Cultivation Pet Shop

Not knowing what to do, Lin Fan turned to the system.

He hoped that there would be a map provided by the system that would lead him to a certain place, like it had done with all the other special cultivation realms.

However, there wasn’t a single thing from the system.

It seemed like he was completely on his own in this matter.

So he was faced with a choice right now.

He could just stay here and search around the area for clues, though that was something that he had already done to no avail. Or he could go and move away from this place, looking for clues.

The first option was safe since he had already secured the area, but there wouldn’t be much information for him here.

The second option was dangerous, but it would definitely be more productive than sitting here twiddling his thumbs.

So he had to decide which one he would go with.

In the end, Lin Fan decided to search the area.

That was because he had one thing that normal people didn’t.

With Brainy’s puppets, it should be easy for him to avoid anything dangerous in the area.

The only problem was that Brainy’s puppets had limited knowledge, so they wouldn’t be able to find what he was looking for. He would have to tap his mind into her network and search for these things himself.

This was something was able to do now that she had broken through to the World Realm.

She could share what she saw from her puppets with people, but unless they had strong enough spiritual senses, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the sudden influx of information.

Lin Fan could only access a small part even with his powerful spiritual senses. So he really couldn’t help admiring Brainy’s abilities once again.

Not just for how useful it was, but also for how strong Brainy’s spiritual sense was to be able to process all this information.

After searching for a bit, Lin Fan found…nothing still.

There wasn’t a single thing in this place, there was only destruction. Or rather, the remaining signs of destruction.

There had been buildings on this world in the past, but they had all eroded away and returned to the land. But because of how much destruction had been wrought in this place, the land itself had also died and there was nothing growing here anymore.

So this was a desolate wasteland that didn’t seem to have a single resource.

The more that Lin Fan explored this place, the more confused he was about why the system had sent him here.

After all, there had to be a reason that the system had sent him here, but what could he do in this place where there was only dead land?

What kind of special treasure could be in this place?

Lin Fan paused to think about where to go next…that is until he suddenly remembered something else.

There were special items that he had been given before he had unlocked this special cultivation world. It was only because he had those items that this special cultivation realm had been made available to him in the first place.

So without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out the three items that he had received and spread them out in front of him.

They were the key, the lantern, and the map.

With these three things in front of him, Lin Fan paused to think for a second before reaching out towards the map.

After all, when he didn’t know where to go, this map should be the most likely thing that would lead the way forward for him.

When he opened it, he looked down at what was written.

There was the same map that had the X on it, but…he found that he didn’t know what to use this for at all.

After all, there was no marking that he could use to tell what his position was on the map. Even if he tried to look around for a landmark…with the desolate land that didn’t have anything around him, there was no landmark for him to make out at all.𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝒸𝒐𝗆

So he would never be able to figure out just where he was on the map…

Since it was worthless, then he turned his attention to the other items that were here. Though he didn’t really have any hope that they would be useful.

The key he chose to ignore completely since this key would only have one purpose and it wouldn’t be related to what he was doing now.

The lantern…was a long stretch, but he still decided to inject life energy into it.

When he did, it released the same green glow as before.

After lighting up the lantern, Lin Fan turned around while holding it in his hand. He let the light of the lantern fall onto the various things around him as he tried to find anything with its glow.

But the only thing that this lantern’s glow did was give everything an eerie feel to it.

No matter what he shined the lantern’s glow on, there wasn’t anything that changed.

So Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling even more confused about what the role of this lantern was. That is until he saw something out of the corner of his eyes.

He didn’t really understand what it was at first, but then he looked carefully at it.

It was a mark that had appeared on the map.

It was a green mark that seemed to be in the shape of a lantern, just like the one that was currently in Lin Fan’s hand. 

After seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help stopping the flow of life energy being supplied to the lantern.

When this happened, he found that as he had expected, the green mark on the map also disappeared.

After testing it a few times, he found that this green mark was indeed linked to the lantern and more importantly, it marked their place on the map. When he moved around with the lantern in his hand, the mark would also move on the map and show where he was going.

With this, he would be able to figure out his way to the X that was on the map.

But the one thing that confused him was how the green mark had appeared on the map in the first place.

No matter how he tried checking out the two things, he couldn’t find a single thing linking them. There was no life energy link, no spiritual energy link, and no law linking them.

He had made sure of this by using his void laws to completely surround the area around the lantern. It wrapped around it perfectly so that not a single particle would be able to escape this area.

But even then, the lantern was still able to appear on the map.

It was as if there was some kind of strange force that was causing this that he didn’t know about at all.

So Lin Fan had no choice but to give up.

After all, this was something from the system, so it was something that was made by a God Realm Expert. The God Realm was still something that Lin Fan had no idea about, so he didn’t know if there was some kind of magical power that allowed for this to happen or not.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, there was no need for him to keep thinking about it.

After all, he was still in this dangerous place alone. He should quickly follow this map and find what was at the X.

Though he was also certain that it would be a dangerous journey to get to this X.

Anything that the system gave him was usually filled with all kinds of danger.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan focused his mind and started heading on the path that the map had laid out for him.

Well, it wasn’t so much a path as a general direction for him to head in. That was because other than the two marks on the map, there really wasn’t anything there.

So he just had to follow in the general direction of the X and get closer.

Though he didn’t know what was waiting for him, if it was anything like the Outer God Fragment realm that he had been sent to…there should be plenty of things getting in his way.

But to his surprise, he found that there wasn’t a single thing.

No matter how careful he was, he couldn’t find a single thing here.

It was as if this entire world was empty and he was the only person that was here.

So it was a very uneventful journey to the X.

In fact, the only thing that got in his way was his own slow action. If he hadn’t moved so slowly and deliberately, he would have reached this place a long time ago.

It was all because he took it slow that it took him this long to arrive.

When he arrived, he found that there wasn’t a single thing waiting for him, just like the rest of this special cultivation realm.

Even though on the map, the lantern mark was right over the X, there was nothing here around him. He couldn’t find a single thing in this place that would be worthy of there being a X on the map.

But there was no mistaking it since this was where the lantern mark met with the X.

So why did the system bring him to this place?
