Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

"Master, there are so many mountains and forests, it seems like there's no end in sight."

"The Ten Thousand Mountains...hehe..."

ear.

Miao He and Yao Lizi's voices rang out.

Song Yu rode the wind, maintaining communication with the communication device beside him, and the image remained constantly displayed.

The sun was high overhead; it was already noon.

"Since this small world was once part of the cultivation world..."

Song Yu asked, "Senior, do you know which region of the cultivation world this small world once belonged to?"

Upon hearing this...

Miaohe looked at her master with curiosity.

After pondering for a moment, Yao Lizi shook his head slightly and said, "I have only been cultivating for three hundred years, and I know very little about the cultivation world a thousand years ago."

"However, it is certain that the cultivation world was once vast and boundless."

"Nowadays, there are thirty-three major heavens, and each of them is connected to thirty-three minor heavens. According to this calculation, after the original cultivation world collapsed, it was scattered into 1089 minor heavens."

"Once, a Nascent Soul cultivator ventured into a small world and spent a hundred years, but still failed to see the size of that small world."

"Such a small world divided into 1089 pieces—one can only imagine how vast it is, one can only imagine..."

"That great war a thousand years ago was so..."

"horrible..."

That's very big.

Even a True Immortal of the Primordial Spirit couldn't see the entirety of a small world in a hundred years...

Song Yu looked once again at the boundless mountains and forests before him.

and so.

Is this little world really that big?

In short, it shouldn't be small.

He was very glad that he hadn't wandered around at the beginning and lost track of the coordinates of the three evil creatures and the Tongtian Well. Otherwise, he would have been lost in this small world, and it would have been a long time before he could get out.

"but."

After sighing, Yao Lizi changed the subject, saying, "Empress and Spirit Lord, those two might know some information about the small world."

"After all, the fact that they dare to dump trouble here probably means they're not worried about anyone finding this place."

"There have been many anglers in the Taixu Realm for hundreds of years, but no one has ever discovered this little world and fished here."

"The reason I know this place and am fishing here is because I was searching for the Dragon Yang Sword; it was by chance that I found out."

The words were spoken.

Miaohe asked with great curiosity, "Master, what is it you want for the Dragon Yang Sword?"

Oh, this.

Yao Lizi glanced at his disciple with a kind look in his eyes and smiled, "You'll understand later."

Miaohe sat cross-legged on the recliner and snorted, "Master is stingy."

The drug ion shook its head with a laugh.

Song Yu did not disturb them. After listening to the conversation between the master and disciple for a long time, he arrived at a distance of about a thousand meters from the Dragon Yang Sword.

"arrive."

He stood suspended in mid-air, slowly exhaling.

"It really is the Dragon Yang Sword."

Through the telepathic device, Yao Lizi saw a sword stuck in a stone on a mountaintop a kilometer away, and his eyes sharpened slightly.

Miaohe was eating fruit in her hand when she looked on curiously, and she even zoomed in on the scene to see everything clearly.

"Young friend, go ahead."

Yao Lizi steadied himself and said firmly, "The Dragon Scale Mirror can protect you, and I will also be here to help you and ensure your safety."

Song Yu wasn't in a hurry. He took out a bottle of water, took a sip, and slowly said, "Since you have the Dragon Scale Mirror, why did you try to pass on your teachings to me yesterday, borrowing my body?"

Yao Lizi said helplessly, "Young friend, you are indeed cautious. Yesterday, I was just worried too."

"Young friend, your appearance in this small world could be that of a senior cultivator from a thousand years ago, or it could be the manifestation of a demon that has escaped its confinement."

"I will certainly be cautious."

"Moreover, compared to the Dragon Scale Mirror, I am more confident in going there myself."

"Young friend, you are cautious and do not trust me. But I am also wary of your background."

"The creatures in this small world...are quite rare..."

Makes sense.

After finishing his water, Song Yu toyed with the dragon scale mirror in his hand, his tone playful: "So, senior, you trust me now and are at ease with me?"

Yao Lizi calmly replied, "Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. I have no choice, and neither do you, young friend."

Yes, there was no other choice.

Song Yu smiled and shook his head, saying no more. Holding the Dragon Scale Mirror, he simply set off to approach the Dragon Yang Sword on the mountaintop.

"People...are...coming...good...good...good..."

A gust of wind carried the voice of the Ghost King.

"That Netherworld Ghost King truly lives up to its reputation as an evil creature from a hundred years ago."

The drug ion once again sighed.

"What a cold voice."

Miao He blinked lightly and said, "Qin Shi Huang, you must be careful."

Song Yu paused, then coughed slightly.

The name Qin Shi Huang...

cough...

It's a little embarrassing to be addressed like that...

"hehe."

The drug ion seemed to see through him and laughed out loud.

He tried to calculate the meaning of such an overbearing title last night, but couldn't figure it out at all.

I searched through ancient cultivation texts from a thousand years ago, but I couldn't find anyone with such a name.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be unknown, given how domineering they are.

But the problem is that they know absolutely nothing about it.

It seems this young friend has a truly extraordinary background...

It was just a minor incident.

soon.

Song Yu then arrived at the mountain peak where the Longyang Sword was located, only a hundred meters away from the stone where the Longyang Sword was stuck.

Let's take a closer look.

The stone was a stone tablet with incomprehensible patterns carved on it, along with the words "Dragon Back Stone" and numerous cracks.

"Human, you have arrived."

The voice of the Netherworld King became much clearer in his ears, calmly saying, "Good, good that you've come."

"Human, this is my 'life spirit.' Take it in, and you will be my master. My life and death will be in your hands."

In conversation.

Within the cracks in the stone tablet, specks of spiritual light emerged, gathered together, and finally transformed into a ball of spiritual light that floated there, waiting.

"Just help me get out of this predicament."

The Netherworld King slowly asked, "Humans, how are you?"

A gentle breeze accompanied him, enveloping the ball of spiritual light as it arrived before Song Yu.

"This thing is indeed the Ghost King's natal spirit."

After some calculation, Yao Lizi nodded and said, "However, the Ghost King... is born to devour its master..."

"A thousand years ago, when the cultivation world collapsed, the Netherworld Ghost King was born. He ravaged the Great Void for a thousand years until he was sealed by Jade Spirit Venerable with the Dragon Yang Sword a hundred years ago."

"The Dragon Yang Sword was forged by slaying a demonic dragon. Although the dragon died, it remained resentful, causing the Dragon Yang Sword to also devour its master."

"With two such evil creatures that would devour their master, how could Jade Spirit Venerable withstand them? Naturally, he had to discard them."

It turned out to be the case.

Song Yu understood immediately and laughed, "So, if I really agree to the Ghost King's recognition of its master, I will surely die; if I don't agree, nothing will happen."

Yao Lizi smiled and said, "Not bad."

Miaohe ate her fruit, blinked, and said expressionlessly, "How scary."

There's no need to be so polite.

Song Yu simply raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and said in a deep voice, "Approach!"

The words were spoken.

The phantom of Leifeng Pagoda appeared and crashed down upon the ball of spiritual light before them.

It happened suddenly, and very quickly.

As for the results...

"Ahhh..."

The Ghost King of the Underworld let out a mournful scream.

The natal spiritual light was shattered by the Leifeng Pagoda, and then all of it rolled back and disappeared into the cracks in the stone tablet.

"A good tactic."

Seeing this, Yao Lizi said regretfully, "Unfortunately, a natal spirit is not so easy to destroy. There is only one way to destroy a spirit, and that is to accept the natal spirit's recognition as its master."

"Aside from that, other methods at most only cause more pain."

Tsk.

Although they had anticipated that the Netherworld Ghost King would dare to send his natal spirit like this, unafraid of being destroyed, they hadn't expected it to be this absolute.

Song Yu glanced regretfully at the slowly dissipating phantom of Leifeng Pagoda, and began to recover the depleted magical power within his body.

With his current level of True Qi cultivation, the magical power he generates can only make Leifeng Pagoda manifest for that one instant.

That's all I can do.

"Huff, huff, ha, ha, ha..."

"Very well, a hundred years have passed. I have finally experienced pain again, which has made me a little more sober."

The Netherworld King, panting, laughed loudly: "Human, you are very good. You are the second person who can harm my life spirit."

"And that old man, you know quite a bit about him too."

"That's a pity."

Unfortunately, they couldn't escape their predicament this way.

Song Yu remained unmoved and casually asked, "Senior, what should we do next?"

Yao Lizi pondered, "That dragon back stone is the key to the seal. Judging from the cracks, the Dragon Yang Sword and this Ghost King have tried to break the seal many times over the past hundred years."

"Attempting to break the seal will inevitably result in significant losses, and given that the seal has lasted for a hundred years, this Ghost King's strength has likely declined even more severely."

well.

The Netherworld Ghost King chuckled and said, "Old man, you were right. So, what's your purpose?"

"Tell me, and maybe we can make a deal."

Ignored it.

Yao Lizi frowned and calculated for a moment, then suddenly said, "No, run!"

No hesitation.

Song Yu decisively turned and ran, raised his hand to form a hand seal, uttered the mantra "Go", and his figure immediately soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the distance under the cover of spiritual wind.

period.

The elusive Xuan Guang bird, which had been hovering around him, grabbed his shoulder and flapped its wings vigorously.

The ghost dog, carrying his belongings and carried by a spirit wind, stayed with him the whole time.

And behind him.

As the Netherworld Ghost King's loud laughter rang out, the Dragon Back Stone shattered completely, and the Dragon Yang Sword roared as it soared into the sky.

Within the Dragon Yang Sword, crimson ghost fire emerged, coalesced, and transformed into a red figure.

It was the outline of a human body, but the whole thing was ten meters tall. It had a ferocious face, two horns on its head, and its skin was crimson. Crimson ghost flames swirled around its body.

"After a century, I am finally free."

The Ghost King "Suiji" laughed loudly, his laughter incredibly joyful: "Human boy, you are very good, very good indeed."

Smiling.

Chongji looked at the rapidly departing figure, stretched leisurely, and strolled forward, saying, "It's great that you have the ability to harm my natal spirit."

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid you're powerless to harm my life spirit, and you can't hurt the resentment of the Dragon Yang Sword that I've deliberately hidden within my life spirit."

"I originally intended to acknowledge you as my master and use the power of 'devouring the master' to stimulate the awakening of this sword's intent, but I miscalculated and was exposed by that old man."

"Hehe, it's alright."

"Fortunately, your move was quite good; it actually stimulated the sword intent of this sword, even if only for a moment, it was enough."

"It seems that my decision to secretly guide you to take action was the right one."

"Kid, you really are no ordinary person."

Speaking of it.

With a casual grab, Chongji drew a large amount of energy from the forest below, swallowed it, and looked satisfied.

The forests below lost their vitality, withering away at a visible rate, filled with a deathly atmosphere.

"It tastes good."

Chongji savored the memory, then said with satisfaction, "Human boy, that old man was right."

"The Dragon Yang Sword devours its master because although the demonic dragon is dead, its resentment remains and transforms into sword intent. Anyone who touches the Dragon Yang Sword, or is the master of the Dragon Yang Sword, will suffer the backlash from this sword."

"For the past hundred years, only when the winds of disaster rage will the sword intent on the Longyang Sword be awakened, and it will fight against the Dragon Back Stone, causing the Dragon Back Stone to have another crack."

"After that, the Dragon Yang Sword will fall into slumber once more."

"After a hundred years, the Dragon Back Stone could no longer withstand the resistance of the Dragon Yang Sword. It was just one last blow away from completely breaking through that damned stone."

Speaking of it.

Chongji exclaimed, "Human boy, you've come at just the right time, you've come at the perfect moment!"

"In another half month, when the disaster winds rage and the Dragon Yang Sword awakens again, my true spirit will be completely obliterated."

"It's you, thanks to you."

"You arrived a step ahead of me, helping me to awaken the Dragon Yang Sword again, completely breaking through the Dragon Back Stone and helping me escape."

"So, I don't mind letting you live a little longer and telling you the reasons behind it all, so you can die knowing the truth."

"I should thank you properly, so when you die, I will refine you into my Asura body, so that you can stay with me forever, so that I can remember you day and night."

"Ah~ human boy, I think I've fallen in love with you."

"..."

The King of the Underworld began to go mad.

Song Yu remained unmoved, carefully recalling the moment he had attacked his natal spirit.

At that moment, he did have a strong impulse.

Then, they took action.

It seems that the inexplicable impulse was the result of the Netherworld Ghost King's secret guidance.

These demons and monsters are really...

It's impossible to guard against...

Only when someone is dead, completely and utterly dead, can people feel at ease...

"Spiritual medium, stop loving now."

The voice of the inner demon rang in my ears: "Hurry up and help me break free...!"

Chongji picked at his ear and said casually, "It's so noisy. I can help you get out of trouble, but this kid is mine."

The inner demon said urgently, "I know, I know, the boy's soul is yours, I want his body."

"Hurry up, don't forget, you can't get through the disaster wind without me."

"Oh, and that little brat too."

"..."

The inner demons rage endlessly.

The spirit medium, its expression showing impatience, ascended into the air and said, "I know, I know, you're so noisy, shut up and come out."

As he spoke, the blood energy in his hand coalesced into a long spear.

With a flick of his wrist, the spear pierced the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and hurtled straight towards the location of Yunlai Temple.

all of these.

Song Yu saw this but remained expressionless, only silently clenching his fist.

"There will be an opportunity..."

He muttered to himself, paused, and then did some calculations with his fingers.

Then, they headed straight for the location of the demon fetus.

Traveling back in time?

That was his last resort; he wouldn't use it unless he was in a life-or-death situation.

A quick calculation reveals that the path to survival lies in the south, with the demon fetus.

Since that's the case, he decided to go and take a look; otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to leave so dejectedly.

If I'm not afraid of death, what's there to fear from demons and monsters?

Think it through.

He headed straight for the location of the demon fetus without looking back, his face expressionless.

In the psychic device's display.

Miaohe hugged her knees, her eyes wide with curiosity, and said, "That evil thing has broken free! How dangerous! Qin Shihuang, run quickly to the well!"

He spoke of danger, but there was no fear or worry in his expression, only curiosity and indifference.

"That's enough."

Yao Lizi sighed, "Young friend, hurry to the wellhead, I'll pull you up."

He swore an oath with his Daoist heart to protect this child.

He did not lie about this, and it is indeed something that cannot be violated; otherwise, the calamity would truly come to pass.

In this regard.

Song Yu remained silent. Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Celestial Master's Divine Intent activated its Heavenly Eye, constantly monitoring the movements of the Netherworld Ghost King behind him.

In sight.

After throwing his spear, the Ghost King of the Underworld smiled menacingly and said in a gentle tone, "Boy, you've run away enough. Now it's my turn."

"If I catch up with you, then..."

Suddenly.

The Netherworld Ghost King flashed and appeared a hundred meters behind Song Yu, grinning maliciously as he continued, "Dead..."

Eight Gates Escape Formation, Hasten As the Law Commands!

Song Yu decisively made a hand seal, activating an Eight Gates Escape Talisman with his magic power.

next moment.

His figure vanished into thin air, reappearing a thousand meters away on the other side, and remained invisible as he continued toward the land of the demon fetus.

By the side.

The dazzling bird, the ghost dog, the package, and the psychic device all became invisible.

Behind.

The Ghost King of the Underworld grasped at empty air.

"what?"

"interesting."

The spirit medium looked around with great interest and said, "Invisibility, teleportation?"

"Good lad, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

"What exactly is their origin, and where did they get these methods from? Heh, interesting."

The words were spoken.

The spirit casually ripped open its chest, revealing a crack in which one of its blood-red eyes moved.

"Got you?"

The spirit medium moved again, chasing after them once more, and reached out to grab them.

"roar!"

The Taiyi amulet was activated, and a spirit lion appeared, its mouth emitting Samadhi True Fire.

"hiss!"

The spirit felt pain, but its expression hardened, and it gripped down forcefully with its hand.

"You monster, be careful, don't damage my body."

The inner demon roared.

Ignoring the spirit medium, he tried to grab the spirit lion with his bare hands, but once again he missed.

Song Yu's figure disappeared again, reappearing a thousand meters away, and continued to fly stealthily.

"Okay, okay."

The spirit medium grinned maliciously, "Boy, since you want to play, then let's have a good game of cat and mouse."

"I'd like to see what you're struggling for."

After a while.

Six of the eighteen Taiyi protective talismans on Song Yu's body were missing, completely destroyed, and could no longer be used.

The six cards that are missing are all unupgraded.

acceptable.

"Such strength is merely at the Spirit Opening stage..."

Yao Lizi pondered, "It seems that the Ghost King's strength has fallen to its limit, and he may only have one breath left."

"Young friend, your skills are quite remarkable, and you seem to have quite a few life-saving items on you."

"But where are you headed, young friend?"

Song Yu remained silent.

Miaohe was curious.

The voice of the Netherworld Ghost King rang out: "Interesting, boy. Why do you want to go to that land of the demonic embryo?"

At this juncture.

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Hahaha, I'm finally free!"

The inner demon laughed wildly, and azure smoke rose from the distant horizon, transforming into a gigantic azure human head that looked down upon the world, its voice booming like thunder: "Qingyunzi, you've imprisoned me for a hundred years, so what?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Boy, you truly are my lucky star."

"Come, come, don't worry, I will cherish your body and treat it well."

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha..."

The inner demon's voice was frantic.

The wisp of green smoke and the human head burst through the air, filled with eagerness.

The situation has become extremely dangerous.

"Young friend, your escape technique is too slow."

Yao Lizi spoke again, "I don't know what you want to do, but I can teach you a method that will allow you to temporarily borrow the power of the Dragon Scale Mirror. Listen carefully..."

Song Yu didn't listen; he turned off the sound of the communication device, leaving only the visuals.

Even though the other party had sworn an oath with a sincere heart, and the "scripture" proved that such an oath would indeed come true, he still did not trust the other party.

A cautionary tale of inner demons.

In this unfamiliar place, it's better to trust yourself than others.

ear.

The demonic fetus's voice rang out: "Father... Father..."

coming.

Father is coming.

I hope you can really help your father, otherwise, your father won't accept you as his son...

Song Yu summoned the energy of the pill from afar, quickly replenishing his own mana and continuously activating the Eight Gates Escape Talisman, allowing the Taiyi Protective Talisman on his body to be repeatedly crushed.

It's only a hundred miles away.

Almost there...
