Above all spirits

Chapter 42 The Beginning of the Journey

Alpha Dimension, Human Realm, Canglan Star, outside Lanyu City.

...

"Mother, Mother, I'm scared."

A little girl with two braids was clinging to a woman's leg, burying her head in the woman's skirt, trembling all over.

The woman patted the little girl's thin back and said softly.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, they can't get in."

"Boom boom boom!"

The loud knocking did not subside despite the woman's attempts to soothe her.

Instead, they became even more violent.

The entire cabin seemed to tremble.

A few specks of dust settled on the heads of the woman and the little girl.

Screams and roars echoed from outside the door.

Many of them were voices familiar to women.

That was an acquaintance from the village.

Suddenly, a strange and rough male voice came through the crack in the door.

"You really think you can stop the Sand Tiger Gang with just a broken wooden door? What a laughable little wench."

"Ha ha ha ha."

A sharp, malicious voice drowned out the laughter of the crowd.

"Brother Tiger sent me here. I just broke through to the second level of the mortal body. Watch me smash this broken door with one punch. I heard the girls inside are the most beautiful in the village. Hehehe, I'll grab them for you to enjoy, brother."

The burly man laughed.

"Haha, it's all thanks to my second brother Xiao Teng's talent for martial arts. You all should learn from him. Whoever can break through the mortal body will be the third brother."

"Yes!"

"Brother, I'm still stuck at the first level of the mortal body. It seems the Desert Eagle Gang will have to rely on you from now on."

"No problem, no problem. Without your help, Brother Tiger, how could I have broken through to the second level of the mortal body so quickly? We're all family."

"Haha, okay."

The woman inside seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and quickly squatted down.

He gently stroked the little girl's head, wiped away the dust, and spoke softly.

"Qing'er, be good. Do you still remember that little cellar where you used to play hide-and-seek with your father?"

The little girl sobbed and did not answer the woman's question.

She is not young; she is old enough to understand things.

I knew something bad might happen.

She didn't want to leave her mother.

Looking at the little girl clutching her dress tightly, the woman's eyes were filled with endless reluctance, but then her determination returned.

She gently bit her red lips.

She pulled her skirt open with the little girl's hand.

His tone was slightly stern.

"Be good, Qing'er, don't make a fuss. Go to the cellar quietly. Come on, Mom will make your favorite braised pork for dinner tonight."

The little girl wiped away her tears.

She pouted and said

"Tomorrow too."

The woman covered her mouth, trying her best to suppress the sadness in her heart and control her trembling voice.

"it is good."

"Make it for Qing'er tomorrow too."

Watching the little girl tumble towards the shadows, and as her figure disappeared into the darkness, the woman finally felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

He picked up the kitchen knife from the table and stared intently at the wooden door, which remained motionless.

But this does not mean that everything is fine.

It was merely the calm before the storm.

...

Gamma Dimension, Star Moon Demon Realm, Shadow Star.

"Werner, even though you've never been to the lower realm, you should at least know how to get to the human realm, right?"

After analyzing the (pseudo) power: after sealing, Gu Yun stretched and asked the shadow that was gradually shrinking back towards him.

It was Werner who was gradually being released from surveillance.

"Mother hen, that seems to be part of the power: disguise. Anyway, my disguise is positioned in the human realm. There may be other disguises that go to the other seven realms, but it can only be roughly positioned in the main realm. After all, once the main realm is determined, it doesn't matter which planet we land on. It doesn't matter who we do business with."

"That's true, then I'll most likely descend to the human realm. But if I go to the human realm first, how will I travel to other realms?"

Gu Yun noticed something suspicious. Did he have to come back again and assimilate the power: disguise?

It's probably a stripped-down version.

That's so troublesome.

"Several hundred years ago, it was indeed necessary to use the gamma dimension as a transit station. It was very troublesome and expensive. However, the avatars of various demons and gods have already established teleportation arrays of all sizes in the lower realm, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

The huge black shadow beneath his feet completely shrank into Gu Yun's body, while the small black shadow popped its head out again onto Gu Yun's shoulder.

"Moreover, even without the teleportation array, I don't think it would pose an obstacle for you. In fact, the Lower Eight Realms can be regarded as one big world. The reason for the division into eight realms is that there is an unstable star belt at the boundary between realms. The stars in the unstable star belt are very active, the trajectories of the stars are irregular, and stars explode, etc. It is almost impossible for someone without a congenital body to cross it."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment before replying.

"You mean the Shadow Fiend's nothingness can traverse unstable star belts? It just takes a little more effort."

The little black figure nodded proudly.

Stand up!

"That's it."

Gu Yun showed no joy whatsoever; instead, he looked at her with disdain.

"So, you have a map that covers the entire Eight Realms?"

The little black figure was taken aback.

"Uh...no."

Blind student, you discovered Hua Dian.

Gu Yun: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

Werner: (?Д?)

Gu Yun shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Let's just honestly spend money to use the teleportation array and go to the other side to make my first pot of gold."

Gu Yun, who had never filled a soul crystal before, believed that he should not be able to fill a thousand soul crystals at once.

Even if the other side is full of soul bubbles and soul matter.

Let's be on the safe side.

Top it up once when you go.

Charge it once when you come back.

That should be about right. If the efficiency is really low and he can't even charge up a thousand mid-grade soul crystals in two tries, then there's nothing he can do.

Moreover, according to Su Xiaoqian's previous memories, the time flow rate on the other side is about ten to one, while the ratio between the upper and lower realms seems to be five to one.

Going to the other side first won't take too long.

The little dark figure was excited when it heard that it was going to make a fortune.

After all, he is destined to be the second richest young master in the future Gamma Dimension.

"Charge! Go go go!"

He completely forgot the feeling of death he had experienced the first time he was on the other side of the river.

After all, the other side is now considered his second home.

It's still a golden house.

"Power: Soul Vision!"

"Power: Assimilation!"

"brush--"

Gu Yun's figure disappeared into the alley.

At this moment, Gu Yun, possessing the powers of sealing, soul vision, and assimilation, truly achieved a state of being unparalleled in the three dimensions.

It can be said that it has truly transcended the three-dimensional world, and traversing the three-dimensional world is as easy as drinking tea and eating.

The random spawn point was giving Gu Yun a bit of a headache.

...

Alpha Dimension, Human Realm, Canglan Star, outside Lanyu City.

"boom--!"

The wooden door shattered with a crack, and various fine wood chips flew inward with the airflow.

One of the wood chips silently grazed the woman's cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

But this did not shake the woman's resolute expression.

He still gripped the knife tightly in his hand.

"Hmm, she is indeed quite attractive. Although she is not as young as the women I met in the brothels in the city, she has her own unique charm."

The burly man spoke flippantly; he must be the one called Tiger.

The thin, weak man beside him, who was shaking his arms and looking exhausted, was probably the one who broke the wooden door, Xiao Teng, who was known as the second brother.

He was also the only cultivator at the second level of the mortal body realm who surpassed everyone else.

The thugs behind the two laughed when they heard this, and some even whistled teasingly.
