Chapter 11: The Immortal Returns to the City

~8 min read 1,557 words

If it were Emperor Amitabha, the Void Emperor, or the Sun Sacred Emperor facing him, Lin Xian would still make a final attempt, striving to struggle a bit.

But the Ruthless Empress had a reputation that spread far and wide; who could meet her without trembling?

Her past feat of slaughtering all the kings made even the Supremes of the Forbidden Areas exclaim: "You are a bit too extreme."

The moment the Heaven-Enslaving Saintess of Ye Tianxuan appeared, without any hesitation or delay, in the flash of lightning and spark of flint, Lin Xian decisively activated the Space-Time Coupon.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best!

A streak of light flowed and turned; the Heaven-Enslaving Saintess of Ye Tianxuan froze on the spot, her originally dull gaze becoming even more bewildered. "Where did my huge disciple go? Where did my huge Ye Tianxuan disciple disappear to?!"

"Hi, hi, hi, Earth, I'm back!"

A clap of thunder rang through the sky as Lin Xian made a dazzling entrance. According to the characteristics of the Space-Time Coupon, transmigration was not random but led to a time connected by karma to oneself.

Therefore, Lin Xian felt he would return to Earth, his hometown before transmigration, the place where dreams began, the initial starting point.

However, when the light faded, Lin Xian froze.

Wild suburbs, an abandoned factory; under the pitch-black night sky, several streetlights flickered with a buzzing sound. Roaring zombies wandered everywhere. A seductive and uninhibited pink-haired older sister fought fiercely with a sloppy white-clad girl wielding a cleaver, while a young man who seemed to be an ability user manipulated a boulder weighing several thousand jin with broad, sweeping movements.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of explosion were incessant. Lin Xian sucked in a cold breath: "Oh my god, where has this taken me? Is this still Earth?"

"Little brother, you're an ordinary person, right? Today, my entire worldview has been refreshed."

A young man bound by ropes on the ground looked up. With sharp eyes, he spotted an unfamiliar youth in the corner. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was fighting and had no time to attend to him, he quickly wriggled his body, crawling like a caterpillar to Lin Xian's feet. Revealing a fawning smile, he said, "Do me a favor and untie these ropes."

"Little brother?"

Lin Xian looked at his own limbs and torso; they were slender and delicate, crystal clear, exactly like a youth in the prime of life. His skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, finer than that of a woman, resembling an immortal spirit descending into the world.

Looking inward at the Wheel of Life within his body and sensing the twelve cracks upon it, Lin Xian gained some realization. He had consumed the Saint Fruit and Divine Spring, causing him to grow young again.

He had become stronger, and he had become younger!

For a moment, Lin Xian was in high spirits. A smile curled the corner of his mouth as he asked teasingly, "A college student, I presume?"

"Oh my god, how did you know?" The young man was instantly startled, a trace of suspicion floating in his clear pupils. Immediately following this, he asked tentatively, "Could it be that you know me? Are you a junior from Nankai University?"

"Pah, no, that's not right; the age doesn't match either."

"Clear eyes, a spring green caterpillar; what else could it be but a college student?" Lin Xian sneered, then stroked his chin and murmured, "Nankai University? What kind of ghost name is that? It sounds a bit familiar."

"Kid, what is your name?"

"Spring, insect, spring insect—isn't that just 'stupid'? This bastard is calling me clear-eyed and stupid! And you're the kid; I'm a whole cycle older than you!" The young man was instantly overcome with shame and anger, cursing wildly in his heart.

But, considering his current predicament, Zhang Zhang Chulan couldn't help but take a deep breath, comforting himself that a true hero knows when to bend and when to stretch. Then, putting on a worthless smile like a good-for-nothing, he said, "Big brother, my name is Zhang Zhang Chulan. I'm a proper college student, a law-abiding citizen. Just help me out, and little Zhang will surely repay you generously in the future."

"Zhang Zhang Chulan..."

Like a beam of light tearing through chaos, Lin Xian's eyes instantly brightened with great enlightenment: "So it's this Earth."

The Earth of 'One Person Under the Outcast', also Earth, shared a great karmic connection with Lin Xian.

This was his first transmigration; the place he was supposed to come to was where he needed to execute his mission.

No wonder the Space-Time Coupon had brought him to this Earth.

"System, are the missions for 'One Person Under the Outcast' still retained?"

Lin Xian asked within his heart-lake: "I recall there was a main mission and a side mission."

An ethereal and distant voice rose as System 10086 replied: "Missions rebooting."

【Side Mission: Seize first place in the Luo Tian Luotian Dajiao】

【Main Mission: Defeat the Old Heavenly Master of Mount Mount Longhu Mountain】

"Luo Tian Luotian Dajiao, Old Heavenly Master."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes. The Luo Tian Luotian Dajiao was not worth worrying about; it was merely youngsters making noise. However, the Old Heavenly Master's strength was unfathomable.

What did 'One Person Under' mean? The 'One Person' was Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhiwei, the Heavenly Master of Mount Mount Longhu Mountain, known as the Heavenly Passage Daoist, the number one figure in the current World of Extras.

In a world where innate extras possessed myriad techniques and acquired extra powerhouses emerged in large numbers, the Heavenly Passage Daoist stood alone at the peak, suppressing the entire world for a century; he was an existence of a broken tier.

In other worlds, there might be a gap between the number one and the number two or three under heaven, but one could still exchange a few moves with them.

But in the world of 'One Person Under the Outcast', the Old Heavenly Master truly achieved being 'one person above all others.' Whether it was a holder of one of the Eight Wondrous Techniques or one of the Righteous Ten Elders, all were resolved with a single move.

"The combat power of the Heavenly Passage Daoist is hard to measure; it could be at the peak of the Life Spring, or perhaps the Divine Bridge. There is a very small probability it is combat power at the peak of the Divine Bridge; surely it cannot be comparable to an Other Shore cultivator, right?"

Lin Xian calculated in his heart. His current cultivation base was late-stage peak great perfection of the Life Spring, half-step to the Divine Bridge. Although this was a subpar realm built up by relying on the Saint Fruit and Divine Spring, the Method of Shrouding the Sky took the body as the seed, making the physical body invincible. This was cultivation in the truest sense, far surpassing urban abilities by a large margin; the art styles were not even on the same level.

If paired with two ultimate techniques, perhaps a fight was not impossible.

"Careful, dodge quickly!"

Zhang Zhang Chulan suddenly shouted loudly, anxiety appearing in his pupils. He tried to use the Golden Light Mantra to save the person, but the gu worm planted in his body by Liu Liu Yanyan constantly obstructed the flow of his meridians, preventing him from using his ability.

Lin Xian's thoughts spun a thousand times, but in reality, only a few dozen seconds had passed. Just as Zhang Zhang Chulan had fled, the two factions engaged in battle discovered this issue.

A boulder weighing several thousand jin was kicked apart by Great Xia He, and countless fragments flew toward them with skillful force.

"Great Xia He, you dare harm an ordinary person!" Xu San flew into a rage. There was an iron rule in the World of Extras: extras could kill each other, but they were not allowed to interfere with ordinary people.

The entity enforcing this iron rule was precisely the Na Du Tong Corporation behind Xu San. As a semi-state-owned enterprise, it represented the official government in restraining the extra world.

Great Xia He's current behavior was like a bandit killing a passerby in front of a police officer, a barefaced provocation.

"Ordinary person? If he dares to appear here, how could he be an ordinary person?" Great Xia He smiled seductively, yet she knew the score in her heart. The force she had used just now was not great; it was more of a probe. Even if the other party was an ordinary person, at worst, they would only suffer a concussion or serious injury.

Injuring someone and killing someone were two different standards in the corporation's evaluation system. Even Great Xia He, a member of the unrestrained Quanxing sect, knew this clearly.

After all, criminals understand the law best.

"But if I am an ordinary person, even if I don't die, I'll be half-crippled." Lin Xian spoke softly. Behind him, rows of white-gold divine patterns extended out like shackles, brilliant and shining, shattering the chaotic rocks. Under the pitch-black night sky, they set him off as unlike a mortal, utterly sacred.
