Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the “All Cultivators of the World Unite Together to Protect Earth” group chat.
Green River Sword Immortal: “All done, the b*stards from the Dark Sorcery Cult have been all wiped out.”
Golden Jade: “Did Mr. An Lin participate in the battle?”
Green River Sword Immortal: “Sure did, and he brought along seven Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators as reinforcement too.”
Crack Shot Clairvoyant: “Holy f*ck, that’s crazy!”
Green River Sword Immortal: “Sure was, the Dark Sorcery Cult and their Fire Poison Cult reinforcements were all insta-killed, I just stood aside and did nothing the whole time. I don’t know why, but I felt quite distressed as I watched from the sidelines…”
Calm Celestial Maiden: “It’s because they stole your kills.”
Atomic Bomb Fairy: “Spot on analysis there!”
Daoist Wooden Ox: “+1”
Green River Sword Immortal: “…”
At this moment, Tian Lingling posted a picture to the group.
It was a picture of her hugging a huge white dog, grinning from ear to ear.
Tian Lingling: “I love Da Bai!!!”
Calm Celestial Maiden: “Wow, it’s so cute yet imposing, whose dog is it?”
Tian Lingling: “This is Fake Daoist Priest’s beast pet. Mind you, it’s at Spirit Nurturing Final Stage.”
Daoist Wooden Ox: “…”
The Savior: “Holy f*ck, even his beast pets are so insane now?!”
Tian Lingling: “Why is that strange? Fake Daoist Priest is also Spirit Nurturing Final Stage now.”
Enlightened Lazurite: “I remember he was only ninth stage Dao Body two years ago, right? How is he already Spirit Nurturing Final Stage?”
Tian Lingling: “Well, he was only zero stage Dao Body three years ago…”
Enlightened Lazurite: “…”
Dreamy Voice Fairy: “…”
Golden Jade: “…”
Crack Shot Clairvoyant: “…”
Calm Celestial Maiden: “I need some peace and quiet.”
Atomic Bomb Fairy: “Are we even in the same cultivation system here? My heart suddenly aches so much!”
Daoist Red Wyrm: “I am trash.”
…
The group chat descended into an eerie silence.
“Hahahaha…” Tian Lingling was staring at her phone, laughing her ass off while patting Da Bai’s bum.
“How come the little girls in the mortal world are even more brazen than I am? Woof!” Da Bai protested loudly.
An Lin grimaced in response. He was beginning to think it was a bad idea to let her ride Da Bai.
“Fake Daoist Priest, the group chat has been completely knocked out by your freakish progress.”
“F*ck! Are you making enemies for me again!?”
“How could this be considered making enemies? I’m just encouraging the cultivators in our group chat to follow your example and work harder!”
“Oh really? Then who was it that almost cried after hearing that I had broken through to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage?”
“…”
“Hmph, turns out this little girl is not only brazen, but she’s also a hypocrite.” Da Bai was spot on with his evaluation.
And then he had his a*s slapped again.
An Lin brought out his phone and called a number.
A familiar voice sounded from the other side; the voice seemed to be quivering from emotion.
“Little Lin, is that you?”
An Lin smiled as the voice from the other side also stirred up emotions within him. “It’s me, dad, I’m back. How have you been?”
“I’ve been great, I’ve been feeling better with each passing day ever since I started cultivating!”
“That’s good to hear. Are you still using WeChat? Send your location to me, I’ll bring you some love!”
“Haha, my Little Lin is back! I’ve been working hard on cultivating, so I haven’t really been using WeChat much. I’ll end the call and send my location to you.”
An Mingchuan immediately ended the call and sent out his location.
It was clear to see that he was very eager to see his son.
A rush of warmth flowed through An Lin’s heart, and a smile surfaced on his face as he looked at the location sent to him.
Especially after hearing how healthy his dad sounded over the phone, a massive weight seemed to have been unloaded from his shoulders.
“Uncle An is a new rising star in our National Cultivation Department. He reached the fifth stage Dao Body after only two years of cultivating. This is almost a new record for the department,” Tian Lingling informed An Lin with a hint of admiration.
“Of course, look at how badass his son is! As the saying goes, like father like son, and vice versa!” An Lin boasted triumphantly.
Tian Lingling rolled her eyes. “How is your skin so thick? Even when I’m complimenting your father, you still find a way to make it all about you!”
“Big Brother An’s skin is like an indestructible fortress, this I agree with! Woof!” Da Bai chimed in with approval.
An Lin ignored their “compliments” and began to whistle a tune to himself.
An Mingchuan’s rate of progression could only be partially attributed to all the cultivating resources An Lin had left him. The other vital factor was that his aptitude for cultivation was quite good. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for him to reach the fifth stage Dao Body even with all the resources he had.
Atop the North Mist Mountain, the summit was constantly obscured under a layer of cloud and mist all year round. There was an area which was cut off by a wire fence, preventing outsiders from entering.
There was even a huge spell formation that obscured the interior from the gaze of the outside world, essentially creating the perfect smokescreen.
Even if a plane were to fly past from above, all the passengers would be able to see would be an expanse of beautiful scenery.
An Mingchuan stood atop the misty summit, awaiting his son’s arrival.
A middle-aged man in a simple Daoist robe walked over and laughed heartily. “Mingchuan, I just received word that your son is coming, eh?”
An Mingchuan immediately saluted the middle-aged man respectfully. “Master, Little Lin said he has already arrived in the Ji Province.”
The middle-aged man was An Mingchuan’s cultivation teacher. His name was Cui Zhe, and he was a high-level instructor from the National Cultivation Department, with a cultivation base of Spirit Nurturing Final Stage.
Powerful cultivators like Cui Zhe were ranked among the top in the special combat department.
However, even with his lofty status, Cui Zhe was still extremely easygoing and wholeheartedly imparted all his knowledge upon An Mingchuan. On one hand, it was because An Mingchuan truly had a great aptitude for cultivation. On the other hand, it was because An Mingchuan had a good son.
Perhaps other people weren’t aware of just how insane An Lin was, but Cui Zhe was very much involved in the National Cultivation Department and had heard of An Lin’s legendary feats. To him, An Lin was a mighty figure who possessed unfathomable power.
Fate and opportunities were an important part of cultivating, and Cui Zhe felt like An Mingchuan was an opportunity for him.
“Haha… Looks like your son is here.”
Cui Zhe narrowed his eyes and stared into the distance. The boundless aura he sensed coming from that direction made him tremble with anticipation.
He opened the mountain’s defensive spell formation and welcomed the guests in.
He was then greeted to the sight of two people riding atop a giant white dog.
Cui Zhe’s eyelids twitched as shock welled up in his heart.
Just that beast pet alone possessed a cultivation base that was equal to his.
Who would have thought that An Lin had progressed to such a level after only two years, how terrifying…
“Dad!”
An Lin leaped off Da Bai and enveloped An Mingchuan in a bear hug.
“Haha, you look pretty good!” An Mingchuan beamed as he patted An Lin’s back.
“Of course, I’m super badass now!” An Lin smiled smugly.
He was ecstatic to see that his father’s white hair had already regressed back to black, and there were also fewer wrinkles on his face.
“Hi, uncle!” Tian Lingling leaped off Da Bai and greeted An Mingchuan in a cute voice.
“Oh, Lingling is here as well?” An Mingchuan’s eyes lit up as he greeted her in response.
Tian Lingling had come to visit An Mingchuan many times on the North Mist Mountain, so they were quite familiar with each other.
“Let me introduce you to my master, Cui Zhe,” An Mingchuan introduced.
An Lin immediately adopted a respectful expression after learning that the middle-aged man beside him was his father’s cultivation instructor.
He immediately saluted him politely. “Uncle Cui, thank you for instructing my father, I must spread the love to you with a present as well.”
Cui Zhe immediately declined as a subconscious response. “Instructing your father is just part of my job, I can’t accept anything from you!”
“No no, it’s all thanks to you that my father was able to become the fastest-progressing cultivator in the whole department, I must express my gratitude to you.” An Lin waved his hand with a firm expression.
Cui Zhe could only nod in resignation, but he was feeling quite pleased at the same time.
An Mingchuan was definitely a great opportunity for him!
