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

"Go in."

With a swift movement, Chen Ming transformed into a streak of azure light and vanished into the basin.

Enter the stone hall.

After walking through a winding corridor, a spacious hall suddenly appeared before us. Apart from a tunnel enclosed by a white jade railing, there was nothing else in the entire hall.

Chen Ming, who was familiar with the original work, naturally understood.

The tunnel in front of us leads to the underground swamp world where the Ink Dragon resides. In the original story, Han Li was forced to enter the tunnel and eventually formed a bond with Nangong Wan.

No hesitation.

Chen Ming went straight down the steps of the tunnel.

The tunnel has hundreds of steps and is filled with hot, humid air. If an ordinary cultivator were here, they would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, Chen Ming was practicing a fire-based martial art.

This slight dampness actually felt comfortable to him.

"After consuming the 'Earth Flame Spiritual Energy,' my body has become increasingly attractive to the fire spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Perhaps after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, my cultivation speed will actually increase even more."

As Chen Ming walked, this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

When he broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, his Qi Refining cultivation also reached its peak, so he naturally couldn't perceive the difference in cultivation speed.

The essence of cultivation is nothing more than the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Now his perception of fire elemental energy is becoming clearer, and even if the effect is not particularly significant, it should still increase his cultivation speed in the Qi Refining Path.

"However, relying solely on secluded cultivation is insufficient to break through to higher realms; ultimately, resources are still essential. Moreover, I'm probably the only one capable of cultivating the Dao of Two Realms, and I can't sell it even if I wanted to..."

Chen Ming sighed.

If the cultivation technique can be popularized, he can spread it widely after he becomes powerful, and then exchange it for enough spirit stones and resources. This way, his ascension in the future will be much easier.

pity.

Only he could cultivate simultaneously like this; if others tried to imitate him, they would probably explode and perish in an instant due to the conflict of magical powers.

......

The underground passage has only a few hundred steps.

While Chen Ming was contemplating the cultivation technique, he had unknowingly reached the end of the steps.

I pulled myself back to reality.

Chen Ming looked ahead and saw a swamp world about three miles in circumference. The swamp was full of muddy land with black bubbles rising everywhere, and no one knew how deep it was!

However, none of these are the most important.

Importantly, there was a small white jade pavilion built in the center of the swamp. There was no mud around the pavilion, only a straight path made of bluestone.

And in the center of the pavilion.

There was even a huge golden box floating in the air. The box was twelve feet long and half a foot wide, with a tightly closed lid. The box body had a faint golden light flowing through it, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item!

Chen Ming immediately spotted the giant golden box. He intended to use his divine sense and magic power to directly capture it, but the giant golden box remained motionless.

"As expected, it's covered in restrictions." Chen Ming's expression seemed to have anticipated this. "It seems Nangong Wan must have received a legacy, which is why she knows what's inside the golden box. If we can't open the box in the future, we'll probably have to ask Nangong Wan for help."

Glug glug.

It seemed that Chen Ming's divine sense and magical power had disturbed something. In a certain part of the swamp, the mudflow nearby suddenly began to churn, and black bubbles on the surrounding silt kept bursting.

until.

A huge, ferocious body emerged from the mud!

Chen Ming turned his gaze away from the golden box and looked at the ferocious beast that had just emerged.

Its body was covered in black scales, and it was three or four zhang long. A faint black mist lingered around its body, making it look extremely eerie.

"Ink Dragon".

Chen Ming uttered two words.

This demonic beast is a dragon, a race of demonic beasts with a remarkable bloodline. Even though it is only at the peak of the first level, it is still enough to contend with an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"roar."

Upon hearing the sound, the black dragon glared fiercely at Chen Ming with its small green eyes, roaring at him as if it were cursing him for disturbing its rest.

"Dragons possess immense strength, a sturdy body, and intelligence far surpassing that of ordinary low-level demonic beasts, often enabling them to fight against opponents of higher levels." Chen Ming looked at the black dragon, a strange light suddenly appearing in his eyes.

perhaps.

He can subdue this monster!

Riding a dragon and soaring through the sky.

This is something that countless people have dreamed of in their past lives.

Although the Ink Dragon is not a true dragon, it may well transform into one after it grows up!

Thinking about this...

Chen Ming suddenly began to perform a special incantation: "Fu Hua above, the language of communication..."

This incantation is the renowned spirit communication incantation of Cuishan Lake—Fu Hua's Wonderful Spirit Communication Incantation. Its function is extremely simple: it allows communication with demons who possess intelligence but are unable to refine their transverse bones and speak human language.

This technique was created in ancient times by Fu Hua Yuanjun, who generously and selflessly shared it with all cultivators in the cultivation world.

Because of this spiritual communication technique.

Communication between low-level cultivators of the human and demon races became easier, greatly promoting the development of both races at that time.

And this technique.

It has been passed down to this day and has always been taught for free.

Chen Ming also discovered this technique by chance when he was buying spells at Qingyou Tower. When he found out it was free, he naturally learned it without hesitation.

As the incantation was performed, the roar of the black dragon, under a mysterious fluctuation, slowly transformed into a language that Chen Ming could understand.

"To be able to cast this spell across two realms, this technique is truly profound. I wonder what realm Fu Hua Yuanjun is at? To possess such extraordinary abilities!"

Chen Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

He had only intended to try it out once or twice, but unexpectedly it actually worked.

However, the questions involving powerful beings were clearly beyond the comprehension of a lower-level cultivator like himself, so Chen Ming quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and listened attentively to the voice of the black dragon.

"Damn humans, you've harassed this dragon time and time again! Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with? If it weren't for the fact that your power is even greater than my mother's, I would have swallowed you whole long ago!"

The black dragon roared incessantly, regardless of whether the humans on the other side could understand it or not.

Or.

He was just using screaming to mask his inner fear.

Upon hearing the black dragon's voice, Chen Ming's lips twitched. He hadn't expected the black dragon's roar to mean this!

"You little dragon, you're quite the sharp-tongued one. Do you really think I can't understand what you're saying?!" Chen Ming's eyes narrowed, and his powerful cultivation at the Qi Condensation Realm was immediately unleashed as he shouted loudly at the black dragon.

"Uh-huh?!"

The black dragon's roar abruptly stopped, its mouth agape, its small eyes looking at Chen Ming with a bewildered expression.

How... how can this human speak the language of the dragons!

This is different from what Mother said!
