Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"Not bad, even a minor official can get a place to live."

Ye Ming looked at the small house in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that the house was particularly good, but rather that it was secluded and quiet enough!

"What a perfect place to be assassinated!"

Ye Ming smiled and sighed, then entered the room and released the mechanical insects he carried to investigate.

"Two rooms, one for each of us. Let's go out to buy things later. I'm going to take a nap first." Ye Ming yawned, stretched, and walked into the room.

Xiaolongnu nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged between the two rooms and began to practice breathing exercises.

After closing the door, Ye Ming took out the third-generation divine body upgrade chamber that Ye Ming from the Super God Academy had prepared for him long ago.

"So far, there haven't been any particularly powerful enemies. It seems that in this world, the third-tier gene lock is only at the beginner level, or at the level of a junior officer."

"It was right not to upgrade directly, to avoid the God Realm increasing the difficulty, but what about those newbies? The God Realm wouldn't give them missions that would mean certain death, which means their missions are different from our BOSS team's..."

Ye Ming carefully reviewed his current experience.

The strongest person they have encountered so far is Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Attendants, and the second strongest is Bao Xin, whom they just met.

Based on the strongest systems Ye Ming and his ilk currently possess, Zhang Rang is roughly at the Dragon Transformation Realm within the Shrouding the Heavens system, while Bao Xin, whom most people assume to be a military general, is actually a civil official who has led troops. His current strength level is roughly at the peak of the Four Extremes Realm, just one step away from the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Although we don't know their actual combat strength or lifespan, we can be sure that they are stronger than Ye Ming is now!

Therefore, his top priority is to upgrade his divine body in order to better cope with the upcoming crisis!

"Previously, controlling the robotic insects relied on gene locks, but after the upgrade, it won't be so troublesome."

Ye Ming decided to lie down directly inside the upgrade chamber and begin his upgrade.

As Ye Ming was upgrading, a shadow was rapidly flying towards their courtyard.

The shadow flew into the courtyard, quickly hiding and waiting for nightfall.

They lived in a large house with a courtyard, a front hall, a backyard field, two side rooms, and even a kitchen.

This can be considered one of the advantages of living in a remote area.

It was precisely because it was large and quiet enough that Xiaolongnu was able to cultivate undisturbed, giving her a feeling of returning to Zhongnan Mountain and cultivating in the Tomb of the Living Dead.

At this moment, Xiaolongnu was cultivating alone in the hall.

With each breath, she felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly converging upon her, and the powerful effects of the combined Nine Yin and Nine Yang manifested in this higher world!

"My cultivation speed is more than ten times faster than before! This world is indeed more advanced. If I continue cultivating at this speed, it won't be long before I reach the Void Shattering Realm!"

A sense of joy rose in Xiaolongnu's heart.

The "shattered void" she spoke of was a realm capable of breaking through the boundless and shattering the Heavenly Dao, thus reaching a higher level of the world.

But during her time, apart from Huang Chang, who created the Nine Yin Manual and eventually gave up on breaking through the void, no one else had ever reached this legendary realm.

"The general I met today was also very powerful, Bao Xin... For the first time, I feel like I haven't read enough books. I wonder if he is a powerful historical figure. It would be great if I could have a match with him and compare our levels of skill."

Little Dragon Girl slowly finished her practice, then got up to prepare some food.

Her current realm is classified as "Grandmaster" in her world, just one step away from breaking through the void.

If this realm were converted to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it would be around the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, capable of sublimating the physical body, increasing power, and possessing many magical abilities.

To be honest, this level is only slightly higher than that of non-combatants like Consort He.

Ye Ming looked at Bao Xin's strength and realized that it had reached the second level of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Perhaps his performance was far inferior, but his life level was undoubtedly comparable!

Little Dragon Girl didn't know how many powerful people were here, but she knew it was dangerous, so she quietly bought some things and returned before curfew.

After closing the door, Xiaolongnu checked the telepathic connection, but Ye Ming still didn't respond, so she ate her food and waited silently.

But just as she was taking small bites of a steamed bun, she suddenly sensed something was amiss.

It's like a mismatched pebble falling into a calm pond, creating ripples and breaking the tranquility.

Xiaolongnu immediately released her divine sense to investigate; this was the essence, energy, and spirit she had refined after advancing to the Grandmaster level.

It was precisely because of this unique divine sense that she was able to find a glimmer of hope in many seemingly hopeless situations and escape the pursuit of many righteous and demonic people.

But this time, her divine sense quickly swept across the entire room and courtyard, and not even a blade of grass or an ant could escape her scan and surveillance!

Strangely, Xiaolongnu did not notice anything unusual.

"Strange, am I just imagining things—?"

Before the sound of "ma" had even faded, Xiaolongnu suddenly sensed a chilling killing intent emanating from behind her!

The enemy's sword hadn't even touched her skin before she felt the pain!

"Whoosh!"

Little Dragon Girl immediately swung her sleeve and lashed out fiercely at the attacker.

As she unleashed this attack, the enemy, who was about to succeed, immediately withdrew and retreated.

Just as the other party withdrew, Xiaolongnu saw his appearance. He was dressed in black and his face was covered with a black cloth, but from the curves of his tight-fitting clothes, Xiaolongnu could tell that he was male.

This is a female assassin, and judging from her skillful techniques and decisive retreat after a failed attack, she is clearly a seasoned assassin!

The other party is a trained professional assassin!

"Who are you? Are you that Consort He who has come to take our lives?"

Xiaolongnu shouted her question, making a noise in an attempt to alert Ye Ming inside the room, but after she finished shouting, there was no response from inside the room.

"What is this guy doing at a time like this?!" Little Dragon Girl was anxious. She stood at the door, quickly deciding whether to leave or fight to the death to protect Ye Ming.

Upon seeing her actions, the assassin on the other side attacked again without hesitation, thrusting his black, gleaming blade at Xiaolongnu.

Little Dragon Girl could tell at a glance that the poison had been applied, so she dared not be careless. She quickly channeled her inner strength and pressed down on the enemy with her powerful inner force, attempting to keep the enemy at bay.

The other party raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting that Xiaolongnu's strength was so good.

The assassin's strength is roughly at the early stage of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. He is powerful and extremely fast, reaching the level of "shattering the void" mentioned by Xiaolongnu.

cough cough...

It's not that anyone can shatter the void, but in Xiaolongnu's understanding, anyone who surpasses the Grandmaster level is a "void-shattering" expert. She can't yet distinguish the difference in strength between them.

That's why she wanted to leave just now.

She knew she was no match for her opponent, and that fighting to the death would surely mean certain death!

The assassins were forced back by Xiaolongnu's immense internal energy, but they quickly returned.

She leaped across the wall with both feet, becoming a black afterimage, as if blending into the shadows, and suddenly appeared behind Xiaolongnu before fiercely swinging her knife!

"Bang!"

But just as her knife was about to pierce the back of Xiaolongnu's neck, dozens of hands wearing black gloves suddenly emerged from the shadows of the wall, grabbed the assassin's hand, and held her down tightly.

"What is this?"

The assassin had a pleasant voice, but after saying only one sentence, she suddenly shook her hand, shattering the arms.

Watching the arms vanish into shadow, the assassin seemed to understand something. He suddenly broke free from the shadows and darted outside the house.

"I didn't expect you to not abandon me. Not bad, my teammate."

Ye Ming pushed open the door, stretched, and looked at Xiaolongnu with a smile.

Xiaolongnu wanted to roll her eyes at his words, but she quickly held back and said expressionlessly, "It's just to avoid losing points. If you're this late again next time, I won't give up on you first, but you'll have to collect my corpse."

"Alright, alright, this won't happen again. I was just... breaking through, and it's done now. From now on, our path will be smooth sailing."

Ye Ming said confidently, then looked at the assassin who was trying to escape.

"Since it's delivered to our doorstep, let's not leave." Ye Ming said, and all the loaded power systems, including magic winds, arcane magic, shadow magic, and dragon language, were released based on the "subspace" he created.

This release mode bypasses the settings of the God Space, and even the God Space cannot restrict him!

In other words, even in this mythical Three Kingdoms world, the full power of all of Ye Ming's abilities can be fully demonstrated!

With the blessing of the Eight Winds of Magic and the power of arcane mathematics, the Shadow Magic was greatly enhanced. One by one, shadow soldiers rose up and quickly caught up with the assassin who was trying to escape.

The assassin witnessed this and retaliated, scattering a handful of caltrops. Each caltrop carried her power, and the moment it struck the shadowy soldiers, it shattered these soldiers, who had been enhanced by Ye Ming.

However, these shadowy soldiers, enhanced by Ye Ming, were enough to pose a threat to the assassins. Each of them carried a sharp blade that shimmered with arcane light, and the darts they threw were imbued with the elemental magic of the Eight Winds.

If an assassin is stabbed even once, he will be seriously injured!

"The intelligence was wrong. These guys had a trick up their sleeve. The mission given by the esteemed person failed, but the intelligence must be passed out."

The assassin began to think, trying to find an opportunity to temporarily escape Ye Ming's pursuit and then seize the chance to pass on the message.

But just as she was thinking and running away, Ye Ming silently appeared behind her with Xiaolongnu.

"Alright, stop running and come with me."

"What!?"

The assassin cried out in surprise, but was knocked unconscious by Ye Ming with a single blow.

He has now acquired the third-generation divine body, and the power of the Four Extremes Secret Realm that he previously exchanged for is now being fully displayed.

He simply reached out and grabbed the assassin, then a multitude of magical powers, including the Eight Winds and Arcane Magic, surged wildly, casting multiple seals and binding the assassin into a pretzel shape.

"Let's go, let's pretend nothing happened, get some sleep, and I'll go to work tomorrow... I'll go to the yamen, and then we'll visit the academy in Yingchuan in the evening."

Little Dragon Girl nodded; she was trying her best to calm herself down.

She never imagined that just by taking a nap, Ye Ming, who originally seemed weaker than her, would become so powerful!

She felt that the enemy she couldn't defeat was like a chick in Ye Ming's hands, easily manipulated!

The two returned to their residence and did not rush to interrogate the assassin.

The assassin line was sealed by Ye Ming and imprisoned in a small spatial cube. She cannot commit suicide or die, so there is nothing to worry about.

Upon returning to the residence, Ye Ming renovated the entire place, transforming it into their temporary base.

"Directly extracting matter from this world seems to be a bit of a blockage; it can't be directly converted and needs to go through some coal medium... It's a bit troublesome."

Ye Ming looked at his hands, and then began to try to cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique.

And this practice lasted all night.

As the sun rose, Ye Ming left home just in time to arrive at the yamen and begin his first day of work.

Nothing much happened on Ye Ming's first day at work. No one paid any attention to his arrival. The staff in charge of roll call simply confirmed Ye Ming's identity, assigned him some tasks, and then ignored him.

Ye Ming was happy to have some free time, constantly browsing through the knowledge and intelligence he wanted. While completing his work, he also collected a lot of useful information.

"Is it really okay to just put a map of the entire Yingchuan area here like this?"

Ye Ming looked at the strategic map and couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that He Jin doesn't have many capable people under his command these days, or perhaps he does have capable people, but he doesn't use them often...

For example, Bao Xin, who became famous at a young age.

This was a big shot that even Cao Cao had to take seriously. If he hadn't died so young, he probably would have accomplished something great.

But now, he's just a minor supervisor.

After finishing his work, Ye Ming left on time without any hesitation.

After get off work, he returned to his residence and took Xiaolongnu to the academy outside Yingchuan City.

Yes, the academy most favored by the prominent families of Yingchuan is located outside the city!

Although there are signs of chaos and the countryside is teeming with bandits, Yingchuan Academy outside the city will not be affected.

Because there were many guards and servants stationed there, or rather, Yingchuan Academy was a small fortified village!

"Wow, that's really impressive."

Looking at the impressive city walls and gate towers, Ye Ming couldn't help but marvel at the power of these aristocratic families.

The powerful clans at the end of the Han Dynasty had not yet reached their peak; they were only in their infancy.

But even this "prototype" is terrifying to look at.

"Let's go in and take a look."
