Chapter 15: Your Plug-in Only Has a Three-Day Probation Period

Editor: Atlas Studios

"And who is Feng Xia?"

Yan Wuyou felt helpless.

It was only at this moment that she realized although she had gone through countless hardships and almost died before she finally found the First Ancestor of the Three Lives Hall…

However, this First Ancestor did not seem to be right in the mind.

First Ancestor, please do not stop talking!

"He's a very despicable bastard! Yes, he's as despicable as that bad guy back then! This brat needs to bear 90% of the responsibility for me being unable to break the seal!"

Yan Wuyou suddenly became alert. "Was it Feng Xia who caused your attempt to break the seal to fail?"

It was because this kid refused to let me possess him!

Every time he recalled what had happened in the past few months, Patriarch Chenhai would feel dishonored and feel a strong urge to kill himself.

Unfortunately, the seal that was suppressing him was extremely strange. When he tried to break the seal, it would transform into a powerful force to stop him.

However, if he tried to commit suicide, it would transform into a powerful vitality force to keep him alive. After his first millennium under seal, Patriarch Chenhai had tried to make such an attempt.

The result of his suicide attempt was to end up half-dead at one point and being at the mercy of the sealing arrangement. He could not even control his bodily functions… for 100 years!

After that, Patriarch Chenhai learned his lesson.

He had been suppressed for 3,000 years and had never managed to fully enjoy his life. How could he die so easily?

"I guess you can say so. When you leave the Ancient Forsaken Land, remember to settle the score with him on my behalf."

Without batting an eyelid and shirking his own responsibility in the whole saga, Patriarch Chenhai said resentfully, "Under my guidance, it'll be easy for you to be invincible among those of the same level. At that time, so long as you don't kill him, give him a good beating!"

As Yan Wuyou listened, she remembered something else. "May I ask First Ancestor what characteristics does Feng Xia have? How should I find him in the future?"

"The kid looks like this!"

Swoosh—

Yan Wuyou felt her vision blur. A three-dimensional image of a black-haired young man with a faint smile appeared in front of her eyes.

At this moment, she could not hide her surprise. "It's… it's him?!"

The person in the image smiling at her was the young man who had seen through her disguise at the entrance of the Ancient Forsaken Land!

"First Ancestor, he's already a Dao Platform Realm Champion, but I've only just opened the Mystical Realm…" Yan Wuyou could not find the word to describe her feelings.

The feeling of falling from heaven to hell was like your parents telling you solemnly at your 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony…

Father and Mother had kept something from you for years, our child. Now would be the time to tell you the truth.

Actually, we had a debt of 150 million dollars and we had not even managed to pay a fraction of it. This difficult task would be passed down to you.

(Then they patted you on the shoulders and then slipped away)

"Can someone of the Dao Platform Realm be worthy of being called a Champion? Are they worthy? Pfft!"

Patriarch Chenhai immediately started cursing when he heard that. "Also, this kid is not at the Dao Platform Realm at all. When I first saw him a few months ago, this kid was only a mortal with no cultivation at all!"

"Not the Dao Platform Realm? Just a mortal a few months ago?" Yan Wuyou replied with a confused expression, "But I clearly saw that he had a Dao Platform…"

She had previously secretly urged the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley to claim that Feng Xia was a fake Dao Platform Realm cultivator, and also used the Soul Absorbing Talisman to interfere with the situation in an attempt to cause a larger conflict between the two sides.

However, in her heart, she did think that Feng Xia was really at the Dao Platform Realm.

Otherwise, she would not have deliberately stirred up trouble.

"That thing can be called a Dao Platform? Are you trying to make me laugh my wig off?" Patriarch Chenhai sneered. "That kid is indeed quite strange, but I'm very sure that he hasn't even opened a single Mystical Realm."

"If he hasn't even opened his Mystical Realm, doesn't that mean that he… he…"

After a few words, Yan Wuyou took a step back as if she had been struck by lightning.

The young man who had almost messed up her ancestral search plan and forced her to use her trump card to barely make an escape… was actually a complete rookie?

"However, although he didn't open any Mystical Realm, he cultivated three… one soul divine power."

"Huh?" Yan Wuyou suddenly remembered the lotus shadow that flashed across Feng Xia's eyes when he destroyed her Soul Absorbing Talisman.

"In addition, although he hasn't stepped into the Dao Platform Realm, that brick… well, just treat it as a brick, it does possess the partial power of the Dao Platform."

"Huh?"

Yan Wuyou thought of the words Feng Xia had said to Bai Canghai at that time—

"Wrong. This is the Dao Brick Realm!"

"So there's a realm like the Dao Brick Realm in this world…" Yan Wuyou silently memorized it in her heart, feeling that she had gained a lot of knowledge in the blink of an eye.

"By the way, First Ancestor, the Ancient Forsaken Land will only remain open for three days…"

"Huh?"

"I see, I see."

After hearing Bai Canghai relate the history of Xuanwu Kingdom and the Thousand Autumn Valley, Feng Xia had a look of realization on his face. It was as if he had read the Baidu encyclopedia twice. Although he still knew nothing about it, he would be able to brag about it as if he was a subject expert.

"It's a pity that this world doesn't have the Zhihu forum…" Feng Xia thought with a hint of regret.

Regarding the world outside the Ancient Forsaken Land, the biggest difference between what Patriarch Chenhai had described and what the world was actually like—

The people in power had changed from the powerful sects in those days to the countries of today!

Although there were still some resurgences in many regions, the sects had already lost their power in the current situation. The magnificent time they had ruling the world in their ivory towers had already become only a single drop in the ocean of history.

"This is an era that belongs to the nations."

Feng Xia quietly concluded in his heart, "Patriarch, times have indeed changed!"

Apart from the change in power and authority, the most obvious difference was the change in the numbers and power of the divine beings.

"In the past 3,000 years, the spiritual energy in the world has become lesser and lesser, and the power of divine beings has also been weakening day by day. Today, a person in the Dao Platform Realm is already the most powerful divine being in Xuanwu Kingdom…"

Feng Xia did not doubt Bai Canghai's words.

At the end of the day, the two of them could be said to have gotten to know each other through a fight (though a one-sided fight). There was no enmity between them in the past. It could not be that Bai Canghai deliberately suffered a beating just to deceive him, right?

Ewww… If that is the case, then he is insane.

"Since you've provided me with so much information, I might as well give you a word of advice."

Feng Xia took a few steps away from Bai Canghai and said with a smile, "If your purpose in coming to the Ancient Forsaken Lane is to find opportunities and revive your Thousand Autumn Valley… then I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Wh—"

Bai Canghai's jaw dropped.

Although none of the surrounding Thousand Autumn Valley disciples spoke, they all stopped moving in unison. Their gazes landed on Feng Xia one after another.

"In the Ancient Forsaken Lane, other than an old monster who is being suppressed under a seal, there is only a large cluster of black jade spiders. There are no spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs, real immortals, magical birds, or magical beasts. All the opportunities you imagine—there are none in the Ancient Forsaken Land."

"Tsk." Zhu Youniang, who was following closely behind Feng Xia, suddenly smacked her lips.

Plop!

As soon as Feng Xia finished speaking, Bai Canghai's pupils suddenly constricted into dots. However, his body gradually became weak, as if he had lost strength in his spine. He swayed and fell to the ground.

"No… nothing at all?"

He murmured despondently.

Under the Divine Light Bridge, the void was lonely, just like his soul at this moment.

If there were no opportunities in the Ancient Forsaken Land, how could he revive the sect and recreate the glory of the Thousand Autumn Valley at its peak?

"This child clearly lacks the nourishment of chicken soup for the soul."

Feng Xia secretly shook his head. He could understand Bai Canghai's despair, but he was unable to empathize with him.

A gentleman had once said that people's joys and sorrows were not interlinked.

"Forget it, forget it. You guys are still lucky in this matter. If you had met anyone else, I'm afraid you would already have met your end."

After cultivating the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique, Feng Xia's soul had become stronger day by day.

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts already flashed through his mind. Then, he removed whatever was not applicable—for example, making Bai Canghai an idol to revive the sect.

Instead, it was the other young man, the one who had intercepted Feng Xia earlier, who was handsome and looked very suitable for cross-dressing.

"Let me ask you something. What's the most important thing if you want to revive the Thousand Autumn Valley?"

Feng Xia stepped forward and approached Bai Canghai.

The once high-spirited eldest disciple actually looked a little hunched at this moment. He raised his head with spiritless eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it… various natural treasures?"

"If the most important thing is the natural treasures, why not just plant you in the soil and let the natural treasures cultivate themselves?"

"But…"

"The world is so big. Are there only natural treasures to be found in the Ancient Forsaken Land?"

"Of course not …"

Bai Canghai looked up at the serious face which showed a hint of a smile.

Suddenly, some form of spiritual light struck Bai Canghai.

"Senior… I understand now."

He stood up abruptly. As he rubbed his temples, the determination reappeared in his eyes as he thought, "The path of cultivation is like sailing a boat against the current. There will only be a path forward if we don't stop moving."

"What do you understand?" Feng Xia asked with an enigmatic smile.

"I will never forget Senior's guidance."

Bai Canghai suddenly cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Feng Xia. "After I return to the sect, I will leave my position as the eldest disciple. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Thousand Autumn Valley."

Feng Xia: "?"

No, no, no, I do not think you understand!


Chapter 16: No Obfuscation Allowed!

Editor: Atlas Studios

After hearing what Bai Canghai said, Feng Xia's first reaction was—

I am not. I did not. Don't talk nonsense.

The second reaction that followed was to want to give Bai Canghai a tight slap to wake him up. Was this what my advice meant?

Hey, it is not about what you think, it is about what I think!

After taking a few breaths, Feng Xia advised him earnestly, "Why don't you… reconsider carefully?"

"Senior, you don't have to dissuade me. I've made up my mind."

Bai Canghai seemed to have already completely recovered from his earlier disappointment. His eyes were filled with a fighting spirit that shocked whoever who saw it. He took a deep breath and replied, articulating his words slowly, "The world is huge and there are as many treasures as there are stars in the sky. Even without the Ancient Forsaken Land, there are still other opportunities out there."

"Staying in the Thousand Autumn Valley will only limit the opportunities I have," he said in a low voice with a determined look.

"Eldest… Eldest Brother!"

"Brother Bai, what… what do you mean?"

"Eldest Brother, you're joking, right!"

Seeing that Bai Canghai did not look regretful, nor did he look like he was joking, all the Thousand Autumn Valley disciples finally panicked.

They could not believe their ears. That eldest disciple who was loyal to the sect, always approachable to his fellow disciples and determined to revive the Thousand Autumn Valley… had suddenly chosen to leave the sect?

"How… how did this happen …"

"We have already found the Ancient Forsaken Land and driven away the Hundred Nether Sect demoness. Why did it… end up like this?"

The good-looking youth, who was the first one to step forward to protect Bai Canghai earlier, had a blank expression as if he had been struck by lightning. He kept muttering incoherently.

The sect was not a school.

Although Bai Canghai put it across as him wanting to leave the sect, to put it in an extreme manner, this was almost equivalent to betraying the sect!

According to the sect rules, before Bai Canghai left the sect, he had to destroy his own cultivation and return to the sect everything he had obtained during his time there. He could only leave the Thousand Autumn Valley after receiving confirmation from the elders.

"You don't have to talk me out of it. My mind is made up. This is the best possible outcome for everyone concerned."

Not for me, I do not think so.

—Feng Xia observed the situation in a bossy manner and really felt like interrupting the man.

However, when all the words reached his mouth, he realized that he could not say them out loud.

It was fine for him to use stories from the Chicken Soup of the Soul books to torment people. However, he was actually in no position to advise Bai Canghai on this matter.

This was like a situation when someone tried to persuade a couple to break up. At least 95% of the time, the person giving the advice would get scolded by the couple…

"If I support this guy's decision, the Thousand Autumn Valley will definitely target me. After all, it happened because he took my advice. No one will believe it if I say that I had nothing to do with it."

"But if I object to his decision, it's equivalent to saying that what I just said to him was nonsense. Not only that, if Bai Canghai suddenly takes things too hard and does bungee jumping like Yan Wuyou…"

If that was the case, Thousand Autumn Valley would still focus their animosity on him in the end.

To support? To object?

Feng Xia quickly weighed the pros and cons. In the end, he realized regretfully that no matter which choice he made, it seemed that he would incur the animosity of the Thousand Autumn Valley!

"Still, it's not completely unsolvable."

Thinking of this, Feng Xia waved his hand as a hint of praise flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said in a deep voice, "Coincidentally, I just came out of seclusion and need to find a place to stay. There's no time like the present. I'll follow you and do a stopover at the Thousand Autumn Valley."

Bai Canghai moved his eyes slightly and he seemed to have understood something.

Everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley looked over in unison. Their surprised, dazed and disbelieving gazes fell on Feng Xia.

"Senior… do you mean…"

"I'll go and stay in the Thousand Autumn Valley for a while and visit my fellow practitioners of this era. As for when I should leave, I'll leave that up to fate."

Feng Xia smiled mysteriously and casually flicked his sleeve, wanting to imitate those experts in a movie. Then, he remembered that he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had nothing to flick.

Feng Xia could only give up grumpily.

After taking a few breaths, Bai Canghai finally managed to recover from the shock. He opened his mouth in a daze but was unable to say anything. In the end, he only bowed to Feng Xia again.

"Senior, I will never forget your kindness. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely be there, come hell or high water!"

Visit the Thousand Autumn Valley temporarily (×)

Cleaning up Bai Canghai's mess (√)

After automatically completing this formality, Bai Canghai felt a surge of emotions in his heart. That man who did not look big and strong had now become exceptionally imposing in his eyes. After all, the man felt like a father figure who willingly accepted everything about him.

Feng Xia did not know that in Bai Canghai's heart, he currently held the same status as Patriarch Chenhai did in his own heart a few months ago. This was because he had just gone through his plan three times before confirming that he could not find any major flaws in it.

Cleaning up Bai Canghai's mess (×)

Heading to freeload in the Thousand Autumn Valley (√)

Since everyone thought that he was a Dao Platform Realm Champion, and this group of people was indeed quite weak in cultivation, it should be fine for him to temporarily cosplay as a Dao Platform Realm Champion and visit the Thousand Autumn Valley for a few days?

"A visit from an ancient champion from 700 years ago should divert the attention of everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley, so that they don't dwell on the fact that I screwed up one of their disciples…"

In Feng Xia's opinion, this was the closest thing to having the best of both worlds.

Then again…

Feng Xia turned his attention back to Bai Canghai. He gathered all his thoughts and sighed, "May I know why you're so outstandingly showy?"

If they were back on Earth, Bai Canghai's actions at this moment would be no different from selling his three houses in Shanghai at low prices and starting a WeChat business in telecommunications after reading a random piece of advice posted on social media.

"Since Senior is willing to pay us a visit, I can also leave in peace."

Bai Canghai then interjected unexpectedly, "But before we go back, we have to find Junior Sister Ling that the demoness abducted."

Before they set off, one of the disciples of the Thousand Year Valley entered the Ancient Forsaken Land and confirmed with everyone that the flowers, plants and trees around the entrance were indeed just ordinary plants. Only then everyone set off on the return journey.

Not long after they left, a loud buzzing sound could be heard throughout the world.

Streaks of light soared around endlessly in the sky. It was divine light pouring down and spiritual energy surging. The Divine Light Bridge that cut through the vast sea of clouds gradually faded, allowing the ancient land to return to its state of isolation.

The next time it opened again would be many years later in the future.

"The dream that took you through thousands of years, which year would it bring you to?"

Feng Xia took a glance at the ancient land in the distance and turned silently to leave. "Senior Chenhai, one day… I will return!"

Not long after they left, a blurry shadow streaked across the long bridge that was about to dissipate. It then turned into a beautiful woman with an unhappy expression who headed straight for the other side of the abyss.

"Feng Xia, Feng Xia, Feng Xia, Feng Xia!"

"First Ancestor is really too much. No matter what he says, it's always about Feng Xia, Feng Xia!"

"He even said 'That brat Feng Xia comprehended the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique in two days. Young girl, you can't be worse off than that brat, so you only need a day and a half'!"

"Can that sort of thing be decided so casually? It clearly took First Ancestor himself seven days to do it!"

"He even asked me why I haven't cultivated any divine powers. He said that when Feng Xia comprehended the cultivation technique, he cultivated three divine powers naturally… Ahhhhh!!"

If there had been any outsiders here, they would have been stunned by what was happening.

All along, the rumors about Yan Wuyou were regarding her reputation as a fierce demoness.

Apart from this, there were also many rumors about her beauty—proving the fact that no matter how bad Yan Wuyou's reputation was, and even in the alternate world, appearance was power.

She might not be elegant, but she was vixenly enchanting and irresistible.

However, at this moment, Yan Wuyou was shouting hysterically as she rushed out of the Ancient Forsaken Land without looking back. She was even crazily pulling her hair into a mess.

"He comprehended a cultivation technique in a day and a half and cultivated three divine powers in three days. How is that possible!"

"But I can't even refute First Ancestor. He was clearly the one who had been mesmerized by that Feng Xia. One moment, he said that the guy ruined his escape plan. Then the next moment, he said that that guy was very talented and became conflicted about why such a person wasn't his disciple…"

After their brief interaction, Yan Wuyou could confirm one thing—

The Yan Clan's legendary peerlessly powerful and infinitely clever First Ancestor might have been suppressed and sealed for too long that his mind seemed to be a little dim…

Since you think he's talented, then take him in as your disciple!

If that guy refuses, then force him!

If you don't even dare to force him, how are you able to practice what you preach!?

First Ancestor had already imparted his unique cultivation technique to Feng Xia and even guided him in his cultivation. In the end, how did he become the culprit who ruined First Ancestor's plan?

"Seriously… I'm hopping mad."

Grumbling unhappily, she finally crossed the deep abyss and stepped onto the solid earth on the other side just before the long bridge disappeared.

Swoosh—

The divine light dissipated completely.

The sea of clouds on both sides closed up quickly. Clouds of smoke swirled around, filling every inch of space and blocking the view from all angles, making it impossible to see the way back.

The ancient land, which was last sealed for 3,000 years, was once again isolated after a brief three-day opening.

"It's time to go back."

After silently calming her own mood, Yan Wuyou's figure gradually changed. From her original tall and lanky figure, she quickly transformed into a petite and cute girl.

"Brother Bai and the other senior brothers and sisters should be anxiously trying to find me, right?"

The little girl smiled sweetly. There was a tiny dimple in her face and she looked like a fledgling when she smiled, making people feel like protecting her.

Who else could it be but Ling Jieyu, the most obedient junior sister of the Thousand Autumn Valley?
