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

"Ugh!"

A mournful cry came from the mouth of the black dragon. Looking at the skeletons, it felt only immense sorrow.

These ones.

They all seem to be its relatives!

"Um?"

As the black dragon wept bitterly, Chen Ming suddenly noticed something unusual at the bottom of the lake.

He floated past.

There was a place that resembled an underground stone chamber, which looked very similar to the stone hall outside. However, this stone hall was obviously not as big as the one outside, and even the door was extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Chen Ming silently pushed open the door.

The door had just opened.

Instantly.

The lake water outside seemed to have gone mad, trying to rush directly into the stone chamber, making it too late for Chen Ming to stop it with his magic.

Splash!

As soon as the lake water touched the stone chamber, a dark red barrier suddenly appeared from the void, firmly keeping all the lake water out.

"Are there any restrictions?"

Chen Ming was immediately startled.

His divine sense did not detect any restriction. If it weren't for the lake water, he probably would have triggered the restriction the moment he entered.

However, this restriction does not seem to have any killing power; it merely serves as a barrier.

Chen Ming gave it a try.

This was indeed the case.

No matter whether he attacks or forces his way in, the dark red barrier will only keep him out and not allow him to enter.

"Little Jiao, come here."

After several unsuccessful attempts, Chen Ming could only stop the black dragon from crying and let it try again.

After all, this place seems to be closely related to the Black Dragon.

This restriction must also be related to the other party.

"You human, do you even know I'm heartbroken? I don't have time!"

The black dragon couldn't help but roar loudly.

After being nourished by blood and qi and for some unknown reason, it felt as if it was thinking more, and even communicating with humans became much smoother.

Because he has not yet truly entered the world of cultivation, the current Mo Jiao is roughly equivalent to a simple fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

"Those are relatives from who-knows-how-many years ago, why bother with all that? You might even find news about your mother in there, are you sure you don't want to come?"

Chen Ming had already figured out Mo Jiao's temperament, and with a raised eyebrow, he deliberately said...

Mo Jiao was taken aback.

Concerned about its mother, it disregarded its argument with Chen Ming and wagged its tail to arrive in front of the stone chamber.

It had noticed Chen Ming's movements beforehand and knew that the barrier had no offensive capabilities.

However, just in case.

The black dragon merely extended its belly claw and cautiously touched the dark red barrier.

boo.

Who would have thought?

That was it!

As if a bubble had been popped, ripples spread across the entire barrier, before shattering with a crisp sound.

With no obstruction, a large amount of lake water rushed into the narrow door of the stone chamber.

Chen Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed into the lake with the current.

There are no more restrictions or obstacles.

His divine sense had already detected the situation inside. If it had been any later, he was truly afraid that the black dragon would have blocked him from entering.

"Cunning humans!"

Mo Jiao snorted coldly and followed behind Chen Ming.

After passing through an extremely narrow passage, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a large hall that was about ten feet long and wide.

The hall was filled with rows of tall white jade pillars, each radiating a spiritual light that illuminated the bead-like objects inside.

"Wow, it's so small."

The black dragon swam in and couldn't help but let out a cry.

It is currently in a state of constant advancement, and its length has increased to about five zhang. The entire space is only about twice its size, so it naturally feels cramped.

"Huh? What are you doing, you human?!"

Sudden.

Mo Jiao discovered Chen Ming, who had entered the hall earlier than him. At this moment, Chen Ming was frantically smashing those white jade pillars and putting all the things illuminated by spiritual light on them into his storage bag.

In just a short while.

Chen Ming has already taken the items from the seven white jade pillars!

"I never expected these pillars to be covered in demon cores, and because of the protective barrier, the demonic power of these cores hasn't been diminished at all; they can be used to refine elixirs!"

Chen Ming thought excitedly.

Even the instant the outer barrier was breached.

He had already sensed the demon cores inside, which is why he rushed in so eagerly.

It should be known that a demon core is the essence of the entire cultivation of a demon beast of level five or above. Most of the pills circulating in the Chaotic Star Sea are made from demon cores.

The reason why Han Li was able to break through the Core Formation realm so quickly.

The monsters of the Chaotic Star Sea deserve immense credit for their contribution!

"It seems that the black dragons outside were deliberately collected after they died. Not only were their corpses gathered at the bottom of the lake, but even their demon cores were carefully preserved with a restriction. I wonder if this was the work of the master of that forbidden area?"

As Chen Ming collected the demon core, he thought to himself.

With so many things gathered in one place, he didn't believe it wasn't the work of a human!

However, tens of thousands of years have passed.

Even a primordial spirit with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul has long since vanished into nothingness. No matter what kind of plan is laid out, it will only be a futile effort as time goes by!

These demon cores actually benefited him.

"These are all demon cores? Human, stop right now!"

At this time.

The black dragon also noticed the anomaly. It came to a white jade pillar and sensed the attraction of the demon core inside the spiritual light.

As long as we can devour these demon cores.

Forget about level two; it's not impossible for it to break through to level eight in the future.

The thought that Chen Ming had already taken several of these demon cores caused the black dragon immense heartache.

Seeing that Chen Ming had accelerated the collection of demon cores after hearing its roar, the black dragon disregarded its inner fear and charged towards Chen Ming with a roar.

"It's a pity that I only collected ten demon cores."

When Chen Ming saw that Mo Jiao had reacted, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although ten demon cores are not a small number, compared to the nearly one hundred demon cores in the entire hall, they still only account for less than one-tenth.

However, the black dragon had already rushed over, so it was impossible to continue collecting it.

"The Bing Fire element is bound!"

Chen Ming made a hand seal and chanted a Taoist incantation.

A string of flames suddenly appeared in the water and quickly coalesced into a thick rope. As the black dragon swam over, the rope moved and firmly bound it to the small hall.

only.....

Now that the Ink Dragon is on the verge of advancing to the next level, its body has become incredibly large. Coupled with its constant struggle, even Chen Ming has to use all his magic power to barely restrain it.

As for collecting more demon cores, that's naturally beyond our capabilities.

"Little Jiao, if we fight here, won't we destroy this precious land? Why don't we each divide it in half first, and then go outside to decide the winner?"

Chen Ming shouted loudly.

If it weren't for the demon core, he would have used the Heavenly Dao Technique long ago.
