Chapter 304 - Grandmaster Lin, Ye Xiaobei Hasn’t Arrived Yet (1/2)

Translucent lights pa.s.s through the chaotic s.p.a.ce. Mist blocks the sunlight. People can only see things a few meters away. Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha sit cross-legged on the ground, together with Goldie and the cyan little fox.

To their surprise, they are the first team that gets back.

The loss of the ancient book of the monsters of wood at the last moment is a severe blow to Lin Luoran. Although her moral mind is tough, she feels sad and regretful for a long time. Mrs. Lin has already been fifty years old this year. Although she looks young, other schools regard a woman beginning to practice cultivation at her age as a waste of resources. Cultivation is a race with time. Lin Luoran feels a little bit helpless.

Yang Lisha presses her lips tightly and doesn’t say a word. She wants the Soul Wood badly. If they hadn’t gone on the strange trip to Babylon a, she would have forced Lin Luoran to give her the Soul Wood even though she didn’t find the ancient book of the monsters of wood. Why did the mysterious Tower of Babel choose Lin Luoran as the princ.i.p.al test-taker? Apart from attending the wedding of Babylon’s king, why did the tower send them to more than 2,600 years ago? What is the aim?

As a monster, Yang Lisha’s humanized life is much shorter than that of the powerful monsters who are thousands of years old. However, this does not mean that she is stupid. At least, she is more knowledgeable than Lin Luoran. The unusual decision of the Tower of Babel sounds the alarm for Yang Lisha.

She doesn’t know what is special about Lin Luoran, but she knows she’d better not try to rob the Soul Wood from Lin Luoran unless she has to.

“We seem to get nothing from the trip to Babylon, right?” The atmosphere is too embarra.s.sing. Yang Lisha has to say something to break the silence.

Lin Luoran thinks for a while and shakes her head, “No, we still got something.”

The trip lets them know that the fake saintess is from the alien world. It also allows Lin Luoran to try the translation plug-in that the woman surnamed Ji put in her spiritual mind. Lin Luoran is thinking about finding the crazy Taoist and discusses how they should deal with the fake saintess under the Kalahari Desert. There will be severe consequences if the fake saintess takes the knowledge of cultivation on the earth to other planets. Lin Luoran suddenly thinks about a weird thing. If the fake saintess mistook Lin Luoran for an alien traveler 2,600 years ago, she definitely knows Lin Luoran after the whole incident, so why didn’t the fake saintess recognize her when they met in the 21st century?

Is it because the time difference or something happens in the Tower of Babel after she and Yang Lisha get back?

Now that the true function of the Tower of Babel has already been discovered during the Spring and Autumn period, have the senior cultivators on the earth gone to other planets through the tower? Where are they now?

If it wasn’t for Yang Lisha’s presence, Lin Luoran would have taken out the jade stairs to find out.

The star atlas carved on the dome of the Tower of Babel is the same as the pattern on the first step of the jade stairs. If the star atlas on the first step can already allow the power of stars to be used, what about the second step? Can it do interstellar transmission by reversing time and s.p.a.ce?

Lin Luoran holds the sacred pearl on her wrist. This is the second time she sees the man in robe in her dream.

The first time was when Baojia was in critical condition. Lin Luoran used up the Reiki in her body and still couldn’t save Baojia. A strange force controlled Lin Luoran’s body after she fainted. The force helped her draw a golden pattern with immense power. Was it a magic figure? Lin Luoran’s instinct told her it was more powerful than the magic figures of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple. Considering Baojia’s health condition at that time, the golden pattern Lin Luoran tried her best to draw was far more powerful than the healing ability of people in the branch of the Wood. It was not exaggerating to say that the pattern brought Baojia back to life.

Lin Luoran saw scenes from The Cla.s.sic of Mountains and Seas in her dream after she fainted: the back of the man in robe, the sacred pearl on her wrist, the golden pattern she drew in the air, and the glance from afar stinging her spiritual mind.

From then on, she knew that the man was someone who she couldn’t look directly at, at least for now.

And then, it is this time. Lin Luoran keeps stepping back as the fake saintess pushes her to the corner. She sees the man in the white robe exploring the starry sky. She also sees a strange planet that regards green as the n.o.blest color. Although Lin Luoran doesn’t know where this planet is, it definitely has more advanced technologies than the earth. Technologies on the earth fell so many years behind at that time, how about the situation now?

When Lin Luoran sees the man in robe this time, she suddenly understands the strange language that the fake saintess called the “interstellar standard language”.

The times when the man in robe shows up are not necessarily related. Lin Luoran slightly moves her fingers and remembers the mysterious golden pattern.

When Yang Lisha sees that Lin Luoran is absent-minded, she doesn’t bother her. Instead, she closes her eyes to rest.

After a long while, the mist is disturbed. Yang Lisha and Lin Luoran both open their eyes and see two men coming to them while complaining to each other. Xi Heng and Chen Yun come!

To Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha’s surprise, the two men who dislike each other the most finish their test first.

“Fellow cultivator Xi, did you find anything?” Lin Luoran stands up and asks.

Chen Yun is irritated, “Xi Heng, if you cared more about the big picture, we could have got the Foundation-laying Bolus! ”

Xi Heng rolls his eyes and ignores him. In terms of the details of their test, Lin Luoran knows that the stone gate Xi Heng and Chen Yun entered led them to a ruined cave house. The two men were tormented by the inhibition left in the house. They fought all the way out and found the treasures left by ancient people. The two men can fight together, but it doesn’t mean they can cooperate well. Since they dislike each other, they didn’t get anything that looked like the Foundation-laying Bolus.

Although Xi Heng complains, he doesn’t actually blame Chen Yun. Only when Lin Luoran feels surprised about that, does Xi Heng tells her the truth. They triggered the inhibition when the test was almost over. It was Chen Yun who grabbed Xi Heng firmly and pulled him out even though Chen Yun might lose his life. Although Chen Yun did this because it is forbidden to abandon teammates in the tower, it still slightly changes how Lin Luoran thinks of Minister Chen.

It is not easy to be an official and manage a group of arrogant young cultivators. Chen Yun must think it’s hard too, so he becomes slick and only seeks wealth. When Lin Luoran stands in his shoes, everything makes sense. Nevertheless, Lin Luoran will never forget how Chen Yun and other officials tried to force the Lins to surrender. If it weren’t for Zou Yaowei, she would have needed to fight against the whole world of cultivation after she got back.

Lin Luoran puts away these thoughts and asks about Xi Heng’s experience in the ruined cave house. After them, the next team may return very soon.
