Chapter 453: Searching For a Way to Rectify Dao Foundations
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Big Brother An, I was so scared when I heard you and Xiaolan had disappeared! Woof!
“I heard an elder of the Vermilion Bird Sect say that they had used a simulation spell technique, which revealed to them that you and Xu Xiaolan had encountered five Holy Palace Leaders and that you had been in contact with the holy fla. However, the elder said that there was less than a ten percent chance that you had survived.
“They also said that a mysterious mighty figure appeared before slaying the five Holy Palace Leaders and taking the holy fla!” Da Bai’s enraged voice sounded from the other side.
An Lin’s lips twitched slightly. What the hell is this simulation spell technique? Is it a counterfeit one?
However, if one was to think about it, this was probably the only reasonable explanation they could provide.
He suddenly thought of his Divine Simulation Technique at the ntion of the term simulation. He had no idea how much of his lifespan he had sacrificed during his successive usage of the Divine Simulation Technique. However, it must have been a lot, as his hair was completely white now. He had to rember to eat so vitality-restoration pills to replenish his body.
An Lin paused for a mont before speaking again, “Two things. Number one, keep this a secret and don’t tell anyone about . Number two, find an excuse to leave the Vermilion Bird Sect and co to Xixia City! I’ll be waiting for you.”
“No problem, we’ll definitely get there within two days, woof!” Da Bai replied before cutting off the voice transmission.
An Lin heaved a light sigh of relief. He had to find a chance to return the Fla-Sealing Disc to the Vermilion Bird Sect. This was a mission he had planned for his team of beast pets.
Next, he had to try and restore Xu Xiaolan’s Dao foundation. Although chances of recovery were extrely slim, An Lin refused to give up. He would do all he could to find a recovery thod.
An Lin didn’t know that many mighty figures. Aside from Daolord Lu Ya, who he had never t, he was only familiar with Vice-Principal Yu Hua, the Moon Palace Leader Chang’e, and Yi Xi from Dou Shuai Palace.
Among these three, Chang’e was the number one pill refinent master in the Heavenly Court. She was only at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, but her pill refinent skills excelled above the vast majority of Dao Integration Stage super-mighty figures.
An Lin considered his options for a mont before contacting Chang’e.
He discovered that during the period in which he had disappeared, Chang’e had tried to contact him nurous tis. This showed that she at least considered him to be a friend, and this notion made him a lot less uneasy as he contacted Chang’e.
“An Lin?” Chang’e’s voice quickly sounded from the other side.
An Lin: “Yeah, it’s . How are you, Sister Chang’e?”
Chang’e chuckled softly. “I should be asking you that instead. I heard you died.”
An Lin: “… Well, as you can see, those are all lies. However, I’ll have to ask you to keep the fact that I’m still alive a secret.”
“Alright, I can do that. What do you need for?” Chang’e replied.
An Lin paused for a mont before continuing, “Do you know of any way for a person to cultivate again after their Dao foundation has collapsed? The reason behind the Dao foundation collapsing was a transfusion of bloodline, and that person has now been reduced to a mortal.”
Chang’e remained silent for a long while before replying.
“I’ve never heard of anyone within the Kingdom of the Nine States who was able to cultivate again after their Dao foundation collapsed,” Chang’e replied.
Disappointnt fell across An Lin’s face when he heard this.
“However, this doesn’t an it can’t be done,” Chang’e added.
An Lin’s heart trembled as hope appeared on his face.
“But I don’t know how it can be done,” Chang’e concluded.
An Lin: “…”
“Could you please get everything off your chest at once? My heart can’t take it if you feed bits of information like this…” An Lin sighed with his hand clasped over his chest.
“A collapsed Dao foundation is like a soul which has vanished. There’s no way to recover it. Trying to reconstruct a Dao foundation is even harder than recovering a lost soul… It’s impossible unless you have godly powers. I don’t an to rain on your parade, but even if you were to ask the Celestial Thearch, he wouldn’t be able to do anything either. Besides, I have more expertise in this area than he does anyway,” Chang’e continued with a forlorn sigh.
An Lin was extrely disappointed to hear this.
He was thinking that if he had no other alternatives, he could ask Emperor Ziwei for help, then perhaps try to contact the Celestial Thearch through Lin Junjun. However, Chang’e’s words instantly dispelled even those hopes. He could only rack his brain for other potential avenues now.
“The person you’re talking about is Xu Xiaolan, am I correct?” Chang’e suddenly asked.
An Lin fell silent.
“Don’t worry, I was only able to deduce this from so rumors I had heard, as well as from the things you were asking about.” Chang’e’s cold voice suddenly beca gentle and soft as she said, “She’s a good girl, don’t let her down.”
“I won’t give up… no matter what price I have to pay,” An Lin clenched his fists as he said in a determined voice.
“Alright, I’ll keep this a secret for you as well. I’ll also ask around to see if anyone I know has any information that could help you. I’ll get back to you if I hear anything useful,” Chang’e continued.
“Thank you so much!” An Lin was extrely moved by her gesture. Chang’e had countless connections with the most powerful mighty figures on the continent. Thus, for her to inquire her contacts for information would be of imnse help to An Lin.
Chang’e was quite reclusive, but her pill refinent skills were top-notch. There were many Dao Integration Stage super-mighty figures that would ask her to refine pills for them, and many of them even owed her favors. If she really did ask around, perhaps she would be able to dig up so secrets.
An Lin heaped genuine words of gratitude upon Chang’e before cutting off the voice transmission.
He then contacted Vice-Principal Yu Hua.
Vice-Principal Yu Hua was greatly startled by An Lin’s voice transmission, but he soon cald down and began to think about the question An Lin had asked him.
In the end, he replied that he didn’t know of any thod to repair one’s Dao foundation. However, he would try to get in contact with the principal to see if he could provide more insight on the matter.
An Lin expressed his gratitude again before contacting Yi Xi.
“Holy f*ck! Mr. An Lin, were your reborn from the ashes?!” Yi Xi exclaid in shock.
An Lin’s lips twitched. “Yes, I was reborn, but my Dao foundation has collapsed from bloodline transfusion… Do you have any way to fix this?”
“Do you think I’m an idiot? You wouldn’t be able to contact via voice transmission talisman if your Dao foundation really has collapsed.” Yi Xi chuckled coldly.
“Hmm, looks like you’re not completely beyond help. It’s one of my friends who is suffering from this condition. Do you have any thods for treatnt? State any conditions you have, I’ll satisfy them even if it ans giving my life,” An Lin continued.
Yi Xi remained silent for a long while before replying, “I can see you’re very determined about this. My Master just returned to the Tai Chu Continent. I’ll ask if he has a solution, and if he does, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath as excitent glowed in his eyes!
Yi Xi’s Master was none other than Lord Lao Zi, a mber of the Daoist Trinity!
Lord Lao Zi also had the title of Grand Supre Dao Ancestor on the Tai Chu Continent. He was on a higher level than even the Celestial Thearch, and his understanding of cultivation and Dao was unmatched. He would be the perfect person to inquire about things like collapsed Dao foundations.
However, he was often traveling through different realms, and he was soone simply too far away for An Lin to reach.
An Lin was extrely touched that Yi Xi was willing to consult with his Master for his sake.
An Lin cut off the voice transmission after expressing his utmost gratitude to Yi Xi.
After receiving Yi Xi’s promise, An Lin was in a much better mood. He began humming an uplifting tune to himself.
Knock knock knock.
At this mont, soone suddenly began knocking on his door.
“Co in,” An Lin said with a smile.
He thought it was Xu Xiaolan, but it was instead a young woman in green garnts who was holding a small tub of hot water in her hands.
“Male Master, I’ve prepared so water for you to wash your face.” The young woman had a light blush on her face, and she seed to be quite nervous.
An Lin pondered for a mont before recalling that this young woman was the maid nad Litte Chun.
“Thank you, Litte Chun, put the tub on the table there!” An Lin was extrely pleased with his new title of “Male Master”, and he replied in a warm voice.
“Ok!” Little Chun nodded obediently, and she stole a worshipping glance at An Lin before taking her leave.
She revered An Lin for his cooking skills and thus volunteered to serve him. She was a bit nervous at first, but her heart was greatly eased after seeing An Lin’s warm and agreeable deanor.
At the sa ti, she was also hoping that An Lin would teach her so cooking skills once they were on better terms. She would be over the moon if a master chef like An Lin were to teach her a few tricks!
An Lin tidied himself up and put on a new change of clothes before making his way toward Xu Xiaolan’s room.
