Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 543 Zhang Chulan Descends into Reality, Can a Panda Also Become a "Celestial Being"?

However, after the initial excitement subsided, a strong feeling of emptiness suddenly came from my abdomen.

Abao subconsciously touched its noticeably thinner belly. The previous training and the burst of energy it had just unleashed had really taken a toll, and it felt hungry again.

"Uh"

It secretly glanced at Azi beside it.

Having just eaten such a large mutated wild boar not long ago, it now says it's hungry again; even it feels a little embarrassed.

We need to come up with a decent reason.

How about afternoon tea? Replenishing energy after meditation is very important.

Just as it was about to use the "afternoon tea" analogy to persuade Azi to go get some more food with it.
"Pfft!"

A dull thud, like a heavy object falling to the ground, suddenly came from behind the bushes not far away!

"Ouch! Ouch, that hurts..."

A voice that sounded somewhat young and tinged with pain rang out in the air.

Abao and Azi turned their heads to look at the same time.

A human boy, who looked to be about twenty years old and dressed in an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, was seen getting up from the ground with a grimacing expression, looking around blankly at the completely unfamiliar primitive mountain forest environment.

"What's going on?"

"Where have I come from? Is this still in China?"

Zhang Chulan rubbed his head, which was still dazed from the fall, his face full of confusion.

Wasn't he just sparring with Zhang Lingyu at Longhu Mountain? How did he suddenly end up here?
Is this some kind of special magic? It doesn't look like it at all.

He subconsciously circulated his internal energy and checked his physical condition. Apart from the slight pain from the fall, he seemed to be fine, and his energy was flowing normally.

This reassured him a little, but it only deepened his doubts.

He frowned, turned his head warily, and carefully examined the unfamiliar surroundings, trying to find some clues.

then
His gaze was fixed on a spot not far directly in front of him.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Zhang Chulan's mouth opened wide uncontrollably, and his expression changed from bewilderment to extreme shock and disbelief.

He even subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating from the fall.

A dozen meters away in front of him stood a bear and a weasel.
The key point is that this bear is actually a panda!
And it stands upright on its two hind legs like a human, with a pair of shorts incongruously around its waist!
The sable crouching next to it was also larger than ordinary minks, with glossy, smooth fur, like the finest purple satin.

The problem is, do sables even come in purple? Shouldn't they be brownish-black, dark brown, or yellowish-brown?

Is this a normal sable?
"Are animals becoming sentient beings now?"

Zhang Chulan muttered to himself subconsciously, but the next second, he suddenly jolted awake.

"No! This isn't a spirit, it's clearly a 'celestial being'!"

He recalled the methods of the shamans he had seen at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and those "spirits" who were summoned to possess him—weren't they just such beings?
I used to pretend to be an ordinary person, and since I wasn't involved in the supernatural community, I didn't know anything. But now that I'm not pretending anymore and I've come clean, you can't just throw all sorts of weirdos at you.

And even if weeds are one thing, can pandas become spirits?

This art style is just wrong!
What does "becoming a spirit" mean?

Just as Zhang Chulan was internally ranting, a voice filled with curiosity suddenly rang out in front of him.

Zhang Chulan froze, staring intently at the speaking panda, feeling as if a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind.

"Holy crap! That's some serious talent!"

"This person speaks clearly and without an accent. How many years must they have practiced?!"

However, Zhang Chulan was someone who had trained at "Na Du Tong" and experienced storms on Longhu Mountain. Putting aside everything else, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances and play dumb—no, I mean, to be flexible and adaptable—was first-rate.

The shock and bewilderment on his face lasted for less than half a second before instantly transforming into a warm, even slightly fawning smile. The speed at which he changed his expression was astonishing.

"Oh dear! Look at my mouth! I deserve to be hit!"

He lightly patted his mouth, bowed and scraped, his tone extremely respectful.

“This Panda Immortal, please don’t misunderstand; ‘becoming a spirit’ is something we mortals don’t know how to say.”

"People like you two, with your otherworldly air and imposing presence, must be called 'enlightened beings'! They must be called 'immortals'! I am a newcomer to this blessed land and I was blind to your greatness. I have offended you two. Please be magnanimous and do not hold it against me!"

As he spoke, he carefully scanned his surroundings out of the corner of his eye, paying particular attention to the movements of the purple sable. He secretly gathered his inner energy, ready to run away at any moment.

"this."

He rubbed his hands together, a harmless smile plastered on his face, and tentatively asked.

"May I ask you two immortals, what kind of blessed land is this?"

"I was just on Longhu Mountain a moment ago, and somehow I ended up here in the blink of an eye. I'm really confused. You two immortals are so powerful, could you please give me some guidance?"

He never mentioned how he got there, and temporarily suppressed his many questions and wariness, keeping a low profile for the time being.

He tried to get close to these two "immortals" by feigning innocence and flattering them, hoping to get some useful information out of them.

When you're unsure of the situation, it's always good to play dumb.

"Immortals? Are you talking about us?"

Upon hearing this title, a hint of doubt flashed in A Bao's eyes. And with an air of otherworldly grace? Was it like A Zi?

But soon, it tilted its head, looking at the human in front of it with even more confusion:

"But your attitude is strange. Are you scared? Why are you afraid of us?"

A Bao couldn't understand Zhang Chulan's behavior at this moment.

In its mind, humans must be powerful and dangerous creatures, because that's what Azi told it.

They say they rarely venture deep into the mountains, but when they do, it often means trouble.

When Azi discovered this human, she did indeed immediately go into a state of high alert.

We're still on guard, but we've relaxed a bit compared to the beginning.

Perhaps it's because the aura emanating from this human doesn't feel "threatening".

Why does this human act so obsequiously and fearfully in front of them? He's the stranger one, isn't he the one who suddenly appeared in front of them?

Zhang Chulan was taken aback by A Bao's blunt question, and his fawning smile almost vanished.

"Nonsense! A giant panda standing and talking while wearing pants, plus a sable with intimidating eyes—who wouldn't be scared of that combination?!"

"The fact that I can stand here and chat with you all already shows how strong my mental fortitude is!"

He was complaining madly in his mind.

But on the surface, he immediately shook his head vigorously, his smile becoming even more "sincere":
"Oh dear! You're making me feel so bad, Immortal!"

"I have the utmost respect for you two immortals, how could I possibly be afraid!"

As he spoke, he carefully maintained a safe distance.

"The main reason is that the aura of the two immortals is too strong, with immortal light surrounding them. I am just a mortal, and standing in front of the two of you, I naturally feel a little ashamed."

Although he said that, he was actually planning something in his mind:

"This panda spirit seems a bit simple-minded? It doesn't seem very smart? Maybe we can get some information out of it."

"That sable hasn't said a word, so we have to be careful."

Zhang Chulan continued to pretend to be eager to learn.

"that."

"Immortal, you haven't told me yet what kind of treasure this place is. I have stumbled into this place by mistake and I am truly terrified, for fear of disturbing its tranquility."

He tried to steer the conversation back on track, emphasizing that figuring out where he was was the most important thing right now.

As for these two "spirits," it would be best if they didn't clash.

Whether he could win or not is another matter, but the key issue is that both of them are "state security officers," so he wouldn't dare to make a move.

"Huh? Where is this place?"

Abao was taken aback by the question, scratched the back of his head, and looked embarrassed.

"Actually, I'm not too sure about that either."

"I've only been here a few days, and I'm not familiar with the area yet."

It extended a claw, pointing in one direction of the valley:
“However, if you want to go to a place where there are people, Azi told me to keep walking in this direction for a very long time, and then you will see humans.”

"However, Azi and I cannot go with you."

"why?"

Zhang Chulan asked subconsciously, but a thought suddenly struck him.

There is a way!
Although I don't know where this place is, I'm glad I can meet someone and ask them.

They even said that these two "spirits" didn't know where they were or what they were doing here.
A Bao felt a little aggrieved after hearing Zhang Chulan's words. It looked at A Zi beside it, then turned back to Zhang Chulan and said, "Because A Zi said that humans are very hostile towards me and other 'outcasts' like it."

“If they see us, they will likely hurt us.”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's mouth gaped open involuntarily, revealing a bewildered expression.

"Will you be hurt?"

He pointed at Abao, then at Azi.

"No, brothers, you two should really take a good look at yourselves!"

"You are a national treasure, the giant panda! And this one, though its color is a bit unusual, is still a sable!"

"You two are practically untouchable in China."

"As long as we don't run into those damn poachers, who would dare to lay a finger on you? We'd be too busy protecting you to care."

"Besides! Are you two ordinary animals? Poachers would kneel down and kowtow to the gods for protection if they saw you."

"Who dares to mess with you? Are you tired of living?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't understand why these two "spirits," whose strength was unknown but who looked formidable, would harbor such deep misunderstandings and wariness towards humans.

Have they been living in the mountains for so long that they've lost sight of their place in the country?
Anyone with supernatural abilities wouldn't dare to attack them casually; and how could an ordinary person possibly be their match?
Could it be that this isn't China? Or did they experience darkness he was unaware of before?
