Inside, there were over a dozen nuclear bombs, plus so specialty items from the Underworld that he could study in his free ti.
After tallying his loot, he prepared to return to Central Earth. Of course, he didn't forget to completely refine the holy sword spat out by the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud. Then he gave the Transmission Array and the spatial tunnel a vicious twist, destroying them completely.
He had thus easily resolved the Underworld's second invasion. The Earth Immortals from the Underworld were about to explode with anger, but they could only watch helplessly. With the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud's assistance, Lin Tang had no fear of their incarnations besieging him; dealing with them was like child's play. Under such circumstances, how could they dare send more fodder before thinking of a counterasure?
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tang arrived within the borders of Central Earth.
Xuan Nu sohow sensed his arrival and appeared before him instantly, looking him up and down. Then, she was shocked.
"Why do I sense a trace of Immortal Qi on you?"
"No kidding. I was captured by an Immortal. Isn't it normal to have so of their aura rub off on ?"
"What?!" Xuan Nu was completely stunned. She never imagined that the enormous hand that had snatched Lin Tang belonged not to an Earth Immortal, but to a true Immortal. They both contained the word "Immortal," but the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.
Upon learning that Lin Tang's master was also an Immortal, Xuan Nu's composure completely crumbled. Is it too late for to suck up to him now? I want to ascend too!
Her heart and mind were in chaos, sending her thoughts spiraling. Then, she was filled with imnse regret.
"If you could have ascended with them, you would have completely transcended! Instead, you were thrown back here..."
Lin Tang rolled his eyes. "Transcend my ass. If I had ascended with them, I would have been wiped out the mont I arrived. Anyway, cut the crap. Where's my wife? Don't tell you possessed her while I was away."
"Hehe, of course not. Rest assured, she's doing just fine!" Xuan Nu laughed sheepishly, filled with deep regret.
If only I had known that Lin Tang's master was an Immortal with such powerful backing, I would have rather died than sched to possess Ning Yuexi! Now, he's holding a grudge against , creating a rift between us. He has a terrible impression of . How can I possibly turn this around?
Shortly after, Lin Tang was reunited with Ning Yuexi.
He was very pleased to see she had already broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Ning Yuexi could also finally relax, seeing that he was safe and sound. She then honestly confessed that her breakthrough was all thanks to his master's help.
"Right, where is your venerable master now?"
"...Sigh, it's a long story!"
When she learned that the Heavenly Calculator had been forcibly taken away and his fate was grim, Ning Yuexi beca sad as well.
Xuan Nu stared at the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud. Once she knew it was an Immortal Artifact, she was consud by envy, drooling, practically wanting to pounce on it and caress it.
"With an Immortal Artifact like this, it looks like resolving the Underworld invasion is practically a sure thing!" Xuan Nu said optimistically, before adding, "However, for the upcoming alignnt of the stars and the descent of the gods... an Immortal Artifact alone won't be enough to win. Lin Tang, did your master leave you any other trump cards?"
The true forms of the gods, especially those that had gone completely mad, were terrifying. No matter how fast the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud was, it would be useless if it couldn't break through their defenses.
"He was captured suddenly by an enemy and then imdiately taken to the Immortal Realm. It's a miracle he managed to leave behind this Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud. How could he have prepared any other trump cards?" Lin Tang shook his head.
Of course, he would never reveal the secret of the Dragon Essence to Xuan Nu. The Dragon Essence was a treasure that even Immortals coveted. Xuan Nu? She was not worthy of his trust at all.
"We'll deal with problems as they arise. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," he said, glancing at Xuan Nu with disdain. "My wife and I have been reunited after a long separation. A certain third wheel should know when to leave."
"You—!" Xuan Nu was furious. What does he take for? A maid he can summon and dismiss at will?
On one hand, she saw a glimr of hope for ascending to immortality through Lin Tang. On the other, with the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud at his side, Xuan Nu knew her own incarnation was no match for him. There was no need to ask for humiliation.
Thus, she suppressed her anger and obediently took her leave.
Ning Yuexi had once thought she was dood to the tragic fate of being possessed. But now, Lin Tang, her man, had relied on his own cultivation and opportunities to protect her and save her from that fate.
At that mont, a torrent of emotions—gratitude, admiration, and love—burst forth from within her. Fighting through her shyness, she took the initiative, pulling his hand and saying passionately, "Lin Tang, let's do our Dual Cultivation again, right now!"
"Uh—" Lin Tang's expression grew awkward. "This is my law body, not my true self. So... can I give you a rain check? I'll pay my dues after my real body gets back."
Ning Yuexi was speechless.
"Then when will your real body be back?"
"I have to wait for the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud to rest for a while. Probably two or three years."
"Huh?!" Ning Yuexi was left completely stunned. "Then why didn't you have your real body co back first and leave your law body over there?"
"Well..." Lin Tang coughed dryly. "I didn't think of that at the ti."
"...Go to hell!"
