Monster Paradise

Time flew by, and over a month had passed.

The Sword Alliance’s headquarters in the God Territory was thriving. The branch in the human world had also begun to take shape.

The Sword Alliance’s financial crisis had been solved earlier and, as Lin Huang promised, he got each of the Sword Servants in the Huang League a set of Dao Weapons.

Lin Huang even went to the human world and visited the three Saints and the seven sects of the human race.

All of the media channels were fighting to report about it in the human world.

It resulted in the Sword Alliance going viral in the human world again.

The Sword Alliance’s branch among the human race recruited over 300,000 new members.

Although that was insignificant in the God Territory, it was still considered a pretty great start.

At the Sword Alliance’s headquarters, not only had the Huang League been established, but the new department, Heavenly Network, as well.

Under Lin Xin, Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang’s guidance, the Sword Alliance constructed a massive information network.

They were primarily collecting information at the moment, but Yang Ling boasted that it was only a matter of time before this network would become the information center of this great world.

As the Sword Alliance’s development had been stabilized in all aspects, Lin Huang had become a boss who did nothing.

He had placed Sword 1 in charge after all, while all the departments also had a person-in-charge appointed, with Bloody as their adviser.

He was not worried about the future of the Sword Alliance’s development at all.

No matter what, Sword 1 would inform him in advance if there were important occasions that required him to show himself. Sword 1 would prepare the rest on his side. All he had to do was to show up for the occasion.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang would enter the virtual realm every day to refine the inheritance fragments that the Nirvana Trees had sent over from the death spring. He obtained significant information about the universe from those fragments.

“So the great world is actually so small…”

Before this, Lin Huang had heard of the concept of the universe. It was an ocean with many great worlds that were connected to each other.

Only once he saw the memories of those powerhouses from the universe did he truly discover how vast the real universe was.

The great world that he was in was just an insignificant speck of dust compared to it.

In the universe, there were countless specks of dust like this.

Most living beings could not leave these specks of dust throughout their lifetimes.

One day, Sword 1 sent a message not long after Lin Huang left the virtual realm.

“Lord Swordmaster, please come to the small meeting room on the top floor.”

“What happened?” Lin Huang replied instantly.

Sword 1 basically would not disturb him unless it was something important.

Therefore, the first reaction Lin Huang had was to think that an issue had occurred.

“You’ll find out when you get here,” Sword 1 replied immediately.

That confused Lin Huang a little.

Whenever he needed to show himself, Sword 1 would always tell him the information directly. Not only that, he would get into the details, worried that he would miss out on anything.

However, he asked him to go to the meeting room first this time?!

Lin Huang did not ask further after seeing Sword 1’s reply. He appeared in the meeting room in a flash.

As soon as he arrived at the meeting room, he saw a familiar figure standing at the window.

Although it was the person’s back, the expression on Lin Huang’s face softened instantly. “Master?!”

The man at the window turned around and smiled at Lin Huang. He took a good look at him. “Your appearance hasn’t changed much, kid, but the air about you has. You really look like a chief now.”

“You’ve aged at least ten years compared to before, master,” Lin Huang teased while chuckling.

“I have a beard now. Does it make me look very old? I’ll shave it off later.”

This person was Lin Huang’s master who had seen him grow—Mr. Fu.

After Mr. Fu elevated to second-rank true god-level three years ago, he felt his cultivation progress begin to slow down. Thus, he bid farewell to Lin Huang and traveled alone.

In reality, there was a Sword Servant secretly following and protecting him throughout those years. He would report to Lin Huang on Mr. Fu’s condition on a regular basis.

However, Mr. Fu had never returned throughout those three years.

He had finally returned now.

“You’ve really grown a lot throughout the three or so years that I’ve been away.” Mr. Fu got Lin Huang to sit down and could not help but exclaim, “I thought no matter how stunning your talents were, you’d require at least 30 to 50 years to stand out in the great world. I thought it’d be perfect for me to return to help you in 20 to 30 years.”

“Never would I have thought that I would hear about your name in the human world after a short three years.” Mr. Fu had joy filling his eyes. “I only found out that the Sword Alliance had been elevated to a grade-7 organization when I saw everyone on the internet talking about you and the Sword Alliance.”

Naturally, Lin Huang knew that Mr. Fu had been staying in the human world throughout the three or so years, burying himself in travels and cultivation.

Due to the restriction and isolation of the human world’s network, Mr. Fu did not know much about what had happened in the God Territory.

It was only during the recent month that Lin Huang’s name had surfaced among the cultivators in the human world, as the Sword Alliance began to develop their branch in the human world and recruit new members.

Mr. Fu had seen that information and verified that it was him. Only then did he contact the Sword Alliance’s branch.

“The Sword Alliance has only been developing for less than half a year here. We’ve been focusing on the one in the Pilgrim Star Zone. Only once things were stable did we develop the branch in the human world to train some human talents. Therefore, we only started to recruit members at the branch in the human world last month.”

Lin Huang gave a simple explanation.

“To be honest, I suspected that it was fake news when I first saw it. I was only less skeptical when I looked through the threads online these past few days and saw the reposts from a few organizations like Hunt and Mysterious Item Pavilion. Later on, I got a guy from the black market to ask around and confirm that the news was real.” Mr. Fu was indeed slow when it came to receiving news.

“The internet also says that you’ve been elevated to Lord? Is that true?” Mr. Fu asked as if he was gossiping.

“I guess.” Lin Huang coughed twice.

In reality, he had surpassed lord-level now.

Mr. Fu had a completely different understanding of what he said. He thought Lin Huang meant that his combat strength had yet to reach lord-level, but that he already possessed lord-level ability.

“Actually, there’s one thing that I don’t understand,” Mr. Fu raised another doubt, “Why did those grade-7 organizations in the God Territory allow you to establish the Sword Alliance? Don’t tell me they want another grade-7 organization in the God Territory to share their resources? None of them sent Lords to suppress you?”

Lin Huang smiled when he heard that question. “Suppress me? They would need to have the ability first.”

Mr. Fu had a rough understanding of what happened after hearing that.

It was not that the grade-7 organizations in the God Territory had allowed the Sword Alliance to rise. Instead, they were lacking in abilities and could not do anything about them. They could only watch the Sword Alliance rise in prominence.

“Is the Myriad Tribe Palace you destroyed the organization behind the Thousand Snake Sect you mentioned before?” Mr. Fu continued to ask.

“That’s right. The Thousand Snake Sect invaded the gravel world over and over again on the Myriad Tribe Palace’s orders.” Lin Huang nodded. He did not tell him about the secret behind the Myriad Tribe Palace.

After all, it was futile even if he told Mr. Fu about that. It would only worry him.

“Have you cleared them out entirely?” A ferocious gleam flashed through Mr. Fu’s eyes.

“I’ve cleared all of them out, including the Thousand Snake Sect.” Lin Huang nodded.

“That’s great.” Mr. Fu was relieved now.
