Why was he being invited into such a retarded-sounding sect?!

An Lin’s heart was roaring with rage, but a polite smile lingered on his face.

Chen Chen continued with a sincere expression, “Junior Student An Lin, the fact that you’re able to use the Finger of the Heavenly Dao shows that you have an affinity with our Heaven Crushing Sect because the Finger of the Heavenly Dao is the first technique of our Heaven Crushing Sect! Not only would normal cultivators be unable to master the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, but they would also be unable to even touch that realm even if they tried with all their might for thousands of years!”

An Lin’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

When he was observing the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, the system had told him that a defect existed in the Heavenly Dao. Both the Heaven Obliterating Faction and Heaven Mending Faction proposed different paths to attaining the True Dao, and the Finger of the Heavenly Dao was the first technique of the Heaven Obliterating Faction.

As such, could it be the case that the Heaven Crushing Sect wasn’t some retarded sect, but instead, it was a branch of the Heaven Obliterating Faction?

If that was the case, then he really couldn’t ignore what Chen Chen was saying.

“Senior Student, what does your Heaven Crushing Sect do?” An Lin asked.

A joyful expression appeared on Chen Chen’s face as An Lin finally expressed some interest in his proposal. “There is a defect in the Heavenly Dao, and if we can’t find a way around it, the world is going to crumble. The mission of our Heaven Crushing Sect is to destroy the Heavenly Dao and create a new Heavenly Dao in order to become the masters of all the worlds! Of course, I can only disclose the specific details of our plan to you when you become a member of the sect.”

An Lin was completely astounded after hearing Chen Chen’s introduction.

Holy f*ck, were they really going to f*ck the heavens?!

Not only were they going to crush the heavens, but they were also going to take its place?

This was simply too terrifying to even think about…

An Lin joined his hands in a salute. “Sorry for the intrusion.”

Chen Chen blinked with incomprehension. “What?”

“I only want a safe and happy life, goodbye!” An Lin replied with a sincere expression.

Chen Chen: “…”

It was one thing to talk about defying the heavens, but An Lin could tell that Chen Chen was dead serious…

That made everything extremely f*cking scary. What vendetta did he have against the heavens? Why was he so fixated on crushing the heavens?!

Setting aside how difficult and arduous that path would be, just the backlash from the Heavenly Dao was not something he could bear.

An Lin didn’t have any big dreams. He only wanted to live out a safe, happy life with Xu Xiaolan, as well as his family and friends. He wasn’t even that fixated on attaining immortality.

Living for ten thousand to a hundred million years was about enough. Any longer than that, and it would probably get boring.

He only had simple dreams…

So why would he participate in the grand effort to crush the heavens? What was the point?!

He should leave things like saving the world to the protagonist of this world—Senior Student Chen Chen!

With this in mind, An Lin immediately stood up in preparation to leave.

“Don’t rush to decide now, Junior Student An Lin. Think about it first.” An anxious expression appeared on Chen Chen’s face as he stood up as well. “You’re able to use the Finger of the Heavenly Dao, so I can make you the third heavenly disciple as soon as you enter the sect!”

An Lin’s face convulsed. “Stop right there. I’m not agreeing to this even if I can become the Celestial Thearch!”

An Lin’s instincts told him that getting caught up in something like this was going to be extremely problematic, so he chose to run away.

“Senior Student, if there’s nothing else you want to talk to me about, then I’ll be taking my leave now.”

An Lin waved at Chen Chen before leaving.

Chen Chen raised a hand and seemed to want to say something more, but he heaved a light, forlorn sigh in the end and let An Lin go.

“So be it. It’s already a step in the right direction for you to learn about the existence of our sect. Perhaps our paths will cross again in the future someday. In any case, the doors of the Heaven Crushing Sect are forever open to you,” Chen Chen said in a light voice.

His words flowed into An Lin’s ears, but the latter did not reply as he flew away atop his black brick.

Chen Chen’s body also slowly disappeared as he looked at An Lin’s receding figure.

An Lin returned to Qing Yu City atop his brick, and everyone gathered around him.

“Huh? Where is Mr. Chen Chen?” Department Head Jin Hu asked.

“He had something else to do, so he left,” An Lin explained.

Senior Student Chen Chen was far too busy f*cking the heavens, so mortals like them should just leave him alone!

“Oh.” A hint of disappointment flashed past Chen Yu’s eyes, and he said, “We were planning to hold a celebratory feast tonight. After all, we destroyed the entire Blood Tribe army, and he was the main hero as he had slain Morton.”

“That’s ok, even if he didn’t leave, he still wouldn’t attend anyway.” An Lin shook his head.

“Why?” Chen Yu was perplexed.

“I had just presented about a dozen spirit fruits to him on a table, and he didn’t even eat one. From that, I have enough evidence to deduce that he is a celestial being who is not interested in our food!” An Lin analyzed with a serious expression.

Jin Hu: “…”

Chen Yu: “…”

That night, a massive celebratory feast was set up all over the streets of Qing Yu City.

All the inhabitants and soldiers of the city were ecstatic that the threat had been eliminated.

The inhabitants of these border cities were mostly quite tough and resolute people, and it was exactly because of this that their celebrations were more bustling and lively. Everyone danced and sang to their hearts’ content to express their joy and elation.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands as they strolled along the streets together, attracting many admiring gazes along the way. The man who was slightly handsome and the woman who was exquisitely beautiful was a match made in heaven

Fireworks blossomed in the sky in a spectacular show of colors as lanterns were released into the air to commemorate the fallen soldiers. All of them flew slowly into the air, creating a romantic atmosphere against the backdrop of the starry night sky.

Of course, “slightly handsome” was just An Lin’s modest evaluation of himself. He was actually a dashing sword immortal who managed to woo many young women on the streets, and this was evident from all the presents he received as he walked.

“Big Brother An Lin, here are some flowers for you!”

An adorable little girl thrust the bunch of tulips in her hands at An Lin.

“Thank you, little girl.” An Lin accepted the flowers and patted her head with a doting expression.

Tulips were flowers that represented holiness, happiness, and victory, so it was quite a fitting gift for an occasion like this.

“Big Brother An Lin, I drew this for you, and I hope I can become just as outstanding as you someday so that I can protect my city!” A little boy with dark skin but a pair of particularly bright eyes presented a drawing to An Lin.

An Lin looked at the handsome man in the picture and immediately raised his thumbs in praise. “Very well-drawn! You’ve captured my grace and elegance as a sword immortal perfectly!”

These were not just mere words of flattery; the words came from the bottom of his heart as the little boy’s artistic skills really were fantastic!

At least a hundred times better than his own, that was for sure!

Xu Xiaolan poked her head over and looked at the drawing before giving her opinion on it. “It’s not very good. The man in the drawing is much more handsome than you are, so it’s not realistic anymore. It looks like a photoshopped image.”

“Hey, can you not slander me in front of little children?” An Lin’s expression darkened.

“Alright, Big Sister Xiaolan, I’ll be sure to make my artwork more realistic next time!” The little boy giggled as he ran away.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan strolled through the night market, and lights flashed around them as sweet-sounding music flowed into their ears from the buildings nearby. Both of them basked in the joyful atmosphere.

An Lin was very glad that he had chosen to leave Huang Quan City to participate in the mission to bring down Morton. Otherwise, he would not have been able to participate in such a lively and joyful celebration.

“Here, Xiaolan, a skewer of sugar-coated moon haws for you!” An Lin passed the snack that he had just obtained to Xu Xiaolan.

These moon haws were crispy and supple, and they glowed with a faint white light, resembling miniature moons. All of these moon haws were extremely tasty.

Xu Xiaolan took the sugar-coated moon haws from An Lin before taking a small bite, and her eyes narrowed with pleasure from the delicious, sweet taste of the haws.

A smile appeared on her face, and her eyes curved like crescent moons as her intricate cheeks moved from the motion of her chewing in an adorable display.

Fireworks continued to blossom in the night sky.

The brilliant light of the fireworks shone on her face, making her appear particularly vibrant and enchanting.

“Hmm… this is really good! An Lin, you should have some too!” Xu Xiaolan passed the skewer of sugar-coated moon haws to An Lin with a dainty smile on her face as her bright eyes rippled like water.

An Lin bit off a haw and chewed on it to find that it was indeed quite delicious!

Furthermore, the fact that Xiaolan had handed the skewer to him further enhanced the flavor!

A joyful smile appeared on his face. This was perhaps the safe and happy life he yearned for where there was a joy to be derived from a somewhat mundane life.

An Lin held on to Xu Xiaolan’s hand for the entire time they were together as he was unwilling to let her go.
