demon King of Wickedness of course. I need someone to act as a template which I can use to simulate a beauty, then I can use this beauty to awaken his lust!"

An Lin started to get a bad feeling about this. "Are… Are there any requirements for this template?"

"Not really, all they need to do is wear some revealing female clothes and stand in front of me. I can then extrapolate and create an image in my illusory world!" Xiao Hong explained.

The rest of the cultivators all heard this explanation as well.

An Lin turned his gaze toward the female cultivators…

"I refuse!" Xu Xiaolan said right away.

"I'm just a loli, please spare me!" Tian Lingling said.

An Lin grimaced. So now you f*cking shamelessly call yourself a loli? "Huh? You want me to seduce the Demon King of Wickedness? Even if it's just a simulation, it's still disgusting. I refuse!" Dreamy Voice Fairy said in revulsion.

"Dress revealingly and act as a template for the flower spirit? Simply this requirement is already one that I can't accept!" Huang Shanshan said in disgust.

Immediately afterward, all the other female cultivators expressed their refusal.

In the end, not a single person agreed to act as a template…

An Lin felt great despair. Aren't you all standing here because you want to protect the world and bring peace to the world?!

Now you're all refusing to help. What the hell?! Seeing that all the female cultivators refused to help, Xiao Hong didn't become discouraged and continued, "It's understandable that these sisters are shy. To be honest, males can act as the template too!"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and they all looked toward Xiao Hong dazedly.

Xiao Hong continued, "M-hm, as long as you guys wear revealing female clothes and stand in front of me, I can extrapolate and alter your genders in my mind. It's just increasing the bust, whitening the skin, and thinning down the waist. It's very easy to visualize!"

There was nothing wrong with this reasoning, but the male cultivators all felt nauseous when they heard this.

"I refuse!" Xuanyuan Cheng said right away.

Cloud Exploring Daoist stroked his white beard and said slowly, "This old man will have to refuse as well, I'll just end up scaring the Demon King of Wickedness."

"Women's clothing? Don't kid me!" Green River Sword Immortal said coldly.

"I'm so fat, I'll just end up making it harder for the flower spirit to visualize." The Savior shook his head vigorously.

…

Just like that, the male cultivators also firmly turned down this request.

An Lin was a bit disappointed. It appeared as if this method wouldn't work either.

However, for some reason, he suddenly found that everyone was looking at him.

"W-why are you guys all staring at me?" An Lin felt a chill down his spine.

From these dozen or so gazes, he discerned a hint of zealousness!

"Daoist An Lin, I think that you're fairly handsome!" The Savior said.

"Fake Daoist Priest will definitely look stunning in female clothing!" Tian Lingling's eyes were full of anticipation.

An Lin was extremely alarmed. "What are you guys trying to do?! I also refuse to wear female clothes!"

"But… Student An Lin, you're the team leader," Xuanyuan Cheng said cordially.

"That's right, Daoist An Lin, you're our team leader!" The Savior concurred.

Cloud Exploring Daoist stroked his beard and said, "Since you're the team leader, you shouldn't retreat in the face of difficulty. Only in such a way can you demonstrate your leadership!"

An Lin wanted to spew blood. He really wanted to say, F*ck being the team leader! Whoever wants to be team leader can take the role!

At this moment, Xiao Hong also spoke excitedly. "Don't worry Master. I'll definitely make you into the most stunning and erotic woman. I definitely won't tarnish your mighty reputation!!!"

Hearing this, An Lin almost blacked out. He started to wonder if he had taken in a fake spirit pet…

Please, who can adopt this spirit!

Other people's spirit pets flew through the skies and traversed the earth. They were almighty and were their masters' best helpers.

What about his spirit pet? Bloody amazing! She didn't know how to do anything apart from forcing him to wear female clothing!

Chapter 70: Yielding to the Cross-Dressing Male

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"That um… fellow cultivators, why don't we try to come up with something else?"

An Lin was about to burst into tears, and he felt an urge to strangle Xiao Hong to death.

Hearing this suggestion, the cultivators all shook their heads in unison. There was an expectant look in their eyes.

"At present, this is the only feasible method," Cloud Exploring Daoist said slowly.

"An Lin, we believe in you!" There was a strange blush on Dreamy Voice Fairy's fine and delicate face, and she spoke in a very pleasant voice.

"This matter concerns the Demon Emperor's plans… The responsibility for maintaining world peace rests upon your shoulders!" Green River Sword Immortal said solemnly.

"However…"

After grappling with this for a moment, An Lin's eyes lit up. He had suddenly thought of a brilliant method to avoid this situation. "I can look up pictures of beautiful women online, or I can let Xiao Hong watch some X-rated content!"

Xiao Hong shook her head emphatically upon hearing this. "Master, for the Great Bewitching Technique to work, I must use a 3D source. Otherwise, I won't be able to render the images in the illusion."

An Lin didn't give up and persisted, "But I don't have any revealing female clothes!"

Right as he finished speaking, aside from Tian Lingling, all the tall and slender females took out a few items of clothing and thrust it before him. These were all erotic items of clothing.

The speed at which they did this was jaw-dropping!

Xu Xiaolan went as far as to retrieve three full wardrobes of clothing, giving him a wide variety to choose from…

Huang Shanshan even took out a bikini swimsuit!

Bikini…

F*ck your bikini!

An Lin was so angry that he almost suffered an asthma attack. Which bastard female cultivator just said that she didn't wear revealing clothes?

Now she has the nerve to hand me a bikini?!

Doesn't your conscience ache?!

The female cultivators all lowered their heads, as if to say—we yield to our cross-dressing leader!

The male cultivators all wore a solemn expression and there was sincerity in their eyes as they looked toward An Lin. It was as if they were saying—we pay our utmost respect to our cross-dressing leader!

An Lin: "…"

An Lin still wanted to resist yet he had already been driven into a corner and had no way out.

After mulling over it for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made one of the most important decisions in his life.

F*ck it!

Isn't it just womenswear? I'll bloody wear it!

I'm wearing this for the sake of world peace, I'm wearing this to protect humanity!

An Lin kept telling himself this in an attempt to alleviate the pressure he felt. Then, he started picking from the clothes in front of him.

His hands were trembling as he looked over the revealing items of clothing laid out before him.

Sh*t, why are they all so revealing…

I've never seen any of the female cultivators wear these before. What on earth did they buy these for?!

To look at?

…

Eventually, he picked out the least revealing item of clothing.

It was a black crop top and a black miniskirt.

How could this be put? He felt that a black tone wasn't as perverted as a pink tone and that it was just barely acceptable.

An Lin's slightly handsome face flushed red.

F*ck, anyone would get embarrassed cross-dressing in front of others!

Although the cultivators all turned their backs to An Lin and looked away, but… who could tell him… why were the female cultivators all holding their mirrors and doing their makeup?

Okay, maybe they all suddenly wanted to do their makeup at the same time. An Lin had nothing to say.

But… why the f*ck were the males also looking into mirrors?!

So be it if they wanted to hold up mirrors…

There were a few who went even further and started to take selfies on their phones!

In the pictures they took, An Lin acted as a beautiful background. These were memorable pictures worthy of being kept.

Tears brimmed in An Lin's eyes.

Feeling a deep sense of shame, he put on the clothes.

Worn on his body, the black crop top revealed his solid pecs.

Because the black shirt was so small, even his waist was laid bare.

Dressed in the miniskirt, his long and pale legs were also exposed under the sunshine.

That spectacle…

Sigh, forget about it…

"Xiao Hong, hurry the f*ck up and record it!" There was a menacing look in An Lin's eyes.

Wearing this for even one second longer would be extremely tormenting for him.

Xiao Hong's slender body trembled slightly. Following An Lin's request, she quickly started to render an erotic female based off of An Lin's figure.

3D simulation has begun, starting to scan template…

An Lin's bust needs to be big. D-cup, no, E-cup is better.

As for the waist, a slender one will do. The buttocks also need to be bigger. That way it'll be curvier…

The legs need to be smooth, long, and slender. The arms need to be slender and elegant. The eyes need to be limpid like the autumn waters…

Time passed slowly, and it was as if a century had gone by…

…

After successfully recording the template, An Lin was finally able to change back into his normal clothes.

The cultivators all turned back around as well.

The male cultivators looked at him apologetically, and the beautiful female cultivators avoided his gaze with a blush on their face.

Sh*t! What's with the look in their eyes?!

An Lin felt as if he had been traumatized a second time…

Xuanyuan Cheng walked over and patted his shoulders, a look of encouragement in his eyes.

Xu Xiaolan also stood beside him and said softly, "It'll be okay. In time, this will all be forgotten. This will all become the past (Although right now, that image is stuck firmly in our minds)."

"Don't worry. I had a look just then, and your chest is even larger than mine," Tian Lingling also consoled.

An Lin: "…"

He felt an urge to strangle Tian Lingling to death.

The cultivators all took turns in consoling An Lin, wishing to provide him with some emotional support and have him forget the trauma that he had once experienced.

However… An Lin felt that he would never be able to forget the experience of wearing female clothes…

…

After collecting and rendering the necessary information, Xiao Hong used the Great Bewitching Technique on the Demon King of Wickedness.

After just having recovered a shred of consciousness from the torture he experienced beforehand, the Demon King of Wickedness' eyes became vacant again. Then, he saw the sexy and erotic Fairy An…

A vulgar smile appeared on the Demon King of Wickedness' face, and his entire body became hot with fervor.

From the Demon King's expression, the cultivators were able to deduce that the Great Bewitching Technique had achieved preliminary success.

Then, the Demon King started breathing heavily.

Within the illusory world, he was chasing after Fairy An who was constantly teasing him.

However, Fairy An was a lady (man) that he would never be able to woo.

This was a feeling of despair, and flames of lust raged inside him.

The Demon King's expressions were spectacular, so spectacular that An Lin couldn't bear to watch on.

Unable to fulfill his desires, the flames of his lust became boundless, and they raged across every inch of his body.

The Demon King of Wickedness was extremely worked up, yet he had no means of containing or satisfying his lust.

This was a feeling of agony and despair.

His expression gradually became vicious, and his entire body started to tremble.

…

"Who can help me, who can help me…

"I'll listen to anything you say. I beg you, I beg you…"

The Demon King of Wickedness kept muttering and kept begging.

The Demon King of Wickedness—who was firm and unwavering in the face of brutal torture—finally started to yield now. He was beginning to yield to the cross-dressing male!

"I can help you, but you must listen to and obey my every word!" Xiao Hong said seductively.

A conflicted expression suddenly appeared on the Demon King's face. However, this expression quickly became one of respect and submission. "Okay, I accept…"

Following the Demon King's pledge, his face suddenly became blank and devoid of any expression.

This signified that the Great Bewitching Technique had entered its third phase—the phase of obedience!

Chapter 71: Demon Emperor's Plan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Explain, what did you plan to do by laying a trap and luring the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators here?" Xiao Hong asked slowly.

When she spoke now, her words naturally contained an air of authority. It was as if they possessed an overwhelming power which enticed one to comply with her demands.

The Demon King had descended into a senseless state, with his eyes vacant and expression lifeless.

His mouth opened slowly. "The aim of luring Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators here was to activate the Demon Emperor's Blood Token. To fully activate this Blood Token, it is necessary to sacrifice human cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage."

Hearing this, everyone finally came to a realization. The Demon Emperor had gone to such troubles of laying out this trap because he wanted to capture a Spirit Nurturing Stage human cultivator to sacrifice in the refinement of his magic tool!

There were very few cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, and their whereabouts were hard to pinpoint. Trying to find and capture them was extremely difficult.

His idea of luring Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators out with a wanted Evil Spirit King was a decent one.

If blame was to be laid, then it would have to be laid on the Demon King of Wisdom's exaggerated acting. It was this which alerted An Lin and the others, and this which gave them an opportunity to turn the tables.

"Then what does the Demon Emperor hope to achieve by activating this Blood Token?" Green River Sword Immortal asked.

Xiao Hong repeated this question and the Demon King of Wickedness answered, "The Blood Token is a special magic tool that the Blood God of the Western Blood Tribe gifted to the Demon Emperor in order to help him recover his cultivation base. There are two demon heads on this magic tool. Through these demon heads, the Demon Emperor can absorb the blood essence of cultivators, which aids in the rehabilitation of his injuries and also helps to increase his cultivation base."

"Humph! The Blood Tribe is colluding with the Demon Tribe? Weren't they always at odds with each other?"

Hearing that the Blood Tribe had played a part in this, Cloud Exploring Daoist's face darkened.

"Five years ago, the Demon Emperor was severely injured by Heavenly Teacher Zhang of Mt. Long Hu. Afterward, he fled into the Kunlun Mountains and disappeared thereafter."

"In that massive battle, Heavenly Teacher Zhang's Soul Shattering Thunder Technique obliterated the Demon Emperor's dao foundation. The Blood Token can even heal this type of injury?" Green River Sword Immortal furrowed his brows.

Heavenly Teacher Zhang was the strongest cultivator in China and his Soul Shattering Thunder Technique was sublime.

Having his dao foundation destroyed by the thunder technique, the Demon Emperor's cultivation base should have weakened significantly and have been impossible to recover.

Could it be that the Blood Token was insanely powerful and could actually heal one's dao foundation?

To this, Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head. "The effects of the Blood Token is not to heal the dao foundation. From the Demon King of Wickedness' description, this Blood Token he speaks of is actually just the Blood Tribe's Flesh and Blood Spirit Tablet. Its function is to transform the Demon Emperor into a member of the Blood Tribe!"

"Brother Cheng, you also know about the Blood Tribe?" An Lin exclaimed in surprise.

"The Blood Tribe is a very powerful tribe of Tai Chu Continent. They're located in the dark marshlands of the southwest, so I naturally know a bit about them. The Blood Tribe in the mortal world is merely the descendants of those that they left behind inadvertently," Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled.

"Fellow cultivator Xuanyuan, you said that the Demon Emperor is going to transform into a member of the Blood Tribe?!" Cloud Exploring Daoist's eyes widened in disbelief.

The other cultivators were also astonished, and they all turned their gazes to Xuanyuan Cheng.

Members of the Blood Tribe didn't need to form a spirit root. They simply relied on strengthening their bodies in order to finally become a Saint.

This manner of cultivation was completely different from that of the Demon Tribe.

Even so, members of the Demon Tribe could still transform into members of the Blood Tribe. This news was even more surprising than the fact that a destroyed dao foundation could be healed.

"Taking advantage of the bodies of powerful cultivators, The Flesh and Blood Spirit Tablet can help the Demon Emperor reconstruct his body. Then, bestowing upon him the bloodline of the Blood Tribe, he can successfully undergo this tribal transformation.

"So, I suspect that there are definitely no fewer than two Blood Gods of the Soul Formation Stage supporting this Demon Emperor.

"Because in order to complete this transformation, there needs to be two Blood Gods present to maintain the operation of the spell formation!" Xuanyuan Cheng continued.

"Two Blood Gods…" Cloud Exploring Daoist frowned, "I must report this to Heavenly Teacher Zhang at once!"

Two Blood Gods and one Demon Emperor…

They were definitely up to no good!

Afterward, An Lin and the others continued to question the Demon King of Wickedness.

However, apart from the fact that the Demon Emperor was going to perform sacrificial refinement on the Blood Token, he knew nothing else.

Seeing that even the Demon King was in the dark about the cooperation and plans between the Demon Emperor and the Blood Gods, they started feeling a little uneasy.

Even the Demon King was unaware of the plans. What were they going to do? Ask the Demon Emperor?

In the end, An Lin and the others asked for the coordinates of the demon territory as well as about the distribution of their power. After this, they stopped their interrogation.

These were the only pieces of information that they were able to gather from the Demon King of Wickedness.

Xiao Hong lifted the Great Bewitching Technique and returned to An Lin's pocket in exhaustion.

"Hmm, how are we going to deal with the Demon King of Wickedness?"

An Lin fell deep into thought as he looked at the Demon King who had been tormented by them.

Lifting his head and looking at An Lin, a glimmer appeared in the Demon King of Wickedness' hazy eyes.

There was also… a look of intense emotion!

An Lin's chest tightened. "Oi, no one wants this Demon King, right? I'm going to kill it, okay?!" he yelled.

Tian Lingling and Huang Shanshan covered their mouths and chuckled softly. Clearly, they had also noticed the Demon King of Wickedness' expression.

At this moment, Green River Sword Immortal walked forwards. "Fellow cultivator An Lin, I'll deal with such filthy matter!"

Saying this, he drew his sword. With a dazzling slash, he slew the Demon King of Wickedness.

Green River Sword Immortal had always been good at grabbing opportunities to slay enemies!

Glancing at the Demon King of Wickedness' body, a rare expression of pity appeared on the cultivators' faces.

Even though he was tortured in all kinds of inhumane ways, he still firmly maintained his position, not betraying his tribe and not abandoning it either.

Putting aside their differences, this Demon King's loyalty earned their heartfelt admiration!

…

After dealing with this matter, the cultivators all started reporting to their sects what had happened.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan once again experienced the appeal of technology.

After all, techniques such as Thousand Mile Messaging and what not could only be used by high-ranking cultivators. However, WeChat was something that everyone could use!

Regardless of your rank, you could immediately relay information to others.

You could also engage in group chats and even live stream. Everyone could engage in long-distance communication!

This was the appeal of technology!

"It'd be great if this existed in the Kingdom of the Nine States!" There was a look of envy on Xu Xiaolan's face. She liked to drive, and she liked to scroll through Taobao and Jingdong…

"The Purple Star Civilization of Tai Chu Continent was far more advanced than this mortal world," Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled. "However, you know just how tragic their demise was."

Xu Xiaolan nodded upon hearing this and let out a soft sigh.

…

After dealing with this matter, An Lin and the others headed toward the demonic pagoda to strengthen its seal.

In order to prevent accidents, the remaining cultivators stood guard outside of the demonic pagoda.

An Lin walked toward the large crimson door. The terrifying aura of the pagoda exuded from between the doors and made one feel a sense of suffocation.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to push open the large doors.

However, he quickly regained his senses and stopped himself.

In order to strengthen the seal, they only needed to stay outside of the pagoda. With their strength, they wouldn't be able to open the doors anyway.

Golden symbols emerged on the crimson pagoda, appearing sinister yet majestic.

Xuanyuan Cheng started casting immortal spells to strengthen the seal. Meanwhile, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan stood to his side, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.

…

This was a mystic realm deep within the Kunlun Mountains, and the entire area was shrouded with a rainbow-colored mist. This place was called the Demon Realm.

The mighty figure sitting upon the golden supreme throne suddenly released a devastating power. This power crushed everything within a ten feet radius to smithereens, even the golden kingly thrones.

One of the Demon Kings felt a throbbing pain in his heart as he looked at the obliterated thrones.

Sh*t, those were mid-level magic tools! If you don't want them, then give them to me! The Demon Emperor breathed deeply, clearly on the verge of fury.

At a certain location, four white skulls lay splintered. These skulls were linked to the vital energy of the Demon Kings.

Four splintered skulls meant that the four Demon Kings who had been sent out on a mission had all failed their mission and died!

"Absolute trash! They actually all died at the hands of human cultivators…"

The Demon Emperor's voice was a low rumble, and a chilly killing intent started to creep into it.

"It looks like I have no choice but to personally deal with this matter…"

Chapter 72: The Final Bout of Shopping

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xuanyuan Cheng and his group successfully strengthened the seal on the evil spirit pagoda without too much trouble.

There weren't any unforeseen mishaps on the way, allowing the trio to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that the Evil Spirit King, the Hundred-Eyed Spider, had died and the seal on the evil spirit pagoda had been successfully reinforced, An Lin's mission in the mortal world had technically reached completion.

As for exactly what the Demon Emperor and the Blood God were plotting for their next move, that was something that was out of their depths and they could only report the situation to the Heavenly Court.

After completing the mission, all the cultivators bade farewell to An Lin and his group and returned to their respective sects.

Huang Shanshan led An Lin and his group to the Baiyun Temple, which was one of the meeting points for the mission.

Baiyun Temple was situated in a mountain on the peripherals of Rong City, obscured by an invisibility spell formation.

From its exterior, it looked quite mundane and peaceful, no different from a normal temple.

However, it housed a teleportation spell formation within its interior, allowing cultivators to traverse between the Heavenly Court and the mortal world.

Only the Heavenly Court had the right to initiate teleportation, which meant that the teleportation was only operated for a one-way passage.

If the mortal world wanted to communicate with the Heavenly Court, they could only do so by transmitting information through the use of the white jade transmission walls within the temple.

An Lin began to write out a mission report on a white jade wall, which also included information regarding the Demon Emperor and the Blood Tribe. It would most likely require an Immortal from the Heavenly Court to be able to deal with these issues.

"Done!"

An Lin exhaled in relief after completing the report, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Haha! We can play around to our heart's content in the remaining half a month now!" Xu Xiaolan whooped in excitement.

She deeply cherished every day she spent in the mortal world, and her short holiday here had lived up to all of her expectations without fail.

A warm smile also appeared on Xuanyuan Cheng's face. "What do you guys plan on doing next? I plan to pay a visit to the department of defense to survey some military weaponry, as I feel like this would provide inspiration for my tool refinement craft."

Xu Xiaolan laughed happily. "I don't really have any plans; I just want to enjoy myself to the fullest!"

An Lin also nodded in agreement. "Me too, after finishing the remaining shopping assignments, I also just want to enjoy myself to the fullest extent possible."

Huang Shanshan looked on at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, feeling a little speechless.

She really wanted to say, look at Xuanyuan Cheng, so eager to learn and improve himself, then look at yourselves!

"Immortal ambassador Xuanyuan, you can call me at any time when you're interested in visiting the department of defense. I would be happy to arrange something for you." Huang Shanshan said to Xuanyuan Cheng.

"Yes please, thank you."

Xuanyuan Cheng smiled warmly at Huang Shanshan, nodding his head in gratitude.

A dazed expression crept onto Huang Shanshan's face as she looked at Xuanyuan Cheng's dazzling smile, causing her to lower her head and blush in embarrassment.

Her heart thumped uncontrollably in her chest.

My God… how could such an outrageously handsome man possibly exist!?

Screw all the Korean and Chinese models, they can all get f*cked!

Big Brother Xuanyuan's looks are beyond perfection, he is my number one prince charming!

Huang Shanshan decided to herself there and then that she wanted to be Xuanyuan Cheng's figurative warm coat, warming him wherever he went…

Bah! That's not right, no, she wanted to be his personal secretary instead, never leaving his side…

Hm, that doesn't seem quite right either…

F*ck it, it doesn't matter; she just wanted to be wherever Big Brother Xuanyuan was.

Xuanyuan Cheng smiled a little awkwardly while looking at Huang Shanshan's blushing face.

Huang Shanshan's blush deepened even further upon seeing his smile, the redness even extending to the roots of her ears.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan could only look on in amazement at Huang Shanshan's completely infatuated state.

Huang Shanshan had previously worked so hard to maintain a cold and professional facade, but all that seemed to go out the window in the face of Xuanyuan Cheng's dazzling smile.

Tian Lingling stood to the side in silence, quietly taking a photo on her phone in commemoration of this event.

What a shock! Tomboy Huang Shanshan blushing at the sight of a man's smile!

Was this all still a part of her job or had her heart truly been captured…

Tian Lingling's bright eyes flashed with excitement, and she'd already begun mapping out a storyline for a fan-fiction between the two.

She was very happy. It appeared as if there was a new way to force Huang Shanshan into submission!

…

An Lin and his group returned to their hotel for a bit of rest.

An Lin sat down on a chair before bringing out the final shopping list from his storage ring.

This list was the most difficult one to complete and was thus left for last.

There weren't many items on the list; in fact, there were only three.

Number one: Compile a photo book comprising of fifty photos of beautiful female cultivators from the mortal world going about their daily lives.

Number two: Collect a small intercontinental range missile.

Number three: Get an autograph signed personally by Dongfang Xue.

An Lin had previously joined the group 'all cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth' and there were a few dozen female cultivators in the group.

However, when he stalked their profiles, he could only find photos of a few of them.

This was presumably as most female cultivators were not into taking selfies.

Just as An Lin came to a loss for what to do, a thought suddenly flashed into his head. What about Tian Lingling?

In the end, he assigned this arduous task to Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling jumped around like a little excited bunny after receiving a huge sum of twenty spirit stones as remuneration before happily accepting the task.

Problems that could be resolved through the use of spirit stones in the mortal world could not even be considered as actual problems!

What An Lin did not tell Tian Lingling was, the guys that paid him for the photos spent a staggering total of six hundred spirit stones for them…

Having completed the first item on the list, he moved on to the second one.

Things like missiles were a public safety concern and could not be easily obtained.

However, An Lin decided to ask for Xuanyuan Cheng's help, seeing as he was going to do some research at the Hua Nation's military weapon base soon.

Xuanyuan Cheng also accepted his request without any fuss. Given his identity as an immortal ambassador, it would not be that hard to obtain a small intercontinental range missile, provided he negotiated with them rationally.

And just like that, the second item on the list was also taken care of.

An Lin then cast his gaze on the last item on the list, getting an autograph from Dongfang Xue.

This was a request made by a super fan of Dongfang Xue. Apparently, he had become completely infatuated with Dongfang Xue after attending one of her concerts, to the extent that he even refused to return to the Heavenly Court.

If it wasn't for his team leader dragging him back to the Heavenly Court with them, he might have just stayed in the mortal world!

Dongfang Xue was a singer, but if you thought that getting an autograph from a singer was a simple task, then you could not be more wrong.

Dongfang Xue was no ordinary singer; she never performed at any business events. The only times she appeared in person was at her concerts.

On top of that, she was extremely willful and performed exactly five songs only at any concert, no more and no less, regardless of the situation.

However, her fans still adored her like crazy, every one of her concerts were sell-outs without fail.

From what An Lin could recall, this popular singer from the Hua Nation was just like the wind.

She came and went without a trace, living her life as she dictated.

Irrespective of what status you possessed, whether that be rich tycoons or powerful government officials, she refused to meet any of them in person.

And the most important thing was, her fans numbered in the millions, but not even one of them had an autograph signed by her!

To secure an autograph from someone who never signed autographs, the difficulty in this endeavor required no further elaboration.

At the time when An Lin's upperclassman came to the mortal world, he was also an immortal ambassador, but even then, he was still refused a chance to meet the singer.

As he could not complete this task himself, he had now pinned his hopes on An Lin.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the rich remuneration promised to him, An Lin really didn't want to accept this assignment.

"Sigh." Even his identity as an immortal ambassador wasn't going to do him any favors, what could he do? Use brute force to earn her submission?

Although it wasn't right to rely on force, one could always make an exception right?

No, no!

An Lin shook his head from side to side, chastising himself for even considering such unscrupulous methods.

If he were to do that, not only would it weigh heavily on his conscience, it kind of defeated the purpose of getting the autograph as well.

"What to do…"

An Lin leaned back in his chair, sighing to himself.

"What's up?" a crisp voice sounded by his ear.

Tian Lingling poked her face next to An Lin's, looking down at his list with curiosity in her eyes.

She had just been persuading the female cultivators in the group to hand over their photos.

Now, upon hearing An Lin's sighs, she immediately ran to his side to see if she could help with anything else and perhaps earn some more spirit stones in the process…

"Hah? An autograph from Big Sister Dongfang?" Tian Lingling's expression soured a little after seeing this entry on An Lin's list.

Based on the way she referred to Dongfang Xue, it was clear that Tian Lingling knew her. An Lin immediately perked up in excitement.

"Do you know Dongfang Xue? Would you be able to get her autograph?"

Chapter 73: Obtaining the Signature!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A rare expression of awkwardness crept onto Tian Lingling's face upon hearing An Lin's question.

"What is it? You can't do it?" An Lin asked worriedly.

Tian Lingling did not answer his question. "Actually… you've dealt with Dongfang Xue before…"

"I've dealt with her before!?" An Lin was startled upon hearing this.

A sly smile appeared on Tian Lingling's face. "Dongfang Xue is the Calm Celestial Maiden in the WeChat group."

"Calm Celestial Maiden…"

An Lin's pupils contracted slightly as a series of images began to surface in his mind.

The first time Calm Celestial Maiden appeared in the group was when she was shocked to the extent of fainting and vomiting blood upon hearing about An Lin's insanely fast progression in cultivation…

The second time Calm Celestial Maiden appeared in the group was when she begged him to let her participate in the mission to exterminate the Evil Spirit King.

However, at that time, An Lin had filled his quota for cultivators at the Tenth Stage Dao Body and thus refused her pleas without a second thought…

"This…" An Lin was a little dumbfounded.

An Lin remained silent for a long time before sighing to himself. "You reap what you sow…"

As friends from the same group chat, he might've had a chance at obtaining her signature.

But now, An Lin had unintentionally hurt her over and over again with his rejection. If he was to ask for a signature now, would she give him one?

She would probably give him a slap across the face instead…

God was fair after all!

An Lin slumped hopelessly in his chair, a crestfallen expression on his face.

Tian Lingling had also realized the situation. She could only stand to the side with a pained look on her face, not really sure of what to say.

"Well… if you really wanted the signature, it's not impossible, but it's gonna cost you…"

Tian Lingling said after a moment of hesitation.

"What's it going to cost me?" An Lin regained a bit of his composure before turning to look at Tian Lingling's pained expression.

"Big Sister Dongfang owes me a favor. Even though she never signs autographs, if I were to beg her, she would still oblige. The only thing is… you know…" Tian Lingling sighed whilst stroking her forehead, "favors can only be redeemed once…"

An Lin thought to himself for a bit before making an offer. "Twenty spirit stones!"

Tian Lingling was still a little hesitant. "To be honest, this task is really not any easier than collecting photos from fifty female cultivators…"

Just as An Lin was about to offer one hundred spirit stones, Tian Lingling came up with a proposal of her own. "How about thirty spirit stones! I'll give you a hand if you're willing to fork out thirty!"

An Lin blinked with a blank expression on his face. "Uh… yeah, ok!"

A barely detectable smirk emerged on Tian Lingling's face upon hearing An Lin's answer.

Ha! He's the perfect combination of dumb and rich… It's just an autograph, if I was to personally ask for one, of course Big Sister Dongfang would sign one for me. I've just swindled him out of another thirty spirit stones, what easy money!

Unbeknownst to Tian Lingling, a barely detectable smile had also surfaced on An Lin's face upon hearing Tian Lingling's proposal.

Little lolis are really easy to swindle… A mere thirty spirit stones are nothing compared to the eight hundred spirit stones offered to me as remuneration for obtaining the autograph! Even after forking out thirty spirit stones, I would still make a profit of seven hundred and seventy, what easy money!

Each of them became engrossed in their own thoughts, their moods both lifting significantly.

Tian Lingling began to investigate Dongfang Xue's whereabouts, soon discovering that she was set to appear at a concert in Rong City tonight.

Huh, what a coincidence!

Even the Gods were on her side!

At this time, the night was only young and the concert had just begun.

There was more than enough time for An Lin and Tian Lingling to make their way to the concert.

Just like that, the two of them set off to the venue where the concert was being held.

…

Tian Lingling tried to contact Dongfang Xue, but she appeared to be busy and did not reply to her messages.

Having received no reply, Tian Lingling made a phone call directly to the general manager of the Tianyu Organisation, requesting backstage access to the concert.

Her identity as the daughter of the chairman of the Tianyu Organisation was like a universal green light, and all the staff at the concert were notified in less than ten minutes.

Shortly after, the two of them arrived at the concert venue.

Despite the fact that An Lin was still outside the venue, he could still see the tens of thousands of white glow sticks waving rhythmically in the night. It made the venue a sea of white, giving it a sense of mystical beauty.

The sound of mesmerizing music filled the air, putting all the concert-goers in a trance-like state.

It had to be said, Dongfang Xue was a fantastic singer.

If you were to give An Lin a chair, he felt like he could sit outside the venue and listen to the concert from there until its conclusion!

Many of her fans had indeed brought their own chairs, sitting outside the venue, listening to the music with a look of enjoyment on their faces.

An Lin did a rough headcount and found that there were at least several thousand people…

An Lin was left speechless in shock. He felt like his worldview had been completely tipped on its head by the sheer influence of Dongfang Xue's music.

These were probably all fans who couldn't get tickets.

But a mere wall could not impede their passion, and they could sit on a chair outside the venue and still enjoy the concert from there.

An Lin and Tian Lingling snuck into the venue through the back door, making a smooth journey backstage to where Dongfang Xue's makeup room was.

They received a warm welcome from Ms. Liu, who was Dongfang Xue's manager.

Although Ms. Liu did not know who the man was, she certainly recognized the petite little girl accompanying him. Not only was she a great friend of Dongfang Xue, but she was also the daughter of the chairman of the Tianyu Organisation. Ms. Liu naturally did not dare to cast a cold shoulder to someone of her status.

Dongfang Xue was still singing onstage. The duration of the concert was two hours, during which, she only sang five songs.

She filled the remaining time by either inviting other concert-goers to sing or by playing some footage on the big screen for everyone to see. In any case, she stuck to her resolution of only five songs with the utmost wilfulness!

She was now already on her third song, a song named 'A City Painted From Sand'.

Even backstage in the makeup room, An Lin could still clearly hear her singing.

Dongfang Xue's light-spirited voice contained a hint of jaded maturity. The song was filled with a bleak sense of resignation and desolation at the unpredictable nature of life.

The song involuntarily evoked a certain image in the listeners' minds, as if they could see a maiden standing atop the walls of an ancient city submerged in sand, lightly singing a nostalgic song.

A song could not only express emotions, but also an artistic concept.

It was clear that Dongfang Xue had mastered the expression of both these aspects in her singing.

The song may have concluded, but the emotions it evoked continued to remain in the listeners' minds long after the conclusion of the song itself.

Dongfang Xue was about to return to her makeup room and An Lin was beginning to feel quite anxious.

This was partly due to his prior rejection of her pleas…

However, another big part of this was because he suddenly felt like a starstruck fan about to meet his idol.

It was true, An Lin had already fallen to the charms of Dongfang Xue's music…

The sound of light footsteps began to approach the room as a delightful voice sounded from the other side of the door.

"Ms. Liu, make me a cup of jasmine tea."

A woman came through the door at the conclusion of the sentence.

She wore a light brown dress which perfectly sheathed her lithe and graceful frame. Her skin was white as snow and her eyes were like rippling water, giving the onlooker a sense of mesmerization.

This was a woman filled with a classical sense of beauty.

An Lin did not know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of serenity within his heart at the sight of her.

"Big Sister Dongfang!"

Tian Lingling jumped on her excitedly, using the advantage of her short stature to bury her face in Dongfang Xue's chest.

Dongfang Xue was clearly a little taken aback before recovering her composure and rubbing Tian Lingling's head with a doting smile of adoration on her face. "Who would have thought that you'd be here tonight, I thought you weren't interested in my music?"

An Lin immediately fell into a frenzy of rage. Not interested in her music?

What kind of inhumane person was she?

An Lin was not even aware of this himself, but he had just completed his transformation in becoming a retarded superfan…

Tian Lingling giggled as she wrapped her arms around Dongfang Xue's thin frame. "I missed you!"

"Sure you did!"

Dongfang Xue pursed her lips in a skeptical smile before casting her gaze upon An Lin.

Tian Lingling had also noticed where Dongfang Xue's attention was directed. "Big Sister Dongfang, do you know who he is?"

Dongfang Xue looked closely at the handsome man in front of her.

The man was smiling at her with an expression that said he was eager to please her, but unfortunately, she had zero recollection of him.

In the end, she could only shake her head in confusion. "Don't just leave me hanging, who is he?"

Tian Lingling whispered into Dongfang Xue's ear with a sly expression on her face. "Do you remember Fake Daoist Priest Little An…"

Dongfang Xue blinked with a blank expression on her face as a series of conversation entries began to materialize in her mind.

Her serenely beautiful face suddenly took on a sour expression as she drew in a deep breath.

"Ms. Liu, please see off our guest!"

Chapter 74: I'm Your Loyal Fan!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Liu hesitated upon hearing Dongfang Xue's instructions to 'see off' their guest.

Whilst An Lin's heart shattered into a million pieces.

This was the type of unparalleled hopelessness a retarded superfan experienced when being shunned by their idol.

"Don't jump to conclusions, Big Sister Dongfang! Fake Daoist Priest is here today especially to make an apology to you!" Tian Lingling said.

As she was saying this, she blinked at An Lin inconspicuously.

An Lin immediately took the hint, an expression of apology appearing on his face. "That's right, Calm Celestial Maiden, I've been feeling quite guilty about what had happened between us in the WeChat group and have come to make a formal apology to you."

"A formal apology?"

The expression on Dongfang Xue's face eased a little.

She had actually already calmed down.

After all, what An Lin did in the group chat was very standard protocol; there was nothing personal about his treatment of the matter.

It was only that his rejections were still deeply etched in her mind, thereby prompting this reaction from her.

"And on top of that, I'm also your loyal fan!" An Lin continued with bright eyes.

To obtain a signature, he naturally had to adopt the identity of a fan.

Besides…

This was also the truth, straight from An Lin's heart, which made his words all the more heartfelt and sincere.

"Oh? Really…"

Dongfang Xue's eyes narrowed slightly and she had a skeptical smile on her face. "You say that you're my loyal fan, eh? I'm going to have to ask you three questions to verify that."

"Ask away." An Lin was beginning to feel a little anxious.

Was this a test from his idol? How stimulating!

Dongfang Xue raised up a thin, perfectly-manicured finger. "Question number one, do you like my singing?"

An Lin blanked out for a second. No sh*t!?

He immediately replied. "I do, very much so. Your voice is like that of an angel, intoxicating all your listeners."

Dongfang Xue nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this before continuing on.

"Question number two, which songs are exclusively performed by me?"

"'A City Painted From Sand', 'The Years Flowing Like Jade', 'Fiendish Little Sister', 'The Small Immortal Fox'…"

An Lin answered without hesitation, as these were all songs at the top of all the renowned music charts. Even if you weren't a fan of Dongfang Xue, you'd still most likely know the answer.

"Last question…"

An enchanting smile appeared on Dongfang Xue's face as she gazed at An Lin, her eyes like rippling water.

"Do you… think I'm beautiful?"

An Lin blanked out again.

Holy f*ck, what kind of question is this!?

Should I answer yes or no?

Is this a trick question?

Maybe she has some sort of masochistic fetish and enjoys being called ugly?

Yes, that must be it!

Just as An Lin was about to reply with something along the lines of 'you're not beautiful, you're actually quite ugly', he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tian Lingling out of the corner of his eyes, mouthing to him the words, "Say yes."

An Lin immediately changed tack. "Yes, you are extremely beautiful! Like an angel standing atop a snowy mountain, your beauty is of the utmost purity!"

Dongfang Xue clearly did not expect An Lin to not only give her a reply, but also to make an analogy in his description. A light blush crept onto her face, and she was clearly very satisfied with An Lin's answer.

An Lin was a little baffled this time.

My God, praising her beauty was all it took?

What kind of dumb question was that? Could this really even be considered a test?

"Big Sister Dongfang, you see, Fake Daoist Priest has already passed your test and officially became one of your loyal fans, so couldn't you give him a personal autograph to commemorate the occasion?" Tian Lingling wrapped her arms around Dongfang Xue, getting down to work.

Tian Lingling knew that Dongfang Xue was a big fan of receiving compliments.

To be more precise, you could say that she was a little narcissistic…

Hence, it was always easier to get things done when you complimented her to the extent that she was satisfied.

Although Dongfang Xue was very satisfied, she still shook her head stubbornly upon hearing Tian Lingling's suggestion. "I can't agree to that, you're aware of this as well. I never sign autographs…"

"Aw, pleeeease, just make an exception, for me?"

Tian Lingling stared up at Dongfang Xue with her big watery eyes, trying to whittle down her defenses.

A hint of indecision appeared on Dongfang Xue's face, but she still remained silent.

At this time, An Lin had a flash of brilliance, bringing out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and presenting it to Dongfang Xue.

"Calm Celestial Maiden, in here are seventh-grade spirit pills, Ice Skin Pills. They have the effect of whitening skin, giving its user translucent white skin, just like ice.

"On top of this, it also has the added benefits of modulating metabolic balance, nourishing the ligaments, and clearing the arteries. I have no use for these pills and hence would like to present them to you as a gift."

Upon hearing about the cosmetic benefits, Dongfang Xue's final line of defense was finally vanquished…

"Mr. An, you're too kind."

Despite what she was saying, she'd already reached out and grabbed the pills nonchalantly from An Lin's hands.

Tian Lingling blinked meaningfully to An Lin, as if praising him for his quick thinking.

"Sigh, alright. Seeing as Lingling has already asked me, I'll give you an autograph…"

Dongfang Xue sighed lightly before giving her final answer.

An Lin and Tian Lingling both pumped their fists internally, as they knew they had finally achieved their objective.

"However, you can't tell anyone about this and you can't let anyone see the autograph either. This can only be for your private collection, is that understood?" Dongfang Xue said with a serious expression.

Although An Lin did not know why Dongfang Xue would make such requests, he was sure that his upperclassmen would agree to these conditions, hence he agreed without hesitation.

Just like that, Dongfang Xue produced an intricate card, before signing an autograph with an exaggerated flourish.

Her autograph was extremely smooth, as if it had been signed in one smooth motion.

An Lin and Tian Lingling looked down at Dongfang Xue's autograph, shock appearing on both their faces.

Dongfang Xue's singing was beautiful and she certainly was beautiful herself, but her writing…

Why was it so damn ugly!?

An Lin stared at the messy pile of text on the card, stunned into silence.

Was this some sort of artistic font?

No!

Artistic font was difficult to decipher, but there was beauty to be found in the angles and the structure!

But this signature…

It could only be described as a messy pile!

This was also the first time that Tian Lingling has seen Dongfang Xue's signature. She remained silent for a long while, before finally forcing a sentence out of herself. "Hehe… what a unique signature!"

Dongfang Xue handed the signed card to An Lin, bring her lips to rest beside his ear. "This autograph can only be kept as part of your private collection. If you dare to let others see it, I'll hunt you down and kill you!"

An Lin winced slightly at her words, but could only nod obediently.

He finally understood why Dongfang Xue has never given out autographs…

She'd end up losing fans with a signature like this!

He stared down at the autograph, pondering to himself in silence.

Try as he might, he could only detect the slightest outline of the three characters 'Dongfang Xue'.

If he was to give this to someone, they'd probably completely refuse to believe that this was Dongfang Xue's personal autograph.

If he was to give this to his upperclassman…

Would he accuse An Lin of treating him like a retard and force An Lin to return the several hundred spirit stones in anger?

The more he thought about it, the more concerned he became.

Yes, An Lin suspected that he'd received a fake autograph…

However, An Lin soon forgot these worries.

The reason being that this was indeed Dongfang Xue's personal signature, not only that, it was also her first ever autograph.

"Calm Celestial Maiden, could you please sign another one for me?"

An Lin stared at Dongfang Xue with hope in his expression.

Dongfang Xue was a little dazed at his request. "Why?"

"Because…" An Lin began to blush a little, "because I plan to carry one with me at all times and leave another on my bedside table."

Tian Lingling's mouth widened from shock upon hearing this. She was even beginning to doubt her ears a little.

My God… what is An Lin thinking? Could it be that he really is interested in that excuse of a signature?

Dongfang Xue was immediately rooted to the spot by An Lin's words.

She was, of course, completely aware of just how terrible her own signature was, and that was why she refused to sign autographs for anyone.

But the man standing in front of her, in spite of her terrible autograph, had asked for a second one!

What kind of situation is this? Could it be that her writing became beautiful overnight?

No…

This was love!

This was the unconditional type of love where you loved everything about the person, regardless of their strengths or flaws.

A hint of a blush emerged on Dongfang Xue's face as her heart rate began to quicken.

Tian Lingling looked on from the sidelines, feeling more and more dumbfounded.

Holy f*ck!

Did Big Sister Dongfang just get picked up?

"Okay, I'll do it." Dongfang Xue said softly, the tone of her voice was at least ten times more mellow than what it was at the beginning!

It's over, she's completely head over heels!

Tian Lingling was completely defeated by An Lin this time.

An Lin did not seem to be a flirtatious guy, but he'd somehow managed to woo Dongfang Xue, who was renowned for her cold, distant demeanor!?

An Lin did not notice all this. He gratefully accepted Dongfang Xue's second autograph, planning to give this one to his upperclassman.

As for her maiden autograph…

An item of such commemorative value had to be placed into his own possession of course!

This was the resolution universal to all retarded superfans. No matter how hideous it was, it was still an autograph from his idol!

"Ding Dong!"

Right at this moment, a notification tone sounded in his system.

An Lin opened the system, surprised to find the 'Special Missions' tab flashing.

Chapter 75: I Want to Sing!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Special mission: Detected that host is present at a concert venue, now assigning the mission below:

"Perform a song that is wholeheartedly enjoyed by eighty thousand concert-goers.

"Mission Success: Receive a celestial cultivation method: Divine Inspection Technique.

"Mission Failure: Host must adopt the title of Fairy.

"Note: This mission cannot be rejected."

An Lin: "…"

An Lin seriously felt like smashing the system.

Him becoming Fairy An Lin?

He'd rather die than adopt such a title!

The system either remained silent or gave him all these stupid missions! Has it come under the bad influence of Xiao Hong?

To sing a song that was wholeheartedly enjoyed by eighty thousand people?

For f*ck's sake, the whole concert can probably only take eighty thousand at max capacity!

Even if Dongfang Xue was extremely popular and all the seats in the venue were filled as a result, he still had to sing something that was to everyone's liking.

This was simply far too difficult!

Although An Lin's singing wasn't bad, he couldn't compare to Dongfang Xue…

Dongfang Xue's singing had already elevated everyone's expectations through the roof, to now sing something that was enjoyed by everyone immediately following Dongfang Xue's brilliant performance…

That was simply impossible!

Did you know why there were so few singers that came to collaborate with Dongfang Xue at her concerts?

It was because the audience would always draw comparisons between Dongfang Xue and the collaborative singer, and be disappointed by the stark contrast, prompting them to say things like:

"So this is (insert singer's name)? What's this trash that they're singing!?"

Most renowned singers did not dare to collaborate with Dongfang Xue for fear that their reputations would be swept to the ground.

It was instead the singers that weren't very popular that often performed during the rest intervals at Dongfang Xue's concerts, simply as they had nothing to lose anyway.

Their objective was, of course, simply to strive for more screen-time. Things like reputation and the audience's reaction were not important to them.

The audience did not have very high expectations for these singers, treating them as mere fodder anyway. As long as they did not sing out of tune, it was ok.

If An Lin was to come on to the stage to perform now, he would undoubtedly be treated as fodder as well…

In the face of Dongfang Xue's halo of superiority… and the audience's halo of debilitation…

Under the effect of both these halos, to sing something that would win over the audience…

He only wanted to say one thing, f*ck this system! If you wanted to make me Fairy An Lin, just tell me, why go through such a roundabout route!?

An Lin fell into deep despair but had no choice to accept reality.

Abandon all hope, then await a future transformation?

No!

Although there was very little hope, he definitely couldn't give up!

An Lin would never bend to the will of another!

The system had completely ignited his fighting spirit. He wanted to struggle! He wanted to fight!

"Calm Celestial Maiden, I want to sing on stage!" An Lin said to the classical beauty in front of him.

"What!?"

Tian Lingling immediately let out a surprised yell.

Wasn't An Lin here to obtain a signature? Why did he suddenly want to sing at Dongfang Xue's concert!?

A hint of shock also flashed in Dongfang Xue's eyes, but a glow of excitement soon took its place. "I can arrange that, when would you like to take the stage?"

"I'd like to take the stage after you finish your next song. If it's possible, could you please talk me up a little bit before you exit the stage…" An Lin became more and more embarrassed as he stated his request.

Dongfang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "Sure thing, do you have any notable singing achievements or prizes and awards? I can't just make stuff up."

An Lin cleared his throat. "Cough… I was the champion of the Shan City Eighth Middle School Singing Competition, does that count…?"

Dongfang Xue: "…"

Tian Lingling: "…"

There was a shared sentiment in their hearts. Of course that didn't f*cking count!

This was a concert for Dongfang Xue, the most popular singer in the Hua Nation, perhaps even the whole continent!

You want her to brag to the audience about some middle school singing competition award?

To brag about this kind of bullsh*t award, you might as well go kill yourself!

"Cough." Dongfang Xue almost involuntarily choked on her own saliva.

She forced a smile onto her face. "Mr. An, just leave your opening introduction to me. I hope you can perform well tonight. Tell Ms. Liu which song you would like to perform and she'll take care of the rest…"

An Lin nodded with a solemn expression.

As long as Dongfang Xue talked him up a little bit, the eighty thousand fans might regard him as more than just fodder, perhaps high-grade food, or even celestial food!

As a result, the effects of the audience's halo of debilitation would be weakened significantly!

The issue of the halo of debilitation appeared to be resolved.

But what about Dongfang Xue's halo of superiority?

He couldn't just ask her to intentionally sing badly on stage, then step on the stage himself and show her up.

To do something like this, not only would his conscience not allow it, Dongfang Xue would most likely immediately refuse.

She was a narcissist, there was no way she'd ruin her own reputation like that!

An Lin was at a bit of a loss.

Even if the audience were to regard him as a serious singer and not some sideshow, what could he do to win them over?

Use his skills as the middle school singing champion to win them over?

Even though An Lin's vocal cords had received a significant improvement now that he was a cultivator at the Tenth Stage Dao Body, he had to admit, his singing skills were nowhere near Dongfang Xue's level.

If you were to compare him to some other run-of-the-mill singer, he'd do fine.

But this was Dongfang Xue! A singer standing at the pinnacle of the industry!

This was her concert, and the audience was used to hearing singing of her absurdly high quality. An Lin had no hope at all of winning the audience over with his pathetic singing skills.

Aside from his singing skills, what else could he utilize?

Something that could instantaneously turn the tables, like some sort of trump card…

If he couldn't compete in singing skill alone, all of it came down to song choice then.

He had to choose something that could instantly make the audience's eyes light up, as only then could he achieve an unexpected result.

Suddenly, he thought of a song that was engraved very deeply into his memory.

This was a song that no audience member would've heard of, but it was an extremely moving song.

If it was that song… he'd have a chance!

"Mr. An, I have to take the stage now, hurry up and choose your song!"

Dongfang Xue smiled and waved at An Lin before striding out toward the stage.

After Dongfang Xue had left, Tian Lingling immediately sidled up to An Lin. "Hey, hey, Fake Daoist Priest, what the hell are you doing!? Why do you suddenly want to sing?"

A bitter smile appeared on An Lin's face. "I have no choice. Not only do I have to sing, but I also have to win over an audience of eighty thousand through my singing. If I were to fail, you'd probably be able to see me in female garments every day…"

"Hah?" Tian Lingling's bright eyes widened.

Although she did not know why An Lin had to wear female garments if he were to fail, the thought of it still got her quite excited…

"Mr. An, have you thought about what accompaniment you'd like for your song?" Ms. Liu made her way toward An Lin. It was his turn to take the stage soon so he had to make a decision.

An Lin shook his head. "I don't need any accompaniment!"

"What!?" Ms. Liu stared at An Lin blankly.

"To sing at a concert with no accompaniment?"

Are you kidding!?

Tian Lingling's eyes glowed even brighter. No accompaniment, to win over an audience of eighty thousand with his vocals alone…

Didn't that mean… she'd be able to see An Lin in female garments as soon as tomorrow?

An Lin earnestly nodded his head at Ms. Liu.

What he was about to sing was a song from The United University of Cultivation.

There was no one in the mortal world who knew how to perform the song.

His vocals would just have to suffice.

Chapter 76: Bringing A Song From the Heavens to the Mortal World

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A raucous cheer erupted from the audience as Dongfang Xue came to the conclusion of her song.

She did not immediately leave the stage as she usually did, instead remaining on the stage to make a grand introduction for the next singer.

All the concert-goers were very surprised.

The collaborative singers at Dongfang Xue's concerts were usually announced by the staff at the concerts.

Dongfang Xue normally disappeared like the wind immediately after finishing a song.

But today, she had gone as far as to make a personal introduction for the next singer. This was very bizarre.

The whole audience was abuzz with curiosity, curious as to just what type of singer could justify a personal introduction from Dongfang Xue.

And then, the audience immediately developed a direct impression of the singer soon to take the stage from Dongfang Xue's introduction.

He was a new rising star, one that had a lot of potential!

The song he was about to sing would bring surprise to the audience!

Dongfang Xue exited the stage, handing the microphone to An Lin while casting her gaze on him with encouragement in her eyes. "Go for it!"

An Lin nodded with a slight smile on his face before striding out onto the center of the stage.

His appearance was immediately met with raucous applause and cheers.

If you didn't experience this yourself, there was no way that you could understand just how thrilling it was to be cheered on by so many people.

The collective cheers of eighty thousand audience members had adrenaline pumping through An Lin's veins.

The scorching gazes of eighty thousand fans made him anxious to the extreme.

Countless white glow sticks waved rhythmically in the night, creating a vast expanse of white like a majestic world of snow and ice, or like the endless expanse of a white ocean, creating a scene to be remembered.

This was the first time An Lin had been the center of so much attention. Only now did he know what it felt like to stand atop a stage facing an audience of eighty thousand.

"Hello everyone, my name is An Lin.

"I am going to perform a song called 'Daoist Scripture' tonight, without any accompaniment."

An Lin looked out toward the sea of white and unhurriedly introduced himself whilst calming his nerves.

His words immediately stirred up a massive commotion amongst the audience.

"My God, did I hear that right? He's going to perform without accompaniment at Dongfang Xue's concert?"

"This is the pleasant surprise she promised us? It's not going to be a startling fright, right!?"

"Who is this An Lin? Is there even a singer with such a name in the Hua Nation?"

"I'm more interested in what kind of song 'Daoist Scripture' is. It's not gonna be some sort of religious propaganda song, right…"

"To sing without accompaniment, let's see just what he's got up his sleeve."

…

Not only were the audience members all discussing amongst themselves, even Dongfang Xue, who was looking at An Lin from backstage, received a fright.

Why did An Lin choose a song she'd never heard of? And he was planning to sing without accompaniment… what the f*ck was he plotting!?

"Ms. Liu, what's going on here?" Dongfang Xue asked coldly with her brows tightly furrowed.

Ms. Liu had an awkward expression on her face.

"This was arranged by strong request from Mr. An, and he said that he can hold down the crowd…"

"Hold down the crowd without accompaniment?" Dongfang Xue gazed at the figure on stage, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

This was not some middle school singing competition… This was a concert with an audience of eighty thousand, could he really just fool around like this?

An Lin stood atop the stage at this very moment.

He completely ignored the raucous chatter erupting from the audience. He took a deep breath and slowly began to sing.

"To maintain a calm and empty heart is the key to seeking Dao in this ever-changing world, the world is diverse and convoluted yet everything originates from the same roots, all those around me engage in various ceremonies and rituals to wish for luck and prosperity, but I am like an innocent child with no aspirations nor intentions to join them…"

A clear yet magnetic voice slowly sounded, flowing to all corners of the concert hall.

An Lin began to sing and all eighty thousand audience members heard his voice.

Just like that, the eighty thousand audience members at the concert were collectively stupefied…

"Oh my God, what the hell is he even singing, I can't even understand a single sentence…"

"Well, you're not alone there!"

"I feel like I'm listening to some sort of heavenly scripture… Are these really song lyrics?"

At this moment, a knowledgable member of the audience yelled in surprise.

"I know these lyrics, they really are excerpts from the 'Daoist Scripture'!"

The audience erupted into a frenzy as An Lin began to perform, their voices forming an unceasing crescendo.

This was not because they were rude and disrespected singing…

It was truly because the song lyrics were too peculiar!

However, when they heard the lyrics and experienced the song's rhythm, all of them began to calm down without knowing why.

"Hmm, the rhythm is actually not bad."

"Shush… don't interrupt me, I'm trying to listen!"

"…"

An Lin's voice, accompanied by a mesmerizing rhythm, floated throughout the concert hall.

Although most people did not know what An Lin was singing, each and every syllable and note really seemed to flow through their hearts, drawing them into a special enlightening frame of mind.

The concert hall began to quiet down as the audience began to cease talking.

The only voice in the concert hall belonged to An Lin.

However, right at this moment, the sound of a zither suddenly began playing.

The sound of the instrument was like a pure stream flowing peacefully through the mountains, acting as a perfect accompaniment to An Lin's singing, elevating the song to different heights.

An Lin looked toward the source of the music to find a girl in white garments playing a guqin [1. A type of zither].

The mesmerizing sound of the guqin seemed to flow from her fingers.

It was like a lightly flowing stream, coursing through one's heart, soft and beautiful.

This was the sound of the Daoist Scripture, playing in perfect accompaniment to An Lin.

The girl blinked at An Lin cheekily.

An Lin became slightly dazed.

The beautiful girl in white was none other than Xu Xiaolan.

They both smiled at each other at the same time, as if their hearts were in tandem.

The singing and the sound of the guqin sounded once again.

The sound flowing from Xu Xiaolan's fingertips were like Dao-seeking butterflies, lightly flapping their delicate wings, traversing across the boundaries of life and death.

An Lin's clear and melodious voice seemed to tell an endless story, forever searching for Dao, the years seeming to flash by before everyone's eyes.

It was impossible to describe just what kind of rhythm this was. It was extremely beautiful, seemingly out of this world.

The beautiful melody flowed into the audience's ears. It purified the hearts, spirits, and souls of the eighty thousand audience members.

Not only were the audience members mesmerized by the music, even Dongfang Xue and Tian Lingling sitting backstage were absolutely entranced.

After what could've been an eternity or a fleeting moment, the final note came to an end.

The song came to a conclusion, the last syllable disappearing with the wind.

Just like a butterfly flying lightly into the distance, or like the conclusion of a journey to seek Dao gradually coming to a close.

The song may have ended, but it continued to echo in everyone's mind.

All of the audience members were still mesmerized in their own thoughts, sitting in silence.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands and bowed to the audience.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap…"

Someone suddenly began to clap in the audience.

Immediately afterward, the audience all set aside their glow sticks and began to applaud.

There were no waving glow sticks and no raucous cheers.

Everyone in the audience seemed to have a tacit understanding with one another.

They did not want to ruin the lingering effect of the song with their glow sticks and cheers.

Everyone expressed their emotions through the purest of actions.

In no time at all, the concert hall was filled with applause!

Chapter 77: Divine Inspection Technique

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan slowly made their way backstage amidst the applause.

The audience stared at their receding figures, their eyes filled with burning passion and reluctance to see them depart.

The audience began to come to their senses, all of them extremely animated.

"I've been completely won over by this song."

"I couldn't understand the lyrics, but at the same time, I seemed to be able to understand it in a sense. This is a truly wonderful feeling, words fail to describe what I've just experienced…"

"It really was very good. The rhythm remains clear in my mind, even now."

"Very good doesn't do the song justice, I've never listened to such exquisite music in my life!"

"I'm not sure if this is a pure placebo effect, but I feel like my whole body is at ease after hearing this song…"

"The singer's name is An Lin, right? From this day forth, he's my second idol! I have to look up his profile on Qiandu [1. A play on the Chinese search engine, Baidu]!" Some people had already begun to research An Lin on their phones.

"Although I feel bad for Dongfang Xue, An Lin now shares a spot with her in my heart as my idol!"

"The girl playing the guqin was also very good, anyone have her details?"

"Hmph, he was saying that he was going to sing without accompaniment, but there was clearly a guqin as accompaniment. But seeing as the guqin complemented the music so well, I guess I can forgive An Lin just this once…"

"To be introduced personally by Dongfang Xue, this singer sure is out of the ordinary."

"This really was a pleasant surprise, an extremely pleasant surprise!"

The reaction from the audience was resounding, none of them were sparing with their words of praise.

An Lin's 'Daoist Scripture' had undoubtedly won over the whole audience!

It had also earned him a bunch of fans as well!

…

"Ding Dong!"

"System notification: Mission successfully completed!

"Officially received: Divine Inspection Technique!"

An Lin was ecstatic upon receiving the Divine Inspection Technique. This technique was extremely practical.

The Divine Inspection Technique had a huge number of uses, its effects akin to that of opening the Heavenly Eye.

He could use the Divine Inspection Technique on objects to determine their origin and material.

He could also use the Divine Inspection Technique on other cultivators during battle, thereby determining the properties of their cultivation techniques and even find flaws or weak points.

He could even use the Divine Inspection Technique on spell formations. The origin, conclusion, center, and all its weaknesses would then be as clear as day to him!

This Divine Inspection Technique was just like a life-hack!

It was no wonder that the consequence of failure was to become a fairy. The risks and rewards were indeed balanced.

Now, An Lin had two cultivation techniques on his cultivation interface.

Aside from the Divine Inspection Technique, he also had that Divine Might Technique.

The Divine Might Technique was a technique with a potential for growth, the stronger the cultivation base, the more power the technique would have.

As for its effect… well, it was actually just to release pressure.

As An Lin was now, he would be able to make a cultivator lower than the Fifth Stage Dao Body faint from the pressure released by the Divine Might Technique alone.

It could also make any cultivator under the Tenth Stage Dao Body experience a strong sense of pressure.

To put it more simply, it was a technique that allowed you to flex whilst taking care of small fry.

The technique was not very practical for An Lin at the moment, but the flexing effects would be much more effective when his cultivation base progressed in the future.

Speaking of cultivation base progression, there was a new requirement for progression to the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage on An Lin's God of War System interface.

"Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage—Condition: Consume three beast cores."

Even ignoring why consuming beast cores was a requirement in the first place, An Lin had to consider whether beast cores were even edible.

Simply obtaining three beast cores was a very difficult task in itself.

Beast cores only formed within spirit beasts, whose combat strength would be comparable to cultivators in the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

To obtain a complete beast core, one had to crush the spirit beast with overwhelming strength.

There was no telling what could happen in an evenly-matched fight. Even if you were to slay the spirit beast in combat, it would all come to no avail if the beast core was damaged in the process.

Hence, special methods had to be used to quickly extract the beast core from the spirit beast's body, thereby ensuring a complete beast core can be obtained.

But this was not something that An Lin could do at his level yet.

He could only rely on Xuanyuan Cheng to execute his beast core extraction expertise when he encountered spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts were extremely rare on Earth, so progressing to the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage had to wait until he returned to the Tai Chu Continent.

An Lin calmed his emotions and set his thoughts aside for now.

He looked toward Xu Xiaolan with a smile. "Your sudden appearance was a huge surprise! How did you do it?"

A smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's perfect features. "I was at the concert venue anyway because I wanted to hear the singing of the most popular singer in the mortal world. Who would have thought that the next singer she introduced to take the stage would be you? Haha, I was actually quite surprised too.

"However, after discovering that you were going to perform 'Daoist Scripture'…

"How can this song be performed without accompaniment? Hence, I decided to stage an appearance and help you in your performance."

Xu Xiaolan said with a smile on her face.

An Lin was extremely touched. If he were to perform the song without accompaniment, he only had a chance of drawing the audience in.

However, with the accompaniment of Xu Xiaolan's guqin, the combination of the two worked in perfect harmony, perfectly expressing the qualities of 'Daoist Scripture'.

And it was exactly because of this that his performance was such a resounding success.

It was no exaggeration to say that Xu Xiaolan had protected his dignity as a man as well as preserving his male bits. This was akin to giving him a second life!

Upon returning backstage, An Lin caught sight of Dongfang Xue and Tian Lingling.

Tian Lingling's impression of An Lin had once again been completely flipped on its head. She immediately latched onto An Lin's arm with admiration in her eyes. "Big Brother An, could you teach me how to sing…"

"What? Not gonna call me Fake Daoist Priest anymore?"

An Lin smiled coldly, a look of scorn akin to that worn by a proud monarch appearing on his face.

But Tian Lingling was completely oblivious to this, continuing to maintain a stranglehold on An Lin's arm.

Dongfang Xue also made her way toward An Lin, shock written all over her face. "Mr. An, what song did you just perform? Why do I feel like my cultivation base has progressed slightly after hearing it…"

She was quite skeptical about whether she had just heard a fake concert.

The feeling An Lin's singing gave her was like listening to a mighty cultivator in person instructing others in the way of the Dao.

Regardless of whether it was the lyrics or the rhythm, all of it was saturated with a type of Daoist mantra, making listeners involuntarily develop a deeper understanding of Dao.

An Lin produced a hardcover Heavenly Court copy of the 'Daoist Scripture' before handing it to Dongfang Xue with a smile on his face.

"Read this book whilst circulating your vital energy and you'll be able to experience the rhythm and mantra of Dao present in the book."

This was a book that everyone in The United University of Cultivation had a copy of. Frequent reading of the book was beneficial in helping students achieve a deeper understanding of Dao. It could also be performed as a song, thereby allowing listeners to also experience the benefits of the book.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had read the book countless times and already knew it back to front.

It was exactly because of this that they could work together so harmoniously on the stage.

"Thank you, An Lin."

Dongfang Xue gladly accepted the copy of 'Daoist Scripture', cradling the book in her chest as if it was some sort of valuable treasure.

Tian Lingling's objective for nagging An Lin was simply to get him to teach her how to sing 'Daoist Scripture'.

Now that Dongfang Xue had a copy of the book, she immediately shifted targets, diving onto Dongfang Xue's lap. "Big Sister Dongfang, let's go and read!"

"Sure." Dongfang Xue smiled sweetly and rubbed Tian Lingling's short brown hair before leading her to a room down the back.

"Bye-bye, Fake Daoist Priest!"

Tian Lingling made a face to An Lin, then walked away with Dongfang Xue without even turning her head.

An Lin could only look at Tian Lingling speechlessly. The rate at which she switched targets was truly astounding!

Lastly, he and Xu Xiaolan merged into the audience and listened to the rest of Dongfang Xue's concert together.

…

That night.

The scene of the white sea of glow sticks at the concert venue, coupled with Dongfang Xue's beautiful singing was engraved deeply into his heart.

Performing together on stage with Xu Xiaolan also became a treasured memory.

Chapter 78: Father's Gambling Debt

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The mission assigned by the Heavenly Court had been successfully completed, as had all the shopping duties delegated to him by An Lin's upperclassmen.

It could be said that now An Lin did not have a care in the world and had regained his freedom.

On a bright and sunny day, he put on some casual clothes and embarked on a bus journey to Shan City.

All the assignments from the Heavenly Court were completed.

It was now time to tie up all the loose ends in the mortal world.

Come to think of it, if it wasn't for his bastard of a father accumulating four million two hundred thousand in gambling debts, he wouldn't have had a chance to encounter the brand new world that he was now a part of.

An Lin's father was named An Mingchuan. He was previously the boss of a small construction company.

Prior to his mother's death, An Lin's life was quite good, they were at least not short of money.

However, a traffic accident resulted in his mother's death.

His father also became extremely despondent due to the tragedy, even starting to gamble to relieve the pressure and escape the emotional aftermath.

Gambling bred greed, and his father was not an exception to this rule.

All gamblers wanted to win more and more, this was, however, only to be the precursor for heavier losses in the future.

Gambled away all your assets? No problem, put the house on a mortgage and strive to win everything back.

Finally, the house was also inevitably gambled away.

What could they do now? They couldn't just sleep on the streets, could they?

He had to win the house back!

The vicious cycle he fell into eventually resulted in a debt of four million two hundred thousand…

There was no way to repay all that debt, so he could only run.

Prior to running away, An Mingchuan had given An Lin a call. "Lin, I've accumulated some debt and have gone into hiding. You should hurry up and find somewhere to hide as well!"

An Lin: "Dad, how much do you owe?"

An Mingchuan: "Four million two hundred thousand!"

An Lin: "…

"What the f*ck! Have you gone crazy!?"

An Lin slammed the phone down in anger.

If he were to hide now, what would he do about his classes at Hua Qing University?

The person owing the debt was his father, why should he have to hide?

Hence, An Lin chose to continue going to classes.

Thereafter, he was captured by the debt collectors…

To them, the law didn't exist and they immediately forced him to work in grueling manual labor.

It didn't matter if An Mingchuan did not repay his debt, as his son was here repaying his debt for him.

The longer you delayed your debt repayment, the more your son was going to be tortured!

Thus, An Lin couldn't withstand the torture and escaped.

Finally, on top of that building, he met the person that would completely change his life.

As An Lin walked upon the hilly path to Shan City, his mind was basking in memories.

It was only less than a year that had passed since then, but it felt like an extremely long time to him.

Past events began to resurface in his memory, seemingly as if they were fragments of a past life.

Finally, he arrived at the entrance of a tall building.

An Lin raised his head to read the plaque on the building. On the plaque was written words that read, Hongda Construction and Investment Corporation.

"Sigh, this is the place." An Lin sighed lightly before striding in.

…

In the luxuriously-furnished office sat a man who looked to be in his fifties, looking at the company's quarterly report as he sipped on some tea.

He was Zhang Hongtao, the boss of the company.

Suddenly, the phone began to ring.

Zhang Hongtao picked up the phone upon seeing that the call was from the front desk.

"Mr. Zhang, there is a young man by the name of An Lin that would like to see you."

"Cough…"

Zhang Hongtao choked on his tea. "An Lin? Quick! Let him in!"

There was a brawny man standing by the table and his eyes lit up upon hearing An Lin's name. "This little sh*t disappears for a few months and now he's voluntarily handing himself in?"

The brawny man's name was Huang Feibiao, and he was the person leading the chase when An Lin escaped.

Not long after, a young man knocked on the door before walking into the room.

Both Zhang Hongtao and Huang Feibiao were a little taken aback upon seeing An Lin.

He still looked like he did before, but the air about him seemed completely different

An Lin now seemed to have a sense of self-confidence and determination, which was a stark contrast to the weakling he was.

"An Lin, who would have thought that you would come here." Zhang Hongtao looked at An Lin with a smile on his face.

This was a place that had left him with extremely painful memories. An Lin had tried everything to escape back when he was still being held captive here.

But today, he had come here of his own choosing, which was truly quite a surprise for Zhang Hongtao.

"Actually, I'm here to repay some debt." An Lin said as he fished out a bank card.

"Repay debt? What debt?" Zhang Hongtao's expression was filled with confusion.

An Lin was also taken aback upon hearing his response.

Are you f*cking serious? How could you just forget several million dollars worth of debt!?

"To repay the four million two hundred thousand." An Lin's lips spasmed slightly as he said this through gritted teeth.

For f*ck's sake!

He had prepared to really flex and show off by throwing the bank card onto the table.

But Zhang Hongtao was clearly completely baffled, just what in the hell was he thinking?

At this time, Huang Feibiao cut in. "You still haven't met An Mingchuan, right?"

An Lin was confused by his question. "What do you mean by that?"

Huang Feibiao replied, "An Mingchuan has already repaid all of his debt."

An Lin's pupils contracted drastically upon hearing this. "How is that possible? It's only been less than a year, where would he have gotten more than four million from?"

"That's something that we don't know. You should just hurry up and go see him!

"He comes every once in a while to demand we release you and defame our reputation, saying that we wouldn't release you even after having the debt repaid.

"But you really did disappear, what could we do? I get a massive headache every time I see your father now!"

Zhang Hongtao said with a look of resignation.

"Then, do you know where he is? And how to contact him?" An Lin continued.

Prior to going into hiding, his father had already changed phone numbers. An Lin had no clue where he could be at the moment.

Zhang Hongtao smiled wryly. "We don't know his address, but we do have his phone number. Please call him as soon as possible so he doesn't come to bother us again."

…

An Lin did not immediately call the number he was given.

He walked out of the Hongda Construction and Investment Corporation building and instead called another number.

"Hello, is this Huang Shanshan? I need you to do me a favor.

"Yes… Please help me investigate An Mingchuan, he's my father. Please give me all the information on him you can find.

"Alright, thank you."

He hung up the phone and took a deep breath, walking aimlessly on the road.

The sun was extremely bright, searing the earth with its heat.

But he did not take notice of this. His mind was completely occupied by thoughts of his father.

In all honesty, the last thing he expected was that his father would repay his debts himself.

This made him develop very mixed feelings. There was now a lot less hatred, but a lot more worry and joy.

Could it be that his bastard of a father had somehow turned over a new leaf?

…

After two hours, Huang Shanshan called back with some very detailed information.

His father was only able to repay his debt by borrowing from his friends.

One of his especially good friends loaned him close to a million.

The rest also borrowed him bits and pieces, thus accumulating to a total of more than four million.

It was also kudos to his father that he was a very generous person himself who'd helped a lot of his friends in their times of need, otherwise it would've been very difficult to borrow so much money in such a short time.

He was now at Lanhai Construction Company and had assumed the role of project vice manager for a residential area project for the company.

He would work at the construction site during the day, then take on some design-related jobs to earn some extra money to repay his debt.

An Lin immediately recorded the address upon receiving this information and began to make his way there.

As day transitioned into night, the heat of the day began to dissipate and the temperature dropped slightly.

The construction site was quite far from the city, and his father was living in a standard worker's cabin on the construction site.

There was all sorts of stuff cluttered in the room of about 20 square meters in size.

But everything had been organized neatly, with no trace of messiness.

An Lin had already arrived at the entrance of the cabin but did not go in.

He silently looked at the familiar figure of his father through the window.

Chapter 79: Dad, I'll Care for You in the Future

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although they had only been apart for one year, An Lin's eyes still brimmed with tears when he saw that figure.

Why is half of his hair white? He's only fifty years old!

Many of the white hairs lay nestled amongst tuffs of black, making them appear especially glaring. They were like silver needles, stinging painfully at An Lin.

It's only been a year! What could've made dad change so much?

After cooking a bowl of hot and spicy noodles, An Mingchuan turned on the television and started watching it as he ate.

He really liked watching television as he ate. He felt that the sound formed by the television and the slurping of the noodles would increase one's appetite.

Even looking at it now, some of his habitual actions still hadn't changed at all.

For example, before eating his noodles, he would rub his hands together then pick up his chopsticks.

Seeing this, a familiar feeling rushed into An Lin's mind.

When he was small, he also liked to copy his dad's action of rubbing his hands together before eating noodles.

His mom would sit to the side and look on in amusement at father and son.

That was an extremely comforting feeling. It was a pity that he could never experience it again.

On the television, a beautiful anchorwoman was delivering some entertainment news.

"During Dongfang Xue's Asia tour yesterday, a mysterious singer called An Lin appeared.

"His song, 'Daoist Scripture', caused the stadium to go into raptures.

"This song has swiftly risen to the top of various music charts.

"Now, let us enjoy An Lin's 'Daoist Scripture' together!"

When An Mingchuan heard this, his hands trembled slightly.

He looked up and fixed his gaze on the television.

The image changed to that of the concert, and a familiar face appeared before him.

An Mingchuan's eyes widened, so much so that wrinkles appeared on his forehead. Even his breathing became labored.

An Lin was singing a capella at the start, and the pleasant sound of his singing flowed out from the television.

Carrying with it a graceful melody and a shred of vicissitude, his clear voice reverberated throughout the entire room.

Not listening to this song live and in person, the conception of dao would be lost.

However, just the melody of 'Daoist Scripture' made it a superb song.

As a result, after being uploaded online, it was met with great fervor.

The noodles which had just been cooked were still steaming hot.

However, the slurping sounds of noodles being eaten vanished, and only the sound of An Lin's singing remained.

The noodles between An Mingchuan's chopsticks had already become cold, yet he was completely oblivious to this.

It was unclear whether he was enchanted by the singing or enchanted by that familiar figure.

Finally, An Lin held hands with the girl who played the guqin and they bowed slightly to the crowd. They left the stage under rapturous applause.

The image on the television once again cut back to the anchorwoman. She was just starting to comment on the phenomenon caused by the song.

Regaining his senses, An Mingchuan was animated as he picked up his phone and once again dialed that familiar number.

"Sorry, the number that you have dialed is unavailable…"

…

He cut a desolate figure as he put his phone down. He picked up his chopsticks again. With his head lowered, he sniffed and rubbed his eyes. "Why are these noodles so spicy? Even my nose and eyes are stinging…" he murmured.

An Lin watched as the male continued to eat the noodles with his head lowered, and he also wiped at his eyes. Just like how he copied his dad in rubbing his hands before eating noodles, this action was also identical, just like in the past.

In this past year, he would often grumble about how he was screwed over by his dad.

If it wasn't for his b*stard dad, he wouldn't have been forced to withdraw from school, nor would he have been captured and forced to suffer.

However, what he overlooked was how his dad had cared for him in the past.

He was also unable to witness how he begged, or even cast aside his dignity, to borrow money.

Moreover, he didn't know why in just one years time, half of his dad's hair had gone white.

Perhaps the only thing that An Lin knew was that every few days, his dad would go to Hongda Construction and Investment Corporation to beg Director Zhang for the release of his son.

This was in spite of the fact that his dad probably knew in his mind that his son was already not there…

…

His dad was indeed a b*stard for being addicted to gambling.

However, as his son, what had An Lin ever done for him?

Up till now, he hadn't helped him do a single thing.

It appeared as though all the responsibility and burden was shouldered by his father alone…

…

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Hearing someone knock, An Mingchuan slowly got up and went to open the door.

After opening the door, what greeted him was an extremely familiar face.

He was completely dazed. He gripped the doorknob tightly and his entire body started trembling.

"L-little Lin, you're back?"

An Mingchuan's lips quivered as he spoke, and he stared dazedly at the youth in front of him.

An Lin's eyes were slightly red. He squeezed out a smile and lightly punched the male's chest. "I've finally found you, you gambling addict! What, you're going to stand in the doorway and not invite me inside?"

"Ah, come in, come in!" Afraid that An Lin would leave, An Mingchuan pulled him inside and grabbed him a chair.

Seeing An Lin sit down, An Mingchuan also excitedly sat down next to him.

As if looking at some beautiful woman, his eyes were completely transfixed on An Lin.

"Little Lin, are you hungry? Do you want dad to make you some noodles?" An Mingchuan asked expectantly.

"Sure, I haven't had dinner yet," An Lin nodded.

Hearing this, An Mingchuan ran to the kitchen cheerily and started bustling about.

Seeing the figure bustle about in the kitchen and smelling the fragrant aroma, An Lin gradually calmed down.

Not long later, a steaming bowl of noodles was placed before him.

An Mingchuan had also gotten some more noodles for himself. "I'll eat with you," he chuckled.

They sat at the same table and the sounds of slurping could be heard as they ate. Their eyes were both stung red by the spicy noodles.

"Little Lin, it's all dad's fault that you had to suffer so much…

"How about… you return to school! Leave the other matters to dad, I definitely won't affect your studies again!" An Mingchuan suddenly said.

An Lin was moved by this, and he glanced up at his dad.

"Dad, didn't you watch TV? I'm a famous singer now. It's fine even if I don't go to university," An Lin replied.

Hearing this, An Mingchuan became anxious. "Little Lin, listen to me. Finish your education first. In this day and age, knowledge is the most important thing.

"Once you have knowledge, no matter what happens, you can still lead a good life.

"Look at me. Even though I lost my business, I can still fall back on my skills to make big bucks.

"Your dad's here to help, you don't need to earn money by singing. Money is not an issue for us, why don't you return to studying!"

After saying this, a smile emerged on his face which had been tanned dark by the sun, and a bright glimmer appeared in his eyes.

Dad's here to help…

Yeah, this feeling of having someone to rely on feels so good…

No matter what happens, there's always someone standing in front of you, shielding you from the wind and rain.

How long has it been since I've had this feeling? I've finally returned after having wandered about for a year.

Seeing his aged dad utter this, an indescribable warmth enveloped his heart.

An Lin smiled. However, the tears which were welled up in his eyes fell down uncontrollably.

He felt that this was his true home, this was where he truly belonged.

…

An Lin was a cultivator and he could sense his father's condition.

After overexerting himself at work day after day, his dad's body was already extremely battered.

That aged appearance and those white hairs were all a result of overexertion and mental pressure.

If he still let his dad continue on like this, then why did he bother cultivating?!

An Lin grabbed his dad's hand and said with a look of determination, "Dad, I'll care for you in the future!"

Chapter 80: Let's Cultivate Together!

"You'll care for me…?"

An Mingchuan shuddered and he looked at An Lin dazedly.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, I've already told you, dad doesn't need you to earn money by singing. You should go and complete university first."

"That's not what I meant. I don't plan on making money by singing either," An Lin said firmly.

"What I meant was, I'm already rich now, I can care for you."

Saying this, An Lin fished out a bank card from his pocket. "There's around three hundred and fifty million yuan in here. Use it however you want, we're not short on cash!"

An Mingchuan became dazed once again.

He stared at the card and after a long time, finally spoke hesitantly. "Little Lin, now's not the time to kid around…"

An Lin shook his head seriously. "I'm not kidding around. Dad, if you really don't believe me, then we can go and check the balance on an ATM right now."

An Mingchuan stared at An Lin. From An Lin's expression, An Mingchuan could tell that he wasn't lying to him.

After a moment, An Mingchuan said solemnly, "Little Lin, tell me the truth. Where did you get this money from?

"Did you win the lottery, or did you win it through godly gambling skills?"

An Lin felt his chest get stuffy. "We'll still be on good terms if you don't mention gambling…"

An Mingchuan smiled awkwardly. However, he truly couldn't understand how An Lin could make more than three hundred million in under a year.

Even if he could make money by singing, didn't An Lin just debut? How could he make so much money?

An Lin knew that An Mingchuan was puzzled, so he said honestly, "Dad, to tell you the truth, I'm a cultivator now! As for these worldly possessions, I can have however much I want!"

Hearing this, An Mingchuan blinked his eyes. "Can you say that again?"

"I said… I'm cultivating now," An Lin repeated.

"You know, like those immortals in the dramas?" An Lin repeated.

"Oh, I get it!" An Mingchuan exclaimed in realization. "Are you saying that you're an actor now? And your role is to act as an immortal who cultivates?"

An Lin: "…"

He knew that if he didn't show off a move or two, his dad wouldn't believe him.

"Dad, watch me!"

Hearing this, An Mingchuan looked toward An Lin.

An Lin made a hand seal. Suddenly, as if they had been tugged on by something, the noodles in the bowl started jiggling about.

Immediately afterward, as if they had a life of their own, the noodles jumped up and flew into his mouth.

Noodles and soup flowed into his mouth continuously. All he needed to do was sit there and chew…

An Mingchuan was stunned. His mouth hung wide open and it was as if he had seen a ghost.

He never would've expected that noodles could be eaten in such a way!

After enjoying a few mouthfuls of noodles, An Lin chuckled, "How's that?"

"Darn impressive! What kind of magic trick was that?"

An Mingchuan was full of praise. He had never seen such an amazing close-up magic trick before.

An Lin winced. Lightning suddenly sparked in his hands, and an arc of electricity snaked out.

Seeing the arc of electricity snake about An Lin's fingertips, An Mingchuan was once again stunned.

Immediately afterward, the arc of electricity jumped toward the table.

Boom!

The table was charred black by this bolt of electricity.

An Mingchuan touched the dining table and like a pile of black sand, it crumbled onto the floor.

The two bowls of noodles also fell toward the floor. However, they didn't shatter as expected, rather, they were mysteriously suspended in mid-air.

An Lin flicked his hands and the two bowls of noodles flew onto the kitchen bench.

Then, An Lin snapped his fingers.

A ball of flames appeared and burnt the design diagrams on An Mingchuan's desk to ashes.

An Lin made a slicing motion with his hand.

A wind blade flew out from his hand and slashed the television into two.

…

One after another, An Lin cast an overwhelming amount of immortal spells.

An Mingchuan's outlook on the world was severely challenged. Finally, his deep-rooted beliefs started to crumble.

He believed it… he finally believed that his son was an immortal!

An Lin had almost destroyed this entire room using his immortal spells, how could he not believe it?!

Seeing that his dad finally believed him, An Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, he seriously did consider destroying this makeshift house using his Mountain Quaking Fist.

Afterward, An Lin started to talk tirelessly about his experiences.

He told his father everything—how he met the immortal, his life at The United University of Cultivation, as well as the reason for him descending into the mortal world.

An Mingchuan exclaimed in marvel. He never imagined that his son would experience so many things in just one year.

Seeing that the time was ripe, An Lin said, "Dad, let's cultivate together! I'll let you flex with me, I'll fly you along!"

Cultivate?

If An Mingchuan heard this before, he would definitely deem it as fantastical and regard the person saying it as unreasonable.

Now, however, everything was turned on its head.

Immortals really did exist and he had a chance of becoming one himself. How could he give up such an opportunity?!

"But, isn't my age already unsuited for cultivating?" An Mingchuan asked hesitantly.

"It's true that you're unsuited because of your age. Your cultivation speed will be much slower…"

There was a look of determination on An Lin's face and he continued, "However, I've already said this. I'll care for you in the future.

"So what if you're old? Elixirs, spirit stones, and cultivation methods can all remedy this drawback.

"Trust me, dad. One day, I'll definitely take you with me and soar above the highest heavens!"

Looking at the face which was no longer soft and immature, An Mingchuan was especially touched.

Finally, he loosened up and chuckled, "Little Lin, dad believes you!"

…

After An Lin's dad agreed to cultivate, they started to repay the money which they had borrowed.

In addition, they gave quite a bit of interest to the lenders.

After all, friends who were willing to help them through such dire times were deserving of this reward.

…

The next day, An Lin rang up Huang Shanshan.

Between the mortal world cultivation sects and the National Cultivation Department, he ended up choosing the National Cultivation Department.

This was as the cultivation sects of the mortal world were basically independent of the Heavenly Court, with barely any communication between them. On the other hand, the National Cultivation Department had direct relations with the Heavenly Court.

An Lin was a member of the Heavenly Court, so leaving his dad with the National Cultivation Department could better ensure his safety.

"Oi, An Lin, have you found your dad yet?" Huang Shanshan's exhausted voice sounded from the phone.

"M-hm, thanks, I've found him now. It's like this, I want to have my dad cultivate over at your National Cultivation Department. Is that alright?" An Lin asked anxiously.

Normally, cultivation departments all had specialized teachers. However, there would definitely be a lot of hindrances when trying to teach someone as old as his dad. Perhaps they still needed to ask for the teachers' opinions first.

To his surprise, Huang Shanshan agreed readily. "No worries. When do you plan on coming? I'll send someone to meet your father."

Hearing this, An Lin was overjoyed. "How about tomorrow then. My dad and I will wait for you guys at Chongqing tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll get in touch with you then." Huang Shanshan's reply was frank as always.

Just as An Lin was about to hang up, her voice suddenly sounded again. "Wait!"

"Huh, what's the matter?" An Lin questioned.

"I suddenly remembered something. If your dad cultivates here, ordinary classes are provided for free. However, apart from this, there are still other levels of guidance," Huang Shanshan explained.

"There's still such a thing? Tell me about it." An Lin didn't expect for there to be different levels of guidance over at where she cultivated.

"The first type of cultivation guidance is standard-level guidance. This is provided by our department's elite teachers. In addition, various elixirs and high-level cultivation methods are provided. Members from our special operations department receive this type of guidance. As a lot of resources are needed, this guidance costs an extra one hundred spirit stones per year.

"The second type of cultivation guidance is high-level guidance. This is provided by the best teacher in our department. By the way, he's also my teacher. During cultivation, the department will provide the best elixirs as well as the best cultivation methods. As a result, a huge amount of resources are needed. This guidance costs an extra one thousand spirit stones per year."

"…"

There was a moment of silence.

"That's all?"

Huang Shanshan was a bit taken aback. "Yeah, that's all. What else do you want?"

"Isn't there the kind where you have to pay ten thousand spirit stones per year? You know, gold-class super VIP guidance?"

Huang Shanshan: "…

"No! Get lost!"

"Oh… Then I'll just go with the high-level guidance," An Lin replied.

Huang Shanshan's exasperated murmur could be heard on the other end.

"Sigh… It's only one thousand spirit stones a year. Can my dad really be taught properly?"

Hearing this, Huang Shanshan almost burst into tears.

What the f*ck?! Is one thousand spirit stones very cheap?!

Can't you think before you speak? This is extremely vexing!

Say, how much money does An Lin actually have? Is he a tycoon of the cultivation world?

An Lin doesn't look upon me like he would look upon a beggar, right?!

Huang Shanshan felt all the more like a poor ass. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She didn't even feel like cussing anymore.

"If you've got nothing else to add, I'm going to hang up." Huang Shanshan felt that if she kept speaking to An Lin, her dao heart 1 would be affected.

"Mmm, okay. I'll pay you one thousand two hundred spirit stones a year."

"The extra two hundred is just a small gratuity for you. I hope you can help my dad out a bit more."

…

After she hung up, Huang Shanshan looked toward the sky and sniffed.

What was with this happy yet grievous feeling?

Chapter 81: Rest In Peace, Green River Sword Immortal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin and his dad strolled around Chongqing for a day, going from Gele Mountain to Hongyadong, and finally going to the Liberation Monument to gaze at beauties.

The father and son had a lot they wanted to talk about, and they talked tirelessly as they strolled about.

Because his father was about to set foot into the cultivation world, An Lin talked more about the general nature of the cultivation world, as well as about the interesting things that happened there.

However, his dad's focus lay elsewhere.

In this one day, he had encouraged An Lin to chase after Xu Xiaolan eight times…

When his dad was watching TV, the girl standing next to An Lin had already left him a very good impression.

Moreover, in these two days, he learned from An Lin that Xu Xiaolan had helped him out quite a bit…

Where else can one find such a considerate and perfect girl? It'll be best if she becomes my daughter-in-law!

To this, An Lin could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The journey of cultivation was a long one; who urged one to marry before twenty-years-old?

…

The next day, Huang Shanshan personally came to Chongqing.

An Lin retrieved from his storage ring some elixirs which his dad could use, and he handed these to her.

In addition, he gave his dad two thousand spirit stones to spend.

He didn't care whether or not his dad needed that much. At any rate, he could spend it freely however he liked.

He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to descend into the mortal world a second time next year, thus, he directly paid off three years of guidance fees, giving Huang Shanshan a total of three thousand six hundred spirit stones.

Huang Shanshan was once again in awe at An Lin's wealth.

Her hands were trembling as she put the pile of spirit stones into her storage ring.

Never would she have imagined that there would be a day when her storage ring was stuffed full of spirit stones.

Although this was only an ordinary storage ring with a space of ten feet in radius, it was still a very shocking sight.

Seeing that Huang Shanshan had a storage ring, An Lin was slightly surprised.

In the mortal world, spatial magic treasures such as storage rings were extremely luxurious items.

Even a storage ring with a space of just ten feet in radius was extremely rare.

This could be seen from the fact that none of the four Demon Kings had owned storage rings.

The fact that Huang Shanshan had a personal storage ring meant that she could already be regarded as an extremely wealthy cultivator in the mortal world.

An Lin reluctantly parted with his father.

Watching his father's disappearing figure, a certain conviction in his mind became even stronger.

"Dad, next time I descend into the mortal world, I'll definitely bring you better spirit pills and elixirs. I'll let you eat them like lollies!"

For some reason, he felt a lot better after saying these proud words.

When your parents are alive, your roots still exist and you still have a home to return to; when your parents are gone, your spiritual home disappears and all that is left is the journey toward death.

An Lin didn't want to become someone without a family.

On his dao-seeking journey, he wanted to be accompanied by those dear to him, as that would make it a very blessed experience.

And if he wanted his dad to keep walking down this path of cultivation, he had to pull his socks up and make a great effort to become stronger!

…

An Lin took out his phone and dialed Xuanyuan Cheng's number.

A warm and gentle voice traveled into his ears. "Hi, An Lin, what's up?"

"Big Brother Cheng, aren't you researching spell formations? Mind if I join?"

"Aha, I'm on a submarine right now, sorry. The Hidden Dragon Submarine is in an ocean trench in the Pacific right now. This expedition is going to last for two days, so I can't take you along at the moment."

An Lin: "…"

An Lin hung up and started to dial Xu Xiaolan's number.

Amidst a bunch of static, Xu Xiaolan's voice could barely be heard. "Hey, An Lin! What's up?"

"Xiaolan, what are you up to? Let's go spar."

"Aha, I'm busy. Guess where I am right now!"

An Lin: "… On Earth."

"Only half correct! I'm in the sky above Earth. Helicopters are so much fun! Ahahaha…"

An Lin: "…"

What the sh*t?! How was he only half correct then?

No wonder he heard so much static and noise through the phone. It turned out that she was flying a bloody helicopter!

An Lin was a bit disappointed as he hung up. He sighed deeply.

Well, aren't they capable? One is flying high up in the sky, and the other is submerged deep down in the ocean. Only I'm drowned in an ocean of people…

An Lin felt that it would be very troublesome to rank up to the Spirit Nurturing Stage by forming a spirit root himself. It would be far easier to ingest three beast cores.

As such, normal cultivation already didn't appeal to him.

Right now, he only wanted to find someone to spar against so that he could perfect his battle techniques.

Who could he ask?

An Lin opened up WeChat and entered the 'all cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth' groupchat, looking to see if there were any cultivators who wanted to spar.

However, upon opening up the groupchat, he found that there was a huge uproar. They were all discussing a major event.

Daoist Wooden Ox: "Shocking! Taibai Sword Sect was just massacred by the demon tribe!"

Enlightened Lazurite: "… Are you joking? Taibai Sword Sect is one of the top ten cultivation sects here! Although they don't have cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage, they're still very powerful, especially their sect's defensive spell formation. Even if the Demon Emperor went, he wouldn't be able to penetrate such defenses. How could they have been massacred?"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "It's true! My sect also received news of this just then!"

The Savior: "Latest update. The Demon Emperor allied with two Blood Gods and they broke through Taibai Sword Sect's defensive spell formation. The sect leader, Sword Immortal Bai Ling, is already dead, and less than one-tenth of the sect disciples are still alive."

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "As expected, this is related to the Demon Emperor's Flesh and Blood Spirit Tablet plan. I can't believe that they're acting so wantonly in the pursuit of their aims. Do they really think that our nation is weak?!"

Cloud Exploring Daoist: "The sect leaders of the four largest sects—Wudang, Kunlun, Longhu, and Shangqing—have already started a video conference. They're discussing how to target the Demon Emperor. This time, they'll definitely exterminate them once and for all!"

An Lin grimaced when he read this.

Video conference?

Visualizing this, he felt that this image was somehow off.

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "I'm still a bit worried about Green River Sword Immortal."

Seeing this, An Lin suddenly came to a realization. This groupchat's Green River Sword Immortal was none other than the sect leader candidate for Taibai Sword Sect.

If Taibai Sword Sect was massacred, then didn't that mean he was also in danger?!

Golden Jade: "@Green River Sword Immortal, are you okay?"

Afterward, the members of the groupchat all sent @Green River Sword Immortal in succession.

However, there wasn't any reply from Green River Sword Immortal.

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "I called him just then and he didn't pick up either…"

…

Buddhist Abbot Haiyin: "Amitabha! The sentient beings of that land are free from all kinds of suffering, yet enjoy variegated pleasures. Benefactor Green River has just gone to the pure land earlier, my most sincere condolences."

Right after Buddhist Abbot Haiyin sent this, a feeling of grief started to permeate through the chat.

Tears started trickling down the cheeks of countless individuals who had great relationships with Green River Sword Immortal.

Tian Lingling: "Rest in peace, Green River Sword Immortal (candle emoji)."

Calm Celestial Maiden: "Rest in peace, Green River Sword Immortal (candle emoji)."

Enlightened Lazurite: "Rest in peace, Green River Sword Immortal (candle emoji)."

The cultivators in the chat all lined up to send their condolences.

A feeling of grief also welled up in An Lin's heart as he recalled the confident demeanor of Green River Sword Immortal, as well as his imposing figure when he slaughtered the Demon King. Thereupon, he also sent a message in the groupchat.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Rest in peace, Green River Sword Immortal (candle emoji)."

…

Right at this moment, a profile picture popped up…

Green River Sword Immortal: "Holy f*ck! Fellow cultivator An Lin, why are you cursing me?!"

Seeing this message, An Lin's hands started trembling and he almost threw his phone away.

Three seconds later…

Green River Sword Immortal: "Holy f*ck! Why are you all cursing me?!"

…

Enlightened Lazurite: "Holy f*ck!"

Calm Celestial Maiden: "Good Heavens!"

Tian Lingling: "Ah! His corpse has come to life!"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "Shocking!"

The Savior: "Green River, are you a human or ghost?!"

The cultivators in the groupchat all expressed astonishment at Green River Sword Immortal's revival.

Green River Sword Immortal: "… I'm not in the mood to joke around with you guys!"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "@Buddhist Abbot Haiyin, please explain."

One after another, the cultivators in the groupchat all sent @Buddhist Abbot Haiyin in succession.

An Lin: "…"

What beautiful redirection of hostility!

Sure enough, Green River Sword Immortal started to verbally attack Buddhist Abbot Haiyin furiously.

It was a pity that Buddhist Abbot Haiyin remained silent though, not appearing in the groupchat again…

After a while, Green River Sword Immortal suddenly sent a location.

"I'm at this location right now and I'm being chased by one Demon King and two Blood Gods. Are there any cultivators nearby who can come and help? Let's launch a counterattack!"

An Lin looked at the location that Green River Sword Immortal sent. It was very close to where he was…

Chapter 82: Counterattack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The coordinates that Green River Sword Immortal sent was just tens of kilometers from where An Lin was.

However, the enemy was comprised of one Demon King and two Blood Kings.

With his strength, he could only defeat half a Demon King at most.

What would he do with the remaining two and a half? Leave them to Green River Sword Immortal?

An Lin thought about this and decided to observe for a while longer. He wanted to see how the members of the groupchat would respond.

However, he didn't laze around either. As he observed, he also moved toward Green River Sword Immortal's location so that if needed, he could act swiftly.

Green Bamboo: "Senior Green River, my rank is only of the Seventh Stage Dao Body, so I won't be able to participate in a battle of this level. I can't help even if I want to."

Enlightened Dark Spirit: "Same here, my rank is merely Ninth Stage Dao Body and I can't beat anyone. Senior Green River, good luck!"

Crimson Rainbow Sword Immortal: "Brother Green River, my sect is also guarding against attacks from the demon tribe. Being the sect leader, I can't leave. Stand firm!"

The Savior: "Green River, I'm still in America, so I can't come to rescue you, stand firm!"

Cloud Exploring Daoist: "I'm still holding a conference at Mount Longhu regarding how to suppress the Demon Clan, stand firm!"

Reading this, Green River Sword Immortal's heart throbbed in pain. "A Demon King is chasing me right now! Instead of dealing with this existing one, you're holding a conference regarding how to suppress them instead?!"

Cloud Exploring Daoist: "But the Demon Emperor isn't there."

Green River Sword Immortal: "…"

An Lin: "…"

He suddenly felt great pity for Green River Sword Immortal. It appeared as if the fellow cultivators of this groupchat really did plan to 'say farewell to Green River Sword Immortal'.

Green River Sword Immortal felt like he had joined a groupchat of fake cultivators.

Red Fox Celestial Maiden: "Green River, send your real-time location, I'll help you!"

An Lin was a bit dazed upon seeing this message. Red Fox Celestial Maiden had a rank of Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage and almost always remained silent in the groupchat.

He had heard about this person from Tian Lingling. Who would've thought that Red Fox Celestial Maiden would actively volunteer at this time?

Without saying anything else, Green River Sword Immortal sent through his real-time location.

Red Fox Celestial Maiden quickly replied, "Okay, wait for me! If we can counterattack successfully, the Blood King's corpse is mine!"

Green River Sword Immortal: "No problem."

After Red Fox Celestial Maiden appeared, the groupchat was once again drowned in a frenzy.

Calm Celestial Maiden: "A beauty saving the hero, that's true love!"

Daoist Wooden Ox: "True love1!"

Enlightened Lazurite: "True love2!"

…

Tian Lingling: "May as well get married!"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "I've done some calculations and tomorrow is a lucky day."

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "Our Huayin Sect is a good place to hold a wedding ceremony. The scenery is picturesque and there are flowers everywhere."

The Savior: "A wedding? I also want to go. I'll fly back from America right away!"

…

Just like this, the cultivators in the groupchat all started to pop up. And once again, the direction of the chat started to go awry.

Green River Sword Immortal: "…"

Red Fox Celestial Maiden: "…"

It was because there was a bunch of crazies in the groupchat that Red Fox Celestial Maiden didn't want to talk. They would often go from a serious topic to something totally unrelated.

If she participated in too many of these chats, she would also become crazy!

The addition of Red Fox Celestial Maiden meant that the power difference between the two sides was reduced.

An Lin pondered for a short while. Thinking that he could perhaps also help in this battle, he sent a message in the groupchat.

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Green River Sword Immortal, I also happen to be nearby. I'll also come and help!"

As soon as he said this, other cultivators in the chat started to reply.

Tian Lingling: "Fake Daoist Priest, I suggest that you quickly take back what you just said."

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "Wow, what a dazzling third wheeler!"

Enlightened Lazurite: "Fellow cultivator An Lin, you need to learn how to help others achieve their goals…"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Haha, Green River Sword Immortal probably wants to throttle Daoist An Lin to death!"

…

Looking at the comments of condemnation, An Lin wanted to cry.

What the f*ck is going on?

He only wanted to go and help. Why did he feel like a criminal now?!

At this moment, Green River Sword Immortal sent another message.

Green River Sword Immortal: "Daoist An Lin, don't listen to these nutjobs. You're fairly strong, so it's fine for you to come over. However, in the coming battle, it's best that you wait for Red Fox Celestial Maiden to arrive first. Then, you can join the battle when she arrives."

Fake Daoist Priest Little An: "Got it!"

Being a powerful member of the Immortal Rankings Board, An Lin's strength was tip-top amongst Tenth Stage Dao Body ranked cultivators.

With regards to battle ability alone, he was already on par with the weakest cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

Thus, even if he couldn't defeat the Demon King—who had a rank of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage—he wouldn't be easily defeated himself either.

It was because of this fact that he had the confidence to offer assistance to Green River Sword Immortal.

…

Ten minutes later, An Lin had run up a large mountain.

Looking at the live location that Green River Sword Immortal had sent through WeChat, he could see that the distance between them had already shrunk to under ten kilometers.

In addition, Green River Sword Immortal was currently dashing toward his location.

Looking at Red Fox Celestial Maiden's live location indicator, he could see that she was also flying toward his location from another direction.

No way! It can't be so coincidental, right? They're all converging toward my location?

An Lin's expression darkened. He hurriedly suppressed his aura and found a large boulder to hide behind…

In the distant sky, a dark figure was gradually becoming larger.

He wore a fluttering black robe, and standing atop a flying sword, he streaked through the skies.

Though, there was one thing which ruined the entire image. A phone was grasped in his hands, and he was tapping away on it non-stop.

Green River Sword Immortal: "Red Fox Celestial Maiden, are you ready? Let's counterattack and catch them off-guard once we meet up!"

Red Fox Celestial Maiden: "Got it!"

An Lin looked toward another direction in the sky. Red Fox Celestial Maiden should have been less than one kilometer away from him right now, but how come he still couldn't see her?

Could it be… that she came by foot?!

An Lin suddenly realized something. That's right, if she flies over then she'll be detected by the Demon King and Blood Kings sooner. If that happens, then launching a surprise counterattack will be pointless.

Five extremely powerful auras started to slowly converge…

Soon after, An Lin saw a lithe and graceful figure speedily weaving through the thickets.

Her long, raven-black hair fluttered behind her and she held a crimson longbow in her hands. A red sash was tied around her waist and there were even three red tails behind her back, bouncing slightly as she ran.

An Lin was astonished upon seeing this figure. Could it be that Red Fox Celestial Maiden really is a fox?

Aren't such beings classified as evil spirits? Why is she amongst the human cultivators?

He shook his head and cast aside these thoughts, his entire body tensing up.

Red Fox Celestial Maiden and Green River Sword Immortal's paths were almost about to intersect.

At this moment, Green River Sword Immortal purposefully slowed down, allowing the enemies to further close in on him.

Whoosh!

The flying sword that Green River Sword Immortal was traveling on suddenly flew into his hands. A mighty aura erupted from his body and with a dazzling glow, he swung his sword backward.

Similar to a turbulent river suspended in mid-air, a mighty sword projection one hundred feet in size sliced toward the Demon King who was leading the enemies behind him.

Seeing that Green River Sword Immortal stopped fleeing and instead launched a counterattack, the Demon King of Arrogance was given a fright. He hastily activated a defensive spell and a bronze wall materialized before his body.

Boom!

A devastating power erupted from the sword projection and tore apart the bronze wall. The shockwaves crashed into the Demon King of Arrogance's body and sent him flying back, blood trickling from his mouth.

Although the Demon King of Arrogance was injured, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Since you want to fight, don't even think about escaping anymore!"

Boom!

At this moment, two red figures also streaked over!

Red Fox Celestial Maiden stopped in her tracks and fully drew her bow.

Vital energy swarmed around her, and they brought with them boundless flames.

Afterward, the flames started gathering on the bowstring, eventually forming into a crimson arrow!

Whoosh!

Containing within it a fearsome might, the crimson arrow cut through the air and whistled toward the Demon King of Arrogance.

The Demon King of Arrogance had just been wounded by Green River Sword Immortal. So, by the time that he detected the fiery arrow flying toward him, it was already too late for him to react.

The arrow pierced through his body and bathed him in flames.

"Ah!"

The Demon King of Arrogance screamed in pain as he fell toward the ground.

"F*ck! It's an ambush!"

The two bloody figures in the sky were furious. One of them streaked toward Green River Sword Immortal, whilst the other dashed at Red Fox Celestial Maiden.

A look of joy lit up on Red Fox Celestial Maiden's pretty face. She turned toward the boulder which hid An Lin and pointed at the location where the Demon King of Arrogance had crashed down.

An Lin nodded confidently and signaled 'ok'.

Just like that, Red Fox Celestial Maiden also started dashing toward the blood-red figure.

An Lin chuckled to himself and bolted toward where the Demon King of Arrogance had fallen.

Chapter 83: I Don't Want to be Your Sparring Partner!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After being struck by the arrow and crashing down, the Demon King of Arrogance created a pit in the ground from his impact.

A dark energy gushed from his body and engulfed the flames enveloping him.

However, he was unable to heal the large wound on his chest which was bleeding black blood non-stop.

"Detestable! That b*tch actually dares to ambush me?!" The Demon King of Arrogance clutched his chest and glowered at Red Fox Celestial Maiden.

However, right at this moment, a figure appeared in the Demon King of Arrogance's sight. An Lin had come!

Wielding a golden glazed sword, An Lin bolted over.

At this moment, he was a Sword Immortal!

"Eat my sword! Heaven Shaking Earth Shattering Slash!"

An Lin roared and his golden sword ferociously cut toward the Demon King.

Heaven Shaking Earth Shattering Slash?!

The Demon King was alarmed by this name and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Boom!

A ten feet long gully was ripped out by the sword.

That's all? The Demon King of Arrogance blinked. Wasn't that just a f*cking normal overhead strike?!

Seeing that his strike had missed, An Lin roared once again.

"Eat my sword! Void Shattering Slash!"

He angled his golden glazed sword and slashed toward the Demon King's waist.

"To hell with your Void Shattering Slash!"

The Demon King of Arrogance roared, and he threw his bronze-colored fist toward the sword.

Boom!

This bronze-colored fist was far harder than steel.

As it collided with the sword, a blast of air erupted outwards.

An Lin was blasted back quite a distance, and he almost lost his footing.

"As expected, it was just an ordinary body slice."

There was a dark expression on the Demon King's face. The muscles on his arms bulged and a brown glow radiated from his fists.

"Come again!" An Lin yelled and once again sliced toward the Demon King.

One after another, impressive and fearsome names spewed out of his mouth. At the same time, deafening sounds could be heard as his sword continuously collided with the Demon King's body.

The more the Demon King of Arrogance fought, the more furious he became. This cultivator merely had a rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, yet dared to fight against him. This was something that Arrogance could not tolerate!

If it was just that, then so be it. What really irked him was that the little piece of sh*t had such crappy swordsmanship.

That's right, every move that little sh*t used was run-of-the-mill. It was absolutely disgusting!

If it wasn't for his severe injuries, how could the Demon King of Arrogance be humiliated in such ways by a youth?

After blocking a few more strikes, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hi-yah! Do you really think that I'm easy to bully?!" the Demon King of Arrogance howled.

Drawing on all his strength, the Demon King flung his fist toward An Lin.

Boom!

The shockwaves formed by this devastating punch cracked open the earth within a fifty feet radius of the Demon King. An Lin, who bore the brunt of the impact, was blasted backward, and his sword fell out of his hand.

An Lin collapsed to the floor and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he stood up and yelled, "How satisfying!"

Immediately afterward, he clenched his fists and once again rushed toward the Demon King of Arrogance!

The Demon King's eyes bulged. He had drawn on every inkling of his strength to throw that punch just then!

If an ordinary cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body was struck by that punch, they would definitely be blasted to death.

What about the cultivator in front of him? Apart from spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was still just as lively as before, and his aura hadn't weakened a single bit! What kind of freak was he?!

What the Demon King didn't know was that after having his body tempered by the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill, An Lin's body was already stronger and sturdier than ordinary Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators.

Moreover, he had also ingested the Ultimate Creation Pill—a second-rank immortal pill personally refined by Chang'e—not long ago, and his body was brimming with vitality.

With his sturdy body and overflowing vitality, the punch just then was barely a threat to him!

An Lin once again collided with the Demon King. This time he didn't use his sword, instead throwing his fists and pounding it out with the Demon King of Arrogance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As if bombs were exploding one after another, the collision of fists caused massive shockwaves to erupt outwards, creating deep craters in the ground.

An Lin and the Demon King streaked around as they battled with each other.

In the beginning, it was their fists that were colliding with each other. Afterward, though, every single fist collided with flesh!

This was a battle between men. You punch me in the chest, and I reply with a punch to your guts!

This was a contest to see who had greater strength and who had the better defense.

The result was… that the Demon King of Arrogance started repeatedly vomiting blood.

He was overwhelmed with shock. He couldn't believe that An Lin's hand-to-hand combat was so much more powerful than his swordsmanship!

Not only was his defense freakishly strong, but even his offensive skills were insanely powerful.

The Demon King of Arrogance was already injured before he started fighting An Lin. Now, after a series of exchanges, his wounds were wide open. It was clear that he was even more injured than before!

He knew that he couldn't continue on like this. Otherwise, there was a very real possibility that he would be defeated by this cultivator who had a measly rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

Demonic Dragon Mystical Fist!

A black dragon suddenly laced around the Demon King's thick arms. With fearsome might, his fists became a blur as afterimages appeared all around An Lin's body, giving him no chance of evading!

An Lin closed his eyes momentarily. When he opened them again, his eyes were snowy white.

Divine Inspection—Activate!

Flaw analysis…

An Lin swung his fist. It cut through the air and possessed the golden glow of the Mountain Quaking Fist.

The golden fist hurtled through layers upon layers of afterimages. Dashing through a weak point, it crashed into the Demon King of Arrogance's waist!

Boom!

The fist possessed a terrifying amount of power, and it smashed the Demon King's body into a 'C' shape.

"Ah!" The Demon King shrieked in pain and his body shot toward the distance like a cannonball.

Only after flattening a mound of earth did his body lose its momentum.

The Demon King of Arrogance was heaving up blood non-stop, his entire body trembling. There was a look of utter disbelief on his face. "How is this possible… My Demonic Dragon Mystical Fist was actually defeated by a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body?"

After a period of intense battle, An Lin was also beat.

"Sword, come!" he yelled.

The golden glazed sword flew back into his hand. Then, he started to slowly walk toward the Demon King.

"Why, thank you!" An Lin exclaimed.

Demon King of Arrogance: "???"

"It has been a long time since I've enjoyed such a hearty battle. It is you who has allowed me to better understand my own strength. So, I'll let you die with dignity!"

The Demon King of Arrogance finally reached an understanding…

He understood why An Lin chose to use such crappy sword techniques against him at the start; he understood why An Lin chose to slug it out with him hand-to-hand afterward; he understood why he still lost unexpectedly after using his ultimate move.

As it turned out… he was a sparring partner since the very beginning…

"Pfff!" The Demon King of Arrogance was so enraged that he spit out another mouthful of blood.

He had never felt so humiliated before.

Being a formidable Demon King, he was actually reduced to just a sparring partner for a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body! He had been completely wrapped around that cultivator's little finger…

Proud and arrogant as he was, how could the Demon King let such a thing happen to him!

"I'll f*cking kill you!" the Demon King of Arrogance roared loudly.

Without any hesitation, he unleashed a move which drew upon his life force—Purple Lightning Demonic Spear!

A brilliant ball of purple lightning suddenly appeared before him, and it gradually condensed into a purple spear.

An Lin suddenly felt a great sense of danger envelop him.

This strike was very dangerous!

However, once he focused his attention on the devastating lightning spear, he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

"Go, skewer his body!" the Demon King roared.

This was going to be his last strike, and it carried all of his strength and hopes with it.

Faced with this strike, even a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage would be insta-killed!

Whoosh!

Possessing an unparalleled might, the purple lightning spear had rushed before An Lin in the blink of an eye!

An Lin simply extended a finger…

All of a sudden, the purple lightning spear stopped in front of An Lin, unable to move an inch further!

The Demon King's eyes bulged, a look of disbelief etched on his face. How was this possible?!

An Lin smiled indifferently. He was fairly grateful toward the Demon King of Arrogance, thus didn't wish for him to die in bewilderment. "This is my Lightning Manipulation Technique. It's an immortal spell derived from the Thunder Essence Cultivation Method. Theoretically, I can manipulate all lightning…" he explained.

Hearing this, pain stabbed at the Demon King's heart. He winced and his face was full of despair. After a long time, he finally managed to utter, "Y-you're cheating…

"Can I not be your sparring partner…?"

An Lin shook his head and said solemnly, "You must finish off what you start!"

Saying this, he flicked his finger. Responding to his commands, the purple lightning spear obediently and nimbly wrapped around his sword.

Then, with his sword cackling with a brilliant purple lightning, he rushed toward the Demon King of Arrogance.

"Eat my sword! Purple Lightning Divine Blade!"

It was the same purple lightning, yet the feeling he got was completely different.

Looking at the Purple Lightning Divine Blade descending upon him, tears started to well up in the Demon King's eyes.

Boom!

There was a massive explosion as the blade cut into the Demon King's body. It was as if the thunders of the highest heavens were rumbling in fury.

The devastating lightning charred the Demon King's body pitch-black!

With a confident and carefree demeanor, An Lin brandished his sword.

His back turned toward the Demon King, An Lin sighed, "This was such an evenly matched battle…"

"However, it was I, Sword Immortal An Lin, who emerged as the final victor."

Chapter 84: You Actually Poisoned Your Blood?!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After dealing with the Demon King of Arrogance, he looked toward Green River Sword Immortal and Red Fox Celestial Maiden.

The two Blood Kings, one male, and one female, both had golden hair and crimson eyes. They both had a pair of gigantic bat wings on their back and looked a bit like the vampires depicted in western films.

However, the spells and techniques they were using now were much more exaggerated than those used by vampires in movies.

Blood-sucking bats dotted the sky and their bloody fangs were bared as they swooped down toward Green River Sword Immortal and Red Fox Celestial Maiden.

Gliding through the air, two blood dragons that were one-hundred feet long bared their fangs and brandished their claws. Emitting a deathly aura, they waited for an opportunity to pounce.

Red Fox Celestial Maiden was a powerful cultivator, and she formed a flaming tornado around herself. Once the blood-sucking bats collided into this wall of red flames, they would instantly be disintegrated.

Her slender and pale arms were a flurry of motion as she repeatedly drew and fired her crimson bow.

One after another, the powerful arrows were fired at the male Blood King continuously. The barrage of arrows meant that he was unable to close in on his enemy and could only defend from a distance.

In the other battle though, Green River Sword Immortal was already starting to struggle.

The female Blood King that he was battling had a stunning figure. Her legs were long and slender, her waist was slim and tender, and her large breasts swayed about as she moved. Add her flaming red lips and alluring eyes to that… Green River Sword Immortal could barely hang on against her!

However, it was actually the startling regeneration ability of the blood tribe which he found most difficult to stand.

Green River Sword Immortal battled her at close range and his sword projections were strong and overbearing. Even the Blood King was unable to fully dodge his strikes.

However, the wounds caused by these strikes were quickly healed over.

Moreover, the Blood King's attacks were both mighty and powerful. She manipulated the gigantic blood dragon and had it repeatedly pounce at Green River Sword Immortal. Every pounce brought with it a deadly threat.

If Green River Sword Immortal couldn't critically injure the Blood King with one strike, then he would perhaps die of fatigue here.

Seeing this, An Lin felt that he should lend Green River Sword Immortal a hand.

He stealthily moved his fingers and started gathering energy for his Lightning Manipulation Technique.

This was the technique he had used against the Demon King of Wisdom, and it drew upon the lightning in the sky.

The lightning would slowly accumulate high up in the skies, and it would be concealed all the way until it descended.

The female Blood King stood atop the blood dragon which collided with Green River Sword Immortal repeatedly, and there was a greedy look in her eyes as she gazed at her opponent's figure.

She licked her soft and fiery lips. "The stronger a human cultivator is, the more delicious their blood. I really want it… I can't endure any longer…"

Her breathing quickened, and her erect breasts undulated fiercely. Her pale arms also started to open up slightly.

Suddenly, the air around them started to tremor and a large amount of blood gushed from the Blood King's body. Each of them exuding a fearsome aura, numerous blood dragons formed in the air.

"Your blood… I'll slowly savor it…" Gazing at Green River Sword Immortal, the Blood King spoke in an especially charming voice.

Green River Sword Immortal's expression was grave. Her power had already exceeded his defensive limits.

Boom!

Opening their bloody maws, the blood dragons in the sky all pounced at him at once.

Each blood dragon possessed a terrifying might which gave him a feeling of grave danger.

A brilliant azure-colored sword projection gathered upon Green River Sword Immortal's blade. He was also gathering energy for his most powerful strike.

"Come, my darling. Ahahahaha…" The Blood King laughed excitedly, her charming figure trembling uncontrollably.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning pierced through the air, striking the Blood King's head and charring her black.

Her eyes bulged and wisps of black smoke drifted out from her laughing mouth. The pouncing blood dragons also suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Green River Sword Immortal grabbed this opportunity, slashing a vast azure-colored sword projection toward the Blood King in the distance.

The sword projection sliced through the air and flashed past the Blood King's body, swiftly and fiercely slashing her into two!

As the Blood King slowly collapsed, the blood dragons in the sky all erupted.

Green River Sword Immortal gasped heavily. That sword strike just then had depleted a huge amount of his vital energy.

Suddenly, the clouds of blood formed by the exploded blood dragons started moving, furiously converging toward the severed body.

Amidst the haze of blood, the Blood King's severed body started to join back together.

Seeing this, Green River Sword Immortal instantly rushed toward her, the sword in his hand once again emitting an astonishing might.

"Blood Explosion!" The Blood King roared, and her golden hair flared up. The aura surrounding her body rose to a peak.

Boom!

The blood haze erupted, and Green River Sword Immortal was blasted back by the shockwaves it produced.

The female Blood King flapped her wings and shot toward a certain location at an insane speed.

That location… was where An Lin was hiding!

"Be careful!" Green River Sword Immortal yelled.

An Lin had already detected that the Blood King was rushing toward him. Although he didn't know how she suddenly became so strong, he was certain that she had used some mystic technique and couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Mountain Quaking Fist!" An Lin threw a punch toward her.

Bam!

The Blood King was blown to bits by his golden fist.

An Lin was momentarily dazed. While he was still in a stupor, a black shadow had already appeared before him and once again taken form!

Strands of blood rope suddenly materialized and bound his body tightly.

A pale white hand also reached over at this moment and clenched around his neck.

Just like that, the seductive Blood King appeared beside him and blocked off all paths of escape.

"An Lin!" Green River Sword Immortal was extremely alarmed.

He didn't expect the Blood King to still be able to wield such devastating power after being so severely injured.

"Little cultivator, do you really like me so much? So much so that you had to stimulate me?"

The female Blood King spoke tenderly as she brought her lips close to An Lin's neck.

"Hehe. Beautiful sister, seeing that I like you so much, why don't you release me?" An Lin spouted a load of nonsense, yet his mind was whirring as he tried to figure out how to escape.

"I can't do that, this sister is severely injured right now and needs your help…

"I'll let you in on a little secret. If I drink all your blood, I'll instantly recover my vital energy and be very lively again."

Saying this, she poked out her soft tongue and licked An Lin's neck.

Feeling her tongue on him, An Lin's entire body shivered.

A faint scent of blood wafted from the Blood King's mouth, and it sent chills down his spine.

Holy f*ck! If this continues, I really will be sucked dry!

He glanced toward Green River Sword Immortal yet realized that he could only pace around anxiously.

After all, An Lin was already a captive. If Green River Sword Immortal acted rashly, there was a big chance that An Lin would also be caught up in his attack.

Sh*t! Come on, man!

An Lin had no retreat. Once again, he secretly activated the Lightning Manipulation Technique. This was a strike which he had been stealthily preparing.

A bolt of lightning crashed down from the skies!

However, the female Blood King was prepared this time around, and a blood wall instantly materialized above her.

Boom!

The thunderbolt smashed down and scorched the blood wall black. However, it was unable to strike the Blood King.

"Little cultivator, are you really so giddy to stimulate this sister? Mmm, this sister can't hold on either, let's become one…"

The seductive and charming voice once again traveled into his ears. Hearing these words, An Lin almost burst into tears.

Then, he felt a stabbing pain on his neck…

He could feel his blood draining away!

"Ah…"

The female Blood King let out a seductive moan.

However, she suddenly pushed An Lin aside!

An Lin was stupefied, and he turned around to look at her.

Didn't you want to join bodies? Why did you push me aside?

"Ahhh!"

The Blood King screamed in pain and she went completely insane.

She started running around wildly, her arms flinging about. The fearsome power she released destroyed everything in her proximity.

That's right, after sucking An Lin's blood, she really did become lively again. Truly lively…

Green River Sword Immortal stamped his feet and dashed before An Lin, guarding him behind himself.

"An Lin, are you alright?!"

An Lin nodded and clutched his neck. "Apart from some anemia, I should be fine."

Green River Sword Immortal: "…"

Right at this moment, the female Blood King yelled, "Little cultivator, you actually poisoned your blood… I definitely won't forgive you!"

Immediately after shouting this, however, her entire body started to jerk, and she collapsed to the floor.

…

Staring at the female Blood King who had collapsed to the floor and was frothing, An Lin and Green River Sword Immortal turned around and looked blankly at each other…

Chapter 85: Donating Blood For the Peace and Love of the World

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Staring at the frothing Blood King, Green River Sword Immortal could not help but fall silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke in amazement.

"Fellow cultivator An Lin, you poisoned your blood… That's amazing! How did you do it?!"

An Lin was irked when he heard this. "Don't ask me! I didn't poison my blood!"

Green River Sword Immortal kept on staring at An Lin in amazement, clearly not believing what he just said.

An Lin: "…"

They knew that what was most important right now was to check and see if the female Blood King was dead or alive, not to discuss whether or not An Lin had poisoned his blood.

They walked toward the female Blood King and found that her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was foaming. Her body had already become cold and her life force had completely dissipated…

"Such potent poison! All it took was one mouthful to poison the Blood King to death!"

As Green River Sword Immortal spoke, there was a look of astonishment on his face. Then, he looked toward An Lin with an expression of utmost admiration.

An Lin grimaced. "Don't look at me like that! I don't know what happened either!"

"Then why don't you help me out a little bit," Green River Sword Immortal chuckled.

An Lin blinked. "Help with what?"

"Let me borrow some of your blood!"

An Lin: "…"

Borrow some blood?

F*ck you! How are you going to return my blood once you borrow it?

"An Lin, your blood might be fatal toward the blood tribe.

"So… in order to win this battle, please reconsider!"

Seeing the righteous expression on Green River Sword Immortal's face, An Lin fell silent.

Then, he looked toward Red Fox Celestial Maiden's battle. There, an intense battle was still raging on.

An Lin sighed softly and eventually agreed to the request.

His heart aching, he cut open his arm and let his blood flow onto Green River Sword Immortal's blade.

He felt a bit dizzy.

M-hm… He had just gotten his blood sucked by a Blood King.

Now, he was voluntarily giving blood again. How could he not feel dizzy…

There was a look of satisfaction on Green River Sword Immortal's face as he glanced toward his sword.

"This blade has been smeared full of poison!" he laughed.

Hearing this, An Lin almost fainted.

To hell with your poison! he roared in his mind.

This is my blood! This is the essence of my life!

He tried his best to calm himself down.

I'm donating my blood for the peace and love of this world… I'm donating my blood for the peace and love of this world…

Indeed, after thinking this to himself a few more times, he felt much better.

Green River Sword Immortal also got on the move. He flew toward Red Fox Celestial Maiden and joined in on her battle!

The male Blood King was already on the back foot against Red Fox Celestial Maiden. Sensing his surroundings now, he became even more alarmed.

He suddenly discovered that both the Demon King of Arrogance and the female Blood King had been slain!

The Demon King of Arrogance was already critically injured before, so his death didn't come as a big surprise.

However, the female Blood King had a lot of moves up her sleeves and also possessed an extremely powerful life force. Who was it that had the ability to slay her?

Just as the male Blood King was surveying his surroundings, he caught sight of Green River Sword Immortal flying toward him aggressively!

"Was it him? He's that powerful?!"

The female Blood King could even escape from cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage. How was it possible that a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage had killed her?

Although he was startled, the male Blood King knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.

The most important thing now was to… escape!

The male Blood King summoned thousands of blood-sucking bats and commanded them to swoop toward Red Fox Celestial Maiden and Green River Sword Immortal.

As for himself, he took this opportunity to activate his Great Blood Escape Spell and flee!

Seeing that the Blood King wanted to escape, Red Fox Celestial Maiden instantly drew her bow and let fly a crimson arrow which exuded a terrifying might. This arrow streaked through the bloodthirsty bats and lodged into the male Blood King's chest.

The Blood King spat out a mouthful of blood and faltered momentarily. He recovered quickly though and continued to flee with all his might.

He knew that it would be a while before such a powerful attack could be used again. So, as long as he kept fleeing, no one could stop him!

However, in the moment that he faltered, Green River Sword Immortal had already dashed through the obstructing bats and appeared behind him. Like flowing water, an azure sword leaped toward his back!

The male Blood King didn't dodge or evade, and he kept flying straight forward.

Although your strike is quick, it doesn't possess much power , he sneered in his mind.

What would it matter if he let such an attack hit him?

Through his strong regenerative abilities, he would definitely be able to heal himself in a heartbeat.

Tear!

The sword ripped a wound into the Blood King's back.

Green River Sword Immortal stopped his pursuit. In order to launch that strike, he had already used every last bit of his strength. He was exhausted now, and could only look on in anticipation…

Seeing that he had escaped from their grasp, the Blood King threw down a threat. "Just you wait! I'll definitely come back one day and suck your blood dry!"

After he said this, a wretched cry suddenly sounded from the skies.

"Ahhhhh!" the male Blood King howled in agony. He felt as if his blood was rotting away and he could sense that his life force was slowly vanishing.

"What on earth did you do to me?!"

With an expression of shock and fury, the male Blood King turned to face Green River Sword Immortal.

Wearing a smug grin on his face, Green River Sword Immortal held out his sword.

"This is a blade that has been smeared full of poison…"

The Blood King's lips quivered, and he stared dazedly at Green River Sword Immortal. Finally, he frothed at the mouth and started hurtling toward the ground…

Treading upon flames, Red Fox Celestial Maiden flew toward Green River Sword Immortal.

There was a look of astonishment on her pretty face. She cocked her head and pointed at his sword uncertainly.

Green River Sword Immortal chuckled and pointed at An Lin, who was now slumped to the floor due to excessive blood loss.

"My sword is smeared full of An Lin's blood. His blood is extremely poisonous!" he explained.

Hearing this, Red Fox Celestial Maiden's eyes lit up and she immediately flew toward An Lin!

Seeing that the last Blood King had been disposed of, An Lin finally relaxed.

"Damn! I feel like I've been sucked dry!" An Lin exclaimed bitterly.

Putting aside his intense battle with the Demon King of Arrogance, he had his blood sucked by a Blood King and also had his blood borrowed by Green River Sword Immortal. These two incidents really drained him!

Right now, he really wanted to buy renal medicine.

However, before he could even revel in their victory, Red Fox Celestial Maiden ran over. She stared at him as if she was looking at some weirdo…

After being dazed for a moment, he asked, "What're you staring at?"

Her face flushed slightly red and she pointed apologetically at An Lin's arm. This was the arm which he had cut and lent blood from.

An Lin blinked and looked toward his arm.

The wound there had already closed but was not fully healed yet.

Presumably, Red Fox Celestial Maiden wanted to help treat his wound…

Thinking of this, a warm feeling enveloped An Lin's heart.

There is indeed true love in the world!

Thereupon, he nodded gratefully toward her, indicating his approval.

A dazzling smile spread across her face. She moved excitedly toward An Lin and extended her hand…

Rip…

An Lin's wound—which had just closed—was ripped open again, and blood uncontrollably flowed out…

Just like that, An Lin suffered excessive blood loss…

Fatality.

Chapter 86: New Title, Poison Lord

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Thanks to his strong life force, An Lin made it through.

Looking at the heartless pair in front of him, he ground his teeth in anger.

What b*llshit true love?! All he felt was a deep sense of malice and ill will!

Red Fox Celestial Maiden didn't make any discoveries in his blood.

So, she ran over to investigate the Blood Kings' corpses.

Meanwhile, Green River Sword Immortal looked at An Lin in admiration. "An Lin, your blood is so useful!" he praised, "If we come across members of the blood tribe in the future…"

An Lin cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

"No! Get lost!"

Seeing An Lin turn him down so firmly, Green River Sword Immortal scratched his head in embarrassment. Then, he opened up the groupchat.

…

In the 'all cultivators of the world unite together to protect earth' groupchat.

Green River Sword Immortal: "Haha, ambush successful! We slaughtered one Demon King and two Blood Kings!"

Once Green River Sword Immortal sent this, countless cultivators joined the chat. Instantly, the atmosphere flared up.

The Savior: "Good heavens! That's an insane battle achievement! You actually managed to kill them?!"

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "As expected, a male and female paired together are bound to produce miracles!"

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "Not only can they produce miracles, but they can also produce new life!"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "…"

Golden Jade: "…"

Green River Sword Immortal sent a smiley emoticon 1 . "Crack Shot Clairvoyant, next time we meet, I can destroy a life."

Crack Shot Clairvoyant: "… I was joking, don't take it to heart."

Right at this moment, Red Fox Celestial Maiden also sent a smiley emoticon.

Red Fox Celestial Maiden: "A male and female pair can indeed destroy a life. Crack Shot Clairvoyant, just you wait…"

Seeing this message, Crack Shot Clairvoyant almost burst into tears.

Green River Sword Immortal was probably just joking. However, Red Fox Celestial Maiden was someone who stayed true to her words!

Crack Shot Clairvoyant was so scared that he planned to go into hiding. At this moment, Green River Sword Immortal sent another message.

Green River Sword Immortal: "Actually, it was thanks to Daoist An Lin that we were able to slaughter the Demon King and two Blood Kings. He probably made the biggest contribution!"

Once he sent this, it instantly piqued the interest of the cultivators.

Although An Lin was very strong, it would probably still be a stretch for him to fight against enemies of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. How come Green River Sword Immortal said that he made the biggest contribution?

Tian Lingling: "It can't be, right? Didn't he just go for fun?"

Enlightened Lazurite: "Oh? An Lin made the biggest contribution? How so?"

Calm Celestial Maiden: "Could it be that he made a key contribution at a critical juncture of the battle?"

The cultivators in the chat came up with numerous speculations. At this moment, Green River Sword Immortal sent another message.

Green River Sword Immortal: "Let me put it this way. It can be said that the Demon King and two Blood Kings were all killed by An Lin!"

The Savior: "…"

Golden Jade: "…"

Tian Lingling: "…"

All killed by him? Seeing this message, the cultivators in the chat all fell silent.

Finally, Enlightened Lazurite was unable to contain his doubt. "Green River, you've got to be kidding, right? Doesn't Daoist An Lin only have a rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body?"

Enlightened Lazurite spoke out everyone's thoughts. What would a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body have to do to be able to slaughter three enemies of the Spirit Nurturing Stage?

Could it be that they were all critically injured and finished off by him?

That was clearly impossible!

Green River Sword Immortal: "The Demon King was critically injured by Red Fox Celestial Maiden and me. Then, An Lin finished him off.

"As for the two Blood Kings, one was poisoned to death after drinking his blood. As for the other one, he was poisoned to death after I cut him with my sword which was smeared with An Lin's blood."

Tian Lingling: "… The two Blood Kings were poisoned to death by his blood?"

Enlightened Lazurite: "Hah, poisoned to death? I would believe it more if you said that he hacked them to death with a single strike of his sword!"

Calm Celestial Maiden: "Green River Sword Immortal, are you trying to say that An Lin poisoned his blood?"

Green River Sword Immortal: "No, what I mean is that his entire body is poisonous! This is also what I admire most about him!"

Tian Lingling: "Wow! Fake Daoist Priest is so impressive!"

Atomic Bomb Fairy: "Although I don't really understand, as expected, Daoist An Lin is very powerful!"

The Savior: "How about this. Let's bestow upon Daoist An Lin the title of Poison Lord."

Daoist Wooden Ox: "I agree."

Dreamy Voice Fairy: "I agree too."

Cloud Exploring Daoist: "Same."

…

In fact, An Lin was also reading these messages. Once he saw that they agreed upon his title of 'Poison Lord', tears brimmed in his eyes and he put down his phone.

To prevent his tears from falling, he raised his head and looked toward the sky.

Afterward, carrying the corpses of the Blood Kings, the mute Red Fox Celestial Maiden headed back to Qingqiu Mystic Realm.

Green River Sword Immortal patted An Lin's shoulder and said cordially, "Poison Lord, I'll fly you back to Rong City!"

An Lin grimaced. F*ck your Poison Lord!

Due to excessive blood loss, he didn't have any strength left to complain. All he could do was nod vacantly…

Just like that, An Lin and Green River Sword Immortal started flying back to Rong City.

…

An Lin had thought that once he returned to Chengdu, he would be able to pass his days peacefully.

However, what he didn't expect was that in this age of information, his title of Poison Lord spread throughout the entire cultivation world in just one day!

The next day, four sect leaders of the top ten sects in China came to visit the Poison Lord. These sects were Wudang, Kunlun, Longhu, and Shangqing.

There were only four mighty cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage in China, and they were none other than the sect leaders of these four sects.

Naturally, they had ulterior motives in visiting the Poison Lord.

They were in fact here to study the Poison Lord…

Just like that, An Lin burst into tears.

"Poison Lord, why don't you let this daoist touch you…"

Daoist Priest Xuyun, the sect leader of Wudang, chuckled as he extended his hand toward An Lin.

"Stop messing around!" At this moment, an elder with white hair and a white beard yelled angrily.

An Lin looked toward this elder gratefully. He was Mount Longhu's Heavenly Teacher Zhang.

"Be reasonable! If we want to be thorough in our studies, we need to rely on this!"

Heavenly Teacher Zhang fished out a syringe and looked toward An Lin with a kindly expression.

Seeing the syringe, An Lin almost blacked out.

What the f*ck! You want to draw my blood?!

Do you really need to be so ruthless?!

Due to his excessive blood loss yesterday, he felt dizzy whenever he saw blood now. He felt as if he had developed vasovagal syncope 2 .

No, it was hemophobia. Even the mention of blood scared him!

"Don't be scared Poison Lord. We won't draw a lot, we'll only draw a teeny-weeny bit," a black-clothed male of around fifty-years-old comforted him.

He was Spirit Child Shi, the sect leader of Kunlun Immortal Sect. As he spoke, he was preparing an investigative spell formation…

"Hey, you're a man! What's so scary about bleeding some blood?

"If you feel uncomfortable bleeding by yourself, this daoist will bleed with you!"

Daoist You Mu, the sect leader of Shangqing Immortal Sect, spoke boldly. Saying this, he pulled out a broadsword and cut his own arm.

An Lin initially thought that he was just playing around.

Then, blood splashed all over his face…

Holy f*ck! Where did this crazy c*nt come from?!

An Lin roared in his mind. Then, he felt his chest tighten and his heartbeat quicken.

Great… his hemophobia flared up again.

Chapter 87: Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the end, An Lin bowed to the pressure of the evil forces.

With four Soul Formation Stage powerhouses imploring him, he couldn't keep dragging it out.

Seeing the syringe stab into his arm, his heart throbbed in pain.

When he saw his blood start slowly flowing into the syringe, he felt his chest tighten even more and his breaths become even shorter. He quickly turned his head around and averted his gaze.

After drawing his blood, the four sect leaders started to study it on the spot.

They used a spell formation to examine the makeup of the blood and used a spell formation to examine the properties of the blood. They even performed experiments on some small animals.

The more they studied and experimented with it, the more perplexed and miserable they became.

It's because this blood was…

Way too f*cking normal!

Even the little animals which had drunk An Lin's blood were still alive and hopping about!

"Is this really the Poison Lord's blood? I feel like I drew fake blood."

Heavenly Teacher Zhang had a look of bewilderment on his face.

"Why don't we draw some more?" Daoist You Mu suggested.

An Lin wanted to call the police.

Draw some more?

These people are bloody scarier than vampires!

"Don't frighten the Poison Lord," Daoist Priest shook his hands and smiled kindly, "To normal living beings, this blood is indeed not poisonous. Perhaps this blood contains some mysterious force which is highly toxic only to members of the Blood Tribe."

Saying this, he turned to An Lin, an earnest look on his face. "Poison Lord, this daoist has a favor to ask…"

An Lin was terrified and instantly yelled, "I refuse!"

"Uh…" An awkward expression appeared on Daoist Priest Xuyun's face.

He hadn't even said anything yet, why was he rejected? Could it be that he was this scary?

Seeing An Lin's expression, Spirit Child Shi had a rough idea of how he felt. "At this moment, the operation to suppress the Demon Emperor is the most important matter in the cultivation world," he uttered.

"To my knowledge, both the Demon Emperor and Blood God have a habit of carrying their storage rings with them. As long as you cooperate with us and give some of your blood to create extremely poisonous weapons, we'll let you keep one of the storage rings! What do you say?!"

Hearing the term 'extremely poisonous weapon', An Lin felt irked.

However, he had to admit that receiving a storage ring as compensation for his blood… was very enticing!

One had to realize, the Demon Emperor and Blood God were mighty figures of the Soul Formation Stage, and their storage ring was where they kept their treasures!

Was being able to receive such a storage ring not an enticing offer?!

Just like that, An Lin fell deep into thought.

One minute later…

Refusals kept flowing out of An Lin's mouth, yet he was laying obediently on the bed…

Come! For the love and peace of this world, he was willing to offer up his blood and give up his body!

Cough… he took it a bit too far.

Anyway, An Lin ended up donating half a liter of blood.

One could almost visualize the scene, wherein the great battle to come, the human cultivators would all be wielding weapons smeared with An Lin's blood when fighting against the Blood Tribe.

…

In the end, the four sect leaders all felt grateful and satisfied as they left, and they went back to preparing for the battle to come.

Meanwhile, An Lin lay feebly on the bed.

He felt like he was not simply sucked dry, but he felt as if his body had been wrung completely clean!

Earth is so scary, I want to return to the Heavenly Court…

Xuanyuan Cheng was still enjoying himself under the seas.

Xu Xiaolan was still enjoying herself in the skies.

Before Green River Sword Immortal left, he gave An Lin lots of pills and elixirs as payment for his assistance.

An Lin looked at these pills and elixirs.

There were some which could quickly replenish vital energy, some which could increase the power of immortal spells for a short while, some which could calm one down and increase their concentration, some which could boost sex drive, some which could supplement calcium…

However, there were f*cking none which could enrich the blood!

"Ah… life is such a struggle," An Lin lay on the bed and sighed.

The coming battle wasn't something he needed to worry about anymore. The Heavenly Court would probably send some Earth Immortals over to deal with it.

Because Earth Immortals were powerful, when they teleported through the Southern Heavenly Gate, the space that they traveled through would become turbulent. Thus, a few days were needed for preparation.

Looking at the dates roughly, An Lin expected that the Earth Immortals would arrive in a day or two.

He opened up the cultivator groupchat and found that everyone was talking about the Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet.

Apparently, there were some supernatural phenomena near the Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet last night. There was a five-colored rainbow which stretched across the mountains, and from time to time, there were also heavenly sounds which reverberated throughout the Jade Pond. This had attracted the widespread attention of many cultivators.

Some speculated that these phenomena were related to what the Demon Emperor and Blood God were about to do.

Many cultivators had already started making their way to the Ancient Jade Pond. However, up till now, they were still empty-handed.

Daoist Lin Yi, who was supposed to capture the evil spirits with Tian Lingling, was unable to go due to investigating an unexpected incident in Tibet.

Now, however, there was already no news of this daoist whatsoever.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

He suddenly heard someone knocking on his door.

Could it be that someone has returned to the hotel? It can't be, aren't Xuanyuan Cheng and the others still away?

Even though An Lin was a bit puzzled, he still propped his weak self up and with great difficulty, went to open the door.

"Fake Daoist Priest!"

A petite figure suddenly appeared and leaped toward An Lin, almost knocking him to the floor.

"Tian Lingling, be gentler!" An Lin shouted.

He was very frail right now and was truly unable to stand being rammed by a loli.

Tian Lingling ignored him and kept sniffing away at his body as if he were some kind of rare treasure. "That doesn't make sense, it feels and smells so normal. It doesn't seem like a body that can poison the Blood King to death…" she muttered.

An Lin: "…"

"Okay, okay. Lingling, stop mucking around. Can't you see that An Lin isn't feeling well right now?"

At this moment, a warm and gentle voice sounded.

An Lin looked into the corridor and saw the beautiful Dongfang Xue.

She stood there quietly, a nonchalant grin on her face.

"Ah! Good afternoon, Calm Celestial Maiden!"

His superfan instincts kicked in, and An Lin instantly became more lively, hurriedly shouting out a greeting.

Dongfang Xue held up the bag of ingredients in her hands and smiled, "An Lin, both Lingling and I are very sympathetic of your bitter encounters. So, I'm going to cook a meal for you today!"

Heavens!

Hearing this, tears instantly formed in An Lin's eyes.

This was such a blessed feeling; his idol was going to personally cook for him!

There is indeed true love in the world!

An Lin invited Dongfang Xue and Tian Lingling in.

There was a kitchen in the presidential suite, and this was where Tian Lingling and Dongfang Xue were cooking. Meanwhile, An Lin lay on the bed and continued his recuperation.

In the kitchen, Dongfang Xue was humming a melodious tune. The knife in her hand flashed about, and the pork chops, green peppers, carrots, and other ingredients were all chopped into neat portions.

Tian Lingling was also busy seasoning the ingredients and was completely preoccupied with what she was doing.

…

Listening to Dongfang Xue's humming and smelling the lovely aroma wafting from the kitchen as he lay on the bed, An Lin closed his eyes in satisfaction.

…

A brilliant white light suddenly burst forth from the Baiyun Temple teleportation formation which was in the outskirts of Chengdu.

A tall and slender woman, who was wearing black silk leggings, walked out.

She wore a pair of red-framed glasses and held a copper-colored book in her left hand, appearing both intellectual and beautiful.

Yawning, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes with a sword on his waist also walked out.

"Yue Ying, where to now?" the male asked.

"Hmm… Let's look for my adorable subject representative first."

Earth Immortal Yue Ying grinned, a look of anticipation on her face.

That night, An Lin was able to enjoy a meal personally prepared by Dongfang Xue.

Not only did her dishes look and taste amazing, but they could even replenish vital energy and assist in blood circulation. Eating these, An Lin was full of praise.

After the wonderful meal, An Lin felt much better.

It was as if he had taken a renal supplement, and he became much more energetic.

Afterward, the three of them left the hotel and started strolling down the streets.

Feeling the night breeze blow over him, a feeling of satisfaction overcame An Lin, and he felt completely refreshed.

"Phew… that meal was absolutely amazing! Thank you guys so much!"

He stretched lazily and gratefully thanked the two girls next to him.

Tian Lingling was wearing a cream-colored dress and she walked next to Dongfang Xue. She held onto Dongfang Xue's hand and was an entire head shorter. This made her appear especially dainty and adorable.

Hearing An Lin thank them, she instantly replied, "There's no need to thank us. Fake Daoist Priest, why don't you come to Tibet with us?"

An Lin was baffled upon hearing this. Then, he quickly remembered something and chuckled, "You're worried about Uncle Lin Yi, aren't you?"

Tian Lingling was slightly embarrassed as she nodded. "Even though a lot of disciples from Mount Longhu have headed off to Tibet, they still haven't found Uncle Lin Yi. I'm afraid he's…"

An Lin sighed helplessly. This was clearly a very troubling matter.

Lin Yi was a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, and he was one of the strongest individuals of Mount Longhu.

If even a cultivator of such a rank came across a perilous situation, then presumably the matter was a troublesome one. Being cultivators who were merely of the Dao Body Stage rank, what help could An Lin and the others provide?

Seeing his hesitation, Tian Lingling forced a smile. "Don't worry, Fake Daoist Priest. With that frail body of yours, even if you go to Tibet, you'll suffer from altitude sickness. Forget about it."

Seeing the hint of stubbornness on her face, An Lin knew that even if he didn't go, she would still persist in going herself.

"How about this. I'll prepare tomorrow, then we can set off together. To be honest, I've never traveled to Tibet either. I'm fairly eager about this," An Lin chuckled.

"Really?!" Tian Lingling's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and there was a look of delight on her adorable face.

Just as he was about to reply, a familiar voice sounded from the skies.

"Why wait till tomorrow? We'll go tonight!"

Immediately afterward, a gigantic book descended from the skies. The beautiful lady sitting on top of this book wore a mysterious smile as she looked An Lin up and down.

"Teacher Yue Ying, why are you here?!" An Lin cried in surprise.

"Oh? Did I disturb your date with these two little beauties?" Earth Immortal Yue Ying teased.

Dongfang Xue blushed bright red when she heard this.

Tian Lingling yelled, "Yeah! You disturbed us! Who are you anyway?!"

An Lin: "…"

What an eccentric little girl. Didn't she hear him address that female as Teacher Yue Ying just then?

"Hahaha! This little sister is fairly amusing."

There was a look of interest in her eyes as she glanced at Tian Lingling.

"Teacher, how did you find us?"

An Lin had already guessed why Earth Immortal Yue Ying was here. She was most likely sent down by the Heavenly Court to deal with the matters concerning the Demon Emperor. However, there was absolutely no communication between them beforehand, how did she find them?

Tian Lingling finally reacted when she heard An Lin say 'teacher', and an awkward look flashed across her face.

At this moment, a male dressed in white also descended from the skies.

"It is because this is fate! It was fate that brought us together."

The male jumped off his flying sword and there was a calm look on his face as he spoke.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying glared at him. "Fate my ass! It's because the badge An Lin received for this mission was detected by our badge. Following its presence, we found them here!"

An Lin nodded his head in realization.

However, the male refused to give in. "Is this not fate? Amidst the unseen, there is naturally a connection. It was in the intangibility, and through the interlinked karma of various affairs, that you and I met!"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying: "…"

She felt that if she kept talking nonsense with this male, they would never reach a conclusion. So, she completely ignored him.

Through Earth Immortal Yue Ying's introduction, An Lin learned that the male was called Earth Immortal Ming Yuan 1 . He was also a teacher at their school and was tasked to deal with the Demon Emperor together with Earth Immortal Yue Ying.

Afterward, Earth Immortal Yue Ying took out a document. In this document, it was requested that An Lin and his team assist Earth Immortal Young Immortal in completing this mission.

"This mission is very challenging. Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying was beaming as she waved the document around.

There was a dark expression on An Lin's face. "I'm very shocked," he nodded.

There was no pleasant surprise at all… there was only shock and horror!

The Demon Emperor was an enemy of the Soul Formation Stage! With a mere rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, what were they going to do?

Even if they just stood to the side and cheered, there was still a possibility that they could be blown to bits by the shockwaves of the battle!

Was it the university that had gone mad, or was it the Heavenly Court that had gone mad?

Although he was very unwilling, An Lin still called up Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan to inform them of this news.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan needed to hurry over from other places, so it was decided that they would set off for Tibet tomorrow.

After informing his team of this news, An Lin helped Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan check-in to the hotel. Then, he told them all the information he knew.

What An Lin couldn't understand was, they didn't plan on cooperating with the Soul Formation Stage cultivators of the mortal world in their operation. Rather, they planned to operate alone.

Moreover, the target location for this mission was directly set as the Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet.

"Teacher, do you really think that the Demon Emperor is hiding near the Ancient Jade Pond?" An Lin asked.

After the location of the demon realm was exposed, human cultivators banded together to attack it.

However, all that they found in the demon realm were a few weak demon cultivators. As for the Demon Emperor, he was nowhere to be seen.

From the moment that supernatural phenomena descended upon the Ancient Jade Pond until now, many human cultivators had linked it together with the activities of the Demon Tribe. Countless expedition teams had headed over, yet they made no major discoveries.

"Hah, you'll find out when you get there. There's going to be a big surprise!" Earth Immortal Yue Ying wore an enigmatic expression and gave An Lin another fright.

Big surprise?

Thinking back to the surprises that she mentioned before, he instantly felt uneasy.

Till the end however, Earth Immortal Yue Ying still didn't reveal any clues. Instead, she headed straight back to her room to sleep.

To this, An Lin could only shake his head in exasperation.

Right at this moment, Earth Immortal Ming Yuan patted his shoulders with an understanding look. "Student An Lin, do you also find it annoying that Earth Immortal Yue Ying left you hanging?"

As if finding someone of the same opinion, An Lin nodded emphatically.

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan laughed heartily. "I, on the other hand, never leave people hanging!"

An Lin's eyes lit up. "Teacher, are you going to explain to me what's going on at the Ancient Jade Pond?"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan shook his head.

"Student An Lin, I just looked at your fortune and I won't keep you guessing. I'll tell you straight up.

"In this coming operation… there are ominous signs for you!"

An Lin: "…"

Chapter 89: Reflections and Illusions

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan was the teacher in charge of clairvoyance studies. His fortune telling was much more powerful and accurate than Crack Shot Clairvoyant.

Knowing this fact, An Lin was completely stupefied upon hearing his prediction.

After a long time, he asked miserably, "Teacher… can I not go then…?"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan smiled faintly. "There are times when what you attempt to avoid becomes even more unavoidable. The threads of fate lie amidst the unseen. It may happen that due to the very fact you try to avoid a certain fate, you allow those threads of fate to successfully intertwine…"

An Lin grimaced. "Teacher Ming Yuan, please speak more clearly!"

"Uh-huh, you can't pull out. This isn't something I can influence," Earth Immortal Ming Yuan answered briefly.

An Lin: "…"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan patted An Lin's shoulder and consoled, "Every cloud has a silver lining. A lot of the time, great risk brings with it a great opportunity. Perhaps this is a chance for you to grow stronger!"

"Teacher, thank you for enlightening me!" An Lin said gratefully.

Sure enough, An Lin felt better after hearing Earth Immortal Ming Yuan's explanation.

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan chuckled and nodded his head.

He actually had a very strong impression of An Lin. The memories of the Gallant Human and Dog Duo fighting fearlessly against fate remained clear in his mind. Their actions allowed him to attain a deeper understanding of destiny and fate.

Thus, he thought very highly of this youth who always did the unexpected.

In the coming journey, this youth could perhaps reap even larger rewards…

…

The next day, both Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng returned.

Following their return, they, along with An Lin, Earth Immortal Yue Ying, and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan, started to head off toward the Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet.

This was an independent operation conducted by the Heavenly Court, so Tian Lingling and Dongfang Xue didn't follow along.

An Lin received a picture of Lin Yi from Tian Lingling, and he promised that if he came across Lin Yi, and Lin Yi was in a perilous situation, he would definitely lend a hand.

Afterward, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both jumped onto Earth Immortal Yue Ying's book, and they flew off toward Tibet.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan followed closely behind on their flying swords.

Tibet had an average elevation of over four thousand meters and was described as the 'Roof of the World'.

Moreover, the destination of their journey, the Ancient Jade Pond, was amidst a mountain range which was over six thousand meters above sea level.

After an hour of flight, what reflected into their eyes was an endless stretch of snow-capped mountains.

As they flew higher and higher, the sky started to become unclouded and clear.

There were scarcely any animals or vegetation below, crushed rocks and glaciers the only things to be seen.

"Our destination is just ahead!" Earth Immortal Yue Ying suddenly said as she landed her book slowly.

An Lin looked ahead and saw an expanse of water.

He finally understood why this pond was called the Ancient Jade Pond. Looking from afar, it really did look like a piece of ancient green jade. It was sleek and transparent, and there were ripples of azure waves.

Even though the surrounding environment was frigid and cold, the pond water appeared smooth and gentle, making one feel happy and at ease.

If it wasn't for the rugged terrain surrounding it, as well as the lack of transportation, it might have become a famous scenic spot.

Right now, there were numerous human cultivators around the perimeter of the Ancient Jade Pond. These were cultivators who had come to investigate.

When they saw Earth Immortal Yue Ying and the others descend from the skies, a look of respect surfaced on their faces.

On Earth, cultivators above the rank of Spirit Nurturing Stage were already considered as the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Now that they had come to investigate, other cultivators naturally wouldn't dare to bother them.

"Heh, there are remnant auras of the domains of other Soul Formation Stage cultivators. It looks like they've already been here once. Clearly, though, they didn't discover much." Earth Immortal Yue Ying flipped to some page in the ancient book, and she narrowed her eyes as chuckled.

The domains that she spoke of were one of the traits of Soul Formation Stage cultivators. These were personal domains which were created when cultivators fully grasped and mastered their enlightenments.

An Lin glanced at Earth Immortal Yue Ying, who was brimming with confidence. He knew that it was about time for her to display her skills.

Sure enough, Earth Immortal Yue Ying continued,

"If one doesn't know about some of the secrets of this place, then there is no way that they can discover its mysterious principles.

"Light from the sky, reflections in the water; the imaginary and the real blend and mingle together…

"Come over here everyone, stand next to me."

Earth Immortal Yue Ying gestured at An Lin and the others.

An Lin and the others were perplexed. Even Earth Immortal Ming Yuan had a look of confusion.

However, they complied with Earth Immortal Yue Ying's request anyway and stood next to her.

Then, Earth Immortal Yue Ying fished out a phone and used an immortal spell to make it suspend in the air.

"Come, come, come. Such stunning scenery. Everyone, smile at the camera!"

An Lin: "…"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan: "…"

…

Snap!

The phone captured Earth Immortal Yue Ying's happy smile, as well as the cold and indifferent expression of the four others.

Behind them was the beautiful Ancient Jade Pond, as well as the vast expanse of snowy mountains.

"Okay, Yue Ying. We've snapped a group photo already, don't you think that it's time to enter the Ancient Jade Mystic Realm?"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan asked in exasperation.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying was the only one amongst them who knew how to get into the Ancient Jade Mystic Realm. As such, she was the only person who could lead them into the mystic realm now.

Hearing that a mystic realm really did exist here, An Lin and the others couldn't help but feel invigorated.

However, Earth Immortal Yue Ying shook her head. "Now's not the time to enter. We must wait for the moon to rise before we can open the passage. Before that, I'll brief you guys on the specifics of this mission."

Saying this, Earth Immortal Yue Ying smiled at An Lin and his team.

"Do you know why I brought you guys along to the mystic realm?"

An Lin and the others all shook their heads.

So they could fight with the Demon Emperor? That was clearly impossible!

The Heavenly Court wouldn't nonchalantly let An Lin and the others be subject to such needless risk.

"It's because the Ancient Jade Mystic Realm has already been broken up into four large mystic realms," Earth Immortal Yue Ying explained. "There's the White Bone Realm, which only cultivators of the Dao Body Stage can enter. There's the Spirit Essence Realm, which only cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage can enter. Then, there's the Soul Separation Realm, which only cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage can enter. Finally, there's the Convergence Realm, where all three ranks of the realms converge."

"Is that so," Xuanyuan Cheng said. "All three of these ranks are represented in our lineup. Are we going to carry out missions in all the different mystic realms?"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying nodded. "That's right. This Ancient Jade Mystic Realm is a purifying spell formation. It's especially used by the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Emperor Zi Wei to purify the Black Wing Tribe's Evil-Slaying Sword.

"This spell formation is called the Three Extremes Spirit Destruction Formation. It can draw on the power of the earth and divide this power into three streams. These streams of power can then be used to purify the Evil-Slaying Sword of its sword spirit, henceforth allowing it to birth a new sword spirit.

"However, this spell formation has a flaw. When purifying the Evil-Slaying Sword of its sword spirit, its aura leaks into the three realms, spawning monstrosities of all strengths.

"These monstrosities are like blockages which clog up the operation and flow of the spell formation.

"Our task is to enter these three realms and annihilate all of the monstrosities, thereby clearing out this spell formation!"

Hearing Earth Immortal Yue Ying's description, An Lin's mind suddenly felt exhausted.

By the looks of it, another mighty cultivator was playing around with weapons, and they were once again asked to lend a hand and labor away.

It was just that this labor was a bit high-end.

Heavenly Emperor Zi Wei was a True God, and the Black Wing Tribe was an especially mysterious and powerful tribe. Furthermore, the Evil-Slaying Sword was an extremely powerful immortal tool…

"Oh, that's right. The Demon Emperor and Blood God are also inside the mystic realm. Their aim is probably to destroy the spell formation while it's weak and then retrieve the Evil-Slaying Sword.

"They used a magic treasure of the Black Wing Tribe to force their way into the mystic realm. In order to force one's way in like that, one must have a rank of Soul Formation Stage.

"So, the enemies are only active in the Soul Separation Realm and Convergence Realm. You guys don't need to worry about these people at all.

"Earth Immortal Ming Yuan and I will destroy them all." Earth Immortal Yue Ying added.

Destroy them all?

Hearing this, An Lin's mind felt even more exhausted.

Why, you ask?

Because his blood… was drawn for nothing!

If the Demon Emperor and Blood God were both killed, what was going to be left for the human cultivators? The promise to give him a storage ring would also become void.

Sigh, life really was full of surprises…

Afterward, Earth Immortal Yue Ying continued to inform them of what they needed to look out for in the mystic realm.

Night fell, and a bright moon was reflected in the waters.

On the surface of the Ancient Jade Pond, the white glow of the moon glimmered. It was as if the vast sky of stars and constellations was contained within this pond.

…

On full alert, five people stood above the Ancient Jade Pond.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying took out a badge, and a streak of light shot into An Lin and the others' bodies.

"Lord of the Stars; Master of Manifestations; Myrtle Royal Law; Reflections and Illusions—Shatter!"

Following this command, their bodies started to slowly shimmer and disappear, going from something to nothing. Finally, they disappeared from this world…

Chapter 90: Army of Beautiful Women

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the White Bone Realm, the sky was grey and murky.

The lighting within the mystic realm was dim and gloomy, just like the rest of the entire region.

A burst of light flashed past, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan descended into the White Bone Realm.

A look of surprise appeared in An Lin's eyes as he looked at the white bones around him.

Most of these were human bones, with some others being skeletons of unknown beasts.

Skeletons and other remains were strewn all across the floor, producing a scene which appeared especially spectacular.

"This place is deathly still, there's no other life here." An Lin looked around in confusion.

The black ground was littered with white bones, and the entire place seemed stagnant and dead. There were no living beings in sight.

"Still, don't be careless," Xu Xiaolan said cautiously, "Teacher Yue Ying said that this spell formation hasn't been cleaned out for a long time. There should be quite a lot of monstrosities gathered here." She had already drawn her sword.

An Lin nodded and was on full alert as he walked forward.

The White Bone Realm wasn't all that large, with an area of just two square kilometers.

As the two of them walked through the White Bone Realm, it appeared as if the surrounding environment was also changing.

Wisps of black mist rose from the floor, and this had An Lin and Xu Xiaolan on high alert.

Suddenly, a human skeleton walked out from the black mist directly in front on An Lin.

This skeleton walked toward An Lin in an alluring manner, its left hand on its hips and its buttocks slightly raised. It tilted its head and asked in a soft and intimate voice, "Sir, is this servant beautiful?"

An Lin: "…"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

Seeing the strange expression on their faces, the skeleton looked down toward its own body uncertainly.

Then, it turned around speechlessly and walked back into the black mist.

Three seconds later, a seductive woman who was dressed revealingly walked out of the black mist.

She provocatively caressed her breasts and licked her scarlet lips. "Sir, is this servant beautiful?"

An Lin: "…"

Xu Xiaolan: "…"

If it was this beauty, not the skeleton, who came out first, then perhaps their reactions would have been a bit more positive.

Now, however…

An Lin didn't hesitate for a second and instantly threw a Mountain Quaking Fist!

Boom!

The gigantic golden fist smashed into the beautiful lady, beating her back into her original form as a skeleton.

The black mist in front of An Lin also started dissipating with the destruction of the skeleton.

"Perhaps we need to exterminate all the skeletons within the black mist before we can unlock the passage of this mystic realm." Watching the black mist vanish, there was a look of realization on An Lin's face.

Xu Xiaolan nodded in agreement. However, she knitted her eyebrows and scowled, "Just on a visual estimate, these wisps of black mist number in the hundreds. Not only is it time-consuming if we destroy them one by one, but it's also extremely taxing on our energy."

An Lin thought about this for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up. "Come on, let's go do an experiment first!"

Saying this, he ran up to another wisp of black mist.

Sure enough, another sultry beauty walked out of the black mist and started teasing him.

Seeing this beauty, An Lin instantly turned around and started running away.

"Aww, don't leave sir!" Seeing him run away, the beauty was extremely concerned. She started to give chase and chilly blades of light flashed across her fingertips.

"Xiaolan, I'll do a lap around this White Bone Realm and draw all of the skeletons over!

"You stay here and prepare an immortal spell of mass destruction!"

An Lin shouted toward Xu Xiaolan as he was being chased by the beauty, and he ran toward another wisp of black mist.

"M-hm… this is a great idea! It's time-saving and energy-efficient!"

There was a glimmer in Xu Xiaolan's eyes, and she instantly started preparing a flame spell.

Every time An Lin neared a wisp of black mist, a beauty would run out and start chasing after him.

The appearance of these beauties all looked very similar.

Glancing backward, it was as if a bunch of Korean beauties was chasing after him. Even what they shouted was the same: "Aww, don't leave sir!"

Of course, amidst this army of beauties, there were some skeletons who failed in their transformation.

These skeletons also cried seductively, "Aww, don't leave sir!"

Seeing this, An Lin's skin crawled with goosebumps.

Sh*t! Don't these retarded skeletons look in the mirror before trying to seduce people?!

An Lin was almost finished running a lap around the White Bone Realm and an army consisting of hundreds of beautiful women had already converged behind him.

Crackling and snapping noises sounded as they trampled across the bone-strewn floor, and it sounded alarming, like the crashing of torrential rain.

As there were too many skeletons shouting it, the seductive cry of 'aww, don't leave sir!' had already become a monstrous roar and lost all of its allure. In fact, it was beginning to sound a little frightening.

Elsewhere, Xu Xiaolan had already finished preparing her flame spell formation.

She had even used her sword to etch out a circle on the ground, signifying the range of the spell formation.

An Lin glanced backward. Seeing that none of the beautiful ladies were lagging behind, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was also a slight hint of disappointment.

Being chased by an army of beauties was actually quite a unique experience for him.

Because… this was the first time he had been chased by so many beautiful ladies.

Although he knew that they were fake, he still felt fairly jubilant.

Once the entire army of beauties was within the circle, An Lin instantly accelerated and dashed out of the spell formation.

Then, he turned around and glanced at the chasing army.

There was a golden glint in his eyes at this moment, and a supreme might fluctuated outwards.

Instantly, over half of the beauties collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain their footing.

Even the beauties who were exuding a strong aura faltered for a second.

At the same time, Xu Xiaolan formed a hand seal, and the ground encircled within the flame spell formation became blistering hot.

A moment later, a soaring column of flames burst from the scorching floor.

Boom!

The searing flames enveloped all of the beauties within the spell formation.

Within the flame spell formation, the beauties all reverted back to their original appearances.

The skeletons screeched miserably, and they collapsed one after another.

The flames gradually died down and vanished. The army of beauties had already turned back into white bones, and these were now scattered on the floor, black smoke rising from them.

At the same time, the wisps of black mist within the White Bone Realm all started to dissipate.

"Mission accomplished!" Xu Xiaolan's face was a little pale as she walked toward An Lin.

Evidently, the spell formation just then had taken quite a toll on her.

"We've already exterminated all the monstrosities," An Lin said as he looked around, "the passage toward the Convergence Realm should appear anytime now."

Earth Immortal Yue Ying had told them that once they cleared out the White Bone Realm, the passage leading toward the Convergence Realm would appear.

It was a one-way passage and would only allow one to pass from the White Bone Realm into the Convergence Realm.

All An Lin and Xu Xiaolan needed to do was wait at the entrance of the passage. Once Earth Immortal Yue Ying dealt with all the enemies in the Convergence Realm, she would notify for them to enter through a spirit seal.

Suddenly, the earth started to tremor, and a gigantic white door started to appear in the White Bone Realm.

Within the door was a pure white glow and it was impossible to see what was inside.

This was probably the passage linking the two mystic realms.

"Let's go, we'll wait at the entrance of the passage," An Lin said.

Tap, tap…

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming from within the door.

"Be careful! Something's coming over from the passageway!" There was a serious expression on Xu Xiaolan's face as she looked toward the door.

An Lin was also startled, and his entire body tensed up.

Isn't this a one-way passage? Why is there something walking over?

Chapter 91: Sudden Change in the Mystic Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the Spirit Essence Realm, green water flowed through the entire space.

Pythons slithered about, and they looked coldly toward the white-robed male who was slowly walking over.

A green mist permeated through the air. This mist was highly toxic and could kill silently and formlessly.

Xuanyuan Cheng walked with his sword in hand, and without exception, all the pythons which leaped at him were diced into bits.

He was shrouded in a sphere of white air which blocked out the highly toxic mist.

"The source of the poisonous mist… is in this area."

He raised his head and saw a gigantic figure slowly appear.

This figure was one hundred feet tall and exuded an extremely powerful aura. On its gigantic body, there were nine hideous snake heads.

They hissed and regarded Xuanyuan Cheng coldly.

An astonishing aura burst out from Xuanyuan Cheng's body.

Brandishing his sword, he leaped fearlessly toward the nine-headed monstrosity!

…

The Soul Separation Realm was a stretch of lush green grasslands.

The air here was pure and fresh, and the vital energy flowed rich and dense. Gusts of gentle wind blew over, making one feel relaxed and at ease.

Once Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan entered, they saw a body lying abruptly on the grasslands.

Resting on the grasslands was a corpse of a black dragon which spanned over three hundred feet in length. It was dry and shriveled, and there were numerous wicked gashes on its back.

Although it was already dead, the remnants of an astonishing might still emanated from it.

"This black dragon has been sucked dry of its blood essence. This was clearly done by the Blood Tribe."

As Earth Immortal Yue Ying gazed at the dragon, bursts of golden symbols leaped from her book and melted into the corpse.

Through the analysis of these golden symbols, she was able to sense the remnant energy within the dragon corpse.

Finishing this analysis, she garnered a rough idea of the enemy's power.

"This dragon was attacked by three enemies. Two were Blood Gods with a rank of around the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage.

"The other was probably the Demon Emperor that An Lin and the others spoke of.

"However, his powers seem a little strange. It doesn't really seem like he's transitioning into a member of the Blood Tribe…"

"Regardless of whether the Demon Emperor is transitioning, all we need to do is slaughter him," Earth Immortal Ming Yuan chuckled softly. "Let's get a move on, we can't let them continue analyzing and destroying the spell formation."

Earth Immortal Yue Ying nodded. Both she and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan were cultivators of the Soul Formation Final Stage. Against those three enemies, it could be said that they would face no pressure.

Then, the two of them walked toward the glowing door which led to the Convergence Realm…

…

Within the White Bone Realm.

The glowing door gradually became dim and gloomy.

It wasn't because the white glow had softened, rather, it was because a streak of darkness was slowly swallowing this light.

Eventually, the passage became pitch-black.

Thump, thump…

A thumping sound akin to a heartbeat came from within the passageway.

This thumping became louder and louder, and it was as if it were tearing away at a final barrier.

"Xiaolan… do you know any way to escape from this mystic realm?"

This thumping noise made An Lin's flesh crawl, and his heart started beating faster.

Xu Xiaolan shook her head. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and she was also feeling extremely terrified as she glanced toward the pitch-black passageway.

A frightening aura seeped through the door into the White Bone Realm, causing their breathing to become difficult and labored.

The original plan was for Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan to clear out the enemies in the Convergence Realm. When that was done, they would notify An Lin and the others, thereby signaling it was safe for them to enter.

However, the situation right now was clearly not right!

Crack…

A crack appeared in the gigantic door. Then, it spread outwards like a spiderweb.

A pair of pale and smooth hands suddenly stabbed through the door and ripped outwards!

Boom!

The entire space they were in started trembling. The door was ripped open just like that.

Forming into hurricanes, the devastating spatial turbulence whipped around the surroundings.

Anything touched by this turbulence was obliterated, vanishing from the world.

Dodging this violent burst of spatial turbulence, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan retreated continuously.

A female dressed in black entered through the shattered door, and her small pale foot stepped into the bone-strewn realm.

Once she appeared, the spatial turbulence started to die down. Even the gigantic door started to close off.

This was a beautiful female, and her hair flowed behind her like silk strands. There was even a pair of black wings folded behind her.

Black wings?!

Seeing this, An Lin's eyes widened. Could it be that this female was from the Black Wing Tribe?

The black-clothed female also became aware of their presence.

When they glanced at each other, it felt as if her pitch-black and intense eyes were going to suck An Lin's soul in.

With just a single glance, a feeling of terror gripped at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's hearts. They became so debilitated that they could barely stand up straight.

She's too powerful!

Under her glance, An Lin felt utterly unable to resist. It was as if he were facing an endless abyss.

The female in black didn't pay any heed to them, continuing to look around and shifting her gaze away as if they were no more than dirt.

A blood-red nail floated in the air beside her, emitting a strange red glow.

"Wrong place…

"Realm Piercing Nail, continue!"

Following this chilly command, the blood-red nail started to quiver. Immediately afterward, it pierced toward the void.

Boom!

The void started to shatter, and a pitch-black tunnel appeared.

The bone-strewn land started to tremor. This was already beyond simply tearing apart the void…

It was clear that this spell formation had also been impacted greatly!

Without glancing back, the female turned around and walked into the pitch-black tunnel.

After she entered, the tunnel slowly started to disappear.

Eventually, there was only silence.

"She left just like that?"

An Lin was in disbelief. He stood perplexed, gazing at where the tunnel had been.

"Maybe she simply sees us as harmless ants," Xu Xiaolan laughed bitterly.

An Lin finally came to his senses at this moment. "A member of the Black Wing Tribe has come over, and she's extremely powerful at that," he said urgently. "Her target is most likely the Evil-Slaying Sword. We must inform Teacher Yue Ying as soon as possible!"

"How can we inform her? This spirit seal can only be activated by Teacher Yue Ying.

"Also, this spirit seal can only send two types of signals, burning and shining.

"Once the spirit seal burns, it signifies that we've entered the Convergence Realm. Now, however…"

There was a look of helplessness on Xu Xiaolan's face as she held the yellow spirit seal.

Hearing this, An Lin also sighed.

He took his phone out and found that there was no signal. He couldn't help but shake his head, there really was nothing they could do.

"I've also realized another problem…" An Lin gestured around at the empty White Bone Realm. "It seems like the female shattered the passage which leads to the Convergence Realm. Moreover, Teacher Yue Ying can't enter here due to rank restrictions. Are we going to be stuck here forever?"

Xu Xiaolan blinked her beautiful eyes as she realized the severity of this problem.

However, she couldn't come up with any ideas either, and could only sit down in defeat, an anxious look on her face.

…

In the Spirit Essence Realm.

The last head of the nine-headed monstrosity was sliced off by a white sword projection, and its humongous body crashed onto the floor.

Xuanyuan Cheng flicked his sword, ridding it of the monster's blood.

There was a look of exhaustion on his face, but luckily he wasn't injured.

As the nine-headed monstrosity collapsed, the toxic mist permeating through the air also started to slowly dissipate and vanish. A pure white door materialized.

"Uh-huh, all I have to do is wait for the spirit seal to burn. Then, I can enter." Xuanyuan Cheng thought aloud as he looked at the spirit seal in his hand.

After a while, the spirit seal in his hand suddenly shone brilliantly.

"Huh? What does it mean if the spirit seal shines? We didn't discuss this beforehand."

Xuanyuan Cheng was stumped as he looked at the spirit seal.

Could it be that Teacher Yue Ying sent the wrong signal? Did she actually want the spirit seal to burn?

Glancing at the glowing white door, Xuanyuan Cheng became hesitant.

To enter, or not to enter?

Chapter 92: Because I'm Your Teacher

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's spirit seals also started emitting a brilliant light. However, there was absolutely nothing they could do apart from stare at the spirit seal dazedly.

Just as they looked at each other speechlessly, a white glow suddenly radiated from within their bodies.

"This is…"

A look of joy appeared in An Lin's eyes. He recalled that this was also what had happened when they entered the mystic realm.

That was to say, this white glow could teleport them directly out of the mystic realm!

Sure enough, their bodies started to shimmer, eventually disappearing from the White Bone Realm all together.

All An Lin and Xu Xiaolan felt was their surroundings blur before they found themselves back next to the Ancient Jade Pond.

Once they arrived back at the Ancient Jade Pond, their expressions changed drastically.

This was because the surroundings of the Ancient Jade Pond had already transformed into a deadly battlefield!

Vital energy swarmed about, and the rumbles of immortal spells were unceasing.

The human cultivators were locked into battle with the blood tribe army, and cries of battle echoed throughout the entire battleground.

In the distance, a bloody pool blanketed the ground.

A male with golden hair and crimson eyes stood in the center of this blood pool, and with a strike of his palm, he swatted away the lightning which flashed before him. Then, he summoned a thousand feet long blood dragon which, bringing with it an astonishing might, slithered toward the lightning shrouded cultivator.

"That's Longhu's sect leader, Heavenly Teacher Zhang!" An Lin exclaimed.

The golden-haired male on the ground emitted a powerful aura, and it was most likely that he was a Blood God!

Up in the sky, a handsome male with black wings was standing guard next to a pitch-black entrance.

Three cultivators—Wudang's Sect Leader Daoist Priest Xuyun, Kunlun Immortal Sect's Sect Leader Spirit Child Shi, and Shangqing Immortal Sect's Sect Leader Daoist You Mu—attacked him together yet were still unable to subdue him.

Down on the ground, hundreds of human cultivators battled with the army of the Blood Tribe.

The Blood Tribe had mobilized many personnel, and they both outnumbered and outgunned the human cultivators.

However, the blades of the human cultivators were all smeared with an especially poisonous blood.

Once a member of the Blood Tribe was injured by one of these blood smeared weapons, they would instantly die from the poison. Even Blood Kings were unable to avoid this fate.

Thanks to this poisonous blood, the human cultivators currently held an advantage in the battle.

"An Lin, who would've thought that your blood would be so useful!"

There was a look of astonishment on Xu Xiaolan's face as she looked toward the countless powerful Blood Tribe members who were collapsed to the floor and frothing at the mouth.

She had heard An Lin mention before that his blood could poison even blood kings to death.

She was a bit skeptical when she first heard this. However, now that this scene was laid out before her, she was absolutely stunned.

There was another burst of white light next to the Ancient Jade Pond.

Xuanyuan Cheng appeared next to the pond with a look of bewilderment on his face. He was confused as to why he was teleported out before he could even enter the Convergence Realm.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan also appeared next to the Ancient Jade Pond.

They were both severely injured and looked to be in sore straits.

"Hurry up and escape! Return to Baiyun Temple and contact the Heavenly Court. Just tell them that Dark Night has come!"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's voice suddenly sounded in An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xuanyuan Cheng's mind. It boomed like thunder and gave them a start.

Xuanyuan Cheng reacted insanely quickly, and he instantly got on his sword and flew toward An Lin.

A crack suddenly appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a female walked out of the crack with her wings flapping.

She held a pitch-black sword in her hands, her aura vast and profound.

Two golden-haired, crimson-eyed Blood Gods stood respectfully behind her, their heads slightly bowed.

This female had a very prestigious status.

She was Dark Night, ranked in the Return to Void Stage and a member of the Twelve Monarchs. The Twelve Monarchs were part of the Black Wing Tribe, a tribe allied with the Blood Tribe.

"The sword spirit has successfully broken free from the Three Extremes Spirit Destruction Formation already.

"Demon Emperor, with you as the new sword spirit, I won't treat you unfairly.

"Now, I'll let you drink the fresh blood of these cultivators to your heart's content."

Dark Night looked toward Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan. They activated their defensive spell formations, yet these were already beaten and cracked from their previous battles.

She then turned her gaze to the flying Xuanyuan Cheng, and her lips curled into a slight smile.

"Presumably, these cultivators who are stained with the aura of the mystic realm have been sent over by the Heavenly Court. It's probably better to kill them…"

Dark Night snapped her fingers and a black burst of energy which possessed terrifying power flew toward Xuanyuan Cheng.

Seeing this, Earth Immortal Yue Ying turned pale with fright. She had initially thought that with her and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan here, Dark Night wouldn't care about the life or death of a few small cultivators.

Unexpectedly, Dark Night was actually able to detect that Xuanyuan Cheng's aura was different from that of other cultivators.

"An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, get on!"

Xuanyuan Cheng was already beside An Lin, and he yelled loudly.

He was completely unaware of the deadly burst of black energy streaking toward his back.

"Be careful!" An Lin roared.

He dashed over quickly and pushed Xuanyuan Cheng aside. At the same time, he raised the black brick in his hands and held it in front of himself.

Boom!

The black burst of energy erupted on the brick.

A devastating power pounded against the brick, yet it was unable to penetrate through. In fact, it was unable to leave even a single mark on the brick.

Even though the black brick was able to block her attack, An Lin still received internal injuries from the shockwaves, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The black brick he held in his hands was none other than the Chaotic Alloy Brick which he had won in the system lottery.

Hardest in the world… It indeed lived up to that claim!

Seeing that the burst of energy was blocked by a cultivator of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, Dark Night also became slightly dazed.

"Interesting, let me see how you dodge this strike!"

The Evil-Slaying Sword floated in the air, its sword tip pointing toward An Lin. She smiled calmly and snapped her fingers again.

How powerful would an immortal weapon be when wielded by a mighty cultivator of the Return to Void Stage?

With just a flick of their fingers, they would be able to kill a cultivator of the Soul Formation Stage!

The Evil-Slaying Sword drew a deadly arc, its dazzling black glow the salient color in the skies.

Under this strike, space also became viscous and dense.

It was as if Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan's bodies had been shackled, and they could only watch on dazedly.

A feeling of death enveloped An Lin's body as he gazed at the approaching Evil-Slaying Sword, and his mind went completely blank.

This was an unstoppable power, this was a power which made one despair…

Right at this moment, however, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

She threw her arms out and her long curly hair fluttered in the wind.

This firm yet fragile figure replaced the black arc of death and became the only scenery reflected in An Lin's eyes.

A gigantic ancient book was suspended before the female, and a brilliant golden light erupted from it.

Countless golden symbols scattered into the surroundings, forming a domain and facing off against the strike of the Evil-Slaying Sword!

The Evil-Slaying Sword faltered for a moment as it cut through the golden domain and pierced into the ancient book.

Soon after though, an even more astonishing burst of black energy erupted from the Evil-Slaying Sword, and it viciously pierced through the ancient book.

Eventually, the pitch-black sword continued forward and pierced through the body standing in front of An Lin…

Although the female's body was pierced, she gripped tightly onto the sharp blade. Bursts of golden symbols enveloped the sword, causing the congealed air to return to normal.

"Run!" she cried with blood seeping out of her mouth.

"Teacher… why…

"Why did you have to go so far?"

An Lin's eyes reddened as he looked at the resolute figure standing in front of him.

He was merely a weak cultivator with a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body.

Why would she, a cultivator of the Soul Formation Final Stage, sacrifice herself to save them…

It wasn't worth it!

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's beautiful face had already turned pale, yet she still squeezed out a smile toward An Lin.

"You're already calling me teacher, do you still need to ask me why?

"Isn't this reason enough…

"I'm your teacher!"

Chapter 93: Are You Willing to Sacrifice Your Life?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Earth Immortal Yue Ying's answer, An Lin's whole body trembled slightly as he stared at the figure in front of him, seemingly in a daze.

An extremely powerful sword aura once again erupted from the Evil-Slaying Sword as it began to quiver violently, attempting to free itself from Earth Immortal Yue Ying's grasp.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying began to moan lightly in pain as the sword continued to stir up her wounds.

However, she held even more firmly to the blade of the sword, even as blood poured from her hands.

She began to release golden seals from her hands, temporarily suppressing the power of the sword.

"What are you still doing here? Run!" Earth Immortal Yue Ying yelled.

In the distance, Earth Immortal Ming Yuan charged toward the Dark Night Monarch of the Black Wing Tribe while wielding a longsword, in an attempt to buy time for An Lin and his group to escape, but he was stopped in his tracks by the two Blood Gods stationed behind the Dark Night Monarch.

Xuanyuan Cheng flew toward An Lin with his sword acting as a vehicle beneath him. "An Lin, get on here! We have to run!"

However, An Lin shook his head at Xuanyuan Cheng. "We won't be able to escape… What do you think the chances of escaping from Return to Void Stage cultivators would be for Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators like us?"

"I don't care how slim our chances may be, are you going to let Master Yue Ying's efforts be in vain!?"

Xuanyuan Cheng glared at An Lin, his usual calm demeanor crumbling in the face of his rage.

An Lin shook his head once again. "It doesn't have to be like this, if we were to run now, we'd most likely all die here.

"However, there is a second option…"

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at An Lin with confusion written on his face, clearly not sure what he was getting at.

But he quickly recalled something and his expression changed upon this recollection. "Don't tell me that you're planning on using that technique…"

"That's right, if I use that technique, maybe everyone would have an opportunity to survive.

"Master Yue Ying is willing to sacrifice herself for us, why shouldn't I return the favor?"

An Lin did not know why, but he felt as if a heavy load was lifted from his shoulders upon saying this.

Without the Soul Locking Ice Coffin from the university, nor Chang'e's second-grade immortal pills, he may actually die this time.

An Lin's gaze lingered wistfully on Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng before falling on Earth Immortal Ming Yuan, who was still engaged in a heated battle with the two Blood Gods.

Finally, he rested his gaze on the figure in front of him that was on the brink of collapse.

An Lin took a deep breath, then made his way toward Earth Immortal Yue Ying.

"An Lin, what the hell are you doing…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying gritted her teeth tightly in anger as An Lin resisted her instructions and began to make his way toward her instead of running away.

Her struggling figure began to sway uncontrollably from a mix of anger and desperation.

Even the Dark Night Monarch, looking on from mid-air, was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting a cultivator of a mere Tenth Stage Dao Body to do what he was doing now.

"Master Yue Ying, thank you."

An Lin felt as if those were perhaps his final words.

After saying this, he looked toward the woman in black garments standing in mid-air before extending a finger towards her.

Finger of the Heavenly Dao!

In that instant, the Dark Night Monarch's expression changed drastically.

It was as if she'd seen some extremely terrifying technique, and she retreated explosively in response whilst instantaneously conjuring hundreds of layers of dark crystal walls in front of her. In her horrified frenzy, she'd even produced a golden formation disk which was resting in her hand.

Three seconds later…

There was still no change whatsoever to An Lin's finger.

Cold sweat began to manifest itself on the Dark Night Monarch's forehead. She glared extremely cautiously at An Lin's finger, wondering to herself why he hadn't unleashed his technique.

An Lin was also sweating bullets at this time. This was exactly the same Finger of the Heavenly Dao technique as last time, why was there no effect?

One minute later…

An Lin continued to maintain the same pose and his shoulder was starting to ache a little, but he didn't dare to move…

The Dark Night Monarch was also expending a lot of power maintaining her defensive techniques, but she also did not dare to let her guard down…

Her intuition for danger and death was always very accurate. She truly did feel an extremely terrifying power from An Lin's finger, a power that could spell her death!

Even though the power in that finger seemed to have long vanished.

But the Dark Night Monarch knew that this cultivator was definitely waiting for her to let down her guard before striking…

She wasn't going to fall for that!

"Puah…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying spat out a mouthful of blood before kneeling heavily onto the ground, her body no longer capable of holding itself upright.

"Master!"

An Lin turned to look toward Earth Immortal Yue Ying, panic growing in his heart at her worsening condition.

Taking advantage of An Lin's moment of distraction, the Dark Night Monarch unleashed a palm toward him.

The power of her palm pierced through space, instantly colliding with An Lin's body.

An Lin felt an indescribably huge amount of power enveloping him, as if his body was going to be shredded into pieces by that one palm.

His body flew hundreds of meters through the air like a cannonball, before finally colliding with a mountain, where he created an indentation on the side of the mountain upon contact.

If it wasn't for the Earth Lotus Supreme Skill that An Lin had cultivated to strengthen his body to the extreme, that one palm would have surely taken his life.

However, even though he was not immediately killed, he was still in dire straits.

Blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs spilled out of his mouth as his whole body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to move, but he found that he could not even move a single finger.

"Am I going to die?"

An Lin smiled bitterly as his gaze rested on Xuanyuan Cheng and the others, his heart unwilling to accept the stark reality facing him.

As the situation was now, wouldn't everyone die anyway?

Why was it that just when he worked up the determination to sacrifice himself, something like this happened…

The Dark Night Monarch looked on at An Lin's grievous stage, also feeling quite surprised.

She had always thought that this inconspicuous cultivator was some mighty figure who was hiding his true power.

But seeing how the situation had unfolded, it seemed she overestimated him.

Aside from extreme durability, it seemed like there was nothing special about him.

At most, he perhaps also had some sort of extreme bluffing technique to swindle opponents.

Even though that was her thought process, the Dark Night Monarch still wouldn't underestimate An Lin, and she was going to kill him with her full power now.

"Eternal Night!"

A cold voice sounded from the Dark Night Monarch's lips.

Instantly, the sky became pitch-black, obscuring the stars and even dimming the glow of the moon.

All the cultivators on the ground widened their eyes at the darkening sky.

A few Soul Formation Stage cultivators' pupils contracted drastically upon seeing this, a sense of hopelessness welling up in their hearts.

"Sword, come!"

The Dark Night Monarch gripped the air with her hand.

Instantly, a dense column of darkness began to surge violently, before gathering to form a dark longsword several hundred meters in length.

The longsword suddenly materialized in mid-air, radiating a terrifying aura, forcing all Blood Tribe warriors and human cultivators alike to kneel on the ground, as if pledging inferiority to their monarch.

An Lin grimaced at her insanely powerful technique.

Why the f*ck would you use a technique like this on a cultivator of a mere Tenth Stage Dao Body cultivation base?

It was like killing an ant, but using a f*cking nuclear bomb to do so, what a massive waste!

However, An Lin was completely unable to move, let alone resist.

All he could do was ridicule his opponent one last time in his heart.

Ding Dong!

"Detected that host is facing an extreme threat, are you willing to sacrifice a fifth of your life force? You will obtain unimaginable power as a result."

An Lin's heart trembled slightly.

Sacrifice a fifth of his life force?

Obtain unimaginable power?

Are you kidding? If he could rescue Xuanyuan Cheng and his friends, what complaint would he have even if he had to sacrifice all of his life force!

"I accept!"

At the conclusion of An Lin's sentence, the gargantuan dark sword began to descend, annihilating all in its path.

The whole mountain was instantly engulfed in darkness, before crumbling and finally disappearing from existence…

Chapter 94: Extreme Power

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Swarms of dark sword aura descended from all directions, engulfing the huge mountain and encapsulating An Lin's body within.

But this power could not even make a scratch on him.

A black symbol appeared on his forehead, taking on the shape of a sharp sword.

An Lin took one step, closing a distance of many kilometers, taking him to where Earth Immortal Yue Ying was.

"An Lin?"

Xu Xiaolan let out a yell upon seeing An Lin alive and well, before charging toward him with red eyes and enveloping him in a tight hug.

An Lin could feel that the soft, delicate body in his arms was trembling at this moment, seemingly with sobs.

He patted Xu Xiaolan's back gently. "Sorry to make you worry."

He gently pushed Xu Xiaolan aside after apologizing. "Wait for me, I have to do some other things first."

Xuanyuan Cheng also let out a sigh of relief at the sight of An Lin's return.

"Master!"

An Lin knelt down on one knee beside Earth Immortal Yue Ying.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying struggled to raise her head, her lips moved but she no longer had the energy to say anything.

As beautiful as she once was, her body was now frail to the extreme.

Not only had all of her hair turned white and wrinkles lined her entire face, her aura had also dimmed to an extremely weakened state.

The Evil-Slaying Sword glowed with a black aura, pulsing rhythmically.

It was clear that the sword was constantly absorbing Earth Immortal Yue Ying's vital energy.

An Lin gripped the hilt of the sword, his expression thunderous with rage.

"What you've absorbed… spit it all back up!"

Boom!

A terrifying sword aura erupted from the Evil-Slaying Sword, transmitting straight into An Lin's hand in an attempt to beat him into submission.

An Lin tightened his grip on the sword hilt, an indescribable sense of pressure immediately vanquishing the Evil-Slaying Sword's sword aura.

Even the sword spirit of the Demon Emperor was instantly wiped away by this destructive aura.

The sword began to quiver as the flow of vital energy reversed itself, flowing back into Earth Immortal Yue Ying's body.

Soon, her face began to regain some color and her skin became smooth and fine once again.

"An Lin… how did you…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying stared at An Lin with incredulity in her eyes as her body began to regain its former vitality.

An Lin smiled warmly. "Master, bear with me, this is gonna hurt a little!"

After saying this, he pulled the Evil-Slaying Sword out of Earth Immortal Yue Ying's body in one swift motion.

"Ow…"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying chewed heavily on her bottom lip but still couldn't help but moan slightly at the acute pain.

However, her wounds ceased to hurt almost instantaneously.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying stared blankly at the palm resting on her chest as it glowed with a white light.

This was the most basic healing immortal spell, but in the hands of An Lin, it immediately healed her wound, which was saturated with remnants of Return to Void level destructive power.

At this exact moment, an extremely terrifying power began to manifest itself in the air.

The Dark Night Monarch finally initiated her second attack.

She'd already convinced herself that the seemingly feeble cultivator beneath her was some mighty figure that was hiding his strength. Hence, she chose to unleash her most powerful magical ability of all–Darkness of Origin.

The darkened skyline descended toward An Lin, as if the sky was falling, bringing with it the destructive power to wipe away everything in this world.

Countless human cultivators were all in shock upon seeing this, immediately choosing to get as far away from the scene as possible.

Even the Blood Tribe warriors escaped the battlefield in a frenzy as if their very lives depended on it.

It was clear that this was an attack that did not differentiate between friend and foe.

Its sole purpose was to wipe away all living beings on the ground.

"Has Master Dark Night gone crazy? How could she use this technique!?"

"She doesn't give a sh*t whether we live or die."

"Quit the chit-chat, let's get out of here!"

In contrast with the complaints from the Blood Tribe, the human cultivators were all extremely stunned.

"My God, to be able to unleash such a terrifying technique, just what is that woman with the black wings?"

"We only came here to thwart the Demon Emperor's plans, why have we encountered such a powerful foe?"

"It's over, An Lin and his group are still at the very center of the technique's area of coverage!"

"Forget An Lin, even if it was us, we still wouldn't be able to escape from this technique…"

Daoist Xuyun from Wudang shook his head wistfully.

The endless expanse of darkness engulfing the sky gave its target no chance for escape.

The skyline fell at a drastic rate, engulfing the mountains surrounding the mountain where An Lin was situated.

Even Earth Immortal Ming Yuan had ceased his fighting with the Blood Gods to look toward the terrifying spectacle that was about to befall them, his face contorted with rage and an unwillingness to accept their fate.

"An Lin, behind you!"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying had already detected that An Lin seemed to be in a state vastly different from how he usually was, but she still couldn't help but let out a yell of warning as the terrifying attack descended upon them.

"Don't worry."

An Lin nodded before casually swatting a hand towards the air without even turning his back.

Bam!

The sky crumbled into pieces from the force of his palm…

No, to put it more precisely, it was the Darkness of Origin that the Dark Night Monarch had unleashed.

The technique harboring enough power to annihilate Heaven and Earth was dispelled by a casual slap from An Lin!

There was no terrifying release of power, nor any earth-shattering techniques. It seemed as if An Lin merely smeared his hand onto the skyline and the endless expanse of darkness dissipated into nothingness.

The powerful aura emitted from the figure in mid-air was immediately impeded.

The stars and the moon reappeared in the clear night sky.

Countless cultivators and members of the Blood Tribe raised their heads in a daze, unable to believe their eyes.

Even Earth Immortal Yue Ying let out a yelp of surprise whilst staring at An Lin with eyes filled with incredulity.

"Done!"

An Lin nodded as the white light from his palms dissipated.

"Master, you're now fully healed. Next, I'm going to exact revenge on those who did this to you!"

Earth Immortal Yue Ying nodded with a dazed expression upon hearing An Lin's words.

An Lin smiled slightly before turning his gaze toward the sky once again.

The Dark Night Monarch's face was also filled with incredulity, completely devoid of the cold calmness she previously exuded.

The Darkness of Origin was her most powerful magical ability, for it to be casually dispelled by a palm, how could she remain calm?

"You… Who the hell are you!?"

"Who am I?"

An Lin glared at the woman in the sky. "I am An Lin, the student of Master Yue Ying."

He took a step forward upon finishing his reply and immediately appeared in front of the Dark Night Monarch.

Her pupils contracted drastically, but before she could even react, the Evil-Slaying Sword had already been embedded into her chest.

The extremely terrifying power of restriction immediately sealed away all of her power.

The Dark Night Monarch's pitch-black eyes stared at the man in front of her, incredulity running amok in her heart.

She couldn't even see how An Lin had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Teleportation?

No… teleportation would trigger fluctuations in the fabric of space and time.

The man in front of her had clearly appeared where he was from that single step he took.

His one stride completely disregarded distance as well as space and time, as if all of it was meant to be…

"What you did to my master, I now bestow upon you hundredfold, thousandfold!"

An Lin glared coldly at the Dark Night Monarch as the Evil-Slaying Sword began to release a powerful black aura, absorbing her blood essence in a wild frenzy.

"Ah…"

The Dark Night Monarch's body began to tremble.

Her energy, cultivation base, and life force began to dissipate very quickly. Even her conscience was slowly being ground away.

All the while An Lin was maximizing the pain bestowed upon her.

Her whole body was racked in extreme pain, causing her to let out a heart-wrenching cry.

"Master Dark Night!"

The handsome man guarding the opening of the dark tunnel fell into a frenzy of rage upon seeing the scene unfolding before him.

He spread his huge black wings wide open and flew toward An Lin with a silver spear in his hand.

"Stop!"

He stabbed his spear forward, producing an impenetrable wall of tens of thousands of spear thrusts, painting the whole sky white.

"Be quiet!"

An Lin stabbed a finger toward the man with his left hand.

Crack…

The spear projection, the spear itself as well as its wielder.

All of them were instantly annihilated, not even leaving a single trace behind.

Daoist Xuyun, Daoist Youmu, and Stone Spirit were all shocked into silence upon seeing this.

The man who was just annihilated was a Black Wing warrior powerful enough to easily fend off the three of them at once.

But powerful as he was, An Lin managed to kill him with just a single finger!?

The rest of the Blood Tribe warriors all began sh*tting themselves after witnessing An Lin's might and they all hurriedly escaped in a frenzy.

An Lin extended a single hand toward Heaven and Earth and feigned a grabbing motion.

To use the heavens as a trapping net, and the earth as an execution instrument!

Boom!

The ground shook thunderously as An Lin closed his grip.

An irresistible restrictive power descended from the heavens, rendering all the Blood Tribe warriors immobilized.

Immediately after this, a destructive power capable of annihilating everything began to rise from the earth, mercilessly ripping all the Blood Tribe warriors into shreds.

Even the Blood Gods, who possessed extraordinary vitality, were unable to escape the fate of having both their bodies and souls crushed into oblivion.

Thus, the Blood Tribe army fell to a single palm from An Lin!

Chapter 95: Gain and Loss

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All the human cultivators stared up at the man who was standing in mid-air, shocked into silence.

"Is this really the An Lin that I know?"

"The Poison Lord is truly frighteningly powerful!"

"It's over, I still have his blood on my sword… Is he going to exact revenge on me for that?"

…

All the cultivators on the ground were discussing amongst themselves.

But it was without a doubt that all of them looked up to the figure in the sky as if they were witnessing a god in action.

In comparison, The Dark Night Monarch, who had previously appeared nightmarishly powerful, was nearing the end of her life.

Her features gradually aged, to the extent that her dark hair was now white as snow and her presence had also diminished to the point of blinking in and out of existence.

She could no longer feel any pain as her power, soul, cultivation base, and life force were all on the brink of completely dissipating. All she could feel was a sense of hopelessness at her inevitable death.

"I saw you as mere trash before.

"But now, I am probably trash in your eyes instead, right?"

The Dark Night Monarch spoke to An Lin in a hoarse voice. She no longer had any strength to resist her fate now.

She was once a True Monarch of the Black Wing Tribe, stepping over everything that was weaker than her. But now, she was being stepped on like a piece of trash herself.

An Lin looked at her coldly and shook his head.

"I won't use my strength to dictate one's right to live.

"In my eyes, you are only the culprit who attempted to kill my master.

"Just like how Master Yue Ying wouldn't discriminate in her treatment of me solely based on my cultivation base.

"In her eyes, I am her student."

Dark Night Monarch: "…"

Her eyes began to slowly glaze over as a barely detectable hint of sadness appeared in them before disappearing in an instant.

An Lin did not waste any more of his words, he gripped the hilt of the Evil-Slaying Sword and cut downwards with one powerful motion.

The Dark Night Monarch's body imploded into nothingness, disappearing completely.

The black symbol on An Lin's forehead began to become less pronounced, almost completely fading away.

He grabbed her storage ring before taking another step and coming to the opening of the dark tunnel.

This should be the passageway to the Black Wing Tribe. It's a pity I don't have enough time, otherwise, I'd be sure to pay them a visit…

An Lin stared into the passageway before unleashing a fist toward it.

Crack…

The tunnel crumbled under the force of his fist, beginning to collapse in on itself.

"It's all over…"

An Lin sighed lightly as the black symbol on his forehead began to disappear.

Suddenly, he felt as if he'd lost all his strength. His body swayed as extreme exhaustion began to set in.

Soon after, he lost vision and blacked out, collapsing onto the ground.

Xu Xiaolan and his friends all rushed toward An Lin as they anxiously and carefully helped him up from the ground.

After confirming that all his vital signs were normal, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Phew, luckily he didn't explode this time…"

Xu Xiaolan stared at An Lin with fear lingering in her eyes from past memories before her worried expression began to ease a little.

The scene of An Lin self-detonating after using the Finger of the Heavenly Dao was still clear in their memories.

If An Lin really did self-detonate this time, they really had no way to bring him back…

"An Lin has once again created a miracle! Fate, it really is a wonderful thing!"

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan stared at An Lin, still not quite able to believe he'd just survived the prior disaster, his expression full of shock and contentment.

Each time he witnessed An Lin work his magic, his understanding of fate seemed to deepen a little bit.

Perhaps if he were to experience something like this two or three more times, he could utilize that as an opportunity to finally break through to the Return to Void Stage.

What everyone failed to notice was, just as the black symbol disappeared from An Lin's forehead, something that transcended matter and was not part of the Great Dao left his body.

It pierced through the mortal world and merged into the Tai Chu Continent.

Heaven and earth remained unchanged and the living beings on the Tai Chu Continent couldn't notice any kind of change.

But in truth, the heaven and earth had already undergone a transformation, making some things appear to be more justified.

…

In the central region of a place filled with ancient evil demons located in the outer stretches of the Tai Chu Continent.

A snake woman with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human opened her eyes, which seemed to be shimmering with the bright stars of the Great Dao.

A brilliant ray of light began to radiate from the heavenly rainbow stone held in her hands, immediately purifying all the evil demons within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

"The mending of the heavens has already begun… it seems I must make haste on my end too."

The woman rose into the air atop a rainbow cloud, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye, moving toward somewhere even further away on the continent.

…

Three days later, An Lin finally awoke.

He assessed his condition and found that it seemed to be good as new, exactly as it was before.

Many human cultivators received news of An Lin's recovery and all came to visit him.

Slowly, presents began to pile up in An Lin's room.

This scene was quite reminiscent of the time all his fans came to offer gifts after he'd self-detonated.

However, this time around was even more extreme than last time.

After all, An Lin had not only displayed power seemingly sufficient to defy natural order.

But from another perspective, it could be said that he had also saved the lives of all these human cultivators.

If it wasn't for An Lin, they'd probably all be dead at the hands of the Dark Night Monarch.

These cultivators naturally wouldn't be stingy with their savior, hence, there was no lack of good stuff in the presents he received.

The Longhu, Wudang, Shangqing, and Kunlun sect leaders also paid him a visit and brought with them three storage rings as presents.

These were the storage rings from the now deceased Blood Gods. An Lin didn't have time to collect them so they picked the rings up in his stead.

It was true that these Blood Gods were all slain by one palm from An Lin, so he naturally deserved their storage rings.

All the top dogs of the cultivating world could only do some manual labor and help him pick up the spoils of war.

Lin Yi had also come back. He had severed all contact with the outside world and tailed the enemy in secret after discovering the presence of the Blood Tribe army. It was only when the Blood Tribe began to mobilize that he contacted the outside world, thereby resulting in the prior battle.

After that, the Dark Night Monarch used the Realm-Piercing Nail to forcefully break through into the spell formation, uniting with the Demon Emperor and the others who had already entered the mystic realm.

She coaxed the Evil-Slaying Sword into relinquishing its sword spirit and accepting the Demon Emperor as its new sword spirit instead.

The Evil-Slaying Sword thereby managed to avoid the sword spirit purification restrictions of the third-grade spell formation, allowing it to return to the world.

The sequence that followed should've been a one-sided slaughter by the Dark Night Monarch as she wielded the Evil-Slaying Sword, cutting down all the human cultivators in swathes.

However, a wild card appeared in the form of An Lin.

Nobody knew how An Lin managed to get so powerful all of a sudden.

Even now, everyone was still completely in the dark.

Of course, everyone had their secrets.

If An Lin didn't want to tell them, Xu Xiaolan and the others wouldn't come prying either.

…

Inside the room.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying stared at An Lin with curiosity on her face. She adjusted the red frames of her glasses slightly as a ray of wisdom flashed in her eyes.

"Student An Lin, your feats just get more and more unbelievable!

"To progress from Zero Stage Dao Body to Tenth Stage Dao Body in one year, this has already broken the all-time record in The United University of Cultivation, but it now seems that this was only a piece of cake for you…"

An Lin winced at her words, unable to respond.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying's eyes narrowed slightly in a warm smile, her lips creating a perfect curve, like that of an incomplete moon.

"That finger immortal spell you used in the free-for-all battle, which was comparable to an attack from a Celestial Immortal, was quite a feat too, but it did have a side-effect…

"And after that, your blood even became a lethal poison to those of the Blood Tribe…"

An Lin listened in silence as Earth Immortal Yue Ying rattled off his feats one by one. Even he himself felt like he had shown off a bit too much.

Why was he so overpowered?

"But what was most shocking to me was the battle at the Ancient Jade Pond. The power that you exhibited, albeit for only a short time, was simply unexplainable. Power even able to completely outclass the Dark Night Monarch of the Black Wing Tribe…"

She shuffled closer and closer to An Lin as she spoke, her face stopping just short of An Lin's.

"Tell me, are there any side-effects of the power you used?"

An Lin's heart trembled slightly, but he still maintained a nonchalant smile on his face. "Of course there's a side-effect."

"What is it?" Earth Immortal Yue Ying asked worriedly.

"The side-effect is…"

An Lin adopted a mysterious expression.

"Fainting for three days."

Earth Immortal Yue Ying blinked her pretty eyes before sighing and slapping her forehead in resignation.

"Alright, you win…

"Rest up, I have to go now."

…

Sigh, it was only a fifth of his life force.

A lifespan of one hundred would be whittled down to eighty, a lifespan of ten thousand would be whittled down to eight thousand.

It didn't really matter, because his lifespan would continue to increase as his cultivation base progressed.

An Lin shook his head to dispel this train of thought as he looked at Earth Immortal Yue Ying's receding figure in the distance, before beginning to go through the spoils of war.

Chapter 96: A Plethora of Treasures!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

For starters, there were all the presents from the powerful human cultivators.

In truth, none of the cultivators even dared to offer up presents after witnessing An Lin's insane power.

After all, powerful as he was, would all this stuff even be considered worthy in the eyes of the mighty Poison Lord?

Luckily, Xu Xiaolan and the others spoke out for An Lin, confirming that his cultivation base really was just of the Tenth Stage Dao Body.

They also said that it was only due to some special circumstances that he was able to exhibit the power that he did.

All the cultivators immediately changed tack after learning of this, all of them flocking to An Lin's room to offer up their presents.

Soon, all sorts of items piled up in the room.

An Lin counted up all the presents whilst placing them into his storage ring.

It had to be said…

This was quite a tiring process!

He genuinely felt as if his hands were getting tired from all the counting, but he couldn't stop!

There were three hundred and twenty-six spirit pills in total, with all kinds of different effects, but most of them provided assistance in cultivation as well as replenishing vital energy. All of them were in between the fourth and ninth grade.

There were also seventy-two talismans in total.

Talismans were used as one-time disposable items, where a cultivator channeled their power through the talisman, thereby allowing them to activate the power within the talisman.

These types of items had the effect of taking an enemy by surprise in battle.

However, the creation process of a talisman was very complex and required great concentration and effort.

This was a highly-technical skill, requiring someone with a certain level of talent to create a good talisman.

Some cultivators would struggle in this field. For example, a cultivator at the Spirit Nurturing Stage with insufficient talent would only be able to create a talisman housing the power of the Dao Body Stage.

But for some geniuses and prodigies, they may only be at the Dao Body Stage themselves, but they were capable of creating talismans with Spirit Nurturing Stage power.

An Lin stared at the pile of talismans in front of him, unsure of what power level they possessed.

But all of these talismans were created by cultivators in the Spirit Nurturing Stage at the very least.

Activating these talismans should allow him to wield power greater than what he possessed himself, that was for sure.

There were even about a dozen talismans that were created by Soul Formation Stage cultivators.

An Lin picked out three of the talismans with a yin-yang pattern on each of them which also had a note enclosed.

Daoist Xuyun: "Enclosed are three carefully created talismans which can, upon activation, grant immunity against a full-force attack from a cultivator of the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivation base. Although there is an extra talisman enclosed compared to my other three friends, it is a show of my gratitude and admiration so I implore you to accept them."

After this, he picked out another three talismans which seemed to contain a powerful sword intent. There was also a note enclosed with these three talismans as well.

Spirit Child Shi: "Enclosed are sword talismans which can, upon activation, unleash an attack comparable in power to the full-force attack from a cultivator of the Soul Formation Initial Stage cultivation base. Although there is an extra talisman enclosed compared to my other three friends, it is nothing compared to what you have done for all of us so I implore you to accept them."

An Lin: "…"

And then, there were three talismans with a white crane insignia imprinted on each of them, also with an accompanying note.

Heavenly Teacher Zhang: "Enclosed are three evil-warding seals with powerful lightning magic, allowing you to blast anyone you don't like with a bolt of lightning. Although there is an extra talisman enclosed compared to my other three friends, these talismans can help you flex so I implore you to accept them."

Lastly, there were four talismans with a vast aura emanating from them, of course with a note enclosed as well.

Daoist Youmu: "Enclosed are four painstakingly created talismans of slaughter. Although this is twice the amount given compared to my other three friends, there is also twice the amount of love enclosed! I implore you to accept them.

An Lin almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon seeing this note.

I will gladly accept the talismans… but please retract your love…

He still remembered to that very day the scene of Daoist Youmu slitting his wrist and the resulting geyser of blood spraying all over An Lin's face.

That was very terrifying!

An Lin looked at the notes from these four mighty figures, slowly grasping what had most likely happened.

It was likely that the four of them had made an arrangement to gift two talismans each.

But what they didn't expect was that all four of them were plotting something else.

In the end, it was the crazy Daoist Youmu who won the competition, increasing the pre-arranged amount by twofold!

An Lin looked at the thirteen talismans, his heart fluttering with joy.

Talismans created by cultivators of the Soul Formation Stage… These were all figurative lifejackets!

Having stowed away the talismans, he also packed all the formations disks, spirit stones, and spirit medicine into his storage ring.

Spirit stones were quite rare on Earth, so he only received about three thousand in total. As for the formation disks and spirit medicines, they weren't anything special either.

Lastly, his gaze fell on the storage rings that belonged to the three Blood Gods.

The Demon Emperor's storage ring had already disappeared without a trace, but there was an extra Blood God to compensate for this.

All of these storage rings had already been refined by Earth Immortal Yue Ying and were now sitting quietly on the table.

This was the treasure horde of a Blood God, what kind of things could be in there?

An Lin picked up one of the storage rings excitedly and began to assess its contents.

Ok… So this was a normal storage ring, with a capacity of only ten cubic feet.

Only several hundred spirit stones… Earth is lacking in those so that's understandable…

Two high-rank magic tools…

A single spirit pill seemingly of only the fourth-grade…

And that was the extent of its contents…

An Lin was completely shocked. He held the storage ring in his hand in a daze, falling into deep thought.

Is this really the personal storage ring of a mighty Blood God?

This isn't a forgery, right?

Refusing to accept this, he picked up another one of the storage rings.

Within the ten cubic feet capacity were several thousand spirit stones and a dashing red robe…

And that was the extent of its contents again…

An Lin threw the storage ring to the ground in rage!

What use do I even have for these storage rings?

An Lin was filled with anger and disgust. For f*ck's sake, these were Blood Gods!

How were they so damn poor?

Harboring a final ray of hope, he accessed the third storage ring.

Eh…

There were tens of thousands of spirit stones in this storage ring!

As for the rest…

The capacity of the storage ring was completely filled by spirit stones!

Therefore…

It didn't have the capacity for anything else.

An Lin leaned back to stare up at the sky, letting out a long sigh before forlornly transferring the contents of the three storage rings into his own storage ring.

Perhaps ten thousand spirit stones was considered to be a huge sum for Soul Formation Stage cultivators on Earth.

But An Lin really couldn't even summon up a shred of excitement, he was instead quite disappointed.

As for the three empty storage rings…

He decided to give them to his father, Tian Lingling, and Dongfang Xue. They should be quite happy to receive them…

Finally, he turned his gaze toward a storage ring that was completely black.

This was the storage ring of the Dark Night Monarch, one of the Monarchs of the Black Wing Tribe…

He released his divine sense and began to rummage through the storage ring.

A capacity of thousands of cubic feet…

An Lin smiled. Just the capacity of this storage ring was enough to confirm that it was a supreme-grade storage ring worth three hundred thousand spirit stones!

Within the storage ring were several hundred spirit stones that emanated a white glow.

Hmm… there aren't many spirit stones.

Wait, why were they emanating a white glow?

An Lin concentrated his divine sense on the spirit stones as a wide smile appeared on his face.

Holy f*ck! These are vital stones!

Normal spirit stones contained very rich vital energy in a free state.

However, vital stones contained such condensed vital energy that it was in a liquid state!

The cost ratio between the two was one to ten thousand!

The average cultivator would immediately die from self-detonation if they were to attempt to absorb vital energy from vital stones.

Only cultivators that had reached at least the Return to Void Stage could safely absorb vital energy from these vital stones.

Over a hundred vital stones… In other words, he now had over a million spirit stones!

Holy sh*t!

An Lin's eyes were a little glazed over. The sudden onset of joy had him feeling a little dizzy.

He continued to go through the contents of the storage ring after coming back to his senses.

Although there weren't many items in the storage ring, all of them were of the supreme grade.

Compared to this storage ring, the Blood Gods' storage rings could only be regarded as trash!

Seventh-grade immortal pill — Dragon Soul Elixir. The faint sound of a dragon's roar seemed to revolve around the elixir.

The elixir had the effect of improving the power of the consumer's consciousness, suitable only for cultivators above the Soul Formation Stage.

Starless Sky of Slaughter Formation Disk, unspecified rank, power level unknown.

Even the Divine Inspection Technique could detect nothing more than the name…

Realm-Piercing Nail, a powerful weapon that could rip open array formations or even the very air itself.

According to Earth Immortal Yue Ying, this was an immortal tool…

Evil-Slaying Sword, first-rate immortal weapon. It was a pity that the sword spirit in the form of the Demon Emperor had already been erased by An Lin.

At this point, it only had the makings of an immortal weapon, but did not possess a spirit and hence could only count as a semi-immortal weapon.

Oh, there was also an item of clothing that hadn't had its tag removed yet.

High-grade spirit garment crafted by the Divine Valley Spirit, exclusive protective clothing. Jade Barley Ink Garment!

This was a protective spirit tool!

With this, it would be a lot safer for An Lin during battles.

It was just a pity…

That this was a female garment!
