Chapter 1878 - Four Mischievous Little Rascals
Chapter 1878: Four Mischievous Little Rascals
“An Lin, what happened? Where am I?”
Shangguan Yi retreated a couple of steps with a blush on her face as she surveyed her surroundings.
An Lin replied, “This is the Four Nine Immortal Sect!”
“You summoned us to the Four Nine Immortal Sect?” Mo Hai was given a fright upon hearing this.
He was just basking in flames a moment ago, how did he suddenly end up here?
“Could it be… that you have something urgent that you need our help with?” Yang Yuan was the calmest and most collected among the three of them.
An Lin pointed at the four formations below with a resigned expression. “Actually… I didn’t summon you guys. It was most likely the four little creatures in my sea of vital energy that did…”
“Isn’t your sea of vital energy filled with liquid-form vital energy? What’s this about little creatures?” Mo Hai was shocked.
“Well… That’s a long story…” An Lin scratched his head.
“Are those little creatures in your sea of vital energy independent from you? They act on their own? Is this a sea of vital energy or a Small World?” Shangguan Yi was also very shocked. She felt like An Lin had a fake sea of vital energy.
An Lin’s lips twitched. “That’s… an even longer story!”
“Then give us the abbreviated version!” Yang Yuan urged.
An Lin nodded. “Four little Holy Beasts hatched in my sea of vital energy, and they summoned you here…”
“Gasp…”
Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath.
“Could… could you give us some more details?” Mo Hai was aghast.
Holy Beasts were simply too far away from them. Those were beings at the pinnacle of all beast tribes and transcended beyond this world. Even though one of the four great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States was the Vermilion Bird Sect, they were actually only a sect that developed after being blessed by the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird.
An Lin was just about to elaborate when someone else rushed in.
“An Lin! Are you alright?”
An extremely beautiful woman in a jade dress rushed through the door with a concerned expression.
“I’m fine. Why are you here, Xiaolan?” An Lin asked.
“I sensed an indistinct summoning force, so I came here to have a look,” Xu Xiaolan explained.
She then discovered Mo Hai and the others, and her expression faltered before she let loose a cry of surprise. “My God, you guys are the things that fell from the sky? Why are you here?”
“You’ll have to ask your An Lin about that.” Yang Yuan chuckled.
“We were summoned here by the four small creatures in An Lin’s sea of vital energy,” Shangguan Yi explained.
Xu Xiaolan blinked. “Four small creatures.”
An Lin nodded. “Vermilion Bird, Xuan Wu, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon.”
Xu Xiaolan’s eyes widened. “Has your sea of vital energy become a zoo?”
An Lin: “…”
The four Holy Beasts within An Lin’s body suddenly roared in unison and unleashed their powers at the same time, which intertwined to create a new, special power.
This power pierced through the sea of vital energy and merged into the four formations beneath An Lin’s feet, upon which an even more powerful and ethereal aura erupted from the formations.
Shangguan Yi and the others backed away in fear.
They didn’t know what these formations were, and they did not want to be mysteriously teleported elsewhere.
What if they were teleported to their deaths?!
An Lin remained unfazed and surveyed everything taking place around him with a calm expression. He was pretty much invincible at this point, so there was nothing for him to fear.
The formations shrank and converged into an antiquated stone door.
Within the stone door was a vast expanse of a starry sky so boundless that it struck one with a sense of insignificance.
“Is this… a passageway to a mystic realm?” Yang Yuan exclaimed.
“It’s not that simple…” A white light flashed past An Lin’s eyes as he adopted a grave expression. “This door… leads to the outside world…”
“The outside world? You mean it leads to another God of Creation’s world?” Mo Hai asked.
An Lin shook his head. “No… the worlds created by Gods of Creation are like small boxes within a large box. This door leads to the world outside of the Tai Chu Continent, which is the world outside of the big box…”
Everyone was astonished to hear this.
In their minds, the Tai Chu Continent was the most core world and all other worlds were subsidiary worlds to the Tai Chu Continent. As for what lay outside the Tai Chu Continent, there was no information about that.
“Hasn’t this world been sealed by Pangu? Even if a passageway can be created, only a God of Creation should be able to do so.” Xu Xiaolan knew a bit more than the others, but she was still very confused.
“All Holy Beasts are God of Creation Stage beings. Hence, it’s not entirely impossible that four Holy Beasts are able to combine their powers and create a passageway leading to the outside world…” An Lin wasn’t all that surprised.
However, everyone backed away a few more steps.
The unknown often presented some kind of danger.
“So this stone door was created by the four little creatures in your sea of vital energy?” Xu Xiaolan asked.
An Lin nodded.
Mo Hai was quite nervous. “Why would they do that?”
“Maybe they want us to go in?” An Lin stroked his chin.
Everyone backed away even further upon hearing this. They had already made their way out of the room.
An Lin: “…”
Xu Xiaolan remained standing beside An Lin with a hand clasped over her heart. “I feel like something within the door is calling me.”
“Your Vermilion Bird bloodline perhaps?” An Lin mused with a thoughtful expression.
Xu Xiaolan had just rushed over due to an indescribable summoning force.
“So be it, this door was created by the four little creatures within my body, so I’ll go in with you…” An Lin turned to Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan was a little concerned. “But…”
At this moment, a warm and reliable hand had latched onto her own.
“No buts… Chances like this do not come every day. We don’t have time to hesitate.” An Lin spoke with a firm expression, “Don’t forget that I’m invincible now, so we don’t have to fear anything!”
Xu Xiaolan smiled at the sight of An Lin, who was brimming with confidence, and she nodded. “Alright, let’s go in and have a look!”
Thus, the two of them entered the stone door hand-in-hand.
Shangguan Yi, Mo Hai, and Yang Yuan all sighed with emotion upon seeing this.
“They’re so brave. Even in the face of the terrifying unknown, they can still forge on ahead.” Mo Hai sighed.
“An Lin and Xu Xiaolan are extremely powerful, so they naturally have more confidence. We’re nowhere near as powerful, so we should be more cautious,” Yang Yuan remarked.
Shangguan Yi’s eyes shimmered. “It’s actually love that has given them more courage.”
The three of them were still sighing with emotion, but they did not regret their decision.
It was too dangerous to go in. Staying here was the best course of action.
Shangguan Yi smiled. “Let’s wait here for An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.”
Just as her voice faded.
An extremely dazzling light suddenly erupted from the stone door.
The rings on their fingers released balls of light that enshrouded their bodies.
Yang Yuan’s expression shifted. “What?!”
“No!” Mo Hai could sense an irresistible force.
“Crap, it’s the power of the stone door!” Shangguan Yi let loose a panicked cry.
The three of them didn’t even get a chance to run away before they were sucked into the stone door.
