Chapter 768 - 771: 33 Heaven Tower

Having explained everything, Jin Nuo turned around and left.

The Blue Whale swam away, skillfully slicing through the waves with a flick of its tail.

With Jin Nuo gone, the remaining students formed their own groups spontaneously.

Heaven Class people were together, Earth Class people were together, and Huang Class people were together.

Lin Zhen stood in the Earth Class group, and besides him, the other seven were all Three Flowers Realm Martial Artists.

One of them, a martial artist named Huang Zun, said: “Fellow classmates, we’ll all be in the same class from now on. I hope we can unite and not be bullied by those seniors.”

The others nodded in agreement. After arriving at the Holy Land, they would be the new and inexperienced newcomers, definitely in a vulnerable position compared to the seniors.

Lin Zhen also thought so. Inside the Holy Land was also the Martial Artists World, and as long as it was the Martial Artists World, strength was supreme. It was inevitable that they would be bullied as newcomers.

“How about I host a gathering tonight at Changtian Pavilion in Qin Kingdom? The eight of us can get to know each other better.”

Huang Zun was the one with the best performance among all the Earth Class students. Although he had lost to the Heaven Class students, he only lost by one move. He was eager to surpass them and enter Heaven Class by this time next year.

According to his performance, among the eight Earth Class students, he had the intention of being the leader.

The others remained silent, not responding. Every one of them who had come this far was proud, and no one was willing to be subordinate to others.

Lin Zhen was the first to speak: “I don’t have time right now. Tomorrow I’ll enter the Holy Land. Today, as you all saw, I have so many supporters here, so I need to be with them. I have to decline.”

After saying this, Lin Zhen turned and left. Xuan’er and the others were still waiting for him.

Watching Lin Zhen leave, Huang Zun had a disdainful look on his face: “Just an excuse. What’s the point of staying with ordinary martial artists when we are all Earth Class students in the Holy Land?”

Lin Zhen didn’t bother to see if the other Earth Class students would also take action. He returned to his supporters.

“Brother Lin, we talked to sister-in-law, today is your big day, and we have to celebrate properly. Today we’re gonna treat you as a rich man since you have the money.”

Zhao Xiaoman spoke confidently. Lin Zhen chuckled: “Alright, today everyone goes to the best restaurant in Qin Kingdom, and no one leaves until they’re drunk!”

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and they headed back to Qin City in a large procession.

There were plenty of restaurants in the Original World that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Lin Zhen booked thousands of tables and treated his supporters.

Although the people of Qin Kingdom despised Lin Zhen, the current situation was different from before.

Lin Zhen, as an Earth Class student of the Holy Land, was not to be offended casually by ordinary people.

Qian Tong, as the National Master of Qin and the only Saint-Level Alchemist in the Original World, was extremely prestigious and exalted. However, because he had interfered once during the competition, he remained in the Holy Land and hadn’t returned yet.

Offending the Holy Land would cause significant trouble, even for a Saint Master like Qian Tong.

Qian Tong’s status in Qin Kingdom was on par with the Emperor, and if even he couldn’t afford to offend the Holy Land warriors, let alone others.

So no matter how flamboyant Lin Zhen was in Qin, the people dared not express their anger and would try to avoid him as much as possible.

The Holy Land was the most potent protective talisman for martial artists, and those who didn’t want to die wouldn’t dare to ignore the significance of these two words.

During the feast, it was as if everyone had returned to their days in the New World.

Everyone had come from the New World and drank happily, reminiscing about the past.

Hearing the enthusiastic discussions about the New World, Ning Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes blinked non-stop.

“Husband, when will Sister Su Mingyue and Sister An Ning come?”

“Well, after a while, I suppose. To ensure their absolute safety in the Original World, I must advance to the Longevity Realm and achieve something in the Holy Land. Otherwise, it would do more harm than good to them.”

Lin Zhen missed his family as well. He couldn’t go back to the Original World, the New World, and the Dimensional Universe because they couldn’t interconnect. He missed his parents, his wife, and his children but couldn’t return for now.

The price of the Wormhole Egg was 300 billion, which Lin Zhen didn’t have at the moment. However, once the opportunity arose, earning 300 billion for a Level 7 Alchemist wasn’t an unattainable goal.

“What about Little Phoenix? She’s not too far away from here.”

Lin Zhen nodded, indeed it was time to bring Little Phoenix. After settling down in the Holy Land, he would do so.

At this moment, Long Juetian suddenly said, “Brother Lin, it seems Miss Feng Qingluan has gone to the Twin Trees Garden Holy Land.”

“Gone to Twin Trees Garden?” Lin Zhen was taken aback, as he didn’t know about this news.

“Why are you just telling me now? What’s going on?”

Long Juetian glanced at Ning Qingxuan: “I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet.”

“It’s alright, Qingxuan isn’t the narrow-minded kind of woman, you can speak freely.”

“I’ve heard that the Star River Giant Beast Alliance recommended people to participate in the Holy Land selection. The Phoenix Clan was given only two spots. One went to Jun Mo, but he didn’t perform well in the Holy Land. The other went to Feng Qingluan. However, she went to Twin Trees Garden Holy Land, and it seems that she has also entered the Holy Land. You can check for more details.”

Lin Zhen hurriedly searched for information on the Twin Trees Garden Holy Land.

Suddenly they found that among the Holy Land in the Twin Trees Garden, Feng Qingluan entered the Yellow Class!

Lin Zhen very much wanted to speak with Little Phoenix, but unfortunately, he did not have the dimensional universe number for the other party.

Long Juetian continued: “I happened to meet Miss Feng by chance, and she asked me to relay a message to you.”

“What message?”

“She said she won’t lose to anyone beside you, and when the time comes, you two will meet each other.”

Lin Zhen remained silent for a while, he knew that Feng Qingluan would not be content with mediocrity, especially after Ning Qingxuan appeared, little phoenix might have been stimulated.

Proud as she was, she would not allow herself to lose to any other woman, no matter who it was.

Ning Qingxuan’s eyes flickered upon hearing these words: “What a prideful little sister. I’m quite looking forward to the day I get to meet her.”

Lin Zhen coughed and pretended not to have heard Ning Qingxuan’s words. He raised his glass to the others and said, “Thank you all for your support. Let’s down this drink!”

It was five hundred apiece for the top-quality Snow Burning drink, consumed by ten thousand people.

With one gulp, it went down to five million!

*********

On Star-Picking Island, Jin Nuo was consulting his teacher in the dimensional universe.

Or rather, the one answering him was not really his teacher, but his teacher’s intelligent lifeform.

Very similar to Lin Zhen’s Chris, the master of Falling Star Lake had an intelligent life form that appeared to be a gorgeous young woman in her twenties.

In fact, Jin Nuo had no idea where his teacher actually was, and he hadn’t seen him in tens of millions of years. Every time he would inquire, it was this intelligent lifeform that would receive him, but it did represent his teacher’s will.

“Jin Nuo, what is the matter?”

“Teacher, it is regarding this year’s Holy Land Selection.”

“The Holy Land Selection takes place every ten years. It isn’t a particularly special occasion so there’s no need to report it to me; you can handle it.”

“Teacher, a World King named Lin Zhen has entered the Earth Class.”

“Oh! A World King? And he entered the Earth Class?” The gorgeous young woman wore a black leather outfit that showed off her shapely figure. Sometimes Jin Nuo wondered if his teacher created this intelligent lifeform for some entertainment.

The young woman pondered: “There have been precedents of World Kings entering the Four Great Sacred Lands, but those happened in ancient times. After the widespread availability of Longevity and the Three Flowers, World Kings had almost no chance.”

“Even those rare instances involve the entry into the Huang Class or Hong Class. This direct entry into the Earth Class is the first time.”

“Yes, that’s why I found it important enough to report to you, teacher. Besides, Lin Zhen has suffered multiple unfair treatments: the first time was within the Holy Land, when Blackbone, the Locking God Warrior whom I captured, was released by someone and controlled to assassinate Lin Zhen. However, Blackbone’s form and spiritual essence were destroyed, and it’s not yet clear who was responsible.”

“Another was Qian Tong, the National Master of Qin and the Saint-level Alchemist, who attempted to scheme against Lin Zhen but failed. I have now ordered Qian Tong not to leave the Holy Land. What should we do, teacher?”

“Saint-Level Alchemist….”

The beautiful young woman thought for a moment: “The Holy Land is located at Falling Star Lake, within the Qin Kingdom. Qian Tong holds great power in the Qin Kingdom, so we must give the Qin people some face. Thus, punish him by having him refine elixirs in the Holy Land for a hundred years, and all of them will belong to the Holy Land. He may only leave after one hundred years when Lin Zhen and his batch of students have departed.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“As for the unfair treatment Lin Zhen received, we were ultimately negligent in some aspects. You can occasionally give him some guidance to help him progress more quickly.”

“Is this also the teacher’s opinion?” Jin Nuo looked bewildered as he hadn’t expected this response and suspected that it was the intelligent lifeform’s initiative rather than the teacher’s opinion.

“Jin Nuo, are you questioning my command?” The gorgeous young woman’s voice suddenly changed, becoming full of immense power!

Feeling the tone of her voice, Jin Nuo shuddered, and immediately knelt down: “Jin Nuo dare not!”

“Jin Nuo, do you know how much your eldest brothers and sisters shine now?” The voice returned to the soft, gentle tone of the young woman.

Jin Nuo’s expression immediately became envious. In truth, in the Holy Land, the only person in charge was him, therefore he had to personally take care of these matters.

This was the rule of the Holy Land: when there are junior brothers, all hardship falls on them, and the seniors can run away and enjoy themselves.

“Don’t you want to be like them?”

Jin Nuo now understood his teacher’s intentions, “I understand, teacher. But whether it is possible or not depends on his luck since the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower is simply too difficult to climb.”

“Indeed. Speaking of which, ever since you joined fifteen million years ago, there have been no newcomers. The Holy Land has indeed become quite deserted.”

The beautiful young woman sighed then revealed a bewitching smile: “Alright, my master can’t leave without me. I’ll be leaving first!”

“I shall see you off, Teacher!” Jin Nuo bowed //.

After exiting the dimensional universe, Jin Nuo gazed into the distance.

At the very top of Star-Picking Island, reaching into the depths of the starry sky, stood a lofty tower.

This tower was named the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. It was said to have stood here since the birth of the Original World, and it was the foundation of the Holy Land!
