Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

"I wonder if Your Excellency Huangzhu has ever heard this saying?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Gao Zhun was puzzled. At this point, what else did this woman want to do?

Mo Nishang said with a charming smile, "Fortune favors the bold."

"..."

Seeing Gao Zhun remain silent, Mo Nishang pressed on, "So, what is Lord Huangzhu's answer?"

"I only know that something is definitely amiss when things are unusual." Gao Zhun lowered her eyes, making it impossible to discern her emotions at that moment: "Doesn't Your Highness, the Fifth Princess, think that this place is like a trap?"

"A trap?" Mo Nishang frowned. "Did you find something?"

Gao Zhun shook his head: "That's why I said that. After all, no one would tell their prey that it's a trap after setting one, right?"

Mo Nishang took a deep breath, and the corners of her mouth turned up again, seemingly unaffected by Gao Zhun's words: "As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Besides, I knew from the beginning that this entire Yongcheng is a trap~"

What's with that cute ending tone?

Also, knowingly jumping into a trap is a cowardly act, isn't it?

"I must say, the Fifth Princess is quite an oddball." Gao Zhun rubbed his forehead and looked at Ah Zhong: "Let's go, I think there shouldn't be any danger if we stay with Her Highness."

"Is it really appropriate to say that I am a weirdo in front of me?" Although she said this, Mo Nishang's signature coquettish laughter still echoed in Gao Zhun's ears, fully showing the owner of the laughter was in a happy mood at the moment.

"..." Gao Zhun fell silent again. She really couldn't communicate with this type of woman.

"Heh... I told you it was a trap!" Gao Zhun roared angrily as soon as he and Mo Nishang and the others stepped through the door that led to what looked like a secluded paradise.

Just as Gao Zhun had guessed, this was not the burial ground of that Yun family expert, but a world created by that person with great supernatural powers, a world like Yongcheng. However, there were no laws here that could accelerate cultivation like in Yongcheng. This place was just like outside Yongcheng...

No, perhaps it's not the same. According to the voice that just rang in her mind, this place should be another world created by the Yun family's powerful members based on the Immortal Spirit Continent at that time, rather than the one she came into contact with before. For example, the weeds as tall as her in sight were ones she had never heard of in her previous world. Only under the rich aura of the Great Dao in ancient times could these weeds grow so wildly.

However, this place was a complete suppression for these cultivators from later generations, since their cultivation level had not reached the point where they could absorb and contain the aura of the Great Dao, and none of them had even figured out their own Dao.

These young cultivators, whose highest cultivation level was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage and who were no more than 20 years old, were practically courting death by coming to a place that was completely unsuitable for their cultivation and was infested with ancient creatures.

No wonder no one has ever been seen to leave from here before. First of all, finding the entrance from which they came without knowing where they were teleported to is no easy task, and they have no idea what kind of dangers they will encounter along the way.

Although the Immortal Spirit Continent did not experience a historical gap between ancient and modern times due to any ancient war, how many people would be so bored as to research things from ancient times?

Archaeology is for archaeologists and tomb raiders to handle!

Just like Gao Zhun, who has only been in the Immortal Spirit Continent for a few months, she is not even very clear about the current situation of the Immortal Spirit Continent. The previous Gao Zhun was simply a cultivation fanatic. In order to make herself and her mother, Lady Zhu, live a good life, she never touched books that described ancient history, let alone local chronicles written by contemporary people.

Fortunately, she had studied the ancient legends of Yongcheng while she was in Luoshui Kingdom... However, Yongcheng and the real ancient environment are quite different, so she is now no different from a newborn baby.

"Phew~ Staying here any longer isn't a solution." Gao Zhun looked up at the sky and sighed to himself, "Fortunately, it's still early, enough time for her to find a place to stay before nightfall, and also to find out where Ah Zhong was teleported to."

The only thing to be thankful for now is that he's separated from Mo Nishang and her group, Gao Zhun encouraged himself with this thought.

As Gao Zhun walked along the road, searching for any nearby villages or towns, she processed the words she had heard when she first entered this world—

"Distinguished explorers, welcome to the secret realm I have specially crafted for you. Admittedly, this place cannot aid your cultivation, nor does it possess any rare and precious materials to assist your training. However, it does hold something of utmost importance to cultivators. If you wish to leave this realm, one of you must obtain that item. Yet, this realm has opened countless times over millennia, and no one has ever found that item and left. But I have a premonition that this will be the last time it opens. Finally, I offer you a hint: I hope you will carefully experience the wonders of this place."

If a secret realm can't help them cultivate and doesn't even have rare and precious materials, what kind of secret realm is this? And isn't that Yun family expert's surname not Yun, but rather Grandet?

What else could be considered the most important thing for cultivators? If it's the spiritual energy around us, filled with the aura of the Great Dao, then that person can die. Although it's clear the other person said they were going to search for something, it certainly wouldn't be spiritual energy. But every cultivator has their own idea of ​​what's most important, right? Is this an attempt to force a lesson on them and then standardize the criteria?

It has been opened no less than a hundred times over the millennia, yet no one has ever found that object and left. Isn't this a scam?

And what kind of bullshit hints are these? Are they even hints? Are they showing off their incredible abilities so that others can find more details to praise them?

"Stingy, pretentious, swindler, and arrogant." This was Gao Zhun's evaluation of the person who created this secret world after much thought.

Wait, is this the result of Gao Zhun's half-day digestion of those words?

"Sigh~" This was Gao Zhun's 379th sigh today. She was just one short of reaching 380, which was really not a good number. Thinking this, she wanted to sigh twice in a row to quickly skip that terrible number, but before she could even sigh out loud, she heard a familiar voice.

"Um, Mo Nishang and Xuanyuan Huanyu?" Gao Zhun twitched the corner of her mouth. Why was she so unlucky? Of all people to run into, she had to run into these two formidable women.

Waaah, she wants her little Zhongzhong now!

Of course, Gao Zhun only glanced at the two people who were clearly in a standoff, then secretly turned away, pretending not to see them, intending to slip away. However, her shoulders suddenly slumped down, causing her expression to instantly fall...

"You two beauties must have mistaken me for someone else..." As he felt the restraints on his left and right hands disappear, Gao Zhun deliberately shifted the bones of his face, creating the appearance of buck teeth, a flat nose, and goldfish eyes, giving the two beauties behind him a real visual shock.

Xuanyuan Huanyu frowned, while Mo Nishang chuckled and pointed her right finger at Gao Zhun's brow, restoring all the bone displacement he had caused to return to normal, revealing her handsome young appearance after arriving in Yongcheng.

Someone who was already on the verge of tears actually pretended to be oblivious: "Hey, beautiful lady, did you give me plastic surgery? I'm so happy~"

"Hahahaha, Xuanyuan Huanyu, your son is really quite interesting. Compared to you, he's the complete opposite." At this moment, Mo Nishang didn't have much time to fool around with Gao Zhun, so she directly steered the conversation towards Xuanyuan Huanyu.

Standing to the side, Gao Zhun raised an eyebrow. Why did she find this so awkward? What did she mean by "your son"? When did she become Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's son? Couldn't Mo Ni Chang just speak normally and like a human being?

"Mo Nishang, whatever your purpose, I advise you to stay away from her." Xuan Yuan Huanyu said calmly to Mo Nishang's enchanting laughter, uttering a sentence that Gao Zhun found even more cryptic.

Why is Xuanyuan Huanyu protecting her like this?

"Oh~" Mo Nishang was already standing closer to Gao Zhun, within easy reach of him. As for Xuan Yuan Huanyu, due to her temperament, she kept a certain distance from both Gao Zhun and Mo Nishang, clearly disliking close contact with others.

As she spoke, Mo Nishang hooked her arm around Gao Zhun's shoulder, looking at Xuan Yuan Huanyu provocatively: "Look, I've run into her now, so what are you going to do about it?"

Gao Zhun froze on the spot as her shoulder was embraced. She had a feeling that she was becoming cannon fodder in the game between the two of them. And don't think that she was enjoying being hugged by a curvy beauty. The aura emanating from this person was dangerous, as if he was about to 'crack' her off at any moment.

Gao Zhun, caught in a terrible predicament, was utterly devastated. How could things have turned out this way? She simply wanted to find a place to stay, and perhaps also to look for Ah Zhong and make some plans for the rest of her trip. Okay, she admitted that she had been too preoccupied with multiple things, to the point that she only noticed the presence of these two dangerous women when she was right in front of them, but that shouldn't be the reason for her death sentence.

However, this woman, Mo Ni Chang... really doesn't use "this palace" when she's with Xuan Yuan Huan Yu; she just says "I come and I go."
