Forbidden Jungle.
Inside the bus, Little Mortal turned off the music and was going to say sothing to his followers, but saw them all sitting with closed eyes, as if they were sleeping.
He shrugged, went to his backpack, changed into his black martial arts clothes, and got off the bus.
The followers, at this mont, were enjoying a new kind of knowledge that their brains may never experience again.
The knowledge wasn't about fighting or any technique, but a language!
It was a language that gave them the ability to speak, read, and even write any other language!
The little sect master called it Google Translate, but to them, if there was a god in this world, this was the language to speak to that God!
Outside the bus, Little Mortal saw the crowd of dizzy immortals with pale faces looking around, trying to see where they were and what had happened to them.
"So fragile..."
The disappointed Little Mortal shook his head and slowly walked forward like he didn't want to make too much noise!
Then he squatted down, patted the ground, and whispered,
"Madam Turtle, wake up!"
The immortal masters behind him, hearing the familiar voice, ca back to their senses!
When they saw the people around them, the familiar faces, and the big white tiger, they understood who had taken them away suddenly and sighed in relief!
In a mont, sothing sucked them in, and they thought it was a beast that swallowed them!
And after that, everything was kept spinning like they were in the belly of that beast!
Who knew the beast was this little monster's vehicle?
They were going to greet the new faces, but Little Mortal said,
"Shhhh!"
So they made no sound.
Only Scholar looked at the couple, who were looking at them, especially him, in shock, and nodded.
Little Mortal patted the ground again,
"Madam Turtle, wake up!"
The couple felt puzzled!
Was the wise turtle down there under the ground?
But the special force mbers looked up at the big mountain and gulped!
A mont later, the mountain range started trembling, and so did the whole Forbidden Jungle, which had a wide path in the middle of it, from one end to the other now.
But the path didn't co close to the resting place of the tiger and the turtle so as not to bother them.
The two were asleep most of the ti; it would be a ss to have a highway beside them all of a sudden, right?
Feeling the rumbling under his feet, Little Mortal said,
"It's , Mortal!"
The mont he said 'Mortal', an unbelievable scene took place!
The big mountain disappeared in an instant!
Only empty ground was left with a misty area where you could hardly see anything.
The only one who wasn't affected much was the white tiger, who was lying on the ground lazily...
Little Mortal whispered,
"Everyone, be respectful, Madam Turtle is coming!"
He himself tidied his clothes, stood straight, and smiled politely, like a good child who would never do anything bad or disrespect any of his elders!
The crowd, especially Third Sister, who knew to so extent that this little monster wasn't soone who shows respect to anyone easily, stood there politely.
Not long after, a sound of light footsteps could be heard.
Little Mortal, hearing the sound, turned to his bus,
"Big guy, send a sofa, a table, so tea, and fruit for everyone, but a special sofa for Madam Turtle."
And ran in the direction of the footsteps inside the misty area.
Then the crowd heard him say,
"Madam Turtle, it's good to see you again!
Did I wake you up?"
And the voice of a lady that seed to originate from nature itself answered,
"You can wake up anyti, Savior Mortal."
Little Mortal laughed as if he felt embarrassed,
"What savior!
Just call Little Mortal!
Please, this way, my special force mbers are here to greet you."
The lady chuckled,
"Alright, I'll call you 'Little Mortal' then.
But this doesn't change the fact that you saved us all.
Now let's et our friends."
Little Mortal said humbly,
"It was just a small matter!
This way, please, this way!"
The crowd, by now, was shocked for many reasons!
First, the other party was so close, but they couldn't feel her with their spiritual sense!
Even the Third Sister couldn't!
Second, this little monster was so respectful to her, they wondered if that was her godmother or sothing!
And third, he really saved the world, and there was even a witness!?
Then they saw two people erge from the mist.
One of them was Little Mortal, and the other,
a kind-looking lady in a brown robe with brown hair.
With each step she took, the world itself seed to resonate with her, as if the planet were sending a ssage to all the creatures nearby, and the ssage was evident to all of them.
[ This is my first child! ]
The kind lady sat down on the sofa and looked at Little Mortal nervously.
The crowd sighed in relief when they saw her in this state.
It ans she was in the sa 'boat' as them and wasn't so family mber of the little monster that they need to be extra cautious around...
Little Mortal poured so tea for her and said,
"Here, Madam, have so tea.
It's the best tea from my little brother's hotown."
The hand of Wise Turtle, who was going to take the teacup, trembled a little as she asked,
"Little Mortal, your brother is here too?"
Little Mortal said,
"Oh, where are my manners?
Let introduce you to my friends here."
Then he ran to the Emperor's side,
"This is my little brother, the Emperor; he owns the land on the human side."
Then he pointed at the Empress beside him,
"She is the Empress.
All these years that I was on the journey to beco the guardian, at the sa ti, I was looking for a good wife for my little brother too, and she was the best match I found for him!"
The Wise Turtle was confused,
"How long has it been since the last ti we t?
I an, the day you ca here and saved us from those invaders and told ,
'I was lucky and took the final scene first; I will take the rest of the scenes and co back to you later with the special force! '
Little Mortal said without thinking,
"It was just last week."
Then he paused and said hurriedly,
"No, no, I an last century!
It's been a hundred years!"
Wise Turtle looked at the crowd, especially the tiger, to see if she had really slept for that long, because it was barely even a nap for her, and sure enough,
So were looking at the sky, so biting their lips,
and the tiger imdiately rolled the other way and pretended to be asleep.
The Wise Turtle could only smile and say,
"A 100-year journey, befitting of the future guardian.
Please introduce the remaining friends."
Little Mortal, hearing the complint, was obviously happy!
He looked towards the horizon, while his expression was filled with nostalgia, like he was rembering all kinds of mories, and said,
"The journey was long, the hardships were plenty, and I sacrificed many things...
But.."
He looked at the crowd with a proud smile,
"The harvest was satisfying!
The friends I made on this journey are worth every second of it!"
And nodded at the crowd, who were dragged into the non-existent 100-year journey, and nodded back at him with a smile.
Then he started introducing the rest of them,
"This golden-haired friend is the Scholar; he knows a lot of things!
This man with the silver hand is Jax from Mortal Komb-"
Then he suddenly paused, looked carefully at the guy with the silver hand, and gasped,
This story has been stolen from . If you read it on Amazon, please report it
"Mr. Blacksmith, it's you!
What happened to your hand?
I almost mistook you for soone else!"
The dark-skinned, infamous Blacksmith coughed and said,
"Sect Master, it is the opportunity that I gained from the material you sent to ."
Little Mortal knocked on the tallic-looking hand and then looked at the dark-skinned Blacksmith and said,
"If you shave your head, you will be exactly like him!"
Then shook his head,
"Let's not get distracted.
Next is the lady everyone calls Grandma,
She is an illegal immigrant and here to kill .
She isn't even supposed to be here in this scene!
What are you doing here?"
The sentence started with introducing her and ended with questioning her!
Third Sister was speechless!
"Sect Master, you were the one who brought here forcefully, and I wasn't going to kill anyone..."
Little Mortal gasped in shock,
"What do you an forcefully!
Can't you see Madam Turtle watching?
She might think I am a thug or sothing!
It was in a hurry! In a hurry!
Do you... Understand?"
Third Sister could only accept the change in the aning,
"Yes, yes, you accidentally took with the rest in a hurry..."
The crowd thought to themselves,
'You are the ultimate thug...'
Little Mortal snorted and went to the next person,
"This is Mr. Fourth; he is good at playing with a sword,
His disciple was supposed to be my teacher, but died at the hands of a villainess called Snow Goddess, who is good at playing with snow."
The forr Sword God could only feign not to hear him.
Lady Butterfly was wondering how he still didn't know his son was alive?
Didn't Rose find a way to tell him?
The only thing that ca to her mind was the influence of Heaven's Will, or he didn't want to believe it like before ...
"This is Ms. Fire; she was once my rival to beco a guardian, but due to a lack of knowledge, she lost.
Recently, I taught her a new trick that she is going to demonstrate for you now."
Then he stared at Fifth Sister, the Fire Goddess.
She chuckled and turned her hair into dancing fire.
Little Mortal started clapping!
After seeing Wise Turtle smiling, he went to the next person.
"This is Little Charm.
She likes to joke around, and believe it or not, she has a disciple who, like her, likes to joke around too!
But I already dealt with her!"
Charm Goddess, hearing the 'dealt with her' part,
panicked,
"Oh no!
Boss, what did you do to my disciple!
Is she in your cage!?
Take her out, please!
Please forgive her; she is a little silly, but she doesn't an what she says, pl-"
Little Mortal was taken aback,
"Calm down, calm down!
I just pinched her once and ran away!
What cage? What forgiveness?"
Charm Goddess felt relaxed hearing him just pinching her.
Even if it was a 'little monster' level pinch, at most, she lost so at, right?
Little Mortal smiled apologetically at Wise Turtle because of his friend's behavior.
And she just shook her head to show him she didn't mind.
"Next is Old Seven.
He is the 'busybody' of the cultivation world."
The crowd chuckled.
Old Seven didn't even have the opportunity to defend his reputation, and Little Mortal was already introducing the next person,
"And this is my old rival, Lady Butterfly, who beat so many tis in the past that I lost count!
She has now mastered many new techniques, ready to beat again!"
Lady Butterfly wanted to say it's not true, but he didn't give her a chance and was already patting the head of the white tiger.
He whispered in a low voice,
"And as you know, this is Mr. Tiger!
He is taking a nap now, so let's not bother him!"
The crowd was shocked again!
Why is there so much difference in treatnt when it cos to these two?
Then he walked back to Wise Turtle, introducing her to the rest,
"And this noble lady is Madam Turtle, the first intelligent being of Planet Cultivation, and the first mber of the special force who unfortunately died in the world invasion protecting the planet."
He started his sentence excitedly and finished in sadness!
The crowd was flabbergasted,
'The first intelligent being of the planet?
How old is she? Is that why her na is in every history book?
And she is dead?'
Wise Turtle herself was at a loss for words!
She knew what he ant by 'she is dead', but she wasn't dead for real...
The crowd could only bow together to this ancient lady,
"Please accept this bow, Wise Turtle!"
The wise Turtle smiled and stood up to greet them,
"You are now my colleagues; don't be like this."
Little Mortal then pointed at the bus,
"And inside, my followers are cultivating.
I trained them in a special way.
Let show you a sample."
Then he ran inside and ca back a mont later with Little Peanut in his hand, who seed to be asleep.
"What do you guys think?"
Except for the imperial couple, who saw these followers' cultivation in action, the rest furrowed their brows at first glance.
They only saw a mortal.
After a while, Wise Turtle said,
"Why is he more like a plant than a human?"
Little Mortal beca excited,
"I know, right!
It's because my followers can now live with solar energy!
Isn't that fascinating?"
The crowd raised their eyebrows!
Was such a thing really possible?
Lady Butterfly said,
"Sect Master, didn't you want to awaken their spirit root and then give them this ability?
Why is he still a mortal, then?"
Little Mortal gasped in shock and ran to the bus.
A mont later, he ca back with the black-frad glasses and looked at Little Peanut!
Then he sighed in relief,
"Lady Butterfly, what's wrong with you!
Can't you see?
He is just one step away from the 'Mama Mia' realm!"
From his tone, he seed to be dissatisfied with being lied to!
But the rest of them felt the sa!
He was a mortal.
Wise Turtle, who didn't know what 'Mama Mia' even ant but could guess what realm it was, smiled and said,
"Little Mortal, I think under the sun, your followers, in a cultivator's eyes, are all mortals.
It should be the effect of their existence, acting like a plant while absorbing solar energy."
Little Mortal couldn't believe it; he looked at the rest,
"You see him as a non-cultivator, too?"
The rest of them nodded.
Little Mortal scratched his head.
Then he suddenly took off the glasses and kicked it inside the bus!
Don't you think you should notify about such an important thing?
This is the second ti after my followers'
'near explosion' experience that you are hiding sothing from !
There won't be a third ti!"
And he ran to the bus after it, which started shaking the next mont!
The crowd gulped down...
This kid was indeed unstable, and his treasures weren't his by the looks of it!
After a while, Little Mortal stepped out of the bus.
"Excuse , I had an urgent business that I needed to attend."
Charm Goddess, who wanted to beco invisible like these followers, took the risk and ran to him to be the first to take the opportunity!
She appeared behind Little Mortal and stretched her hand to tap his shoulder.
"Bo-"
But before she could even say a word, Little Mortal felt sothing and caught her index finger that was going to reach his shoulder!
At the sa ti, he pulled her finger forward, and he himself stepped back.
Charm Goddess, who was getting close to him, hit his back with her legs and felt she was stopped by an iron wall!
And her upper body, which was being pulled forward because the little guy was pulling her by the finger, bent over!
Just the two seemingly simple actions, matched together, and her movent turned into a front flip!
At this mont, she was only thinking about one thing,
'I turned into a mortal!?'
Little Mortal, that Charm Goddess was doing a front flip above his head, did the sa and did a front flip, too!
The onlookers could only be amazed at how the two of them were so in sync!
And when Charm Goddess's incomplete front flip was over, and she hit the ground on her back, the little guy's complete front flip was over, too!
Now, he was squatting down on one leg, and his other leg was stretched out, ready to hit Charm Goddess's forehead like an axe!
It was only now that everyone panicked,
"Sect Master, it's Charm Goddess!"
"Boss, be careful!"
"Friendly fire!"
"Boss, it's !"
Hearing the cry of alarm, Little Mortal stopped his little feet a hair from Charm Goddess's forehead and laughed,
"Geez, I know who she is!
You guys are so easy to scare!"
Then he let go of Charm Goddess's finger and said,
"You should be careful when getting close to from behind..."
And shook his head.
Charm Goddess, whose power was back, stood up and said with resentnt,
"Boss, I was just going to ask if you can make like your followers; why would you beat like that...?"
Little Mortal scratched his head,
"How should I know it was you?
At first, I thought it was an ambush."
The crowd rembered sothing when he said this.
This little guy didn't have any spirit roots!
Third Sister furrowed her brow,
"Sect Master, don't you have a bloodline connection?"
Little Mortal shook his head,
"Nope, no root like them, no bloodline connection like you, and no magic power like those magicians, or any other kind of connection with the world."
Then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, who heard so secret information, he said,
"Do you know why?"
The crowd shook their heads!
Now they really wanted to know what the reason was for soone with an unknown origin and this many overpowered treasures not having any way to sense his surroundings through any connection!
Little Mortal took a deep breath and sighed while shaking his head.
It seems he was feeling pity.
For who?
They felt it was for anyone and everyone, except himself!
"It's because I am too strong!
So strong that the world itself was embarrassed by its creation and how unfair my existence is to everyone else...!"
Then he raised his chin, puffed his chest, and shouted proudly,
"And so, a law was carved into every corner of the known multiverse!"
An epic music started playing; a table ca out of the bus, and he jumped on it to continue,
"And this is the universal law that was created!
Listen carefully!
'From this mont onward!
The most overpowered child of the universe!
The one and only invisible existence!
Mortal!
Shall not be allowed to be connected to any law!
Then he dropped his head, and the music changed to a sad one,
"Sigh, Up here at the peak, it is so lonely... Nothing more to achieve..."
Then he jumped down from the table and, like he was still feeling good about himself because he made the world create a law specifically for him, looked at the crowd to see their reactions.
But they were only looking at him blankly.
They didn't believe a single word he said!
They were dragged into a non-existent illusion, but it broke soon after!
Seeing them like this, he snorted,
"Alright, enough joking!
If you want to be like my followers,
Talk to His Majesty about it!
I don't have ti for that!"
The group of special force mbers looked at the Emperor and saw him nod!
So they knew it was true.
"Alright, the reason I gathered you here is to take the scene that only you guys, cultivators in the Pipe Realm, can participate in.
Those under this level will be affected in a harmful way."
The crowd felt they had misheard it.
Charm Goddess said,
"Sect Master, you an Immortal Realm?"
Pufff
Little Mortal almost laughed, but covered his mouth.
Then he rolled his eyes at her,
"There is no such realm as 'Immortal Realm',
Don’t be silly."
And shook his head.
The 'immortals' in the scene were shocked.
Even their breathing turned uneven!
Scholar couldn't wait; it was important information that could destroy a belief, a goal that all cultivators had: immortality!
"Sect Master!
Please enlighten us; is immortality a lie?"
"Not telling.
You don't understand it now.
Ask after I beco the guardian.
Alright, let's start with the world invasion, the scene of the invader's scouts!"
And then he patted his cage and said,
"Send the first two invaders out."
And two figures appeared,
"Alright, take one, action!"
....
High up in the sky, the old manager jolted awake!
He felt a bad on!
Like a disaster that could endanger the whole planet just appeared out of nowhere!
But he wasn't fazed by it at all!
He even boldly started searching the whole planet for the source while thinking to himself,
'What or who is it?
Show yourself to if you dare, and I'll throw the little monster at you!'
Until his eyes locked onto the resting place of the most special creature of the planet, the Wise Turtle.
When he saw what was happening there, he just laughed and started watching with interest,
"The little monster is recording a scene there, huh?
It seems he is almost done playing around in my place..."
...
Around an hour later, Little Mortal patted the cage again.
"Okay, pack them up."
And whatever was out of the cage went back in.
The group of immortals wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
At this mont, they were covered in 'blood', with pale faces, and you could see the hint of leftover fear in their eyes from whatever they were dealing with until now.
All of them were lying on the sofas that Little Mortal sent out for them to rest.
Today,
They felt the most horrifying and helpless situation in their life, and it wasn't even completely real.
Little Mortal, after giving them so ti to get back to normal, said,
"Okay, everyone, it was hard on you.
But why are you acting like it was a life-and-death battle?
Their power was sealed and downgraded to the sa realm as you..."
He shook his head in disappointnt, seeing these weaklings, and checked his tasks.
[1. Rose intro scene ✓

10. Tell the Emperor to lick his candy ✓
11. My followers' graduation
12. Compensate the hostages ✓
13. Give the goods to His Majesty ✓]
He was mostly done, and fed so spirit creatine to the hostages and compressed it for them to use in any way they wanted as compensation.
Then he said to the crowd, who were peeking at his notebook,
"I should go back to the sect for my competition.
Who wants to co with ?
You guys can stay out of the restriction area now; the old manager is fine."
He specifically looked at the Emperor and the Empress.
The two waved their hands weakly,
"You already made such a good road; we want to try it personally, big brother."
Little Mortal nodded,
"Alright, I'll call you later for my ceremony.
And Your Majesty, you should co for the scene of your first descent to the demoness stronghold tomorrow before noon."
The Emperor agreed to be there at that ti.
Little Mortal then went to the Wise Turtle, who was the only one in good shape, as if she wasn't involved in any of the things that happened here.
"Madam Turtle, if you'll excuse , I'll take my leave.
I will be happy to see you at my ceremony.
If you allow it, I will co here to take you personally."
The Wise Turtle hesitated for a mont because she had been here most of her life; even the Forbidden Jungle's restriction on spiritual sense was because of her!
The planet itself provided her with a safe place to live.
But after thinking about who was asking, she just smiled and agreed.
Opposite of the rest of them, she believed that this child wasn't as unstable and jumpy as they thought.
He is just mischievous, and due to his power, the effect he applies to the world around him is a little too much.
And so, Little Mortal, after patting Mr. Tiger's arrogant head one more ti, left with his followers.
Before leaving, Lady Butterfly, one last ti, tried to tell him about his son and Snow Goddess, but he just said,
"I understand..."
She knew that there was no way to convince him,
So she thought it's better to go there personally.
But she would never go there with that evil bus!
Even immortals like them almost puked!
Wouldn't the whole cultivation world laugh at her if word of it spread?
