Chapter 701: Choosing a Site for the Four Nine Immortal Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin put away the Ninety-Nine-Fold Extreme Heavenly Formation Disk and the Thousand Possibility Box before expressing his utmost gratitude to Lin Junjun.

If it wasn’t for Lin Junjun, he wouldn’t have been able to purchase these treasures, even if he had the money.

“I heard you’re going to establish a sect?” Lin Junjun suddenly asked.

An Lin’s expression shifted minutely. “How do you know about that?”

He hadn’t told anyone about this aside from all those who had gathered at his dorm room that night. Could it be that one of them let this secret slip from their tongue?

“I heard it about it from the staff at the school office who were recording where the students would be going after graduation. None of them expected the two prodigies Liu Qianhuan and Xin Zhu to have been stolen by you.” Lin Junjun looked at An Lin with a slight smile on her face.

An Lin was feeling a little guilty under her gaze, as if he were a little kid who had been caught red-handed doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

“Fortunately, you seem to have a certain level of moral compass since you refrained from promoting your sect in the university. Otherwise, hehe…” Lin Junjun waved her little fists around as she raised her chin. “Even if I can’t beat you up now, someone else is going to be teaching you a lesson.”

An Lin swallowed as he forced a smile onto his face. “I’m just establishing a sect for fun, so please don’t think anything of it. Also, please explain the situation to your father!”

The gravity of this matter was somewhat arbitrary.

It didn’t seem like a significant event, but the fact of the matter was that he had essentially stolen students from the Heavenly Court, and these were prodigies too. As such, it would not be going too far to accuse him of giving the Celestial Thearch himself a figurative slap to the face. Therefore, he had to ask his daughter to put in a good word for him.

With a smile, Lin Junjun inched her exquisitely beautiful face closer to An Lin’s face. “So even you get scared sometimes!”

An Lin was just about to speak when Lin Junjun continued, “Are you still recruiting members? I want to have some fun with you guys too. Of course, it’s just going to be on an in-name basis; I’m still a member of the Heavenly Court.”

“That… that’s probably not a good idea,” An Lin replied with a difficult expression.

Was she kidding? What if the Celestial Thearch looked into the matter upon finding that even his daughter had become a member of his sect? Even if it was just on an in-name basis, it was still a type of blatant provocation to the Heavenly Court!

Aside from that, he was also concerned that Lin Junjun might be a Heavenly Court spy. It would be quite concerning if the Heavenly Court was to plant a spy like her in his newly-budding sect!

“Oh… I see.” Lin Junjun backtracked a few steps before turning her gaze elsewhere. “You’re not going to be able to keep your sect a secret for much longer. Even if the current cohort of graduates don’t know about this, what about the next few cohorts?”

“You are a very influential character in the university, and there are most likely going to be a large number of graduates who would join your Four Nine Immortal Sect in the next few years. Do you think the Heavenly Court is just going to stand by and watch as one prodigy after another joins your sect in preference over the Heavenly Court? Or do you think they’re going to cheer you on for your endeavors?”

Lin Junjun’s eyes narrowed as a hint of professional maturity appeared on her face.

An Lin could obviously read between the lines, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want me to do?”

A slight smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face. “The Heavenly Court doesn’t want to let you go. As long as you agree to become a member of the Heavenly Court, you can do whatever you want, including establishing your Four Nine Immortal Sect, in which case you will have to assume the role of a sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect in conjunction with your official role in the Heavenly Court.

“Of course, the Heavenly Court won’t demand anything from the Four Nine Immortal Sect, and you will be free to do whatever you want with it. Furthermore, the Heavenly Court will nurture you unreservedly; you will have access to all the restricted areas, mystic realms, mystic techniques, as well as all the other benefits.”

An Lin didn’t reply. To be honest, even the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was a student of the Heavenly Court at this point in time, was it really possible for the Four Nine Immortal Sect to completely sever all relations with the Heavenly Court? It was clearly impossible.

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing!

It would be a lot easier for the sect to do things with such a powerful unspoken backer.

Furthermore, An Lin didn’t want to leave such a good place either. He had only just scratched the surface of the Heavenly Court, and he hadn’t even had a chance to delve deeper yet, so how could he just leave like this?

Hence, the conditions proposed by Lin Junjun were perfect for An Lin.

“Alright, I accept your conditions. But I can only assume a role with no obligations!” An Lin nodded.

A smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face upon seeing An Lin’s quick and affirmative reply. “No problem!”

“Oh, right, I have a small request.”

“Go on.”

“I also want to join the Four Nine Immortal Sect.”

“Sure, you can be an elder.”

“Thank you! Heehee, but I have to be the type of elder that has no obligations either.”

“Sure, not only will you have no obligations, but you’ll also be an elder with no remuneration!”

“Tch, stingy!”

After bidding Lin Junjun farewell, An Lin continued to rest.

He had just been completely depleted by the Thousand Possibility Box, so he had to replenish his energy.

Thus, he slept with Xue Zhantian for another day.

A burst of urgent knocking suddenly sounded.

Knock knock knock knock…

This time, the sound of door-knocking had zero repetition and without any rhythm.

“Coming, coming…”

An Lin opened his eyes before walking toward the door.

This style of haphazard knocking definitely did not belong to an elegant and cultured woman like Lin Junjun.

He opened the door to find a woman standing outside with a radiant and enchanting smile on her face.

“Let’s go, An Lin!”

“Alright. I’ll call up Da Bai, Tina, and Xiao Ze!”

The woman standing outside his door was none other than Liu Qianhuan. It was time for them to choose a site for their sect.

An Lin flew through the air via dog kinesis flight alongside Liu Qianhuan as they headed toward the university’s teleportation spell formation.

“The Kingdom of the Nine States is so big, which state should we go to first?” Liu Qianhuan turned to look at An Lin.

“Among the Stone Dragon State, Wind Plain State, Purple Star State, Gem State, Thunder State, Spirit Sword State, Ancient Void State, Heavenly River State, and Bai Hua State, I think it’s best to skip the states where the presence of the four great sects is too overbearing,” An Lin proposed.

Liu Qianhuan nodded. “Alright, so we won’t go to the Mythological Beast Sect’s Stone Dragon State, the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect’s Wind Plain State, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Ancient Void State, and the Vermilion Bird Sect’s Bai Hua State. We also want a place that will facilitate safe and stable development, so let’s also eliminate states where wars regularly take place.”

“M-hm.” An Lin nodded and said, “So we’ll eliminate the Gem State, which neighbors the Dark Marshlands, and the Heavenly River State, which is close to the Ant Tribe. As such, there are only the Purple Star State, Thunder State, and Spirit Sword State left.”

“The Purple Star State is located in the northeastern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and Susu’s Green Wood Imperial Family is also there, so wouldn’t it be a more convenient location for us?” Liu Qianhuan suggested.

An Lin’s eyes lit up upon seeing this. “That sounds good, let’s visit the Purple Star State first!”

Thus, the two of them chose the teleportation spell formation leading to the Purple Star State to officially commence their journey to establish their sect.

Meanwhile, at the easternmost tip of the Purple Star State.

On a vast expanse of charred earth where no grass grew, the dark ground below squirmed as if it were a living being.

The sound of singing wafted for several thousand kilometers with the light breeze, but there seemed to be no source to the sound, as if the voice belonged to heaven and earth and did not have a set origin.

A woman in an elegant white robe strolled along the charred earth with a nostalgic expression on her face.

“Purple Star, I’m back.”
