120: Chapter 119 Crossing Boundaries
After Ye Qingxuan broke through his Realm, there were no earth-shattering phenomena around his body, only a few wisps of extremely obscure cultivation fluctuations quietly dispersing.
Qingling on the side instantly sensed the abnormality, and just as she turned her head, she was about to open her mouth to ask.
At this moment, Black and White Impermanence, who had sent Ye Lin off to be reincarnated, had already returned.
At this moment, the two Yin commanders were both controlling their Incarnations with their main bodies' consciousness, and their discernment was extremely strong, seeing through the changes in Ye Qingxuan's Realm at a single glance.
White Impermanence's eyes were filled with astonishment, but he was not surprised; he was clear about Ye Qingxuan's Innate Human Race foundation, and having this Breakthrough was completely normal.
He immediately spoke in praise: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Ye to have already stepped into the Undergoing Tribulation Early Stage. What a great Opportunity, what superb Comprehension Ability!"
Black and White Impermanence nodded repeatedly, their faces filled with approval.
They had seen countless geniuses of the heavens, but this was the first time they had ever encountered someone breaking through from the Body Integration Realm to the Undergoing Tribulation stage so easily.
After hearing these words, Qingling instantly widened her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
She had always thought that Ye Qingxuan was only at the Early-to-Middle Stage of Body Integration cultivation, and never expected that he had quietly broken through to the Undergoing Tribulation stage.
Her gaze instantly turned dangerous, revealing the true nature of the Shangqing Witch, and her small hand directly wrapped around Ye Qingxuan's waist, fiercely pinching him 360 degrees.
However, Ye Qingxuan's Physical Body had been repeatedly tempered through the descent of National Destiny, coupled with the blessing of his Innate Human Race foundation, making it incomparably formidable. Even a High Grade Immortal Artifact would find it difficult to pierce through his defense, and this bit of strength was completely painless.
Ye Qingxuan gently grabbed her small hand and said in a low voice: "I will explain it to you when we go back."
Black and White Impermanence watched the two flirt with each other and smiled inwardly.
Right at this moment, a tremor came from the entire Underworld.
"Hm?! No way?!" Black and White Impermanence thought of something.
White Impermanence looked at the vibrating Underworld heaven and earth and slowly spoke.
"It seems that our Underworld is going to connect with another newborn Minor Thousand Worlds again."
Black and White Impermanence nodded slightly and continued in a deep voice: "Since this world can connect to Reincarnation, we will make arrangements to let the Underworld descend upon that new world and regulate the order of Reincarnation."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Qingxuan suddenly experienced a flash of inspiration.
He immediately spoke to stop the two: "Please stay your steps, two Yin commanders. I wonder if this poor Taoist can accompany you to that Minor Thousand Worlds?"
Qingling on the side instantly reacted, guessing Ye Qingxuan's thoughts, and stared at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Ye Qingxuan felt a slight panic deep down from being looked at, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface, keeping a straight face and feigning calmness.
Hearing this, Black and White Impermanence exchanged glances on the spot, showing tangled expressions.
According to the Underworld's laws, Ye Qingxuan was not a registered Yin deity of the Underworld and had no right to cross boundaries to other worlds via the nether channels; this was inherently a violation of rules.
But on second thought, Ye Qingxuan possessed the Innate Human Race foundation, and cultivating into a Golden Immortal was a nailed-on certainty. Since an Innate Human Race could still be born in this era, who was behind him? It was so hard to guess!
Besides, he was still a Disciple of the Shangqing Sect. Pay attention, it was—Shangqing!
With Ye Qingxuan's potential, his minimum future achievement would also be Daluo, far surpassing the achievements of their main bodies.
The rules of the Underworld were dead, but people were alive. Ordinary Cultivators needed to strictly abide by heavenly laws and earthly statutes, but the one behind Ye Qingxuan was the greatest principle between heaven and earth.
By the way, they could also do a favor for this future mighty figure; why not?
It was just that the Underworld's regulations were a bit tricky to handle.
While Black and White Impermanence were still hesitating and couldn't make up their minds, a covert sound transmission suddenly drilled directly into their Sea of Consciousness.
There were simply three words: Agree to him.
The two instantly exchanged glances and immediately reacted that this was the sound transmission of King Yanluo.
Since their direct superior had personally spoken and tacitly approved, they naturally had not the slightest reservation.
White Impermanence immediately cupped his fists and spoke: "Since it is so, Fellow Daoist Ye, please follow us."
Ye Qingxuan had no extra words, instead tightly holding Qingling's hand with his backhand, and strode to follow behind the two Yin commanders.
Qingling pouted her lips; she was jealous.
Several people quickly arrived at the Ghost Gate, where the Yellow Springs Road extended forward with chilly winds blowing. At the end of the road, a gleam of light penetrated through, which was precisely the channel connecting the Underworld to the newborn world.
Ling Cage World—
Half a year had already passed since Bai Yuekui returned from the National Destiny Space.
During these six months, she went into seclusion day and night, dedicatedly comprehending the Daluo Insight given to her by Ye Qingxuan, and now she had finally thoroughly entered the threshold.
While operating the insight technique to Cultivate, she complained:
"You old Daoist priest, making the Cultivation Technique so obscure and difficult to understand! Only with this old lady's strong enough talent could I enter the threshold. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even touch the threshold after practicing for a lifetime."
Right at this moment, the entire world suddenly emitted a roar, phenomena emerged endlessly on the horizon, heavenly flowers fell in abundance, purple Qi came from the east, and auspicious signs filled the sky, shrouding the heaven and earth.
Within the Void Realm, a huge light-purple vertical pupil slowly emerged.
All living creatures in the world saw this eye, and at the same time experienced a flash of inspiration, giving birth to the same cognitive awareness—Heavenly Dao!
The world will of the Ling Cage World absorbed the reincarnation origin, directly upgrading from a Great World into Minor Thousand Worlds, connecting with the nether Reincarnation, and the power of the Underworld was about to descend upon this world.
The moment the world promoted to Minor Thousand Worlds, the wind and clouds suddenly churned above the original Mount Tai ruins of the Ling Cage World.
The ground split open with huge cracks, and a quaint, gloomy, huge gateway slowly emerged from underground, which was precisely the Ghost Gate.
The Ghost Gate opened with a bang, and the pure Underworld Yin Qi swept across all directions, completely marking the official descent of the Underworld into the Ling Cage World.
The entire heaven and earth was shrouded in a layer of faint, gloomy light.
Previously, the Ling Cage World had suffered from the ravages of the mana ecology and Sustenance-seekers. For a hundred years, the souls of countless dead creatures had mostly been completely devoured, without even the chance of Reincarnation.
Only a small portion of remnant souls managed to escape; now that the world was connected to the Underworld's Reincarnation, these remnant souls finally had a destination.
Such earth-shattering phenomena instantly startled all the cultivation powerhouses of the Ling Cage World.
In the current Ling Cage World, most Cultivators were stuck at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels. Only a handful of people in Longgu Village had cultivated into the Nascent Soul Realm, which could be considered the top combat power of this world.
Sensing the terrifying unusual movement of the Mount Tai ruins, all the powerhouses flew through the air, rushing to the scene to watch for the first time. The Yanhuang high-level officials had long received notification from Bai Yuekui and also turned on satellites to watch.
Bai Yuekui was the fastest, standing in mid-air in front of the Ghost Gate almost in an instant.
Her gaze stared fixedly at the open Ghost Gate, seeing large batches of Underworld Yin soldiers marching out in formation, followed closely by the legendary Black and White Impermanence, the two Yin commanders who governed Yin and Yang.
Everyone's mind trembled, their faces filled with awe, and no one dared to make a sound.
Just as everyone was shocked, two more figures walked out from behind Black and White Impermanence—a man and a woman, with extraordinary temperaments.
Bai Yuekui saw that familiar face clearly, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, subconsciously blurted out: "Qingxuan? Why did you come out from the Underworld? Could it be that you died?"
As soon as these words fell, Qingling's face on the side instantly turned dark in a flash.
Jealousy surged in her heart, and she inwardly complained: You white-haired freak, it's one thing that you miss my family's Qingxuan on ordinary days, but now you actually open your mouth to curse him to death!
Just as Qingling was about to speak and retort, her wrist was suddenly gently pinched by Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan turned his head to cup his fists toward Black and White Impermanence and spoke: "Two Yin commanders, could you allow me some time?"
White Impermanence nodded slightly and exhorted: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Do not delay for too long."
"Many thanks to you both, I will be done very soon."
Ye Qingxuan responded, then held Qingling's hand and steadily walked in front of Bai Yuekui.
The surrounding crowd were all cunning fellows, every single one of them with ambiguous gazes, quietly winking at each other.
Anyone could see that Bai Yuekui had always hidden Ye Qingxuan in her heart, harboring a secret crush for a long time, but had never spoken it out loud.
At this moment, everyone present knew this subtle atmosphere clearly, silently eating melons and watching the show, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle and comical.
Holding Qingling by the hand, Ye Qingxuan walked straight in front of Bai Yuekui.
He couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense in a crowded place, directly releasing his Divine Sense and instantly shrouding the three of them.
The next instant, light and shadow flickered, and the three of them directly teleported to Longgu Village, which was the place where Bai Yuekui usually went into seclusion to Cultivate.
Landing and standing firm, Bai Yuekui's gaze fell at the very first moment on the hands of Ye Qingxuan and Qingling, which were tightly interlocked finger to finger.
She already had the answer in her heart, and looked at Ye Qingxuan with a bit of probing.
Ye Qingxuan nodded gently, tacitly acknowledging the relationship between the two.
At this time, Qingling raised her eyes to look at Bai Yuekui, with a proper smile, and spoke: "Boss Bai, I have long admired your great name."
The two women's gazes met, seemingly peaceful, but actually engaging in a secret confrontation. Ye Qingxuan on the side instantly felt a headache coming on.
What he cultivated was the Xiaoyao Great Dao, paying attention to moving according to one's heart, being open and at ease.
He didn't want to hide things, nor did he want to deceive himself, so he simply brought Qingling over directly to let the two meet and talk things out openly.
Qingling turned her head to glare at Ye Qingxuan, muttering in a low voice: "You big block of wood, your charm is indeed quite great."
Hearing this, Bai Yuekui felt a bit guilty. Now that the legitimate Dao Companion was standing in front of her, she instantly became nervous, only able to look at her nose and let her nose contemplate her heart, not daring to speak much.
Qingling simply and directly reached out to push Ye Qingxuan.
"Get out, we women have secrets between us. You are not allowed to listen, nor are you allowed to peek with your Divine Sense!"
Ye Qingxuan helplessly touched his nose, and could only obediently turn around and walk outside.
Just as he took two steps forward, still thinking of turning back to give a few instructions, Qingling waved her hand at him with an impatient look.
Daoist Ye could only shut his mouth sheepishly, honestly standing outside the courtyard to wait.
This wait lasted for a full kunshi.
Just when Ye Qingxuan was waiting somewhat anxiously, the tightly closed courtyard door slowly opened.
Qingling and Bai Yuekui walked out side by side, and the two were actually holding hands, chatting and laughing all the way. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, looking just like best friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and had an exceptionally good relationship.
Ye Qingxuan stood in place, dumbfounded on the spot right away.
There was only one thought left in his head:
These two people... what on earth is going on?
Ye Qingxuan blankly looked at the scene before him, his face full of astonishment.
He had originally thought that when the two of them were alone talking just now, at the very least they would secretly compete, have an awkward atmosphere, or even stir up some minor conflicts and perhaps fight a physical match.
He had even prepared himself for an Asura field.
As a result, he never expected that in the short span of a kunshi, two people who originally had somewhat subtle barriers would directly become best friends.
Catching a glimpse of his dazed appearance, Qingling couldn't help letting out a chuckle, her expression relaxed and natural, without even the look of jealousy left.
Bai Yuekui also shed her previous nervousness, her eyes open and frank, looking at Ye Qingxuan and shaking her head helplessly.
Holding Bai Yuekui's hand, Qingling walked in front of Ye Qingxuan.
"What are you looking at? What are you standing there stunned for?"
Ye Qingxuan scratched his head, with a face full of bitter laughter.
He cultivated the Xiaoyao Great Dao, seeing through all kinds of Heavenly Dao and human hearts, yet he completely failed to understand the way these two women got along.
The originally most difficult awkward situation to resolve was easily resolved by them cleanly, and their relationship even became increasingly close.
Right at this moment, a message came from the distant Void Realm, which was Black and White Impermanence signaling and urging Ye Qingxuan, indicating that he could not stay in this world for long.
