    At the Southern Heavenly Gate, a burst of white light shed past.


    An Lin and his friends began to materialize in its wake.


    A man with long silver hair was there to greet them with a smile on his face.


    Earth Immortals Yue Ying and Ming Yuan immediately bowed to him. “We pay our respects to Emperor Ziwei!”


    An Lin and his friends immediately followed suit upon learning the identity of the man in front of them.


    “No need to be so polite, thanks for your hard work.”


    Emperor Ziwei wore a cold expression on his face, but his voice was very gentle, seemingly imbued with the power to soothe one’s heart and alleviate anxiety.


    An Lin raised his head to survey the silver-haired man in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.


    This was his first time seeing a True God, so he was naturally very excited.


    As for the old man he’d met before, who knew if he was actually a True God, after all, he didn’t even tell An Lin his name.


    However, Emperor Ziwei was one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court, also holding the esteemed titles of Lord of the Stars and Master of All Things.


    It was said that he was the godfather of immortal spells, with expertise in all immortal spells.


    It was also said that he controlled the heaven and earth and was able to glean the fate of the whole universe.


    For such an almighty figure to appear before him, how could An Lin not be excited?


    “I’ve heard of your feats in the Wa Realm and I’m here tomend you on a mission well done.


    “It was my oversight that allowed the ck Wing Tribe to take advantage of a loophole in the third-grade spell formation. Here are three pill refinement vouchers which can be redeemed for one immortal pill per voucher of lower than the sixth-grade at the Dou Shuai Pce. Please ept these as my gifts to you.”


    Emperor Ziwei waved his right hand and a golden voucher appeared in each of their hands.


    “Thank you, Emperor Ziwei!” Everyone thanked Emperor Ziwei excitedly.


    These were immortal pills! Each of them were priceless treasures!


    For them to be able to each receive one for free from Dou Shuai Pce was truly a pleasant surprise.


    Emperor Ziwei nodded before shifting his gaze to An Lin as a vast expanse of stars seemed to sh in his eyes.


    Soon, his eyes cleared and An Lin’s figure appeared in his pupils.


    “Student An Lin, I have also heard of your feats. You are the true hero during this incident, so you may keep the Evil-ying Sword as your reward.”


    An Lin was slightly taken aback after hearing Emperor Ziwei’s words.


    To be honest… he was nning to keep the sword anyway.


    But he was naturally still quite grateful to Emperor Ziwei for granting the sword to him.


    After sorting out the matters at hand, Emperor Ziwei returned to the Northern Star Pce.


    “Sigh, it’s just a pity that my cherished sword spirit has been destroyed.”


    The silver-haired man sighed forlornly. If it wasn’t for the fact that the passageway would copse if he forced his way through the Southern Heavenly Gate, he would’ve hurried to Earth long before the third-grade spell formation was infiltrated.


    “Who would have thought that the ck Wing Tribe were also able to ess the Wa Realm. If Her Majesty were to learn of this, I wonder how she would react.” Having thought of this, a series of interesting expressions appeared on his face.


    …


    Within The United University of Cultivation, the story of An Lin and his friendspleting their mission in the mortal world had be the stuff of legends.


    It was originally only a mission to reinforce the Evil Spirit Tower and exterminate the Evil Spirit King.


    But what transpired instead was a legendary tale of An Lin destroying the Demon and Blood Tribes as well as ying the Dark Night Monarch of the ck Wing Tribe.


    The feats of the group members in An Lin’s task force had been exaggerated to extreme proportions.


    An Lin himself had also be a legendary character within the schoolyard, with stories of his feats spreading like wildfire.


    Whether it was belting Heavenly Venerates in the heavens or ying demonic dragons in the seas.


    Even entering the ck Wing Tribe’s mobile castle and ughtering all its inhabitants.


    Regardless of whether they were things he’d actually done or not, they were promoted as true stories either way.


    After hearing about how An Lin killed the Dark Night Monarch, Wang Xuanzhan immediately went to the school office, imploring the teachers to retract his ranking of number one on the Immortal Rankings Board as he did not feel worthy of upying the spot.


    Anyway… these were actually all issues the teachers should worry about.


    The return of An Lin and his friends caused a huge sensation within the school.


    An Lin was simply far too famous, resulting in him encountering quite a bit of trouble when delivering the items he’d purchased from the mortal world for those that requested the items.


    The countless scorching gazes focused upon him wasn’t really the main issue.


    What was an issue was all those that were requesting autographs, asking for photos, as well as presenting flowers and little love-hearts to him…


    An Lin felt as if his head was expanding from dealing with all this.


    <i>Sigh…</i>


    Fame can be a double-edged sword!


    Liu Qianhuan, however, didn’t really seem to care about the tales of his feats. After receiving the newest edition game she’d requested, she immediately carried out some magical modifications before proceeding to destroy An Lin in the game.


    The snacks that Yue Tu requested were also delivered to her by Su Qianyun.


    After all, only females could enter the Moon Pce, all males and dogs alike were barred from entry.


    Not long after, Da Bai also came to An Lin’s home with Zhao Huaiyin in tow.


    Da Bai maintained his giant form, exuding an air that was both cute and formidable at the same time. He waved hisrge furry tail and implored to An Lin with a cute expression.


    “An Lin, you’re bing so strong, I want to be your beast pet, woof!”


    An Lin: “…”


    Zhao Huaiyin: “…”


    An Lin thought back to the exhration of dog kinesis flight.


    And then…


    Immediately agreed!


    Zhao Huaiyin locked himself within a toilet stall, weeping with heartbreak.


    Dogs were like daughters!


    He raised him painstakingly from birth, but in the end, they would still ‘marry’ themselves off without a second thought…


    “But I can’t sign a contract with you right now, I have to go back to the Mythological Beast Sect in a few days to receive my inheritance. I cane back to sign a contract with you after that’s all done!”


    Da Bai wagged his tail buoyantly.


    “No problem, there’s no hurry, will Zhao Huaiyin apany you?” An Lin asked with a smile on his face.


    “Yes, I have to go back as well to receive my reward from the sect.”


    Zhao Huaiyin replied upon his return from weeping in the toilet stall.


    Zhao Huaiyin’s duties as the caretaker would conclude the moment a beast core is formed in Da Bai’s body.


    After this, he was entitled to a rich reward from the Mythological Beast Sect.


    Speaking of which, he was really only able toplete his duties due to indirect assistance from An Lin.


    Hence, his feelings toward An Lin right now could only be described as love interwoven with hatred.


    After bidding farewell to Da Bai and Zhao Huaiyin, An Lin’s life regained some normalcy.


    The cultivating lifestyle in the school was quite nd.


    During his studies, everything was exactly the same as it had once been aside from the fact that he was receiving a lot more attention.


    Xu Xian, in the meantime, was constantlyining about having no cars to drive, rendering her unable to experience the speed and exhration from drag-racing, leaving her to reminisce about her time in the mortal world.


    Finally, as their first year at the university was drawing to a conclusion, she sessfully broke through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage.


    The breakthrough fulfilled her pursuit for speed and exhration as it allowed her to constantly fly around at high speeds through sword kinesis flight.


    She even dragged An Lin along once as they flew through the clouds at dusk on her sword.


    The two of them traversed through the beautiful sea of clouds, leaving trails of white in their wake.


    S-shaped curvature flight, U-shaped boomerang flight, W-shaped flight with sharp descents and ascents, O-shaped circuit flight…


    That experience… once again awakened An Lin’s tachophobia and acrophobia.


    The terrifying feeling of fluctuations in gravity was something all cultivators who’d just begun sword kinesis flight must ovee.


    However, An Lin was clearly unable to adapt.


    Not only was he unable to adapt, but the fear in his heart grew only stronger from his traumatic experience.


    He recalled that his legs were trembling and his throat was raw and hoarse from screaming after disembarking from Xu Xian’s sword.


    At that time, he began to miss Da Bai.


    He missed the sense of security during dog kinesis flight, where he couldy on his furry body without a care in the world.


    Soon, the first year of university life reached its conclusion.


    The end of the year examination for first-years was also officially announced.
