Chapter 426: A Foolish Old Man Moving A Mountain

“Venerable One, now that you’ve casted your heavenly powers and flattened out the land, the estimated construction period will be halved.” At last, Head Engineer Liu said delightfully.

“Very well.” Fang Ning said plainly then turned and left after giving a few words of encouragement.

Well obviously, since he was done with his inspection and had already boasted about himself, why did he have to stay in this empty, dusty construction area?

As the crowd looked at the Venerable Dragon God leaving so charmingly, they were moved, a sense of security sprung up in their hearts.

If it were another powerhouse instead, perhaps many of them would be fearful, such that they would be afraid even in their sleep. After all, should that person be enraged, it would really be a terrifying disaster, which would be much scarier than the ruthless nature.

On the other hand, they need not worry if it was the Venerable Dragon God as he had never harmed innocent beings out of anger. He was their number one vigilante, their hero, a heavenly being, a righteous man.

“It seems like we won’t have to worry about the occurrence of disasters here anymore?” Somebody thought about this.

“That’s because of this very reason that we’ll have to perfect our construction work, and make it a millennium project!” Head Engineer Liu said with determination, “Now, you have no excuses to blame the poor project quality on external factors!”

“Yes, yes.” Upon hearing what he said, a group of people quickly nodded. This time, heaven was really watching over them.

Since the land over here was managed by the Dragon God, quality issues were definitely due to the lack of concentration from constructors and jerry-building. They had nothing to do with the topography or calamity factors.

Fang Ning who was on the Golden Train and was ready to leave vaguely heard their conversation, he instantly felt pleased.

“Sir, how is it, did you see that? I just killed three eagles with one arrow.” ¹

“Oh, I couldn’t tell…” Sir System was not acting in concert with him at all.

“You’re so incompetent and ignorant. For one, I speeded up the construction progress; secondly, I gathered the hearts of the public; thirdly, I elevated the construction quality. This is so simple, how could you not tell, you’re only good with money.” Fang Ning was extremely dissatisfied for not being praised, hence he took the opportunity to scorn it.

“Now that I’m done with the inspection, what should I do?” Fang Ning was troubled once again.

After pondering for three seconds, he decided to go sleep, no, to cultivate in his dreams…

He had no other choice, due to the anxiety among the people, his mental nourishment had been declining…

That was not entirely the case though, as there were huge productions of similar novels like scar literature and nostalgia literature that complemented the current era, and apocalyptic novels that were related to a pessimistic future. The thing was, Fang Ning were not fond of those genres!

…

While somebody started to sleep, somebody else started to work.

Devil Lord Zhi Nan led Black Robe and his followers to a small island on the Caribbean Sea, which was the entrance to Infernal Realm.

He knew that America was also developing an arcane realm in secret, so he had sent undercovers to infiltrate. Based on the information received, he found out that the realm was not suitable for the survival of the devils.

The best spot was still this place, which was abandoned by War Devil Lei Tian.

“What an idiot, such a waste of his past reputation.” Zhi Nan looked at the tropical island.

The sun was shining beautifully, debris was faintly seen hiding around the dense tropical forest, and the smell of smoke from gunpowders was also present.

“Master, how should we enter?” Black Robe looked around then asked as he could not sense any dimensional portal.

“Heh, there’s no need to enter, somebody will come and get us.” Zhi Nan stared at a stream on the island with an unperturbed look.

Sure enough, it was not long before a light gate appeared by the stream and a person walked out of it. It was Spirit King Bodhisattva.

“Welcome, Mister Ji, please excuse me for not meeting you sooner.” Bodhisattva smiled and said to Zhi Nan.

“You’re being too polite, I’m here to search for a place to settle down. Bodhisattva, you’ve always been kind and generous, I’m sure you won’t be stingy.” Zhi Nan said firmly.

“It’s a pity, although this place is spacious, there are already hundreds of millions of spiritual insects, it’ll be too forceful to occupy anyone else. Mister Ji, I suggest you to bring your men somewhere else to look for a place to settle down? This world is the shape of the universe and has endless planets, I’m sure there’ll be a place for you.” Bodhisattva replied.

When Zhi Nan heard him, he was not bothered, he was not curious of the fact Bodhisattva could tell that he was looking for a livable planet.

Even Gu Buwei could tell, let alone the spiritual transformation of Bodhisattva from the upper realm?

Nonetheless, even if he knew, could he do anything about him?

Impossible.

“A wise man won’t let go of what’s close at hand to seek for something far away. Bodhisattva, I think you should just hand over this place, lest the bloodfest between our clans.” Zhi Nan said plainly, but his tone had a hint of threat.

“Hah, you’re trying to induce the inner demon, aren’t you?” Bodhisattva was still quite well-informed.

“Hmph, so you want to do it the hard way!” Zhi Nan’s face turned cold, it was no longer indifferent like before, as if what Bodhisattva said had just revealed the scar in his heart.

He was seen staring at Spirit King Bodhisattva, then a gush of devilish energy shot to the sky, covering the whole place. It was truly fearsome.

Black auras were spiralling above the island, waiting to engulf someone.

In comparison, Spirit King Bodhisattva, who had been working hard on repressing the Infernal Realm could only appear as if everything was beyond his power. When faced with such devilish energy, it was hard for him to do anything.

That being said, Spirit King Bodhisattva did not lose his nerve, he only smiled.

Without a doubt, a brief moment later, a shadow appeared abruptly and landed in front of Spirit King Bodhisattva.

“Vigilante A, how could you arrive so quickly this time?” Zhi Nan retrieved his devilish energy and his face changed. “Damn this Tom, how dare it betray me?”

Based on his calculations, he only needed a short while before he could defeat Spirit King Bodhisattva and dominate the Infernal Realm. Afterward, he would gain the upperhand and would not be afraid of Vigilante A.

Who knew, Vigilante A did not give him the slightest chance!

Clearly, he had already learned all of the Space Diversion Skill, and this was probably taught to him by Tom the black cat!

As for why it was not Spirit King Bodhisattva, if he could teach him that skill, he would have done it sooner instead of waiting till this moment.

The Spatial Spiritual Ascension of Buddhism was not a simple thing to be learned, one needed to be enlightened.

“Let’s go.” Zhi Nan figured out the situation then left with Black Robe and his followers using his devilish energy.

“Brother Dragon, thank you for lending a helping hand.” Spirit King Bodhisattva said thankfully, if it was not for his timely rescue, he would really be in trouble.

Good deeds would be rewarded after all.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing, when will this Infernal Realm be completely transformed, Bodhisattva?” Vigilante A asked politely.

“It might take three months to a year’s time depending on the situation, I think it’ll be done soon.” Spirit King Bodhisattva pondered then estimated a time.

“It’ll be another three months before we get our reward, this is so slow.” Sir System said madly.

“This is considered fast already, be patient, how about we take this opportunity to look at their construction. I remember when Elder Gui Da betrayed the evil spirit altar, he mentioned that the Spirit King will put all their funds to the spiritual insects’ holy realm, which is the construction of this Infernal Realm. We can use their good qualities as a remedy for the shortcomings in our construction.” Fang Ning was quite interested in simulated construction.

“That sounds good too.” Sir System did not reject his idea.

“Hand over the body to me then.” Fang Ning quickly asked for his body.

Therefore, Vigilante A and Spirit King Bodhisattva conversed a while, he brought up his idea to take a stroll in the realm, which made Bodhisattva pleased.

“Brother Dragon, it’s such a gleeful occasion for you to visit the realm, I’ll ask them out to welcome your arrival.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Vigilante A said.

Fang Ning liked this glory, after all he did not cultivate by cleansing his heart or limiting his desires, instead he was seized by Sir as an earthling whereby his strengths kept elevating. Thus, he still possessed the attitudes of an earthling.

A short moment later, countless spiritual insects emerged from the light gate behind Bodhisattva.

They were mostly comprised of butterflies that had all kinds of forms and were variant in colors. As they flew and danced in the sky, they looked like brightly colored flowers.

Soon enough, under the lead of a few palm-sized butterflies, all the other butterflies arranged themselves in two neat rows along the sides of the light gate, they looked just like soldiers on guard.

Fang Ning’s eyes were glimmering from looking at this. If this trick was used to flirt with young ladies, it would be extremely effective.

System Notification: [The Host’s evil thoughts increased, needs to work harder in cultivating True Bodhi Tactics.]

“Hehe.” Fang Ning could not be bothered.

“Brother Dragon, please go ahead.” Bodhisattva said respectfully.

“Very well, what a great weather indeed. As expected, everything is just outstanding when you’re the one doing it, Bodhisattva. I believe that the spiritual insects will be very competent in the future.” Fang Ning praised.

Right after he said that, he held his head high and strode towards the welcoming butterflies. It was probably the first time ever he received such honor.

Unfortunately, there was no one else to witness this. Forget it, he could get manpower from Bodhisattva again for any huge occasions in the future.

Fang Ning instantly came up with an idea.

Once Fang Ning entered the light gate, he was astonished.

The first time he came to this Infernal Realm, it was a wasteland with skeletons everywhere and black auras around, it was just like a horrifying dead land.

Right now, the blackness had faded away from the black desert with skeletons all over, it had regained its sandy texture.

Other than that, the sandy land was currently flourishing with green shrubs and bushes, along with little flowers strewn here and there. The place hand turned lively.

He wondered how much hard work Spirit King Bodhisattva had put into this, as none of the Sources of Yin energy cooperated with him.

The Infernal Realm’s Heavenly Axiom had already matured, if not it would not have took the initiative to select Lei Tian as its owner of Heavenly Axiom. Under these circumstances, Bodhisattva probably devoted himself in this work to develop all of this.

When Fang Ning thought about this, he could not help but feel ashamed as he basically did not put in much effort in the few big projects that he was involved in. He only paid attention to them when he inspected those places.

“Bodhisattva, what you’re doing here it much more difficult than ‘a foolish old man moving a mountain’, this is truly hard to come by.” Fang Ning exclaimed.

“Hehe, Brother Dragon, you flatter me, this is all part of my duty, it can’t be compared with what you’re doing.” Spirit King Bodhisattva said humbly.

Fang Ning respected him for that, as he would have been extremely proud if it were him instead.

Bodhisattva was Bodhisattva after all, he had a high cultivation base and an even higher self-restraint, yet he was so humble. “The foolish old man” was just an ordinary man in the story anyway, how could he still be so humble?

This noble character of Bodhisattva really surpassed his own.

“Brother Dragon, please come over here.” Bodhisattva continued to guide the way.

A group of butterflies were flying above their heads.

As Fang Ning followed, he saw flowing streams around him, chirping birds, and beautiful flowers. The fearsome place had now turned into a paradise. It was obvious that the Buddhism trick used was unusual as it was able to restraint those evil devils, which only required half the work but produced twice the effect.

Not long after that, a forest appeared, each of those trees were bodhi trees.

At this moment, the bodhi trees bloomed, thus butterflies surrounded them and a few monks were also meditating beneath the trees.

Fang Ning sighed to himself, while he was developing areas, other people were not doing nothing too. As Bodhisattva was his ally, it would be better if he was stronger, but he wondered, how were his enemies doing with their developments?

It seemed like he could not be relaxed at all, he needed to send some undercovers over…
