Mortal: Dual-Body Transmigration, Proving the Dao in Two Realms

An uninhabited, desolate mountain within Jianzhou.

This place has no special features; it is merely a meeting point for the seven factions.

After all, the Crimson Forbidden Land could not possibly be opened by the power of a single sect alone; only the combined efforts of seven Core Formation cultivators could temporarily break the restriction.

So many years ago.

The seven factions had already agreed to meet here.

The spirit boat was very fast.

Before a day had even passed, they had arrived at this desolate mountain from Huangfeng Valley.

The other six factions had not yet arrived at this time.

Chen Haoran waved his hand, allowing the disciples who had participated in the Crimson Forbidden Land to disperse and act freely.

He himself sat cross-legged on a huge rock and closed his eyes to rest.

They saw that the ancestor had already closed his eyes to rest.

The other Qi Refining disciples naturally dared not disturb the patriarch, and each found a relatively far place to rest.

Chen Ming was no exception.

But just as he found a place to rest, a young man dressed as a scholar came to his side and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Ming."

"Big brother."

Chen Ming was slightly surprised, but still replied.

This young man is none other than Chen Qiaogong, the eldest brother of the current generation of the Chen family with the character "Qiao" in his name. He has already reached the peak of Qi Refining at the age of twenty-something.

"Brother Ming, before we entered the Crimson Forbidden Land this time, Father instructed me to pass on a message to you: all the Chen family members entering the forbidden land this time will obey your command." Chen Qiaogong looked around and then used a soundproof spell to transmit his voice.

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ming wasn't particularly surprised.

Chen Qiaogong's father is the current head of the Chen family and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so his knowledge must far exceed that of ordinary people.

only......

"No need, brother. I'm better off acting alone. But you can leave me a keepsake so we can stay in touch if I'm in danger."

Chen Ming shook his head and said.

He was shocked by the extent of his cultivation. If he were to reveal it, what would happen if the Chen family demanded him back in the future?

Therefore, he might as well act alone.

With his unparalleled divine sense within the Crimson Forbidden Land, as long as he doesn't want to be exposed, no one can see through him!

"Well... alright then, but Ming-di, don't be too reckless. If you encounter an enemy you can't handle, feel free to call on us. After all, we're family!"

Chen Qiaogong said with a serious expression.

He was gentle by nature and valued family ties highly, so naturally he didn't want Chen Ming to take risks alone.

But ultimately, it was Chen Ming's own decision.

He couldn't very well refute it to his face.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm confident!" Chen Ming smiled slightly.

"Um."

Next.

After chatting for a few more minutes and exchanging a specially made communication tool, Chen Qiaogong went to find the other Chen family disciples.

He was the only direct descendant to enter this time, and since Chen Ming wasn't leading the way, the remaining clansmen naturally followed his orders.

With their cultivation levels, if they were to gather together, it would be difficult for any cultivator or demon beast in the Crimson Forbidden Land to stop them.

This was also a two-pronged preparation made by the Chen family.

No matter what.

The Chen family's gains this time are destined to be substantial!

......

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Just as the disciples of Huangfeng Valley were getting bored, a few star-like lights suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and they got closer and closer to the barren mountain, revealing a series of dark shadows.

"That's pretty cool."

Chen Ming looked up, a cold expression on his face.

These dark figures are disciples of the Qingxu Sect. Every time they appear, they ride on the sect's special flying magic weapon—the Snow Rainbow Silk. They are not fast, but their appearance is incredibly cool.

It makes disciples from other sects grit their teeth in hatred every time they see him.

However...

This time they've really bitten off more than they can chew.

"Once we enter the Crimson Forbidden Land, the first thing we'll do is strip the Taoists of your Qingxu Sect!" Chen Ming thought viciously.

Anyway, he was planning to rob the entire forbidden area.

It doesn't matter which one you grab first or which one you grab later.

Just as Chen Ming was pondering this.

The group from Qingxu Sect had already landed on the desolate mountain.

After one of the middle-aged Taoist priests put away the Snow Rainbow Silk, he looked at Chen Haoran, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation, with a somewhat surprised expression.

"I didn't expect it would be Benefactor Chen leading the team this time. This humble Taoist, Fuyunzi, greets you." The middle-aged Taoist's eyes darted around a few times, and suddenly a broad smile appeared on his face as he approached Chen Haoran.

"Fuyunzi? Your senior brother Huiyuanzi, could he have perished? I haven't seen him for decades." Chen Haoran opened his eyes, looked at the middle-aged Taoist in front of him, and asked directly without any politeness.

He far surpassed Fuyunzi in both cultivation level and seniority, so naturally he dared to speak like that.

"Senior Brother Huiyuanzi is still in seclusion, and he will likely break through to the late stage of Core Formation when he emerges." Fuyunzi's smile faltered, but he still replied.

"Oh."

Chen Haoran chuckled softly, it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Fu Yunzi remained unfazed, determined not to lose face. Since his senior brother wasn't there, he figured he could just let him talk nonsense.

"Alright, don't bother me unless it's something important. I need to rest."

Seeing that Chen Haoran was about to close his eyes again, Fu Yunzi suddenly became anxious.

"Wait a moment, Benefactor Chen!"

"Um?"

Chen Haoran frowned.

"Hehe, judging from the spirited and sharp eyes of your disciples, your cultivation is probably quite high. How about we make a bet on what your disciples will gain this time?"

Fu Yunzi spoke quickly, as if afraid that Chen Haoran would close his eyes and ignore him the next second.

"A bet?"

Chen Haoran was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Could this old Taoist priest not discern the cultivation level of the disciples they had sent out this time with his divine sense?

It should be noted that the Chen family alone has four disciples at the peak of Qi Refining, and each of them possesses top-tier magical artifacts and numerous talismans.

not to mention.

Zhonglingdao has gone all out this time, recruiting a total of five peak Qi Refining disciples!

On the surface, the Huangfeng Valley team has more than nine Qi Refining Peak experts this time. Where did this Taoist priest get the confidence to make this bet?

I had some doubts.

Chen Haoran's immense divine sense instantly swept over the Qingxu Sect's ranks.

This sweep.

He actually discovered something was wrong!

"Good heavens, they've managed to place nine peak Qi Refining cultivators there, and the rest of the disciples are all at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Qingxu Sect has really gone all out!"

Looking at the group of Taoists from Qingxu Sect, Chen Haoran knew that they probably already knew about the abnormalities in Huangfeng Valley in recent years.

Otherwise, follow the standards of previous years.

It would be considered a lot if two or three cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining appeared.

"If the Qingxu Sect knows, there's no reason why the other sects shouldn't. This time, the Blood Forbidden Land will likely be several times bloodier than in previous years!"

Chen Haoran felt a chill run down his spine and began to think further ahead.

With so many Qi Refining Peak cultivators entering the Crimson Forbidden Land, the demonic beasts that used to pose a threat to cultivators no longer hold any threat.

What really needs attention.

It's a battle between these peak Qi Refining disciples!
