Chapter 415: Hooking up With Your Sister [1]

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The stars within the star system surged onwards—this seemingly vast and magnificent scene was actually a manifestation of different viewing angles.

If they were to zoom out and glance at the entire cosmos, what would these small stars amount to? They were extremely minuscule and even negligible.

All in all, the vast cosmos was deathly silent and filled with eternal darkness. There was no sound, no life, only cold loneliness.

Although there were many galaxies in the vast universe, sometimes it was difficult to find a vital body. Most of them were still in a desolate state following the big bang from countless years ago.

At this time, a certain chariot was galloping through the starlight at a leisurely pace. It traveled along an unknown path towards a remote and uncivilized corner of the starry skies.

Almost inconceivably, the chariot was fading in and out. It jumped through a wormhole, traveled through the starry sky and then selected a new wormhole as it sped into the distance.

This was quite astonishing. Even though the person wasn't traversing the ocean of stars with his own power, it was quite extraordinary to be able to travel along the paths constructed during an ancient era.

It was a heavenly stallion with a golden body and long hair comparable to a lion's mane. It was tall, mighty, extremely spirited and looked like a divine lion whenever it shook its head!

It was pulling a chariot of the same color and appeared dazzling. It stepped through the sky and crossed through a wormhole to finally arrive at its destination.

"Have we arrived?" A man spoke from atop the chariot—his voice sounded rather young. He alighted from the chariot, stood within the starry skies and looked down at the surroundings.

There was a blue planet below him spinning slowly as it encircled the sun. It was earth.

The divine-lion-like heavenly stallion had arrived in the area drawing a chariot and carrying a certain man who was now looking down at the planet before him!

He was clad in a dull and lusterless golden battle armor. Additionally, his body was concealed by a layer of grey mist.

At the same time, a roaring single-horned bear covered in earthen yellow scales clambered out of a nearby wormhole. It was dragging a bronze chariot on which stood a man dressed in bronze battle armor. A large part of his body was also suffused in mist as he stood there looking down at the earth.

Beside that long-maned divine stallion, the man in dull golden battle armor said, "Oh, Qing Lan, you've come."

The yellow-scaled single-horned bear emitted a spiritual howl which shook the entire outer space. The man atop the chariot it was drawing responded with a slight nod and returned the greeting, "Brother Yang Xuan."

The two mysterious chariots and two mysterious men had come from a thriving part of the cosmos and appeared in space outside of earth. Anyone who sensed them would definitely be astonished.

But the nearby space surveillance equipment had all been disabled and could no longer sense them.

"The two of us can only stand guard here to prevent accidents. In truth, there's nothing else we can do except watch," said Yang Xuan, the man in dull golden armor said.

"I was sent here for penal service." Qing Lan's hair floated as he looked down on earth, his bronze armor simple and unadorned.

Although he had arrived here with the help of a wormhole, arriving at this corner region of the cosmos on one's own was an astonishing feat.

Yang Xuan nodded. "This planet is truly odd. Are there any younger generation people from your tribe seeking fortunes on this planet that was once ranked 11 in the cosmos?"

Qing Lan shot him a glance and said, "You have a saintess clan sister from your tribe down there, right?"

Yang Xuan's expression suddenly stiffened because he was even older than that saintess' grandfather. This seniority caused his expression to become stupefied and only said after some time, "She took the star passage through Mount Yandang."

Afterwards, they both produced an item each.

The bronze armored man, Qing Lan, brought out a jade-like silver eyeball and said, "This is a divine item left behind by a virtuous elder with great attainments in clairvoyance."

It was called clairvoyance when, in fact, its abilities weren't limited to projecting scenes tens of thousands of kilometers away. This extraordinary and peerless object could pierce through all fabrications.

Yang Xuan also brought out a lustrous golden ear and said, "This was left behind by an ancient golden arhat who achieved great attainments in clairaudience."

At that same moment, they began to pierce through myriad objects as the eye and ear began to display their powers.

Within moments, they saw the many battleships near Neptune and Mars seemingly searching for something. The golden ear could even receive some bizarre fluctuations.

"The machine race is indeed extraordinary. Are they searching for a shortcut to enter earth in one go? I heard that there exists on earth some broken branches of a certain supreme tree from which the machine race originates."

Reportedly, the machine race came to be when some pollen from a divine tree fell upon a certain metal, granting it sentience and spirit. Recently, the race had evolved rapidly and developed into a brilliant civilization.

"It's not just the machine race, there are also other entities working together with them in an alliance. They're planning to analyze earth's domains and find a loophole."

As the dao fruit crystallization of an ancient clairvoyant and clairaudient, one had to admit that the silver eye and the gold ear were truly frightening.

They were actually able to see through certain things from such a distance.

Afterwards, they shifted their attention and utilized the silver eye and golden ear to observe the earth and collect various information.

The two crystallizations emitted faint ripples which posed no destructive power or threat and were thus undeterred by the killing domains on earth.

"Interesting, an important character has risen from among the natives. Did you hear it? Among the chaotic noise of clairaudience, there's mention of a man who eliminated the troops from an entire dynasty." Yang Xuan was astonished.

The bronze armored Qing Lan nodded. "This is truly unexpected. Let me use my clairvoyance to see if I can find this special person."

After a long time, Qing Lan said in astonishment, "What a coincidence. I saw a group of people who have trained in the first two levels of the Golden Bodhi Breathing Technique. They can form the image of a golden bodhi when attacking. They're likely soldiers from your race and should be your saintess clan sister's subordinates."

At the mention of this clan sister, Yang Xuan's expression froze again. Although he could be considered rather young from the viewpoint of a cultivator, he was much older than this so-called sister. He was even a few years older than her grandfather. This hierarchy was simply too terrible!

"Oh, those who know your race's breathing technique are quite unlucky and seem to be getting beat up by a native. Come and see." The bronze armored man Qing Lan said with evil intentions.

Yang Xuan focused his vision and activated his golden ear towards that location.

Using two dao fruit crystallizations was clearly quite demanding on the body because there was simply too much static that needed to be excluded.

Without sufficient power, the user's spirit might even collapse from the impact.

Even so, he selectively focused on the evolvers' voices and rejected the sound waves from other life forms.

At the same time, he locked onto a special region and focused on a single target. This lessened his burden by quite a bit.

Qing Lan said with an expression of Schadenfreude, "Interesting, the man beating them up is called Chu Feng, that native who annihilated the dynasty from the star passage on Mount Lao. He's now targeting people from your race."

At first, Yang Xuan was still expressionless, but it soon turned quite unsightly after hearing the conversation between the native and those who knew the Golden Bodhi Breathing Technique.

"Saintess from the Mount Yandang star passage? Damn her grandpa!"

It was actually such a conversation. Yang Xuan's expression darkened because that sister's grandpa was also his grandpa. That native had even included his whole lineage in his curse.

Qing Lan smiled as he looked on at the liveliness.

Yang Xuan said with a dark expression, "The one being beaten up is my clan sister's subordinate."

On earth, Yang Lin felt quite aggrieved. He had acted slightly tough while inviting this native to Mount Yandang to meet their saintess, but he was directly beaten up.

This couldn't be blamed on him. Who told this native to use the term "such an entity"? Such a tone was truly lacking in friendliness. One had to know that the orthodoxy behind this saintess was boundlessly terrifying. They had saints with flourishing vitality who had survived throughout the ages. How could people not respect a saintess from such an orthodoxy?

Thus, Yang Lin responded with a harsh tone and corrected the native's words. In the end, he was struck by misfortune—he couldn't beat this ferocious native with his strength at ten severed shackles. He wasn't only beaten blue and blue but also ridiculed.

"Look at all the lumps over your body and that meaty silver wing. You must be from the winged yaksha race, right?" Chu Feng asked.

Yang Lin retaliated with all his might. Even though he was being beaten up quite badly, he was still circulating the Golden Bodhi Breathing Technique and was surrounded by golden bodhi energy as he resisted the assailant.

"I am from the yaksha Race!" He admitted confidently.

"You really should be beaten up. I'll beat you to death!" said Chu Feng. This man wasn't just impolite, but was also planning to bring him to see a yaksha saintess!

Although he was quite bold in saying that he would hunt down fairies and divine ladies, he would definitely have to run away if it was a female yaksha. He couldn't afford to provoke such an entity.

Yang Lin said furiously, "Why should I be beaten up just because I'm from the yaksha race?"

"That's because you're too horrible. You actually want me to go meet a female yaksha!" Chu Feng shouted in anger.

He acknowledged certain relevant legends and felt that they were quite reasonable after experiencing things himself. In the face of a creature like a female yaksha, it was best to run as far as possible.

In outer space, Yang Xuan's countenance began to twitch and turn dark. Their race was of a noble bloodline. When did it become a yaksha race?

On earth, Yang Lin felt extremely aggrieved after hearing this and said angrily, "The saintess is of a different race. I'm but a follower. Her position and identity are inconceivably superior. She comes from a saint race capable of looking down on the entire sea of stars!"

"So she's not a female yaksha? You should've said this sooner. I've always wanted to hunt… ahem… befriend an outer-realm saintess or fairy," said Chu Feng.

Additionally, he asked, "Is your saintess' race human-shaped?"

"Haha…" In outer space, the bronze armored Qing Lan broke out in laughter. He turned to Yang Xuan and said, "This native is somewhat interesting. It seems he plans to court ladies and has set his eyes on your clan sister."

Yang Xuan looked down with a dark expression and said, "First he curses my grandfather and then questions our race. Now he's blaspheming against my saintess clan sister. Wait till I descend and beat up this despicable native!"

"Haha…" Qing Lan laughed in a carefree manner.

On earth, Yang Lin was feeling quite sullen and awkward. What kind of words were these? What human-shaped? Was this question truly necessary?

"Our saintess is a peerless beauty who's resplendence illuminates the entire starry sky with countless heroes bowing before her. She came to this planet in goodwill and thus doesn't want to clash with people like you. Hence, the invitation to this meeting."

"Not bad." Chu Feng nodded and asked, "Where is your saintess?"

"Within Mount Yandang," Yan Ling replied.

Mount Yandang!

Chu Feng was astonished because this was one of the three mountains from the three mountains and five peaks. The star passage connecting to this mountain was absolutely not simple.

He became cautious!

Only at this point did Chu Feng's emotions calm down. Before this, his thoughts were hovering in the air and floating like rootless duckweed—people like Yellow Ox, black yak, and Lin Naoi had left him in succession. He might never be able to meet them again after being separated by life and death. This put him in a terrible mood.

He had given in to his emotions along the way. He felt upset the moment he saw this group of extraterrestrials and thus had beaten them all up as he went.

Chu Feng didn't go to Mount Yandang because he didn't want to ask for trouble. Since these so-called followers were all experts at the tenth level of the shackled realm, that saintess would naturally be unfathomable.

At least, she still didn't dare walk out of the folded space. This was already a clear indication that her evolutionary level was extremely high.

Chu Feng decided to go and evolve first and urgently power himself up. He would open up the ritual grounds of various famed mountains.

Before leaving, Chu Feng stomped on Yang Lin once more and said, "Don't block my way. I'm busy today so I'll go meet her next time."

Yan Lin was burning with rage, but he really couldn't contend with this Demon King Chu. After calming down, he was actually somewhat thankful because he had long since heard that those who fell into this violent demon king's hands were normally beaten to death or eaten.

He felt quite fortunate today and felt, after some thought, that he should be thanking this native demon king for sparing him.

In outer space, Qing Lan was extremely delighted.

Meanwhile, Yang Xuan was furious and his expression was quite unsightly. This native brat was truly unbridled. He really wanted to teach that bastard, Chu Feng, a lesson, if only he could descend.

Swoosh!

In the end, he couldn't resist the urge and activated the silver eyeball. He instilled some energy into it and immediately shot out a dazzling beam of light towards the earth.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Qing Lan cried out in shock.

"It's fine. I only made it materialize an unusual phenomenon and didn't activate any divine abilities!" Yang Xuan said.

On earth, Chu Feng was shocked out of his wits as an ineffable beam of silver light descended and erupted near him. It was extremely divine and incomparably astonishing.

This was clearly targeted at him and it nearly struck him!

It seemed to be without any power? But it still spooked him quite a bit.

Chu Feng was dissatisfied and raised a finger towards the sky and said, "Your sister!"

In outer space, Qing Lan was first stunned and then broke into a hearty laughter.

Yang Xuan's face began to twitch as said in his heart, "Clan sister, please come out quickly from Mount Yandang and help me eliminate him!"

Swoosh!

He activated the silver once again and shot a beam towards Chu Feng to scare him.

"Is there no end to this? Where did this beam come from? Is it trying to scare me or fool around with me?" Chu Feng was bewildered and felt somewhat guilty. In the end, he raised a finger and said, "Fool around your sister!"

At this moment, Qing Lan was petrified and Yang Xuan's face almost turned dark.

[1] Hook up, gang up, fool around is the same word in Chinese.

I must admit that, despite my best efforts, a portion of the comedy was lost in translation. I spent 2x the time on this chapter, but some of the puns and nuances were simply impossible to translate perfectly.
