Chapter 507: Ling'er's Return, Bringing Back Mu Chen
Chapter 507: Ling'er's Return, Bringing Back Mu Chen
"We didn't cover up anything about Heavenly Pig."
"Nor do we know anything about him."
"That pig? He was born eating his own mother, an ill omen, so we got rid of him."
"What, is that wrong too?"
The little black piglet was still sleeping!
After swallowing his mother in one bite, he didn't seem to be in a dire state, but he was still very weak.
He needed to 'digest' and rest as well.
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and sighed, then left.
"..."
In the depths of the Chaotic Abyss.
The robed man struggled to open his eyes, and at this moment, he felt even weaker.
"???"
"Why is there another mishap?!"
"This..."
He was dazed and found it hard to believe.
He had exhausted his strength, used his backup plan, and even his hidden trump cards. Everything had been arranged and planned out perfectly.
All that was left was to secretly influence some people in the Immortal Palace, making them publicly declare that those war generals were not cautious enough. Then, he would send people to investigate the Moon Embrace Sect thoroughly.
With a thorough investigation, Heavenly Pig would have nowhere to hide, and the Moon Embrace Sect would be guilty of harboring him.
The Immortal Palace would be enraged.
The Moon Embrace Sect would be doomed...
Then, the monkey and the Immortal Palace would become sworn enemies. After some diligent cultivation, the monkey would create chaos in the Immortal Palace.
After that, it would be time for his long-planned journey to the west.
Once everything was concluded...
His era would arrive! But...
Damn it, why is there another mishap?
Why?!
How many times has this happened?
Who is targeting me?
Even with his strength and countless unimaginable experiences, he couldn't help but feel like cursing.
After all...
His condition was already poor, and opportunities were scarce.
He had planned for countless years, and only then did he barely succeed in his strategy.
According to his plan, he should have been able to break through with a small force, shattering the entire situation. But instead, he failed time and time again...
This wasn't because someone was targeting him; he couldn't believe it!
But who was it?
"Those old bald donkeys?"
"No, my understanding of them surpasses their own."
"The Sovereign of the Immortal Palace?"
"He... it's unlikely."
"Then who else?"
In the vast Three Thousand Mile Continent, there were only a few people who mattered to him.
Apart from these individuals, he couldn't think of anyone else, and none of these people were the culprits.
Was this some kind of ghostly mischief?
No!
Ghosts wouldn't dare to show themselves to him; they'd be scared to death from ten thousand miles away.
"After countless calculations and planning for so many years, there's still a loophole?"
"..."
He forced himself to stay awake, avoiding sleep, and carefully thought through the reasons for these repeated failures.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
"Every failure is related to the Moon Embrace Sect!"
"These moves, these pieces, had no issues before and always followed my plan."
"But once it involves the Moon Embrace Sect, once they come into contact with the Moon Embrace Sect, mistakes start to happen!"
"Again and again..."
"The monkey was like this!"
"Logically, the people from the Immortal Palace should have easily defeated the monkey's senior brothers and sisters."
"Yet, they were all killed instead."
"That's not surprising, but after being killed, the Immortal Palace actually 'calmed' the situation without pursuing revenge??"
"This pig clearly showed unimaginable talent, devouring its mother at birth, it's definitely a promising monster beast. Why did they discard it??"
"This Moon Embrace Sect..."
"There's definitely a problem! ! !"
At this moment, he was certain.
The reason for his failures was entirely because of the Moon Embrace Sect.
This Moon Embrace Sect was like a natural nemesis to him!
But no matter what...
The situation had to continue.
Who cares about the Moon Embrace Sect?
"Let's activate the next piece for now."
"At this moment, there's no time to worry about anything else."
"As for the final journey to the west..."
"As long as the other pieces don't make mistakes, no one can stop me when the time comes!"
"..."
He couldn't hold on any longer.
After activating the next piece, he instantly fell into a deep sleep.
His condition was truly terrible.
He needed to accumulate his strength for a long time before he could wake up for a moment.
This time, he managed to persist for so long because the pieces kept going wrong, infuriating him, so he kept 'gritting his teeth and enduring'.
When he realized that this matter was connected to the Moon Embrace Sect and decided to temporarily avoid them, he couldn't hold on any longer.
...
On this day, the Moon Embrace Sect was bustling with unprecedented excitement.
Xiao Ling'er and Lin Dong had returned! They also brought back a little boy named Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was now eleven years old, with rosy lips and white teeth. Due to his early maturation, he looked somewhat handsome and even had a hint of bravery beyond his years.
"Pay respects to Master!"
Seeing Lin Fan again, Xiao Ling'er's heart ached, and countless emotions welled up inside her.
She didn't cry, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lin Dong, on the other hand, was much calmer, but finally 'home,' he also felt significantly more relaxed.
He had once been betrayed by his own sect...
For a while, he thought he would never trust another sect again, but now, he had complete faith in the Moon Embrace Sect and once again felt at home.
Living outdoors, enduring the elements, was nothing compared to the constant danger they faced, which kept their nerves on edge, never allowing them to relax.
Now that they were 'home,' the feeling of relaxation was indescribable.
"It's good to be back."
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "How was your journey?"
"Thanks to Master's blessings..."
"Lin Dong chuckled, "We've all had quite the harvest. Resources, opportunities, cultivation techniques, and secret techniques, we've gained a lot."
"Mm."
Xiao Ling'er nodded, "We've all had some remarkable opportunities."
"It's said that traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books. Although we've made progress from our previous seclusions, the gains from this journey are so profound that I'd need three days and three nights to fully explain them."
"Not only have we broadened our horizons and gained new insights, but our comprehension of cultivation has also advanced by leaps and bounds, with far-reaching effects."
"We've returned because of our exceptional gains, and we need time to seclude ourselves and consolidate our progress."
"And..."
"Master."
"I've found a suitable candidate for a junior disciple."
She brought Mu Chen, who was full of curiosity, before Lin Fan, "His name is Mu Chen."
"Mu Chen..."
Mu Chen?
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.
His blood sea clone had met him before.
But now, meeting him in person, with every blink of his eyes, countless stars revolved, and in just one glance, he saw countless causes and effects, and... the grand trend! His destiny was astonishing!
This ability was partly due to the 'evolution' of his Eye Technique, and partly from the shared insights of the Heavenly Maiden, White Zebra.
With just one glance, an enemy's strength could not be hidden!
Unless they were above the Immortal King realm, Lin Fan could clearly discern their cultivation level with a single look.
He could even see the 'amount of karma' they carried! And even the 'grand trend'.
In other words, their destiny.
The karma and grand trend that Mu Chen carried made Lin Fan certain that even if he wasn't the 'Mu Chen template', he was still a person of destiny.
This kind of person...
Could be accepted!
Character and personality?
Xiao Ling'er was an expert in this area; how could a junior disciple chosen by her be anything less than exceptional?
Moreover, his surname was Mu! Not Tang, right?
Speaking slowly, but in reality, it was just a fleeting moment.
Lin Fan smiled, "Since you think he's suitable, there's no problem."
"But we also need to ask about your own willingness."
Mu Chen hurriedly bowed, "Please, Master, accept me as your disciple."
Everyone present laughed.
Lin Fan gained a good disciple~ Although Mu Chen was young and didn't have much enhancement in terms of combat power, his talent and comprehension were 'hard currency'!
After the apprenticeship ceremony...
Lin Fan, along with Fu Ning'er and her sister, took Mu Chen around to show him the sights and introduce him to the sect. They also left Xiao Ling'er and Lin Dong to chat.
"Master."
Xiao Ling'er took out many treasures, including some rare ones, intending to offer them to Lin Fan.
After seeing them, Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ling'er, I know your filial piety, and I'm aware of your significant gains. If you want to place them in the sect's treasure vault, I won't stop you, but offering them to me is unnecessary."
"These items are of no use to me at the moment, so you might as well keep them; they'll be more useful in your hands."
"Additionally, I had some insights recently and gained some understanding of refining Immortal Pills. I've also obtained numerous pill formulas, which I'll pass on to you later."
"Mast~er~!" Xiao Ling'er, seeing that Lin Fan wasn't accepting the treasures, started hugging Lin Fan's arm and acting coquettishly, "Disciple has been wandering the world and finally gained some achievements. I want to show my respect to Master, but Master won't accept them..."
"Does Master not like disciple anymore?"
Who could resist such a gesture?
Lin Fan couldn't help but give in.
Hmm...
This guy was a typical softie.
"Okay, okay."
"I'll accept them, you little rascal."
Lin Fan's smile was radiant.
Accepting his disciple's well-intentioned gifts was fine.
However, it was still necessary to decline politely.
"Hehe."
Xiao Ling'er laughed and took the opportunity to boast about her master, who could even refine Immortal Pills.
Subsequently, Lin Dong also offered some valuable items.
This time, Lin Fan didn't refuse.
If he had accepted Xiao Ling'er's gifts, it would be rude not to accept Lin Dong's.
Moreover, declining again would seem overly pretentious.
"I observed your cultivation realms."
"You're not far from breaking through, are you?"
When they left, both were in the early stages of the Tenth Realm.
But now, they were not far from the later stages.
Apparently, they had encountered many opportunities.
Furthermore, since they mentioned the need for 'consolidation', breaking through to the late Tenth Realm was undoubtedly a sure thing, and it wouldn't even consume much time or effort.
Not only that.
Lin Fan was certain that their return wasn't merely about breaking through a minor realm.
Instead...
They had the confidence to break through a major realm after consolidation!
In other words...
For them, the Eleventh Realm wasn't far off either.
Both of them smiled and nodded.
"After consolidating our gains, we should be able to break through to the Eleventh Realm."
Lin Fan congratulated them and then began to impart his teachings.
He shared the insights and techniques suitable for the two of them, gained during this period.
This included the understanding of refining Immortal Pills, pill formulas, and more.
Although Lin Fan's comprehension was higher than theirs, and he could figure things out faster...
If his disciples could benefit, so could Lin Fan~!
After the two of them left happily, Lin Fan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Xiao Ling'er and the others are not far from the Eleventh Realm, so the others are probably even closer."
"Shi Shi, Ya Ya, Qin Yu, and the others..."
"Soon, the overall combat strength of the Moon Embrace Sect will take a big step forward. For me personally, the Fourteenth Realm will no longer be a concern."
"Seemingly..."
Lin Fan's breakthrough speed appeared to be relatively slow.
After sharing so many protagonist templates and the insights and talents of geniuses, he wasn't much faster than his disciples? But one must understand that the path of cultivation was about defying the heavens, and the higher the realm, the slower the breakthrough speed.
The disciples only needed to focus on cultivation, but Lin Fan had much more to consider.
Once again, Xiao Ling'er and the others were out adventuring, encountering all sorts of fortuitous events and opportunities... their luck was off the charts!
But what about Lin Fan?
He had been staying home all along.
Moreover, the most crucial difference was their unique abilities.
Their paths were different too!
Their special abilities and templates destined them for various fortuitous encounters, allowing them to grow rapidly. But Lin Fan didn't have these opportunities, or at least not the 'destined' ones.
Therefore, to break through, he could only rely on his efforts after sharing.
However, sharing wasn't an infinite positive boost.
Let's take a simple example.
Lin Fan simultaneously shared Shi Hao's talent and Liu Xin Yue's talent.
Shi Hao's talent was exceptional, to say the least.
As for Liu Xin Yue, this Liu family member had just barely reached the threshold for sharing.
Could it be that after sharing the talents of both, Lin Fan would possess Shi Hao's talent plus Liu Xin Yue's talent?
That was clearly nonsense.
Liu Xin Yue's talent, comprehension, and other attributes, after merging with the Wild Heaven Emperor, were like a drop of water in the ocean.
It barely caused a ripple.
This wasn't a math problem; it wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two.
If some of the shared targets had 'talent' and 'comprehension' that were 'exactly the same,' then this aspect wouldn't have much effect.
However...
Fortunately, Lin Fan could share with many people.
Even if there was some overlap, what remained still piled up to make him an all-around talent.
Xiao Ling'er's fire attribute talent, her alchemy talent, Lin Dong's martial arts talent, Chen Bei's freakishly strong physique, the Wild Heaven Emperor's terrifying comprehension, Ya Ya's tenacity...
These combined made Lin Fan's comprehension sky-high and comprehensive.
However, overall, in terms of 'breaking through realms,' it was normal for him to be one major realm ahead of his disciples.
But realm didn't represent combat power.
On the surface, he was only one major realm higher, but after sharing their cultivation, being two major realms higher was no problem.
Hence, the gap in combat power was still significant.
Therefore, he never felt that his disciples were 'extraordinary,' and he wasn't worried that they would threaten him. Even if he didn't believe in his unique ability, he should trust in their character, right?
"But it's still not enough."
"The fourteenth rank, even if it's an invincible power in the fourteenth rank, wouldn't cause much of a stir in the Three Thousand Isles."
"What surprised me was..."
"The progress on Luo Feng's side is truly fast."
Sometimes, when Lin Fan had nothing better to do, he would individually share a disciple's combat power. By doing so, even if they weren't in the sect, he could still roughly estimate their current cultivation.
In the previous period, Luo Feng's progress was mostly average.
His martial and spiritualist boosts were temporarily set aside, and the boost from the cultivation world was almost negligible. The boost to Lin Fan's combat power was also almost ignorable.
But now...
This boost was like a thousand miles a day!!!
Recently, he had already entered the tenth rank and achieved immortality!
There was even a trend of surpassing others.
It was outrageous.
"What a fortuitous encounter."
Lin Fan sighed, "Fortuitous encounters are truly incredible."
"Unbelievable."
"However, this fortuitous encounter seems to be 'beyond the script,' right?"
"After all, in the original Devour novel, there wasn't such a giant city for the Golden Horned Beast to devour."
"Speaking of which, I need to strive for it too."
"Strive to enter the twelfth rank early."
"Thoroughly dominate within the fourteenth rank, and with more effort, achieve the combat power of the fifteenth rank."
"The fifteenth rank is barely considered a step into the room."
Not to mention the entire Immortal Realm, even just the Three Thousand Isles, were too vast and powerful.
There were countless experts.
The combat power of the fifteenth rank wasn't incredible; it could only be said that under normal circumstances, one could basically protect themselves.
But...
With so many protagonist template disciples, how could they not cause chaos?
"Damn, the responsibility is heavy, and the road is long."
"..."
...
Mechanical City.
Currently, the numerous junkyards within the city were completely under Babata's control.
Luo Feng and Babata had already mastered the language and programs of the Mechanical Race, which was why they could maximize their benefits during this period.
Luo Feng's main body was in a stage of steady and solid improvement.
But the Golden Horned Beast that had infiltrated was eating like never before!
It even ate to the point of falling into a deep sleep several times.
After digestion, the speed of its strength increase wasn't ordinary.
Junk?
It was indeed junk, but the opponent of the Mechanical Race was the Endless Great Wall and the Three Thousand Isles behind it. The materials and equipment they could support for the Mechanical Race to fight against were not ordinary.
At least, the combat power of the eleventh and twelfth ranks was almost like cannon fodder.
The fourteenth and fifteenth ranks weren't uncommon.
Therefore, Luo Feng and Babata were both very happy.
If Luo Feng could enter the fifteenth rank...
Hiss!
Just thinking about it was stimulating.
That night, he muttered, "It's best if a major war breaks out, bringing more valuable 'junk,' so that your Golden Horned Beast's strength will increase even faster!"
