Chapter 142: Chapter 0142: A Thing or Two About It, A Thing or Two About It (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Wu Ji was someone who loved meddling in others’ affairs and had a strong spirit of adventure.

Discovering the secret of the Demons.

He would undoubtedly be impatient to explore, and no matter how crippled or incomplete his body was, nothing could stifle his adventurous heart.

"Hold on, fellow cultivator, I’ve had a moment of insight." Lin Fan interrupted Wu Ji’s words to save him from rambling further. After rescuing Wu Ji, Lin Fan planned to leave and inspect the loot. Now that Wu Ji was talking too much, Lin Fan didn’t want to waste time.

Looting was what made things truly interesting.

[Obtained Earth Spirit Root Fragment.]

[Obtained First Grade Thunder Spirit Root.]

Huh!

It even dropped a little treasure. He knew that the most common Spirit Roots were Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. He hadn’t seen others before, which suggested there was someone talented among these Weasel Demons. It was just a pity that their living conditions had doomed them to obscurity.

[Obtained 102 Years of Mana.]

[Obtained Innate Divine Ability: Stench That Overwhelms the Heavens (Pseudo Gold Level).]

[Obtained Immortal Law: Yellow Dao Scripture.]

[Obtained Golden Spirit Root Fragment.]

[Obtained 80 Years of Mana.]

Out of a dozen Weasel Demons, this was all the loot he got. Quite disappointing. It seemed his luck wasn’t great; some didn’t drop anything at all.

But one must learn to be content.

His own mana had reached 884 years, an extraordinarily powerful amount of energy. Within the Heavenly Destiny Realm, he was already considered a peak existence.

[Stench That Overwhelms the Heavens (Pseudo Gold Level): The Weasel Demon’s innate divine ability unleashes a potent toxin that paralyzes anyone who breathes it and keeps them immobile. Furthermore, the stench causes those affected to vomit everything they’ve eaten in the past three days, and it has the power to break through Mana Protection and Gang Qi.]

[Yellow Dao Scripture: The cultivation method by which the Weasel Demon achieved immortality.]

For now, he wouldn’t comment on the cultivation method. Instead, he looked at this so-called innate divine ability. Something felt off, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Farting?

With a sudden "puff," a cloud of poison gas spews out. If released frequently, he couldn’t help but wonder—wouldn’t their backsides end up scorching and painful?

Gradually.

Lin Fan clearly felt changes occurring in his Dantian. The Immortal Path seed radiated pure light, seemingly nourished, and began to blossom. Soon, one petal unfolded.

The Heavenly Destiny passed, and his realm elevated to the Three God Realm.

That petal was equivalent to the "Law," the most fundamental element.

The Three God Realm consisted of three steps:

Fusion of body and law.

Fusion of mind and divinity.

Fusion of divinity and consciousness.

Many people linger at these three steps, spending years—or even decades—in stagnation.

Lin Fan had now perfectly achieved the first step: the fusion of body and mana.

If his prior control of mana had been merely exceptional, now it was at the level of mastery.

Wu Ji noticed Lin Fan closing his eyes to cultivate, thinking something might be wrong. However, when he saw the illusion of Lin Fan’s Immortal Path seed blossoming above his head, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Such flair!

Breaking through even in a place like this?

Moreover, he noticed Lin Fan’s mana was extraordinarily profound. When the Immortal Path seed bloomed, the dense mana ripples it emitted created an astonishing scene.

At this moment.

Lin Fan finished his cultivation. While others might require careful preparation for breakthroughs, Lin Fan crossed the border casually and effortlessly, feeling none of the intense struggles one might expect.

"Wu Ji, it’s your turn to perform now," Lin Fan said.

Wu Ji wanted to respond, "You’re already done? That was way too fast."

However, being the professional adventurer he was, he didn’t dwell on trivial matters. Instead, he approached the stone bed near the wall.

"Lin Fan, when I was bound here, even though I was panicked, I kept note of everything happening around me. Every night, a faint moaning sound would emerge from where the Old Demon slept, along with black energy streaming upward from within the stone bed to aid his cultivation," Wu Ji explained.

"Based on my deduction, there’s definitely something peculiar about this place."

Wu Ji inspected the stone bed, looking left and right, touching here and there, seemingly searching for something.

To Lin Fan, exceptional people always knew other exceptional people. This Wu Ji proved to be resolute and meticulous, remaining calm and composed despite the hardships he’d faced.

If it were someone else in such a predicament, they’d be screaming in agony.

Before long.

"Found it." Wu Ji’s voice echoed.

Lin Fan stepped forward to check. Beneath the beast hide covering the stone bed, a hidden mechanism was uncovered. It looked somewhat like the Five Elements Eight Trigrams formation, though Lin Fan didn’t understand it.

"Hmm, this is the Twelve Constellations Reversal Array, a pretty formidable array," Wu Ji said, describing the array as impressive before adding, "Nonetheless, this small formation is no challenge for me. As long as I break this array, we’ll uncover the truth about these demons."

Lin Fan studied Wu Ji. This fellow was quite showy.

It seemed that all cultivators loved subtly showing off.

Lin Fan stroked his chin, pretending to grasp some profound concept, nodding repeatedly, "Interesting, very interesting."

"Lin Fan, watch closely as I dismantle this array," said Wu Ji as he placed his ten fingers onto the array. The twelve square stones shifted in response to his finger movements.

Lin Fan wondered whether he should spread the rumor about Wu Ji getting his pants torn off by the Old Demon.

This guy was just too smug.

It was mildly annoying.

"Break!"

Wu Ji roared, his fingers radiating light as a destructive aura erupted. The twelve square stones shattered instantly, and the Twelve Constellations Reversal Array was demolished.

Soon after.

The stone bed cracked open, revealing a pitch-black passage. With a whoosh, a fierce black wind erupted.

Wu Ji’s expression changed dramatically as he activated Mana Protection to shield himself from the black wind.

Lin Fan, however, remained unmoved, standing his ground with the protection of his Dao Armor. To him, the black wind was nothing more than a light breeze—refreshing and cool as it brushed against him.

"This demonic energy is quite potent," Wu Ji said worriedly. "Lin Fan, the demonic energy that erupted earlier suggests this place is far from simple. How about we don’t venture down after all?"

Having cultivated to this level, he had developed a sensitivity to danger.

"If that’s the case, then we’ll just leave," Lin Fan replied.

But Wu Ji felt a trace of contradiction in Lin Fan’s tone as he spoke.

Wu Ji asked, "Then, Lin Fan, where are you planning to go?"

"Nowhere in particular. I’ll just wander around Kunyu Mountain a bit. If you have other matters to attend to, feel free to leave," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

Wu Ji hesitated for a moment before replying, "Lin Fan, you’re not planning to go down alone after I leave, are you? If that’s the case, then I must accompany you. You saved my life, and I owe you deeply. Besides, this place is extraordinary and riddled with danger. Having another person means added strength; we’ll go together."

The two exchanged glances, their eyes conveying thoughts clearly without words.

You want to take it all for yourself.

You want to take it all for yourself too.

The more perilous the place, the greater the opportunities. Everyone believed they had immense fortune, capable of turning calamity into blessing and stumbling upon treasures as if fate beckoned them.

A place guarded by a horde of Weasel Demons must undoubtedly hold some treasure.

From this, Lin Fan gained deeper insight into Wu Ji’s nature—though he appeared honest, he was actually quite sly.

"Lin Fan, let’s go," Wu Ji said.

Without further discussion, Wu Ji leapt forward, encased in mana, entering the mysterious dark passage.

Lin Fan was fearless, with his Dao Armor protecting him. Who could challenge him?

If anyone dared, they’d better come out and face him.

Swish!

Swish!

Two beams of light streaked through the pitch-black passage, illuminating it faintly.

Lin Fan speculated that hidden beneath the earth lay secrets. The direction they pursued seemed to lead to an underground world, though he wasn’t sure what awaited them there. Ideally, it would be demons.

The treasure itself didn’t matter much.

Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested in those things.

What truly mattered was encountering enough demons. Everything else was secondary.

Soon.

A faint light emerged below, signaling they were nearing a destination.

Before long.

"Ouch!" A faint cry of pain echoed as Wu Ji grabbed his foot, grimacing in agony. He had landed on a protruding sharp rock, causing pain in his sole. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Lin Fan said, "Wu Ji, can you be more steady? We’re in an unfamiliar place now. Your fussing might attract trouble."

"My apologies, I’ll be more careful," Wu Ji said, clearly embarrassed. This was his first time adventuring with a fellow cultivator, and all he wanted was to make a good impression. Yet, instead of showcasing himself, he kept messing up, leaving him rather exasperated.

Lin Fan sensed something odd underfoot. The ground felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Glancing downward.

He almost let out a gasp. Initially, he thought it was mud, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was flesh—blood-soaked flesh, even coated with patches of fur.

Looking out into the distance, it wasn’t just underfoot. Everywhere was littered with these bloody remains.

Wu Ji also noticed the abnormality of their surroundings. His heart quivered, and his legs went weak. "Lin Fan, have we stumbled into a demonic lair? It’s still not too late to leave. Should we go back?"

Deep down, Wu Ji truly wanted to leave.

But having embarked on an adventure with an outsider, how could he reveal fear? Not only would it disgrace him, but also tarnish his sect’s reputation.

If Lin Fan had been without the protection of the Four Saints Armor and encountered such a scene, he’d have turned tail and left without hesitation. He wouldn’t care about the treasures inside—no matter how enticing, even if there were naked fairies, Lin Fan vowed he wouldn’t linger for even a moment.

But with the Four Saints Armor protecting him, he’d grown overly confident, embracing a reckless mentality, "Without hitting rock bottom, I won’t quit."

"Wu Ji, I’ll speak honestly: you’re better off leaving. This place is at a higher level of danger, and perhaps not suitable for you. Staying here would be a path to near-certain death."

"Hold on, don’t interrupt—I need to finish."

"From observing your face, I see your brow is dark, your eyes lack vitality, and your complexion is pale. These are clear signs of calamity."

Lin Fan spoke with conviction, and Wu Ji listened with bewildered awe.

"Lin Fan, can you truly read faces?"

Wu Ji couldn’t help but inquire. Cultivators trusted such mystical insights deeply. Already unsettled, hearing Lin Fan’s ominous words stirred his anxiety even further.

Remaining calm and composed, Lin Fan replied indifferently, "I’ve dabbled—never been wrong. I can see you’re a straightforward person and wish to prevent senseless death."

Wu Ji touched his face, contemplating the endless path of blood-soaked remains before them, then glanced at Lin Fan again. In the end, his resolve weakened.

"Then I’d better leave," Wu Ji said reluctantly.

He was genuinely terrified.

Though no direct danger had appeared, the eerie surroundings were frightful enough.
