Lin Yang walked out of the teleportation array and saw that the person who came to greet him was actually his father. He immediately bowed respectfully and said
"Meeting Father."
Lin Fan looked at Lin Yang with calm eyes, but with a caring smile on his face, and said
"Welcome to Xuanhuang City, Lin Yang."
Lin Yang stood up and looked around. This was a city, peaceful and harmonious, completely different from the bustling front line of blood and fire that he believed in.
Seeing Lin Yang's confusion, Lin Fan led the way and said
"This Xuanhuang City is the front line. Do you feel that the pressure of the Heavenly Dao on you has weakened a lot?"
Lin Yang felt it a little and found that it was indeed the case. When he was in Guigu City, he felt very depressed, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart. But when he arrived in Xuanhuang City, he no longer felt that strong depression. Now he felt like he was wearing armor. Although it was heavy, he felt very safe.
Lin Fan saw Lin Yang nod and continued
"Xuanhuang City is located on the world's highest mountain, Mount Kunlun. You can sense it, right? It's impossible for anyone except cultivators above the Jindan stage to survive in a place like this."
Lin Yang looked around and found that he was indeed on a high mountain. He had now advanced to the Golden Core Stage, so his dependence on external materials had basically disappeared, but he was very dependent on energy.
This place is very special. It has abundant energy but very scarce materials. Everything needs to be transported through the teleportation array.
However, the cost of transporting material resources through the teleportation array is very high.
But why was this place chosen as the front line?
Lin Yang ignored it.
Lin Fan continued
"Do you know why it's called Xuanhuang City? Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow... Xuanhuang City exists for war. This war is the war between our world of cultivation and the world of demons."
"Demon world? World war?"
Lin Yang was shocked!
"Yes, the demon world is actually the twin world of our cultivation world. Our two worlds have occasionally connected since ancient times. We can be considered to understand each other. The original world was not the demon world, but the immortal and Buddha world. Although there were occasional frictions between the two in the past, they were not serious. However, this time, the connection has become the demon world. The demon world is extremely aggressive, and our cultivation world can only fight back."
"Where is the battlefield?"
"That pyramid over there is the battlefield between the two worlds."
Lin Yang looked at where Lin Fan was pointing. That was the center of Xuanhuang City. A tall golden pagoda stood there. From time to time, cultivators passed through the wall of the golden pagoda and disappeared.
"Those are the dimensional passages of the three battlefields. They correspond to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Transformation Spirit respectively."
Lin Yang nodded solemnly to show that he understood.
"That demonic disaster?"
"The worlds are connected, the origins are connected, and the spiritual energies are naturally connected. Their demonic energy entering our cultivation world and our spiritual energy entering their demon world are actually the same. For their demon world, the same disaster, the spiritual disaster, may have occurred.
However, these disasters only affect ordinary people and low-level cultivators. We in the Jindan stage are not greatly affected. Even powerful cultivation families are not affected by them.
You've also noticed that the demons in the rear are only at the demon soldier and demon lieutenant levels, corresponding to the Qi training and foundation building stages. They're not a danger to us, but they've nearly severed our foundation, forcing us to establish a base city to manage them.
In this regard, you have done a great job. Lin Yang, many of your regulations are very suitable for the current base cities. Our family's base city has already begun to implement them, and other base cities have also followed suit. This is also a great merit. "
Lin Yang glanced at Lin Fan with suspicion. He felt his father's speech was different. His father used to be strict, quiet and serious. Now, he was polite yet distant, his words overflowing with meaning. For example, when he spoke of urban management, even when he was praising it, Lin Yang didn't sense any sincerity.
When did my father and I become like this?
"However, it's best not to keep changing these things. You've done a great job. Now we need to focus on implementation and improvement. However, you've already taken action. You must trust our people."
Sure enough, the "just" at the end completely reversed the meaning. Lin Yang didn't understand why his father had to go through so much trouble to talk to him. His father used to always say what he meant.
Never beat around the bush with yourself.
"What does father mean?"
"This isn't just my opinion; it's the opinion of the entire Elders Council. We want you to focus on research and development. If you want to do other things within your capabilities, we will fully support you. We've prepared the best refining room for you, providing you with the most complete refining materials and the best refining conditions."
Lin Yang was no ordinary twenty-year-old. The total time he had spent in the virtual space was longer than Lin Fan's age. Although his focus was on research and practice, he still learned and communicated with the characters in the virtual space.
I have also studied management and know this. I am considered wise and understand the meaning of these words.
My father used some rhetoric on me, with various preconditions. He had never done this before.
It seems that my father knows about this. So, has he given up on me too? Is he treating me like another stranger?
Lin Yang replied dejectedly
"OK."
Lin Fan seemed not to notice Lin Yang's low mood and continued to talk to Lin Yang.
"I'll take you to your refining room. It's very close, almost here. How about it?"
Lin Yang casually toured the refining room and was impressed by its large size and comprehensive facilities. He paid no attention to the rest. To him, the most important thing was the refining room in the virtual space. The one here was just a cover, so he didn't care.
"You have made outstanding contributions to the family. The family values you very much and has specially assigned a Nascent Soul stage guard to protect your safety. Lin Jiu, this is Lin Yang, the person you will protect from now on. Lin Yang, this is Lin Jiu, your personal guard from now on."
Lin Jiu was a serious, middle-aged man, his entire body emitting an astonishing bloody aura, a killer god from the battlefield. The family really valued me.
Lin Yang looked at Lin Jiu and thought
Is this a watcher or a protector? Or perhaps both? They're so brazen, aren't they afraid I'll make things difficult for them if I find out?
Lin Yang thought about it for a moment and realized that everyone in his family knew about his parasitism, but they were reluctant to give up the huge benefits he brought to them. So they came up with this method?
