Chapter 180: Harvesting Japan! True Dragon! Kirin! Mission Accomplished! (Part 2)
" Laughing Thrice asked.
"You have a noble cause," Lin Fan praised. "Even the immortal sects aren't moved, but you've always cared for the martial world. Such a broad mind is admirable."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Action: None
They pondered, if they encountered a similar situation, and someone from the Immortal Realm offered to take them there, becoming an Elder of the Heavenly Gate, and specifically cultivating them, they would definitely be tempted.
At least, they couldn't react first by caring about things unrelated to them... ants?
In their daze, Lin Fan spoke again, "However, survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle."
"If you want me to guarantee that I won't let my sect disciples slaughter innocents, then I can't do that."
"What I can guarantee is that, before they enter, I will give them strict orders, ensuring they don't bully others or slaughter the innocent!"
"At the same time, one of the reasons for choosing to stay is to consider this aspect."
"Where there's darkness, there's light, good and evil have always opposed each other, and will never be eliminated."
Lin Fan sighed lightly, "Although we'll kill all evil practitioners this time, soon after, there will still be new evil, and new darkness will spread."
"If you choose to stay, then you can continue the pursuit you had in the first half of your life."
"Solitary Yin cannot thrive, nor can Solitary Yang prosper."
"Good and evil coexist, but the righteous path is weak..."
"In this case, my sect disciples will enter, and they can fulfill their trial's purpose while protecting the Dao."
"But if you want to pursue world peace..."
"I have to tell you, no matter how hard you try, you won't find true peace."
Laughing Three Thrice sighed helplessly, "These words are a bit cruel, but I deeply understand them."
"Human hearts are hard to fathom, and they are the most complex existence."
"I choose to stay."
Without much hesitation, he said, "Leaving can enhance oneself, but I can already live for who knows how many years, and I don't need to pursue the so-called Martial Dao."
"I've lived in the Central Land of the Gods for thousands of years, and I can't leave her."
"I don't have any extravagant demands."
"I only ask to continue practicing what I pursued in the first half of my life."
"I also believe in your promise, young friend."
"However, I have a better suggestion."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Tell me."
Laughing Three Thrice's choice was somewhat unexpected, yet also reasonable.
He was a compassionate person, otherwise, he wouldn't have always cared about the safety of the Martial World and the rivers and lakes.
It seemed he was worried that after he left, the Moon Embrace Sect would go astray, causing chaos in the Central Land of the Gods, which he couldn't bear.
"Indeed, where there's darkness, there's light, I was thinking, can we fix the 'darkness' in a specific region?"
"This way, your sect disciples can go directly to that region for trials, and even if they fight fiercely, they won't harm many civilians."
"And if they want to refine their hearts in the mortal world..."
"What do you think of this idea?"
Lin Fan silently agreed.
He was still concerned about those innocent people.
Regarding this, Lin Fan didn't have any objections.
This wasn't a bad thing.
After all, Cultivators couldn't slaughter indiscriminately, unless they wanted to bear cause and effect, karmic obstacles, or even heavenly retribution! Especially for ordinary mortals.
"Oh, that's a good suggestion."
"Then where do you want to place these evil demons?"
"..."
Laughing Three Thrice smiled awkwardly, "The Land of Japan."
"That place has always been a haven for filth, many evil demons gather there, and there are also many experts, so it can definitely meet your sect disciples' trial needs."
"If we don't exterminate them, and give them some time, they'll be like leeks, cut once and they grow again."
"Even in this process, I can secretly protect your sect disciples, acting as a Guardian of the Dao, ensuring they won't die."
"I don't know..."
"Is this suggestion okay?"
Fan Jianqiang's mouth twitched slightly.
What a big-eyed, thick-browed old man, Laughing Three Thrice.
He was a compassionate person, but he didn't expect this old fellow to be so dark! Targeting Japan, huh?
This was too... exactly what we had in mind!
He wanted to laugh.
But he held it in, feigning ignorance.
There were many people here, and he didn't want to reveal himself, nor was he willing to show off in front of others.
"I think..."
Lin Fan spoke softly, and in Laughing Three Thrice's nervous gaze, he slowly said, "This idea is perfect."
As a transmigrator, and one who grew up under the red flag.
Who could refuse going to the Land of Japan...
To cut leeks?
"Hmm."
Laughing Three Thrice breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, young friend, I owe you a great debt on behalf of the people of the Central Land of the Gods!"
"No problem."
Lin Fan nodded, "But you really don't want to go to a larger world, and cultivate a higher Martial Dao?"
"The Martial Dao is good, but in life, there are things worth doing."
"I still have my own persistence."
"Perhaps many years later, I'll feel tired, and choose to leave, but now, I only want to bring as much peace as possible to the Central Land of the Gods."
He self-deprecatingly smiled, "My heart is still not open-minded enough."
"I only hope that by then, you and the Moon Embrace Sect will still be willing to accept me."
"You're too kind."
"Such qualities are rare in the world."
(End)
"I am in awe, Senior."
"In the future, when our sect's disciples come, I hope you can take care of them."
"I will do my best!" Laughing Thrice quickly assured.
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
In his heart, he was considering the subsequent course of action.
Originally, he had planned to directly crush and push through everything.
But now, since Laughing Thrice had made this choice, there was no need to push everything aside.
He believed that as long as he eliminated all of Song Yunxiao's mission targets, it would be sufficient.
Let him earn full marks, and as for the rest, he could completely leave it to his disciples to deal with as minor monsters and bosses, gradually pushing forward and undergoing trials and growth.
As for various resources, they could also be left for the disciples to collect.
So next~
Eliminate those mission targets and bring the True Dragon back.
After witnessing Laughing Thrice's strength, Lin Fan no longer worried about anything.
Immediately, he had the Mud Bodhisattva calculate the hiding places of those mission targets, and then he dispatched Huo Kun Lun and the others to act separately, going to 'push through'~
Lin Fan himself, led Fan Jian Gang, Zhu Rou Rong, Su Yan, and Song Yunxiao to the Cloudsoaring Grotto.
Xiao Ling'er, Huo Yun'er, and Little Dragon Maiden went to search for the True Dragon.
As for Laughing Thrice~
Lin Fan gave him a strengthening herb pill, and after his strength increased again, he quietly went to Japan to scout.
...
At the entrance of the Cloudsoaring Grotto.
Lin Fan stood calmly.
Behind him, several disciples who seemed to be all 'newbies' lined up.
After them, there were twelve red-haired wild boars.
Lin Fan swept his divine perception.
For martial artists, the extremely troublesome and intricate Cloudsoaring Grotto was already 'clear as day'.
Divine Perception...
A standard for cultivators, yet it allowed martial artists to only look up in awe, and its function was absurdly powerful.
"However..."
"It seems we don't need to search anymore."
"It came out on its own."
Under his divine perception, the Fire Phoenix had gone mad and was charging towards them.
"It saves me the trouble of going in."
"Hmm... That's not right."
"We still need to go in, after all, the Blood Bodhi is a good thing. Even in the cultivation world, it should be a decent spiritual herb, right?"
"That's right, after all, the world's limit is a bit low, and these divine beasts probably haven't shown their true strength and 'effectiveness'."
"Roar!!!"
As he thought, the Fire Phoenix transformed into raging flames and charged out.
Its speed was extremely fast, like a fiery giant beast, rushing towards Lin Fan and the others.
"Suppress it!"
Lin Fan didn't retreat but advanced, quickly suppressing it...
Indeed, the Fire Phoenix wasn't that strong. In his prime, Xiong Ba could probably kill it. Lin Fan, though just a straw man, possessed numerous ultimate skills. Taking it down was effortless.
However, even after suppressing it, rendering it unable to move, it still raged and roared, wanting to struggle, break free, and 'rampage'.
"It's gone berserk."
"Or has it gone mad?"
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "After we return, we'll slowly consider how to help you recover."
"If all else fails, we can only eat its meat."
"Or, remove its arms and use them as four Kirin Arms?"
Perhaps sensing Lin Fan's 'malicious' intent, even the mad Fire Phoenix shuddered without cause and became much more obedient.
Lin Fan smiled slightly.
"My disciples~"
"Ah?"
Su Yan was startled, "Us?"
Song Yunxiao was also stunned, "Master, this... seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"
"There's no danger inside, at most the terrain is a bit rugged, but I believe in you."
"There's some Blood Bodhi inside, remember to transplant it out."
"Oh, and there's a secret room. Inside, there's the Ten Utmost Martial Techniques of this world. Remember to take it out."
"Once these two tasks are completed, this trip to the Cloudsoaring Grotto will be considered perfect."
Su Yan: "Master, about me..."
"Will it?"
"That's also true."
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, "Jian Gang, you and Su Yan, take good care of him."
"Zhu Rou Rong, you and Song Yunxiao, remember to look after your junior brother."
"Yes, Master."
This time, Fan Jian Gang didn't hesitate.
Zhu Rou Rong also didn't, and he even whistled, causing four red-haired wild boars to gather around, each serving as their mounts, and then they charged into the Cloudsoaring Grotto.
Although Lin Fan didn't enter, his divine perception continuously monitored their progress.
"This is indeed much easier than I imagined."
"That's true, after all, the energy gap is too vast. Even a top-notch expert like Laughing Thrice would be suppressed to the extreme under our cultivation system's energy."
"Moreover, this is Song Yunxiao's beginner's gift pack trial."
"If it's just a beginner trial, and our lineup still finds it challenging..."
"That's indeed a bit absurd."
"Ling'er and the others should also be fine, right?"
"..."
...
"Wow, wow, I sense it, it's right here!"
Little Dragon Maiden exclaimed excitedly.
"Same species, come out!!!"
"I sense you, and you must sense me too, right?"
"From small to big, I've never seen a fellow species before!"
"Hurry up and come out!"
However, there was no response.
This made the excited Little Dragon Maiden's expression fall, "So uncooperative?"
"After all, we're the same species, why do I have to resort to force?"
Still, there was no response.
Little Dragon Maiden became furious!
"Watch me use the Skyward Mirror..."
Boom! The world changed color, and thundering roars filled the air.
The Skyward Mirror hadn't been fully taken out yet.
In an instant, the entire world was covered in cracks, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"?"
Little Dragon Maiden was stunned.
Xiao Ling'er's face changed dramatically, "Don't be impulsive, put it away quickly!"
"The Skyward Mirror is too powerful, already surpassing the limits of this small world. Once taken out, the entire world will collapse!"
Little Dragon Maiden was dazed, but she reacted swiftly, quickly putting it away.
Even so, the terrifying spatial rift above the sky was slow to heal...
"Roar!!!"
The True Dragon appeared.
With such a terrifying aura, how could it remain hidden?
Just as it was trying to make a friendly gesture, Little Dragon Maiden had already flown up and transformed into her true form, engaging in a battle with it.
The two True Dragons entangled, fighting until the mountains shook and the earth cracked.
Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er watched from a distance, sighing in awe. "Ling'er, we... have witnessed a battle between True Dragons, haven't we?"
Xiao Ling'er: "Hmm."
"Should... I guess so?"
It was indeed a True Dragon, no doubt about it!
Although one of them was a little girl, and the other looked like an old, weak, and disabled person...
Their combat power was even inferior to her own.
After a fierce battle, the True Dragon cowered.
The gap between their world levels was simply insurmountable.
Moreover, the Skyward Mirror was too terrifying, and it had no intention of prolonging the fight.
Therefore, after the battle, it lowered its proud head, indicating submission.
The True Dragon race was extremely proud, and it was true that they would rather die than surrender.
But that also depended on who the opponent was.
They were both dragons...
We are all of the same race, so what's the harm in admitting defeat and submitting?"
I'm not crazy!
But...
Seeing a fellow dragon submitting, Little Dragon Maiden couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Why are you so weak?"
True Dragon: "..."
"Can you transform?"
True Dragon: "..."
"You must be able to speak, right?"
True Dragon: "..."
"What? Are you mute?"
True Dragon: "Roar~!!!"
Little Dragon Maiden: "..."
"You really can't even speak?"
"That's not right, is it?"
Her little brain couldn't comprehend such a situation: "You're a True Dragon, after all, and your bloodline isn't that thin. Why is your development so slow? Even your spiritual intelligence is so pathetic."
In her eyes, it was simply a case of delayed development.
It must have lived for at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years, right?
But this was the result?
Xiao Ling'er moved closer, guessing, "Perhaps it's because..."
"This world lacks Primordial Spirit Qi?"
At this thought, she took out several recovery-type herb pills.
There was no other effect; they were simply 'blue potions' that aided in recovering consumption.
In simple terms—Spirit Qi Pills.
And the moment she took out the herb pills, the True Dragon's eyes lit up instantly, its large eyes, like lanterns, filled with human-like desire.
Xiao Ling'er didn't hesitate; she flicked her finger, and the pill flew into the dragon's mouth.
It couldn't wait and swallowed it in one go.
In an instant.
The True Dragon's aura soared.
It couldn't help but roar towards the sky.
"Roar!!!"
The dragon's roar reverberated.
Then, it underwent a startling transformation.
The scales on its body glowed with a radiant sheen, and its size increased by a full circle in an instant. Its eyes became more lively, and beneath its feet, clouds and mist formed, giving birth to a divine aura.
Its might skyrocketed!
At this moment, it exuded a semblance of the True Dragon's divine essence.
Just now...
It seemed like a counterfeit.
Little Dragon Maiden: "..."
"Sister Ling'er, the effect of this herb pill is so astonishing?"
Xiao Ling'er blinked: "It's just an ordinary recovery-type herb pill. Although I use it myself, it shouldn't be powerful enough to transform a True Dragon."
It continued to roar.
But its eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling'er.
"It seems you guessed correctly." Huo Yun'er shook her head: "Indeed, it's because it lacks the nourishment of Primordial Spirit Qi."
"In other words, malnutrition?"
"It's like ordinary people have never been full, or like us cultivators have never absorbed Primordial Spirit Qi."
"Mhm." Xiao Ling'er nodded: "With this deduction, logically speaking, it shouldn't even exist in this world, because this world cannot meet its basic needs for growth."
"That's very strange."
"And where are its parents? They can't just appear out of thin air, can they?"
Little Dragon Maiden: "Then... is there a possibility that it's like me?"
"There is indeed a bit of that possibility."
Both girls found it reasonable.
"But taking it back with just the herb pills is like a drop in the bucket. We should bring it back to our Moon Embrace Sect~~~"
"If it can make up for these years of deficiency, perhaps it will become a 'True' True Dragon and can be our Temple Guardian Beast!"
"Temple Guardian Beast, that sounds so cool!" Huo Yun'er was delighted.
"Divine Beast sounds much more powerful than Spiritual Beasts."
"Yeah." Xiao Ling'er was also happy.
Although it had submitted to Little Dragon Maiden.
The Mystic Realm was their own, so it was naturally theirs too!
Taking it back to the Moon Embrace Sect would be wonderful!
But... it was a little regrettable.
Huo Yun'er muttered: "If it becomes our Temple Guardian Beast, does that mean we can't eat it?"
"I also wanted to taste dragon meat."
The True Dragon, having absorbed the herb pill, looked expectant: "???"
Listen, is that even human speech?
I submit!
Xiao Ling'er, seeing its transformation complete, immediately said: "Come with us. There's an endless supply of Primordial Spirit Qi."
Little Dragon Maiden raised her small fist: "Otherwise, I'll beat you half to death and drag you out."
True Dragon: "..."
I get it.
You are not human!
But the situation is stronger than the dragon, and that so-called Primordial Spirit Qi is indeed too tempting.
It trembled all over, expressing its hunger.
...
Ding: Congratulations, Master, for clearing the Fengyun Mystic Realm with an SSS-grade evaluation.
A bountiful harvest.
As they exited the Mystic Realm, Song Yunxiao's ears rang with a heavenly melody~!
