Douluo: Reincarnation of the Other Shore Flower begins

Chapter 216: Winning Over

【215】

Luo Yun nodded and arranged for several Netherworld Guards to stand guard beside the other party.

As time slowly passed, two months had passed after the Yuan energy in their bodies was transformed into spiritual energy.

Seeing that there were still people guarding the area, Lin Dong said to Luo Yun, "Thank you, young lady."

Luo Yun shook her head: "I... I was just following orders."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong also thought of the blonde girl.

That person appears to be the leader of this army.

"The young sect leader said that if you want to learn more about the Great Thousand World, you can go to the Underworld for a visit. If you don't want to know anything about it, you can leave here."

After hearing this, Lin Dong looked at Ling Qingzhu, and only after Ling Qingzhu nodded did Lin Dong say, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Luo Yun nodded and led the two of them toward the back: "It's quite far from the headquarters of the Underworld. It will probably take us about a week to get there."

"so long?"

"This is the time it takes to use the teleportation array. If you're traveling on your own, this time is impossible to estimate..."

"..." Lin Dong.

Is this world really that big?
……

Seven days later, at the Underworld headquarters...

Upon entering the city, Lin Dong sensed that the spiritual energy within was several times stronger than that outside.

Seemingly noticing the subtle change in Lin Dong's eyes, Luo Yun explained, "This place is nothing compared to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the real gathering place of spiritual energy."

"But even this outer city is a level that many places cannot reach."

This has led to the fact that housing prices in Huacheng are exceptionally high.

The closer to the inner city, the higher the price.

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this. If there were such a good place to cultivate in the lower realm, his breakthrough speed would be much faster.

While Lin Dong was thinking about these things, Luo Yun also brought the two of them into the inner city.

The inner city is basically full of people from the underworld. If outsiders want to come in, they either need to be relatives or pay enough fees to be brought in by members of the underworld.

It seems there's no other way.

"Something seems off about these flowers?" Lin Dong asked curiously, looking at the spider lilies that could be seen everywhere in the city.

After listening, Luo Yun explained, "Our sect leader's true form is the other shore flower, and the inner city can have such spiritual power. If it weren't for these flowers, it wouldn't be possible to achieve this effect by relying solely on a large spirit-gathering array."

"I see."

That makes sense, but these flowers probably have more than just the effect of absorbing spiritual energy; they likely have other uses, such as surveillance.

Of course, this was just speculation; Lin Dong himself didn't know whether it actually had a surveillance effect.

……

Upon entering, Luo Yun led Lin Dong and Ling Qingzhu to the living room and naturally stood behind Qian Renxue.

"Please take a seat, both of you."

"Thank you."

As he spoke, Lin Dong pulled Ling Qingzhu to sit to Qian Renxue's left.

"If there's anything else you two would like to know, feel free to ask me. Although I don't know as much as the teacher, I can still answer most questions," Qian Renxue said.

The intelligence network of the Underworld was established long ago, but most of it is located on the Tianluo Continent. Although there are fewer in the outside world, there are still some.

The main problem is that the world is too slow to transmit information, and the world is too big.

By the time intelligence organizations established overseas receive news, it's too late.

Lin Dong thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the Ice Spirit Clan in the Great Thousand World?"

"The Ice Spirit Clan?" Qian Renxue looked at Lin Dong: "That's still a long way off. Even if you are now a Heavenly Sovereign, it will still take you a year and a half to reach the Ice Spirit Clan's territory."

As Qian Renxue spoke, a map of the vast world appeared: "This is where we are, and the Ice Spirit Clan..."

Qian Renxue pointed to the southeast direction on the distribution map: "This is where the Ice Spirit Clan is located."

"..." Lin Dong.

Looking at the distance from west to south, Lin Dong fell silent, but he had a reason to go.

"Thanks for letting me know."

"It's a small matter; you can find out by asking around outside," Qian Renxue said.

Lin Dong smiled and continued to inquire about information regarding the Ice Spirit Clan.

Qian Renxue naturally revealed what she knew.

Seeing that Lin Dong was so concerned about the Ice Spirit Clan, Qian Renxue asked curiously, "You know so much about it, do you have a grudge against the Ice Spirit Clan?"

Many disciples from the Great Thousand Worlds go to the continent below, so it's possible that this one is no exception.

The Ice Spirit Clan disciple offended Lin Dong, who had ascended to this realm, in a lower plane.

“If there is a real grudge, then I think you should not act rashly.” Qian Renxue said softly, “The Ice Spirit Clan is considered a top race in the Great Thousand World. They have dealings with many top forces and also have Heavenly Sovereign experts within the clan.”

"Although you are also a Heavenly Sovereign, you have just completed the transformation of spiritual power and are no match for the Ice Spirit Clan Chief."

"Not to mention, he can summon the Heavenly Supreme at any time."

"Young Sect Master is overthinking it. I have no enmity with the Ice Spirit Clan," Lin Dong said quickly.

However, if the other party doesn't help, then there's probably a grudge between them.

"Don't worry, it's okay if we have a grudge, I won't tell anyone," Qian Renxue said. "If we really have a grudge, we might even be able to help you out."

"???" Lin Dong. "So you have a grudge against the Ice Spirit Clan?" Ling Qingzhu asked after thinking for a moment.

“How could that be?” Qian Renxue shook her head: “We only arrived a few decades earlier than you, and we are so far away from the Ice Spirit Clan. We have no conflicts with them, so how could we have any grudges?”

"Then why do you say that?"

"Just joining in the fun," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"..." Ling Qingzhu.

Is he crazy, just joining in the fun?

Qian Renxue didn't care what Ling Qingzhu was thinking, and continued, "Since there's no enmity, then they must need something from them, but the chances are still slim."

"Why do you say that?"

“Sects are xenophobic, let alone top-tier races like this,” Qian Renxue said.

Lin Dong nodded without explaining anything.

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue also said, "If you want to go to the Ice Spirit Clan, a Spirit-grade Heavenly Supreme is not enough; you must at least be a Celestial-grade."

"I understand," Lin Dong said. "There's one more thing I'd like to trouble the young sect leader with."

"You said."

"I have a few companions who got separated on the way up. I wonder if the young sect leader could help me find them."

"It's nothing, just give me the portrait."

"Thank you." Lin Dong said, and portraits of Little Marten and Lin Yan appeared in the air.

Qian Renxue glanced at Luo Yun beside her and said, "Take this to Sister Xiaoqing and ask her to help me find it."

Luo Yun nodded, made a rubbing of the portrait, and then left the living room, heading towards the back.

"Why don't you two rest in Huacheng for a while? If the person is on the Tianluo Continent, it shouldn't take too long to find them. If they're not on the Tianluo Continent, then we'll just have to rely on luck," Qian Renxue said.

"Thank you for your trouble, Young Sect Master."

Qian Renxue shook her head and told a maid to take Lin Dong to the guest room.

After Lin Dong and the other person left, Qian Renxue sighed. It was basically impossible to win over someone like that.

The person who came up was a Heavenly Sovereign. Such an existence must be a top expert on the continent below, and it is impossible to win him over.

But it's not a big problem. If we can't win them over, we can. Just like the teacher said, a power can only support a few Heavenly Sovereigns. If there are too many, a power can't support them all.

Although the teachers brought back a lot of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, those were their personal items, not items from the Underworld.

The Underworld only receives so much Supreme Elixir each year, so let's leave it at that for now.

"I originally wanted to give the teacher a surprise..." Qian Renxue shook her head and continued to deal with the matters of the underworld.

The teacher has gone into seclusion, so the affairs of the underworld are now on her shoulders.

Fortunately, Void Devouring Flame will help with the matter; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to manage such a large force.

……

Two months later...

Qian Renxue found Lin Dong, who had been in Huacheng for a while, and said, "The two people you are looking for are quite wary and unwilling to come with our people, so you will have to go by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately stood up: "Where are they?"

"With your strength, you should have no problem passing through the Hundred Battles Domain in the Northern Boundary."

"Thank you." Lin Dong clasped his hands in thanks and said, "As a token of my gratitude, I can help you unify the Tianluo Continent."

Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head: "If we really want to unify this Tianluo Continent, it is not a difficult thing. Teacher is just using them to train troops."

Lin Dong nodded: "If the young sect leader ever needs my help in the future, I will definitely be there."

"You're too kind," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

……

After leaving Huacheng, Ling Qingzhu said to Lin Dong, "The sect leader of the Underworld is quite interesting."

"It's probably more than just interesting," Lin Dong said. "Others can't stay in the outer realms for long, but this sect leader of the Underworld has lived in that polluted outer realm for over twenty years..."

"You suspect that this sect leader is an extraterrestrial evil being?"

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Dong smiled helplessly. "What I want to say is that this sect leader is no ordinary person."

They all ascended from lower planes, so they are unlikely to be extraterrestrial evil races.

During his two months in Guangzhou, he learned a lot.

Countless lower planes have been invaded by extraterrestrial evil races, and no extraterrestrial evil race has ever been able to return to the Great Thousand World.

According to the records he read, the rules of the Great Thousand World have an absolute suppressive effect on the extraterrestrial evil races.

This alone proves that the sect leader of the Flower Sect could not possibly be an extraterrestrial evil race.

“Then you don’t need to tell me,” Ling Qingzhu said.

Having ascended to immortality for over forty years, how could he have created such a large power?

……

Hundred Battles Domain...

Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xiao Diao and Lin Yan.

Since they were newcomers, if he hadn't encountered Qian Renxue and the others, he probably would have done his best to resist the conversion of his Yuan energy into spiritual energy.

The process of spiritual energy conversion is like dissipating one's power, and they will naturally resist this feeling with all their might.
