An Lin instantly had the motivation to cultivate again.
Future challenges were only going to be more steep and demanding, so he had to find a chance to raise his cultivation base!
As for the hundred-year agreement? An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had already discussed it when they first reunited.
Xu Xiaolan told An Lin that she was ready to make good on the agreement at any time and that it would be up to him in the end.
An Lin decided that they would get married after taking care of the Heavenly Human Tribe.
He didn’t want to hold a wedding only for a bunch of Heavenly Gods to come and crash it.
If he was going to hold a wedding, then he wanted it to be a safe, smooth, and happy one!
This was going to be one of the most beautiful memories of his life, and he refused to have it spoiled by anything.
Hence, his top priority now was to become more powerful so that he could destroy the Heavenly Human Tribe and the Heavenly Gods before coming back to marry Xiaolan!
An Lin was full of enthusiasm and vigor after setting himself a target.
He turned toward the cultivation base tab on his system.
[Return to Void Intermediate Stage, mission condition: Beat nine Dao Integration Stage living beings into submission.
[Mission progress: 6/9. The living beings that have been beaten into submission are Feng Wuya, Emperor Yi Deng, Emperor An Mang, Empress Helen, Emperor Bei Xing, and the God Engulfing Skeleton.]
An Lin was elated. This was a mission he had thought would be impossible to complete, but he had already completed over half of it. All he had to do now was to beat three more Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures into submission, and he would be able to progress to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage!
The only thing he was a bit surprised about was that the God Engulfing Skeleton had been beaten into submission by him.
The God Engulfing Skeleton was at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, so he shouldn’t have been able to defeat it no matter what buffs he used.
Even though An Lin could defeat some Heavenly Gods, it did not necessarily mean that he would be able to defeat the God Engulfing Skeleton. The reason why An Lin was able to defeat the Heavenly Gods was that his own powers of the Heavenly Gods in conjunction with his special constitution and his divine tool, Evil-Slaying Sword, gave him an advantage over them…
Only with all of these special hacks was he able to defeat the Heavenly Gods, and he still almost died countless times during those battles.
In reality, his cultivation base was too low, and the powers of the Heavenly Gods that he wielded were actually weaker than normal Heavenly Gods.
Hence, if he really faced the God Engulfing Skeleton in a one on one battle, he might not even be able to defeat it, let alone beat it into submission.
However, the system had determined that he had beaten it into submission. Could it be that his mixed doubles partnership with Xu Xiaolan in conjunction with Black Spirit Snake’s help also counted when beating enemies into submission?
He had no problem with that whatsoever!
An Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up as a thought occurred to him.
He turned toward his two disciples with a benevolent smile.
“Little Xiao, Xiao Tu…” An Lin smiled.
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu shuddered as they looked back at An Lin with uncertainty.
Xiao Ze: “What is it, Master?”
Xiao Tu: “What?”
“You two have only progressed to the Dao Integration Stage not long ago, right? Who is better in a fight between you two?” An Lin asked.
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu looked at each other before shaking their heads in unison.
“I don’t know. I’ve never sparred with Brother Xiao Tu.” Xiao Ze shrugged.
“Xiao Ze and I are actually both endurance fighters. His defenses are invincible, and I have countless lives, so we’re both very difficult opponents to face even among Dao Integration Stage. We could probably fight for three days and three nights without a decisive result…” Xiao Tu analyzed.
Xiao Ze chimed in, “We probably wouldn’t even be able to figure out who is stronger even after fighting for an entire year.”
An Lin: “…”
“An Lin, why are you asking a question like that?” Xu Xiaolan asked.
“I want to see which one of them is weaker so that we can join forces and beat the weaker one among them into submission…” An Lin came clean.
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu: “…”
There were Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in his sect, so he couldn’t let this valuable resource go to waste!
Seeing as teaming up to beat people into submission was accepted, why would An Lin waste this opportunity?
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu finally understood why they would be so unsettled by An Lin’s benevolent smile. He was a f*cking nutjob!
“I think I’m more powerful!” Xiao Tu immediately proclaimed.
“No, I’m clearly more powerful!” Xiao Ze retorted in a cold voice.
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
“An Lin, they’ve been guarding the Kingdom of the Nine States for the past few years and have only just had a chance to come back and rest. How about you let them rest and recuperate?” Xu Xiaolan was feeling a little sympathetic toward them.
“Master’s wife is the best!” Xiao Tu was very grateful.
“Long live, Celestial Maiden Xiaolan!” Xiao Ze yelled with excitement.
An Lin felt like she was right, so he gave up on that plan.
His disciples had been fighting in an arduous war for so long, and they were finally home only to get bashed by their master and his wife? What a tragic life!
An Lin couldn’t bear to do that!
“You’re right, Xiaolan.” An Lin turned to Xu Xiaolan with passionate eyes.
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu seemed to have attained enlightenment at that moment.
If they wanted to live a good life, they had to suck up to their master’s wife!
An Lin knew how sh*tty his system was. If he wanted to beat a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure into submission according to the system’s standards, he would at least have to severely wound them to the brink of death. Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu were out of the equation. If Little Huang were to suffer something like this, it would probably run away forever.
As for Xiaolan…
He couldn’t even bear to raise a fist at her, let alone beat her into submission!
Thus, he decided to set aside his sinister plan for now.
An Lin had to think of some other way.
He took a deep breath. “Xiaolan, I have a plan that I might need your help with…”
“Sure,” Xu Xiaolan agreed.
An Lin faltered momentarily. “I haven’t even told you what my plan is.”
“I’m willing to help you, regardless of what your plan is.” Xu Xiaolan smiled.
An Lin’s heart jolted, and a sense of warmth flowed through his entire body.
As for Xiao Ze and the others, all of them burst into a commotion again.
Even though all of them already had dao partners, they still felt quite envious toward their relationship.
Xiao Tu didn’t really think much of this. After all, he had been single for hundreds of thousands of years and had lost interest in female dragons and relationships a long time ago.
“Xiaolan, can you tell me which Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures among our enemy powers are on the weaker side of the spectrum? We can go beat them into submission,” An Lin asked.
“Beating Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures into submission? What kind of new fetish is this?” Xu Xiaolan was shocked.
“I have a mission to grow stronger, which requires me to beat Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures into submission!” An Lin replied.
Xu Xiaolan came to a sudden realization. She finally knew what An Lin was trying to do earlier.
Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu were completely dumbstruck. Beating Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures could help one grow stronger?
“Alright, I’ll gather some information for you!” Xu Xiaolan nodded with a serious expression.
She knew that An Lin was trying to take advantage of this brief lull in the war to become more powerful. As for this mission condition he was proposing, others might not believe it, but she definitely did.
This was a man who could make breakthroughs from eating Beast Cores and divine pills, so why couldn’t he grow stronger from beating up Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures?
