Be a Mine Slave, Back to the Starting Point
Jiang Yi did not tell Liu Sheng and the others about the important matter of ascension!
He simply said he planned to continue his spiritual practice!
Wander the world, conquer the land!
After saying goodbye to them!
Jiang Yi and Nangong Yao set off and first found the Golden Horned Horse.
Wildebeest at this moment!
Its appearance has changed once again!
Its entire body is covered in scales, gleaming with golden light, and contains runes.
Above my head!
The two bulges have grown considerably larger, and seem ready to burst open at any moment.
Then dragon horns grew!
To become a Primordial Variant Species possessing the True Dragon Bloodline--
Ryoma!!!
The bloodline has also reverted to its ancestral state!
A faint aura of dragon power began to emanate from his body.
In terms of strength, it has more than doubled!
He is in no way inferior to a True King in the Mortal Transformation Realm!
Upon seeing Jiang Yi and his companion arrive!
The protruding, gleaming golden horse's eye immediately lit up!
Like a lackey who hadn't seen its master in a long time, it immediately rubbed against him excitedly.
"Boss Jiang, you've finally arrived!"
"Um!"
Jiang Yi patted its head; clearly, this thing had refined its transverse bone.
In addition, it has a high IQ and is already able to speak human language!
"And there's this fairy too!"
Nangong Yao put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and snorted coldly.
"Brother Nangong, I also pay my respects to you!"
The Golden Horned Horse galloped up to her side, its mouth wide open in a grin.
It perfectly embodies the flattery inherent in human nature!
"That's more like it!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yao nodded in satisfaction.
On her shoulder!
The small black beast shrunk to the size of an adult's palm and sat like a person.
With its claws crossed over its chest, it looked arrogant.
"Let's go, it's time to head back!"
Nangong Yao blinked her bright, lively eyes, which held a hint of jubilation.
She had been looking forward to returning to the Upper Realm for a long time!
Compared to Yue Rou'er alone!
She was undoubtedly like someone with a family to support!
A Golden Horned Horse, a small black beast, and Jiang Yi alone.
A flash of light appeared in her hand!
Take out the World-Breaking Talisman!
Unlike Yue Rou'er!
Her World-Breaking Talisman was made of blood jade, with spatial patterns engraved on it.
It carries an air of mysterious and ethereal energy!
As she poured her magic into it, the spatial patterns etched on it shone brightly!
Emerging from the blood jade!
They transformed into crimson runes, imprinted on the void.
A phoenix's cry resounded throughout!
The void began to distort, and spatial fluctuations rolled like waves!
"Open it!"
Nangong Yao gave a soft shout and struck out the World-Breaking Talisman in her hand.
Submerged into the void!
It seemed that she noticed a hint of curiosity on Jiang Yi's face, or perhaps she wanted to show off.
A hint of smugness appeared on her pretty face!
"The creation of the World-Breaking Talisman is not difficult, in a way!"
Only a highly skilled practitioner who is proficient in the laws of space can do this.
It will require a great deal of mental effort and many days of refinement before there is any chance of success!
But each one can generally only be used once!
Therefore, World-Breaking Talisman are quite precious!
Especially those capable of creating a portal between the two realms are extremely rare.
It must be someone above the giant level who personally takes action!
Giant!
That's a powerful, overlord-level existence!
Hmm!
People like the leader of my sect and some Dao Master of supreme lineages are such figures.
Impressive, right...?
"Buzz!"
The void rippled with waves, covered by runes.
A spatial passage gradually solidified!
A journey to the upper realm!
Unfortunately, all that could be seen was a hazy, faint light, with no end in sight.
Only a crimson divine radiance burst forth!
It resembled wisps of raging flames, with the phantom of a phoenix seemingly appearing within them.
It outlined a gate to the void!
"It's done!"
Nangong Yao clapped her hands, called out to Jiang Yi, and stepped inside first.
Next came the Golden Horned Horse, while Jiang Yi walked at the very back.
Don't worry, it'll be quick!
Once you enter the spatial passage, it's best to close your eyes first!
With our current strength, it would be premature for us to attempt to study the profound mysteries of space.
It is easy to suffer the backlash from the laws of space!
One wrong move!
If it's just a minor mental or emotional drain, that's not so bad.
In more severe cases, it could seriously damage the soul!
That would be a losing proposition...
Jiang Yi listened to Nangong Yao's words and decided to obey her this once.
So he closed his eyes.
Even with just a faint sense of perception, one could feel the surrounding space constantly receding backward.
It felt like the world was spinning, and everything was turned upside down!
"Just a little longer!"
"Once you open your eyes, we'll arrive. Then I'll take you to the back mountain and find you a master..."
Nangong Yao's voice came one after another!
As clear and melodious as the tinkling of a spring!
Pleasant to the ear!
Jiang Yi's vision went black for the first time, as if he had fallen into endless darkness.
After a few breaths!
Then, a faint light began to shine through!
It's like sitting on a train that's traveling at high speed and has entered a pitch-black tunnel.
One black, one bright!
When I opened my eyes again, we were already out of the tunnel!
Sight has returned, and the world has been transformed!
A feeling of weightlessness washed over me!
Jiang Yi knew he had landed!
Immediately afterwards!
An extremely rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed towards me, swirling around me!
This is a feeling I've never experienced before!
Compared to the sparse and desolate lower realms, which can be described as the end of Dharma, it's like heaven and earth.
His 108,000 pores are opening up as wide as they can!
It was like a long-awaited rain after a drought!
Bathed in the rich Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, his physical body subtly improved.
It felt like breaking free from the shackles of heaven and earth, and regaining a new life of freedom.
With each breath he took!
The Indestructible Golden Body cultivated by the practitioner operates autonomously, refining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The magical power transformed into wisps and strands that flowed into his dantian.
His Realm/Boundary began to falter!
It seems that he can break through to the next Realm/Boundary at any time if he wants to.
But...
Something seems off!
Why is there no sound?
Even Nangong Yao's voice has disappeared!
Suddenly!
A soft, metallic clang rang in his ears!
At the same time, it touched his heart!
A chill inexplicably rose within me!
He suddenly opened his eyes!
A thick, blood-stained gray chain came flying through the air.
It resembles a remarkably agile and large snake!
It's flicking its tongue!
It gleamed with a faint, cold light!
It chooses its prey to devour!
With a "snap," it wrapped around his neck!
Jiang Yi: "???"
Who I am?
Where am I?
What is this for?
"Hehehe!"
"So there was one fish that slipped through the net, hiding in these bushes!"
Do you think you can get away with this?
"Utterly stupid!"
"Looking at your outfit, you actually look quite presentable!"
"You really think I can't tell?"
"Hmph!"
"I recognized it at a glance!"
"Now that you're in my hands, you'd better come with me obediently!"
"If you dare to resist, you'll regret it!"
"You don't need to be too afraid. You people are going to be sent to the Upper Sect!"
"I heard that the Upper Sect has opened a new spiritual vein. They'll send you there to be a Mine Slave."
"Just keep mining!"
"Hehehe!"
Jiang Yi: "..."
What the heck?
Mine Slave?!
Is this a return to square one?
