--- Chapter 207 ---

Baek Ain rubbed his chin in amusement, "They are actually sending their Protectors here. Hall of Souls' reaction exceeded my expectation slightly, but this is still within their villainous characters."

"Beat one, and another hundred will appear. Now that I think about it, this scenario is like offending a young master."

"After you beat his young master, his father would come. Then, you defeat his father, and his grandfather comes. It's not until you killed his ancestor and eradicated the whole bloodline that the unskippable courting death ends."

"They are just as annoying as the protagonist..." Baek Ain couldn't help but smile at this realization.

[I suppose they have uncanny simiarity] Alicia commented suddenly.

Baek Ain glanced at the system panel, "Alicia, can you issue a quest for me?"

[I can, obviously]

[What kind of quest do you want?]

[Oh, yeah. Just a reminder, the reward is not as good as naturally issued quest]

"It's fine." Baek Ain knew the system wouldn't issue a quest randomly with his current strength. It sounds like a brag, but only a handful of challenges were 'literally' left for Baek Ain in this world.

He's in the final phase now.

Or so he thought.

[Ding! The system has issued a chain quest]

[Name: Cleaning the World's Filths I]

[Objective: Eliminate the Hall of Souls' Four Protectors(0/4)]

[Time Limit: One day]

[Reward: 4x Random Soul-type Technique]

[Do you want to accept the chain quest?]

[Yes/No]

"Wait, why did the quest become a chain quest?" Baek Ain furrowed his brows slightly.

[What do you mean, Host?]

[You asked for this]

[I'm giving a chain quest because they would send more cannon fodders to you. And you're giving them a visit anyway]

[You said it earlier, no? "Beat one, and another hundreds will come"]

The corner of Baek Ain's mouth twitched, "You really took my words for granted, huh?"

[Yup, enjoy your quest] Alicia responded quickly.

"Fine, I accept the quest." Baek Ain rolled his eyes.

Knock! Knock!

Baek Ain glanced at the door and said, "Come in, the door isn't locked."

The door slowly opened and revealed Luo Bingbing in her celestial white-green robe. Her existence is akin to a goddess in this world and should be no less in the Thousand Great Worlds.

But Luo Bingning was unlucky to offend an abnormal entity like Baek Ain and was reduced to this state.

She's very much in character as a good wife, his wife!

Well, Baek Ain doesn't know what to feel about Luo Bingbing. It would be a lie if he said this woman wasn't beautiful and he had no feelings for her because he lived through two long reincarnations with her inside.

"What's the matter?" Baek Ain asked calmly, not wanting to show his emotion too much.

Luo Bingbing looked at him and blushed, "It's about the state of this lower plane. You're wasting your talents here, Husband. Please break through to the Plane Master Stage and follow me to the upper realm."

"Although Dou Q isn't bad, it's severely lacking in profundity compared to Spiritual Energy."

"Don't worry, we won't be staying here for long." Baek Ain answered with a smile. "I only have a few things to deal with before going to another world, whether it was the Great Thousand Worlds or others."

"As for breaking through to the Plane Master Stage... Are you referring to the Dou Di Realm?"

Luo Bingbing nodded and returned, "Yes. Plane Master Stage is more of a title, though. It's a title for someone who has reached the peak of the lower plane before ascending to the Great Thousand Worlds."

"Although Plane Master Stage's strength varies, they are hovering in the Heavenly Sovereign Realm separated into three grades, Spirit, Immortal, and Saint Grade."

"That's why you needed to reach Dou Di Realm and convert your Dou Qi into Spiritual Energy to find what kind of Heavenly Sovereign you are."

"Hmm..." Baek Ain could tell Luo Bingbing was worried about him.

"What's your current cultivation base, Bingbing?"

Luo Bingbing's eyes lit up when Baek Ain called her Bingbing. Although she preferred Bing'er because it sounded more affectionate, she was still happy.

"Unfortunately, I'm just a Perfected Earth Sovereign." Luo Bingbing replied with a self-deprecating tone.

"In fact, I was visiting the Lower Plane to find the Legacy of Dark Sage Fan Gu. If I can get his legacy, entering the Heavenly Sovereign Realm shouldn't be too hard."

"I thought with my cultivation base, I'd be able to breeze through this lower plane. After all, I firmly believed the energy of this lower plane couldn't contend against Spiritual Energy."

"Simply put, I was arrogant."

"Thankfully, you caught me off guard with your strength( even though we are equal in realms) and snapped me out of my dream, Husband." She smiled beautifully.

"Your Dou Qi is overwhelmingly more powerful and refined than others as if you're cultivating a different grade of Cultivation Technique. Now I want you to imagine how strong you'd be if you converted that Dou Qi into Spiritual Energy."

[Damn]

[This woman is sharp, Host]

[She could deduce the fact your Cultivation Technique is better than others]

[You're winning with this woman on your side]

Baek Ain's main Cultivation Technique is the complete Record of the Burning World from Against God's Universe, significantly more profound than the ones here.

After all, the Record of the Burning World is a legacy 'Profound Art' of the Primordial Entity, Golden Crow. Of course, Baek Ain wouldn't divulge such information to others.

Now Baek Ain began to wonder how powerful the Golden Crow was in the Great Thousand Worlds.

"Husband?"

"Are you listening to me?" Luo Bingbing's crisp and sweet voice entered Baek Ain's ears.

Baek Ain snapped out of his thoughts and chuckled, "Yeah."

"The Legacy of Dark Sage Fan Gu you mentioned earlier, I might know where it is."

"Really?" Luo Bingbing asked in awe.

"Yes, but can you tell me more about the Great Thousand World first?"

Luo Bingbing smiled at him warmly, "That would be my pleasure."

As Baek Ain waited for the Hall of Souls' Four Protectors, he listened to Luo Bingbing's story about the Great Thousand World.

He similarly shared that he inherited Fan Gu's legacy, making her think his strength comes from the legacy, which is an excellent redirection. She wouldn't question some abnormality he did for now.

Baek Ain wasn't worried Luo Bingbing would betray him. She genuinely accepted him as her wronged husband. On top of that, She has lived through an Unfinished Samsara that molded her into a new person despite having all her knowledge before it.

Amidst the story, Baek Ain suddenly lifted his head and gazed at the distance.

"They are here." He commented casually.

"They are?" Luo Bingbing tilted her head as she sensed four decently strong presences nearby.

Baek Ain laughed, "People from the Hall of Souls. They are sending gifts to my front door."

"I didn't even ask for it. Still, who would reject free things?"

"Let's go." Baek Ain extended his hand to Luo Bingbing.

Luo Bingbing blinked in surprise and took his kind gesture, hugging his arm happily. They teleported out of the Pill Tower and faced four eerie presences.

"Such a foul presence." Luo Bingbing felt the polluted Blood Qi in the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the Four Protectors stared at Baek Ain, and their eyes widened in shock. They had seen Baek Ain's disguise as Lin Feng before, so they recognized him.

"Lin Feng, I didn't expect to meet you immediately." Protector Wuyou said with a grin. "Young man, why don't you join our Hall of Souls?"

"Young man, huh?" Baek Ain returned with interest.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in antiques like you."

"Not to mention, the Hall of Souls is the gathering of scum. I don't want to be close to scums."

Protector Wuyou furrowed her brows, "I see... You have made up your mind already. It's useless to beat around the bush."

"Then, we only have to drag your soul to the Hall of Souls..."

"Many claimed that, but none have succeeded so far." Baek Ain sneered because he had an Innate Skill: Soul Protection.

Surprisingly, before Baek Ain could make a move, Luo Bingbing stepped forward.

She glared at Protector Wuyou and mumbled indifferently, "How dare you threaten my husband... My dear husband..."

"Bitch, I will fucking rip your face!"

[Uh, oh. Angry Little Wife is entering the battlefield] Alicia announced.
