“Please, elaborate!”
“Spill it out, Junjun. Don’t leave us hanging.”
Yang Jing and the others were all looking at Cultivator Junjun with bright, shiny, expectant eyes.
“It’s hard to explain it right now since it would involve the expert. Let’s return to the Fallen Immortal Mountain first,” said Cultivator Junjun.
‘Then, without delay, everyone embarked on the return journey. Along the way, no matter how much Yang Jing and the others pestered Cultivator Junjun for an answer, his lips remained sealed.
After arriving at the Fallen Immortal Mountains, Goddess Nuwa could not help but say solemnly, “Old Jun, you’re not going to ask the expert to take action, right? Of course, it’d be a cinch for him to take down the Mirage Dragon, but I must stop you if you plan to trouble him!”
“What are you talking about? Do you think I’m that stupid?” Cultivator Junjun rolled his eyes. He would not dare to do that even if he went insane. “Just wait and see.”
After a while, they came to the place where the wild game animals were. The Elite King and Su Chen were conscientiously picking dung. Their methods were varied and fanciful. It was as if they had made an art out of it, which impressed the Heavenly Palace people.
“Wow! The two of you really are really in harmony with Wisdom! I almost cried looking at how beautiful the two of you are when you’re working together to pick up dung! You guys must be close to having a breakthrough!” said Cultivator Junjun while clapping his hands. He was not being sarcastic and
meant every word he said.
The Elite King was not moved by his praise. Instead, he said, “What are you all doing here? This is the place where we pick dung. Can you handle the smell?”
He was still salty about what happened last time in front of the expert’s four-part architecture.
“Please, forgive us for not knowing a good thing even when it’s dangled in front of us. It was wrong for us to dismiss your kindness and we’re sorry about that!” said Cultivator Junjun earnestly.
Yang Jing’s expression changed slightly after realizing what Cultivator Junjun was doing. He immediately followed suit. “Yeah, the rags you two gave us the last time helped us a lot and saved our lives.”
“So, you came just to say apologize?” asked the Elite King with a smile.
“That, and to ask you for a favor,” answered Cultivator Junjun.
“Oh? Let’s hear it.”
“We want to…borrow some manure.”
“What?!” The Elite King and Su Chen were shocked at the same time and they shook their heads again and again.
“Impossible! All the manure belongs to the expert. Besides, it’s not like you can afford to borrow it! No, absolutely not!” The Elite King’s tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation. “I’m honored that the expert gave me such an important responsibility. I mustn’t make any mistakes. Leave, now!”
“Brother Elite King, we need it to complete a mission for the expert! Do you not remember what Cultivator Chicken ordered us to do? Only with the manure can we complete the task and alleviate the expert’s burden!” said Cultivator Junjun, panicking.
Xiao Chengfeng nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, Brother Su Chen. Please, help us persuade Brother Elite King. This is really important. We’re all working for the expert, and everyone has the same goal.”
Hearing this, the Elite King’s face softened a lot. He pondered for a moment. Then, he finally said, “Tell me about the situation in detail.”
“It’s like this. We plan to take down the Mirage Dragon…” Immediately, Cultivator Junjun told the Elite King about all that had happened in the Mirage as well as his plan on taking down the Mirage Dragon.
“In other words, you plan to use the manure to deal with the Mirage?” asked Su Chen.
“Yeah, the smell of the manure has the ability to wake people up from the illusion and turn the Mirage into an army of one,” replied Cultivator Junjun.
“Don’t you think it’s a bit of an overkill to use precious manure for that?!” The Elite King slapped his thigh in irritation. He was being put in between a rock and a hard place.
Yang Jing cupped his fist into a salute and said, “Brother Elite King, whether this can be done or not depends on whether you’re willing to help us.”
The Elite King sighed and said, “It’s not a question of whether I’m willing to help you guys or not. The manure fertilizes the expert’s backyard. How am I going to explain to the expert when he realizes that some of the manure’s missing? You do know that what you’re asking for is a lot, right?”
He then glanced at the wild game animals. Cultivator Junjun also glanced at the wild game animals and said quietly, “Brother Elite King, perhaps you can ask the game animals to work hard and speed up their progress? They, too, need to pull their weight since they’re working for the expert.”
‘The game animals jolted. ‘What does this have anything to do with us? We usually work hard enough. Look at how thin we are! Don’t be so oppressive!”
“Brother Elite King, I’m sure the game animals can still squeeze out some more manure,” said Yang Jing.
“If not, I can help you beat the crap out of them!”
‘aid Xiao Chengfeng.
“Sob, sob. Are you guys even human?! thought the game animals.
“Hmm, whatever! Su Chen, take a bucket of manure and go with them. Remember to use it sparingly,” said the Elite King as he sighed in exasperation. Then, to the game animals, he said, “Sorry, guys. It seems like you’ll all need to work overtime for quite some time.”
The game animals collapsed on the ground helplessly. ‘Don’t we have a say in this at all?
“Thank you, Brother Elite King!” Cultivator Junjun and the others were overjoyed. Then, they immediately urged Su Chen to fill up a bucket with some manure. After a while, the group left in a hurry.
However, before leaving, Cultivator Junjun did not forget to ask the Elite King to inform Daji that many major powerhouses in the Origins Realm were also taking measures against the gray mist. They even offered up their secret borders as rewards.
The trip took them a full five days without stopping for rest. Nevertheless, their spirits remained high as they knew victory was just around the comer.
“Brother Su Chen, this is the place. Please, pour out the manure here,” said Cultivator Junjun excitedly.
“Okay, just watch me!” Su Chen nodded. Then, his face turned serious, and with a wave of his hand, the manure was scattered all over the Mirage! His technique was extremely bizarre. Although it was just a casual wave, it seemed to be able to summon the rain. It was as if he could manipulate the will of
Wisdom itself. Drops of liquid shrouded the void and soon, it covered the entire Mirage.
“Rain Summon.” Goddess Nuwa smiled slightly as she cast a spell toward the sky. A torrential rain immediately fell from the sky, converging with the drops of liquid that were summoned by Su Chen. Together, it rained down on every comer of the Mirage.
$u Chen poured more and more manure out to make sure there would be enough to cover the entire Mirage with a thick layer of manure. In the Mirage, a group of creatures drifted aimlessly. The expressions on their faces were either excited, wretched, crazed, or agitated… Obviously, they were immersed
in their own fantasies and could not extricate themselves.
At that moment, the pattering rain fell on all of them like a waterfall…
