A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Even if it were a reincarnated emperor, or even a resurrected immortal, it wouldn't be possible to achieve this speed!

If he could really do that, he would eat the whole bone that Black King had gnawed on!

Instead of thinking about Master Lin, I should think more about my own affairs.

Before I can break through the four barriers, I need to gather ten million jin of source energy.

Although you can ask Master Lin for help, it's best to collect them yourself if possible.

Ye Fan could easily imagine that if he asked Lin Xiu for help, Lin Xiu would definitely lend a hand, but he would also make him owe something so that he would have to run around and use his Heavenly Emperor destiny to withstand some perilous situations, treating him like a beast of burden.

After using the Source Technique to wreak havoc, Ye Fan had experienced what it was like to be his own boss and no longer wanted to be an employee!

The Holy Body will never be a slave!

There's no way I can work. The only way I can barely make ends meet is by cutting Originium and hoping to get rich overnight.

[My current face has probably been blacklisted by all the major holy sites. To avoid being banned, I need to change my appearance before going to the gambling source again.]

Besides gambling, we can also develop some side businesses. Those holy sons and daughters of those holy lands are all extremely arrogant. If you gamble with them, you're sure to win a fortune.

But...where should we look for those people?

As they pondered, Ye Fan's gaze, like Lin Xiu's, turned toward the gathering place of brothels in the Holy City.

[That's it! Since ancient times, brothels have been places where talented men show off! There's definitely no shortage of suckers who like to show off there!]

Ye Fan felt that he was a true genius.

.......

On the other side, Lin Xiu's side...

Next, Lin Xiu cut open the remaining source stones one by one, copied the Dao essence he needed into the Dao essence space, took some treasures he needed, and threw the rest into the treasure vault of Tianxuan Holy Land.

"Weiwei, I'm entrusting the management of the Tianxuan Holy Land's treasure trove to you. I have faith in your management abilities."

Weiwei pursed her red lips. She didn't know why Lin Xiu had so much confidence in her management skills, even more so than in her.

But, just as Lin Xiu said, she will do her best and will not let Lin Xiu down!

"I am about to go into seclusion. I will leave all matters of the Holy Land to Elder Wei and Weiwei. Little Yezi, you should cultivate diligently and break through to the peak of the Dao Palace as soon as possible."

"Weiwei, you have to keep going. Although you have already broken through to the fourth level, you may not be a match for Xiaoyezi."

Vivi: "........."

"Okay, if there are any problems, I'll let Ye Fan go first."

To be honest, Weiwei didn't care whether Ye Fan was stronger than her; in fact, she thought the stronger Ye Fan was, the better.

Because she had already figured out how to use Ye Fan.

In terms of using Ye Fan like a beast of burden, Weiwei is no less capable than Lin Xiu. It's just a pity that Ye Fan often accompanies Lin Xiu on field missions, leaving her with little room to make a difference.

Fortunately, there was Pang Bo.

Pang Bo is tough and strong, and has been promoted to the position of the Holy Son of Tianxuan Holy Land.

Under Weiwei's arrangement, Pang Bo endured just the maximum amount of brick-moving work he could handle each day, and at night he would work so hard that he would faint, and then enjoy a baby-like sleep.

She didn't even have time to tell Ye Fan that she was suffering.

Chapter 184 Tianxuan's Future, Are You the Vanguard of the Fairies?

For Weiwei, the stronger Ye Fan is, the better.

Because Ye Fan is a member of Tianxuan, the stronger Ye Fan is, the more power and prestige she, the Holy Lord of Tianxuan, will have, although not many people know that she is the Holy Lord of Tianxuan.

Compared to Ye Fan, Weiwei cared more about the demon princess named Yan Ruyu.

I've heard that Yan Ruyu, like her, went through the same process of Lin Xiu's divine medicine and Daoist cultivation to build her foundation, which is why she had the strength to defeat Ji Haoyue.

It is said that it was with Yan Ruyu's company that Lin Xiu visited all the peaks of Tai Xuan and learned the entire heritage of all 108 peaks of Tai Xuan.

I've heard that Yan Ruyu's cultivation level has reached the peak of the Four Extremes, far surpassing my current level of the First Heaven of the Four Extremes.

The only thing that reassured Weiwei was that Lin Xiu had not married into the Qinglian lineage. On the contrary, the Qinglian lineage, like the current Tai Xuan Sect, had voluntarily submitted to Lin Xiu.

With Yan Ruyu around, Weiwei could not possibly place the hopes of the Holy Land on Ye Fan.

The reason is simple: Ye Fan and Qin Yao have an ambiguous relationship, and Qin Yao is Yan Ruyu's maid.

With this relationship in place, Weiwei didn't think Ye Fan would stand firmly on her side.

Most importantly, he must strengthen himself and the Holy Land, making Tianxuan his final resting place.

Weiwei subconsciously looked towards the direction of the restaurant outside the stone archway.

There, there are the Five Elements Light Bodies, the Five Elements Spirit Bodies, and other divine physiques collected by Lin Xiu. These spiritual children represent the future of Tianxuan.

She has the obligation and responsibility to lead them to make Tianxuan Holy Land flourish.

Only in this way can we live up to Lin Xiu's expectations and not let him down.

.......

(Two chapters to finish.)

After dealing with matters concerning the Holy Land, Lin Xiu temporarily left Tianxuan Stone Workshop in order to go into seclusion. He found a quiet place and built a cave dwelling for his seclusion.

"System, activate the time travel function."

[Ding! Time travel function activated!]

[Transmigrating to another world: The Calabash Brothers World.]

[World Type: Minor Thousand Worlds]

[Purpose of Transmigration: To retrieve system components, presumably related to the Heavenly Dao. According to the rules of the Calabash Brothers world, the system components will most likely possess either the Calabash Brothers or a mythical creature related to the Snake Demon.]

Total permitted stay: 1000 days.

[During the 1000 days that the system's power exists, time in the world of Shrouding the Heavens will completely stand still.]

[Once the host has fully gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao of the Calabash Brothers world, they may remain in that world indefinitely.]

However, if the stay exceeds 1000 days, the system's time-stop effect will disappear, and the time flow in both worlds will be completely synchronized.

As the light and shadow shifted, a sense of unease, as if time and space were changing, suddenly came over him. The next instant, Lin Xiu's feet were firmly planted on solid ground.

A refreshing feeling, completely different from that of the Big Dipper Starfield, washed over me. Although the concentration of spiritual energy here was not as high as in the Big Dipper, the Great Dao was much broader and easier for cultivators to break through.

Lin Xiu did not act immediately, but closed his eyes, released his divine sense, and carefully comprehended the "Dao" and "Li" of this world.

The Great Dao of the world of Shrouding the Heavens is grand and vast, full of the aura of conquest, while the Great Dao of this world appears much "simple," with more specific rules and closer to the true nature of the operation of all things in nature.

Lin Xiu stood still, his mind completely immersed in comprehending the rules of this world. Compared to the complex and profound Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens world, the Dao here was more like an open textbook. Although the level was not high, many of the underlying rules were displayed with exceptional clarity.

Lin Xiu seemed to see the veins of the plants growing, hear the rhythm of the mountains and rivers breathing, and feel the "power" of heaven and earth contained in the wind and rain.

This profound experience of enlightenment, so different from other universes, gave him a more nuanced and essential understanding of the great principles such as the Five Elements, Creation, and Cause and Effect. Many key concepts that required arduous comprehension in the world of Shrouding the Heavens suddenly became clear here.

In just half a day, Lin Xiu benefited greatly from this comparative study, and his cultivation level improved subtly. His understanding of the many secret techniques he had learned, especially the great Dao related to nature, was progressing by leaps and bounds.

[If a breakthrough is needed in the future, one can draw upon the principles of this world to gain insights.]

.......

After gaining some insight into the great principles of this new world, Lin Xiu began to get down to business.

"The system components are related to the Heavenly Dao... We need to understand the situation in this realm first and find the key figures or locations."

After a long while, Lin Xiu opened his eyes, a hint of understanding flashing in them.

Just then, an old farmer carrying a hoe came walking by not far away.

"Old man, please wait a moment." Lin Xiu stepped forward and stopped the old farmer.

Because Lin Xiu's attire exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, the old farmer was intimidated by Lin Xiu's demeanor and quickly returned the greeting.

"What are your instructions, esteemed immortal?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Old man, there's no need for such formalities. I'm new to this place and have heard that demons roam here, so I plan to go into the mountains to subdue them. I wonder if you know that hundreds of years ago, a snake demon and a scorpion demon caused trouble in some place and were eventually sealed in Calabash Mountain?"

"Oh? Snake demon and scorpion demon? Calabash Mountain?"

"To be honest, Immortal Master, there really is a legend here about a divine mountain with a gourd that fell from the sky to suppress a demon!"

"Look~ it's in that direction, you can get there in about a hundred miles!"

Lin Xiu nodded: "I see, thank you for telling me, sir."

......

After bidding farewell to the old farmer, Lin Xiu's figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight towards Calabash Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a simple thatched hut appeared. In the open space in front of the hut, a lush gourd vine thrived, climbing on a bamboo trellis. Seven gourds of different colors hung from the vine: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, their shimmering light exuding a vibrant energy.

At this moment, the seven gourds were chattering away, their voices childish yet urgent.

"Big brother! You must save Grandpa! Grandpa has been kidnapped by a demon!"

"Yes! Big Brother is incredibly strong, he'll definitely defeat the demon!"

"Go, go, go!"

"We need to grow up quickly so we can help our older brother!"

"Those demons are despicable! Once we're born, we'll make them pay!"

Lin Xiu walked slowly closer. The gourd vine seemed to sense the approach of a stranger, swaying slightly, and the seven gourds also quieted down, turning towards Lin Xiu.

"Who are you?" the largest red gourd asked warily.

Before Lin Xiu could answer, the red gourd suddenly began to shake violently, and its surface glowed with a burst of red light.

"Oh!"

With a soft pop, the gourd burst open, and a robust boy wearing a red bib and a small gourd on his head jumped out—it was Da Wa. He grew as soon as he landed, instantly transforming into a seven or eight-year-old child with bright, wary eyes staring at Lin Xiu.

"Are you a vanguard sent by the fairy?"

The eldest brother clenched his fist, spoke in a loud voice, and used the same tone as Red Boy.

Lin Xiu shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and remained calm:

"No. I am merely a passerby in this world, and also the reason for your birth."
