Chapter 297: Loose Cultivator of Qianye Continent

In the dead of night, Lin Xun was lifted up in a princess carry by Xia Xiaomeng.

For Xia Xiaomeng, who was already a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, Lin Xun’s weight was truly nothing.

Lin Xun felt that he really didn’t want to take advantage of Sister Mimi, so he intentionally tilted his head to one side.

However, Xia Xiaomeng firmly pulled Lin Xun’s head back, leaning it against her soft chest.

Lin Xun felt very sorry toward Qinger.

But on second thought, it seemed like this really wasn’t his fault.

Carrying Lin Xun into the bedchamber, she tucked him in under the covers.

Taking advantage of Lin Xun being unconscious, Xia Xiaomeng gave his lips a final kiss before reluctantly leaving.

Xia Xiaomeng’s voice drifted in faintly from outside the bedchamber.

Lin Xun heard clearly that Sister Xiaomeng was instructing that no one was allowed to enter her bedchamber, nor was there any need to clean it.

Finally, she delegated some government affairs to her maidservants.

Though they were called maidservants, their administrative abilities were certainly not lacking; they had all been Xia Xiaomeng’s study companions since childhood.

If it weren’t for the fact that women could not serve as officials in court, these maidservants would likely all be high-ranking officials.

One could say these maidservants were Xia Xiaomeng’s mini-cabinet.

After settling the arrangements, Xia Xiaomeng departed, without even greeting the assembled ministers.

“Where exactly is Sister Mimi going that she’s in such a hurry? And she’ll be gone for three months.”

Lin Xun woke up in the room; the vast chamber was filled with the faint, lingering fragrance of Xia Xiaomeng.

If it weren’t for the need to go to the Rootless Secret Realm, Lin Xun really would have followed behind Xia Xiaomeng to prevent any accidents from happening to her.

But right now, he truly couldn’t get away.

Still, with a great Immortal Realm Cultivator accompanying Sister Mimi, nothing should go wrong.

In this world, the Immortal Realm was already the peak of combat power; in large Sects, they were at the level of Sect Master or even Old Ancestor.

It was impossible for anything to happen to Sister Mimi.

“Just as well, I need to hurry and leave too.”

Lin Xun stretched, took off his clothes, and changed into a green robe commonly seen in the mortal world.

Otherwise, what if the clothes Sister Mimi gave him got ruined?

He would have to wear that same outfit upon his return and continue lying in bed.

Silently leaving the palace, Lin Xun didn’t rush to dive into the Void Realm to travel, but instead hovered above the palace for a moment.

Taking in the entire vast palace, Lin Xun could see golden mountain and river Luck converging toward the palace from all directions!

This mountain and river Luck was all transformed from the faith of the hundreds of millions of people in the Qian Kingdom.

Eventually, it would become Imperial Dragon Luck, protecting Xia Xiaomeng.

This was a good thing.

However, what Lin Xun worried about was that the moment Sister Mimi stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, this mountain and river Luck would produce an anomaly!

At that time, countless gazes would converge on the Qian Kingdom’s palace!

And once Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body was discovered, she would face endless trouble!

“Tsk, I’ll really have to think of a way when the time comes.”

Lin Xun took one last look and turned to step into the Void Realm.

In any case, Lin Xun was already prepared.

If Sister Mimi’s Immortal Emperor Body were exposed and she suffered the covetousness of countless Cultivators, then even if he had to reveal his identity and start a massacre, he would not hesitate.

He would kill until not a single person dared to have even the slightest thought about Sister Mimi!

The journey was long.

It couldn’t be helped; the distance from Fuchen Continent to Qianye Continent was simply too far.

Lin Xun traveled through the Void Realm for three days before finally arriving at Fuchen Continent.

Fuchen Continent was vast, and there were many Taoists.

In the secular dynasties of Fuchen Continent, the state religion was almost always Taoism.

This was Lin Xun’s first time coming to Fuchen Continent.

Even the air had a sense of “The Dao follows nature.”

Fuchen Continent was the opposite of Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent.

Or rather, Fuchen Continent and Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent were extremely at odds.

After all, the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism had been debated endlessly since ancient times.

Because they could never reach a conclusion after hundreds of millions of years, Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent and Fuchen Continent held a Great Debate of Buddhism and Taoism every hundred years.

How many years away the next Great Debate was, Lin Xun had forgotten.

In any case, Wang Chen would represent Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent in the next Great Debate.

This would also be the first time in history that a Buddhist woman participated in the Great Debate.

And he heard that in Fuchen Continent’s Fuchen Holy Land, there was a Taoist nun who would directly clash with Wang Chen.

Ruo Wangchen of Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent.

Mo Wenwen of Fuchen Continent.

The two were of similar age, and both were the representative figures of Buddhism and Taoism today.

What’s more, both were peerless beauties.

Coupled with the intense and complex background of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism,

The debate between the two had once been a hot topic in the Myriad Laws World, and the hype was still very high now.

To be honest, Lin Xun was also somewhat looking forward to it.

But the “Great Debate of Buddhism and Taoism” should still be quite a while away, he felt.

This time, the entrance to the Rootless Secret Realm was in a region two thousand miles away from Fuchen Holy Land.

Lin Xun was in no hurry to go there.

Because Lin Xun had to first go to Dream Butterfly City to participate in a competition.

Admittedly, slots to enter the Rootless Secret Realm would be allocated to the prestigious Sects across the entire Myriad Laws World.

However, to also give other smaller Sects a chance, and to give the Wild Loose Cultivators of the world a chance,

Before every opening of the Rootless Secret Realm, there would be a selection competition.

Only Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm could participate in the competition.

Then, among all the Cultivators participating in the competition, only one thousand could enter the Rootless Secret Realm.

This difficulty was no different from trying to get into Tsinghua or Peking University among the many students in Henan Province in his previous life.

Quite a few Cultivators simply didn’t come.

Traveling a long distance just for that tiny bit of possibility was unnecessary.

But more Cultivators, especially the local Cultivators of Fuchen Continent, would still come to try their Luck.

After all, with things like opportunities, if you fight for them, you might not get them, but if you don’t fight, you definitely won’t.

“Name, which continent are you from, and which Sect?”

At the gate of Dream Butterfly City, there were two rows of Taoist Cultivators responsible for registration.

“Ri Dangwu, from Qianye Continent, no Sect or affiliation, a Wild Loose Cultivator.”

Lin Xun made up a name at random.

Aliases—you could have as many of those as you wanted.

However, after saying the name, Lin Xun felt that the name “Shanghe Tu” might have sounded a bit better.

“Ri Dangwu, Loose Cultivator of Qianye Continent.”

This Taoist Cultivator muttered while carving Lin Xun’s basic information onto a plaque, then handed it to Lin Xun.

The Taoist Cultivator said mechanically: “Ri Dangwu, keep your passage plaque safe. No private fighting or killing in the city, no flying. Violators will be expelled from the city, and may even lose their lives.”

While taking the token, Lin Xun secretly slipped a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone into his palm. “Brother, what is the situation with the inns in the city?”

The Taoist Cultivator accepted the Spirit Stone without leaving a trace:

“Brother, you’ve arrived quite early.

Snow Crane Inn should still have vacant rooms; the environment is very good, there are spiritual springs, and many guests.

A standard room is one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone per night (one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone equals ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones).

Furthermore, word is that the Fuchen Saintess, Mo Wenwen, might be staying there.”
