Chapter 2001: Joining the Heaven Mending Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Within the cabin of life.

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s lips twitched at the sight of the shrinking spatial hole in front of him.

White Spirit Snake and Black Spirit Snake both wore awkward expressions and were at a loss for words.

Yi Xi was the first to break the silence. “My God, Her Majesty Nuwa was begging Master to join the Heaven Mending Sect just a second ago, but now, she has completely ditched Master to go on a date with An Lin!”

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s hands shuddered, and he glared at the fatso beside him as he repressed the urge to throw up blood.

Things wouldn’t have been so awkward if nothing was said.

So why did Yi Xi insist on saying something? Was he trying to embarrass his master?!

“A date with An Lin? You better watch your mouth!” Black Spirit Snake exploded with rage, and she immediately rested her massive sword on Yi Xi’s neck.

Yi Xi almost collapsed from fear, and he immediately rephrased, “I’m sorry... Her Majesty Nuwa is only meeting Sect Leader An Lin to discuss the monumental mending of the heavens.”

Black Spirit Snake harrumphed coldly before withdrawing her massive sword.

“Is Senior An Lin really going to join us? I’m so happy!” White Spirit Snake cupped her face with her hands as excitement shimmered in her eyes.

Black Spirit Snake turned a resigned gaze to her hopeless sister. She didn’t even know what to say anymore.

Why did White Spirit Snake idolize An Lin so much? It didn’t make sense! Was An Lin really that attractive?

Black Spirit Snake couldn’t help but scoff with disdain as she recalled An Lin’s infuriating smile. She simply couldn’t bring herself to admire such an annoying man!

At Yue Tong City.

Countless stars shimmered in the night sky.

Within a peaceful courtyard.

“Your Majesty Nuwa, please have some tea.” Xu Xiaolan had brewed some tea for Nuwa.

Nuwa’s expression faltered slightly at the sight of Xu Xiaolan’s geriatric features. However, vibrant divine light then flashed through her eyes, and she soon came to a realization. “Divine Phoenix Maiden, I almost didn’t recognize you. It looks like you’re undergoing a certain transformation...”

An Lin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. “Your Majesty Nuwa, do you know why Xiaolan has become like this?”

Xu Xiaolan also turned to Nuwa with curiosity in her eyes.

However, Nuwa shook her head. “I don’t know what the Divine Phoenix Maiden will become in the end. All I can tell is that she is undergoing a certain transformation. As for whether this will be a positive or negative transformation, that is not something I can ascertain. It seems to have something to do with her choice.”

“Something to do with my choice?” A confused expression appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. As far as she could tell, she hadn’t done anything.

“It’s not going to be a life-threatening transformation, is it?” An Lin was quite concerned.

“No.” Nuwa shook her head firmly.

An Lin finally heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

A faint smile appeared on Nuwa’s face. “Now, shall we discuss your decision to join the Heaven Mending Sect? Why do you suddenly want to join the Heaven Mending Sect? Did something happen?”

An Lin adopted a serious expression as they moved on to the main topic of conversation.

Had something happened? Nope! He just wanted to be in the loop!

“Nothing really happened. It’s just that I want to do something for this world, but I’m not sure what I should do. I feel like your Heaven Mending Sect takes a more gentle approach than the Heaven Crushing Sect, which is why I want to know more about your sect,” An Lin replied.

Nuwa nodded with a smile. “You’re right. Mending of the heavens is the best way to save the entire Tai Chu Continent. It’s also a method with virtually no side-effects.”

An Lin turned to Nuwa with a serious expression. “What is the chance of success? And what is your specific plan?”

“That’s a sensitive topic...” Nuwa turned to look up into the sky with a meaningful smile. “There may be unwelcome eavesdroppers around...

“I’ll tell you everything in detail when I take you to the secret realm. However, you’ll have to sign a contract and truly join the Heaven Mending Sect first,” Nuwa elaborated with a smile.

“Sign a contract? What contract?” An Lin’s expression shifted slightly.

“The heaven mending contract. After you sign the contract, you’ll possess different power as well as many privileges!” Nuwa explained.

An Lin didn’t expect this hurdle. He hesitated momentarily before breaking the silence. “I have a question, and I’m not sure if I should ask it...”

Nuwa nodded with an encouraging smile. “You can ask me anything.”

“Um...” An Lin was a little uneasy. “If I join the Heaven Mending Sect and sign the heaven mending contract, can I still join the Heaven Crushing Sect?”

Nuwa: “...”

Xu Xiaolan: “...”

Silence ensued.

“I feel like you shouldn’t have asked after all...” Nuwa’s lips twitched ever so slightly as she took a deep breath. “To think you would still think about the Heaven Crushing Sect after joining my Heaven Mending Sect, and that you would tell me this...”

“Honesty is a virtue. I don’t want to keep anything from you,” An Lin spoke with an earnest expression.

“That may be the case, but what you’re doing now is the equivalent of throwing sh*t into my face.” Nuwa’s voice had cooled significantly.

“Gasp...”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both drew sharp intakes of breath.

These words were coming out of Nuwa’s mouth?

They knew that Nuwa had really been enraged!

“My apologies, I was just curious about what the Heaven Crushing Sect would get up to. Only by knowing one’s enemies can one come out on top. I’m only asking this for the sake of the Heaven Mending Sect...” An Lin immediately began to grasp at straws.

“The Heaven Crushing Sect and Heaven Mending Sect appear to be sworn enemies, but the conflict between the two is nowhere near as fierce as you imagine it to be,” Nuwa explained in an indifferent voice.

“Why’s that?” An Lin really was confused this time.

“The mending of the heavens and crushing of the heavens won’t actually interfere with one another. The final step is the most critical step for both parties.

“If our Heaven Mending Sect reaches the final step first and completes the Heavenly Dao, then the Heaven Crushing Sect won’t be able to crush the heavens no matter what they do. Likewise, if the Heaven Crushing Sect completes their final step and completely destroys the Heavenly Dao, then our Heaven Mending Sect won’t be able to do anything either.”

An Lin was enlightened. “So this is a contest of speed?”

“It’s also a competition of success rate. If one party fails in taking their final step, then they will have no choice but to give the opportunity to the opposition,” Nuwa replied.

An Lin stroked his chin in deep thought. “So, in essence, not only are the two sects conflicting parties, they will actually complement each other in a way. If one sect fails, the other one can inherit the baton...”

“That’s right. This is a good thing for the Tai Chu Continent, and it’s the only reason why I haven’t targeted the Heaven Crushing Sect. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I do not detest them,” Nuwa continued.

An Lin chose to remain silent. He knew that this was a conflict in ideologies, and it was against his best interests to speak out for either party.

“An Lin, do you want to join the Heaven Mending Sect or not?” Nuwa continued, “All you have to do to join the Heaven Mending Sect is to sign the heaven mending contract. I won’t prohibit you from interacting with the Heaven Crushing Sect. Just make sure that I don’t see you doing it...”

This was the biggest concession she could make.

“An Lin, what is your decision?” Nuwa asked one final time.

An Lin nodded. “I’ll join the Heaven Mending Sect!”
