A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Seven ring-shaped ravines suddenly cracked open in the ground, and a three-meter-tall crystalline creature emerged from the purple beam of light.

The Void Rift Guardian's body was covered in stardust-like blue-purple patterns, and twelve rhomboid crystal clusters grew intertwined along its spine, causing the air to vibrate at a high frequency with every step it took.

"An ant that has dared to awaken a void anchor point." The mental pressure was like a materialized mountain, and Jiang Ye's knees slammed heavily into the ground, a metallic taste rising in his throat.

Ye Shuli's defensive necklace shattered instantly, but before the cracks could spread to her collarbone, she crushed the ice crystal emblem, and the burst of cold air formed a temporary protective shield.

The guardian's right arm crystal cluster suddenly reformed into a spear shape, leaving charred cracks in the space where the spear tip passed.

Jiang Ye rolled away to dodge the first attack, and the ground where he had been standing turned into a deep pit emitting black smoke.

The shockwave from the second sweeping attack sent boulders flying thirty meters away. Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye by the collar and plunged into the corner formed by the remains of the ancient tree.

"Do you remember the parkour route?" Ye Shuli quickly drew a diagram on the other person's palm with her blood-stained fingers. It was the emergency evacuation route they had designed three days ago when they were scouting the valley.

Just as Jiang Ye was about to nod, the ancient tree above his head suddenly exploded, and the crystal cluster in the guardian's left hand had transformed into a triangular pyramid shape.

Amidst the rain of gravel, Jiang Ye was thrown off balance by the blast wave, his lower back slamming into a protruding rock pillar.

Ye Shuli flung out the black iron chain from her storage ring and wrapped it around his wrist, but she herself was pulled in the opposite direction by the reaction force.

The guardian's spear grazed her hair and pierced the ground; the two strands of hair were swallowed up by the void energy and turned to ashes before they even hit the ground.

"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli, who rushed over to shield him from the aftershocks of the energy. The clothes on her left shoulder were disintegrating into blue light points like a stream of data.

The ice crystal emblem left behind by the female cultivator once again came into play, barely freezing the spatial collapse around the wound.

Ye Shuli slapped the star chart compass onto Jiang Ye's chest: "Give me thirty seconds." The shattered screen suddenly lit up with bio-electric current-like patterns, as the lithium battery of the modern device was strangely resonating with Jiang Ye's milk tea spiritual power.

She tore open her blood-stained sleeve, revealing shimmering genetic chains beneath her skin—a protective layer of modern DNA fused from time travel.

The Guardian's crystal cluster weapon switched to a honeycomb-shaped muzzle, unleashing a barrage of void bullets from every angle.

Jiang Ye bit his tongue to activate the warning barrier. The topological trajectory drawn by the pale purple light blade formed bubble-like spiritual energy in the air, deflecting the most lethal attack to the two mountain walls.

"Modern hexadecimal cipher corresponds to the eight trigrams, help me locate the Kun position!" Ye Shuli's voice was mixed in with the sound of the explosion.

With her right hand, she controlled the automatically disassembling and reassembling star map compass, while with her left hand, she used ice crystal emblems to inscribe an array on the ground that incorporated calculus equations.

Jiang Ye unleashed a chain formed from his life essence blood, binding the guardian's ankle and dragging him through a ten-meter-long ditch without letting go.

As the seventh ice crystal rune embedded itself in the ground, the genetic chain on Ye Shuli's forehead suddenly materialized into a laser matrix.

In the strange flashes generated by the collision of modern biotechnology and void energy, the crystal cluster on the guardian's chest experienced a disturbance for 0.3 seconds.

This vulnerability from another world was precisely detected by the Star Chart Compass, and sixteen laser beams simultaneously struck the energy node at the crystal cluster connection.

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the valley. The guardian staggered back three steps, and two pieces of the crystal cluster on his chest fell off.

But the crystal in its eye socket suddenly rotated and reorganized, and the fragments that were knocked down floated up to form a satellite-like array of attacks.

"It's working!" Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and caught a glimpse of Ye Shuli using the Ice Crystal Emblem to receive the data stream extracted from the Star Chart Compass.

The modern electronic components, imbued with the spiritual energy of milk tea, are now subtly resonating with the ancient formations that remain in the valley.

Jiang Ye gritted his teeth, and brown spiritual energy seeped out from between his fingers.

He glanced around at the collapsed rocks, his gaze suddenly locking onto a pile of rubble sculpted into cone shapes by the barrage of void bullets.

Three days ago, during reconnaissance, the spirit-binding rope hidden in the rock crevice was faintly glowing three meters away—it was a leftover scrap from when they set up the warning trap.

"The Dragon-Severing Stone in the Southeast Corner!" Ye Shuli suddenly shouted.

With her right hand, she maintained the laser matrix of the star map compass, while with her left hand, she plunged the ice crystal emblem upside down into the ground.

The modern DNA protective layer glowed with a dark blue grid beneath the skin, resonating with Jiang Ye's milk tea-colored spiritual power in a quantum-like entanglement.

The satellite chip on the guardian's chest suddenly began to spin faster.

Using the force of the shockwave that threw him over, Jiang Ye rolled toward the pile of rubble. As his back slammed heavily against the rock wall, his fingertips hooked onto the piece of the Spirit Binding Rope.

The moment the milk tea-colored spiritual energy was injected, the discarded rope suddenly expanded into a net-like structure, wrapping up rubble to form a simple honeycomb trap.

"The Kun position has shifted seven degrees!" Ye Shuli's shout was accompanied by a metallic tremor.

Her feet were deeply embedded in the calculus array carved into the ground, where modern hexadecimal code was creating a spatial folding effect with the ancient Bagua array.

The moment Jiang Ye threw out the trap, twelve pearls formed from the spiritual energy of milk tea precisely embedded themselves into the gap in the formation.

The guardian shattered the third ground protection talisman, but was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the spiritual energy pearl.

The honeycomb trap, wrapped with pebbles, stuck to its ankle; the product of combining modern polymer materials with ancient spirit-binding magic burst forth with astonishing toughness.

The laser beam from the star map compass took the opportunity to penetrate the chip defense, burning a hole the size of a bowl in the guardian's chest.

Ye Shuli's pupils suddenly contracted.

The genetic chain around her neck materialized into a stream of data light, absorbing all the void energy extracted from the star map compass.

The radiation levels that should have been lethal were translated into controllable energy within the transmigrator's DNA protective layer. When she formed a sword with her fingers together, what pulsed in her palm was no longer ordinary spiritual power, but a void storm carrying a quantum entangled state.

The guardian emitted a high-frequency hiss, and rocks within a radius of 100 meters simultaneously floated into the air.

Jiang Ye grabbed the broken black iron chain, flipped over, and leaped onto the protruding stalactite. He then threw out three jade talismans engraved with the milk tea shop's logo from his storage ring—these were simple explosive devices he had modified using spiritual pearls.

The shockwave from the explosion propelled the floating rocks toward the Guardian.

Seizing this 0.5-second gap, Ye Shuli thrust her sword-like fingers, carrying a stream of data, into the hollow of the guardian's chest.

The collision of modern binary code and void energy creates a singularity resembling a Klein bottle, causing the floating rocks to suddenly re-embed themselves back into the mountain, like a movie scene that has been rewound.

"Watch out for the Kun position!" Jiang Ye suddenly shouted.

He pretended to stumble and lunge at Ye Shuli, but secretly held the last two jade talismans in his palm.

The moment the female cultivator from the Void Organization emerged from the crevice, her milk tea-colored spiritual energy suddenly solidified into a physical bubble tea straw, the sharp tip of which precisely pierced her right hand as she was about to form a hand seal.

The female cultivator's astonished expression froze on her face.

Before she could fully retrieve the ice-shaped magical artifact hidden in her sleeve, her face was covered in hot pearls sprayed from the straw—this was a sugar attack modified by Jiang Ye using alchemy techniques; the viscous spiritual pearls instantly sealed seventy percent of her spiritual power.

The guardians then launched their final counterattack.

All the crystal clusters at its spine detached from the body and reassembled in the air into a dodecahedral cage.

Ye Shuli's genetic chains suddenly flowed in reverse, and the DNA helices carrying modern knowledge began to actively decipher the formula for the composition of void energy.

“So that’s how it is…” A smile suddenly appeared on her blood-stained lips. Her left hand maintained the quantum entanglement state of the void storm, while her right hand drew Maxwell’s equations in the void.

When modern electromagnetic formulas resonated with the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, the guardian's crystal cluster cage suddenly flickered violently, like a malfunctioning holographic projection.

Jiang Ye smeared his life essence blood on the black iron chain and flung it out.

The chain decomposed into nanoscale spiritual energy particles in mid-air, which, together with Ye Shuli's electromagnetic field, formed an artificially created Dyson sphere structure.

The guardian let out a final roar, and its entire body dissipated layer by layer, like a 3D model that had been deleted.

But the joy of victory lasted only three breaths.

The void rift that should have closed suddenly twisted into the shape of a Möbius strip. The scattered guardian energy did not disappear, but instead condensed into dark purple crystals at the edge of the rift.

The star chart compass that Ye Shuli had just picked up suddenly alarmed, and the radiation value on the display screen was soaring in a Fibonacci sequence pattern.

"Something's not right!" Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli and pulled her back quickly.

The spiritual energy pearl he flung out exploded at the edge of the crack, but the explosion, which was supposed to dispel the abnormal energy, instead doubled the speed at which the crack expanded.

The ice crystal artifact left behind by the female cultivator suddenly flew towards the crack on its own. The moment it came into contact with the dark purple crystal, infrasound waves resounded throughout the valley, similar to the sound of shattering glass.

Ye Shuli's genetic chains appeared uncontrollably on her body surface.

The DNA helices carrying modern technological data are resonating eerily with the cracks, and a tattoo composed of binary code suddenly appears on the skin behind her neck—an anomaly never seen since she transmigrated.

The void rift stopped expanding at this point, but that stillness was more unsettling than any turbulence.

The dark purple crystals at the edge of the crack began to grow patterns resembling those of an integrated circuit board, and some kind of energy fluctuation beyond the comprehension of this cultivation world was slowly awakening.
