Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Gu Yang walked on the stone pavement of Nanliu City, his feet felt as if they were filled with lead and seemed extremely heavy.

The scorching sun above was burning the earth like a furnace, and the air was filled with an indescribable impatience.

Sweat slid down his forehead and soaked the back of his shirt.

This sect uniform is indeed comfortable to wear in Tianyi Sect, but Nanliu City is probably in the tropics and it is really too hot.

These are two completely different places, and the surrounding cultural environments are also quite different.

He took out a book from his storage ring, fanned himself with it, as if seeking a bit of cool comfort in the heat.

His eyes swept across the busy street. Everyone was in a hurry, as if something was urging them.

Everything in this city seems so impatient, and it feels like life is at a fast pace.

Hu Qing also poked his head out from his dantian and quietly observed his surroundings.

This seems to be the Shengxing gang. I've seen several groups of passers-by with tattoos.

The overall level of the cultivators is quite high, and there are no less than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Of course, it is also possible that they were attracted by the Nanliu Secret Realm.

Now both of them are looking for a place to get information, and take a break to look at the scroll left by Elder Han.

Gu Yang's gaze finally fell in front of a restaurant, and the aroma of barbecue there made his stomach begin to protest.

There were two iron poles standing next to the door, with the skewered meat slices sizzling under the charcoal fire.

The grease drips and the flames jump, emitting an enticing aroma.

The guy next to him was very skilled. His knife flew across the meat, cutting slices of the grilled meat and placing them on the plate.

Then he rotated the meat column and continued to wait for the meat to be cooked before cutting it.

This method was something the two of them had never seen before and should be a local characteristic.

"This is it. You've finally come here, you must eat something!" Hu Qing encouraged in Dantian.

"Okay, this one then!"

Gu Yang pushed open the door of the restaurant, and a cool breeze blew towards him, making him feel a little comfortable.

The restaurant was almost full, but it wasn't as stuffy as expected. It must be because of some formations set up.

Gu Yang found a seat in a corner and sat down, ordering a barbecue and a local pancake.

The barbecue is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pancakes are crispy and delicious. Every bite is an ultimate tease for your taste buds.

Hu Qing was screaming anxiously in his dantian, but he didn't dare to show his head.

When I spread my spiritual consciousness just now, I have discovered several powerful Yuanying stage masters.

This restaurant must be selling fine wines, and the aroma of wine in the air is a variety I have never tasted before.

This should be a local specialty drink. Hu Qing was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, but he couldn't drink it.

Gu Yang doesn't drink much when he eats alone, so he can only let Hu Qinggan watch him.

While tasting the food, he observed the surrounding environment.

The restaurant was bustling with people, and everyone was talking about the same topic - the secret realm of Nanliu.

It seems that this is indeed a top event in Nanliu City, but I can't make sense of it just by listening to what others say.

So he stopped the waiter who was serving the food and asked about the news about the secret realm of Nanliu.

A hint of surprise flashed across the guy's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by enthusiasm.

"Sir, I'm just a waiter. If you want to know more, you have to go to Nanliu River outside the city. There are special monks there to guide you."

Only then did Gu Yang let him go. It seemed that he still had to rely on the information provided by Elder Han.

Gu Yang felt a little more relaxed. He took out the scroll from the storage ring, opened it, and read it word by word.

Hu Qing also released his spiritual consciousness and looked at it together. The writing on the scroll was very detailed.

There are two major families in Nanliu City - the Wang family and the Fang family. They are the top forces in Nanliu City and control some mineral and medicine businesses.

Behind the two major families should be ancestors who are in the late or even peak stage of Duanchen. Try not to have friction with them.

As for the City Lord’s Mansion of Nanliu City, there is no need to pay attention to it. After all, the City Lord is a position that is rotated between their two major families.

As for the third-party forces, they are gangs. Gangs of all sizes have made the entire Nanliu City a mixed bag.

The Wang and Fang families sent out experts to try to encircle and suppress the gang, but they were all injured by the concentrated fire of all the gangs.

These gangs would have frictions of varying degrees in normal times, but once the other two gangs were about to take action, they would immediately unite.

The largest gang is the Golden Feather Gang, which usually leads all gangs and has an eagle tattooed on its neck.

Their boss Guo Jianglong is from the early stage of Duan Chen. He is decisive in killing and should be avoided as much as possible.

The Nanliu Secret Realm is located on the Nanliu River outside Nanliu City. It is usually shielded by a formation, and the formation will only be opened during the spiritual energy tide once every three years.

At that time, it will be dominated by two major families, and only those below the Nascent Soul stage can enter.

As usual, the aura tide will only appear after the sun sets, so don't miss the time.

Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay for those below the Nascent Soul stage to enter, and the highest was at the peak of the Core Formation stage, which was enough to fight.

There is still time. It is only afternoon now and the sun is high in the sky. It will take some time for it to set.

The two continued reading. Elder Han's writing was very detailed and was of great help to them.

After entering the Nanliu Secret Realm, you will be randomly teleported to any place. Fighting is not prohibited there, and a large number of geniuses often die here. I hope you will pay attention to safety.

Everyone will have a waist badge, and they will earn points by searching for spiritual herbs, killing monsters, or even robbing others.

Only when you reach 50 points can you enter the final Lingliu River.

It is said that Lingliu River was formed when an ancient Mahayana master passed away and his meridians were formed in his body. The entire river is filled with rich spiritual liquid.

But if one falls into the river, the flesh will not be able to withstand the impact of the spiritual liquid and will turn into minced meat. Only the stone platform that appears on the river can prevent this situation.

There is a formation on the stone platform that can absorb the surrounding spiritual liquid to the maximum extent. The stone platforms are of different sizes. The larger the stone platform, the stronger the formation and the more spiritual liquid it can absorb.

However, the number of stone platforms is uncertain. In the nearly ten visits to the Nanliu Secret Realm, the most stone platforms that appeared were only fifteen.

I suggest that you two fight for the position according to your strength, don't force it, life is the most important thing.

If they could grab the largest stone platform, then Gu Yang's dragon bone pill could be perfectly absorbed.

Finally, remember that all opportunities are external things, so live well and return to Tianyi Sect.

After reading the scroll in their hands, both of them sighed, and Elder Han's concerns were revealed between the words.

But there is no way. If we keep hiding under the protection of Elder Han, we will never be able to realize our wish to maintain peace in the south.

"Hurry! The spiritual energy tide is coming!"

"Hurry, hurry! The Nanliu Secret Realm is about to open!"

"Take me with you, come now..."

The doorway suddenly became lively, with countless shouts being heard.

All of this means one thing - the Nanliu Secret Realm has been opened ahead of schedule.

The barbecue that Gu Yang had just picked up suddenly lost its aroma. The customers around him stood up and rushed out with weapons in hand.

Gu Yang also wanted to get up, but was stopped by Hu Qing, "Wait until they leave first, then eat the food. Don't waste it. It will be crowded if you go now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang quickly finished the food on the table and rolled his eyes because of choking.

Then he called the waiter and packed two portions of barbecue and some pancakes, and also took two jars of local specialty wine.

Hu Qing has never eaten these foods. Once we get to the secret realm, he can try the specialties of Nanliu City.

After paying the bill, Gu Yang just walked out of the restaurant and was shocked by the scene before him.

The streets were crowded with people, and everyone was heading in the same direction, which was the Nanliu River outside the city.

Among these people, some were full of anticipation, some were nervous, but without exception, they were all full of yearning for the Nanliu Secret Realm.

The overwhelming shouting made Gu Yang's ears numb. It was just too loud.

Gu Yang found an empty spot in the crowd and followed their team out of the city.

He moved slowly with the crowd. The vendors on both sides of the street had already packed up their stalls and joined the group heading to Nanliu River.

The originally spacious streets became crowded because of the sudden influx of people. The noise came one after another, like waves of heat waves, constantly hitting Gu Yang's eardrums.

His pace slowed down involuntarily, and the pushing and shoving of the people around him made him feel a little irritated.

The heat on the street seemed even more oppressive, and sweat soaked his clothes again, making him even more anxious.

The scorching sun was still burning overhead, and the streets were packed with people, with no way to hide.

Gu Yang thought to himself that at this speed, he didn't know when he would reach Nanliu River.

Just then, a dirty child ran out from the side of the street and accidentally bumped into Gu Yang's leg.

Gu Yang subconsciously reached out to support him. The child raised his head, his big eyes full of panic, but it was soon replaced by gratitude.

"Thank you, big brother." The child's voice was clear and had a hint of innocence.

Gu Yang nodded, and the child was about to blend into the crowd. Just as he was about to move forward, Hu Qing moved.

At this moment, he didn't care about avoiding other people's spiritual sense. He flew straight out of his dantian, holding the child tightly with both hands.

The soul power was also clamping the child's struggling limbs.

Gu Yang reacted quickly. Since Hu Qing dared to expose himself, something big must have happened.

He turned around, ignored the curses from the people around him, lifted the child to his chest, and tied him up with his spiritual power.

"Brother Gu, he stole the storage ring."

He was shocked to find that the storage ring on his ring finger was missing.

The child still showed his dirty little face and tears were still flowing from his eyes.

Gu Yang punched him in the chest. The child became obedient and huddled in Gu Yang's arm, not daring to move.

When the people around saw this scene, they wanted to stop it, but when they looked at Gu Yang's vicious eyes, they turned their heads away.

The child was still thinking about shouting and running away in confusion, but before he could open his mouth, Hu Qing stuffed the scroll into his mouth.

Seeing him struggling, Gu Yang gave him another little bee elbow.

The child was completely obedient and let Gu Yang swing him.
