Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

"We've come to inquire about the Ancient Starry Sky Road. We hope the Lord of the Palace can answer our questions," Ye Fan said frankly, eager for battle.

Ji Ziyue, Nan Yao, Pang Bo and others all embarked on that unknown path before him. Even Ji Haoyue, the former God King, was still missing, and sent back a piece of blood-stained war grime.

His lover and close friends were fighting far away, and he knew nothing about their situation or whether they were in danger. How could he sit still?

"The Starry Sky Gate will take another six months to open." The old manor swayed his head slightly, revealing news that disappointed Ye Fan.

“It won’t take half a year. Just give me the coordinates, and I can take him across,” Russell said.

This wouldn't work for an ordinary Great Sage, but his stats have reached an unprecedented level. With the added benefit of the Chaos Body, as long as he has the coordinates, he can use the Great Void Technique to forcibly teleport there.

“In that case, it’s not difficult.” Master Qishi was surprised for a moment, then nodded, got up and led the way, with Luo Su, Ye Fan, and An Miaoyi following closely behind.

The four entered a special stone chamber, where a vast star map recorded the locations of various places in the universe. The location of Russell's ultimate trial was also recorded here.

Without exchanging any unnecessary words, the moment he obtained the coordinates, Russell switched to the Void Emperor template and descended directly into the Life Starfield.

……

The world of Lord of Mysteries.

Zhou Mingrui felt extremely unlucky.

I just thought I was curious and performed a ritual related to the Heavenly Venerable Fusheng Xuanhuang to change my destiny, so how did I end up time-traveling?

Not only did he time-travel, but he also seems to have gotten involved in a conspiracy involving the supernatural.

Getting caught up in a conspiracy is bad enough, but why is he still so poor after transmigrating...?

It's so frustrating!

Fortunately, there are other methods. If he traveled through time because of that transfer ceremony, he might be able to return because of that transfer ceremony as well.

He has already bought all the materials needed for that ceremony and is just waiting to go back so he can try it out.

Of course, you have to fill your stomach before you can perform the ceremony.

"Mrs. Slin, eight pounds of rye bread," Zhou Mingrui said in Slin's bakery.

Zhou Mingrui felt a pang of pain as he spent 9 pence on bread.

Indeed, Engel's coefficient only works in this damned Westernized world.

After stuffing the three copper pennies he received into his pocket, Zhou Mingrui prepared to go to the market next door, as this would determine whether he would be able to have meat for his first dinner since his transmigration.

At the intersection of Iron Cross Street and Narcissus Street, there is a municipal square where many tents have been set up and clowns dressed in strange and funny costumes are handing out flyers.

"A circus performance tomorrow night?" Zhou Mingrui glanced at the flyers in other people's hands and read out the gist of the content in a low voice.

Melissa, the younger sister of this body, would definitely love it, but I wonder how much the tickets will cost...

Although he still didn't feel much belonging to this body until this moment, he still wanted to do something for this family.

He moved closer, intending to ask one of the clowns with comical makeup a question, when his peripheral vision caught sight of something, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head and stared intently at the street corner he had just passed.

At that moment, there was a small stall there, and behind the stall sat a Taoist priest. Next to him was a bamboo pole with a white cloth hanging on it, bearing eight large characters: "Seeking immortals and consulting divination, honest and trustworthy to all, young and old."

Dao... Daoist?
This art style is a bit off...

Zhou Mingrui was completely stunned.

Most importantly, he discovered that even though people were coming and going on the street, and even a few children carrying balls were chasing each other by, they were completely unaware of this guy who was on a completely different level from them.

Was it a stroke of luck, or an illusion...?

Zhou Mingrui swallowed hard, and finally decided to take a gamble.

"Young man, would you like your fortune told?"

Just as Zhou Mingrui sat down at the stall, he heard the old Taoist priest in front of him ask a question.

What horrified him even more was that in this world where everyone spoke Ruen, the Taoist priest in front of him spoke fluent Chinese with a distinct old Beijing accent—it was incredibly authentic.

This further confirmed his suspicion that the old Taoist priest was no ordinary person.

"Master, do you know how I should get back?" Zhou Mingrui asked expectantly.

"I know, fifty taels of gold," the old Taoist priest replied readily.

"No, Taoist priest, we're from the same hometown!" Zhou Mingrui instantly put on a mask of pain.

Let alone fifty taels of gold, he wouldn't even be able to afford fifty dollars.

"Fellow villager? What does your ID card start with?" The old Taoist priest stared at Zhou Mingrui suspiciously for two seconds, then did some quick calculations with his fingers. His expression immediately changed, and he pointed at Zhou Mingrui, spitting as he began to curse: "You stinking outsider, #*%#@*（@！&）"

Zhou Mingrui was so spitting that he saw stars and couldn't even open his mouth. He only relaxed a little when the old Taoist priest got tired of cursing and shut his mouth. He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve.

It's outrageous! Even after time-traveling, I still managed to encounter such an authentic Beijing gentleman.

“You little bastard with only three coins in your pocket,” just as Zhou Mingrui was wondering what to say to ease the tension, the old Taoist priest across from him spoke up. He used his chin to peek into Zhou Mingrui’s pocket and said disdainfully, “There’s a way to get fifty taels, and there’s a way to get three coins. Do you want it or not?”

"Yes!" Zhou Mingrui nodded hurriedly, taking the three copper pennies he had left over from buying bread from his pocket and placing them on the table.

"Alright." In front of Zhou Mingrui, the old Taoist priest reached into his clothes and rubbed for a while, then pulled out something that looked like a chocolate bean and tossed it into Zhou Mingrui's hand: "Then let's settle the matter amicably, goodbye!"

"Hey! Don't..." Before Zhou Mingrui could finish speaking, his vision went black and then bright again. When his vision returned, he was still standing in the same spot, as if everything that had just happened was an unreal dream.

No! It's not a dream!

After a moment of confusion, Zhou Mingrui suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly put his hands into his pockets.

Sure enough, the three pennies had disappeared, replaced by a black pill.

Just as he was in a daze, a hoarse female voice suddenly came from beside Zhou Mingrui:

"Want a divination?"

He instinctively turned his head and saw a woman wearing a pointed hat and a long black dress standing in front of a low tent.

Her face was painted with red and yellow greasepaint, and her eyes were a deep gray-blue.

"No," Zhou Mingrui replied, shaking his head. He didn't have the spare money to do fortune-telling.

The woman smiled and said, "My tarot readings are very accurate."

“Tarot…” Zhou Mingrui was stunned.

The pronunciation sounds very similar to that of Tarot cards on Earth!
With the old Taoist priest's example as a warning, in a flash, Zhou Mingrui thought of a possibility: could there have been other time travelers before him?
hiss……

No, I need to hurry home and try this elixir.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Mingrui decided not to delay any longer. He declined the fortune teller's invitation to perform a divination and headed straight for the market.

As he watched his retreating figure, a look of doubt appeared on the fortune teller's face, and his eyes suddenly became deep, like an endless galaxy.

In her reflection, Zhou Mingrui remained Zhou Mingrui, without any impurities.

"Strange..." she murmured, the depth in her eyes gradually fading. As if she had no memory of what had just happened, she turned and left.

……

A place that can be tentatively called "home".

Zhou Mingrui put the food into the food basket, quickly returned to his room, locked the door, and took out the pills.

This thing should be taken orally, right...?

After hesitating for half a second, Zhou Mingrui somewhat uncertainly put the pill into his mouth, chewed it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The smell was so strong it almost made him ejaculate. It smelled like fermented soybean juice.

Zhou Mingrui thought to himself.

But since I've already eaten it, I have to swallow it down, even if it brings tears to my eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation between his eyebrows, his mind went blank for a moment, and the scene in front of him changed drastically.

Endless celestial mist shrouded the sky, and within the mist, one could vaguely see towering and magnificent celestial palaces, grand and imposing beyond compare.

Within the celestial palace shrouded in endless celestial mist and rosy light, carved railings and jade steps resembled white marble, and divine tiles shimmered with a brilliant light.

All the halls seemed to be forged from divine metal through countless hammerings, especially the central hall, which was extremely vast, with stars twinkling on its dome, subtly corresponding to the numbers of the heavens!

"This is...the Heavenly Court!?"

Zhou Mingrui was still in shock, but it wasn't over yet. He saw the immortal mist rolling, and one after another, the grand halls collapsed and shattered, like a mirror breaking apart. The surrounding space changed and turned into a huge mass of chaos.

There is no up or down, no front or back, no space or time; everything he knows does not exist here.

In this boundless chaos, he saw a Taoist priest.

The Taoist was shrouded in boundless chaos, his face obscured. All that could be seen was that with a sweep of his whisk, the chaos exploded, and stars coalesced, transforming this world into a vast starry sky.

In the starry sky, the Taoist's figure was shrouded in endless divine light, his expression calm and indifferent.

Zhou Mingrui instantly understood that this Taoist was performing a creation of heaven and earth. The next moment, he suddenly shuddered because he saw the Taoist turn his head to look at him.

In just a few moments, the celestial mist vanished, the magnificent palaces disappeared, and everything vanished without a trace.

All that remained was an empty hall, rows of prayer cushions, and his own spot at the highest position.

As for why he knew that position was his, it was because it was inscribed with "Zhou Mingrui's Position".

"Playing this big with just three pennies..."

Zhou Mingrui swallowed hard. He would fight anyone who called that Taoist priest a swindler from now on.

He walked around and looked around, and found that the area he could walk in was limited to this hall. Outside the hall, the clouds were thick and endless purple light flowed.

Every time he got close, a voice would automatically ring in his mind—"Let's explore the area ahead later."

Well, it’s hard to comment.

I won't think about it anymore, I'm already here.

Zhou Mingrui sat in the head seat.

A mirror, as clear as jade, descended from the swirling purple-gold light above the dome and hovered in front of him.

He looked up and saw the silver light on the mirror ripple like water, transforming into several lines of large seal script characters.

[Master: Zhou Mingrui/Klein]

Current Source Energy: 100

[Can be entered into a lottery] [Can be redeemed] [Can be unlocked]

Filled with curiosity, Zhou Mingrui clicked into the three unlocked templates one by one.

The lottery is simple, with four tiers: white for 10 points, cyan for 100 points, blue for 1000 points, and purple for 10,000 points.

Redemption is also very simple, just like in the game store. As long as you have source energy, you can redeem anything, from Pangu's axe to girls' panties.

Unlocking is not so simple. He glanced at it and saw that the unlocking corresponds to various areas of the Heavenly Court. Roughly calculated, each area requires at least a million points.

He thought, "I can't afford to offend them, I can't afford to offend them." He felt that this small hall was quite nice.

Looking around, Zhou Mingrui still had 100 points of source energy left. He thought he might as well try a ten-pull first.

Not for any other reason than that he saw grain, meat, and other convertible currencies in the white pool.

Since we can't go back, it's not a bad idea to use some of the things we need now to supplement our household income.

Under his mental communication, 100 points of source energy were rapidly consumed.

Ten beams of light burst forth from the dome.

White, white, white, white, blue, white, white, white, gold, white.

To be honest, Zhou Mingrui was dumbfounded when that golden light exploded in front of him.

Can gold be found in White Pool?

Is this the kind of luck I, Zhou Mingrui, could ever have?

[The Thirteen Bodyguards' Secret Technique for External Strength: By practicing this technique, you will become the biggest and hardest man in the world]

[The gaze of the great Bertrand Russell: Young man, you have gained the favor of the great Bertrand Russell; something incredible is about to happen.]

Having money is great; this time, we won't lose out.

The secret recipe for the delicious Krabby Patty... Goodness, the Krusty Krab has been completely wiped out.

And who is this great Russell? I've never heard of such a person in Heaven.

As for the Thirteen Bodyguards' external training...

Zhou Mingrui looked at himself in the mirror. His thin body and delicate face didn't seem like the kind of person who was suited for the physical training path.

If he could cultivate, he would still hope to become a peerless sword immortal, dressed in white with a dashing air and wielding a three-foot-long sword.

Ah... it's all about timing and fate.

In this world where extraordinary beings exist, and given that he may have already found himself caught in some kind of conspiracy, he no longer has a choice.

The most urgent task is to save lives.

Zhou Mingrui raised his finger and tapped the blue light ball. The next moment, the light ball transformed into a stream of light and flowed into his brow.

Countless words and images exploded in his mind in an instant.

His physique also began to change; his thin body bulged with muscles, and an invisible luster appeared on his body.

Phew... thankfully, it's only changed slightly, and I haven't turned into a muscular hunk.

Seeing that he was only a little taller and a little stronger in the mirror, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From the information he received, he learned that the "Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training" has thirteen levels. He is currently at the third level, and he will need to overcome the next ten levels on his own.

In the thirteen levels, you can gain a new ability for each level you clear.

He now possesses three superpowers: strength, speed, and focus.

"Looks pretty good." Zhou Mingrui clenched his fist, a feeling of unprecedented comfort welling up inside him. He should now be considered to have entered the ranks of the extraordinary, and had a little bit of self-defense ability.

After calming down, Zhou Mingrui prepared to return to reality. With start-up capital and the secret recipe for delicious crab roe burgers, the family of three might be able to achieve prosperity in the future, instead of being as strapped for cash as they are now.

However, just before his thought arose, the sky above began to shake rapidly, and two bright stars streaked across the sky at an extremely fast speed, landing on the main hall and transforming into a man and a woman.

"Sir, where is this?"

"What do you want to do?"

Audrey and Alger asked the question simultaneously. (End of Chapter)
