Chapter 116: Vanishing into Thin Air

  Lin San wiped his dry lips, and the blood-red spider chuckled and slowed down his voice, saying: "Hey, Spider brother, don't get agitated, I didn't mean any harm, really, I have no ill intentions towards you, so please don't glare at me like that."

  The red spider ignored Lin San.

  "Spider brother, I'll leave now and not disturb your rest." For some reason, this blood-red spider gave Lin Three a strong sense of crisis. Lin Three thought that it's better to have one less trouble, so he decided not to provoke the blood-red spider.

  Suddenly, more than a dozen fist-sized black spiders crawled out of the cave and quickly pounced on Lin San.

  Lin San furrowed his brow and with a swift slap of his hand, he turned the dozen or so black spiders into powder. Unbeknownst to Lin San, this action would lead to big trouble.

  "Rrzzzz!!!" The crimson spider let out a sharp angry cry and its massive body pounced towards Lin San.

  Lin San's face changed, and with a single wave of his hand, a sharp cyan light struck the blood-red spider.

  A metallic scraping sound echoed, and the blood-red spider was unscathed.

  "Damn! Can't even get a hit in?" Lin San cursed under his breath and dodged to the side.

  The red spider relentlessly pursued.

  Lin San dodged and weaved while using his immortal magic to conjure gusts of wind blades that struck the blood-red spider.

  "Ding ding dang" a light sound, more than a dozen wind blades all hit the back of the blood-red spider, leaving behind a faint white mark.

  The crimson spider was thoroughly enraged and launched a frenzied attack on Lin San.

  Lin San's heart was secretly lamenting, this blood-red spider was simply too powerful, he was not its opponent at all. Since Lin San started cultivating, it was the first time he had been so humiliated, feeling stifled and depressed.

  "Thwack!" A blood-red spider spat out a wad of webbing that slapped against Lin San's chest.

  Lin San's body instantly flew out at an angle and heavily smashed into a stone wall.

  "Rumble..." A dull thud, the stone wall that Lin San had struck suddenly collapsed, revealing a stone gate.

  The scarlet spider let out a shrill cry, opened its bloody mouth wide and pounced on Lin San.

  Lin San was shocked and subconsciously retreated backwards, "Bang!" Lin San's back leaned against the stone gate, a burst of "zila" sound, the stone gate actually opened, and Lin San, who had no defense at all, instantly fell into the stone gate.

  At the moment when the stone gate opened, the crimson spider stopped in its tracks, not daring to take another step forward, as if there was something terrifying inside the stone gate.

  As soon as Lin San fell into the stone gate, he immediately came to his senses and his body sprang up, wanting to fly out. Suddenly, a huge suction force came from inside the stone gate, and before Lin San could react, he was sucked deep into the stone gate.

  "Ah!" Lin San exclaimed, struggling ceaselessly.

  Inside the stone gate was a long, winding tunnel that seemed to have no end.

  "What the...?! How is this possible?!" Lin San was currently being restrained by an invisible force, unable to move even a single limb. Even the divine law within his body was suppressed and couldn't be activated. At this moment, Lin San had become a helpless sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

  Was today really going to be the day he died? Lin San's face revealed a thread of fear, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "I don't want to die! I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't had children yet, I haven't repaid my parents' kindness... I don't want to die......" Just then, Lin San's head suddenly hit a huge boulder, his eyelids flipped over, and he fainted.

  ……

  Lanxi City

  Dingsheng Group

  Gujalan threw down her phone and frowned: "This Lin San, where did he go? Why can't his phone be reached?"

  A few days ago, Lin San called Gu Jialan and said he had something to do and asked for a few days off. Gu Jialan agreed, but who knew that after a week, Lin San still hadn't come to work at the company? Gu Jialan couldn't help but call Lin San, but surprisingly, the call didn't go through, which made Gu Jialan somewhat worried.

  "Knock, knock, knock..." A faint knocking sound came from the door.

  "Come in." Gu Jialan shouted.

  The door was gently pushed open and Secretary Xiao Hong walked in: "Chairman, the leaders of all departments have arrived at the conference room, just waiting for you to start the meeting."

  "Alright, you go out first." Gu Jialan nodded.

  "Yes." Little Red nodded and turned away.

  Gu Jialan hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone and pressed the replay button. After a while, a pleasant woman's voice came from the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later..." Gently putting down the phone, Gu Jialan sighed: "Lin San, where are you?"

  ……

  After an unknown period of time, Lin San slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that entered his field of vision was a huge dome, on top of which was inlaid a bright pearl as large as a bowl, emitting dazzling white light. Around the pearl were carved four animal portraits, with strange and majestic appearances, their bodies towering high. Lin San had never seen such creatures before.

  "Gurgling...gurgling..." The sound of flowing water entered his ears.

  Lin San crawled up from the ground, raised his head and looked around, and was immediately stunned.

  This is a huge stone cave, no, it should be called a stone temple. The stone walls around are covered with colorful and fragrant flowers. A strong fragrance floats in the air of the temple. In the center of the temple, there is a clear pool of water where several white fish swim back and forth, occasionally jumping out of the water. On the opposite side of the pool, there is a high platform paved with huge stones, smooth and flat. On the platform stands a stone statue of a woman with a slender figure, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, dressed in elegant clothes, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility, holding a short sword in her hand, with a warm gaze and a smile on her face.

  Lin San stared blankly at the stone statue's face for a long time before coming back to his senses, smacking his lips and exclaiming: "What a beautiful woman!" Suddenly, a green light flashed on Lin San's body, followed by a green orb shooting out from his chest and flying rapidly towards the stone statue on the high platform.

  Lin San was shocked and hastily stretched out his hand to grab the blue orb.

  The blue orb seemed to be possessed, lightly jumping and dodging the hand, instantly appearing on the high platform, continuously rotating around the stone statue, with bursts of blue light shooting onto the statue's body.

  What happened next shocked Lin San deeply.

  Only to see the stone statue surface appeared a crack, constantly there are stone chips peeling off from the stone statue, the green round beads emitting green light more and more intense, in the blink of an eye, the stone statue shattered, a dazzling light burst out from the stone statue.

  Lin San's eyes were stimulated by the light, and he suddenly became temporarily blind.

  "A long sigh echoed from within the stone temple..."

  "Who?" Lin San was startled, his hands immediately covering his chest, and he retreated several steps back, leaning against the stone wall. At this time, Lin San's eyes slowly recovered, and he looked up to see what was in front of him. Suddenly, his mouth opened wide in shock, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

  On the high platform, a figure emitting a cyan glow was floating, no, it should be a woman, with clothes and appearance exactly the same as the stone statue. The cyan orb floated gently in front of the woman's face.

  The woman swept Lin San with a pair of ethereal eyes, and without moving her mouth, her voice came clearly: "I've waited for tens of thousands of years, and finally someone has come."

  "Y...who are you?" Lin San's voice was trembling slightly.

  The woman smiled slightly: "You can find this place, can't you guess who I am?"

  Lin San's eyes suddenly opened wide: "You're not a god from ancient times who descended to help humans eliminate fierce beasts, are you?"

  "You're very clever, just like me." The woman nodded.

  Lin San was taken aback: "You... aren't you supposed to be dead? How..."

  "What you see is just a wisp of my spirit, not my true self." The woman's voice was very gentle and soothing, warm and comfortable to listen to.

  "Divine thought?" Lin San was stunned, staring at the semi-transparent woman: "Goddess beauty, I..."

  The woman smiled: "I have a title in the immortal world, called Zilian Fairy, you can call me Zilian."

  Lin San moistened his somewhat dry lips: "That, Zi Ling fairy, can you tell me what's going on here?"

  "You wouldn't ask, but I'll tell you anyway." Zilian fairy sighed softly and slowly recounted the causes and consequences of the matter.

  Tens of thousands of years ago, a group of ancient ferocious beasts ravaged the human world, and countless humans were swallowed up and killed. The Heavenly Emperor's wife, the Heavenly Empress, couldn't bear to see humanity become extinct, so she dispatched her maid, Zilian Xianzi, to descend into the mortal realm and eliminate the ferocious beasts. After receiving her orders, Zilian Xianzi arrived in the mortal realm and began to slaughter the ferocious beasts day and night... Seven days and seven nights later, all of the ferocious beasts had been slaughtered, but Zilian Xianzi was also severely injured and on the verge of death. Knowing that she didn't have much time left, Zilian tore off a piece of her own skin and briefly described how she had descended into the mortal realm to slaughter the ferocious beasts and save humanity. She then refined the remaining bit of her divine energy into a green crystal orb. At the moment before her passing, Zilian Xianzi used a secret technique to hide a strand of her divine thought within a stone statue that had been prepared in advance... And so tens of thousands of years passed...

  After listening to Zilong Xianzi's words, Lin San felt a surge of admiration: "Zilong Xianzi, you are indeed a kind-hearted fairy!"

  "I have waited for tens of thousands of years, and finally I've waited for you, this destined person. Do you know? If you had come one day later, I would have disappeared into the universe." Zi Ling Xianzi said slowly.

  Lin San was stunned: "Disappeared between heaven and earth?"
