“Don’t worry! Hold on tight!” Chen Xiaobei took Luo Puti’s hand and led her into the black projection.
In a blink of an eye, they were in an entirely different place.
The rhombus-shaped sun and purple sky had Luo Puti gaping.
That’s right!
This was that secret place that Chen Xiaobei discovered!
Right in the center of that space, there was a portal that led into the cave behind a giant waterfall in Silver Plume Forest.
In a manner of speaking, this space could be said to be located within Silver Plume Planet itself.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not really going bring Luo Puti to Silver Plume Planet. He merely wanted to get her used to the space.
Only after Chen Xiaobei had finally settled down only would he think about really bringing his friends and family over.
“Wow! This is amazing! The grass and the trees are completely different from those on earth! The sky… and the dense Spiritual Qi’s… My god…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuo Puti soon found herself completely immersed in this alternative world, where everything seemed to pique her interest.
She was especially excited about the dense Spiritual Qi that filled the air.
Spiritual Qi were an important resource to every cultivator!
Back on earth, due to the scarcity of Spiritual Qi, many of the Jianghu people would fight each other just to get their hands on them. A destructive war could break out among factions in a bid to possess an underground Spiritual Path!
For all Luo Puti knew, there were more Spiritual Qi here in this world than there were in any of the factions on earth!
Only a supreme ancient faction like Kunlun could possibly own an underground Spiritual Path with more Spiritual Qi than this!
Of course, her excitement quickly cooled down.
“I believe you! But how are we going to go back? I need to get that map! I have to!” Luo Puti asked in a grave tone.
Clearly, right now, all Luo Puti had in her mind was finding her parents.
Before this though, there was no space in her heart for anything else!
Chen Xiaobei smiled, “I brought you here. Of course, I could bring you back!”
“How? Don’t you lie to me!” Luo Puti’s forehead crinkled.
“After I’ve marked a place using the Returning Bracelet, I can return to that place no matter where I go! Take this place for example, I’ve already marked this place. So, say we came here from Bei Xuan faction, we can definitely return to Bei Xuan Faction from here! Now, since we came here from Mount Kunlun, we can also return to Kunlun in the same way.”
“Would it be as fast as how we came?”
“Yes!” Chen Xiaobei nodded and said. “So, you can hang around here, absorb some Spiritual Qi until we have to leave. We don’t have to wait in the mountains.”
“Alright. Then I can relax now…” Luo Puti sighed, the tension on her face began to slowly disappear.
…
In the main hall of Erlang’s Divine Being Temple of Guanjiang in the Heavenly Relam, sat two special deities.
One of them was draped in a black priest’s frock, having a strong aura emanating from his presence. Like a spreading ripple of water, everyone around him could feel his Dao slowly filling up the air. Clearly, he was someone extremely powerful!
The other one was clad in metal armor, his posture firm and steady. You could tell, at first glance, that he was an unmatched, seasoned soldier! A feature that stood out on his face was the third eye in the middle of his forehead, located slightly above his brows!
“Shishu Shen! It’s getting pretty late. Will that person you’ve sent succeed?” The three-eyed warrior was the master of this temple, Erlang Shen, Yang Jian!
Because Yang Jian’s Sifu was Yunding Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Deities of Chanism and the Chanism’s third generation disciple, he was one rank lower than the man in the black frock. This was why he addressed this guest as Shishu!
The person surnamed Shen was, obviously, none other than Shen Gongpao himself!
“Do you even have to ask? I have already taken everything into consideration!” Shen Gongpao wore a profound look on his face. “Chen Xiaobei’s cultivation is about 100,000 combat power. Because of the earthly realm’s law, the person I sent had to limit his cultivation to 90,000. So I gave him a Spiritual Item that could increase his combat power by 20,000! In total, that should be more than enough to overpower Chen Xiaobei!”
“Shishu Shen! By doing this, won’t it destroy the balance of the earthly realm?” Yang Jian asked, his tone filled with concern.
Because items in the heavenly realm were so powerful, they could not be simply brought down to the earthly realm. What Shen Gongpao did had violated the law of the human realm, laid down by the Ancestral Lord, Hong Diao!
“That, you don’t have to worry about!” Shen Gongpao said confidently, “With the Chanism in charge and the Primordial Lord of Heaven present, I am very sure the three realms won’t fall into chaos!”
“Yes… I understand…” nodded Yang Jian.
The moment the Primordial Lord of Heaven was mentioned, Yang Jian dared not raise any doubtsg.
After all, Sheng Gongpao had replaced Jiang Ziya and was now the Primordial Lord of Heaven’s spokesperson put in charge of the Divine Whip.
This meant that all these clandestine, cloak-and-dagger acts of Shen Gongpao were most likely from the direct orders of Primordial Lord of Heaven’s himself. How was this any of Yang Jian’s business?
“I think it’s almost time.” Shen Gongpao said. “I have Chen Xiaobei’s location accurately mapped out. The Heavenly General will now be able to find Chen Xiaobei right away! With such a huge differential in strength, he should be able to win without a problem, but why hasn’t he returned yet?…”
Zzzzzoooom!
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the center of the main hall and a black projection appeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“They’re back!” Yang Jian sat up straight, all three of his eyes stared fixated on the projection.
“I knew it! This is all as I have conjectured! This time, it will succeed! Chen Xiaobei can only be killed! Haha… Ah! Hack hack hack…”
Sheng Gongpao’s laughter turned into a violently choking fit as something suddenly rolled out of the projection. He was nearly asphyxiated by his own saliva.
Wang Cai was the first to come though. Nothing unusual there.
It was what came in next that looked very unusual.
From afar, it looked like a piece of meat, but upon closer inspection, it was a pig’s head!
Even Yang Jian was so shocked, he screamed at the top of his voice, “God! Where did this monster of a pig came from?!”
“Erlang Zhenjun… That’s not a monster or a pig… That’s Heavenly General Wang…” Wang Cai said meekly. “Chen Xiaobei beat him up…”
“What?! How is that possible?!” Erlang Shen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“What…” Shen Gongpao felt a stinging sensation on his face. He had sent his best man to get rid of Chen Xiaobei but in the end, it was Chen Xiaobei who had the last laugh!
This was a very painful slap in the face! Excruciating!
Ding
Shen Gongpao’s item made a sound.
When he took out the piece of smooth jasper token, a message appeared on the surface.
Chen Xiaobei: Shixiong Shen! Duan Wu Festival is near. I’ve sent you a pig head zhongzhi! Wishing you a Happy Duanwu Festival!
