I risked my life, using the butterfly effect to shatter the immortal realm.

The underground river was as cold as an ice cellar.

The water flowed like a knife, cutting ruthlessly in the darkness.

Yu Liang felt like a piece of rotten meat thrown into a washing machine, and his hypothermia made his consciousness begin to drift.

Only the pink ball of flesh in his arms was incredibly hot.

Pig Lord.

A murky yet powerful life force was flowing wildly into the beast's body through its fur.

That feeling was strange.

It doesn't feel like healing; it feels more like... forced filling.

The originally transparent and ethereal left hand was reshaped in the eerie light underwater.

Bones grow, flesh spreads.

In just a few breaths, a brand new hand took shape.

Her skin was as white as jade, with an eerie fluorescent glow, and as smooth as porcelain fresh from the kiln.

No fingerprints were found.

Perfect, yet it exudes an inhuman, deathly stillness.

"Gurgle..."

Yu Liang choked on some water and forced his eyes open.

Beside him, Su Xiu was clutching his belt tightly, her face turning blue, while her other hand was desperately protecting her head—that was where she kept her accounts.

Every time she choked on water, the girl would pinch Yu Liang hard.

The force was immense, and the resentment soared to the heavens.

He was clearly reminding himself: the money hasn't been recovered yet, I can't die.

Further away, Ling Qingxuan was on the verge of drowning.

This high-ranking inspector was now looking as disheveled as a drowned rat.

His sword was lost, and his spiritual power was sealed by Yin Sha.

She thrashed about in the water, her fingernails digging into the slippery rocks, tearing up flesh and blood, but she couldn't hold on at all.

Despair, for the first time, crept onto the face of this prodigy.

Just as she was about to be swept into the abyss by the undercurrent.

A hoof stretched out.

To be precise, it was Yu Liang who grabbed Pigsy's hind legs and handed him over like a lifeline.

The pig's trotter caught precisely on her collar.

A brute force came.

The three people and the pig tumbled and crawled onto a shallow beach covered with fluorescent moss.

"vomit--"

Ling Qingxuan lay on the ground, vomiting out a bellyful of black liquid.

She cautiously picked up a sharp stone, and when she looked up suddenly, she saw Yu Liang holding up his newborn left hand, staring blankly at the dark green moss light.

Those hands were so clean.

Inside the filthy underground cave, it was so clean it was unsettling.

"Stop looking."

Yu Liang's voice was hoarse, with a metallic quality, "Looking at it again, it's just a fake hand."

Ling Qingxuan was about to speak.

A tooth-grinding scraping sound rang out.

Piglet shook off the water from his body. On his pink belly, golden patterns slithered like live snakes, eventually converging at his throat.

"Cough...cough cough..."

The pig's snout opened.

Instead of squealing like a pig, it exhaled a cloud of black smoke.

The smoke ring twisted and stretched into a hideous human face.

Huanglong Zhenren!

The smoky face was contorted in agony, as if enduring the torments of purgatory, its hoarse roar echoing through the cavern:

"...The Dao Fruit...The living Dao Fruit...Give me back my immortality...!!!"

"what!"

Su Xiu screamed and fell to the ground.

The stone in Ling Qingxuan's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," and his whole body stiffened.

What is this?

Recording? Soul imprisonment?

How can a pig, after consuming the mark of a Golden Core cultivator, still let his obsessions escape like a fart?

Yu Liang's eye twitched, and he reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to disperse the smoke.

"Feel sorry."

He said casually, "I haven't been digesting well lately. That old bastard has some wicked intentions, and I'm having a bit of heartburn."

Ling Qingxuan: "..."

Before she could even reshape her worldview, the once calm waters erupted into chaos.

Whoosh!

Countless black shadows, each as thick as an arm, leaped out of the water.

A mouthful of sharp teeth, and degenerated eyeballs.

Corpse eel!

This creature feeds on rotten flesh and was driven mad by the "powerful medicine" aura emanating from the pig.

Densely packed, hundreds and thousands, like a black tide instantly sealing off all escape routes.

"It's over..." Su Xiu's face turned ashen. "This time we really have to feed the fish."

Ling Qingxuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to gather his qi, but his dantian was wracked with excruciating pain.

How can a mortal body withstand these thousands of demons?

"What are you spacing out for?"

Yu Liang roared, grabbed the pig from the ground, and shouted, "Run!"

The three of them ran as fast as they could.

However, the cave is rugged, and the corpse eels slide and launch themselves at an astonishing speed.

In less than ten breaths, they were cornered.

Behind me was a rocky wall, and in front of me was a swarm of eels with their sharp teeth bared, their stench overwhelming.

A certain death trap.

Just then.

The pig in my arms suddenly shuddered and lifted its hind legs.

Nourishes—

A clear stream of water pierced the darkness, splashing onto the gravel ground in front of him.

I peed.

I was so scared I peed my pants.

However, an absurd scene unfolded.

Those ferocious, bloodthirsty corpse eels, the instant they touched the edge of the urine stain—

Sudden braking!

They writhed and retreated in terror as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of fire, and some even crashed into their companions and died because they couldn't stop in time.

The air condensed.

All that remained was the soft, drizzling sound of urine.

Yu Liang's eyes shone like two will-o'-the-wisps.

"Sophisticated!"

Without any hesitation, he reached out and smeared the wet liquid on the ground, frantically smearing it on his face and neck.

The movements were fluid and effortless, without the slightest psychological burden.

"This..." Su Xiu was dumbfounded.

"Apply it!"

Yu Liang turned around and roared, "If you don't want to die, hurry up and apply it! This is boy's urine, it wards off evil spirits!"

Su Xiu gritted her teeth.

If you've lost all your money, what right do you have to save face?

She rushed over, gagging and wiping herself down. Afterward, she hugged Pigsy tightly and gave him a big kiss: "Baby! You're my god! I'll make a longevity tablet for you when we get back!"

In the end, only Ling Qingxuan remained.

Her face was as pale as paper as she looked at the pool of foul-smelling liquid, then at the approaching swarm of corpse eels.

Twenty years of self-cultivation.

The dignity of the inspector.

The pride of a noblewoman.

At this moment, the scales of survival are colliding violently.

Yu Liang wiped his face, a half-smile on his face: "Lord Ling, appearances can put food on the table, but they can't save you from death. This pig just saved your life, isn't it shameful?"

Ling Qingxuan closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears slid down his cheeks.

She squatted down.

Trembling fingers reached towards the pool of filth.

……

After a while.

The three men and one pig, reeking of foul odor, swaggered through the swarm of corpse eels.

The monsters, as if encountering their natural enemy, buried their heads in the water and trembled.

Safe.

Ling Qingxuan leaned against the rock wall, rubbing his face so hard with his sleeve that his skin almost broke.

"This...is also part of your scheme?" Her voice trembled.

Yu Liang leaned against the rock, gently twisting the air with his strangely perfect left hand.

"Lord Ling, as I said, I want things to be the way they are meant to be."

"All things in the universe are mutually restraining. Pigs eat swill and filth, while carrion eels feed on decay but fear the extreme yang."

"This pig ate the Golden Elixir Mark, and its internal Yang Fire is at its peak. Its urine is extremely Yang."

"That makes sense, right?"

Ling Qingxuan opened his mouth.

What a load of rubbish!

This is the greatest insult to the cultivation world!

But the facts speak for themselves.

She took a deep breath, even though it smelled like pig urine, and slowly cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards Yu Liang—this was a gesture of respect between equals.

"Yu Liang."

"If I can get out of here alive, all that has happened before will be wiped clean."

"But you must tell me... what's wrong with this world?"

Yu Liang did not answer.

He raised the prosthetic hand and pointed into the depths of the cave.

"go out?"

"We've probably just crawled out of a doghouse and fallen into a pack of wolves."

Follow the finger.

At the edge of darkness stood a colossal shadow.

It was a stone archway that had collapsed halfway, standing alone at the end of the underground river.

By the golden light emanating from the Pig God, one could vaguely make out the ancient seal characters on the archway, which exuded a bloody aura from ancient times.

【Demon Suppression Bureau - Ninth Prison】

Ling Qingxuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"impossible……"

Her voice lost control, "The Demon Suppression Division only has eight levels! All of them are below the Immortal Alliance headquarters! This Ninth Prison... has never been recorded in the files!"

"file?"

Yu Liang sneered, "That's nothing more than a victor's diary."

"Looks like we've accidentally stumbled into the Immortal Alliance's 'garbage can'."

Su Xiu shrank back: "What's the Immortal Alliance? It sounds like a merchant guild that manages money."

Ling Qingxuan quickly waved his hand: "Don't mention those two words again, or you might be killed."

Just then.

The once quiet Pig Lord suddenly became agitated, his golden markings turning crimson red, as hot as a branding iron.

Su Xiu exclaimed in surprise and let go.

Pig Lord landed, but instead of running away, he lowered his body towards the lifeless archway.

Su Xiu was about to pick up the crazed beast to comfort him when, as if struck by lightning, she froze on the spot.

Pig Grandpa's two wet lips strangely parted to the sides, revealing two rows of uneven teeth.

Then, the tongue rolled over with great effort.

One word.

Clear and round, it came out of the pig's mouth.

"Hungry……"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a muffled bell being struck inside a sealed iron barrel.

The most deadly thing is the tone of voice—it's clearly the voice of a child who hasn't been weaned yet!

His voice was childish, yet it carried a sense of decay and vicissitude that only an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years possessed.

Ling Qingxuan's legs went weak, and his back slammed heavily against the rock wall.

She stared at the pig, her breath almost stopping.

The pig... spoke?

This is a million times more absurd than the pig urine corpse eel from before!

Before everyone could recover from the shock...

Pig Grandpa slowly turned his head, staring at Su Xiu, then looking at Yu Liang.

"I'm so hungry..."

The child's voice, tinged with sobs, echoed through the empty cave, sending chills down my spine.

"Don't...go...in..."

Su Xiu's eyes rolled back, and her body went limp as she slid down, almost fainting.

Ling Qingxuan was no better off, forcing himself not to lose control and wildly slash with his sword.

Pig Lord ignored the two women who were on the verge of going crazy.

It raised one front hoof, pointing tremblingly at the archway swallowed by darkness, its eyes revealing a fear unique to humans:

"There...is...a...god...inside..."

boom!

The moment the last word fell, Yu Liang felt as if his left palm had been burned by a red-hot iron.

That excruciating pain did not come from the body, but from cause and effect.

That's the world's fundamental logic frantically sounding an alarm—ahead lies a forbidden zone!

Yu Liang squinted, looking at the absolute darkness behind the archway, a darkness that even the threads of cause and effect could not penetrate.

To advance is certain death.

"Exquisite".

Yu Liang turned around, grabbed Su Xiu, and said, "This place is too expensive, we can't afford it, let's go somewhere else!"
