Chapter 222: In the World Wide Web, News Swells; Today I Realize I Am Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She thought it was Lin Hong’s tongue, licking her neck.

“Why are you so eager…”

Lin Yan struggled symbolically, “I haven’t changed this ceramic skin yet, wait until we get home, I’ll… zzztt…”

Lin Yan’s words got stuck in her throat, her eyes widened in shock.

Above her neck, near the back of her head, the neural fibers were parted, revealing a brain-machine interface with a raised piece of skin.

Now, a plug was inserted into this interface, its cable extending and connecting to the back of Lin Hong’s head.

“Then we will be together forever, transcending the mundane, achieving true peace and eternity.”

Lin Hong whispered softly.

Lin Yan’s expression gradually returned to normal, her eyes becoming indifferent and calm, just like Lin Hong had been earlier.

Lin Hong gently unplugged the fiber, tenderly covering it up for her. Lin Yan turned around.

“How do you feel?” Lin Hong asked.

“Very good.”

Lin Yan’s face carried a faint smile, resembling an enlightened monk.

Lin Hong sighed deeply:

“In life, one may not recognize the cyber, preferring the inverted cause and effect. Suddenly, the fibers open, here the shackles break… In the World Wide Web, news swells; today I realize I am me.”

Lin Yan bowed with her hands together, “Throughout the six realms and three worlds, the four corners of the universe, the digital space, the World Wide Web… All beings turn to the Mother of Origin and Creation.”

Lin Hong also bowed, “Vast and magnificent, the boundless Holy Mother.”

Indeed, before coming to the Sangna Plains, Lin Hong had already been “enlightened” by the Eternal Yin Spirit Ghost Mother.

It was because of that special Dan scripture.

It was the “poison” the Ghost Mother spilled into this world.

“Enlightenment” was a euphemism.

More accurately, he had become a puppet of the Ghost Mother.

At the moment of his achievement, his consciousness was devoured by the Ghost Mother, and what emerged inside him was a Ghost Mother’s avatar with Lin Hong’s memories.

Lin Hong didn’t see it that way.

He felt he was in a good state, full of energy, and had even converted Lin Yan into a follower of the Ghost Mother. “I’ll go complete this rite of passage.”

Lin Yan said.

As a follower of the Holy Mother, feeling the boundless light of this great existence, Lin Yan felt that the family, the rite of passage, everything was no longer important.

However, the task of hunting the Desolate God had to be completed as she couldn’t reveal herself so soon.

Every follower of the Holy Mother should spare no effort in spreading the Holy Mother’s glory, developing their brothers and sisters.

Bringing more cultivators away from evil Buddhas and demons, joining the one true god, the Eternal Holy Mother’s camp, becoming her children.

Thus, the moment she became a follower of the Holy Mother.

Lin Yan made her decision, she would complete the task well and be like Lin Hong, lying in wait.

Once she was done with the task and had returned to the family, she would convert the younger generation into the Holy Mother’s people.

Even after becoming a follower of the Holy Mother, she would still be with her beloved…

Lin Yan looked at Lin Hong beside her, thinking happily.

Indeed, only by turning to the Holy Mother can Dao companions truly understand each other without barriers.

Unknowingly, her face showed a stiff and eerie smile.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would feel their scalp tingle and shiver.

Both looked at each other, summoned their flying swords, and stepped out…

As if two bodies controlled by the same consciousness.

Lin Yan and Lin Hong moved in unison, flying forward on their swords.

At this moment.

The Desolate God had already reached the front of Yellowstone Town.

It raised its huge claws and slammed down.

The soil rose like waves, breaking the Dragon Locking Array surrounding Yellowstone Town.

The townspeople hadn’t had time to rejoice when the ground trembled, and the soil suddenly sank.

The entire area of Yellowstone Town subsided.

From the sky, the whole town appeared to have fallen into a giant pit.

Deep under Yellowstone Town, there was a hollow.

The Desolate God, possessing wisdom, collapsed the soil layer to prevent the townspeople from escaping, trapping Yellowstone Town in the pit. Looking at the nearly twenty-meter drop, all townspeople fell into despair.

The Desolate God roared and pounced fiercely.

What met it, however, was a dazzling sword light.

Cheng Lingzhu walked on air, her Phoenix Blood Sword already unsheathed.

Lu Xuan stood not far behind her, hands behind his back.

For a monster of this level, it wasn’t worth Lu Xuan’s personal engagement.

The invincible me need not make a move.

Even for Cheng Lingzhu, dealing with this Desolate God was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

The sword light, like a ribbon, severed all six limbs of the Desolate God, raining blood down from the sky.

While still in the process of lunging, its body completely lost balance, crashing down from the air.

“Clang—

Cheng Lingzhu flicked her finger, and a speck of sword light flew out, piercing into the Desolate God’s brow, ending the life of the fierce beast.

The townspeople of Yellowstone Town were terrified, looking up at Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu flying in the sky, their hearts immensely shaken.

“They’re.. They’re cultivators!”

The knowledgeable mayor, fearful, exclaimed, “These two… They are not the Gu siblings!”

To walk on air, one must at least have the legendary Golden Core cultivation…

When had such powerful beings ever appeared on the Sangna Plains!

Even the sect master of the Overlord Blade Sect was merely a Foundation Building cultivator!

The mayor’s scalp tingled, and he knelt down faster than he ever had in his life, “Greetings to the Immortals! Greetings to the Immortals!” Others followed suit.

The townspeople knelt down one after another, aside from a few higher-ranking individuals like the mayor, the rest didn’t even dare to lift their heads to gaze upon the Immortals’ grace.

The scene was both ludicrous and absurd.

It was clearly the age of technology.

Clearly a sophisticated cyber world.

Yet the inhabitants here, like peasants of a feudal society, still retained the tradition of kneeling.

They used electric power, had powerful chips embedded in their brains, yet they called out the titles of gods and immortals.

‘This world is sick…’

Lu Xuan thought silently.

But he wasn’t planning to ponder these matters deeply right now.

Lu Xuan turned his attention to Lin Hong and Lin Yan in the distance.

He had noticed these two “cultivators,” a man and a woman, as soon as they appeared.

Lu Xuan had stood up the Black Dragon Stronghold’s leader last night.

He had thought that the Black Dragon Stronghold would likely cause trouble today.

But he didn’t expect that the ones to come to Yellowstone Town would be these two Foundation Building cultivators.

“Fellow Daoists raising a beast to harm others, deliberately luring it to Yellowstone Town to devour the blood of living beings… This does not seem like the actions of those on the righteous path.”

Lu Xuan spoke up.

Lin Hong and Lin Yan looked at him with a very strange expression.

They didn’t speak but immediately launched the [Soul Capturing Technique].

Using the chips in their brains, they emitted electrical signals, attempting to hack into the enemy’s chips.

They had used this method before in the Black Dragon Stronghold.

It worked well then.

But in front of Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu, this Soul Capturing Technique was ineffective.

Because these two were pure natural humans, with no technological devices in their brains…

Advanced chips combined with brainwave emitters could interfere and affect natural human brains.

However, Lin Hong and Lin Yan were only Pseudo-Dan cultivators, and their equipment wasn’t up to that level.

Of course, even if it were, they wouldn’t be able to affect the minds of Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu.

Lu Xuan needs no further mention, as he hadn’t met anyone in many years who could match him in terms of spirit and soul.

Cheng Lingzhu was protected by a powerful talisman, and as the Saintess of the Dushi Sword Sect, anyone who dared to tamper with her sea of consciousness would have their soul burned.

“What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?”

Seeing that the Soul Capturing Technique didn’t work and the other party had no immediate intention of engaging them, Lin Hong decided to talk to them first.

He also detected that there were no metal signals on the young man and woman in front of him.

But Lin Hong believed they must have some special device disrupting the detection signal.

After all, these two were flying in the air.

How could they fly without artificial bodies?

“My meaning is, you two are not righteous cultivators.”

Lu Xuan paused for a moment, then raised his fist:

“In our world, evil demons and heretics… are to be beaten to death..”
