Firefly Journey

Chapter 347 A Gathering of Scoundrels (3)

"Oh, let me introduce you. This group is full of immortals, no doubt about it," said Ziqi Dongliu.

"However, most of us are lurking, only a few of us are active. The dog owner is Brother Yang, you can call him Brother Yang like I do."

That brat who's been spamming the screen is called Li Nezha. He's so annoying, you don't need to pay him any attention.

As for 'Stormy Weather,' he's the only non-deity in our group, from Egypt, named Shu, the ancient Egyptian god of wind and air. My brother thought he had some good fortune, so he brought him in.

"It's just a few of us who are usually active. Oh, and there's also Sister Chang'e, but she's not here today because she has something to do."

Lin Yuanran scrolled through the group member list. There weren't many people, only about ten. According to the administrator, almost half of them were pretending to be dead.

Lin Yuanran deduced a lot of information from the words "purple aura flows eastward".

First of all, mythological figures do exist. After all, Sun Wukong's blow almost killed him, so you have to believe it even if you don't want to.

Furthermore, the same applies to mythological systems abroad, with the wind god Shu serving as evidence.

The True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, the Outer God Shu, and even the Victorious Fighting Buddha are all in this group. How powerful must the one who gathered them together be, the group leader?

As for the administrator, he kept referring to himself as "my brother," clearly indicating he was someone with connections, and his level of understanding wasn't even as high as Lin Yuanran's.

Lin Yuanran scrolled down through the list one by one, and those divers were all household names, renowned and famous.

In the group chat, Ziqi Dongliu continued, "It's true that they are all very powerful, but because they are gods, they generally cannot directly intervene in the mortal world and need to use special means."

Lin Yuanran thought to himself, "Just as I thought. No matter which world it is, any power that is too detached from worldly affairs will be subject to the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth."

Deities are not like those in supernatural tales, who can descend to the mortal realm at will and affect the development of ordinary people; doing so would incur retribution from the heavens.

Lin Yuanran said, "They are gods, but you are not, which means..."

"You're quite clever. I'm only at the late stage of the Kaiyang Realm. It's inevitable that I'll encounter trouble when I'm punishing evil and promoting good. Whenever this happens, I need you big shots to step in!"

Lin Yuanran smirked. What kind of mysterious organization is this that saves the world? That's just your own nonsense.

Considering that she said the group owner is her brother, and that all the experts were brought in by the group owner, it's hard to say that she wasn't acting out of self-interest. It's only because her tone of voice is like that of a child that Ziqi Dongliu didn't notice.

So, the group admin with the grayed-out profile picture is quite a responsible older brother. I just don't know why he pulled me in...

I'm only half a realm stronger than her, and I know absolutely nothing about cultivation. What can I do...?

Lin Yuanran still couldn't find the "Leave Group" button, so he simply decided not to leave. Even if he threw his phone away now, he probably wouldn't escape being pulled back anyway.

Aren't there so many lurkers in the group? Just join them.

Lin Yuanran made up his mind to set the group to mute notifications to avoid being bombarded with messages by that red-haired kid.

After turning off the screen, Lin Yuanran put his hands behind his head and began to think about another problem.

That day, in the basement of the Chu State branch church, he entered the illusion of Laozi and drank a cup of divine tea, thus elevating his realm to a higher level.

According to that diary, after Laozi recovered from his injuries, he should have returned to his original world. So, was it his doing that I was dragged into the rotten fish and shrimp gang?

But I've never heard of Him having a sister...

This is mind-bending, really mind-bending!

Lin Yuanran originally thought that he could live a peaceful life after returning, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen immediately, just like when he transmigrated to the Pan-Ancient Continent. It was all based on guesswork.

What should you do if you encounter a problem that you can't solve?

We have to deal with whatever comes our way; we can't neglect eating and sleeping.

As the May Day holiday drew to a close, Lin Yuanran did nothing but stay at home with his parents.

The most urgent task is to figure out the cultivation system of this world, so that we can follow the clues and continue on our path until... the day when the void is shattered.

Lin Yuanran tried circulating his magic power. He could use the divine oracle, but his magic power could not increase. In other words, if he could not find a way to integrate with the local magic power, he would never be able to cultivate.

After realizing this, he felt somewhat fortunate that the group leader had pulled him into the immortal group; otherwise, he would have wasted a lot of time just searching for the fusion method.

On the night before the holiday ended, Lin Yuanran opened the group chat.

Just then, Ziqi Dongliu shared something in the group.

"A group of tomb raiders were caught, but it was discovered by fellow Daoists that the ancient tomb was actually the place where a powerful expert in the Divine Realm fell."

This matter has now spread throughout the Great Xia cultivation world, and cultivators from all walks of life are flocking here, hoping to get a share of the spoils from that ancient tomb. After all, even a single relic from a Transcendent Realm cultivator could bring us immense benefits.

A professional dog breeder shared his opinion: "That's a real pity. He was just one step away from reaching the Divine Realm, which would have allowed him to cross the Heavenly Gate, trigger the tribulation lightning, and then truly become a member of our Immortal Sect."

Lin Yuanran silently took notes of the key points...

It seems that the Divine Realm is the final stage in Earth's cultivation system. I just don't know what level my current Void Travel Realm is at...

Kuangfengzhouyu said, "Sister Zi, do you still need those few things? If you need anything, just ask the group leader to send them to you. If that doesn't work, listen to me, send me some local specialties from the mortal world, and I'll give you a few top-quality magical artifacts."

“You don’t understand!” Zi Qi Dong Liu retorted. “My brother said he wouldn’t interfere with me; he would handle his own affairs personally. After that ancient tomb was exposed, it was occupied by the local Huo Yun Sect.”

However, due to pressure from other sects, they dared not claim it all for themselves, fearing that they would be attacked by all of them.

The major sects agreed to open the ancient tomb for three days only, allowing only juniors below the Jade Pool Realm to enter and seize treasures. To demonstrate fairness, they even extended invitations to all independent cultivators to enter as well.

Nezha, the master of flooding social media, has reappeared. This time, however, he didn't cause any trouble; his tone was extremely disdainful.

"That sounds nice, but those rogue cultivators have no connections or resources. Even if they get in, what can they get? They'll only be stepping stones for those sect disciples!"

If it weren't for the Heavenly Laws holding me back, I could have wiped out those sects just from this news!

The professional dog owner said, "Brother, calm down. You can't stand the arrogant behavior of those mortal sects, but so can I."

Since Xiao Zi shared the news, it proves she's going. With that, there's no need to worry about not having a chance to show her skills.

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately understood and happily sent out dozens of emojis, only to be banned from speaking again.

Kaiyang, Xuyou, Yuchi, Tongshen—Lin Yuanran listed the known realm names in his mind.

Lin Yuanran was very nervous. He wanted to ask the experts in the group about cultivation, but he felt he didn't know them well enough to ask.

Just when he was in a dilemma, what Ziqi Dongliu said next made his eyes light up.

"I'm afraid I'm no match for those sect disciples by myself. I've gathered a group of low-level rogue cultivators, and I'll give them a little shock when the time comes."

Lin Yuanran timidly raised his hand in the group chat: "Um... can I apply to be a fellow traveler?"
