Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 359 The Old Father Who Harmed His Daughter

……

Blood, fire, corpses.

In a daze, Ji Lin thought of his father's bloody face and his mother's gentle smile, and his head was buzzing.

Regret, unwillingness, resentment...all kinds of emotions intertwined.

"Huh...huh!"

She suddenly woke up from the bed, her black and white eyes were bloodshot.

"Snow Dragon Mountain!"

A tearful note came out of Xiu's mouth. Ji Lin's small fist was clenched until it turned pale, and overwhelming hatred filled his chest and abdomen.

She got up from the bed, pushed open the door of the wooden house, picked up the Taiyi sword left by her father, walked to the open space in front of the house, and began to practice swordsmanship meticulously.

Every stab and every stroke contained a hint of coldness, as if he was chopping at the enemy.

Ever since the Ji family was destroyed and her father died in front of her, she was no longer the girl who had never killed a chicken.

"Is this really okay for us?"

Where Ji Lin couldn't see, two pairs of eyes were staring at her.

A trace of pity flashed across the woman's face.

"Without going through the bitter cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms fill your nose? Doesn't Lin'er always want to be the protagonist? If your parents don't offer sacrifices to the heavens and your family isn't destroyed, what qualifications do you have to be the protagonist?"

If Ji Lin were here, he would find that the person speaking was his "deceased" father, who was standing intact in the crack of the void and speaking shamelessly.

"Children always have to grow up on their own. Lin'er used to be too kind."

It cannot be said that kindness is necessarily bad, but in this kind of world it is easy to be cheated and die early.

Seeing that the woman wanted to say something, the man waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, I left a divine thought on the Taiyi Sword, so nothing will happen. He will be Lin'er's grandfather from now on."

……

Baihua Wonderland is one of the top forces in Anchan County.

Although its overall strength may be slightly inferior to that of the Black and White Academy, this is because the Hundred Flowers Wonderland only recruits female disciples. If you are not a woman, no matter how talented you are, you cannot enter.

The mountain gate of this sect is a cave space opened up by a powerful person and is called the Wonderland of Flowers.

In terms of foundation and teaching resources, Baihua Wonderland is not necessarily weaker than the Black and White Academy. It is only because of gender restrictions and the small number of students admitted that it is suppressed by the Black and White Academy.

The sect that Ji Lin chose was the Hundred Flowers Wonderland. This sect was quite suitable for her as it was not as conspicuous as the Black and White Academy.

At this time, there was a dark mass in front of the cave in the Hundred Flowers Fairyland.

These were all disciples who wanted to join the Hundred Flowers Fairyland, and Ji Lin was among them.

"Little sister, do you also want to become my disciple?"

A sweet voice like an oriole sounded, and Ji Lin felt his shoulders suddenly sink. He saw a woman with willow-like eyebrows and a sweet smile putting her hand on his shoulder, speaking in a familiar tone.

At the same time, a faint floral fragrance wafted into Ji Lin's nose, as if it came from this woman.

Ji Lin frowned, reached out and knocked the woman's hand down, then took a step back.

"What does it have to do with you?"

After experiencing the revenge of her entire family being wiped out, she became much colder.

It's not that she doesn't want to socialize with others, but the heavy hatred in her heart makes her not want to focus on this so-called friendship.

"Ah, how come you have learned to have a stern face at such a young age?"

Not only was the woman not scared away by Ji Lin, but she became even more interested in him.

She came forward and stretched out her hand to pinch Ji Lin's face, but Ji Lin dodged her hand. However, she was not embarrassed. Instead, she stood there and looked at Ji Lin with a smile.

"What an interesting little girl."

Faced with the woman's enthusiasm, Ji Lin was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, a crisp bell rang at this time, and the entrance examination to the Hundred Flowers Wonderland began.

Ji Lin then breathed a sigh of relief, quickly avoided the enthusiastic woman, and followed the disciple in front of him into the Hundred Flowers Wonderland.

"Hehe, we'll see you again."

Behind her, the woman looked at her back and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

……

"The first level is to ask your conscience!"

This is a bluestone staircase that is ten thousand meters long. Of course, this length is nothing for a group of disciples who want to enter the sect with cultivation skills. Even ordinary people can complete the walk if they persist.

However, this staircase is engraved with a self-examination array. For those with weak wills and bad intentions, climbing this staircase will be like climbing to heaven.

Ji Lin turned around and looked, but didn't see the woman from before, so she should be behind him.

She didn't think much about it and took the lead to step onto the long steps.

boom!
Illusions abounded, evil spirits surrounded me, and endless pressure came over me, as if I was carrying a mountain on my back.

Ji Lin remained calm and continued to move forward firmly. She knew that these were all illusions.

Halfway through the journey, many disciples behind him fell down the stairs as if they could not bear the burden and could not get up again. Many of them had higher cultivation levels than Ji Lin, but their minds were weak and they fell into this illusion.

Suddenly, as if realizing that Ji Lin could not be frightened, the illusion before his eyes changed.

In the rugged and tall Ji Mansion, the handsome father and the gentle mother were sitting at the dining table. There were four or five side dishes on the table, which were cooked by the mother herself. A warm atmosphere filled the air.

"Lin'er, come here and have dinner." The mother's gentle voice sounded.

"Go wash your hands quickly, your hands are so dirty." The father scolded with a smile.

"Daddy!"

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Ji Lin subconsciously took a step back.

Her mind told her that these were all illusions, but what she saw before her was a knot that she would never be able to untie.

Her father's familiar face was so close to her, and her familiar breath made her a little addicted.

Why not, just leave it like this, it’s also good.

she thought.

Just when she was about to rush to the dining table and throw herself into her father's arms, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, which instantly woke her up.

It’s Taiyi Sword!
The Taiyi sword given to her by her father.

"Fake, fake! All fake!! All fake!!!"

Tears had already wet her eyes without her noticing. She drew out the Taiyi Sword and slashed forward with all her strength using the sword moves she had practiced day and night.

Father, mother, dining table...

The illusion shattered, and Ji Lin still maintained the posture of swinging the sword, standing on the stairs, without moving for a long time.

The stairs thereafter no longer posed an obstacle, and Ji Lin, having calmed down, quickly reached the top.

"Fifty-two people have passed the first round, Duanmu Rong, Gu Qiushuang, Ji Lin..."

There were at least a thousand people in that crowded crowd before, but now after passing the first level, there are only fifty-two people left.

Ji Lin glanced at everyone's faces, but did not see the familiar woman from before. Perhaps she was eliminated in the first round.

The second level is to fight against three puppets of the same level as yourself. For Ji Lin, who has already comprehended the sword intent and practiced the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu, this is not difficult and he defeats the puppets easily.

The third level is to test the soul, which is also very easy for Ji Lin who has practiced the "Visualization Method of the Nameless Man in White".

Her performance was considered excellent, and considering her current age, she could be called a genius.

Although some other disciples performed well, they were far inferior to Ji Lin.

This is the talent of an immortal.

The fairies in the Hundred Flowers Fairyland became interested in Ji Lin.

"This woman's soul is pure, she is worthy of being my disciple." A woman in a purple robe and veil with a hazy look spoke. Looking at her squinting eyes, it is impossible to tell whether she is dreaming or awake. She exudes a lazy and mysterious temperament.

"Senior Sister Meng, you see she uses a sword, and only I am suitable to be her teacher." The heroic woman holding a long sword retorted.

She saw Ji Lin's sword on the road of self-examination and felt extremely satisfied. She rarely thought of accepting him as her disciple.

"Hey, Junior Sister Qinglian, have you ever taught a disciple?" someone else asked.

A group of immortals suddenly started arguing over a disciple.

"I want this disciple." Suddenly a cold voice sounded, speaking in an extremely domineering manner.

Who is so domineering?
All the fairies looked over in the direction of the sound, and then hurriedly saluted in panic.

"I've met the ancestor!"

The person who was speaking was a girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with a straight nose and skin as white as snow. She was wearing a plain long dress that was dotted with flower patterns with golden silk threads, which added a bit of gorgeousness.

"Get up."

Fairy Baihua looked at the immortals and nodded slightly. The immortals stood up, their expressions became much more reserved, and the topic of discussion also shifted from Ji Lin to other disciples.

"I think Gu Qiushuang is pretty good."

"That Duanmu Rong was the first to pass the Road of Self-examination. Her determination is also quite impressive."

"..."

Fairy Baihua looked at Ji Lin who was arranged to come to this hall, and raised the corners of her lips, "I said, we will see each other again."

"It's you!"

Ji Lin’s eyes widened. Why was this person standing with a group of immortals? Wasn’t she a disciple who wanted to join the sect?
"Surprised?"

The Fairy of Flowers walked up to Ji Lin and teased her.

Ji Lin opened his mouth hesitantly, somewhat speechless.

"Let's go. You will practice with me from now on."

The Fairy of Flowers took Ji Lin's hand and, ignoring the fairies behind her, took her straight to her own cave.

"So, you are the founder of the Hundred Flowers Wonderland?"

Along the way, the Fairy of Flowers briefly explained her apparent identity.

But Ji Lin still couldn't believe it. This outgoing woman could actually be the founder of the top sect, Hundred Flowers Wonderland. It was totally unexpected.

"Yeah, I guess so." Fairy Baihua smiled and ruffled Ji Lin's hair. "What a lovely little girl."

Ji Lin felt a little uncomfortable, because in the past only her father liked to rub her hair like this.

"Should I take you as my master?" She asked, avoiding the hand of the Fairy of Flowers without leaving a trace.

"No need." The Fairy of Flowers shook her head and didn't explain why.

"Oh." Ji Lin nodded and lowered his head again.

"You!" The Fairy of Flowers stretched out her finger and lightly tapped Ji Lin's forehead. She also deeply felt the bad taste of her teacher and grandmaster, who even deceived their own daughter.

Who would have thought that this little girl who looked bitter and vengeful was actually the daughter of the great goddess Nuwa and Taoist Taiyi.

This wonderland of flowers was not created by her. Her name is Fairy of Flowers, also known as Taoist Ancestor of Flowers. She is the master of the world of flowers, the first flower to take shape between heaven and earth. She studied under the most divine and holy goddess Nuwa, and is one of the most outstanding Taoist ancestors in the Three Realms.

And this Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers was created by a registered disciple who had listened to her preaching.

In fact, if it weren't for the Queen's order, she wouldn't even know that such a small force existed in Xia Country.

This time she came to this world specifically to teach her junior sister how to practice.

……

Arriving at the room arranged for her by the Fairy of Flowers, Ji Lin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

She lay down on the soft big bed, holding her hands on her head. The soft mattress soothed her tired body. The Taiyi Sword was placed aside.

Although she performed well in the assessment, she was only ten years old after all and had just experienced the hatred of her family being wiped out.

Her cultivation level is only at the innate realm and she has not yet broken through to the purple mansion realm. Fortunately, the assessment of the Hundred Flowers Fairyland focuses more on aptitude rather than cultivation level, otherwise she might not be able to join the sect.

But now I have someone to back me up.

Thinking of the somewhat unreliable Fairy of Flowers, as the founder of the Fairyland of Flowers, she is at least an immortal, maybe even a celestial immortal, while her enemy, the strongest man in the Snow Dragon Mountain, is only at the peak of the Yuanshen realm.

Although she didn't accept me as her apprentice, she probably still has high hopes for me...

Of course, Ji Lin didn't think of relying on the Fairy of Flowers for revenge.

"Buzz!"

The Taiyi sword beside him suddenly vibrated.

Ji Lin's body tensed up instantly. Just when she was about to move, she found that her body was like being possessed by a ghost and she couldn't even move a finger.

I wanted to open my mouth and call for help but couldn't.

She was filled with despair, thinking that even the Fairy of Flowers would not be able to come and save her.

A strange laugh reached Ji Lin's ears.
"Hey, ignorant girl, do you want to become stronger? Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly... live?"

As the sound rang out, Ji Lin found that she could move above her neck. She turned her head to the side, suppressed her fear, and did not scream for help. Instead, she looked at the dark sword - Taiyi Sword.

Could it be that the long sword that my father found in the secret realm still contains the remnant soul of some powerful man?

Ji Lin exudes a storm of brains.

"Or, do you want to resurrect your parents?" the voice then asked a question.

Ji Lin's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Yes! I do!" she said loudly.

The fear in my heart gradually dissipated. What was there to be afraid of? As long as I could revive my parents, it didn't matter even if I had to make a deal with evil spirits or demons.

"Can you resurrect my parents? I can give you everything!" Her eyes were earnest, hoping to hear a positive answer.

"Haha, no!" Before Ji Lin could show any disappointment, the voice continued, "Although I can't revive your parents, you can."

"Me?" Ji Lin was a little confused when he heard that.

"Yes, you only need to cultivate to the World Realm, which is the realm of the great god Pangu, and enter the Long River of Destiny, then you can find the true spirits of your parents and revive them."

An "old man" with an immortal look, a handsome face, white hair and an indistinct face appeared on the Taiyi sword and spoke to Ji Lin.

"World Realm? Great God Pangu!" Ji Lin was stunned, with a bitter look on her face. This was too much of a compliment to her.

By cultivating to the level of the great god Pangu, does it mean that she can be on par with the goddess Nuwa?
"What are you afraid of? I see that you have a good talent in swordsmanship. If you become my disciple, you can reach the world realm or even a higher realm."

The old man stretched out his hand to touch his beard, but then he realized that he seemed to have no beard, so he naturally put his hand down.

Ji Lin's pupils shrank again and again. If someone still didn't understand after hearing this, he would be a fool. She immediately stood up and kowtowed, performing the ceremony of paying homage to the master in a very formal manner.

"Disciple Ji Lin greets Master!"

It was not only because of this man's mysterious power and the hope that he could help resurrect his parents, but also because the moment Ji Lin saw this old man, he felt a sense of intimacy from the soul, and the vigilance in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Good good!"

The old man said hello three times and nodded with satisfaction. "My name is Shang An, you can call me Shang Lao. As for my origins, I will not tell you now, so as not to distract you. You just need to know that the many sacred beings in the three realms are nothing more than that in my eyes."

Are the many gods in the Three Realms just like this? Ji Lin looked at Shang An's indifferent expression and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Could it be that this Mr. Shang is Taoist Taiyi?

But she quickly rejected this idea. Lord Cui once said that Taoist Taiyi had never appeared in the Three Realms, and how could Taoist Taiyi become such a residual soul? This might be a sacred being related to Taoist Taiyi who was unwilling to reveal his identity because of some unspeakable past or enemies.

And his name is Shang An... This name is the same as his father's, both of which start with "An". His father's name is Ji An.

Thinking of this, she looked at Shang An with a little more intimacy.

……

Unbeknownst to Ji Lin, her old father had not stopped persecuting her.

Taiyi God: Sincerely recruiting villain extras, with cultivation level of level five or above, who can use various methods to make people understand the dangers of the world, the more the better.

Huang Rong:!!!
Huang Rong: Oh my god, I finally saw the group leader alive again.

Yan Lingji: Oh my god, I finally saw the group leader brother alive again.

Yue Buqun: Oh my god, I finally...

Yue Buqun withdrew a message.

Yue Buqun: Ahem, sorry, I ordered too fast.

Xi Huang: Villain extras! Teacher, are you going to film a movie?

Taiyi God: I have a descendant who is currently practicing in a great world of immortal cultivation. She is kind by nature and does not know the dangers of this world. She still needs to go through 81 tribulations to be tempered.

Xi Huang: I see. I want to play your junior, right? I’m good at this. I’ll sign up!

Lin Xi was the first to actively sign up, if for no other reason than that she loved acting.

Song Shuhang: I looked, the fifth level is equivalent to the fifth level Spiritual Emperor in our world. I have just started practicing!

Morgana: A villain, am I not?

Huang Rong: Level five, I’ve just reached the threshold, I’m signing up too!

Zhang Sanfeng: The great world of cultivating immortals! I am also signing up.

Lin Jiu: Ahem, I can also play a villain.

Xiong Ba: ...

Soon, a large number of “villains” in the group chose to sign up.

Shang An nodded with satisfaction. Helping his daughter while promoting these group members was really killing two birds with one stone.

The time-travel function of the chat group had already been activated. Shang An quickly selected the extras and gave them the permission to time-travel.
