Fate of the Immortals and Demons

"Is that so? The cultivation systems and realm names in the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm are actually different. However, this isn't surprising. After all, each realm is its own, with barriers separating them from each other. It's just like the human world, where even countries have different systems."

Ding Yubai pondered secretly, just as there are thousands of roads, all lead to the same destination.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. I think this is also the origin of the name of the Three Realms.

Seeing Ding Yubai was silent, Luo Huo looked him up and down, and said in surprise:

"However, you are so strange. I can't tell your specific level of cultivation. It seems to be between the Yellow and Mysterious levels."

Ding Yubai couldn't help but laugh and said, "I practice a cultivation system from the demonic realm. It's perfectly normal that you can't see it. My aunt Zhen told me that I've already faintly touched upon the third level of the Demonic Energy Realm, the Na Zi Jue."

Luo Huo was very puzzled after hearing this and said, "I really don't understand why the realm systems of the three realms are called differently? Then why did you enter the Holy Academy for further study? Wouldn't that prevent you from making any mistakes?"

"As the Tao gives birth to one, everything begins the same, but as they grow further apart, they diverge and each embarks on a different path. The myriad great ways all originate from this."

As Ding Yubai explained this, he also had a vague understanding.

It's like every newborn baby is the same from the moment they are born.

The only difference is that as they grow older, they have different growth processes, so when they grow up, they also have different life experiences.

Luo Huo didn't think too much about it, he just said:

"In my Netherworld, the Holy Academy isn't considered a top-tier school. It's far inferior to my Netherworld Academy. Every seven years, in the Netherworld Ten Schools Competition, the Holy Academy only barely ranks third. First place goes to my Netherworld Academy, and second place goes to the Netherworld Academy."

"Master leads me in. Cultivation depends on the individual."

Ding Yubai just responded with a smile.

Therefore, Ding Yubai is not very interested in the ranking of this school. At this stage, he is just trying to lay a foundation. Once he has a foundation, he will go to the demon world to pursue more advanced ways and methods of cultivation.

It's like starting school, from kindergarten.

Just imagine, what kind of advanced knowledge can a kindergarten teach? In that case, what is the point of its ranking?

At least, I have never heard of any ranking for kindergartens?

"How long until we get to the Holy Academy?"

Calculating the time, it has been more than half a day since the flight started, without stopping for a moment. Ding Yubai couldn't help but ask.

Luo Huo glanced at the sky and estimated:

"It's getting dark soon. We need to rest in a nearby town for one night and arrive before dark tomorrow."

Ding Yubai asked in surprise, "Why can't we travel day and night?"

At this time, the sturdy man named Thanos, with a broad back and a single horn on his forehead, wearing armor, came to the deck and explained:

"Mr. Ding, you don't know that to reach the Holy Academy, you need to cross the Nether Mountain Range. This mountain range is extremely strange and dangerous. In my Netherworld, it is known as one of the ten most dangerous places. Even the Lord of Nether City dare not trespass in the middle of the night."

"Is that so?"

Ding Yubai had no choice but to nod, then turned and looked far ahead. Sure enough, he could vaguely see the rolling mountains, which were hazy and vague. Perhaps it was because of the sky, it was so dim that he could not see the end at all.

"Don't worry! We'll set off at dawn tomorrow. Let's go! We've been on the ship for most of the day, it's time to relax. I can take you to visit the capital of Laiyang State, which is just across the strait from the Nether Mountain Range."

As Luo Huo spoke excitedly, he took Ding Yubai's arm affectionately and took him away on a cloud.

"What about them?"

Ding Yubai couldn't help but panic when Luo Huo took him away from the ship.

"Captain Thanos will dock the ship at the port of Laiyang's capital, so don't worry about them."

Luo Huo smiled sweetly, a dark cloud rose under her feet, and she took Ding Yubai and flew straight to a large island.

Ding Yubai felt something soft beneath his feet, as if he were stepping on a ball of cotton. He looked up and said, "Didn't we say we were going through the Netherworld Mountains? How did we end up at the seaside?"

"This is also because the Netherworld Mountains are so vast, stretching for tens of millions of miles, from the Demon-Seeking Plains in the west to the Penglai Sea in the east. For a small escort fleet like ours, it's best to detour to the seaside and pass along the coastline for safety. You are a demon from the Demon Realm, of unparalleled status. How can we allow you to take such risks?"

At the end of his speech, Luo Huo almost hugged Ding Yubai's entire arm into his arms, deliberately touching the two soft lumps on his chest.

Since he was being carried by Luo Huo on a cloud, Ding Yubai couldn't pull his arm out.

Besides, I'm a grown man, and other girls are not afraid of being taken advantage of, so why should I be afraid of being taken advantage of?

But even so, Ding Yubai had never been close to a woman before. Even being forced to hug Aunt Zhen's waist would make him blush. At this moment, his face turned even redder and he suddenly felt dry mouth.

"Huh? You're blushing? Hehehe..."

Luo Huo stared at Ding Yubai's handsome face without blinking, but when he saw Ding Yubai's fair and clean face with a blush rising on it, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ding Yubai blushed and asked unhappily, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"No."

Luo Huo shook his head in denial without hesitation, and then said:

"But there are many men who covet my beauty, so I won't be polite and squeeze all of them dry."

"Drained of essence? How?"

Ding Yubai seemed to understand but not quite, and kept asking questions, staring intently at the fiery red girl who was almost nestling in his arms.

Facing Ding Yubai's questioning and scrutinizing gaze, Luo Huo curled his lips in a somewhat aggrieved manner and said:

"I'm not like that woman next to you called Aunt Zhen. I'm still a virgin too! My method of draining him dry is very simple. As long as a man covets my beauty, I will charm him and then let him fall into a drowsy state of enjoyment. Then I can absorb his essence without any defense."

"It's that simple!"

After hearing this, Ding Yubai couldn't help but think of the story of A Chinese Ghost Story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, in which a female ghost bewitched a man who was greedy for her beauty, and then while the man was immersed in the joy of illusion, her essence was sucked away and he died.

Thinking of this, Ding Yubai couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "Will the man whose essence you absorb die?"

"I'm not that bad!"

Luo Huo stretched out his slender jade fingers in a rage, scratched Ding Yubai's cheek, which was still flushed, and said with a smile:

"Those men whose vital energy I have absorbed will, upon waking up the next day, at most feel exhausted. After a year or two of recuperation, their vital energy will be restored and they will be fine."

"So it wasn't?"

Ding Yubai thought to himself that his opinion of Luo Huo had changed a lot.

It's more like Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story, except that Xiaoqian is a female ghost, while Luo Huo is a living person.

"Alas, it would be better if you were not a demon."

Seeing Ding Yubai lost in thought, Luo Huo sighed softly with some resentment.

"what?"

Ding Yubai seemed not to hear clearly and asked subconsciously.

"Nothing? Look, we've arrived at Laiyang. Laiyang is an island nation in the Penglai Sea. When it was powerful, it almost invaded and annexed the Black Dragon Empire. However, due to the Black Dragon Empire's vast territory and its strategic depth, it took fourteen years to drive Laiyang back to the island."

Luo Huo changed the subject at the right time, and flew into the sky with Ding Yubai on a cloud.

Ding Yubai looked down and thought it was more like a continent than an island. Not only was the island so huge that it stretched as far as the eye could see, but it also had endless mountains...

After carefully considering Luo Huo's words, Ding Yubai had a strange feeling. How could this be so similar to his own human world, China? Could it be that there really was such a thing as reincarnation in parallel worlds?

"The capital of Laiyang Country is named Kyoto, and it has a rich entertainment industry! Every year when Nether Academy is on vacation, countless wealthy young men from Nether Academy come to Kyoto and linger there until school starts. However, I'm also going to the Holy Academy this year."

As Luo Huo was speaking, he had already brought Ding Yubai directly to the island, on a street in a city with huge buildings.

"Let's go! It's still early, let's go shopping!"

Luo Huo even held Ding Yubai's hand, and the two of them were like a couple in love, very intimate.

Ding Yubai, who was holding Luo Huo's hand, was very curious and looked around quickly along the way.

In Ding Yubai's eyes, the capital of Laiyang Kingdom, Kyoto, is far inferior to Mingcheng, and there is a world of difference between them.

Although the buildings are large, most of the houses are only three or four stories high, and are simple brick and tile houses or wooden houses.

Ding Yubai just felt as if he had traveled back to an ancient city.

The streets are bustling with people and many shops, making it look very lively and prosperous.

Moreover, most of them look decent, wearing cloth or brocade clothes, and appear very normal.

Ding Yubai observed and found that most of the people in Kyoto were short in stature.

Most of the women are dressed very delicately, like porcelain dolls, with a strong lolita style.

It’s no wonder that people say the sex industry is very rich.

"My Netherworld also has mortal kingdoms, over a hundred of them, large and small. Furthermore, not everyone in the Netherworld can cultivate. Cities like Nether City, Phantom City, and Dawn City are equivalent to the three major cultivation cities, home to many cultivators. Furthermore, cities like the Beiyang Territory Lord, the Qiumo Territory Lord, and the Youji Territory Lord are all home to demons."

Seeing that Ding Yubai looked down on Kyoto, Luo Huo had to give a brief explanation.

"fire!"

Just as Ding Yubai was strolling on the street with Luo Huo, he suddenly heard a man's shouting, which seemed very intimate.
