401: Black Box, Human Domain

[Seeing this scene, your pupils constrict slightly.]

[Because, looking at it this way, it is highly likely that Ming Lang and Ming Cang have fused into one person.]

[You walk forward slowly to take a look.]

[You discover that the facts are indeed as you imagined.]

[At this moment, the two have completely fused, forming a mass of black mist.]

["It seems this mass of black mist is the Ming Lang I encountered during my last objective."]

["Strange, what is the principle behind this..."]

[You mutter to yourself, beginning to observe the mass of black mist right there on the spot.]

[As time passes bit by bit, the shape of the black mist changes repeatedly.]

[But in the end, it settles into the form of Ming Lang!]

["Cough... cough cough..."]

["Fellow Daoist, what are you trying to do by staring at me like this?"]

[The figure formed by the black mist speaks slowly.]

[Although his voice is still Ming Lang's, both his aura and tone are completely different from the previous Ming Lang.]

[He... must be Ming Cang!]

[A thousand thoughts flash through your eyes.]

[However, after deliberating for a long time, you still speak up: "Ming Cang?"]

["Correct, it is me."]

["I see you have stayed in the Underworld Domain for a long time; could it be that you have some friendship with Ming Lang?"]

[Upon hearing this, you shake your head slightly and state your purpose.]

["Fellow Daoist Ming Cang, I have no relationship with Ming Lang."]

["My purpose for this trip is simply that I see the Underworld Domain is quite powerful, and I want to see if you have any methods to continue making a Breakthrough."]

[Hearing this, Ming Cang's expression flickers.]

[But after deliberating for a moment, he ultimately chooses not to reveal it.]

["This Fellow Daoist, who can break the restriction of the 18th Realm? I fear that even if one were to search the entire Universe, one could not find a Middle Stage 18th Realm existence."]

[Hearing this, you say nothing, simply striking out with a palm, instantly reducing the Ming Cang before you to powder!]

[He lets out a shrill scream, then his Soul returns to the heavens and earth, disappearing before your eyes.]

[After locking onto his aura, you quickly find his place of Rebirth.]

[Without any hesitation, you capture him again.]

["Fellow Daoist, do not be stubborn."]

["Since I could come looking for you, I must know that you have mastered a way to continue making a Breakthrough."]

[Upon hearing this, Ming Cang's face is full of fear.]

[But he still does not tell you the method for a Breakthrough, instead trying every possible way to delay for time.]

[This abnormal behavior immediately makes you realize that something is wrong.]

[You kill him several more times in succession and use the methods of the Thought Clan to begin torturing him, keeping him immersed in that dazed and confused state.]

[Tens of thousands of years pass in a flash.]

[After being tortured by you for a while, Ming Cang finally reveals the Breakthrough method he possesses.]

[Ming Cang tells you that he was actually killed by Ming Lang a million years ago.]

[And it was the kind where both his body and Divine Soul were destroyed, never to be reincarnated.]

[But for some reason, a small black box he obtained in his early years preserved his Soul.]

[He was able to survive in it.]

[At first, he did not know the function of the small black box, but as time passed, the small black box invisibly continued to increase his cultivation.]

["Oh?"]

[Ming Cang's words make you feel quite surprised.]

[Immediately, you ask him for the small black box.]

[You sink your Divine Soul into the small black box to sense it.]

[You discover that what Ming Cang said is the truth.]

[The small black box can indeed help others increase their cultivation.]

[It is just that this process is extremely slow, and due to the difference in the essence of life between you and the Underworld Race, the small black box also invisibly brings you rejection.]

[This makes you a bit disappointed.]

[However, a trace of doubt flashes in your eyes.]

[Because the Goblin Clan has the Earth Tower, and the Underworld Race has the small black box.]

[These things can only be used by their own race, but what about the Human Race?]

[Could the Human Race also have something that can bring a massive boost to their own race, thereby allowing them to break through the restriction of the 18th Realm?]

[Thinking of this, you immediately activate Celestial Travel to leave the Underworld Domain.]

[As for the small black box, you keep it in mind but do not take it away.]

[Because the help it gives you at this moment is truly minimal.]

[It is better to leave it to Ming Cang; it can still add a Late Stage 18th Realm combat force to your side, helping you delay those Heavenly Slaves for a while longer.]

[The 180,000th year.]

[Just as you are on your way back to the Human Domain, you inadvertently see a familiar figure.]

[Ye Kai's Clone!]

[He is currently wandering in the Void Realm.]

[You flash your figure, instantly capturing him.]

["Hmm? Who are you?!"]

["Fellow Daoist Ye, do not be anxious; please quickly summon your main body over."]

[You speak with a light smile.]

[Immediately, you tell Ye Kai many things he once mentioned to you.]

[This makes Ye Kai's Clone quite surprised.]

[But after deliberating for a moment, he still decides to summon his main body.]

[Because he needs to travel on foot, Ye Kai's speed is extremely slow.]

[It takes a full five thousand years to find this place.]

["This Fellow Daoist, you are..."]

["I am Su Xuan."]

[You introduce yourself to Ye Kai.]

[And tell him about the times you fought side by side.]

[Because he is a transmigrator, Ye Kai's ability to accept things is very strong.]

[He quickly believes your words and asks what your plans are now.]

[You tell Ye Kai the coordinates of the Desolate Domain and ask him to go there and wait for the appearance of the Desolate Domain.]

[As for yourself, you once again activate Celestial Travel and head straight for the Human Domain.]

[You use world-shaking power to successfully merge the Human Domain, which had been split into four, back together.]

[Those Cultivators from the Immortal, Demon, Monster, and Ghost domains who wanted to stop you are casually struck into powder by you.]

[You begin to explore the Human Domain.]

[You find four more willow leaves.]

[Each one of them allows your cultivation to advance slightly.]

[However, to rely on them to make a Breakthrough is still far, far too insufficient.]

[Ten years later.]

[At this point, you have turned the Human Domain upside down.]

[But what makes you feel disappointed is that, apart from the four willow leaves, you have not found any other useful items.]

[This cannot help but make deep doubts arise in your heart.]

[Could it be that the Human Domain simply does not have anything that can help you break your limits? Or is it that...]

[The things that can help you break your limits are these willow leaves before you.]

[Thinking of this, you begin to study them carefully.]

[The texture of the willow leaves is extremely tough; even an 18th Realm Cultivator cannot destroy them.]
