The Heavenly Calculator had never revealed his origins to Lin Tang. Therefore, Lin Tang still didn't know that he was an Immortal cast down to the mortal realm. As the saying goes, a starved cal is still bigger than a horse. Even though the Heavenly Calculator's cultivation was crippled, he was naturally worlds apart from ordinary mortals. His thods remained mysterious and unfathomable.
For example, with a simple pinch of his fingers, he knew of Lin Tang's current predicant. Then, the seven-colored cloud beneath his feet trembled slightly, becoming increasingly indistinct. WHOOSH. He vanished in an instant, crossing a distance of hundreds of millions of light-years in the next mont. How astonishing! This proved that the seven-colored cloud was undoubtedly an Immortal Artifact. Otherwise, such a feat would be impossible.
If the deities constantly roaming the starry skies had witnessed this scene, they would have turned green with envy. They had it rough, spending enormous amounts of ti in flight. Each of their teleports could cover only a few to several dozen light-years at most. Compared to this seven-colored cloud, their efficiency was on a completely different level.
Just like that, the Heavenly Calculator spent only a short amount of ti returning to the mortal realm. From beyond the atmosphere, he caught sight of Ailin, which was suffering imnsely. He had no intention of rescuing them because he knew that the entire planet was surely under the covert surveillance of Daoist Zhen Yan at that mont. If he dared to make a move, he would easily be discovered—the other party was also an Immortal. Even if it wasn't Zhen Yan's true body that had descended, but just a projected avatar, it was still not sothing the Heavenly Calculator could currently contend with.
The Heavenly Calculator furrowed his brows, deep in thought. How can I 'steal' my disciple from right under that scoundrel Zhen Yan's nose?
「On the other side.」
Witnessing the deaths of tens of millions of people in Ailin, Ning Yuexi found it hard to bear. "Goddess, why don't you try to save them..." she asked, puzzled.
The Mysterious Maiden was taken aback. "I am an Earth Immortal of Central Earth," she said. "Why should I save foreign barbarians?"
Ning Yuexi was speechless. She hadn't expected this to be the reason. Aren't we all... human?
The Mysterious Maiden glanced at her and said indifferently, "The foreign barbarians have their own deities to govern them. If I were to act without permission, it would only offend them and not be worth the trouble."
As long as the deities hadn't gone completely mad, they actually didn't want to see humanity extinguished. This was because human faith could help absorb their madness and maintain their sanity. Deities like the Shadow Master, the Eye of Truth, and the Skull God could have intervened, but they all chose to stand by idly. So why should the Mysterious Maiden from Central Earth ddle? Overstepping her role would only offend them.
Ning Yuexi wanted to speak again, but she suddenly disappeared from where she stood.
The Mysterious Maiden was flabbergasted! She frantically swept the area with her Divine Sense, looking all around her. Who? Who could have silently abducted Ning Yuexi from right beside ? This is simply inconceivable!
Ning Yuexi was also bewildered. In the blink of an eye, she had been transported to an unfamiliar place. How did I get here? And who is this person before ? Is it an enemy?
"Young lady, there's no need to be nervous," the Heavenly Calculator said with a pleasant expression. "You are my disciple's Dual Cultivation partner, right? I sensed that you have his Communication Talisman. Could I borrow it for a mont?"
"You... Are you Lin Tang's master?" Ning Yuexi asked, stunned.
"This old Daoist is known as the Heavenly Calculator," he replied with a nod.
"This junior pays her respects to you, Senior!" Ning Yuexi was overjoyed. "It's wonderful that you have appeared! Lin Tang can be saved now!" She quickly handed over the Communication Talisman and recounted how Lin Tang had been taken away by a giant hand. "I've tried sending him ssages, but he never responded. I'm not sure if sothing bad has happened to him..."
Holding the Communication Talisman, the Heavenly Calculator began drawing in the air while explaining, "He's not dead; he's just been imprisoned by one of my formidable enemies. With this talisman that he personally crafted, I have a fair chance of rescuing him."
As he continued to apply his techniques, the runes on the Communication Talisman underwent significant changes, becoming increasingly profound. Suddenly, the Communication Talisman ignited on its own and was destroyed. But in that instant, the Heavenly Calculator successfully pinpointed Lin Tang's exact location.
"Huh, there are two locations. This lad is quite fortunate to have acquired a Law Body. No wonder!" the Heavenly Calculator remarked with a slight, pleased smile. Since Lin Tang's main body hadn't been captured by Zhen Yan, there was nothing more to worry about. As precious as a Law Body might be, it was nothing compared to one's main body.
"I'll go and bring his main body back. As for you..."
"I wish to return to the Mysterious Maiden's side. Please, Senior, send back."
"With your Luli Pure Body, staying by the side of that little girl, the Mysterious Maiden, you'll be at constant risk of possession. It's too dangerous. I can intercede and warn her not to touch you."
"No, no, no! I am willing to be possessed by her. As long as innocent people can be rescued, I am prepared to die!"
"Is that so? You are a good child," the Heavenly Calculator said, looking at her with new respect. "Well then, since you are my disciple's Dual Cultivation partner, it is only right that I, as his master, grant you an opportunity."
He then pointed a finger at Ning Yuexi, and strands of Dragon Essence adhered to her body.
BOOM!
Ning Yuexi effortlessly broke through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and her cultivation level kept soaring.
What is this? she thought, feeling as if she were dreaming. I broke through, just like that? It was so easy!
This was to be expected. After all, that was the Ancestor Dragon's Dragon Essence, a supre treasure coveted even by Immortals. Ning Yuexi's talent was only diocre, and she had not yet fully comprehended her Cultivation thod. Otherwise, the Heavenly Calculator could have enabled her to break through all the way to the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul Stage in one go.
"Go, then."
The Heavenly Calculator waved his sleeve, and Ning Yuexi was instantly back at the Mysterious Maiden's side.
