LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 33
“Are you the Ye Junlin they keep talking about? The strongest around here?!” said the Silver-winged Being, its expression not so friendly.
Boom!
Without saying a word, Ye Junlin took a step forward, unleashing his full cultivation at the Unity Stage.
No doubt about it, he definitely scared this bunch of Alien Races.
After all, being at the Unity Stage was already the peak level of cultivation in the Luotian Secret Realm.
“What are you afraid of? It’s just one guy!”
One of the Unity Stage beings shouted.
“Exactly!”
Over sixty Unity Stage beings stepped out together, their combined pressure overwhelming.
“Oh my God!”
Countless people were so scared they fell to their knees, trembling in fear.
Meanwhile, Ye Junlin, at the eye of the storm, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Alright, this tactic isn’t working.
Interestingly, when they saw one of their own was at the peak Unity Stage, this group of Alien Beings actually calmed down a bit. They were still quite wary, though.
But dragging this out would definitely lead to trouble!
Just as Ye Junlin was feeling a headache, something suddenly happened to Bai Xiaoxi.
Boom!
A vast and ancient holy aura erupted from within it, its originally ruby-red eyes transformed into a brilliant golden color, and an ancient mark appeared on its forehead, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.
“Xiaoxi, you?”
Ye Junlin was stunned.
“What’s happening to this rat…” Hong Qianye’s expression changed dramatically.
In an instant.
Before countless wide-eyed onlookers, the White-haired Mouse began to levitate in mid-air, its body enveloped in a huge golden sun.
“This, this is the aura of the Grand Luo Immortal Tree!!!” Some Alien Races began to react, their eyes filled with deep reverence.
You have to know.
In the Luotian Secret Realm, the one thing you can’t offend is the Grand Luo Immortal Tree, which supports the entire realm. In the hearts of all beings, that’s basically like the heavens!
Just when they thought the whole secret realm was about to collapse and that the Grand Luo Immortal Tree would go down with it, unexpectedly, they felt that familiar and comforting aura once again through a White-haired Mouse!
Like a baby in swaddling, returning to its mother’s embrace.
“Waaah, the Grand Luo Immortal Tree hasn’t abandoned us!”
“Please guide your subjects, Grand Luo Immortal Tree, on how to proceed!”
“Please protect us, Immortal Tree!!”
…
The cries rose and fell.
Hundreds of thousands of Alien Beings dropped to their knees, worshipping, even the powerful Unity Stage ones were no exception, all bowing at Bai Xiaoxi’s feet.
They were emotionally charged, tears of joy in their eyes.
“Holy crap!”
Xu Yonian looked shocked, almost doubting his own eyes.
Ye Junlin’s new disciple turned out to be such a big deal?!!
Even the well-informed Hong Qianye was taken aback by this scene, finally realizing that this White-haired Mouse possessed incredible fortune.
Glancing at the composed Ye Junlin, Hong Qianye inwardly thought, “As expected, everything is part of your plan. I just knew you were not that simple.”
At this moment, Ye Junlin’s mind was reeling.
He recalled noticing Bai Xiaoxi’s oddities earlier and suddenly had many more speculations.
“Could it be that the Grand Luo Immortal Fruits nurtured by the Grand Luo Immortal Tree are, in essence, another way for its will to return, and after Bai Xiaoxi consumed one, it birthed the Grand Luo Immortal Body along with some remnant will of the tree?”
“Is the will of the Grand Luo Immortal Tree now awakening, trying to take control of Bai Xiaoxi’s body?”
Ye Junlin furrowed his brow.
Honestly, he quite liked this White-haired Mouse. If his disciple was replaced by a new will, that would be another story.
“Xiaoxi, are you alright? Please respond!” Ye Junlin anxiously transmitted.
Suspended in mid-air, Bai Xiaoxi’s eyes were cold and indifferent, but as Ye Junlin’s transmission entered its mind, a violent wave of its core spirit was triggered.
“Master is calling for Mouse, Mouse can’t sleep!”
Bai Xiaoxi struggled, its body shaking like a leaf.
Finally, its eyes became animated again, and its mind returned to its original clarity.
“Master!”
Bai Xiaoxi obediently landed beside Ye Junlin and gave a proper salute.
“Glad you’re alright.” A hint of relief flashed in Ye Junlin’s eyes as he gently stroked its head.
“What? The Grand Luo Immortal Tree actually took that Human Race as its master?!”
The bewildered crowd of natives was shocked, their worldview being heavily shaken.
“Hmm?”
Noticing this shift, Ye Junlin came up with a plan and quietly transmitted to Bai Xiaoxi.
“Xiaoxi, just do as I say…”
After a while, Bai Xiaoxi cleared its throat and solemnly addressed the Alien Races:
“The collapse of this secret realm is meant to be, but do not panic. You are all my subjects, and I will never abandon you.”
Upon hearing this.
The Alien Races were ecstatic, as if they had found their backbone.
At that moment, Ye Junlin casually added, “Heaven has compassion. In that case, let your subjects join my Xuantian Sect and receive my protection.”
Bai Xiaoxi made a formal bow, saying, “Thank you, Master!”
“Immortal Tree, you…” The Silver-winged Being was stunned, completely unprepared for this change in the situation.
“Are you doubting me?”
With hands behind its back, Bai Xiaoxi coolly stared down the being.
The formerly arrogant Silver-winged Being immediately felt doused in ice water, fearfully bowing its head, “I didn’t mean to.”
The other Alien Races fell silent, having lived in the Luotian Secret Realm for so long, their surrender to the Grand Luo Immortal Tree was instinctive.
To them, even the Grand Luo Immortal Tree, which they revered as a divine being, willingly followed orders, and as their subjects, they had even less reason to doubt.
At that moment, Ye Junlin and Bai Xiaoxi were effectively commanding this group of Alien Beings, skillfully quelling the crisis before it could escalate.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: Sun Dial!]
[Sun Dial]: Opens a training space where one hundred years inside is equivalent to just one day outside.
The system’s notification echoed in his mind.
Ye Junlin’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought, “I did it!”
This time, he truly owed it to his new disciple, who turned out to be such a huge asset in a critical moment.
Regarding the reward, Ye Junlin wasn’t overly thrilled since the function of the Sun Dial just provided a time-dilated training room.
At first glance, it sounded great—close up for a hundred years of training with only a day passing outside—but for someone like him, who thrived in strong situations, this thing seemed a bit useless.
Since he crossed into this world, he was just here to enjoy life!
With the system’s help, he could just lay back while his cultivation grew from encounters. Why bother staying in the Sun Dial to grind?
However, just because he didn’t need it didn’t mean others wouldn’t.
Ye Junlin thought it through: he could let people around him use the Sun Dial since his level would always be above theirs…
“I can’t believe this! These powerful beings are joining Xuantian Sect?” Sect Master Xu Yonian was almost overwhelmed with happiness, his hands trembling and tears pooling in his eyes.
This included over a thousand in the Transformation Stage and more than sixty at the Unity Stage, with the rest being a sea of Golden Cores.
A force of such magnitude was about to join Xuantian Sect today?
“Sect Master, from now on, our Xuantian Sect will rank among the top ten sects in the Eastern Domain!”
One Peak Master exclaimed excitedly.
The disciples of Xuantian Sect were over the moon. This meant their sect would be incredibly prosperous.
“Is this even possible?!”
Ouyang Feng was dumbfounded, shocked by the overall strength boost of Xuantian Sect.
“This is amazing! I just knew Ye Junlin could solve the crisis!”
The Arid Province cultivators were in awe.
Even the powerful beings of the Alien Races had to heed the commands of Ye Junlin’s disciple!
It was absolutely unbelievable!!!
“Master, Mouse did it! They really all listened to Mouse!” Bai Xiaoxi excitedly transmitted.
“Well done, I’m very pleased.”
Ye Junlin then asked with concern, “By the way, will the will of the Grand Luo Immortal Tree affect you now?”
Bai Xiaoxi replied, “No, after I woke up, I haven’t felt anything from it.”
“Is that so?”
Ye Junlin nodded.
It seemed inheriting part of the will of the Grand Luo Immortal Tree wasn’t a bad thing for his disciple; at least it imposed some constraints on these Alien Races.
After that, everyone gradually returned home to process what had happened today.
Meanwhile, Xuantian Sect was bustling, busy accommodating this group of Alien Races.
In Qingzhou.
The golden spaceship shot into the Yuhua Sect.
The spiritless Chen Xiao was being supported out, catching the curious gazes of many sect disciples.
In their memory, this new Saint Son was supposed to be vibrant, like a rising sun. How could he come back from the Arid Province looking so beaten and listless?
“Saint Son, what happened to you…”
An Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall hurriedly approached.
He noticed that several important figures were missing from the group, and his heart skipped a beat with a terrible thought creeping in.
“I want to see my Master…” Chen Xiao’s lips were pale as he said weakly.
“Reporting to the Saint Son, Grand Sun Venerable is currently in closed-door cultivation.”
The Elder tread cautiously. “May I ask what exactly happened? Where are Elder Yan and the others?”
Chen Xiao managed a bitter smile without replying.
Beside him, someone cried out, “They’re dead! All of them!”
“What?!!”
Not only did the Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall turn pale, but the nearby Yuhua Sect cultivators also changed their expressions dramatically.
Those were nine inner sect Elders, all Unity Stage powerhouses. Such a strong group was entirely wiped out in the small Arid Province?
“Saint Son, who did this?!”
“Quickly tell me so I can report to the sect!”
The Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall urged him.
Chen Xiao lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot, his face twisted in rage as he gritted his teeth and spat out:
“Xuantian Sect! Ye Junlin!!”
