One of my fairy-like friends

Strange...strange...this face, why does it look so familiar...have I seen her somewhere before?

Mingyan tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered.

When he went to the sacred Yaochi before, he saw the remains of the adult king in Yaochi. At that time, he had a hallucination and saw a strange yet familiar face. Yes, it was the woman who was now lying in the crystal coffin.

In an instant, Mingyan felt a strange mix of emotions: sadness, despair, and...some extremely intense feeling...What was this feeling? He seemed to have a little bit of that feeling for Ning Feixuan, but it wasn't nearly as strong as it was now. Was this love?

Wait, this isn't my feeling. Why would I have such feelings for someone who's already gone? Mingyan snapped out of his reverie, feeling a tremor in his heart. He couldn't understand it; he definitely hadn't seen her...

Mingyan suddenly noticed some reactions in his body. The bright moon phenomenon and the red sun phenomenon, which he had never used before, rose simultaneously. The sun and moon shone together, creating a certain resonance. Mingyan also noticed that the body of the woman wearing an imperial crown in the crystal coffin was also reacting. Similarly, two phenomena rose, the sun and moon shining together, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Compared to the sun and moon of the other side, Mingyan's sun and moon were like the light of fireflies, so dazzling that they were almost blinding...

But the radiance emanating from the other party gave Mingyan a gentle feeling. No matter how scorching the sun was, it seemed not to harm him... Mingyan lowered his head and looked at the woman wearing an imperial crown in the water. Now he could confirm that the woman in the crystal coffin was also a human king, and she had definitely reached the Great Perfection.

Mingyan could feel himself being summoned by something, seemingly the crowned woman in the crystal coffin. Her physical body seemed to be calling to him. Mingyan reached out and placed his hand on the water, and then felt himself rise into the air, transforming into a stream of light that passed through the crystal coffin and entered the Qi Sea of ​​this crowned woman.

Mingyan opened his eyes and found himself in an extremely vast space. He could not see the end, just like the Great Adult King Body who had entered Yaochi before. However, the difference was that the Great Adult King Body in Yaochi had exhausted its Qi Sea and could not be felt. However, Mingyan's spiritual energy activated the other party's Qi Sea after entering.

However, this King of Men's Qi Sea does not need to be activated by him. The life force inside is abundant and extremely strong, even surpassing that of the outside world. There are birds singing and flowers blooming, and fish can be seen swimming in the sea.

Mingyan walks along the beach and can find some starfish and shellfish.

This sea of ​​qi is clearly another world.

In fact, Mingyan didn't quite understand why the Qi Sea of ​​the Human King Body was like another world where one could live. He wondered if the world they lived in would one day collapse, otherwise what was the meaning of the world in the Qi Sea of ​​the Human King Body?

This world seemed to have been created to replace the one they currently inhabited...

As Mingyan walked through this small world, he felt as if he were being welcomed. The spiritual energy, birds, beasts, flowers, and plants in his dantian seemed to be welcoming him. It was as if he had returned to his own home, and this world seemed to be showing him its intimacy.

This feeling is really strange...

Why does this place feel like home to him, as if he was born here...? Yet he's an orphan left behind along the river's upper reaches, without parents...

Speaking of which, if you have the time, why not go back to Riyue Village and pay respects to the villagers and the village chief? Perhaps you could even trace the source of that river and maybe... find some clues about your parents?

If you are just like everyone else and have parents, then you might be able to find them. If you are different from everyone else and were born from a stone, then you might also be able to find them.

Mingyan walked in his Qi Sea, the sea breeze was so comfortable that he lingered there, reluctant to leave. It felt so comfortable here, many times more comfortable than outside.

He lay on the beach, looking at the sun overhead, the warm sunlight shining on him, making him feel cozy.

Are there such connections between the human and the king's bodies?

He remembered hearing Ning Mengru, the Queen Mother of the West, mention that the adult king in Yaochi was also an orphan...

If it's not a coincidence... is everyone in the Royal Body an orphan?

So, does that mean the Human King Body itself is a bloodline inheritance? If all Human King Bodies are brothers and sisters, then who are their parents?

Hmm, if this assumption is true, then wouldn't the fully grown royal body lying in Yaochi be considered my sister? Maybe she's my sister, or maybe she's some kind of ancestor.

Is the person he's encountering now, Wang Ti, also his ancestor? Or perhaps his sister, or even... is it possible that she's his mother?

Mingyan thought for a moment, then shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too far ahead. He stood up, realizing that he couldn't find anything extra to gain in this sea of ​​qi, and it was time to leave.

Chapter 105 I Love Killing in My Dreams

After Mingyan had the idea of ​​leaving, he felt that the world was reluctant to let him go, and the whole world was humming as if trying to keep him.

I didn't have this feeling before in the Qi Sea of ​​that adult king in Yaochi. It's really strange. Could I really have been born here?

But he has to leave now; he still has things to finish. Perhaps he'll come back sometime in the future?

However, it's unclear whether he can return. He seems to have entered through the "#" character he found in the center of the misty area, and it's unknown whether he can enter again in that way.

Thinking about it this way, could this be the space inside the "#" character?

If that's the case, then will there also be internal space within the "?" character?

Mingyan thought for a moment, and realized that if he could find out his own origins, he might be able to find the answers to these questions by following the clues.

It was time to leave. Mingyan looked around the space. He knew he would come back someday. He could sense that one day he would return for some reason.

As Mingyan's desire to leave grew stronger, he was sent out of his Qi Sea and back to the crystal coffin. Mingyan stood beside the crystal coffin, looking at the woman wearing an imperial crown lying inside, "I don't know what our relationship is, but I will come back... There will be a day when we meet again."

Inside the crystal coffin, the woman wearing the imperial crown showed no reaction. The sun and moon had returned to her dantian, making the place seem cold and lonely.

Ming Yan bowed and then left the tomb.

He returned to the palace where he had first appeared, and immediately felt a heaviness in his body, his eyelids became heavy, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.

When he woke up again, he found Ning Feixuan, Huang Feiyan, and his senior sister all around him. Seeing that Mingyan had woken up, Yue Qingying held Mingyan's hand and asked worriedly, "Are you alright, Mingyan?"

Mingyan sat up and shook his head. "It's nothing... How long have I been unconscious?"

"I don't know either, we just woke up not long ago." Yue Qingying shook her head. "Just now I was pulled into a dream, back to the moment my master found me..."

As she spoke, Yue Qingying smiled slightly, "It was a chance to relive some warm memories."

Huang Feiyan nodded, "When I was unconscious just now, I also dreamed about things from my childhood. It seems that I was influenced by something. I almost didn't realize that I was dreaming. It felt so real."

Ning Feixuan's expression was somewhat gloomy. She remained silent, presumably also entering a dream, but her dream did not seem to be anything good.

Upon hearing this, Mingyan raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat bewildered.

A dream? Could it be that the space I entered earlier was just a dream?

Was the crowned woman lying in the crystal coffin that I saw also someone I dreamed about?

If it was a dream, why do I remember it so clearly? And why is that face so vivid and familiar?

Why would I dream about her?

It’s weird.

"Did you find anything?" Mingyan asked.

Yue Qingying smiled and said, "Reliving my encounter with my master is my gain."

“I dreamt of the time I spent playing with my aunt when I was little. Just like Qingying said, this is my harvest.” Huang Feiyan nodded.

Mingyan thought for a moment, then took out the "#" character he had stored in his Qi Sea and placed it on the novice's palm. "I found this, but I don't know what it is."

"...? Is there something in your palm?" Yue Qingying looked down and found that Ming Yan's palm was empty, with nothing in it. She looked up, slightly puzzled.

"Huh? Isn't it right in my palm?" Mingyan looked down and saw that the "#" symbol was still lying in his palm, right there.

"...I didn't see it either, Feixuan, can you see it?" Huang Feiyan looked at Ning Feixuan, who also shook her head. "I'm afraid it has already formed some kind of connection with Mingyan, and only he can see it."

"Is that so?" Mingyan thought for a moment, then handed it to Yue Qingying. "Senior sister, see if you can hold it in your hand."

With Yue Qingying's white jade palm facing upwards, Ming Yan placed the "#" character on Yue Qingying's hand, and then the "#" passed through Yue Qingying's palm and fell to the ground.

"Senior sister, it went right through your palm." Mingyan saw this, squatted down, and picked it up. "It seems like you guys couldn't touch it either?"

"Let me try?" Huang Feiyan curiously approached, tried it, and found that she also couldn't touch the "#" symbol.

Ning Feixuan did not try. "This is your opportunity. It is probably because it has chosen you, so others cannot see or touch it at all."

"Did it choose me?" Ming Yan looked down at the "#" symbol in his palm. He didn't know what the symbol represented. "The '?" symbol could double his combat power in a short time. Could this "#" symbol also be some kind of incredibly powerful secret technique?"

Ning Feixuan nodded. "Didn't you notice? The tornadoes around us have stopped, and the fog is getting thinner and thinner. This inheritance is probably a magical inheritance involving illusions and dreams. However, I haven't heard of any related records in history. Among the ten most recent emperors, I don't seem to have heard of any similar inheritance. But how could we possibly know all the inheritances of the emperors?"

The Great Emperor would not reveal his lineage to the world. Apart from his descendants, how many people would know how many lineages the Great Emperor could possess and create in his lifetime?

“Let’s go, it’s time to leave this place. We’ve been really lucky to have encountered two inheritances on our own. I’m afraid the remaining inheritances won’t be so easy to come by,” Ning Feixuan said.

"Ah."

Even though this inheritance belongs only to Ming Yan, neither Ning Feixuan nor Huang Feiyan felt any jealousy about it, and Yue Qingying certainly didn't have any extra thoughts.

That's just how opportunities are. Often, it's not people who choose opportunities, but opportunities that choose people. So there's nothing to be jealous of, and none of the three of them are the type to be jealous.

Mingyan carefully put away the "#" and acted with the other three. After the four of them left the area, the original fog completely dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

This is indeed just an ordinary grassland terrain, which is why it has become a foggy area due to the influence of the "#" symbol.

The "#" symbol, as Ning Feixuan said, likely relates to the wondrous inheritance of ethereal things like illusions and dreams.

Mingyan thought for a moment, if dreams are involved, is it possible to eliminate someone directly in a dream? Do I enjoy killing in my dreams?

Chapter 106 An Ran's Cry for Help

Twelve days have passed since the opening of the Extreme Dao Hall. Apart from the "Star Rift" obtained by all four of them, Mingyan and his group only had the "#" obtained by Mingyan alone, and they had no other gains.

Moreover, after the tenth day, the Extreme Dao Palace seemed to have undergone some changes. Some areas were erased, and the small world within the Extreme Dao Palace seemed to be shrinking.

And this change happens every day; the further you go, the greater the probability of encountering other cultivators will likely be.

However, Mingyan and the other three were not afraid. As long as they did not encounter a powerful person like Gu Hanshuang who could kill enemies of higher levels and whose cultivation level far surpassed that of others, they would not have any problems.

Moreover, when they encountered other cultivators, seeing the four of them acting together, they would avoid them and stay away to prevent trouble.

Until they met An Canhui.

"Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Holy Maiden of Moon Shadow, Young Miss, and Fellow Daoist Mingyan, we meet again." An Canhui was not alone; he was accompanied by other members of the An family, as well as two familiar faces to Mingyan: An Ran and her maid, Yuzhu.

Mingyan was somewhat surprised. Meeting An Canhui was not unexpected, but why were An Ran and Yuzhu here?

Huang Feiyan was quite surprised. She glanced at Ming Yan, shook her head at him, and indicated that she didn't know why An Ran and Yu Zhu were here.

An Canhui had a peaceful smile and seemed approachable. His appearance was very ordinary, a world apart from An Ran's. The two should be siblings, but it was unclear why they were so different.

Mingyan still remembered how An Canhui had deliberately "praised" him to death, arousing the Little Kunpeng King's fighting spirit. Although Mingyan ultimately won, the other party's behavior still left a very bad impression on him. Mingyan narrowed his eyes; he didn't like this man very much.

Huang Feiyan nodded. "I didn't expect to meet Young Master An here. I wonder if Young Master An has gained anything?"

"To my shame, I haven't found anything. Where are the four fellow Daoists?" An Canhui didn't bring anyone closer. He always had four people with him. Besides An Ran and Yu Zhu, there were two others, both with higher cultivation levels than Ming Yan. Ming Yan guessed they were Yangling Realm cultivators. Speaking of which, Yu Zhu was also a Yangling Realm cultivator. The matter of the veil hadn't been investigated properly. Although the Huang family was domineering, they weren't so domineering as to directly capture Yu Zhu and search her soul, so the matter was delayed...

"Hmm?" Mingyan noticed that Yuzhu seemed to be giving him a look, her expression slightly anxious, as if she was... asking for help?

Mingyan was taken aback. Was she pleading for help?

Mingyan looked at Anran, whose head was down, so his expression couldn't be seen... What's going on between this master and servant?

Mingyan can now transmit his voice, and he sent a message to Huang Feiyan, "Just now, it seemed that the jade bead was asking me for help. Feiyan, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know either, let's try to find out." Huang Feiyan replied to Ming Yan through telepathy, and then asked, "Are Miss An Ran and Miss Yuzhu here too? I heard that the An family doesn't seem to like Miss An Ran very much. It seems that the rumors were just rumors after all."

An Canhui smiled faintly, "The past is not important. Now I want to bring my sister back to the An family. It's not good for her to always stay at the Huang family, is it?"
