Chapter 170: A Word Worth A Thousand Gold

The dao song filled the air with a sense of spiritualism.

The atmosphere was filled with an ethereal immortal sound which had drifted here from the boundless space, yet the words were extremely clear, containing the deep and profound meaning of the great dao.

Fatty immersed himself in and had yet to recover from this state.

The dao song only consisted of a few sentences and was roughly about fifty words. This seemed to be hinting that there was a total for forty-nine great daos, with a final layer of mystery covering them all, giving representation to the number ‘fifty’.

This was the song of dao verification by the Dao Ancestor. Ordinary mortals would find it impossible to understand.

It was just a mere fifty words, yet Fatty felt like his head was spinning. The concepts contained within the fifty words encompassed the vastness of the universe. He couldn’t even trace anything.

The message contained within was far too vast. Just the surface of those words was sufficient to make him sink into deep contemplation.

All representing Hongjun, how vast was this concept?

Could this Dao Ancestor Hongjun not be some supreme expert living in seclusion from the world but was a true supreme dao ancestor from the Huaxia legends?

This can’t be correct right?

The mythology civilization was destroyed long ago. If the dao ancestor that could split apart the heavens and earth in the legends still existed, humanity would have long since conquered the universe. How could they be dominated by those alien races and couldn’t even leave the Milky Way Galaxy?

This was illogical.

It seemed like this senior before his eyes must have been someone who walked on a paragon god and devil path, the mythological path of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Fatty came up with the most logical explanation he could think of.

Dao Ancestor Gene?

He panted as a fanatical expression appeared on his face.

What sort of power was this Mythological Genes Association exactly? How deep and vast were their stores of knowledge?

They could even awaken the Dao Ancestor Gene?

If news of this were to spread out, the entire interstellar space would probably be stunned.

Fatty’s heart pounded rapidly, soon to leap out of his chest. He shook his head, not daring to think so much.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he found it.

Right now, he only felt a sense of rejoice and agitation in his heart.

How lucky was he!

By a series of coincidences, he was actually given the chance to join such a prestigious association. Although he had not passed the tests yet, such an opportunity was something that countless people wouldn’t be able to receive.

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, he closed his eyes and no longer spoke.

“Dao Ancestor, what is the test?” Fatty was at a loss, he was still waiting for the test to come.

“The test is within the dao verification song. You need to comprehend it yourself. If you can comprehend it, it means you can. If you cannot, it simply means you cannot. Only by figuring out the true logic of the dao verification song would you have passed the test and be considered as a fated member of the Mythological Genes Association!” Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s words seemed to be covered by layers of immortal mist, not allowing anyone to see through any trace of his thoughts.

In summary, there were only four words—you take a guess?

Fatty frowned. He didn’t even know the exact content, but the test required him to comprehend the true logic? Why was it so difficult.

He furrowed his brows so tightly that even his eyes narrowed to splits.

“Time’s up. It’s time for you to leave.” Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly spoke and waved his hand.

“Dao Ancestor, please give me some hints…” Fatty was shocked. He was prepared to say something more, but he felt his body being enveloped by a formless energy as he was transported away to outside the Purple Clouds Palace.

The door of the mysterious dao palace closed and slowly faded away from his vision, once again covered by a layer of clouds.

“I still don’t know what the entry test is.” Fatty helplessly mumbled and he could only sigh.

“Dao friend Zhu Tiangang, please leave. Dao Ancestor Hongjun asks me to send you off.” At this moment, Feng Lin’s real body appeared before Fatty and had an air of sending people away.

“No, I will not leave. I have to be clear on what the entry test is exactly. I will not be leaving today.” Fatty’s eyes swiveled around. He decided that he would refuse to leave no matter what.

No matter how Feng Lin tried to make him leave, this fatty wouldn’t leave. A teasing look appeared in Feng Lin’s eyes while helplessness was shown on his face. He had no choice then, he drew a deep breath. “Why must you be so troublesome? Dao Ancestor Hongjun is unfathomable and extremely profound, there is a deep layer of meaning behind everything he is doing. If he doesn’t want to tell you about it, he must have his own reasons for that. It’s useless even if you remain here. In addition, the Dao Ancestor has clearly hinted at what the test is supposed to be. It’s just you who still can’t catch it.”

BOOM!

The clouds churned as thunder fell from the sky.

Feng Lin had a look of panic on his face. He bowed to the sky. “Dao Ancestor, please pardon me. Wukong shouldn’t have revealed heavenly secrets.”

After that, he had a fearful look on his face as though he had just created a huge trouble by speaking things he shouldn’t be speaking about. Feng Lin then closed his mouth, not willing to say another word.

The endless clouds enveloped them and propped the two of them up, sending them away from this virtual minor-thousand Mythology Planet.

“Dao friend Zhu Tiangang, leave quickly. I’m in dire straits now because of you. It’s useless even if you continue to remain here.” Feng Lin acted like he was angered by the Fatty and coldly issued an expulsion order.

Fatty’s eyes turned around rapidly. He no longer looked like a fat pig but a cunning fox instead. He hurriedly pulled Feng Lin to the side and spoke in a mysterious tone of voice, “Dao friend Wukong, seems like you know about the hidden meaning behind Dao Ancestor’s hint. Can you reveal a little to me? Just a little will do!”

Staring at the sneaky look on his face, Feng Lin coldly laughed.

As expected of a cultivator on Pigsy Mythological Path. His heart was truly as scheming as the pig demon in the legends.

As expected, you would awaken the mythology gene that reflected the sort of person you were. What a work of nature!

But wasn’t this something Feng Lin wanted?

Even if your path was the Pigsy Mythology Path and you are extremely cunning, you must know that my path is the mythology path of Sun Wukong. I can counter you in all aspects.

Feng Lin pretended to be angered. “Dao friend Zhu Tiangang, what do you mean by this? Earlier when I revealed some secrets, I already suffered the anger of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If there isn’t a sufficient price, don’t even imagine I will reveal anything. It’s impossible!”

Although Feng Lin said it was impossible, given how cunning this fatty was, he instantly discerned the deeper meaning behind Feng Lin’s words. It wasn’t that Feng Lin wouldn’t reveal any secrets, but it depended on whether he wanted to pay a price or not.

Was Feng Lin trying to earn some money from him?

A confident smile appeared on Fatty’s face as his wealthy aura towered up to the sky.

In this world, there was nothing that couldn’t be settled by star coins. If 1,000 star coins couldn’t work, a 100 million star coins would surely be effective!

“Dao friend Wukong, we have already left the area of the Mythological Genes Association’s world. If you tell me now, nothing will happen to you. Dao Ancestor Hongjun wouldn’t be able to sense anything.” Fatty persuaded.

Feng Lin coldly smiled and glanced at the fatty. “You might not know this as you are just a frog in the well. You have no idea how powerful the Dao Ancestor is. He can already calculate fate and know of everything that would happen in the world. How could he have no idea about this?”

Seeing that Feng Lin refused to take the bait, Fatty gritted his teeth. He no longer wasted words and immediately took out his ultimate technique. “Dao friend Wukong, real men state their intentions clearly. As long as you tell me what the mission of the test is, I can give you any amount of star coins. How about 100,000 star coins?”

Feng Lin coldly smiled. He wasn’t moved at all.

“200,000 star coins!”

“300,000 star coins!”

“500,000 star coins!”

Fatty kept increasing the stakes, having an expression on his face as though money meant nothing to him.

The smile on Feng Lin’s face was still as cold as ever. “Each of Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s words is as valuable as pearls, worth a thousand gold per character. How can I easily tell them to others?”

Feng Lin still wasn’t hooked yet? Fatty felt that he was in a difficult situation.

Could he have read Feng Lin’s intention wrongly? This dao friend Wukong didn’t want to gain some money from him by withholding information?

Wait, he was not incorrect.

Given his judgment, as long as someone was the slightest bit keen toward making star coins, he wouldn’t miss them.

All of a sudden, this Fatty thought of the words spoken by Feng Lin. He gradually saw through the layers of meaning. A character worth a thousand gold? Things were as clear as day then.

A smile finally appeared on Fatty’s face.

He decisively continued, “Let’s do things this way then. A character for a thousand gold. Dao friend Wukong, as long as you tell me the secret, I will pay you 1,000 star coins per character. There is no upper limit!”

Deal!

Feng Lin didn’t hesitate and agreed straightaway for fear of Fatty changing his mind. He immediately reached out to shake Fatty’s hand, to express that he was willing to deal.

Mhm…yummy!
