Chapter 1358: Relax Before Returning
"I think relying on the power of the Gu Family and Kong Family this time is a bit unreliable."
"I feel the same. The cultivators here on Earth have too low a strength. It’s normal to not sense the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins."
"If possible, I think we should personally go search. That way, there’s a bit more assurance."
"I agree with this idea. According to what Gu Nantian and Kong Lifeng just said, the Secular World is already in chaos. Spiritual Energy is exploding everywhere, causing too much interference. Only we can roughly determine the location."
...
Other attendees also expressed their thoughts at this moment. In their view, the Secular World had already become chaotic. The lowly strength of the Gu Family and Kong Family would probably miss the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins even if found. The safest method was for them to take action personally.
Su Zhong nodded as he listened to everyone. Actually, he was thinking the same, but he hadn’t voiced it. Since everyone said so, he might as well follow their idea.
"It’s good that you all think this way. I also agree that handling the matter thus is appropriate, but the problem is who will go?" Su Zhong said calmly as he looked at everyone. He had a reason for saying this. The four from the Myriad Saints Sect would not do such tasks, leaving Kong Lian, Kong Ji, Gu Long, and Gu Ri. The hint was clear; they awaited those four to express their stance.
"I’ll go!" Kong Ji stood up then. Among everyone here, he was the youngest generation member. If not him, then who would do such a running errand?
"I’ll go too." Seeing Kong Ji step up, Gu Ri also said from one side. Although he didn’t want to go, the pressure from the Myriad Saints Sect was too great. He feared missing out entirely on the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins.
"Alright then, you two go. Once you find the general location, notify us immediately. On receiving the message, we’ll rush over." Seeing Kong Ji and Gu Ri take on the troublesome task voluntarily, Su Zhong’s expression softened significantly. He thought these two were sensible; thus, there was no need to make things difficult for them anymore.
Kong Ji and Gu Ri exchanged a look and instantly left the Council Hall. However, as soon as they stepped out, they were utterly depressed, sighing to each other. Originally, both were geniuses of the Sect, but if not for the intervention of Myriad Saints Sect, how could they end up in such suffocating circumstances? Yet, no matter how frustrated they were now, they had to endure it for the task of investigating the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins...
...
After Lin Feng led everyone out of the Hidden World, they began heading toward Tianhai. Although they could take a plane, Lin Feng thought walking was better. This way, they could also slay some evil Demon Beasts or Evil Cultivators along the way. The children, Xia Lalan, Xia Chupeng, and Song Liao had no objections, so everyone chose not to use any transportation.
Indeed, along the way, they encountered quite a few Demon Beasts and several Evil Cultivators threatening the area. Without needing Lin Feng to act, the children killed them all and saved many people, making the children extremely happy. Seeing this, Xia Lalan was also very pleased.
However, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao had a different perspective. In their world, ordinary people were insignificant like ants; nobody cared about their lives or deaths. They couldn’t understand why Lin Feng and the others treated ordinary people this way. These people had no use; if they died, so be it, so why save them?
Thus, as they traveled toward Tianhai, passing through several large cities, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao could not help but observe in amazement. They hadn’t expected Earth’s Mortal World to be like this, with skyscrapers and various transportation like cars and planes everywhere. This surprised them, finding it astonishing that the Secular World’s technology had developed to such a degree.
Yet, they weren’t particularly interested in these. In their world, there were also some technological products, albeit not as advanced as on Earth. But they were not far off and were primarily for basic living. For cultivators like them, technology held no significance, as strength was the sole standard in their world!
Their curiosity was mostly about Lin Feng. They really wanted to know how Lin Feng became such a formidable figure in the Secular World. After all, even in their world, it would be nearly impossible for someone Lin Feng’s age to possess such power, and on Earth, a place with scarce Spiritual Energy, even more so. But the impossible was happening right before their eyes, making them exceedingly curious about everything related to Lin Feng.
With nothing else to do, the two conversed with the children while traveling.
"Is your Teacher Lin really from the Secular World?"
"Of course!"
"I’m really curious how he could have such frightening strength. Are many people like your Teacher Lin here?"
"No way, he’s the only one!"
"Do you always train like this? How do you manage at such a young age?"
"It’s nothing. As long as you can persist, keep at it, you’ll get used to it."
...
They were trying to probe some information from the children’s mouths, but to their surprise, the children’s responses were practically non-answers, making them feel exasperated. They didn’t realize the children were always wary of the two, suspecting something seemed off the more they tried to find out about Lin Feng. As a result, the children simply humored them, not revealing anything about the main subject.
"Lin Feng, they’re probing about you." Xia Lalan and Lin Feng walked at the forefront. She vaguely discerned Xia Chupeng and Song Liao’s conversations with the children. Although not entirely clear, she caught the gist, prompting her to remind Lin Feng out of caution.
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about it." Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at Xia Lalan. He actually was aware of the two’s intentions long ago, but knowing would achieve nothing; these two would eventually return to their world.
Seeing Lin Feng so confident, Xia Lalan had nothing more to say. Having been with Lin Feng for some time, she had grown accustomed to his way of doing things. If Lin Feng said it wasn’t a concern, it meant he didn’t care about the two, leaving her with nothing to worry about.
At this time, Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan, suddenly grabbing her hand, startling her for a moment. Immediately, they picked up their pace, leaving Xia Lalan unsure what was happening. The kids behind, seeing Lin Feng suddenly speed up, immediately followed suit, along with Xia Chupeng and Song Liao.
In no time, the group arrived at a small seaside village. The village was being tormented by some Demon Beasts. Without a word, the children rushed in and killed the beasts, then helped the villagers repair their houses, fishing boats, and other facilities damaged by the beasts.
This scene was quite ordinary for Lin Feng and the others but meant something different to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao. They truly couldn’t grasp why Lin Feng cared about ordinary people as if they were ants.
Soon, the children finished their busy tasks and set off again...
...
The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly without a cloud in sight, a slightly cool sea breeze blew, carrying a faint sea scent, but it made people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"We’re almost there."
Xia Lalan looked at the distant Tianhai City, smiling as she spoke. That super city was visible even from a hundred miles away. A smile appeared on her face, as she had become accustomed to it; now, she even felt the Secular World was better than the Hidden World.
"Yes, we’re almost there." Lin Feng said lightly beside her, though a slight smile spread across his lips after speaking. Reflecting on his rushed travels between the Secular World and Hidden World during this time, he also felt somewhat speechless, unable to understand why his cheap master made him so busy; if he hadn’t gone to the Hidden World, all these complications wouldn’t have arisen.
"Wow, Tianhai!"
"We’re finally home!"
"That’s great, that’s great!"
...
The kids now could see the outline of Tianhai City and jumped with joy. Finally, they had arrived and could focus on cultivation. They now set Lin Feng as their ultimate goal, with each swearing to become a peerless strongman like Lin Feng!
Xia Chupeng and Song Liao hadn’t particularly cared at first. But following the children’s gaze, they saw the vast, indescribable city and those skyscrapers like a forest. They couldn’t remain unmoved. They didn’t expect the Secular World to have such a massive city, unimaginable even in their world. They were quietly amazed, realizing Earth’s Mortals might indeed have some capabilities to construct such a grand city.
Tianhai was right in front, so the children were all excited and, without waiting for Lin Feng’s words, rushed ahead eagerly. Lin Feng didn’t say anything, just smiled, watching them, understanding their thoughts. Similarly, Xia Lalan smiled watching them so happily.
The group proceeded toward Tianhai, but before they reached, as they passed a seaside resort, Lin Feng suddenly grew interested and paused.
"Lin Feng, what’s wrong?" Xia Lalan asked, feeling puzzled. Weren’t they about to reach Tianhai? Why stop now?
"Nothing, just realized it’s been a long time since we relaxed. Luckily, there’s a resort here. A short rest before returning won’t harm." Lin Feng said with a smile to Xia Lalan. All this time, he’d been busy with other matters, never taking a break. Now, he just wanted to relax before heading back.
"Alright." Xia Lalan felt a sudden warmth hearing him say that, her face revealing a happy smile. Spending so much time with Lin Feng, who was perpetually busy, with no time alone, now having such a good chance, how could she not feel happy?
Lin Feng nodded, grabbing Xia Lalan’s hand as they walked toward the resort, simultaneously using Divine Sense to summon the children back.
