Chapter 452: Chapter 452

"Calling someone ’hillbilly’ behind their back, Young Master Lin, might shorten your lifespan, you know."

A soft, girly voice came from behind Linshu, causing him to shiver all over. He turned around with a beaming smile, "Oh my, I didn’t expect the beautiful Lin Hui to arrive. It’s only been a few days, and you’re looking even more beautiful today!"

Lin Hui gave a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, "Oh dear, Young Master Lin, you’re overestimating me. Someone like me, just a bumpkin fox spirit, could never climb to your high branch."

Linshu’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling, "Nonsense, nonsense. It’s nothing more than a trivial task. Would you like me to show you the world?"

Lu Ren couldn’t be bothered with these two old yin-yang people whose ages probably combined to over a thousand years. Mainly, it’s Lin Hui, the demon fox, who contributed a lot to that number. Her current little girl appearance seemed to Lu Ren as nothing but some strange interest of hers.

"I have things to do, I’ll take my leave. You both take your time chatting."

Watching Lu Ren leave without hesitation, Lin Hui and Linshu fell silent, their expressions curious. Their eyes met briefly, revealing an unusual and meaningful gaze in each other’s eyes.

The two stood side by side, quietly watching Lu Ren’s figure disappear around the street corner. After a while, Lin Hui blandly said, "It seems there’s no way out."

Linshu flicked his fan, "The other party is too wary. Just a hint of ill intent is enough to be easily detected."

Linshu sighed, "If we could befriend such a powerful figure, it would truly be wonderful."

Lin Hui shivered at these words, giving him a disdainful look, and then silently moved a few steps away, clearly hinting that the ’friendship’ was more than straightforward.

Linshu didn’t mind, only showing a face full of regret, shaking his head for a while before saying, "Alright, let’s part here. It’s now at a critical point. If I don’t want to completely merge into the madness, this Wang City is one hope. I have to try again; if it doesn’t work, then I’ll consider other options."

Saying this, he frowned with trouble, "I don’t know what’s wrong with this broken world. If I had enough power to venture into other All Heavens World, why would I be racking my brains here with these matters?"

Finding a pure land untouched by pollution, to attain the Human Immortal Path Fruit, then fundamentally transforming life and breaking free from the restrictions of a short-lived race, entering the ranks of long-lived species, wouldn’t that be wonderful.

Lin Hui sneered, "The pollution is already rapidly spreading across the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms. You achieve the Taoism Fruit, but you’ll be a major focus for those things when they return."

Linshu’s expression was calm, "How would you know if you don’t try? Moreover, haven’t those guys been searching for a way out, saying there’s been a breakthrough recently, and results should be out soon?"

Lin Hui scoffed, rolling her eyes without saying a word, apparently knowing well what’s really happening inside.

As for Lu Ren, although he didn’t have much ill feelings towards Linshu and Lin Hui, he didn’t particularly like them either. If he had to gauge feelings, they’d just be strangers.

Moreover, these two seemed to have certain motives, which made Lu Ren quite displeased.

Feeling the restraint of his True Essence firmly sealed within himself, Lu Ren stretched his limbs slightly, then started running like a flying horse. With every step, he could shoot over a hundred meters and, using an exquisite power transmission method on landing, extend the massive recoil power over a ten-meter radius around the landing point. Though it caused a slight ground tremor, it didn’t make much noise.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Ren was back at the towering entrance of Wang City. He glanced at the Divine Warrior on the left, whose true form was revealed after falling rocks during the previous exercise.

The other seemed to sense Lu Ren’s arrival. The Divine Warrior on the left, whose figure was as tall as a small mountain, nearly a hundred meters high, slightly quivered, then opened eyes like searchlights, shooting out intense divine light, and lowered his gaze to Lu Ren.

"I knew you would come back."

Returning here, Lu Ren, with his current realm, observing this Warrior gave him an entirely new feeling.

The other’s state was quite peculiar. He didn’t see any signs of Taoism Fruit condensing behind the other’s head, yet both the physique and Divine Soul gave a sense of qualitative change.

The nature of this qualitative change was somewhat similar to his own, where the Divine Soul became the Primordial Spirit, and the body achieved the Immortal Body, but without condensing the Taoism Fruit, remaining between Immortal Human and Seeking Truth.

This could be called the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm.

But in fact, under Lu Ren’s observation, it wasn’t calculated this way. After entering the Seeking Truth Realm, the path that the other took diverged from achieving the Heaven, Earth, and Human Taoism Fruit cultivation system.

It seemed like a new path to avoid pollution.

But Lu Ren didn’t know to what extent this new path had been walked, or what would happen after entering. What concerned him the most was whether this path had irreparable flaws; this was why he hadn’t entered Wang City.

After all, the Immortal Path Cultivation System extended from the Great Wilderness Era to the Peak of the Mythical Era, reaching perfection. The time spent on its development was unimaginable, with countless lives sacrificing everything, and perhaps many more died for this path.

Hundreds of millions of years accumulated; that would be an unimaginable astronomical number. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovєlFіre.net

Lu Ren pondered, then spoke, "What are the conditions to enter Wang City?"

"I told you, you have the qualification to enter Wang City, no need for Wang Coin to get in."

The Warrior smiled, with a mysterious meaning, "If you fight me, I’ll give you a very useful piece of information. How about it?"

Lu Ren’s expression remained calm. After some thought, he slightly nodded, "How to fight?"

The Warrior was then enveloped in layers of earth-yellow energy, circulating around him, then focused on his body. His hundred-meter tall stature quickly shrank, finally transforming to five meters, like the Giant Spirit God of myths, spreading infinite Giant Strength.

"I won’t deceive you, attack with your full strength; I’ll let you land a punch."

Lu Ren couldn’t help but inwardly critique, yet he didn’t reveal a hint of it, instead joyfully agreeing. He also wanted to see the strength of this Warrior defending Wang City.

When the surrounding people heard someone was challenging the Wang City’s guardian Warrior to a duel, several cultivators momentarily set aside their tasks and gathered in threes and fours to watch.

Lu Ren’s eyes sparkled, scanning the crowd, but he didn’t pay much attention; he had just been looking to see if any cultivator among them was stronger than him.

Unfortunately, after looking around, all he saw was cannon fodder and extra roles.
