Xu Xiaolan was a little stunned.
Was he really going to join both sects at the same time?
Furthermore, he had only just joined the Heaven Mending Sect. Was he really going to join the Heaven Crushing Sect so soon? Was that really ok?
Wouldn’t Nuwa explode with rage if she heard about this?
An Lin seemed to be aware of what Xu Xiaolan was thinking. “It’s alright. I’m going to do this sooner or later anyway, so I might as well get it over with!”
Xu Xiaolan didn’t know what to say. She could only nod in agreement. “Alright, then let’s go to the Heaven Crushing Sect!”
In the northeastern region of the Tai Chu Continent.
There was a vast wasteland that had been bleak and desolate for over ten thousand years.
However, there were green grass and vibrant flowers emerging from this land.
This was part of the effects of the mending of the heavens.
However, at the same time, there were howling winds that tore through the air like blades.
The sinister heaven crushing aura was also spreading.
At the center of the Purple Star ruins was a pristine, white holy land of light. It was like a jewel that would never lose its luster, and it was emanating a light that was more dazzling than ever.
This was the main base of the Heaven Crushing Sect, the Land of Eternal Light.
At this moment, the Land of Eternal Light was in a state of uproar.
“Shocking news!”
“Sect Leader An Lin is going to join the Heaven Crushing Sect!”
“What? Really?!”
“Of course it’s real! Furthermore, he will be the third heavenly disciple!”
“That makes sense. Who else has the right to become the third heavenly disciple aside from God An?”
“This is fantastic! This is the best news we’ve gotten since we’ve initiated our heaven crushing project!”
The Heaven Crushing Sect powerful beings were excited beyond belief.
An Lin was simply far too prestigious a figure in the hearts of all of the Heaven Crushing Sect powerful beings. In fact, his reputation even outweighed that of Chen Chen and Cyril. His inclusion into the sect provided a guiding force for everyone to follow!
Just as all of the members were whooping with joy and clambering to meet An Lin, Xue Yan flew over toward them. She made everyone swear vows of confidentiality in order to keep An Lin’s decision a secret.
These were quite drastic measures.
However, none of the members had any objections. All of them swore their vows with nothing but unbridled excitement.
They knew that confidentiality meant that they were going to do something in secret. Was Heavenly Disciple An Lin up to something again? How exciting!
At this moment, An Lin himself arrived at the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace of the Heaven Crushing Sect and surveyed the core heaven crushing formation.
Cyril, Chen Chen, and the Ancient Dragon Empress had all gathered to welcome An Lin. This was the highest level of hospitality. No one aside from An Lin had been welcomed by all three heavenly disciples at the same time.
An Lin wondered what their reactions would be if they knew that he was only here to steal information.
“This is the core of our heaven crushing formation. This is the Yin Yang Chaos Bead, which is the central hub of the formation…” Cyril explained with a smile.
“Ohhh… That’s so badass!” An Lin felt like his horizons had been broadened significantly as all of the secrets of the Heaven Crushing Sect were revealed to him.
Xu Xiaolan walked alongside An Lin, but none of the heavenly disciples objected to her presence. They were clearly regarding her as one of their own.
Only after joining the Heaven Crushing Sect did An Lin discover just how insane these people were.
They were a bunch of nutjobs!
In reality, saving the Tai Chu Continent wasn’t even their main objective. They had higher and more ambitious aspirations.
All heavenly disciples and heavenly disciple candidates had to possess the ambition of becoming the Heavenly Dao. If they didn’t, they weren’t good heavenly disciples.
This opinion was shared among Cyril, Chen Chen, and the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Of course, all of them had sworn vows to protect all living beings on the Tai Chu Continent and lead the continent toward a normal, peaceful direction. Furthermore, they wouldn’t interfere with this world unless a threat arose that could lead it toward destruction.
As for why they wanted to become the Heavenly Dao, all of them had different goals.
Cyril wanted to see what cultivation base lay beyond the God of Creation Stage.
Hence, to put it more accurately, he was doing this for his own dao.
The Ancient Dragon Empress simply wanted to survive and lead her tribe to prosperity.
Chen Chen’s thoughts were even simpler. All he wanted was to ensure the safety of the human race, and he had no selfish desires.
“An Lin, why do you want to become a heavenly disciple?” Chen Chen asked.
“Me?” An Lin blinked. “I want world peace.”
Chen Chen: “…”
“Can you be a bit more realistic?” Cyril chuckled with amusement.
“More realistic?” An Lin suddenly became excited. “After becoming the Heavenly Dao, I can do whatever I want! I could sample the best delicacies, go to the most fun places, and enjoy the most beautiful women!”
Chen Chen: “…”
Cyril was astonished. “Isn’t that a bit too realistic?”
An Lin was then viciously pinched by Xu Xiaolan.
“Don’t get carried away,” Xu Xiaolan cautioned with a fake smile.
An Lin nodded obediently.
After that, An Lin surveyed the Heaven Crushing Sect’s strategic weapons.
These weapons could be summarized using three words.
Badass!
Insane!
Invincible!
The Heaven Crushing Sect suited An Lin’s tastes quite well. To him, they presented a very attractive alternative; an alternative to having to give up his life.
Mending of the heavens sounded great, but if he wasn’t careful, he could quite possibly die in the process.
However, crushing the heavens was different. This process involved destroying the Heavenly Dao before replacing it. This eliminated the necessity of An Lin having to sacrifice himself.
An Lin was starting to understand why Cyril had said that he was the one with the greatest chance of being able to crush the heavens.
Darkness embodied termination.
Using the power of darkness to terminate the Heavenly Dao was the equivalent of using the Heavenly Dao to kill the Heavenly Dao!
Furthermore, reconstruction of the Heavenly Dao would be best executed by the Heavenly Dao.
No matter how one looked at it, An Lin had the best chance of crushing the heavens and had more right than anyone to become the new heavens. Of course, this was all based on the assumption that An Lin really was the Heavenly Darkness God…
…
“From now on, An Lin is the third heavenly disciple of our Heaven Crushing Sect. He will fight alongside us and strive to create a new future!” Cyril announced to the several hundred Heaven Crushing Sect members gathered.
A sea of raucous cheers erupted.
The three heavenly disciple candidates, the Battling Buddha, Yun Mengying, and Michael, were all applauding enthusiastically. They were clearly quite reverent toward their new heavenly disciple.
An Lin stood upon the stage in his white robe and bowed respectfully. “From now on, we are all comrades.”
“The Divine Phoenix Maiden, Xu Xiaolan, will be the Heavenly Disciple Attendant to the third heavenly disciple,” Cyril continued.
Xu Xiaolan stood up with her mask on her face.
Another burst of cheers rang out.
Yun Mengying pouted with disappointment. “I just applied to become An Lin’s Heavenly Disciple Attendant to try and get closer to him, but Xu Xiaolan has taken that spot… Sigh, how am I ever going to find a dao partner now…”
If someone else had assumed the role of An Lin’s Heavenly Disciple Attendant, she would be inclined to compete with them. However, she couldn’t muster up the courage to compete with Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan possessed God of Creation Stage power! How was she supposed to compete? This was not someone she could mess with!
