An Lin and the others flew out of the Holy Glacial Lands and entered the Kingdom of the Nine States.
An Lin's system suddenly flashed again.
He opened it to discover that there was an update on the mission progress for the God of War Heaven Blasting Cannon. There were now six supreme beings of Return to Void Stage or above that abhorred him, with the Wild Saber Immortal being the newest addition to this list...
"Tsk, that's weird, why has this idiot only decided to hate me now? Shouldn't it have hated me back when I broke through that spell formation?" An Lin was a little puzzled.
What he didn't know was that the Wild Saber Immortal was currently getting the crap bashed out of it by the Divine Bat Emperor.
The Divine Bat Emperor didn't believe a single word of the explanation offered by the Wild Saber Immortal with regard to how the formation had been broken.
The Kirin Blood Jade was almost within reach, but it had slipped away just like that. How could the Divine Bat Emperor accept this? There was no way for it to vent its rage, so it could only use the Wild Saber Immortal as a sandbag!
The Wild Saber Immortal's hatred toward An Lin initially was insufficient to place it on the list of supreme beings that abhorred An Lin. However, it had finally completely snapped after suffering the beating of its life!
On a massive floating continent.
Amid a vast expanse of buildings and divine abodes glinting with divine glow, a massive spatial rift appeared.
A graceful man in an imperial robe and with a hint of insurmountable might exuding from his body stepped out from the rift, with several humans and beasts following along behind him.
"This is my Treasure Pavilion, wait here for a moment."
The person who had just spoken was none other than the monarch of the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Thearch.
An Lin and the others waited obediently.
A Celestial Maiden in a simple daoist robe approached them from nearby.
"An Lin, Xiaolan, Xiao Ze, I'm so glad you're all safe!" The Celestial Maiden made her way toward them with an elated smile on her face.
"It's all thanks to your timely report. Also, your dad is awesome!" An Lin did not keep his admiration of the Celestial Thearch a secret.
"That's right! The Celestial Thearch is the most bad*ss mighty figure I've ever seen!" Xu Xiaolan nodded in agreement.
The Celestial Maiden was none other than the daughter of the Celestial Thearch, Lin Junjun, and the smile on her face became even more pronounced upon hearing praise directed at her father."Of course! My father is undisputedly the best!"
Lin Junjun then turned a pair of curious eyes toward the middle-aged man."Are you the Demonic Blood Kirin?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a solemn expression."I am no longer the Demonic Blood Kirin. I am now a man of culture. I have a name, it's Dongfang Zhuangshi."
"Pffft..." Lin Junjun almost burst into laughter before catching herself."Cough cough cough... The Heavenly Court is so cold, I think I've caught the flu."
"But that's quite a good name though, " Lin Junjun praised with a genuine expression.
"Thank you." The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan felt as if ten thousand mythological beasts were stampeding over their hearts!
They really were father and daughter! Their reactions were exactly the same!
Could they be a bit less shameless and a bit more honest?!
The Celestial Thearch soon made his way out from the Treasure Pavilion before tossing a storage ring to An Lin.
"There are fifteen million spirit stones in there. You can count it if you like."
An Lin accepted the storage ring, but he didn't tally the spirit stones inside. Instead, he blinked in confusion."Didn't you say there would be a minimum of ten million spirit stones for the second mission? Was there nothing added to that minimum reward?"
The Celestial Thearch cursed in his heart, but he maintained a smile on his face."That's right. The information is only worth that much as there wasn't really anything useful anyway."
Besides, he had reaped all the f*cking benefits while the Heavenly Court got nothing!
If it wasn't for the fact that An Lin and the others went through many life-threatening situations and encountered many perils to obtain the information, he didn't even want to give the ten million spirit stones...
An Lin handed the storage ring over to Xiao Ze."I'm going back to the university. Take these spirit stones with you to the Four Nine Immortal Sect."
This was a mission that the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect had accepted, so all the proceeds naturally had to go to the sect as well.
Xiao Ze accepted the storage ring with great enthusiasm.
He had already vowed in his heart that he would do all he could to make the sect a better place. Only then, would it be a place he deemed worthy of showing to Fanny!
In some circumstances, love could act as motivation for one's efforts.
An Lin was quite happy to see this. After all, he was the one who had brought this couple together, and he derived a strong sense of accomplishment from it!
An Lin bade farewell to the Celestial Thearch and Lin Junjun before returning to the university.
Xiao Ze and Ao Niu headed for the Four Nine Immortal Sect to build their beautiful sect together.
Dongfang Zhuangshi couldn't leave An Lin's side, so he took Gluttony and the groundhog to the university too. In reality, he was more than powerful enough to be able to separate himself from An Lin for a while without suffering repercussions.
However, staying by An Lin's side would be helpful to him in reconstructing his mythological beast body.
On a bright and sunny afternoon.
Within the fourth-year dorm buildings of The United University of Cultivation.
Xiao Hong sat on the windowsill with her petals spread wide open while singing in a pleasant voice.
The sun shone down upon her before being converted into pure energy, which helped her cultivation base progress slowly but surely.
Within the beast pet team, she was the second one to reach the Soul Formation Stage after Xiao Chou.
Da Bai had progressed to the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage, but he was still at the very bottom of the back.
Their fourth brother had been eaten before birth, so he couldn't compete against him.
Their fifth sister was already at the Return to Void Stage, and their sixth brother was also about to progress to the Return to Void Stage soon. The seventh sister or seventh brother within the phoenix egg was already more powerful than him before it had even been born...
Da Bai was in despair!
He lay on the windowsill while staring at Xiao Hong with his big, round eyes. Xiao Hong only had to sing and sunbathe for her cultivation base to progress. He was jealous beyond belief.
"Da Bai, don't you need to cultivate today?" Specks of golden light fluttered from Tina's wings as she flew beside Da Bai with a dainty smile.
"I'm not cultivating anymore! I feel like no matter how hard I try, I still can't catch up to Xiao Hong, who does nothing all day. This is too much of a blow to my heart, woof!"
Da Bai was quite depressed."I'm still the weakest member of the entire beast pet team. I heard Big Brother An is coming back. Hopefully, he would bring back a few underlings from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool that are weaker than me so that I can recover some confidence..."
Tina tilted her head to the side as her emerald eyes shimmered in the sunlight.
She opened her mouth, but she stopped herself before she could say anything.
Silly Da Bai, would Giant An Lin accept underlings of lower cultivation bases than you?
A short while later, the door to the dorm room opened.
"I'm back!" An Lin yelled.
Expressions of elation appeared on Tina and Da Bai's faces, and they charged toward the door to greet their owner.
"Welcome home, Giant An Lin!" Tina spoke with a joyful expression.
"Big Brother An, did you reap any rewards from your trip to the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool? Woof!" Da Bai's expression was filled with excitement.
"I have indeed. There is a new member of the beast pet team now!" An Lin replied with a mysterious expression.
Da Bai's body trembled as his mouth gaped open.
Dear God! Happiness had struck way too abruptly! Was his dream about to come true?
Was there finally going to be an underling that would elevate him from the bottom of the beast pet team?!
"Who is it, Big Brother An?" Da Bai asked with glowing eyes.
An Lin waved a hand."Little Gu, come on out!"
Immediately afterward, a glittering and translucent little white bug that was as beautiful as an artistic masterpiece appeared before Da Bai.
A bug?
A smile appeared on Da Bai's face."You're Little Gu, right? I'm Da Bai, you can call me Big Brother Bai. Don't worry, Big Brother Bai has got your back from now on!"
The little white bug nodded before replying in an extremely pleasant voice, "Hello, Big Brother Bai!"
Da Bai nodded with satisfaction."Little Gu, what cultivation base are you at? Big Brother Bai is already a Half-Step Soul Formation Stage spirit beast, so I'm only one step away from becoming a soul beast! Woof!"
The little white bug replied in an adorable voice, "Wow, Big Brother Bai is so cool! I'm a Return to Void Initial Stage immortal beast."
Boom!
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug's voice was like a clap of thunder that exploded in Da Bai's head.
Da Bai's body swayed from the shock."Little Gu, wh-what did you say? Your cultivation base..."
"Hmm... To be more precise, I'm at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage..."
The Jade Bone Immortal Bug reiterated with a slightly sheepish expression.
Boom!
Another clap of thunder.
Da Bai's body swayed even more unsteadily as a miserable smile appeared on his face.
Immortal Beast? Hehe... Did he just flex to an immortal beast?
Thump!
Da Bai fell to the ground with a suicidal expression.
"Big Brother Bai, are you alright?" the little white bug asked with concern.
"Hehe, I'm such a useless dog... Woof..."
Da Bai closed his eyes with a lingering wry smile.
Tina: "..."
An Lin: "..."
