Monster Paradise

Chapter 1730: Liu Fu’s Invitation

Mr. Fu’s return was undoubtedly great news.

In reality, Lin Huang was not the happiest one when they heard the news of his return; rather, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan were.

After reuniting with him, Lin Xin held onto Mr. Fu’s arm and asked him not to leave.

Lin Xuan, who was usually cold and quiet, revealed a rare smile.

Bai and the other imperial monsters were also over the moon to see the old master return home.

Mr. Fu felt pretty good seeing so many familiar faces.

Although he had never stopped cultivating over the past three years, his combat strength had only elevated by a rank. He was at third-rank true god-level now.

He was considered the person with the lowest combat strength among the group, yet everyone loved and respected him.

Lin Xin and Lin Xuan had elevated to ninth-rank true god-level much earlier thanks to the vast amount of resources they accumulated throughout the years.

Chan Dou, on the other hand, had been elevated to heavenly god-level.

Not to mention the imperial monsters that were already on lord-level now.

It was not about him being Lin Huang’s master, but rather that his image as a senior had been rooted in their hearts since the beginning.

“Not bad, not bad. All of you have had significant growth.” Mr. Fu did not have any jealous thoughts.

Although everyone had surpassed him in terms of combat strength, he was happy.

Three years ago, he resolutely chose to leave as he was worried that he would lose his will to cultivate further if he stayed by Lin Huang’s side.

Now seeing these juniors around Lin Huang remain in high fighting spirit, having not lost their determination to improve themselves, it showed that Lin Huang had not spoiled them.

He knew that if he were to stay, he would be at least ninth-rank true god-level now. However, he did not regret the choice he made.

After all, one would make countless choices throughout one’s lifetime. One should move on after making up their mind about it and move on to doing it.

There was no need to look back and regret.

…

Since Mr. Fu’s return, Lin Huang could clearly feel that the atmosphere at the Sword Alliance’s headquarters was much more upbeat now.

Even Lin Huang was feeling very relaxed for no reason.

He could not help but secretly exclaim that the Sword Alliance finally felt like home with a senior like Mr. Fu around.

Over the next few days, Lin Xin clung onto Mr. Fu, afraid that he would run away once again.

She was still worried even though Mr. Fu promised repeatedly that he would not leave.

Shee would drag Xiao Mo and Lin Xuan to the courtyard Mr. Fu was staying in.

Very soon, Lin Huang returned to his initial routine.

He spent most of his time immersed in the virtual realm cabin, refining those Origin Energy fragments the Nirvana Trees sent out.

When he returned from using the virtual realm cabin a couple of days later, he suddenly sensed a rather familiar aura arriving in the Pilgrim Star Zone.

He appeared before that person in a flash.

“Liu Fu?” Lin Huang was quite surprised to see that it was Liu Fu. “What is it that requires you to come all the way here instead of just informing me through the Royal Token?”

“This isn’t my Primordium. It’s just a clone,” Liu Fu explained with a smile.

“You’ve broken through?”

Lin Huang instantly noticed that the clone’s aura had actually exceeded that of a Lord. It was clearly more powerful than Liu Fu’s Primordium before.

“Your senses are so sharp. I can’t believe you noticed that.” Liu Fu did not seem to expect that Lin Huang managed to tell from a glance. “I’ve just broken through today. My Primordium is still stabilizing his cultivation base.”

“Congratulations! You’re a dao-level master now,” Lin Huang teased while smiling.

He was on dao-level too so, naturally, he did not fear Liu Fu.

Liu Fu did not think too much about it and merely said with a smile, “I’m only on the minor dao-level. I’ll be a real master when I achieve the major dao-level one day.”

“Are there many minor dao-level powerhouses in the universe?” Lin Huang could not help but ask.

He did not seem to see many people who had met dao-level powerhouses from the inheritance memories that he had obtained from the Nirvana Tree.

Among the small number of dao-level powerhouses’ inheritance memories, there were purely cultivation methods. There were no memories regarding this aspect.

“Not many, but not little as well. You should know that the universe comprises countless great worlds, and each great world has an astronomical number of living beings within. The total number of those countless astronomical numbers would make up the number of living beings in the entire universe.”

“When the number is this great, no matter how low the probability of cultivators breaking through to the minor dao-level, there would still be many of them.”

“However, as the universe is extraordinarily vast, dao-level powerhouses are scattered around. It’s very hard for such cultivators to run into each other, which is why even more people think that there are only a few dao-level powerhouses in the universe.”

“I see.” Lin Huang kept nodding as he listened.

He suspected that there were only a few dao-level powerhouses as there were hardly any recordings about other dao-level powerhouses from the inheritance memories he obtained from the Nirvana Trees.

He had only found out about the truth after listening to Liu Fu’s explanation.

“With your level of talent and potential, it’s only a matter of time before you achieve minor dao-level,” Liu Fu comforted.

“Why did you make a clone and come here this time?” Lin Huang circled back to the main subject.

“I’m hosting an upgrade banquet to hype things up,” Liu Fu added, before saying, “To put it bluntly, I want my new and old friends to see that I’ve broken through past lord-level!”

“Indeed, you should let everyone know.” Lin Huang nodded while smiling.

“I came here this time to invite you to join the upgrade banquet.”

“Sure, I’ll definitely be there,” Lin Huang agreed to his request directly.

“Here is the invitation.” Liu Fu handed over a black card as he spoke. There were golden words engraved on it. “Crush it on the day. A dimensional portal will open automatically and send you to the banquet venue.”

“There’s such an advanced invitation card?” Lin Huang took the invitation card from Liu Fu’s hand. He began to think of what gift he should get Liu Fu.

Liu Fu could not help but speak after handing the invitation to Lin Huang. “I thought that you wouldn’t stay long in this great world since the last time we met. It’s been half a year, and you’re still here. Are you unwilling to leave, or are there any other reasons for this?”

“There are some matters that I haven’t settled.” Lin Huang gave a perfunctory answer.

Liu Fu shook his head, feeling a little helpless. “I suggest that you head out to the universe soon. With your current ability, it’s hard for you to obtain enough cultivation resources in this great world. Meanwhile, there are opportunities and resources everywhere in the universe.”

“Also, report yourself to Royal’s headquarters as soon as possible when you get to the universe. You’re a Rank-S member, so you can claim a welcome gift…”

“Focus on your cultivation and try your best to break through to dao-level. Don’t waste time on things that aren’t important.”

Lin Huang knew that Liu Fu was advising him out of kindness. He merely listened quietly and nodded his head every now and then.

Close to half an hour had passed by the time Liu Fu was done speaking.

He then bid farewell to Lin Huang. The clone that landed in this great world faded away directly.

Lin Huang stood in the air where he was while fiddling with the black card in his hand. He was thinking whether he should put heading to the universe on his agenda soon.
