Chapter 477: Picking up Mu Chen! Yellow Wind Ridge, 800 Li (Part 1)
November 12, 2024
As the business grew, it was natural for others to become envious.
Perhaps not everyone lacked Spirit Stones, but there were certainly no shortage of individuals and factions in need.
Being poor, they naturally sought solutions.
And what could be faster than taking from someone else's 'granary'?
These people didn't know who the true mastermind behind the Immortal Device was, but the Celestial Pavilion was merely a mid-tier force.
Not weak, but not exceptionally strong either.
Overthrowing them and taking their place seemed like a feasible plan.
After all, that big shot would work with anyone, not just the Celestial Pavilion!
As long as they could take down the Celestial Pavilion...
However...
These people forgot what the Celestial Pavilion excelled at.
To rise from a lower realm force to a mid-tier force in the Immortal World wasn't an easy feat. Especially with everyone in the Celestial Pavilion possessing exceptional calculation skills, akin to Divine Calculators...
Despite the numerous covert schemes and operations targeting the Celestial Pavilion, they often seized the initiative, deftly avoiding many crises and troubles.
Even when they couldn't avoid them, they could handle them with the best solutions...
Numerous problems were resolved.
At the same time, the Celestial Pavilion was generous, or rather, very smart! They quickly spent a large portion of their earnings to hire powerful venerables to guard their outposts!
Originally...
Each Celestial Pavilion outpost had only two people: an outpost leader and an attendant.
But now, they had become a team of three.
An outpost leader, an attendant, and a powerful venerable.
All of them were at the Fourteen Realms and above!
Some of the more critical outposts even had Fifteenth Realm experts!
Great Golden Immortals!!
These Fourteenth and Fifteenth Realm experts weren't easy to recruit, and it was nearly impossible to convince so many of them with just wealth and resources.
But the Celestial Pavilion knew how to calculate!
They targeted their preferences, directly increasing their success rate tenfold! This move ensured the Celestial Pavilion's security.
Want to cause trouble?!
First, ask our powerful venerables if they agree!
The undercurrents were surging...
There were many troublemakers...
But the Celestial Pavilion held firm, as steady as Mount Tai, and continued to expand!
...
Headquarters.
The severely injured Chief Leader, who had not fully recovered, smiled, "As you all know, these years have not been easy for us at the Celestial Pavilion."
"We lacked some opportunities."
"And we also lacked a noble patron."
"Now, the opportunity has arrived, and we must grasp it tightly. This is our chance for the Celestial Pavilion to rise!"
"Therefore, there must be no mistakes. If we succeed, in the future, the Celestial Pavilion will not be a force that commands a hundred responses with one call, but we will undoubtedly become a significant power in the upper realms."
"It's not impossible to restore the glory of the Immortal Martial Continent."
"So..."
"You all know what will happen if anyone makes a mistake."
"..."
The outpost leaders' faces turned solemn.
...
One day, a little monkey came to find Lin Fan, and said, "Master, I beg you to teach me a divine ability."
"Thank you, Master!"
Lin Fan: "..."
"Fine."
"You can be my registered disciple."
Lin Fan smiled.
He didn't hesitate anymore.
Having planted the cause, he told the monkey the story of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. Naturally, he had to bear the consequences.
However...
It was a female monkey, so it wouldn't become the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
"Thank you, Master!"
The little monkey bowed immediately.
It had grown significantly, and when it stood upright, it was about the height of a child.
"..."
Lin Fan picked up a teacup and blew on it, "Now, it's time to give you a name."
The little monkey instantly raised its head, its eyes sparkling, "Is it Sun Wukong?"
"Huh?"
Lin Fan almost choked to death.
Goddamn Sun Wukong.
You really want to be the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, huh?
What are you thinking?! He felt a headache coming on, "Animals have genders, and so do humans. Wukong is a male name, and you're female, so it's not suitable."
"Then..."
The little monkey wasn't annoyed and carefully suggested, "How about Sun Wutong?"
"Or Sun Wuchan?"
Lin Fan understood.
This guy had already thought of his own name!
And he insisted on the surname Sun, from the generation of 'Wu'...
Oh my god!
Are you determined to follow in the footsteps of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven? He asked, "Which one do you like?"
The little monkey tilted its head, "I like the purple haze at the horizon."
"If I had to choose, I'd pick Sun Wutong."
Lin Fan: "..."
He put his hand on his forehead, feeling too tired to even tease.
Good for the monkey.
It liked Purple Haze, which seemed reasonable...
But it was a female monkey, so liking Purple Haze was strange!
Oh, it wasn't Purple Haze Immortal? Then it's fine.
"Then, Sun Wutong."
Sun Wutong was thrilled and jumped for joy. "I have a name now!"
Lin Fan nodded and remained silent for a while.
He felt a bit exhausted.
At this moment, Sun Wutong reminded him, "Master, isn't this the time to ask me what I want to learn?"
Lin Fan: "(O_O)!"
What's going on? Are you addicted to role-playing now?! He laughed in exasperation.
"Do you want to act out the scene where you refuse to learn anything, and then I tap your head three times, and you storm off in anger?"
Sun Wutong nodded repeatedly.
Lin Fan: "..."
"Never mind."
"I see you're also the type who doesn't release the eagle without seeing the rabbit."
He sighed, "You already have the Seventy-Two Transformations, the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and a series of Invincible Spells and Techniques. Learn them on your own."
"You don't have the Somersault Cloud, but I can teach you the Walking Secret, provided you have the aptitude for it."
"Additionally, I can also teach you the Thousand Transformations Art."
"But whether you can learn it and how skilled you'll be in the end, that depends on your own fortune."
"..."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me."
Lin Fan had been incredibly busy lately.
This was a great opportunity to open up the full map vision, and he could also earn a large amount of spirit stones and resources. Naturally, there were many things to do and coordinate during this time.
There were also numerous troubles to resolve.
However, taking the time to guide Sun Wutong was still no issue.
...
In the Immortal World, as his cultivation improved, time seemed to become even less valuable.
A year quietly passed.
There were some crises during this period, but Lin Fan successfully resolved them all.
On this day, Sun Wutong came to bid farewell to Lin Fan.
"You..."
Lin Fan was shocked once again.
This little monkey's talent was freakish! Her cultivation was incredibly fast, almost as if she was born to cultivate.
When he first accepted her as a named disciple, she had just broken through to the third realm with the help of the environment and pills from the Embrace the Moon Sect.
Now, only a year later, she had directly advanced to the ninth realm!
It was as if she was born for cultivation.
Her speed far surpassed that of Xiao Ling'er and Shi Hao.
Of course, this might also be related to the fact that they were in the Immortal World, making cultivation much easier. But even so, Sun Wutong's talent was astonishing.
It was as if she had no bottlenecks at all, and cultivating was as easy as eating and drinking.
And it wasn't just her cultivation!
She had also mastered the Walking Secret.
The Seventy-Two Transformations and the Thousand Transformations Art were also at her disposal.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art had already reached the Small Accomplishment realm.
Today, she came to bid farewell, expressing her desire to venture out and see the world.
Lin Fan rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless.
He felt...
That he had nurtured a formidable little fellow, and in the future, she might truly 'cause a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace'. Looking at the golden-haired monkey before him, now standing at a height of one and a half meters, with clear eyes and a fair face, Lin Fan's heart trembled.
"Go, go."
Lin Fan sighed, "If you cause any trouble in the future, just don't mention your master."
"..."
Damn! He had actually said those words.
"Huh?"
Lin Fan's mouth twitched.
I've truly become the Grapelord Ancestor.
Sun Wutong's eyes lit up.
Grapelord Ancestor!
As expected, the master is the Grapelord Ancestor, and I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
Huh?
Different names? Gender differences?
So what? The story can't be exactly the same as reality, or else it wouldn't be a story, right? But...
Master, I will not let you down!
Sun Wutong descended the mountain, feeling excited.
However...
After leaving the sect, she didn't know where to go.
After all, she was very young when she first arrived at the Embrace the Moon Sect, and she still wasn't that old now...
The memories of her childhood were still fresh in her mind.
At the same time, the life of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven also flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
"After the Great Sage returned after his cultivation, he first went to the Flower Fruit Mountain."
"Perhaps, I should also go back to my hometown and take a look at the peach forest?"
"Then..."
"I also need a handy weapon!"
"But I wonder if there's an Eastern Sea Dragon Palace?"
"..."
As she thought wildly, she left the Embrace the Moon Sect and traveled far away.
Along the way, there were still many dangers.
But she was clever by nature, and now with her ninth realm cultivation and numerous invincible techniques, she wasn't going to die before she even started.
The eagle that had almost crushed her skull before appeared again, but this time, the little monkey named Sun Wutong didn't have to flee for her life.
She turned around, and with just a snap of her fingers, the ninth realm eagle instantly perished.
"Hmph!"
She waved her sleeves, leaving not a single cloud behind.
She traveled swiftly.
After just a few short days, she returned to her 'hometown' in her memories.
However...
The once picturesque and fragrant peach forest had now turned into a scorched earth.
There wasn't even a trace of a monkey to be found.
Sun Wutong felt quite sad, and as she expanded her divine perception, she didn't find a single familiar monkey, nor did she discover the Flower Fruit Mountain or the Water Curtain Cave.
She also didn't see any signs of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
She fell silent.
"It's different."
"But perhaps, it was always meant to be different?"
"Or perhaps..."
"The master's intention was for me to find my true self?"
"In any case..."
"I'll start by finding a handy weapon."
Sun Wutong gradually formed an idea.
Weapons must be the top priority!
Without that rod, how could she claim to be the Great Sage Equalling Heaven? Even if she had the audacity to say so, no one would believe her.
"But..."
"I wonder where the Heavenly Court is?"
"I've heard of the Buddha Sect..."
"..."
...
"Success!"
Earth, Secret Chamber.
Luo Feng watched as his Xuanmen transformed into a Dongtian, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Congratulations!"
A projection of the Baba Tower's clone also appeared, excitedly saying, "I also have some good news for you. I've almost finished researching the basic pill heritage you brought back."
"Currently, I can mass-produce first to sixth-grade sixth-grade pills."
"In your name, I've sent some body-strengthening pills to your parents and brother. Their physical qualities and conditions are now very good."
"As long as we establish contact with other races and start selling pills, I believe we'll soon amass a huge fortune."
"But as you humans say, 'A man is guilty of possessing a treasure', first, we must have sufficient strength, or we'll easily attract trouble!"
"And there's more..."
"The medicinal ingredients you brought back, I've almost used them all up."
"I wanted to try cultivating them myself, but even after modeling over a hundred million times and attempting it hundreds of times, I still haven't succeeded. I've researched it, and the main reason is the lack of spiritual energy.
“
No Immortal Power at all!
“
All attempts to artificially synthesize spirit energy and Immortal Power have failed without exception.
“
So...
“
Actually, my suggestion is that you should also go to the Immortal World, to the Moon Embrace Sect, and cultivate alongside your Venerable Master. Development there is currently very promising!
“
And there’s no immediate crisis here for now.
“
...
“
”
Baba Tower talked a lot.
From the results of this period to his suggestions, and then about the changes and current events on Earth during Luo Feng’s seclusion, he covered everything.
Luo Feng listened quietly.
In the end, he nodded lightly: “I think you’re right. The Immortal World is indeed more suitable for cultivation. Moreover, I also want to visit the mechanical race.”
“
But before that...
“
I need to meet Thunder God and the others.
“
Prepare some of the highest-quality medicinal pills you have currently refined for me.
“
...
“
Alright.”
Baba Tower was excited.
During this time, its main body had frequently traversed between the two worlds, so it was very clear about the changes there.
At the same time, it was also looking forward to developing there.
What could be more satisfying than personally transforming an extremely 'primitive' world into a high-tech world?
“
I think the most pressing issue we need to solve right now is to 'interconnect' the resources of the two worlds.
“
Or, to enable mutual conversion between them.
“
Otherwise, our funds won’t last long.
“
I think your idea of sending medicinal pills is good. Thunder God and the others are trustworthy. Once they know the benefits of the pills, they will definitely seek to purchase them. At that time, we can exchange resources for money or barter goods.
“
Then, I’ll give them some less important technologies, allowing them to gradually explore the universe and gather resources from it, ensuring stable development and a virtuous cycle.
“
At that time...
“
Hehe!”
Luo Feng smiled but didn’t say anything.
He didn’t think as much as Baba Tower did.
He just felt that Thunder God and the others had been very good to him and had helped him a lot.
Now that he had good things, he naturally should give them a share.
Besides, the highest quality Baba Tower had refined so far was only a Grade 6, Quality 6 medicinal pill, which wasn’t much in the Moon Embrace Sect...
He could eat immortal pills like candy!
At least...
those suitable for Tenth Realm cultivators, his Venerable Master had given him quite a few.
“
It’s said that my Senior Sister had already successfully and stably refined high-quality immortal pills even before breaking through to the Tenth Realm.
“
I wonder...
“
What kind of demeanor does my Senior Sister have?”
He was somewhat yearning.
“
You will definitely see her when the time comes. If you agree, that’s fine.” Baba Tower, being an impatient person, hurriedly said: “I’ll make the arrangements now. After everything is settled, we’ll go to the Moon Embrace Sect and then find a way to visit the mechanical race.”
“
I’m really curious.”
“
What is the level of technology of the mechanical race in the Immortal World universe?”
“
...
“
Phew, that was close.”
Xiao Ling'er and Lin Dong exchanged glances, both feeling a bit scared.
They had gone through a lot together, and recently, they had been caught up in a troublesome affair, nearly losing their lives!
Fortunately, they fought to the end.
And this time...
Xiao Ling'er found a ring, inside which was an old woman named Heavenly Fire... a former Fourteenth Realm powerhouse, but now only her divine soul remained, capable of exerting at most the power of a Thirteenth Realm middle stage.
At the same time...
they also found a child.
This child...
is surnamed Mu!
That night, as the night grew deeper, the child was already fast asleep.
Xiao Ling'er and Lin Dong sat by the fire, their faces filled with vigilance.
Lin Dong couldn’t help but say: “It’s a bit strange. I don’t know if it’s an illusion or what, but I always have a strange feeling.”
Xiao Ling'er’s gaze was distant: “Actually, I also have a strange feeling.”
“
You go first?”
“
You go first?”
“
...
“
Let’s just say it together.”
Their strange feelings grew even stronger.
They weren’t in love or anything, there was no romantic sentiment between them, but they truly felt it was a coincidence.
Especially that conversation during the Heavenly Talent Summit, it was almost as if they were born of the same mother... no! Even if they were born of the same mother, they would at most just look similar, but their experiences wouldn’t be almost identical.
Why is this so?
They didn’t know.
It just felt like there was some mysterious force guiding things, a mysterious hand controlling everything.
But now, they felt even more confused.
Both said in unison: “I see a reflection of you and me in him!”
They said it at the same time and were equally startled, then fell silent.
“
This...?!”
“
You feel the same?”
After a long silence, they were even more surprised and incredulous.
It was just ridiculous!
Having one person who is more identical than identical twins is one thing, but now another one appears?
Although Mu Chen is still a child, and his current experiences are very limited, almost nothing can be seen, they just had this inexplicable feeling.
They always felt...
this kid is almost another version of themselves.
Just ridiculous!
Lin Dong gave a bitter laugh: “What do you plan to do?”
“
Take him back to show the Venerable Master.” Xiao Ling'er said decisively: “We’ve already informed his family.”
“
And since we both have this strange sense of familiarity, it means it’s not just my illusion.
“
Since that’s the case...
“
I really want to get to the bottom of it. Perhaps only the Venerable Master can give us answers.
“
Moreover, since you and I are valued by the Venerable Master, he... should be able to as well.”
Looking at the sleeping Mu Chen beside them, Xiao Ling'er felt particularly complex and strange.
“
For him, this is also a cultivation opportunity.
