It was no simple task to raid a tomb, especially when this was the tomb of a Return to Void Stage mighty figure.

He had to at least figure out where the tomb was first!

The map of the Winter Dragon Tomb was something he had obtained as an ancient artifact.

This was something that was essentially down to fate.

An Lin pondered the issue to himself for a while before deciding it was best to take things easy rather than try to force things into motion. After all, the difficulty in raiding a tomb was probably comparable to trying to make a breakthrough through his own power.

Under the current circumstances, it was best to keep studying and cultivating.

Half a month flashed past in the blink of an eye.

Da Bai consumed the Divine Vitality Condensing immortal pill Xu Xiaolan had given him and successfully progressed to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage, drawing even with An Lin.

After a long period of observation, Xiao Chou also managed to break through with the help of the Ancient Divine Pill An Lin had given him, thereby successfully ascending to Soul Formation Initial Stage.

On that day, the entire sky above the Full Moon Mountain was obscured by dark clouds as the wind roared and thunder rumbled.

The huge commotion even attracted many of the schools higher-ups to the scene.

However, they all left in disappointment after learning that it was only An Lins beast pet that was making a breakthrough.

What the hell, so it was just the beast pet of our schoolyards legendary figure that made a breakthrough? What a bummer.

Even student An Lins beast pet is already Soul Formation Stage, but none of the students in the school are even at Soul Formation Stage yet, what a f*cking disgrace.

If it wasnt for the fact that Liu Qianhuan is always infatuated with her games, she wouldve taken the torch from Wang Xuanzhan long ago.

Sigh, its hard being a teacher

Not only were the higher-ups of the school feeling tremendous pressure, but An Lin was also feeling a lot of pressure as Xiao Chous owner.

An Lin sighed in dejection. Xiao Chou, why wont you wait for me? Are you trying to defy the natural order?

Dont worry, Big Brother An, Ill protect you. Xiao Chou vowed sincerely.

Xiao Chous words dealt another unintended blow to An Lins heart. Had he fallen to the extent that he needed his beast pets to protect him?

No, he had to work his ass off and catch up!

After another half a month, Xiao Hong broke through to Spirit Nurturing Final Stage without uttering a single word as she photosynthesized.

An Lin:

Master, you should do some sunbathing too, otherwise your cultivation base is going to grow mold, Xiao Hong suggested in a sweet voice.

Dont compare me to yourself. No matter how much sunbathing I do, it wont make any difference! An Lin replied with tears streaking down his face.

His cultivation base had reached a bottleneck, such that there was no substantial difference even after a month of diligent cultivation. In the past, even if he didnt progress in his cultivation base, he could feel himself getting stronger through cultivation.

However, flash forward to the present day, no matter how much he tempered his core or refined his body, he felt absolutely no difference.

The main thing was to attain enlightenment and manifest his own domain!

This was the most important step to progress from Spirit Nurturing Final Stage to Half-Step Soul Formation Stage.

An Lin felt like he had a decent aptitude; it wasnt like he had never made any breakthroughs with his own power in the past.

He just had to keep grinding, and he was sure to get there someday.

However, his team of beast pets with their ungodly cultivation aptitudes were piling on a lot of pressure on him as they all threatened to leave him in the dust.

What if the cultivation bases of all his beast pets exceeded his?

Would everyone call him a freeloader?

Or even worse, a freeloader that relied on his beast pets to carry him!

Ah How was the great Sword Immortal An Lin going to live with such humiliation!?

However, everything soon changed.

An Lins home-room teacher, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, suddenly announced an interesting piece of news.

Theres news from Earth stating that the enchantment around the tomb of Celestial Immortal Shou Yang on Changbai Mountain will show signs of weakening in ten days. All cultivators under Return to Void Stage cultivation base have a chance to enter the tomb and search for the inheritance within the tomb as long as they have a special jade talisman from the Heavenly Court.

This is a pact that Celestial Immortal Shou Yang made with the Heavenly Court prior to his death. He welcomed prodigies from the Heavenly Court under Soul Formation Stage to travel to the Shou Yang Tomb a thousand years after his death to fight for his inheritance. The agreed date from a thousand years ago is finally upon us!

There are only ten jade talismans, two of which have gone to Earth while The United University of Cultivation has been granted the remaining eight. Those who would like to travel to Earth can make an application with me. In the end, the eight students that would travel to Earth would be decided by a student vote!

Another important thing is, we have no idea what is situated within the Shou Yang Tomb.

We dont even know why he decided to build his tomb on Earth.

Everything is a mystery so the Heavenly Court is unable to gauge just how dangerous the tomb would be, which means there may be life-threatening hazards inside the tomb. Hence, its up to you whether you would like to put your name forward. Ill be taking applications now!

The tomb of a Celestial Immortal! Only an idiot would refuse such an opportunity!

This was the opportunity An Lin had been dreaming about; who would have thought it would present itself to him so abruptly? He made the decision to put forward an application without even a second thought.

There were over six hundred applicants from The United University of Cultivation, with almost the entirety of the one hundred cultivators on the Immortal Rankings Board handing in an application.

The student vote was held the next day, and An Lin obviously won by a landslide.

The other seven students chosen alongside him were Liu Qianhuan, Tang Ximen, Su Qianyun, Xuanyuan Cheng, Xu Xiaolan, Yao Mingxi, and Hu Guan.

Liu Qianhuan, Tang Ximen, Su Qianyun, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Xu Xiaolan comprised the top five cultivators on the Immortal Rankings Board, so their strength and popularity were undisputed. Yao Mingxi and Hu Guan were the second and first-year representatives respectively. They were the strongest within their respective year level so they were basically a shoo-in to round out a final two spots.

Another thing worthy of note was, aside from Yao Mingxi, Hu Guan was also a retarded superfan of An Lins.

To this, An Lin could only sight in resignation. It was because of these accursed schoolyard stories.

After settling on the roster, An Lin once again assumed the role of team leader.

Why wasnt Liu Qianhuan the leader?

Because of her past record.

Everyone had a days worth of time during which they could prepare for the trip. The first thing An Lin did was travel to Dou Shuai Palace and commission the refinement of about two dozen spirit pills suitable for his father, as well as a Yin Yang Energy immortal pill.

The Yin Yang Energy immortal pill was a seventh-grade immortal pill, for which An Lin used his final immortal pill coupon.

After completing his preparations, he decided to gather his beast pets for a meeting.

Theres an opportunity to descend into the mortal world, who wants to come?

Xiao Hong wobbled her red flowery head and spoke in a sweet voice, Ive photosynthesized in the mortal world for over a century in the past, so I have no interest in coming.

Xiao Chou also shook his head. Ive only just recently broken through to Soul Formation Stage, so its best for me to stay behind and consolidate my cultivation base by absorbing the dense vital energy around the Full Moon Mountain.

An Lin nodded in agreement. There really werent any better environments for cultivating than the university, so he could understand Xiao Chous decision.

In contrast, Da Bais eyes immediately lit up at the opportunity. Are the chicks on Earth hotter than the ones in the Kingdom of the Nine States? Woof!

Pretty much the whole population of the Kingdom of the Nine States consists of cultivators, so they definitely win out in terms of overall quality compared to those on Earth. But there are a lot of beautiful female cultivators on Earth that I can introduce to you. An Lin chuckled he attempted to pique Da Bais interest.

He was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to flex to everyone back on Earth on dogback, so how could he allow Da Bai to stay behind?

Da Bais interest was most definitely piqued, but he was still a bit indecisive. Hence, An Lin punched the final nail into the coffin. I can show you nude images of hundreds of different beautiful women.

Ill go, Big Brother An! Woof!

Da Bai was completely won over by his words and instantly agreed.

An Lin nodded with satisfaction as a ripple of emotion flashed across his eyes.

It was finally time to return home after two years!

How is your cultivation coming along, dad?

All my cultivating friends on Earth, how are you all?

Sword Immortal An Lin is coming to visit you all tomorrow!
