Firefly Journey

Chapter 322 After the Storm, All Grasses Turn Green (14)

"So I've decided not to say anything more."

"Ok?"

Lin Yuanran was momentarily stunned. He never expected that such a witty remark could come from the mouth of Laozi, which made him doubt whether the white-bearded old man in front of him was really the Supreme Lord of Morality.

"Never mind, it won't hurt to talk about it."

"Ten thousand years ago, a catastrophe struck the Heavenly Court. Although it was eventually stopped, it shattered the Heavenly Court. My two close friends and I were severely injured and had to disperse our cultivation to seek a way to restore it."

"I possess a divine power called One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. After that catastrophe, I had an avatar come to this world."

"At that time, this world was in its initial stage of formation, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was abundant, making it the best choice for healing. Later, as all races took shape, demons ran rampant among them. I was not originally from this world, and stealing spiritual energy to heal myself was already disrespectful, so I dared not interfere in the affairs of this place."

"Seeing the suffering of all living beings, I could not bear it, so I enlightened the elites of all races and guided them to learn the methods of cultivation. Of course, my power was incompatible with this world, so I had to 'change my appearance,' which is the origin of magic."

"What I didn't expect was that the Creator is incredibly magical. With just a little guidance, they were able to apply what they learned to other situations and find different powers to use on themselves, which is what is known as 'professions'."

"You can't entirely blame the guy who summoned you for coming here, because it's because of me. I'm an external force that has helped them resolve the monster crisis to some extent, so your arrival might be a replica of me."

"I left this remnant of my soul behind to guide those who are destined to come. Drink this cup of tea, and its mysteries will become clear."

After saying his last words, the white-bearded old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom turned into mist and vanished, leaving only Lin Yuanran and a cup of tea.

Lin Yuanran looked at the tea in the cup, thinking that he might as well drink it, so he picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as he finished drinking the tea, the scene before him changed again, and he was back in the underground space.

Lin Yuanran rubbed his head, feeling a slight pain, and frowned, asking, "What's wrong with me?"

"Why the sudden headache? Could it be that book..." Fengling frowned.

"I...have I done anything strange?" Lin Yuanran asked uncertainly.

I was just pulled into a mysterious space and had a conversation with Laozi. It should have taken a few minutes. During those few minutes, did I even exist in the underground space?

"Just now you tried to infuse magic into the book, and suddenly a burst of light erupted. The light came and went quickly, and then you covered your head and cried out in pain. Could it be that you triggered some kind of forbidden switch?" Fengling analyzed.

Upon hearing Feng Ling's words, Lin Yuanran was secretly alarmed. She said that she cried out in pain after the light appeared, which meant that drinking tea with Laozi just now was just an illusion.

No, the aftertaste of the tea is still lingering in my mouth. What I just witnessed was definitely not fake. There is only one explanation: it all happened in my mind.

Since ancient times, in the myths of his original world, there has been the saying that one day in heaven is one year on earth. It is perfectly reasonable for the dignified Taiqing Daode Tianzun to know some time magic.

Just then, Lin Yuanran suddenly felt a burning sensation all over his body, as if he were about to burst into flames.

He didn't feel uncomfortable about this feeling; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.

His entire body was ablaze, a sign of abundant fire-based magic, which also meant that he could attempt to break through to a higher realm...

It's amazing, but it makes perfect sense.

It must be the result of that cup of divine tea from earlier.

Seeing that Lin Yuanran was not in a good mood, Feng Ling said with concern, "You look terrible."

Lin Yuanran smiled and said, "I may not be able to search for secrets for the time being."

"what are you up to?"

“Let’s try to break through to demigod status,” Lin Yuanran said.

Feng Ling was extremely clever and immediately realized it was because of the book: "Is there... an opportunity hidden inside?"

Lin Yuanran nodded, but still did not intend to tell her about his background.

"Yes, I think I'm going to be on par with you again."

He hadn't forgotten that Feng Ling had made further progress in the past three years, and was now clearly a demigod.

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on it for you,” Fengling said calmly.

Lin Yuanran was in a good mood and joked, "Could it be that while we're gone, the Allied Forces will storm the Danyang Church and then come down to bother me?"

“That’s possible,” Wind Chime said, playing along with feigned seriousness.

Lin Yuanran raised an eyebrow, then laughed, and it was a hearty laugh.

She was just agreeing with me...

To put it another way, a harmonious marriage? He thought happily, though of course, it was just wishful thinking.

"I have a feeling that the breakthrough opportunity you obtained might be the secret of the basement."

Lin Yuanran frowned: "It can't be that bad, it's too much like a secret."

"Hurry up, if not, we'll look for it together after you successfully advance."

"it is good."

Lin Yuanran sat down with pleasure, entering a meditative state like an old Taoist priest, attempting to break through the shackles.

Fengling was bored because she really couldn't understand the Chinese characters in the book, but just looking at it was even more boring, so she picked up a book at random and flipped through it for fun.

Strange, is this a poem? She looked at the contents of the book and actually started to think about it seriously.

……

……

Outside Danyang City, there was no more peace. Imperial soldiers, like mad dogs, began their relentless siege, day and night.

The Imperial Army was fierce, but the Chu Army was no pushover either. The two sides attacked and defended, and neither side could gain the upper hand in a short time.

But the real victory or defeat doesn't lie with them.

Aside from the seemingly uneventful confrontation between the Dark Temple and the Floating City, the superhumans in the Battle Arena began to get serious.

Their primary target was the Papal cavalry brought by Lin Yuanran.

Unlike the Dark Temple's half-hearted approach, the Holy See of Light faced off against the main force of the Fighting Arena, resulting in an unimaginable and fierce battle.

The two sides were on the verge of conflict. Countless divine pronouncements swept across the outskirts of Danyang, and immense cosmic energy roared across the wilderness, scorching the earth and causing countless followers on both sides to perish.

An invisible force was drawing the death energy from the corpses of those superhumans, quietly guiding it underground, growing larger and larger, and no one noticed any of it.

On the third day of the battle, Emperor Zhuang personally donned his armor and went to the city wall to boost morale.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor personally take to the battlefield, the Chu army was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were extremely excited and fearless, and for a time, they drove the imperial army that was attacking the city into a series of defeats.

Not far away, in the Allied positions, Henry I, who was also overseeing the battle, had a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Divine Messenger, there's an old saying in the State of Chu: 'To catch a thief, first catch the king.' What do you think?"

Today, the divine messenger, dressed in gray linen clothes again, suddenly appeared and said, "I understand what you mean. You can try, but it's highly unlikely to succeed."

There's always a chance of something going wrong.

"That's right, so He left a long time ago."

As soon as the gray-robed messenger finished speaking, there was an immediate disturbance on the walls of Danyang.

A huge rock suddenly crashed down from the sky, ten thousand meters away from the city wall, with unprecedented speed and force!

The target of that giant rock was none other than Emperor Zhuang, who stood atop the city wall.
