At the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court.
Two divine generals were selecting a destination point for An Lin and the others.
“Giant An Lin, I’ve been working really hard on my Mandarin for the past two days. Is my pronunciation up to standard?” Tina asked in extremely fluent Mandarin with exceptional pronunciation.
With shock and admiration on his face, An Lin caressed Tina’s tiny head. “You’re so awesome, Little Na! You can be a radio host with your pronunciation!”
Tina smiled sweetly as she rubbed her head against An Lin’s palm elatedly.
Xuanyuan Cheng stood rooted to the spot in shock after hearing their exchange. “I’ve studied Mandarin for several years, but a fairy has better language skills than me after just a two-day crash course?”
“Don’t take it to heart, Big Brother Cheng. Aptitude really isn’t fair.” An Lin delivered another blow to his heart.
Back in the day, he had witnessed how Tina had mastered the Tai Chu Language in a few days, so he was already familiar with Tina’s terrifying learning abilities.
Xuanyuan Cheng was speechless. Like Master, like beast pet! Even all of An Lin’s beast pets were beasts!
Even the most simple and plain Da Bai was already at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage…
What was most infuriating was Da Bai was constantly bemoaning himself as a useless dog!
What the f*ck?! How as anyone supposed to cultivate with this group around?
Beep beep beep…
A beeping tone sounded.
“Student An Lin, we’ve set your destination teleportation point. It is going to be in the capital city of Hua Nation, and we are now going to commence teleportation,” a divine general said.
Upon hearing this, An Lin nodded and walked into the space teleportation gate first.
Boom!
After a burst of dizziness, two people, a dog, and a fairy appeared in the air over the capital city.
“Wow! Is this Earth?” Tina looked around at the skyscrapers and the busy roads that were filled with cars and people as her emerald eyes lit up with excitement.
“That’s right, this is the capital city of the Earth’s Hua Nation. My father is also cultivating here.” A reminiscent expression appeared on An Lin’s face as he spoke.
“It’s livelier and more bustling than the Divine Mirror World,” Tina evaluated.
“It’s alright. It is a beautiful world.” An Lin smiled.
The Divine Mirror World was into its second industrial revolution and was in the process of integrating cultivation with heat energy and magnetic energy. Even though it was only just taking its first steps and had not reached Earth’s level, it was quite clear that the Divine Mirror World was going to flourish even more so than Earth in the near future.
“Classmate An Lin, I’ll set up the spatial fluctuation detection machine. You go meet up with your father.” Xuanyuan Cheng made an extremely thoughtful gesture.
An Lin didn’t refuse, and he nodded in gratitude. “Thanks, Big Brother Cheng!”
This was quite a free mission, in which the members were given free rein, and aside from the final deadline of a month, they didn’t have any other deadline to meet. During that month, they had to investigate the passageway between the Dark Wing Tribe and Earth to find the flaw in this world.
Earth was Nuwa’s territory, and with her protection, there should have been no chance for outsiders to invade it. However, the Dark Wing Tribe was somehow able to descend upon Earth and had taken the Evil-Slaying Sword. This had even alerted Nuwa herself.
After that, Nuwa sent people to investigate this matter for a full three years. There was even a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure that had been deployed, but they were still unable to figure out what had happened.
Recently, the temperatures on Earth were rising in a peculiar manner, and the vital energy here had also increased significantly in terms of its richness. This had resulted in all types of living beings evolving at a quicker rate, which caused unrest among the ferocious beasts.
It was because of this that the Heavenly Court had deployed people to help Nuwa’s people in maintaining the stability of the Earth.
An Lin and the others had received the highest-level mission, which was to investigate for the hidden flaws on Earth. This type of mission was almost impossible to complete, as exemplified by the fact that even a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was unable to complete it.
As such, there wasn’t much urgency as they didn’t know what to do anyway.
After bidding farewell to Xuanyuan Cheng, An Lin rode on Da Bai before traveling toward the North Mist Mountain, which was the official cultivation holy land of the capital city.
“Giant An Lin, this Earth was created by Nuwa, so couldn’t she just come here and use her power over this world to instantly figure out what was wrong with it?” Tina was also a God of Creation, and she was feeling quite perplexed about this.
An Lin heaved a resigned sigh. “That’s where our problem lies. Even though Nuwa has created this small world, she decided to hand over control to the Great Dao of heaven and earth in order to allow Earth to progress naturally without any interference from her. Not only that, but in order to prevent higher beings from influencing this world, she would suppress her actions to the greatest extent possible even when she visited Earth herself, in fear of triggering changes in the laws of the world…”
Tina pursed her lips. “So we’re just working for Nuwa?”
“Er…” An Lin faltered for a moment before replying, “Nuwa must have considered a lot for her to create this world and relinquish her control over it. However, one thing that does not change is that everything she does is to benefit our human race. Hence, when we help her, we’re actually helping ourselves.”
Tina finally felt a lot better after having it explained to her this way.
She was already considering herself a part of the human race, and she became much more joyful at the prospect that her actions would benefit the development of the human race.
North Mist Mountain.
Within a massive spell formation, this was a scenic set of mountain ranges.
At the summit of the mountain, there were many cultivators who had gathered around a dao plaza so that they could witness a thrilling battle.
At the center of the dao plaza, sword intents clashed and vital energy surged.
An Mingchuan was battling Ye Dong in an intense battle in order to decide who would be the champion of the Hua Nation North Mist Mountain Cultivation Rookie Tournament.
The North Mist Mountain was the center of the official Hua Nation cultivation forces.
Their rookie cup basically attracted all of the top young cultivators of the Hua Nation, and as such, the final battle of this championship was widely anticipated.
Just the number of spectators alone reached several hundred in number, and there were even a few Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful beings who were acting as judges. Looking at it from this perspective, this was quite a large tournament.
“Go, Uncle An!” a petite young woman with short, brown hair yelled words of encouragement.
This was the tiny loli with exceptional talent, Tian Lingling.
Tian Lingling had reached the Spirit Nurturing Stage half a year ago, and she was still the most dazzling existence among the younger generation.
The battle was still raging.
An Mingchuan was at the eighth-stage Dao Body, while Ye Dong was a tenth-stage Dao Body cultivator, but neither of them was able to gain the upper hand. This wasn’t to say that An Mingchuan was supremely talented or that Ye Dong was a trashy noob. After all, both of them had outstanding aptitudes and cultivated at the North Mist Mountain, so they used the same cultivation methods.
The main reason for this… was because An Mingchuan was too f*cking rich!
Ye Dong finally managed to land a sword strike on An Mingchuan’s body, only for a powerful rebounding force to knock him back a few steps instead.
This was An Mingchuan’s high-rank protective spirit tool, the Golden Rebounding Armor. Not only did it possess insane defensive properties, but it could also rebound his opponents’ attacks to a certain extent.
An Mingchuan slapped his chest and chuckled as he stood completely unscathed.
Ye Dong: “…”
At this moment, a frosty sword projection suddenly hurtled toward him.
Ye Dong let loose a loud roar as he used his longsword to parry the attack, upon which a terrifying clash ensued.
He stumbled back in retreat and looked at the magic tool in his hand, only to find that it was on the brink of snapping in half.
An Mingchuan hoisted his sword in front of him before chuckling. “Mr. Ye Dong, hurry up and surrender, or your little magic tool is going to be broken by me.”
The Blue Frost Sword was an intermediate-rank spirit tool that was not only extremely sharp, but it also imbued each of his strikes with the power of frost and ice.
“Surrender? What a joke!” Ye Dong was unwilling to accept this. He was clearly the more powerful cultivator, so how could he lose to a tycoon cultivator?
“Do you think you’re top sh*t just because you have a good son? Take this! Wrath of the Frosty Winter!” Ye Dong roared as he hurtled toward An Mingchuan, and his sword flashed through the air with the terrifying power of wind and snow.
This sword strike was extremely fast and powerful, and the space around his sword congealed slightly. Even a Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage cultivator would be forced to evade this attack.
Sure enough, all of the spectating cultivators let loose cries of surprise upon seeing this strike.
Right at this moment…
An Mingchuan extended his left hand, upon which was a silver glove appeared as he caught the blade of Ye Dong’s sword in his hand.
A smile appeared on his face. “Sorry. I really am top sh*t just because I have a good son.”
This was the high-rank spirit tool, Storm Glove, which could use the power of the wind to seal an enemy’s attack!
An expression of despair appeared on Ye Dong’s face as he witnessed his most powerful attack being caught so easily by a glove. Even tears were beginning to well up in his eyes. “This isn’t fair! This is not your power!”
An Mingchuan smiled faintly, but the longsword in his hand fell without hesitation!
“Foolish child, being rich is a manifestation of my power!”
