Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 104 Forbidden Zone of Life (5,000 words)

"Uh……"

Li Yi touched her friend request letter.

I've rewritten the letter many times, but I still don't have the courage to send it.

After reading it once at the place where my sister is remembered, I felt that it still needed to be revised...

Of course, the memorial site is the roadside where my sister died.

After all, she can't go back home now, and the cemetery is too far away for her to visit regularly.

Therefore, the only place I can visit to commemorate my sister is the roadside where she died.

Although the traces of the battle between Ziyuan and her sister have been completely erased by the Beihai Civil Engineering Team, and the huge pit has been filled in.

But some traces were still left behind.

Li Yi erected a monument there, not exactly a tombstone, but a symbol to commemorate her sister.

Besides working at the Disaster Management Bureau, Li Yi would occasionally visit her sister's memorial to place some of the miracle seeds that her sister had wanted most in her life, which were, of course, replicas of the surrounding items.

There's also a bunch of merchandise related to Magical Girl Julu, which is my sister's favorite.

Then she took out the letter she had written to Jiang Si and read it aloud to her sister.

After all, this was something her sister suggested she do at the last minute, and Li Yi wanted to do it to the best of her ability.

Apart from that, she didn't really have any worries to tell her sister.

The Disaster Management Bureau has arranged a new bedroom for her and put her in their residence.

Although they can no longer transform, the Disaster Management Bureau has always been very generous in its arrangements for retired magical girls, providing them with food and lodging, as well as work and other living expenses, which they can basically apply for.

The bureau was well aware of Li Yi's family situation, so applying for subsidies was quite easy, and the bureau even covered her tuition fees.

So most of what they talked about was actually about the letters—as the last point of communication between the two sisters, talking about the new letters gave Li Yi the illusion that her older sister was still alive...

In short, upon hearing An Shiyu's words, Li Yi subconsciously touched her friend's letter.

I originally planned to write it better later and then have Coco help me pass it on.

But suddenly, she felt that she couldn't delay any longer.

"Pursuit, Jiang Si?" Peony pulled Susan behind her, then asked again, "Uh, little sister An Shiyu, I have something to tell you, but please don't be afraid."

“Beihai is a big city, there are quite a few people named Jiang Si, for example, we know someone named Jiang Si,” Peony said, picking up the mouse and starting to operate the computer, while Susan started taking notes.

"It just so happens that our Disaster Management Bureau's backend can also access some citizen information. Although the information is not updated very promptly, it can save you some trouble."

"Which Jiang Si are you looking for?"

An Shiyu nodded and began to recall seriously: "He was a bit short, he was already a bit short three years ago."

Tap! Peony gently tapped Enter, and a photo immediately appeared on the screen. She then quickly rotated the monitor so that An Shiyu could see it.

An Shiyu quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's not a Shiba Inu."

Snapped!
An Shiyu shook her head again: "It's not a cat, not a pet, but..."

After a pause, An Shiyu thought of the fox mask she wore when they reunited. "Compared to cats and dogs, it gives off a more fox-like vibe—mysterious, agile, and cunning."

Snapped!
“It’s not a real fox either.” An Shiyu waved her hand, looking puzzled. “I’m talking about a person.”

Susan snatched the computer and glared at her friend.

Seeing Susan's "I'll break your legs if you keep playing like this" look, Peony gave an awkward laugh, picked up her milk tea, and took a sip to calm herself down.

Susan nodded to the confused girl: "You can describe the person you're looking for in more detail."

An Shiyu blinked and continued, "He's about 1.6 meters tall."

Peony, who was drinking milk tea, seemed to choke and started coughing.

"I understand, please continue." Susan began filtering the information in the software.

"Black hair and black eyes, with a somewhat delicate appearance, but sharp eyes, and usually doesn't smile..."

Li Yi's gaze drifted, looking into the distance.

"The bus we were on was attacked by a monster. His parents died at the time, but he had a younger sister, I remember her name was Jiang Keke..."

Coco covered her face and sighed deeply. Susan shut down the computer expressionlessly. "We've come this far, what's the point of investigating anymore?"

An Shiyu tilted her head, looking at the four people who seemed a little strange, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Peony, biting her straw, weakly pointed to the two girls sitting in the hall next door.

"The Jiang Keke you mentioned is over there."

Startled for a moment, An Shiyu turned her head to look at Keke, staring at her for a long time before suddenly realizing, "I... I remember now, I used to cling to Jiang Si and make her hold me..."

"Waaaaah, you, you can't talk nonsense!"

Coco nearly threw her milk tea away, waving her right hand wildly, "I didn't!"

Yiyi whispered, "It's normal to like your older brother when you're little..."

I already said there isn't any!

Seeing how averse Coco was to talking about her childhood, An Shiyu immediately realized that she might have said something wrong.

He then added, "I'm sorry, I might have misremembered. I didn't think it through before I said it. I apologize."

Such a sincere apology left Coco somewhat at a loss.

After all, An Shiyu wasn't lying...

She shifted her position awkwardly and said softly, "No, it's nothing. Anyway, people tend to forget things from the past."

"Mmm, thank you Coco for not minding." An Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Coco has grown so tall and much prettier."

Coco wasn't very good at handling this kind of conversation, so she just nodded slightly and said, "Thank you..."

He immediately turned around and grabbed Li Yi's hand, whispering, "We're doomed, Yi Yi, she's amazing."

Yi Yi's consciousness was somewhat hazy, and she gave a vague "hmm".

An Shiyu tilted her head curiously, unaware of what the two girls were whispering about, but she didn't pay it any mind.

Since she's Jiang Si's sister, it's natural to try to build a good relationship and become friends...

"But Jiang Si already has a girlfriend."

Susan, who had been sitting calmly at the front desk, suddenly interjected.

An Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "You already have a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Susan's initially stiff expression gradually became natural and indifferent. "If you're here to pursue Jiang Si, I'm sorry, you're too late. You can go back now."

Peony immediately tugged at her friend, "Wow, what are you saying? A new magical girl finally arrives, and you're trying to kick her out?"

"They've come with ill intentions; we should persuade them to leave as soon as possible."

"How is it not good?"

"How can a magical girl who came for love protect the North Sea?" Susan said coldly. "On the contrary, she will only cause us trouble. If she angers Ziyuan, how will the Disaster Management Bureau get along with the Qingyun Sect? She should go and work for another Disaster Management Bureau. The North Sea is not suitable for you, Miss An Shiyu."

An Shiyu stood there helplessly, glanced back at the already departed Camellia, and then lowered her head. After a long while, she said in a dejected tone, "Oh, I see. Well, that's really a pity."

Coco and Li Yi both breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, it seems that An Shiyu isn't the type of person who would readily tell Jiang Si to find a new girlfriend, even if he already has one.

With a personality like that, Jiang Si would be in real danger if he didn't have a girlfriend...

Peony glanced at her friend Susan, then at Li Yi—the two of them were no match for An Shiyu at all.

Fortunately, Ziyuan had already won over Jiang Si early on.

Feeling relieved, Peony continued, "Beihai still lacks magical girls, so her willingness to stay at the Beihai Disaster Management Bureau is a good thing for us. Besides, An Shiyu isn't the kind of bad girl who would ruin someone else's relationship, is she? An Shiyu?"

An Shiyu, who had been stunned for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Yes, yes." She murmured, intending to say something polite, but Coco next to her suddenly asked with some concern, "Why are you crying?"

"Huh?" An Shiyu touched her face and found that there were indeed tears. She hadn't noticed them, but the tears kept falling. She wanted to wipe them clean, not wanting others to see her in such a disheveled state. "I, I didn't mean to cry."

But the more I wiped, the more there was; the more I wiped, the more there was, until finally I squatted down.
"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry. I'm sorry for causing you all trouble, but...but the tears just came out on their own, against my will. I'm really sorry..."

Hearing An Shiyu trying to suppress her sobs and continuing to explain and apologize.

Susan, who had originally intended to kick people out, swallowed back her harsh words and glared at Peony beside her, "Look at you, you made her cry."

"Hey, you were the one who said Jiang Si had a girlfriend first, so why are you blaming me..."

Coco squatted down beside her and carefully touched An Shiyu's hair.

The soft, warm red hair trembled slightly, and Coco felt an overwhelming pang of pity for it. She whispered a comforting word:
"Don't cry. Even though Jiang Si has someone she likes, you can still be friends. You can only have one lover, but you can have many friends. You can definitely be good friends, right?"

An Shiyu, her face streaked with tears, tried to wipe them away, sobbing, "Um, um, it's just that, the thought of possibly not being able to talk to Jiang Si anymore, not being able to see him, makes me unable to hold back... And, and, leaving Beihai, I don't know where to go..."

Peony glanced at Susan. "You made her cry, you have to take responsibility, right?"

“What’s it to me?” Susan pouted. “She insists on staying at the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau as a laborer. Let her be. I can’t stop her.”

"I knew you, Susan, were the best person, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted..."

"roll."

While Coco wiped away An Shiyu's tears and helped her up, she hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Then, would you like to come and stay at my place for a while?"

An Shiyu's crying subsided, and she sniffled, her voice still choked with sobs, "Is it okay?"

"Of course, our house is big enough, one more person won't be a problem. Besides, Jiang Si isn't home lately, and I've been feeling quite lonely living alone..."

With a "thud," Li Yi's milk tea fell to the ground.

Everyone looked over. Li Yi remained silent for a moment, then looked down at the shattered milk tea cup and said seriously:

"I also need to go."

……

Sitting cross-legged atop a high-rise building in BH City, Jiang Si, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, slowly opened her eyes.

"I have successfully cultivated my innate spell."

Where is it finished? Wasn't it like this from the beginning?
Jiang Si was slightly taken aback and used her spiritual sense to look inside her body.

It was actually that Nascent Soul Black Dragon, whose thoughts were connected to his!

With a slight smile, Jiang Si was not annoyed.

This means that one's realm has taken another step forward, and one's mind is truly connected with that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is something to celebrate.

"The trip to Hulin City served two purposes: firstly, to test my modified [Spell: Unity of All Beasts] and examine its practical application after the Nascent Soul stage; and secondly, to identify as many flaws in my Nascent Soul as possible in order to prepare for perfecting it. It seems that both objectives have been achieved so far."

The art of animal taming was unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't grasp the essentials. Ultimately, he had to try it out in real combat.

The three hundred B-level disaster beasts in Hulin City gave him further insights into the methods of controlling disaster beasts.

He connected the complex determinants within them, using fear as the core of the contagion.

It possesses exceptional control over large numbers of low-level monsters.

Once the ever-spreading fear is gathered together, it can easily break through the defenses of the advanced calamity beasts.

Not only can you try to control A-level disaster beasts.

As long as there are enough calamity beasts to nourish the fear, they will continuously flow into one's nascent soul.

Both the control over the Nascent Soul and the strength of the Nascent Soul will be improved to a higher level!
This is the true advantage of the Beast Taming style: it makes the controlled beasts elevate their master, willingly becoming the master's cultivation resources. The resulting sublime technique is the [Earth-grade spell - Unity of All Beasts]!
Then he heard the black dragon mutter in its heart: "Are you fucking stupid from being struck by lightning? From beginning to end, besides learning how to control the calamity beast, what the hell have you learned!"
"That's not true. Now that we are of one mind, it is proof that our innate magic has been successfully cultivated."

Bullshit! I'm being assimilated by you! What do you mean by telepathy?! You're trying to control my brain, I'm becoming your puppet, of course we're telepathically connected!

Ignoring the ramblings of the Nascent Soul cultivator, Jiang Si simply focused on experiencing her own power.

Having verified his innate spell, and with the addition of a large amount of filthy demonic power—no, immortal power—his nascent soul immortal power became even more abundant, and his realm was stabilized once again, allowing him to take a step forward.

Now that his physical body is capable of fighting against Shengzhuang, even a regular Shengzhuang might not be his match.

However, it still hasn't reached the ideal level.

In Jiang Si's own view, she still needs to complete the nascent soul form; a single innate spell is not enough.

My natal magic weapon needs to be urged on Ruoyun in Jiangming City. She has given so much time and resources, there should be some results by now.

As for the cultivation method, it's a bit of a pity that it still lacks the complete Witch Transformation Profound Technique from the Witch Association. This thing is hard to find, so we can only continue to work hard in the future, but we must get our hands on it.

However, the problem of the original body skipping too many levels and having an unstable cultivation realm with insufficient immortal power reserves compared to a true Golden Core stage cultivator has been largely resolved thanks to the selfless dedication of the Holy Hall members. The search for the Holy Hall members should continue.

The missing piece of innate energy is still unclear; we can only wait for the right opportunity...

In this way, he was finally able to see the road ahead more clearly.

Although his original body realm is now the Nascent Soul after the tribulation, it can only be compared with the early and middle stages of the Golden Core realm. He can only show strength that surpasses the norm because of his profound foundation.

In contrast, the transformed realm has reached the Nascent Soul stage—that is, the half-step Fully Open stage. Considering that the half-step Fully Open stage might be difficult for people to understand, Jiang Si has also defined a transitional state between the peak of the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage.

Shion is clearly in this state right now!
Even if he can make up for the deficiencies of the Nascent Soul.

But to the average person, the difference between these two is like the difference between orthodoxy and unorthodox sects, between attainment and heresy, between true Dharma and false Dharma—it's a world of difference, a difference in status!

Therefore, although it only includes his speculation, the existing two paths of cultivation—the path of the magical girl with pure magic and the path of the perfect witch with impure magic—can both be called the orthodox paths of this world, and can be called—

【The True Path of Taiyi Yin Yang Correct Position Cultivation】!
"Dude, are these two forces called that? Are you sure you've got the worldview wrong?"

The path of the Nascent Soul of the original Calamity Beast needs to be called the "Borrowing the False to Cultivate the True Method".

"So you know it's fake?"

Thus, the entire system can be referred to as the so-called "two paths and three days".

"Wait, what do you mean by two paths and three days..." Jiang Si stopped mid-sentence and suppressed the nascent soul to avoid disrupting his train of thought.

All the major paths he can find now are two orthodox cultivation paths plus one unorthodox path.

However, in Jiang Si's view, there is no such thing as right or wrong. As long as it is the path he takes, it is orthodox!
Therefore, his current form, the Calamity Beast Technique, also has a true name—

[Borrowing the false to cultivate the true, the Way of Heaven and Earth is mine alone!]
However, since this path is newly opened, there are still far too many areas that need to be improved. I will wait until I have accomplished something far surpassing what my predecessors have done before I spread the word about my great reputation.

The biggest problem now lies in the complete witch path of the [Taiyi Yin Yang Zhengwei Cultivation Path].

The territories of the three major witch societies in East China have been basically cleared out, but no information on related cultivation techniques has been found.

To learn about the complete Witch Transformation Mystic Art, one would probably need to go to the headquarters of the Witch Guild to obtain the relevant information.

But even the Disaster Management Bureau didn't know where the Witch Association's headquarters were.

So-called heretical and evil ways are truly hateful, always obstructing the path to heaven.

If I had been given the complete method of witch transformation long ago, why would I be wasting my time here? I should have already mastered the [Taiyi Yin Yang Orthodox Position Cultivation Path] and taken another step forward on the path of the Great Dao.

In the hands of those inferior cultivators, whether it be rare treasures or mysterious techniques, it would all be a waste of resources, waiting for them to make the most of them.

Thinking of this, he stopped meditating and got up to circulate his immortal power for two more cycles.

Without any obstruction, the Nascent Soul can mobilize immortal power much faster.

Just as I was about to go home, Dongjun, as beautiful as an ice flower, came up from behind me.

Jiang Si looked back and saw that Yu Mo, who had been hiding behind her, was nowhere to be seen.

He was probably driven away by Fuyu-kun.

"We've received news from the Twins." Dongjun straightened his hair and said seriously, "Currently, the Witch Association and the Disaster Management Bureau are preparing to enter the Heart Image Remains. The Heart Image Remains were left behind by the Full Bloom Magical Girl. There may still be the Full Bloom Magical Girl's power and consciousness inside. If we can go in, we might be able to learn the secret of the Full Bloom realm."

Jiang Si nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back, and murmured:

"Has it finally arrived? The forbidden zone of life, and the Great Emperor who severed himself!"

　It seems we've exhausted all our potential in the immortal path; I'm left with nothing but dregs. I'm quite satisfied with the current results and need to rest for a while. Thank you all for your support, dear readers. Lately, I've been sitting all day, and my back and head are starting to ache. I need to exercise. Everyone, please take care of your health!
