Chapter 981: Chapter 984: Returning to Star-Picking Island_1 Chapter 981: Chapter 984: Returning to Star-Picking Island_1 At the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, within the Heaven Class.

It had already been eighty years since Lin Zhen left here.

When Lin Zhen left, his family members had also been accepted into the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, and they had long become members of the Heaven Class.

Falling Star Lake recruited new students every ten years, so now, Lin Zhen’s family were all considered veteran students here.

An Ning, Su Mingyue, Lin Mei’er and others were now among the top students of the Heaven Class.

The An Qier sisters and Ling’er were also in the Heaven Class, ranking in the upper-middle range.

As for Lin Liye, Li Qin and others, due to their qualifications, they had not been accepted into Falling Star Lake, and were still practicing martial arts in the Kirin tribe.

…

These six beautiful students of the Heaven Class had long become one of the most beautiful sights in the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake.

********

The waves of the lake lapped at the shore, stirring high sprays of water, drawing beautiful rainbows in the midair.

On a cliff by the lake, a martial artist dressed in a green robe sat cross-legged, almost blending in with the heaven and earth, like a rock that had existed there since the ancient times.

His hands were constantly tracing mysterious patterns in the air, and space around him occasionally showed signs of fractures like a mirror surface.

He had spent five years living like this, never once opening his eyes or leaving the cliff.

The people practicing beneath him would occasionally look up at him with envy in their eyes.

That was Gabriel, the current strongest member of the Heaven Class at Falling Star Lake, an undefeated legend!

Gabriel was a standout among the Heaven Class, ranked first.

He had been in the Heaven Class for seventy years, the same time as when Lin Zhen’s family entered Falling Star lake, and he won the grand competition of that year, entering Falling Star Lake as the champion.

His cultivation in Falling Star Lake was also very smooth, his comprehension speed of the steles was very fast, even praised by his fifth senior brother, Jin Nuo, as a rare genius in a hundred years.

Gabriel was very confident.

As a genius of the Archangel clan, he had already reached the peak of Three Flowers.

As long as he wished, he could enter the God Transformation at any time.

There were few martial artists on the surface who reached the God Transformation stage, as many would go to practice in the Endless Star Sea after reaching the God Transformation, the surface was no longer suitable for their progression.

Gabriel didn’t want to leave just yet, the grand competition of Falling Star Lake was about to start in another twenty years, and Gabriel had a grander goal in mind.

Staying at the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake, that was Gabriel’s true pursuit!

However, he knew that carrying out this goal would be difficult.

Because there was a deity standing in his way at Falling Star Lake, that deity was the acclaimed, seemingly omnipotent Lin Zhen!

Lin Zhen was like an omnipresent giant shadow, always looming over Gabriel’s head.

But Gabriel didn’t think Lin Zhen was as impressive as the rumors suggested.

When Lin Zhen left the Holy Land, he was only a Peak World King, certainly not a match for his current self.

Seventy years had passed, how much could Lin Zhen’s strength have grown?

He could likely achieve Longevity, but he surely couldn’t reach the realm of Three Flowers, could he?

Gabriel was the strongest among those at Three Flowers, he believed, even God Transformation strong ones weren’t his match!

“I did it!”

The air was filled with ice crystals, numerous mirrors emerged, forming a force similar to spatial cutting!

With his resentment towards Lin Zhen in his heart, Gabriel made a breakthrough.

The martial arts technique he had been practicing, Universe Mirror Skill, had finally attained perfection!

Bursts of space power scattered, cutting the waves crashing onto the shore into pieces.

For the first time in five years, Gabriel opened his eyes.

“Lin Zhen!

It’s better if you don’t come back, or else I will let you know who the real best successor to the Holy Land of Falling Star Lake is.”

“Once I steady my state, I can challenge the Thirty-Three Heavenly Tower…..”

Gabriel exhaled a breath, for the first time in five years, he opened the Dimensional Universe.

“Hmm…

the surface can communicate with the Endless Star Sea?

When did this happen?”

Gabriel hesitated for a while and temporarily closed the information about the Endless Star Sea.

He knew that this was his crucial moment, and it wouldn’t be beneficial to receive too much information at once.

“Athena….”

Gabriel called out, looking for his woman.

Athena was his woman, but not his wife, she currently also belonged to the Heaven Class in the Falling Star Lake.

“Gabriel, you’ve come out of seclusion!” Athena’s voice filled with joy came through.

“Yes, I have mastered the Universe Mirror Skill.

It’s time for us to lift our heads and show our pride!”

Having said this, Gabriel closed the Dimensional Universe.

He needed some more time to stabilize his realm.

Athena had always been at odds with Lin Zhen’s family, she even wanted to find trouble with those flaunting little foxes of Lin Zhen’s family long ago.

However, Gabriel seemed to think that their fifth senior brother Jin Nuo might have a good relationship with Lin Zhen, so he didn’t act rashly before.

However, Gabriel believed that a true master like his fifth senior brother cared only for the strong.

As long as he could demonstrate that he was stronger and had more potential than Lin Zhen, his fifth senior brother would undoubtedly side with him.

Moreover, over the years of observation, it seemed that his fifth senior brother didn’t care much about the women in Lin Zhen’s family.

Now that his godlike abilities had reached their peak, it was time for Athena to make a move.

********

In one corner of the Heaven Class, a dusty Athena, who had also been in seclusion for five years, stood up excitedly.

As she tossed her golden hair, she showed an excited look on her face.

“Excellent!

Gabriel has finally succeeded.

With him as my backing, my fifth senior brother will definitely not favor those seductive foxes!”

“Their dramatic daily actions are annoying.

I will show them that I, Athena, am the most beautiful and talented female student in the Heaven Class of Falling Star Lake!”

********

“Beep beep beep…

This is the Da Qin Empire’s air defense force.

Please provide the identity of the incoming ship.

You have one minute.

If you fail to do so, we will take down your ship with our air defense firepower.”

As the Liuli Ship approached the airspace above Falling Star Lake, a few hundred miles away, they immediately received a message from Da Qin.

Batch after batch of signals were received on the screen and Lin Zhen and Lin An came in front of the screen.

Just before, Lin Zhen had examined Lin An’s progress after all these years of cultivation and was greatly satisfied with the results.

With his talent and strong willpower, Lin An had finally made it through his grueling training schedule.

Although Lin An is still at the Three Flowers Peak, in Lin Zhen’s view, he could already rival regular strong ones in the late stage of the God Transformation period.

Lin Zhen had also taught Lin An several profound secrets.

As soon as he was done instructing, the signal bands had arrived.

“Father ….

what do we do?” Lin An was rather flustered.

Lin Zhen, who was just pleased with him a moment ago, frowned slightly: “What to do?

Just announce your identity.

Do you think they’d dare to fire at us knowing it’s me?”

Lin An shrank back, he had just arrived in the Original World and was immediately teleported to the Endless Star Sea.

He had never lived on the ground of Original World and didn’t quite understand the situation here.

After fiddling with the operating desk of Liuli Ship a bit, Lin Zhen responded to the message.

“Ah!

It’s Lord Lin Zhen!”

The screen flickered, and the image of the air defense team immediately appeared.

A few soldiers, led by an officer, saluted Lin Zhen in unison.

Lin Zhen waved nonchalantly, closed the communication, and the ship continued its journey.

Lin An was stunned.

He didn’t realize his father had such influence on the ground of the Original World.

Even the national troops had to salute him.

Lin Zhen didn’t explain much.

He is considered an honorary citizen by the over one thousand four hundred countries in the Original World, who can enjoy all public facilities and many special treatments for free.

These things, unthinkable for an ordinary person in a lifetime, meant nothing to him now.

The ship slowly flew over Falling Star Lake.

The sight of the tumultuous waves stirred Lin Zhen’s emotions.

He was about to see his family again – his parents, wife, children.

Xuan’er, who had been waiting for him alone in Qin City…

And Little Phoenix who had been in the Twin Trees Garden Holy Land for a long time, how is she doing now?

“Plunk!”

A massive whale leaped out of the water.

The mountain-like body caused a vast ripple which made Lin An couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Father, is this ocean big or what?

I feel it’s larger than a planet.”

“Not just one planet, if ten thousand planets fell into this lake, they wouldn’t cause much of a ripple.”

Lin An was taken aback, feeling the considerable difference between the Original World and New World.

Although they had slowed down, the Liuli Ship was still moving fast.

After entering the foggy area and passing through the teleportation portal, they could vaguely see Star-Picking Island after about an hour.

“Father!

There’s a continent ahead!”

“That’s not a continent, it’s just an island.

Your mother, your Aunt Su, and your sister, they’re all there.”

Upon hearing this, Lin An immediately stood up excitedly.

Missing his relatives for decades, Lin An’s longing was even stronger than Lin Zhen’s.

The ship sped up slightly and soon arrived above Star-Picking Island.

Some lowly students and servants looked up at the ship, wondering where this strange-looking ship came from.

From the ship, Lin Zhen could clearly see several student areas, the towering 33 Heaven Tower, and even the house where he used to live in the residential area.

“Father, where are we going?

Are we going to see mom now?”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, “No, come with me to Peaceful Heart Pavilion and meet the fifth senior brother.

It is also the day of the Holy Land’s new student recruitment.

You might as well go directly into the examination of the Holy Land.”

Lin An had no objections.

Even though he missed his mother very much, he still followed his father’s arrangements.

Just as Lin Zhen finished speaking to Lin An, the voice of his fifth senior brother, Jin Nuo, came to his ears.

“Hehe!

You still have some conscience, kid.
