Chapter 112 Ferocious Beasts Claim Territory and Sprinkle Divine Liquid! Young Master Wipes His Eyes and Becomes Blessed
The morning light was faint.
Outside the entrance of the Mortal Dwelling, two newly arrived stone lions crouched quietly on the bluestone slabs, one on the left and one on the right.
On the surface, they were merely inanimate objects.
But inside the stone lions, a tempestuous sea was raging at this moment!
Inside the dark-green stone lion on the left.
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's entire body of devil blood was boiling! That bowl of leftover soup mixed with the crushed shell of the Void Giant Crab contained incredibly violent deep-sea void Laws.
This force crashed wildly through his limbs and bones, tearing his Meridians apart, only to reshape them in the next breath with the power of supreme creation.
Destruction followed by rebirth!
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's Devil Emperor Peak Bottleneck, which had been stagnant for hundreds of thousands of years, was like a thin layer of window paper before this domineering force, pierced through instantly!
"Boom—"
A supreme Aura transcending the Devil Emperor was suddenly born within his body!
Inside the white marble stone lion on the right, Cangqiongzi was likewise undergoing a transformative metamorphosis.
His True Immortal Great Perfection Dao foundation was thoroughly baptized by the void Laws, and an illusory Immortal King crown faintly formed above his head!
He had broken through!
The two were ecstatic, but immediately after, a massive fear enveloped them.
Breaking through a major cultivation Realm would inevitably draw the test of the Heavenly Dao, descending a world-destroying Lightning Tribulation!
Sure enough.
Above Qingyun City, the originally clear sky instantly became incredibly gloomy. Tribulation clouds as thick as ink rolled frantically, and terrifying purple lightning traversed the clouds like angry dragons, emitting a heavenly might that could destroy everything.
"Oh no! The Lightning Tribulation is about to strike!"
Cangqiongzi wailed in despair in his heart: "If the Lightning Tribulation strikes at the entrance of the Mortal Dwelling and disturbs the Master, even ten thousand deaths wouldn't atone for our crime!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo was also sweating profusely, desperately suppressing his Aura, but the locking of the heavenly Laws was impossible to escape.
Just at this critical moment.
"Creak—"
The door of the Mortal Dwelling was pulled open a crack from the inside.
Lin Yuan walked out yawning, holding a broom, and looked up at the dark, oppressive sky overhead.
"The weather in Qingyun City is really messed up, isn't it?"
Lin Yuan frowned and muttered with a face full of displeasure: "It's early morning; it just rained yesterday and today it's cloudy again. How am I supposed to air out the quilts? Hurry up and disperse, it's annoying just to look at."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Cangqiongzi and Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo felt a roar in their minds!
They clearly felt an unspeakable supreme will that ignored all rules emerge from Lin Yuan's mouth and soar straight into the clouds!
Words carrying the weight of Law!
In the sky, the world-destroying tribulation clouds—originally aggressive and representing the highest will of the Heavenly Dao—trembled violently like a mouse seeing a cat upon hearing Lin Yuan's words to "hurry up and disperse."
"Swoosh—"
In almost a single breath's time.
The sky full of tribulation clouds didn't even dare to make a sound, directly scattering in all directions at an incredible speed to flee for their lives!
Sunlight once again fell unhindered before the door of the Mortal Dwelling.
Leaving only two stone lions, one on the left and one on the right, completely dazed in the wind.
"Dis... dispersed?"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo swallowed non-existent saliva, his Dao Heart receiving an unprecedented shock.
That was a world-destroying Lightning Tribulation for breaking through to the Immortal King Realm!
A terrifying heavenly punishment that even True Immortals wouldn't dare to face head-on; the Master just stood at the door and cursed a bit, complaining it affected his quilt airing, and the Heavenly Dao was so scared it packed up and ran away?!
"Just what level has the Master's Realm reached? Even the Heavenly Dao has to obediently bow its head and admit fault before the Master!" Cangqiongzi was so moved that he wept tears of joy.
Lin Yuan swept a few fallen leaves from the entrance and was about to turn back.
Just then.
A small black shadow slipped out from the crack in the door.
It was Xiao Hei Gou.
Last night, Xiao Hei had eaten the discarded shell of a million-year-old Void Giant Crab, which was an incredibly nourishing item. Although the stomach of the number one Ancient Devouring Beast was powerful, eating too much meant it inevitably had to excrete some excess Impurities.
It walked with an arrogant swagger, slowly making its way outside the gate.
It looked around for a moment.
Finally, Xiao Hei's gaze locked onto the dark-green stone lion to the left of the gate.
A new arrival, perfect for marking territory!
Xiao Hei Gou strolled over, stopped by the base of the stone lion that Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo had transformed into, sniffed, and then naturally lifted a hind leg.
Inside the stone lion, Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's hair stood on end!
"An Ancient Devouring Beast?! What... what does it want to do?!"
The next moment.
A pale golden stream of water traced a graceful arc and accurately splashed onto Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's stone base.
"Aaaaaah!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo let out a shrill scream in his heart.
Shame! A total humiliation!
He was the grand ancestor of the Demon Realm, and now, not only had he become a gate-keeping stone lion, but he was also being peed on by a dog! If this reached the Upper Realm, how could he ever show his face in the Demon Realm again?!
He almost couldn't stop himself from erupting and swatting this dead dog into meat paste.
But the moment that pale golden liquid touched his petrified body.
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's screams came to a screeching halt.
"Buzz—!"
That pale golden liquid actually contained an incredibly dense Origin of an ancient beast, as well as refined void Law essence!
What Xiao Hei ate was the shell of a million-year-old great demon; the Impurities he excreted were, for the Cultivators of this world, a supreme divine liquid that surpassed even an Immortal Pill!
These liquids instantly seeped into the stone lion, thoroughly solidifying Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's newly reached and somewhat unstable Devil King Dao foundation! It even caused a trace of ancient fierce might that was impervious to all Laws to stain the surface of his devil body!
"This... this is Ancient Divine Liquid?!"
One second Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo felt humiliated, the next he was screaming frantically in his heart, wishing he could absorb all the liquid on the base without wasting a single drop!
"Refreshing! So refreshing! Lord Dog's gift is simply a priceless treasure!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo was so comfortable he almost moaned aloud within the stone.
Opposite him, Cangqiongzi's eyes turned red with jealousy as he watched this scene.
"Why?! Why does this dead dog only pee on the left and not the right?! My base also lacks a bit of divine liquid nourishment!" Cangqiongzi wished he could shout at Xiao Hei Gou to "pee a bit over here too."
"Xiao Hei! You're relieving yourself everywhere again!"
Lin Yuan turned around holding his broom and caught him red-handed.
He frowned, walked over quickly, and gave Xiao Hei a knock on the head with the broom handle.
"Whimper..." Xiao Hei Gou was so scared he quickly tucked his leg, put his tail between his legs, and slunk back into the courtyard.
"Really no sense of hygiene."
Lin Yuan looked at the puddle of water on the stone lion's base and shook his head helplessly.
"Old Wan!" he shouted into the courtyard, "Bring out half a bucket of water and a rag. This dog got the newly bought stone lion dirty, hurry and wash it."
Not long after, Demon Venerable Wanhua ran out carrying half a bucket of clear netherworld yellow spring water and a clean rag.
"Young Master, your old servant can wipe it."
"Go attend to your business, I'll just wipe it while I'm here."
Lin Yuan took the rag, soaked it in the netherworld yellow spring water, and wrung it half-dry.
He walked to the stone lion Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo had turned into, used the rag to wipe the base vigorously a few times, and cleaned away the traces left by Xiao Hei Gou.
Then, he stood up and looked at the stone lion's head.
"The stone the mason sent is good, but the eyes of this lion are carved a bit dull, they look listless."
Lin Yuan muttered while taking the rag soaked in netherworld yellow spring water and slapping it directly onto the stone lion's eyes.
He gave them a hard wipe!
Inside the stone lion.
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo felt a chilling Yellow Springs energy that struck his Soul, pouring violently into his Divine Soul through his eyes!
But immediately after, that cold energy transformed into supreme Dao clarity.
His devil eyes, which could originally only see the surface, actually saw through layers of falsehood under this casual wipe, as if he could see through the Laws of the myriad worlds at a single glance!
"Enlightenment! The Master is personally providing us with enlightenment and dotting our eyes!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo trembled with excitement.
Lin Yuan finished wiping the left side and walked to the white stone lion Cangqiongzi had turned into on the right.
"The eyes of this one aren't very bright either, I'll wipe them too."
The rag swiped across.
Infinite immortal truths instantly flooded into Cangqiongzi's mind, and within those petrified eyes, a trace of Immortal King light that could see through the long river of time faintly flashed.
"Thank you, Master, for the guidance! Thank you, Master, for bestowing the supreme divine eyes!" Cangqiongzi bowed piously in his heart.
Lin Yuan wiped the eyes of both stone lions until they were shiny and bright, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Mm, they look much more spirited like this. As the saying goes, 'dotting the eyes of the painted dragon,' these stone lions also need their eyes brightened to guard the gate properly."
Lin Yuan threw the rag back into the bucket.
"Alright Old Wan, close the door. The weather is good today, let's water the plants in the courtyard some more."
The gate slowly closed.
Outside, the two refreshed stone lions, with supreme Dao faintly flowing in their eyes, crouched on their bases with heads held high.
With the Master's personal enlightenment, even if a million-strong army from the Central Region Immortal Court attacked now, these two stone lions could glare them into a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering state with a single look!
"Old man Cang, we can be considered to have turned misfortune into a blessing and officially joined the staff of the Mortal Dwelling, right?" Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo sent a smug telepathic message.
Cangqiongzi was also full of joy and responded: "Naturally. From now on, as long as we two guardian beasts are here, not even a blind fly can dream of flying into the Master's courtyard!"
Just as the two old monsters were feeling self-satisfied.
"Tap."
A mantis, entirely jade-green and emitting a faint Demonic Qi, flew from somewhere and landed lightly on the tip of the nose of the white stone lion Cangqiongzi had turned into.
Cangqiongzi: "..."
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo: "...Look, the rule you just set has already been broken."
Cangqiongzi was furious, but he was currently a stone lion and didn't dare to move, only able to watch helplessly as the little mantis brandished its two large blades triumphantly on his nose.
This was the price of guarding the gate for the Master—painful yet joyful.
