Otherworldly Desert Dust

...

The fearsome reputation of the Black Immortal quickly spread throughout Infinite City. The official statement from the Immortal Lineage was still absent, leaving one to wonder if the higher-ups tacitly accepted an excessively powerful demigod claiming to be an immortal, or if they simply regarded such behavior as amusement from a buffoonish upstart.

In any case, the Black Immortal gradually received the support of the Human Clan, especially given the backing from the most populous lineage of the True Martial Super Continent. Wu Hen seemed poised to become a third major force, standing in opposition to the Holy Sect and Da Xuan.

The Immortal Lineage within Infinite City had never expected an emergent black faction. Their approach was wild, their actions bizarre, and their thoughts excessively advanced. Fortunately, they were not ungovernable barbarians, as long as the traditional reverence ceremonies of Infinite City could continue as usual.

"Our Black Immortal plan has been very effective. Sixth-class and Fifth-class Star Gods have started to get along with us and have proactively provided star marker information. The precision of the star markers has now been corrected to seventy percent." Rat said.

"Indeed, it seems the Jianghu is not just about fighting." Wu Hen was quite satisfied.

As Li Feng said, going around collecting one by one would take ages to correct the star markers. Without a clear direction, they would be like sailors in a dark sea within this Otherworldly Dust, eventually sinking.

With a determined direction, no matter how splendid or comfortable this Cang Chu Divine Realm might be, Li Feng would embark without hesitation.

Wu Hen certainly did not forget the mission for coming to Infinite City. His tricks genuinely yielded results, with quite a few gods willing to befriend him. What originally seemed like a star marker ordeal that required opposing the powerful gods of the entire Cang Chu Divine Realm was lessened by the merit of widely spreading across the major factions of the Human Clan.

The difficulty significantly decreased, especially with those gods in hiding. Even if their combat power was overwhelming, finding them would be extremely difficult. Without their starlight, the direction could not be determined.

In Infinite City, the Black Immortal flag stood tall, serving each according to their needs, fostering positive exchanges, and solving many problems easily with unexpected benefits.

...

"Brother Wu, Fairy Gong Qin wishes to see us," Du Mao came over, smiling as he spoke.

"If she were to support me, I wouldn't have to go around preaching virtue," Wu Hen said.

Since Fairy Gong Qin was in Infinite City, it was natural to meet her. Perhaps Gong Qin herself did not expect that he would establish the Black Immortal, and it was a good opportunity to chat, to see how the Immortal Lineage felt about the Black Immortal, and to understand what they were tinkering with in Infinite City.

"How is Fairy Gong Qin's heart demon?" Wu Hen inquired.

"Much better. Her emotions are relatively stable now, no longer shifting between cold and gentle," Du Mao replied.

"In my homeland, this heart demon is called multiple personality disorder. I noticed long ago that Fairy Gong Qin fits this category. Even though she is a fairy, if she encounters obstacles on the path of cultivation, she can trust our scientific methods. In our place, there are advanced medications for such disorders. As long as the fairy takes her medicine on time, all issues of depression, mania, delusions, and multiple personalities would be resolved." Wu Hen analyzed in detail as they walked.

Du Mao indicated his lack of understanding, but Sister Zi Shu, who was accompanying them, began sneezing.

She couldn't understand where Wu Hen got so many peculiar theories and how he turned cultivation tribulations into mental disorders.

...

Upon arriving at Fairy Gong Qin's residence, it was a Jade Pavilion, as beautiful as a sky garden. The agate-like immortal vines became galleries of the floating pavilions, with silk-like waterfalls wrapped around the platforms. Though all the scenery defied gravity, gently drifting as if in space, they were evidently integrated with Qimen Dunjia formations. Ordinary people would get lost and wander endlessly within minutes.

Fairy Gong Qin seemed to have not been seen for many days and was exceptionally playful.

She did not tell Wu Hen and Du Mao how to break the Qimen Dunjia of the Jade Pavilion, leaving them to find the path themselves.

Wu Hen, being an honorable man, opened his mouth without hesitation, "Fairy Gong Qin, your Brother Wu is here to see you. Let your good brother see where you're hiding. If good brother finds you, you will face dire consequences..."

Saying this, Wu Hen took out a cloth strip, blindfolded himself, and then showed a look of excitement and anticipation, highlighting a complete disregard for decorum!

Perhaps genuinely afraid of tarnishing her reputation, Fairy Gong Qin hastily waved her hand to nullify the Qimen Dunjia formation.

The floating scenery, like sentinels, actively cleared the way. Exquisite pebbles flew to the center, laying out a stunning path. It was as if an ingenious garden designer crafted it, allowing guests to appreciate the surrounding masterpieces without getting tired.

"Hehe, Fairy Gong Qin, good brother is coming in," Wu Hen said excitedly, not removing the blindfold as he strode forward.

Zi Shu, sitting on Wu Hen's shoulder, let out a long sigh.

Indeed, a person's character cannot be changed through words. A serious visit, from Wu Hen's mouth, turned inexplicably sleazy.

Following the floating pebbles, they arrived at Jade Flower Building. Inside was an extraordinary fairy, her starry eyes and red lips, skin as white as snow. Despite the surrounding resplendent flowers, none could compare to her celestial appearance, which made them appear dull in contrast.

Zi Shu was also stunned, feeling that the fairy seemed like a figure from a mural, a dreamlike woman, with impeccable features and stature. It's not that such national beauties never existed in human history, but such peerless appearance seemed to require an immensely prosperous dynasty, the result of breeding numerous generations of human beauties within imperial families.

"Sister Zi Shu, why are you drooling?" Wu Hen asked.

"Too beautiful. I feel like I'm turning into a pervert," Zi Shu said.

Seeing such a beautiful fairy, she inexplicably wanted to turn her into a doll that wouldn't resist, to keep in her boudoir, dress in different outfits each day, and watch her bloom differently.

"She has an immortal's hazy effect, and emits an immortal's fragrance. Without these filters, she's just a human woman who perfectly matches our aesthetic preferences. It's a bit cloying, to be honest; beauty too perfect becomes imperfect." Wu Hen, only briefly dazed, quickly returned to normal.

"Brother Wu, I must say, Fairy Gong Qin is indeed celestial, a flower of our Red Snow Village. Even living in a barn, she wouldn't stink. A fairy is a fairy. An ordinary woman would have become a rustic." Du Mao remarked.

Fairy Gong Qin's radiant face gradually darkened, clouded with gloom.

Once I find the world's best mute medicine, I'll personally feed it to these two pests!
