Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

The hard soil layer less than one meter thick is cracking. Mount Fuji will erupt at any time.

What should Lin Luoran do at this moment? She knows she can escape easily. With her personal ability of Bearing Essence, she can even take a walk in the magma with a magical shield. However, her Wakan will run out eventually. She is not sure if she can protect so many people when Orochi breaks the seal.

They have to leave first. Lin Luoran makes this decision quickly.

Almost all families she cares about are here so she can’t let Orochi kill them all together. Orochi still wants to get her godhead. As long as Lin Luoran holds out until the last, Orochi will not have enough energy to stop people from leaving here earlier.

Does she have to wait until the end?

She casts a “Message-Passing Spell” to notify people outside to help them. There is still no response after a few seconds. With her spiritual mind, Lin Luoran finds that there is a fierce battle outside the crater.

Saito Asada is here with a large group of Nihonese cultivators. Li Xi’er and Wen Guanjing are defending against them with their personal ability of the Laying Foundation period. They cooperate with Special Forces guys and have certain advantages.

However, members of Special Forces are just ordinary people who are good at marching and single combat. Although they have the magical bullet which is troublesome for Nihonese cultivators, they are still defenseless.

Li Xi’er needs to protect these Special Forces guys so she can’t totally prevail.

Wen Guanjing has gained plenty of experience of fighting. With the personal ability of the early Laying Foundation period, he has tried very hard to fight with Saito Asada.

“Yuan Ye!”

Yuan Ye shakes off his surprise and then walks to Lin Luoran.

“Take these people out first.” Yuan Ye is the only one here who can fly on a sword. The Storage Bags of Sixie of family Mu, Cui Hejian, and Ye Xiaobei have been missing. It’s not an optimistic scenario now.

Yuan Ye knows Lin Luoran very well. When she says something, she rarely takes it back. He glances at everyone quickly and decides to take ordinary women of Huaxia out first.

Huang Juan is one of them. This female student practicing Kung fu is astonished by everything she has experienced. Now she is not moderate and confident as Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian first met her.

Lin Luoran also asks Goldie to send Huang Weijian and Lin Luodong out first.

Seeing that people of Huaxia are all about to leave here on a sword or hawk, exhausted and skinny young Nihonese survivors who have disappeared with them together start making a disturbance with ferocious stares. They have to swallow their anger that they are excluded from Lin Luoran’s magical shield. At this moment, they are even being backed by the geothermal heat. These Nihonese young people have lost their fear for cultivators—

“Why can they go first? Every citizen of our great Nihon Empire is the most noble one. We should go first! ”

A yellow-haired young man makes a scene and soon everyone else follows him.

Lin Luoran ignores him totally. She is watching several people putting Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian on Goldie’s back. Goldie flies in the air. It’s only a distance of a few kilometers so Yuan Ye and Goldie can both travel quickly.

In this way, maybe they can transfer Mr. Lin and others before the underground lava erupts?

If the lava really erupts, there will not be much time left for Lin Luoran. Cultivators have the ability to protect themselves. However, these ordinary people need to be far away enough to safeguard their lives.

The youth man with yellow hair is so annoyed because Lin Luoran totally ignores him and makes him be mortifying. The fear for death makes him lose his mind so he dashes to the Fire-Proof Dome. People nearby can’t hold him at all. They can only watch him hitting the Fire-Proof Dome like a moth flying into the fire and being burnt alive!

Now there is not even one Nihonese talking. Although it may be not safe to stay outside the Dome, anyone breaking through it forcibly will die immediately.

Now ordinary people of Huaxia who are protected by Lin Luoran in the Fire-proof Dome are all looking at her with fear in their eyes. She sees a living person burning to death with her own two eyes but she feels nothing. They really think she is not so different from the roaring monster under the volcano.

Lin Luoran doesn’t want to explain. However, seeing that her fellows are all freaking out, she feels resigned to it.

“Do you think it’s my fault that I don’t save you, or you are victims of your own scheming?”

“Why does the devout power of faith turn dark?”

“It’s the darkness inside you that gives Orochi opportunity! Just thinking about your wishes to the goddess guarding the mountain in Mount Fuji, how many of them are evil and negative ones? Don’t you want to ask the goddess guarding the mountain to bring misfortune to your enemy or to make Nihon relive the glory days? Everything here is nourished by your wishes and I have no time to save people who have only themselves to blame! ”

Some people are totally speechless because of what she says. Most of them did dream of being in the war era, building careers of their own, and slaughtering their enemies. Therefore, they got hypnotized easily in the dream, thinking they are samurais and soldiers and doing whatever they want in the Edo era.

That was the reason why Orochi led them there. Tyrannical and aggressive young people are the best fertilizer for the dream.

Killings of the army continued until the turbulent late Sengoku period when Tokugawa Ieyasu waged wars lasting many years to unite the country. All people in the dream worshiped the god with a heart full of hostility. Such power of faith with darkness attribute enables Orochi to break the seal and take the godhead of goddess “Konohananosakuyahime”.

Lin Luoran has read their mind so they are all wordless.

Without the power of faith with darkness attribute accumulated by generations of Nihonese for four hundred years, Yamata no Orochi which has been suppressed under Mount Fuji should have been dead long ago. Therefore, disasters and chaos today could have totally been averted.

All in all, it’s their own faults, and now they want others to taste their own medicine?

People of Huaxia have figured out these things and they all glare at the surviving Nihonese. These people really deserve to die. They even want to use a life to create strife between people of Huaxia and the great savior when they are about to die!

However, these Huaxia people have forgotten if they had not been as violent as these Nihonese, they would not have been so stuck in the dream.

“You little cultivator are just like that bitch. You all pretend to be a kind-hearted person to get the power of faith.” Orochi says with a low voice after it is silent for a long time. The bitch it is talking about is naturally the goddess guarding the Mount Fuji, Konohananosakuyahime, who has suppressed it under Mount Fuji and made it “enjoy” the burning Hellfire of Mountain Fuji.

Lin Luoran sees that the last group of Huaxia ordinary people including Cui Hejian all has been transferred. She finally smiles with relief.

” Orochi, do I ever correct you? You always call a person admitted by the heaven and worshiped by people “little cultivator”. How about a monster suppressed under Mount Fuji and sustaining its life by stealing other people’s power of faith? Aren’t you a mere nothing in the mud?”

Lin Luoran’s voice is as gentle as a long song. It rises and falls when she speaks, making Yamata no Orochi laugh strangely after a long silence.

“As you wish. If I, your highness, don’t get up from the mud, your provocative words will be wasted...”

Orochi’s huge body twists under the hard soil layer. Mount Fuji starts to shake and the idle utters a faint sigh in the main hall of the Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine on the top of the mountain.

Does it finally respond? Lin Luoran floats in the air. She has changed the Fire-Proof Dome to Water Dome. The difference in temperature between alternating heat and cold forms an air flow which makes her skirt hem fly up and down.

Skinny Tokugawa curls up in the corner. He is barely alive and his eyelids suddenly flicker.

Ever since he betrayed his faith, he has never felt the goddess again.

...

“Huang Weijian, wake up!” Goldie threw them on a hillside and now Lin Luodong is rocking Huang Weijian fiercely.

Huang Weijian suddenly opens his eyes and spits out a leaf from his mouth. The reason why he and Lin Luodong could stay awake in the dream is these two ordinary leaves.

“You finally wake up. My sister is still under the crater. Without her suppression, Mount Fuji may erupt at any time... Do we really have to do as the woman said?”

The teenager is worried about Lin Luoran. Thinking about what happened the night when they sneaked into the Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, he doesn’t know if they should trust the woman they couldn’t see clearly.

But she did tell them a useful way to remember who they are. Will it be too careless to just trust her because of that?

Huang Weijian jumps up like a carp, “Of course we should trust her. Why don’t you trust her? The worst scenario is Mount Fuji erupts. We cultivators can survive and victims are still some Nihonese people nearby.”

They have nothing to lose in this deal. Lin Luodong also agrees with him.

“Goldie, come on, Goldie!” Lin Luodong waves to Goldie which tries to go down the crater again to accompany its owner.

Goldie only answers to Lin Luodong besides Lin Luoran in the whole Lin family. It can feel its owner can still hold on so it dives down and screams impatiently at Lin Luodong.

“Goldie, take us to the top of the mountain. We have to help my sister to deal with that Yamata no Orochi.”

Goldie tilts its head and thinks for two seconds. Then it holds Lin Luodong’s collar with its long beak and throws him on its back. Huang Weijian also jumps up himself.

The two boys hold the golden feathers on Goldie’s neck tightly. They come to the Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine a moment later.

“Goldie, burn this place except the main hall. ”

Saito Asada is sieging the crater with most of the masters of the Sengen Grand Shrine. Two people and one hawk are totally unhindered in the shrine. Lin Luodong points out the position of the main hall and Goldie begins to spit white fire everywhere else.

“Burn the cherry blossoms in the courtyard and the wooden wish plaques on both sides of the main hall!”

The white fire is burning. Orochi is now trying to break through the seal so the power of faith with darkness attribute here loses its commander. Burnt by Goldie’s white fire, an old cherry tree that nobody knows how old it is crackles into charred wood.

When the wooden wish plaques on both sides of the main hall are burned out, the main hall about to fall suddenly bursts out with a strong dazzling light as bright as sunshine.

This white power of faith has been locked up for many years. It soars into the sky and a shadow with flashing bright-colored skirt hem appears before the Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine.

The shaking of Mount Fuji suddenly slows down. Orochi feels panic inexplicably.

How can it be possible that she is still in the human world?
