Free Web NovelChapter 2443: Chapter 2441: Communicating with the Immortal Realm
In the newly opened Spirit Fruit Garden of the Heavenly Court, Long Fei, along with Little Fatty, just applied some fertilizer to the Spiritual Roots here.
The fertilizer was made from his blood mixed with Taiyi True Water.
Rich in nutrients, it helps these spirit fruit trees stabilize their roots.
These fruit trees were all transplanted from Jade Island and are somewhat unaccustomed to the conditions here.
Little Fatty carried an adult-sized hammer and dutifully weeded the ground around the fruit trees under Long Fei’s guidance.
He picked up the weeds and curiously asked Long Fei, "Father, why do you remove these weeds? The spirit fruit trees are living things, but aren’t these weeds also living things?"
Long Fei gently laughed as he patted his head, "Life is equal, but there is a distinction between good and bad. These weeds grow in the wrong place and compete with the spirit fruit trees for nutrients, so they must be removed. It’s like people; when they take the wrong path and harm the interests of many, they need to be removed."
Little Fatty pondered, picking up the weeds and said, "If I plant them elsewhere, where they don’t interfere with others, wouldn’t they be useful then?"
"You could say that."
Long Fei nodded.
Little Fatty asked, "If bad people are put in a useful place, are they still bad?"
"You could say that too!"
Long Fei felt a bit challenged; he always felt that his intellect was insufficient in front of this little child.
"What are you two talking about?"
Lin Yingying came over with Lin Shanshan, serving them father and son with a good pot of tea.
Long Fei took the tea bowl, had a sip, and quickly handed Little Fatty over to her, "From now on, you should take care of this little guy! He has been making my head spin with questions all morning."
"Really?"
Lin Yingying chuckled, crouching down to tap Little Fatty’s nose, "You’re so clever, even your father is afraid of you!"
Little Fatty giggled, "Father is silly, doesn’t understand anything, I should ask Mom instead."
Everyone was amused by him.
Long Fei put down the tea bowl and looked at Lin Shanshan, "How come you have time to come here?"
Lin Shanshan asked him, "Brother-in-law, do you know a young man called Xiao Yan?"
"Xiao Yan?"
Long Fei seemed to recall, "I think I’ve met him before."
Lin Shanshan said, "He came to apply here today, saying that in their world, they cultivate something called Dou Qi, which is different from our Daoist Orthodoxies. He said our conditions are unfair and asked you to change the recruitment method."
Long Fei thought for a moment, "The Human Realm is vast, and the Daoist Orthodoxies of each Star Domain are indeed different. Using our Star Domain’s Orthodoxy for recruitment is indeed unfair to people from other Star Domains."
Lin Shanshan asked, "Then what method should we change to? Should we let those dissatisfied come out and have a fight?"
Long Fei laughed, "There are so many cultivators in the Human Realm, where would we find the time to select them one by one?"
He contemplated and instructed Lin Shanshan, "You go and spread the word: I will set up an examination array in all four directions of the Star Domain — east, south, west, and north. The array will have formations, pills, and various technique checkpoints for testing. As long as each person’s score reaches a certain level, they can enter the Heavenly Court for employment."
"This idea is great, sorting sand through waves of the ocean. A collective screening, relying on strength rather than sect status."
Lin Shanshan happily agreed and went to spread the message.
"What a wild girl, no sense of propriety."
Lin Yingying watched her with a laugh, pouring tea for Long Fei, and furrowing her brows, "Tell me, isn’t it strange that those ten True Immortals came recently? I’ve been thinking about who sent them to the Human Realm all these days. If it was the Ancestor of the Exposition Sect, I find it hard to believe. A dignified Saint wouldn’t conduct such a heaven-defying act so openly, right?"
"You’ve noticed too?"
Long Fei took a sip of tea and analyzed with her, "I also think it wasn’t the Ancestor of the Exposition Sect who ordered it but perhaps someone below who wants to use this event for advancement, intentionally doing it to show the Ancestor.
They’re quite aware: some big shots in the Immortal Realm intend to use the Daoist Orthodoxies in the Human Realm to surpass this calamity. Take the Demon Calamity — these Immortal Realm elites deliberately created it, leading its havoc into the Human Realm.
But now, the Human Realm has changed some aspects of the Demon Calamity due to us. Some opportunists in the Immortal Realm can’t bear it and deliberately send disciples down, hoping to claim credit before their Ancestor.
Lin Yingying complained, "In the end, it’s those big shots in the Immortal Realm entertaining such thoughts, enabling these crafty ones to act with impunity."
Long Fei sighed, "Man is the knife, and I am the fish. Everyone below the Saints is an ant. Saints should be selfless, but they have hidden motives, which leads to great disasters again and again. We are sitting on the chessboard, and can only follow the trend for a chance of survival."
"As long as Saints live, great thieves remain unstoppable!"
Seated beside them, Little Fatty suddenly blurted out a line, shocking Long Fei and Lin Yingying.
Long Fei put down the tea bowl, picked up the little guy, and told Lin Yingying, "Let’s go, we should learn about the situation in the Immortal Realm."
Lin Yingying rose, "The Immortal Realm? How do we understand it?"
Long Fei smiled, keeping it a secret, and carried Little Fatty, leading Lin Yingying away from the Heavenly Court Continent.
They sat atop the Chaos Beast, traversing the Void, arriving at a desolate Star Domain.
He had Lin Yingying and Little Fatty wait on the Chaos Beast, while he went to a planet above, raising his sword for a fierce stab downward.
With a rumbling sound, smoke and dust erupted upwards from the planet, making the entire star shake and tremble.
The fires spewed from below the planet, bursting into the sky due to the immense impact, sending flames flying everywhere.
This sword light pierced deeply, causing volcanic magma from the core to launch out.
Long Fei took out a bronze mirror-like Magical Treasure, tossing it into the sword crack on the planet.
He retreated, standing on the Chaos Beast.
Soon, a colossal beam of white light surged upwards from the gigantic planet, piercing through the Void, forming a white screen above Long Fei and Lin Yingying.
Across the sky, the virtual image of a grand world appeared.
Long Fei’s family and the Chaos Beast gazed at this great world, momentarily stunned and silent.
Though just a shadow, observing it felt like swimming freely in the ocean or running across a vast prairie, the heart felt enlightened, as if entering an immensely expansive world.
The trees inside were so lush and towering.
The sky inside was so high, so blue.
The birds inside were so large, so mighty.
Compared to this world, the Human Realm is merely a pond.
Little Fatty widened his mouth, unable to resist being the first to ask, "Father, is this the Immortal Realm?"
"It should be!"
Long Fei nodded, raising his hand to activate the mirror’s Mystic Pattern, attempting to connect with an old friend in the Immortal Realm.
Soon, under a green lamp in a cave house.
A woman suddenly opened her eyes, stood, sharply demanding, "Who is it?"
