An Lin and Yi Xi both absorbed the energy contained within the golden crystals.
Then, an extremely peculiar spatial energy fused into their bodies.
"The energy within your bodies can last for one year. After a year, it'll self-detonate and reopen the passageway between the two continents. After experiencing the ensuing summoning force, you two will be able to return!
"In other words, you two only have a year to find and obtain the fragment of the Heavenly Dao. The fragment of the Heavenly Dao doesn't belong to the Divine Source Continent. Rather, it's the core of the Tai Chu Continent. So, please be sure to bring it back! We've already failed eight times. Perhaps this is our last chance..."
The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue's words reverberated in their minds.
An Lin understood what the eight failures represented.
Eight entire teams that were hand-picked by the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue and Nuwa all failed! It was glaringly evident just how difficult this mission was! This time, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue had chosen to send his favorite disciple as well as An Lin, a strange yet powerful cultivator. He was clearly making one last gamble.
"Wait for my return."
An Lin entered the passageway without hesitation after saying this.
The space warped and distorted, and the backlash from the powers of the two continents tore at his body. However, these raging energies were all blocked out by the golden crystal energy within his body.
After what felt like an eternity.
The empty white space before him gradually started to clear up.
An Lin could feel gravity, and he could also feel the rich flow of vital energy. Moreover, he could finally see his surroundings clearly.
The location that he had landed in was a white lake. Right now, he was standing in the center of this lake.
The lake water was pure white and spotless.
Surrounding it was luscious green mountains and picturesque sceneries. This place was like a hidden paradise.
However, Yi Xi's figure had already disappeared. It seemed as though their landing locations were random. Yi Xi had most likely landed in some other place on this continent.
A fit of silvery giggles traveled into his ears.
An Lin turned his gaze toward the source of the sound. There were several pretty females there, and they were currently giggling and fooling around in the lake. They seemed to be one with the lake as the pure white lake water lapped onto their pale and delicate skin. Their raven-black hair was draped over their slender shoulders, perfectly outlining their attractive curves.
That's right, everything here was breathtakingly beautiful.
An Lin nodded and gave this world a high score.
Immediately afterward, the silvery giggles suddenly died down.
An Lin found that the pretty females were all looking at him with stunned expressions. Their beautiful eyes were wide with surprise as if they had seen something astounding.
"Ah!" a high-pitched shriek cut through the air.
"You actually dare to peep on us bathing?!"
"Pervert cultivator!"
"Slay him!"
The females' furious shrieks almost caused his eardrums to burst.
An Lin finally came to his senses at this moment; he finally realized what he was doing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several powerful flying swords sliced through the air toward An Lin.
An Lin gestured toward the void, and all the flying swords halted as if they had struck some invisible barrier. Their momentum was stopped, and they froze in mid-air.
"Ladies, I don't have any ill intentions. I merely arrived here by accident. My sincerest apologies..."
The colors drained from the bathing females' faces when they saw this.
"Spatial power? He's an exalted immortal of the Return to Void Stage?"
"Hurry, notify the Valley Lord!"
The females immediately started trying to contact their boss. It was as though they didn't hear An Lin's apology.
An Lin didn't dare stick around any longer. He immediately flew into the air and started fleeing toward the distance!
The bathing females were slightly stunned as they gazed at An Lin's disappearing figure.
"This... That senior left just like that?" a female asked in astonishment.
"And we were still planning to have our Valley Lord invite him to our sect for tea... Why did he suddenly leave?" There was a look of disappointment on another female's face.
"P-Perhaps he doesn't like us, " a female said insecurely. She even sighed and clutched at her small breasts as she said this.
"I think our initial disrespect might've angered that senior."
"That might be true. That senior is a supreme being who can have as many concubines as he desires. However, we angrily scolded and cursed him when he first appeared..."
Just as the females were kicking themselves in regret.
An Lin heaved a sigh of relief in the distant sky.
"Such a close call... I've finally managed to escape that place." An Lin humphed.
"Why did the realm teleportation send me to such a place? I give it a sh*t score!"
An Lin blushed slightly as he involuntarily thought back to the breathtaking scenery of the bathing females.
"Whatever. I'll find someplace to settle down first. I still need to gather information on this continent."
He nodded to himself as he flew through the boundless sky on a black-colored brick.
...
The Divine Source Continent appeared much like the Tai Chu Continent. The terrains and plants in this continent were largely similar to what could be seen in the Tai Chu Continent. However, it was worth mentioning that the vital energy here was even richer than the vital energy in the Tai Chu Continent. This was especially intriguing.
One had to realize that the Tai Chu Continent was the Primary World, while the Divine Source Continent was merely a Great World that existed within the Tai Chu Continent. However, the concentration of vital energy in this continent was even higher than in the Tai Chu Continent. What did this mean? This meant that the beings in this continent had a better cultivation environment than the beings in the Tai Chu Continent!
An underling was enjoying a better condition than its boss... This didn't make any sense!
"Is this due to the fragment of the Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue did mention that the fragment of the Heavenly Dao would increase the level of this world..."
An Lin carefully scrutinized his surroundings as he flew through the Divine Source Continent.
A short while later, a city appeared in his sights.
This city was quite large, and it also appeared to be quite prosperous. It looked like there were millions of residents in this city. Furthermore, the predominant materials for the buildings here were bricks, tiles, or redwood.
An Lin descended into a relatively bustling region of the city.
The people on the ground yelped in surprise when they saw An Lin descend from the sky.
Then, a scene that astounded An Lin played out.
To his shock and surprise, everyone on the street kneeled down and kowtowed toward him.
"May you protect us, Immortal..."
"Welcome to our city, Immortal. Please accept my salute..."
"I beseech your graces, Immortal. May your bestowed fortunes fill the heavens."
Regardless of whether they were male or female, young or old, everyone on the streets kneeled down in unison.
An Lin was stupefied by this scene. What the hell is going on?
This kind of scenario has never occurred in the Tai Chu Continent before. Is this a local custom of the Divine Source Continent?
The mortals here all kneeled down and kowtowed upon seeing him, a cultivator. If this were the Tai Chu Continent, then these people would never need to get up again. After all, the streets at the Tai Chu Continent were filled with cultivators. As such, the mortals might as well stay in a kneeling position forever.
An Lin released his divine sense and immediately realized a problem.
There were cultivators present in the large crowd kneeling around him! In fact, the highest-ranked cultivator had already reached the Spirit Nurturing Stage! However, that cultivator was currently gazing at An Lin with a fervent expression. Upon seeing An Lin look over, he emotionally kowtowed several more times.
An Lin: "...
"There's no need to be so respectful, please get up!"
An Lin's voice traveled over the entire street.
"Many thanks, Immortal!"
"Immortal, your dao is vast and all-powerful."
Under the many shouts of gratitude and praise, the people on the street finally stood up.
After standing up, however, none of them showed any signs of wanting to leave. Rather, they gazed at An Lin eagerly, as if they were expecting something from him.
An Lin: "???"
