Sun Luoqiu’s eyes widened, and she subconsciously stood up straighter, making her voluptuous chest strain somewhat against her tight blouse. To her surprise, the woman sitting on the edge of the roof suddenly shot her a sulky and jealous glance.
A series of figures began to emerge from the formation.
Sun Luoqiu looked down at a special watch on her wrist.
This watch was a combat prowess aura detection device with an extremely sensitive vital core that could gauge the energy fluctuations one was emitting with unerring accuracy.
At this moment, the number on her watch was climbing rapidly.
A hundred, a thousand, ten thousand…
This had already transcended beyond Soul Formation Stage energy fluctuations!
A hundred thousand!
Sun Luoqiu’s heart rate accelerated.
This was Return to Void Stage energy fluctuations.
A million… Several million…
The number value was still quickly climbing and soon went beyond the maximum detection capacity of the device.
Crack…
The watch suddenly cracked open and began to smoke.
The vital core was unable to handle energy fluctuations of this caliber and had exploded.
Sun Luoqiu was given a huge fright.
The combat prowess was off the charts?!
This was the first time she had encountered a situation like this.
Her entire body began to tremble involuntarily. How long had it been since she last felt this? The mixture of excitement and adrenaline from meeting a powerful being was surging in her heart.
“Ahaha… I haven’t been to the mortal world for a long time. The vital energy seems to be abundant now, and it has become more suitable for cultivating,” a clear voice sounded.
Sun Luoqiu was instantly rooted to the spot upon seeing who it was.
This was a man with golden rings around his arms and golden, flaming wheels beneath his feet.
Sun Luoqiu instantly recognized who this was.
This was the top-rate celestial immortal of the Heavenly Court, Ne Zha, who was at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage!
He was the most powerful being below the five Heavenly Court emperors.
No wonder so many important figures had gathered here, they were all here to welcome this god-like being.
Sun Luoqiu immediately made her way over to him with a respectful expression.
Chen Jingguo, Tian Lingling, and An Mingchuan also quickly approached the formation with smiles on their faces.
“Junior Sun Luoqiu pays her respects to Celestial Immortal Ne Zha!” Sun Luoqiu immediately bowed toward the handsome man who had just appeared.
“Fake Daoist Priest!”
“My son, I’ve missed you so much!”
“Welcome, Senior An Lin!”
The other three people completely ignored Ne Zha to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome toward a man riding atop a dog.
“Er…” Sun Luoqiu’s smile froze on her face.
What’s going? Why did they all go over there? Am I greeting the wrong person?
Sun Luoqiu suddenly felt very awkward…
“Hehehe… Hello there.” Ne Zha spoke with an elated smile, “I thought Brother An Lin was going to steal all of the attention from me during my first trip to Earth, but it looks like I’m still quite popular with the ladies after all…”
Sun Luoqiu muttered to herself, “An Lin… An Lin…”
The image of the dog-riding man began to overlap with an image in her mind.
“Ah! You mean he’s the man who was born in our Hua Nation and possesses the title of the Heavenly Court War God as well as combat prowess comparable to the five Heavenly Court emperors, An Lin?!” Sun Luoqiu screamed and immediately gave Ne Zha the cold shoulder as she rushed toward An Lin with flushed cheeks and a scorching light in her eyes.
Ne Zha: “…”
One couldn’t blame Sun Luoqiu for having such a vehement reaction. All those on Earth who knew about the Heavenly Court had heard about the legend of An Lin, who had come from the Hua Nation before climbing all the way to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Court.
An Lin was just conversing joyfully with his father when a woman who appeared to be another retarded superfan of his popped up all of a sudden and stared at him with scorching eyes. He was slightly taken aback by this, but he still extended a friendly greeting. “Hi.”
“Ahh! An Lin spoke to me!” Sun Luoqiu’s blush deepened, and her eyes practically glowed as she stared at An Lin.
An Lin: “…”
Tian Lingling: “…”
“Er… My subordinate here has heard a lot of great things about you, and her emotions are getting the better of her. Please don’t pay her any heed,” Chen Jingguo spoke with an awkward expression.
He was regretting his decision to give Sun Luoqiu the job of welcoming these immortal ambassadors now.
Never would he have thought that Sun Luoqiu would worship An Lin to such an extent.
“Dad, you look like you’ve been doing quite well these past hundred years!” An Lin was greatly elated by the sight of the healthy and vibrant middle-aged man standing before him.
“I’m doing alright. I only managed to create the number one sect in the Hua Nation, and that was achieved only as I had a massive amount of resources at my disposal. I really have nothing going for me aside from the fact that I’m rich.” An Mingchuan stroked his immortal armor and sighed as he twirled his Sea Splitting Heavenly Dragon Sword, which was a pinnacle immortal sword.
“Is that the case? Well, that’s awkward.” An Lin’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. “I didn’t really bring anything this time aside from resources. I have a massive bunch of spirit-rank and immortal-rank materials that I don’t know where to offload to. Looks like I won’t be able to help you much, Dad…”
Tian Lingling: “…”
Chen Jingguo: “…”
They couldn’t even tell if this father and son duo were serious or just flexing.
“So cool!” Sun Luoqiu was completely intoxicated.
“By the way, where is my daughter-in-law, Xiaolan? Why didn’t she come back with you?” An Mingchuan took a glance at Da Bai before looking around with a disappointed expression.
He discovered that this dog had appeared before him alongside his son more so than Xiaolan did.
“The formation has been fortified by Nuwa, and Xiaolan can’t come here anymore as she’s at the Dao Integration Stage,” An Lin explained.
“That’s a real shame. Make sure to be good to her. She has looked after me very diligently during the time that you were gone.” An Mingchuan gestured toward his sword and armor and said, “These were all given to me by her!”
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this. Xiaolan had not mentioned this to him.
Xu Xiaolan wasn’t as filthy rich as he was, and all of this immortal-rank equipment was probably worth at least tens of millions of spirit stones, which was quite possibly the majority of Xu Xiaolan’s wealth at that time.
An Lin was very touched by this gesture.
When everyone thought that he was already dead, Xiaolan didn’t give up on him, nor did she give up on his family. On the contrary, she was even willing to spend tens of millions of spirit stones on his father…
Where else would anyone be able to find such a good wife?
“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll be sure to treat Xiaolan well,” An Lin promised.
“Fake Daoist Priest, I heard you went to cultivate with Nuwa for a hundred years.” Tian Lingling spoke with curious eyes, “What does Her Majesty Nuwa look like? Is she beautiful? Do you have photos?”
Only then did An Lin recall that Xu Xiaolan’s excuse for his prolonged absence during this period of time was that he was cultivating with Nuwa and was unable to return to Earth as a result.
Everyone stirred upon hearing the name “Nuwa”, and they all turned to An Lin with a keen interest in their eyes, awaiting his response.
They knew the insider information, and as such, they knew that Earth was also referred to as the Wa Realm as it was a world created by Nuwa. In other words, Nuwa was the paramount goddess of Earth. She was the most powerful, mysterious, and unfathomable being.
“Of course Her Majesty Nuwa is beautiful. She is the most beautiful being I have ever seen. As for photos, I obviously don’t have any as I don’t own her portraiture rights,” An Lin responded after thinking about the question for a moment.
“By the way, I’ve come back this time to visit some family and friends, but also to see if I can fix the cracks in the formation around this world,” An Lin said as he tried to change the subject.
Chen Jingguo was already prepared and immediately presented a map upon hearing this. This map had detailed annotations of where the cracks were located.
