Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

Imperial Palace.

A divine palace on earth.

The Empress's place of residence and cultivation.

Its location is situated on the earth, covering a vast area that stretches as far as the eye can see.

If you look down from above.

As you can see, the imperial palace is in the center, surrounded by countless exquisite pavilions that stretch as far as the eye can see, like a vast mountain range.

This is an imperial capital.

An imperial capital city that gathers hundreds of millions of ordinary people and is extremely prosperous.

Inside the capital city.

All mortals know that as long as the imperial palace and the empress remain, the endless demons and monsters outside will not dare to enter.

Therefore, all mortals believe in the Empress and are loyal to her.

With the Empress around, we can live a good life.

Just like today, the sky is high and clear, and there are no clouds in the sky.

The capital city was bustling with activity early on.

While everyone was busy and working as usual.

Above a cloudless blue sky.

A pair of incredibly vast eyes, radiating divine light, mysterious and terrifying, slowly emerged and opened.

"The Emperor, it is the Emperor."

"The Emperor has opened his eyes! The Emperor has opened his eyes..."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, quickly, quickly, kneel and worship Your Majesty the Emperor..."

"..."

This moment.

All mortals were filled with fear, and like a continuous tide, they knelt down in their houses and on the streets, kowtowing and praying incessantly.

This scene was accompanied by such a moment.

Within the capital city, ninety-five beams of spiritual light from cultivators pierced the sky, stood beneath the high heavens, and bowed in reverence.

No one knows why the Emperor suddenly opened his eyes.

This is not just ordinary eye opening, but opening the third eye.

It's important to know that the last time the Emperor opened his Heavenly Eye was a hundred years ago...

Ninety-five cultivators awaited instructions.

however.

The Heavenly Eye did not look at any of them, nor at the mortals of the capital below, but gently raised itself and looked in another distant direction.

I only looked at it for a few breaths.

The Sky Eye slowly closed and disappeared, and the blue sky returned to normal.

The ninety-five cultivators looked at each other, but in the end they all shook their heads slightly and left.

If the Emperor gives any instructions, they will receive them.

If no instructions are given, then one should naturally do what needs to be done.

in this way.

Everything calmed down.

No one knows why the Empress opened her eyes this time, or what she was looking at...

...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yunxiao Sect.

At dawn, the melodious chimes rang out.

Early in the morning, Song Yu was awakened by the sound of the bell. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the baby and Miao He lying on his left and right sides.

"Do I have some kind of succubus constitution?"

"Or is it the innate sacred body of the pillow?"

He shook his head slightly, both amused and exasperated, then pushed the two people, one big and one small, apart, and got out of bed.

A gentle breeze swept over me, carrying away all the filth from my body.

Open the window.

What comes into view is the spacious square I returned to yesterday at dusk, and the magnificent cloud boat that is moored in front of the square, constantly rising and falling in the clouds and mist.

"Day Three..."

This is his third day in the world of cultivation.

After yesterday's fierce battle, he was exhausted, so after arriving here, he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep after Miaohe helped him settle into his accommodation.

As for the owner of the cloud boat, he did not see him yesterday.

The other party should be the Heavenly River True Man that Miao He mentioned before. After arriving yesterday, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the magnificent palaces of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

I suppose they're going to find Yao Lizi.

My thoughts drifted away.

Song Yu went to the terrace outside the room.

The terrace is spacious enough to accommodate everyone.

in this way.

He practiced Tai Chi, relaxing his mind and body.

This time, the accompanying spiritual wind brought not the air of the mountains and forests, but the omnipresent mist and fog of this place.

The mist and fog are different from the mist and fog of mountains and forests.

The "taste" is different.

But it wasn't a big problem; the true qi within his body accepted everything without hesitation, devouring it and refining it into magical power.

Aside from the different taste.

The energy of mountains and forests is more effective in nourishing his body, while the energy of clouds and mist produces purer and higher-quality magical power, but its nourishing effect on the body is somewhat weaker.

It's not a big deal to miss out on this little bit of nourishing effect.

There is the Taiyi amulet to suppress the late stage of the body, as well as the spiritual energy generated by the Bodhi seed bracelet, the spiritual energy of the spirit gourd pill, the spiritual power refined from the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea, and the magic power refined from the true qi.

With so many benefits, my health has stabilized.

Although he was still quite thin, he was suppressed in the later stages, so at least he wouldn't continue to get worse.

After completing a set of Tai Chi, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

Song Yu sat down at the tea table at the edge of the terrace and poured himself a cup of tea.

The terrace is nice, but the railing is too low.

It's easy to fall.

The terrace is at least 100 meters away from the plaza below; an ordinary person would certainly die if they fell down.

However, this is the world of cultivation.

Cultivators can all fly, and there are no mortals in the Cloud Soaring Sect, so there's no need to worry about anyone falling off.

The tea was delicious and very clear.

Song Yu only took one bite, and he felt refreshed from the inside out. The feeling of refreshment went straight to the top of his head, and his newly opened spiritual sea surged and generated more pure spiritual energy.

Most mysteriously, the spiritual sea doubled in size.

His spiritual sea was a superior spiritual sea opened up using the "Soaring Clouds Technique". To grow stronger, he must absorb the energy of clouds and mist through the "Soaring Clouds Technique" to continuously expand.

According to his calculations.

The improvement brought by this sip of spiritual tea is equivalent to the improvement he would gain from a month of cultivation.

Clearly, the spiritual tea is a good thing.

Song Yu sipped his spiritual tea, relaxed, and gazed at the magnificent palaces and pavilions in the expansive view before him, feeling deeply moved.

Really big.

These magnificent palaces and pavilions not only stretch out in a continuous line, connected by cloud bridges, but they are also very tall, no less so than the skyscrapers in this world, and perhaps even more so.

You can't see the whole thing at a glance.

The area where he was currently located belonged to Yao Lizi and Miao He's cultivation residence.

If other cultivators in the sect don't take the initiative, they might only see each other a few times a year, making it quite deserted.

"There are no mortals because no mortals can live in the area where the Cloud Soaring Sect is located; it is inhabited only by demons and monsters."

"Most mortals gather in the capital."

"The Cloud Soaring Sect is a reclusive sect on the verge of extinction. It is so far from the capital that a teleportation array is needed to get there. If one were to fly by physical means, the time would be measured in years."

"There are many sects like the Cloud Soaring Sect in the Great Void Heaven."

"There are no spirit beasts or similar creatures in the Great Void Heaven. There are ordinary wild beasts, but they will eventually become demon beasts and become one of the monsters and demons."

"The land outside the cultivation sects is no exaggeration to call it a hell on earth. Mortals can only survive by relying on the cultivation sects that have the ability to provide protection."

"The place where the most mortals gather is the imperial capital."

Miaohe said that the capital city is very prosperous.

"Besides the capital, there are also a large number of mortals living in Yuhua Mountain, where Jade Spirit Venerable resides, and in the Taoist temple where Qingyun Temple is located."

"Besides, since the Taixu Realm is a major heaven, it is definitely larger than the small world, so there are quite a few capable immortal cultivation sects, and there are actually quite a few places for mortals to live in."

"I remember Miaohe saying that there's another top-tier sect that can rival the capital and Yuhua Mountain, called the Heavenly Sect..."

"Of course, there are many sects like the Cloud Soaring Sect that don't even have mortals and are on the verge of extinction."

"..."

My thoughts drifted away.

After finishing a cup of spiritual tea, Song Yu poured himself another cup and slowly exhaled.

On the horizon, the morning glow completely enveloped the world.

The clouds and mist surrounding the Cloud Soaring Sect spread out, bathed in the glow of the clouds, creating a beautiful, serene, and lonely scene.

Composing himself, he began to summarize yesterday's battle.

First, there are losses.

The sunflower, the flying sword, the Xuan Guang bird, and the ghost dog were all gone, reduced to dust by the collision of the Long Yang sword and his thunder magic.

The rest doesn't matter.

He had promised to give the sunflowers to Miaohe, but he had to break his promise.

at the moment.

He still possesses the "Possession Bone" and the "Hundred Transformations and Thousand Illusions Device," as well as the "Lightning Drill," which he carries with him in his luggage.

The harvest is on.

The Dragon Scale Mirror is broken, and I don't know if the medicinal ions can repair it.

If it were possible, that would be wonderful.

The amplifying effect of the Dragon Scale Mirror was truly useful, and it was of great help to him, who had only just begun his cultivation.

Unfortunately, it broke.

Song Yu sighed, his mind sank, and he arrived at his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Netherworld Guide..."

The Celestial Master's divine will opened his Heavenly Eye.

He looked at the tiny flame that slowly appeared in his hand as he raised it.

The flame was very small, like a candle flame.

The flames were blue and emitted a chilling aura. The coldness even made his Celestial Master divine sense feel a bit cold, and he had to rely on his red robes to keep warm.

And this is the "Netherworld Guide" that the Netherworld Ghost King gave him when he died, a guide that leads to the Nine Netherworlds.

What is the Nine Netherworld?

Why did Jade Spirit Venerable spend over a thousand years cultivating the Netherworld Ghost King and refining the Netherworld Guide?

After all that effort, what expression would Jade Spirit Lord have if he discovered that the Netherworld Guide and the Dragon Yang Sword were both missing?

The Dragon Yang Sword is alright, but the other party did all this for the Netherworld Guidance...

just now.

He obtained the Netherworld Guide; if Jade Spirit Lord discovers it...

return?

No.

The Netherworld Guide has become part of the Celestial Master's divine will and cannot be returned.

If it cannot be returned, then it is absolutely crucial to prevent Jade Spirit Venerable from discovering it.

Jade Spirit Venerable, a perfected Nascent Soul Realm being, is a being comparable to the Empress and can be considered one of the most powerful beings in the Great Heaven of the Void Realm.

If he is discovered, then the Ghost King of the Underworld is right; his fate will likely be no better.

Perhaps, someone will casually kill you and forcibly take away the Netherworld Guide.

"Primordial Spirit Realm..."

Song Yu suddenly felt the pressure.

According to Miaohe, there are eight realms of cultivation, divided into upper and lower levels.

Lower Realms: Spirit Opening, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core.

The highest realms are: Primordial Spirit, Dao Integration, Tribulation Transcending, and Ascension.

The difference between the upper and lower realms is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Take lifespan as an example.

The spirit is awakened, and its lifespan is 150 years.

Foundation built, lifespan 200 years.

The Purple Palace (紫府) has a lifespan of 300 years.

Golden Elixir, grants a lifespan of 500 years.

But they reached the upper realm.

One thousand years for the primordial spirit, one thousand years for the Dao integration, one thousand years for the tribulation transcendence, and one thousand years for ascension.

The difference in lifespan is so great that the difference in strength is even greater.

Jade Spirit Venerable was a powerful being in the Upper Realm.

To be an enemy of such a powerful being and to steal a treasure that the other party had been planning to refine for a thousand years—how could the pressure not be immense?

But then again.

The Netherworld's Guide is really...scented...

Although he didn't know what the Nine Netherworlds represented in the cultivation world, or how to use this thing to get there, this little flame itself was an extremely powerful treasure.

Because the "intent" of this thing is extremely vast, its "intent" can be continuously condensed and refined, tempering his Celestial Master's divine intent, as well as a host of other divine intent objects.

Just how effective it is, you'll know by looking at the Divine Will Talisman.

The Taiyi amulet, created by divine will, has completely broken through the space of his consciousness and affected his physical condition.

This means that...

He can stably suppress the late-stage internal energy without needing to bind the Taiyi amulet.

Besides the Taiyi amulet, all other methods can also be manifested externally and applied to his body.

Take Black Tiger for example.

He can now manifest the power of the Black Tiger, imbue it into his body, and even directly summon the Black Tiger to attack enemies.

This kind of power and improvement is a qualitative change.

It smells so good.

With his current divine power, he felt he could fight even the demon in its entirety, let alone a demonic avatar.

Therefore, even if he could return it, he wouldn't want to.

As for what to do next...

If it cannot be returned, and there is no desire to return it, then it can only be hidden away for now, and it will develop until it has the ability to do so. Even if the Jade Spirit Venerable discovers it, he will not be able to take it away.

The only problem is...

Yao Lizi and Miao He were also aware of the existence of the Netherworld Guide.

but...

Yao Lizi dared to take the Longyang Sword, which suggests that he didn't care about the Jade Spirit Venerable, or that he had some means to hide it.

Miaohe...

Once the drug ions are available, let's see how the other party arranges things.

The other party took the Dragon Yang Sword, and he took the Netherworld Guide; both belonged to Jade Spirit Venerable.

The two are in the same boat.

Furthermore, now that he has successfully left the small world, Yao Lizi has kept his word from beginning to end, so he can be trusted for the time being.

Even if we take a step back...

Even if he is discovered and cannot be defeated, he can still travel back in time.

"or..."

"Take the child and go find the Empress..."

Song Yu paused for a moment, thought about it, and decided that he could give it a try.

The empress didn't abandon the child; rather, she believed that the child could only survive if placed in a small, secluded environment.

Of course, it's also possible that the Empress simply didn't want to be implicated by the incompatibility that children bring to the world, so she simply threw them away.

anyway.

This child is a great asset.

If even the Empress fears the intolerance of Heaven and Earth, then Jade Spirit Venerable will likely also be wary.

after all.

Being forbidden by the heavens and earth within the Great Heavenly Realm can invite a lightning tribulation.

Thinking about this...

He glanced at his empty arms, then at the blue sky, and then quickly got up and ran back into the house to hold the child in his arms.

Fortunately, although I hadn't been holding the child, there was still a distance between us, so it didn't offend anyone.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

He carried the still-sleeping child back to the coffee table and sat down. Looking at the child's adorable face, he paused, then lifted the baby's bib for a peek.

It's a daughter.

Song Yu couldn't help but chuckle, holding the child as he continued to sip his tea.

"daughter..."

"That's good, it should have a name."

"What should I call him...?"

"According to the older generation, the more rustic the name, the easier it is to raise a child..."

"Then let's call her... Cuihua?"

"..."

He muttered to himself, lost in thought.

After a while.

He began to scratch his head, feeling extremely uncomfortable, his brows furrowed.

"No, it still won't work."

No matter how we choose a name, we're not satisfied.

"My mind went completely blank, and I couldn't think of any name other than Cuihua or Ergou."

"Am I really that incompetent?"

Song Yu felt he was going a little crazy. Looking at the child in his arms, he sighed to the heavens, "What should we name him?"

The words were spoken.

He had a sudden inspiration, a flash of genius.

"The Weaver Girl..."

"This name is good, Mulberry Girl, Weaver Girl, it matches your mother's name."

"However, the Weaver Girl is destined to be paired with the Cowherd."

Song Yu's brows relaxed, and he pondered, "Should we revise it again?"

"Um..."

Who is the Cowherd?

"The Cowherd is just an ordinary man."

"This is a myth. Legend has it that there was a fairy in heaven named Weaver Girl, who was in charge of weaving cloth... One day, Weaver Girl came down to earth to bathe, and Cowherd, guided by an old ox, stole Weaver Girl's clothes, preventing her from returning to heaven..."

Finally, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd would meet once a year on the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month, when the moon was full, across the Magpie Bridge...

"Indeed, I also think that the Cowherd and that cow..."

"etc..."

Song Yu suddenly realized something was wrong and decisively activated his Heavenly Eye.

next moment.

He saw a figure across the coffee table, shrouded in a stream of light, whose true appearance was obscured.

Who is it?

When did you arrive?

He immediately became alert, instinctively picking up the child in his arms, ready to defy the unacceptable rules of nature and run away at any moment.

"you..."

"Using my child...as a weapon?"

The figure spoke; it was a woman's voice.

Di Sang Nu?

Therefore, it was this empress who was stirring up his mind just now.

Song Yu's mind raced, and while he was secretly on guard, he said without changing his expression, "Excuse me, junior Song Yu greets Empress Senior."

Di Sangnu said in a calm tone, "It's not allowed in the future."

Song Yu put down the child she was holding, her face serious, and said frankly, "I will try my best."

Di Sang Nu remained silent.

He doesn't seem difficult to talk to.

Song Yu poured tea for him without saying a word, and after a moment of silence, he said, "May I ask you a question?"

Di Sangnu: "Ask."

Song Yu: "Who is the Weaver Girl's father?"

Di Sangnu: "I don't have... a biological father..."

Song Yu felt relieved.

This issue involves privacy, but the empress clearly didn't mind, and by specifically stating that she had no biological father, she acknowledged him as her non-biological father.

But how could a child be born without a biological father?

He didn't pursue the question further, suppressing his curiosity.

The two fell silent.

for a long time.

Di Sangnu raised her hand, and a mysterious stream of light fell on the child, transforming into a swaddle blanket that enveloped the child.

Song Yu's mind stirred, and he sensed that the spiritual energy within his spiritual sea was being generated again, meaning he could cultivate even while holding a child.

This swaddling cloth cannot completely isolate the child from the rules of heaven and earth, but as long as the rules are not triggered, it can ensure the child's safety and prevent the child from being affected in his cultivation.

"This is a drop of phoenix blood. If you encounter danger, it can help you come back to life."

As if the time had come, Di Sangnu's figure vanished, saying, "Take good care of the child..."

They're leaving already?

Song Yu glanced at the small jade bottle that had appeared on the coffee table, then used his Heavenly Eye to look around. After confirming the situation several times, he was finally relieved.

He's really gone.

It can be concluded that this child was not abandoned by the Empress heartlessly; otherwise, she would not have come all this way and even given a drop of phoenix blood as child support.

Since that's the case, then we can take advantage of it.

Once he's bound to this child, he imagines that if Jade Spirit Venerable discovers this in the future, the Empress probably won't ignore it.

After all, she was the only one who could keep the child safe.

Thinking about it.

He put away the phoenix blood, held the child, and looked at the clouds on the horizon once more.

Even with an empress, she was ultimately just an external force.

Relying on anyone else is not as good as relying on yourself.

Next, I need to cultivate diligently and improve my cultivation level.

To cultivate oneself, one needs resources.

The cultivation world is in decline, and various cultivation techniques are readily available everywhere, so there's no shortage of people to practice.

The worry is that practicing it will lead to death, and cultivation resources will be very scarce.

The only place where cultivation resources can be reliably obtained is the ancient cultivator's cave, a hidden place left behind by ancient cultivators a thousand years ago.

Therefore, the ancient cultivation cave that Master Tianhe caught is quite valuable. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to go inside and take a look...

There is also the "divine intervention".

The inner demon is dead; the second half, "Divine Intervention," can only be found at the Qingyun Dojo.

There's also the synchronization rate.

After arriving in Da Chong Tian yesterday, the synchronization rate increased by 5%, and now the total synchronization rate has reached 10%. I can get 10 conversion points every day and bind a total of 10 conversion items.

When the synchronization rate in the cultivation world reaches 10%, the bracelet will unlock new permissions.

He immediately began to sense the bracelet.
