An Mingchuan’s sword fell, and Ye Dong was completely unable to evade.
Splat!
Blood sprayed through the air from a massive wound, and he fell to the ground with tears of indignation flowing from his eyes.
“I hereby announce that the champion of the thirty-sixth North Mist Mountain Cultivation Rookie Tournament is… An Mingchuan!” the main judge announced this result.
Cheers erupted across the entire dao plaza, and the atmosphere was lifted significantly by this announcement.
An Mingchuan possessed a set of top-tier spirit tools, which made even the Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful beings envious. He only had to stand there, and the dazzling light emanating from his spirit tools was enough to blind everyone.
This was the dazzling light of a tycoon!
Ye Dong looked at his own pitiful equipment, and tears of grief flowed from his eyes.
An Mingchuan had won this championship because of his son!
In a few years of cultivation, his son had sent countless valuable pills and spirit tools to him, thereby allowing his cultivation base to soar at a scarcely believable rate and elevating him from a cultivating noob to one of the top dogs here. He was the epitome of just how terrifying a tycoon cultivator could be.
Just as everyone was celebrating the birth of a new champion…
An inky-black crack suddenly appeared on the dao plaza.
“What… What is that?” Some of the cultivators trembled in fear as they looked up at the inky-black crack in the sky.
“Get back, everyone! This is a spatial power! A Return to Void Stage mighty figure is about to make an appearance!”
A knowledgeable and experienced Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator let loose a cry of surprise.
“Return to Void Stage? That rank above Soul Formation Stage mighty figures?”
“My God! Why would such a powerful mighty figure appear here?”
“Run!”
All of the cultivators present were shocked beyond belief, and some of them were even fleeing the scene.
On Earth, Soul Formation Stage cultivators were already at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Return to Void Stage mighty figures only existed in legends. There would occasionally be a Return to Void Stage mighty figure, who was sent by the Heavenly Court, but those instances were extremely rare.
A powerful aura descended as a mighty figure on a huge white dog emerged, appearing extremely gallant and imposing.
“Little Lin?” An Mingchuan let loose a yell of excitement upon seeing who it was.
All of the fleeing cultivators faltered, and all of the other panicking cultivators also stared blankly at the scene before them.
“Mr. An Lin!”
An Mingchuan’s master, Cui Zhe, also let loose a cry of surprise at the sight of the man before him.
“Long time no see, Dad.”
An Lin disembarked from Da Bai before making his way toward An Mingchuan and giving him a big hug!
At this moment, all of the cultivators present came to their senses. The man before them was An Mingchuan’s son, the freakish prodigy from the Heavenly Court!
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me? An Lin used spatial power?”
“Wasn’t he at the Spirit Nurturing Stage last time I saw him? It has only been a short time since then, but why can I no longer identify his cultivation base?”
“Could he already be at the Return to Void Stage?”
“Hehe, are you watching a sci-fi film? It has only been two years! How is he going to progress from the Spirit Nurturing Stage to the Return to Void Stage in such a short period of time? Have you been mentally impaired by your fear?”
“Look! There is a gorgeous tiny human sitting on his shoulder!”
“Gaps… What life form is that?”
All of the cultivators crowded around An Lin and his two beast pets with curiosity and reverence.
“Uncle An, you’re much more bad*ss than before! As expected of Big Brother An’s father. Woof!” A sly, yet polite smile appeared on Da Bai’s face.
An Mingchuan chortled gleefully upon receiving this compliment.
He then also noticed the tiny human on An Lin’s shoulder, and his laughter was instantly stuck in his throat.
This tiny human was absolutely flawless!
“Little Lin, this is…” An Mingchuan looked at Tina.
“Hi there, Uncle An, my name is Tina, and I’m Giant An Lin’s beast pet.” An Lin didn’t even get a chance to reply before Tina replied in his stead with a sweet smile.
An Lin nodded. “Little Na is a fairy mighty figure. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s small! She is a Return to Void Stage mighty figure!”
“Great!” An Mingchuan nodded in elation at the sight of the obedient, adorable fairy. “Little Na, my son will definitely lead you toward greater things in life!”
Each of the cultivators drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.
So An Lin hadn’t broken through to Return to Void Stage, but he had a Return to Void Stage beast pet instead… Th-this was even more f*cking terrifying!
We know your son is exceptional, but what the hell is this?!
Ye Dong, who was nursing his injuries off the side, finally heaved a resigned sigh upon seeing this. You really can do whatever you want if your son is bad*ss enough.
“Fake Daoist Priest! Long time no see!”
A crisp voice sounded nearby.
An Lin had only just turned when a young woman in a purple dress crashed into his chest.
“Oi! Fake loli, you haven’t grown any taller, but you sure can tackle!” An Lin was almost toppled over by Tian Lingling’s unexpected tackle. He patted her back with a perplexed expression as he asked, “Why are you so enthusiastic toward me? Do you have some sort of ulterior motive?”
The young woman locked him in a warm embrace before looking up at him with a sly smile. “Fake Daoist Priest, I successfully progressed to the Spirit Nurturing Stage, but I don’t have a suitable spirit tool to use yet…”
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face, and he turned her down in a euphemistic manner. “Piss off!”
Tian Lingling faltered slightly before looking up at him with an aggrieved expression. “You don’t love me anymore…”
“Tian Lingling! Has your moral principle been eaten by Da Bai?” An Lin’s expression darkened.
He had given this fake loli a spirit tool last time, and now she was asking for another one? Did she think he was a human piggy bank?
An Mingchuan immediately came forward to mediate the conflict. “Alright, alright, we’re all part of the same family here. Let’s talk and drink tea like civilized people.”
“Part of the same family?” An Lin’s eyes widened.
“Part of the same family?” Tian Lingling glared at An Mingchuan in rage and embarrassment.
An Mingchuan coughed lightly before changing the topic. “Er, why didn’t the beautiful Celestial Maiden Xiaolan come to Earth with you?”
A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “She’s cooking to earn money for me.”
An Mingchuan was shocked. “You, how could you make Xu Xiaolan do something like that? How are you going to get a girlfriend like this? Don’t you know you have to be thoughtful and warm her heart? If you keep this up, you’re never going to be able to pursue Xu Xiaolan!”
An Lin chuckled. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Xu Xiaolan and I are already dao partners-to-be, so she should be your daughter-in-law, barring any unforeseen circumstances.”
Boom!
An Mingchuan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning upon hearing this.
An Mingchuan: “…”
Was this reality? An Mingchuan wanted to viciously pinch himself to find out!
“Is Celestial Maiden Xu Xiaolan blind? Why did she choose someone like you?” An Mingchuan felt incredulous.
He had thought that a flawless Celestial Maiden like Xu Xiaolan would take at least a hundred years to pursue, but An Lin managed to capture her heart in less than two years? Unbelievable!
An Lin’s expression darkened. “Oi! Are you my real father? How could you talk about your own son like that?”
“Come come come, tell me how you managed to pursue Xiaolan!” An Mingchuan dragged An Lin toward the tea pavilion with excitement on his face.
