Yin Kong chuckled, showing no sign of nervousness.

In reality, despite the immense power of this black tide, which terrified Kagome Higurashi to the point of despair, he could clearly see that these seemingly ferocious and terrifying demons were not actually of high level.

After all, only two days had passed since those two behemoths swept through the entire city of Tokyo.

Although these demons and monsters have sprung up again like mushrooms after rain, their quality is nowhere near what it used to be.

Among the demons that were attracted, the strongest were only around level 30, like the killer bear or the six-armed giant.

With Yin Kong's current attack power, even if his archery skills were poor, he could still wipe out this pile of rotten fish and shrimp by simply swinging [Ruoshui] like a stick.

However, such a scene would be rather unsightly.

More importantly, Yin Kong also wanted to know where his current limits were.

It's like when you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

After finally assembling the Nata warship, would anyone be able to resist the urge to go to the Abyss or the weekly Fire Dragon King to listen to the roar of the sun?

At least, Yin Kong couldn't do that.

"Mr. Yin Kong...?"

When Yin Kong opened his eyes again, Kagome was stunned.

Although his appearance had not changed at all, just one look in his eyes revealed a completely different temperament.

"Very well, since the traveler wishes to see it, then I will grant your wish—"

"Yin Kong" ignored Kagome Higurashi's gaze, looked down at the demons rushing towards him, and calmly said with his arms crossed:

"The heavens are moving."

While Kagome was still wondering, she heard Inuyasha exclaim in surprise again:

"Kagome, look—the sky! The sky!"

Kagome suddenly looked up, then froze completely, her mouth agape:

"Th-th-that is—"

Before their almost stunned eyes, a golden meteorite appeared in the center of the sky and began to fall with unstoppable force towards the center of the Black Tide—

Not only Higurashi Shrine, but almost the entire city's residents felt the ground beneath their feet suddenly tremble.

Of course, in Kagome's eyes, the meteorite fall was just the beginning.

Centered on the meteorite, rings of golden shockwaves swept across the entire back mountain in an instant.

All evil spirits were exposed under the dazzling golden light;

All the demons and monsters vanished into nothingness in the devastating impact.

After a few seconds, everything returned to calm, and the vast black tide that had once filled the girl with utter despair had vanished without a trace.

"This, this, this..."

Looking at the "completely transformed" back mountain, the young man and woman were so overwhelmed with shock that they completely forgot to speak.

However, even for Yin Kong himself, this was the first time he had witnessed the "Tianxing" falling, and the shock he felt was unimaginable.

Of course, in addition to being shocked, Yin Kong was also pleasantly surprised to find that Zhongli's attack came with an unexpected "gift".

This time, he didn't encounter the monsters from events or quests.

In other words, these hundreds or thousands of demons will all drop experience and materials normally.

The notifications for experience and Mora drops flooded the bottom left corner of the system feed like a waterfall.

Yin Kong didn't know how much experience he had gained in this wave, but both he, who was at the forefront, and Wan Ye and Xiao Lu, who were placed in the back of the team, all leveled up to level 20.

Not only that, but the Mora balance in my backpack suddenly increased by at least 100,000!

In addition, the back mountain of Higurashi Shrine is covered with all sorts of strangely shaped, glowing objects that have fallen there.

"This is really——"

Based on in-game experience, leveling up characters in Genshin Impact basically relies on Mora and experience books.

As for the experience gained from fighting monsters, it's not that it's completely nonexistent, but it's basically better than nothing.

Yin Kong never expected that the real world, teeming with demons and monsters, could yield such unexpected benefits.

Although his move attracted almost all the demons around Higurashi Shrine, given Beika Town's insane monster-farming speed, wouldn't he be able to continuously harvest massive amounts of Mora and experience simply by taking the Shikon Jewel fragments and wandering around the town a few times after a while?

"Miss Kagome, may I take a look at this fragment of the Shikon Jewel?"

"Huh? Oh."

Hearing Yin Kong's question, Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha finally came to their senses.

Without any hesitation, the girl handed over the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as I obtained the Shikon Jewel fragments, another task popped up from the system.

[A Thousand-Year Wish]:

Once the Traveler successfully collects all the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, they will receive a Destiny Star for any character they already own.

On this basis, if you successfully purify the Shikon Jewel, you will receive an additional [Destiny Star] for an existing character (which can be stacked with the former).

It's a Destiny Star?

Such a reward naturally made Yin Kong extremely envious.

After all, which of those powerful characters in the later stages wasn't a typical constellation warrior?

Unfortunately, based on the test just now, even if he now obtains a fully upgraded Elite 5 [Ruoshui], his combat power is probably only equivalent to those properly trained, level 50 or 60 AU characters.

Of course, if you were to invite the Rock Lord to possess you, your combat power would likely surge, making you comparable to characters at level 70 or even 80.

Unfortunately, eating, Kryptonite, and other unconventional methods are forbidden in the Spiral Abyss, so Yin Kong can probably only bring Xiangling and Cole back to the Rabbit House today.

As for breaking through the abyss, that's still a very distant prospect.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"

Just as Yin Kong was planning to collect the rewards from the first few levels of the Abyss, he discovered that Inuyasha had sneaked up behind him, sniffing something.

"Are you... really human?"

Inuyasha stared at Yin Kong in disbelief. In his mind, Kikyo was practically the ceiling of human combat power.

The purifying arrows shot by this priestess are so powerful that even legendary monsters have to avoid their edge.

Even so, it was still far less awe-inspiring than Yin Kong's "Heaven and Earth in Motion".

When did humans become so outrageous?

Chapter 101 The Trap of the Shikon Jewel

"Are you... really human?"

Upon hearing this question, Kagome Higurashi nodded subconsciously.

Let alone humans, even monsters, having only returned to the Warring States period two days ago, haven't had a chance to encounter such powerful monsters yet.

"Of course, at least for now."

Yin Kong smiled slightly and found that without him reminding her, A Ren had already thoughtfully run to the back mountain to collect the fallen materials scattered all over the ground.

"However, neither of you need to underestimate yourselves. The power contained within you is not necessarily inferior to mine. If you can make good use of it, it is not impossible for you to do similar things."

Kagome Higurashi, naturally, replied modestly:

"Mr. Yin Kong, you're exaggerating too much. I would be perfectly satisfied if I were even half as good as you were just now, no, one-tenth as good."

In contrast, Inuyasha, true to his reputation as a hot-blooded idiot as Shinobu had declared, immediately declared with high spirits:

"That's right. As long as I use the Shikon Jewel to become a real youkai, I can definitely do that with ease."

"Inuyasha, where does your confidence come from...?"

Seeing Inuyasha's incredibly smug look, Kagome Higurashi couldn't help but cover her forehead, looking completely unable to bear to watch.

"No, if it is the complete Shikon Jewel, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it possesses such power."

Yin Kong gently shook his head and held the fragment of the Shikon Jewel up to his eyes to examine it closely.

Although it was just a small fragment, with Zhongli's knowledge and insight, even if it was just a glimpse, he was able to deduce the appearance and approximate power of the complete Shikon Jewel.

Therefore, Yin Kong also offered a reminder:

"However, Inuyasha, I do not recommend that you do this."

If it were before, Inuyasha would have scoffed and dismissed anyone's advice.

But now, he asked with a look of curiosity:

"Hey, why?"

Yin Kong did not answer directly, but instead asked in return:

"Gentlemen, how much do you know about the origin and effects of the Shikon Jewel?"

After exchanging a glance, Kagome hesitated before saying:

"All I know is that the Shikon Jewel is a treasure that the priestess Kikyo once guarded. It possesses incredible power, can enhance the strength of yokai, and is said to have the ability to grant any wish."

Does Mr. Yin Kong mean that there's a problem with the Shikon Jewel?

Yin Kong nodded slightly:

"I can sense that there is a righteous and an evil force within this fragment, and two consciousnesses and powers are engaged in a life-or-death battle."

That pure power is very similar to the power within Kagome's body; it must be the priestess's spiritual power. It seems to want to completely annihilate the Shikon Jewel and end everything. The evil power, on the other hand, is very similar to Inuyasha's demonic power. It doesn't want the Shikon Jewel to disappear; instead, it craves people and demons to continuously use its power.

Because in this way, they can, in turn, devour the user's desires and soul, become powerful, and even break free from the Shikon Jewel's restraints, returning to this world.

"How could this be?"

The clever Kagome had already understood the meaning behind Yin Kong's words:

"Using the power of the Shikon Jewel will only strengthen the evil consciousness within it. No wonder that even when facing death, the priestess Kikyo refused to use the Shikon Jewel to prolong her life—"

Wait a minute, so the reason the Shikon Jewel shattered into countless pieces and scattered in various places, could it also be due to the evil spirit within it?

Yin Kong nodded approvingly:

"Probably."

Seeing that Inuyasha was still somewhat confused, Kagome Higurashi explained in more straightforward terms:

"Inuyasha, if you use the Shikon Jewel to become a demon, you will be completely controlled by its power and become a puppet of the Shikon Jewel."

"Hmph, for most demons, if they can gain great power, becoming a puppet is no big deal." Inuyasha first snorted, but still chose to thank him. "However, for me, it would be better to die. Thank you."

Kagome Higurashi exclaimed in surprise:

"It's really rare to hear a genuine thank you from Inuyasha."

"Nonsense." Inuyasha, naturally indignant, retorted, "I'm just a dog demon, not an ingrate. Besides, my mother taught me long ago that I should sincerely thank people when they do me a favor..."

When Kagome and Inuyasha returned to the shrine, they naturally had a lot of questions to ask.

After all, while ordinary people could not see the black tide formed by the gathering of demons, they could see the golden meteorite falling from the sky very clearly.

This time, however, Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha understood Yin Kong's concerns and did not explain too much to the curious crowd. They simply expressed their intention to take a year off from school and devote all their energy to the Sengoku period.

As for Yin Kong, he naturally challenged the Spiral Abyss at the Well of Bones.

To his slight surprise, the monsters in the Spiral Abyss were not only all bizarrely shaped demons, but there were also a great many of them.

It was at least ten times more than Yin Kong remembered.

Fortunately, the stats provided by the Elite 5 [Ruoshui] were strong enough, and his skills were far superior to what they used to be. Although he stumbled a bit, he still managed to clear the first four floors of the [Spiral Abyss].

Unfortunately, starting from the fifth floor, the Spiral Abyss requires two teams, one for the upper half and one for the lower half.

Although Yin Kong felt a little regretful, he also understood the principle that haste makes waste, so he chose to stop while he was ahead.

After resolving numerous matters, he arranged a time with Kagome Higurashi and chose to take his leave.

"As expected, miHoYo is still the same miHoYo."

Originally, Yin Kong planned to raise Xiangling and Kelai's levels to level 20 before taking them back to the Rabbit House.
