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

"It is already extremely difficult to survive for tens of thousands of years, and to be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation is already a fortunate thing." Chen Ming nodded slightly, relieved.

"Master, the Ancestor has just told me about the exit passage, and also revealed the origin of that giant golden chest."

Mo Jiao came to Chen Ming's side and said softly.

"Oh?"

Chen Ming's eyes lit up.

The reason he came to the stone hall was for that giant golden chest. Although the process was a bit bumpy, it finally came into his hands!

"Collect the demon core first, then leave!"

Chen Ming said decisively.

The human and the demon returned to the stone chamber and swept away all the demon cores inside.

Chen Ming did a quick accounting.

A total of 132 demon cores were discovered, of which a large number were level 5 demon cores, accounting for a full 82.

Secondly, there are level six and seven demon cores.

The total number is thirty-eight.

As for demon cores of level eight and above, that is, Nascent Soul level, there are a total of eleven.

The last remaining demon core was the Nascent Soul level demon core of the Ink Dragon Ancestor!

"These demon cores are actually the accumulation of the Ink Dragon Clan over countless years. Now they have all been transformed into resources, just to help future generations of the bloodline."

Chen Ming sighed softly.

A great war wiped out a tribe, and years of accumulation vanished.

If it weren't for his accidental stumble.

It's likely that the demon cores of the entire stone chamber will eventually vanish into nothingness.

"You may use these demon cores as you wish, but it is best to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage before using the demon cores at the Nascent Soul level, so that you can better break through the bottleneck."

Mo Jiao, standing to the side, assumed that Chen Ming was pondering how to deal with these demon cores.

"I know, but this is, after all, a legacy from your clan. You should take half of these demon cores as well." Chen Ming smiled slightly and took out half of the demon cores below level eight.

He needed demon cores mainly to improve his cultivation, but his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation didn't require so many demon cores.

Give half to the Ink Dragon so that it can quickly break through its cultivation level.

As for cultivation after Core Formation.

Once we get to the Chaotic Star Sea, will we still have to worry about not having demon cores?

"Thank you, Master."

A look of joy flashed in the black dragon's eyes, and it happily accepted the demon core.

The spirit contract is led by Chen Ming, but that doesn't mean it lacks independent thought.

With these demon cores...

It's only a matter of time before it becomes a level 5 monster!

"Let's go take a look at that golden chest."

Chen Ming waved his hand and stepped on the head of the black dragon.

"Yes, Master!"

The black dragon roared and swam its entire body toward the surface of the lake.

The dragon race is naturally averse to water. As for Chen Ming, the reason he can use it so freely even at the bottom of the lake is entirely due to the water-avoiding secret technique that comes with the 'Earth Lava Fire'.

After all, it's in Cuishan Lake.

Water avoidance is arguably a secret technique that every Qi cultivator must learn!

call out.

We rode the dragon for a long time, and soon...

Chen Ming then arrived at the edge of this world, where spiritual light flickered and a staircase passage faintly appeared.

Besides.

Near the aura, a giant golden chest floated quietly to the side.

"Master, the box is said to contain the relics of our ancestor, including the restriction tokens for the entire forbidden area. However, these can only be truly mastered after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, there are several cultivation techniques and some supernatural secrets left behind by our ancestor."

Mo Jiao led Chen Ming to the vicinity of the box and quietly explained to Chen Ming the contents and origin of the box.

"open!"

Chen Ming nodded slightly, then suddenly exerted force with one arm.

Although the box isolates divine sense and some spatial power, it has no effect on the physical body and can be opened as easily as a worldly storage box.

Wow.

The box was opened.

The first thing that caught his eye was a wooden token, which should be the restriction token that Mo Jiao had mentioned. Chen Ming only glanced at it before continuing to look down.

Below the token were several books and some jade slips. The books had covers, and just by looking at the names on the covers, Chen Ming could roughly understand what they contained.

These are all esoteric techniques or formulas and talismans passed down through generations, and are basically used to assist in cultivation.

As for the jade slip...

Chen Ming reached into the box and took out a jade slip, slowly channeling his divine sense into it.

Instantly.

A wealth of information then flooded his mind.

"The pinnacle of wood-elemental cultivation techniques."

Chen Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

There were eight jade slips inside the treasure chest. If it was really as he thought, they were probably related to the most common spiritual root aptitudes in the cultivation world today.

The Five Elements: Wind, Thunder, and Ice!

as predicted.

After Chen Ming examined the remaining jade slips, he found that they contained various top-tier cultivation techniques with different attributes.

Each of these cultivation techniques has thirteen levels, and all can be cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

"It's better than the top-tier metal-attribute cultivation technique of Yellow Maple Valley. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can switch to cultivating this technique."

Chen Ming looked at a jade slip, which contained the top-tier cultivation techniques of the metal element.

The technique is called "Golden Axe Summoning Spirit Technique," and it comes with a variety of secret arts and supernatural powers, making it a top-tier technique.

of course.

It is naturally not as good as the Qingyuan Sword Technique created by the genius Qingyuanzi, but it should be considered quite good in the human world.

"Qing Yuanzi is, after all, a prodigy, and a genius who ascended to immortality in the declining human realm. It's normal for the cultivation techniques he created to be more powerful."

Chen Ming didn't seem to care much about the difference between the two techniques.

After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators are extremely rare in the human realm, so it's quite normal for top-tier cultivation techniques to be lost.

Not everyone is the protagonist.

It's already very good to have a normal top-tier cultivation technique to practice.

Moreover, with the Twin Jade Body in hand, he has no need to worry about switching cultivation methods in the future.

Put the jade slip down.

The golden box contained very little else; there were only two ancient treasures left, not very powerful, but enough for those in the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages.

Most of the real treasures are still kept in the high tower at the center of the forbidden area.

"For me, this box is actually more valuable. It can isolate divine sense and other things, and it is likely to be able to hide from external inspections. It is perfect for concealing some spiritual medicines and demon cores."

Chen Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

He harvested too many demon cores this time, and he was using the most basic kind of storage bag, which had virtually no strong restrictions.

If there were a Core Formation cultivator outside with special abilities, their demon core might be exposed.

But now we have this giant golden chest.

The probability of exposure is naturally much lower.

"Let's go, get out!"

Chen Ming placed all the demon cores and harvested spiritual herbs into the giant golden chest and said softly, looking at the faintly visible passage.

"Yes, Master!"

The black dragon nodded slightly, then flicked its tail and plunged straight into the spiritual light.

This is the exit left by the owner of the forbidden area, so there is naturally no danger.

The two flew in without any hindrance.
