Xu Ying shook his head and said, "I don't want to be different from everyone else. I still prefer to blend in with everyone else."

Da Zhong probed, "Is your blending in just a literal blending, or is it really blending in?"

He felt that this young man's blending in seemed different from everyone else's.

Xu Ying said, "The Mud Pill Secret must be opened. I think since the cultivation systems of Qi Refiners and Nuo Masters are completely different, then practicing both of them won't contradict each other. So I want to practice both."

Da Zhong was stunned.

Aren't Qi Refiners and Nuo Masters supposed to have a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority? How can there be a reason to practice both?

And wouldn't practicing both conflict with each other?

After Xu Ying walked into Qin Yan Cave, he looked puzzled and thought, "Strange, how did Zhou County Magistrate find this place when the underworld invaded and the nearby geography changed drastically?"

Not long after he left, there was a rustling sound in the mountains and forests, and many small green-clothed people about a foot tall ran all over the mountains.

These small green-clothed people were thin and wore blue-green clothes. They wore pointed hats and grass shoes, and each one was shrewd and capable. When they arrived somewhere, they looked around and searched in all directions.

This was Zhou Family's Nuo Art, where everything in nature was turned into soldiers.

The small green-clothed people were soldiers made from plants and trees, given life by the Nuo Art, used for assassination or reconnaissance.

Zhou Family's Great Nuo could even use this Nuo Art to create a large army and overwhelm the enemy with absolute numbers.

Suddenly, a small green-clothed person inadvertently looked up and saw Zhou Yang nailed to the cliff, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise. Other small green-clothed people immediately swarmed over, and they all spoke an incomprehensible language, piled up together, and climbed the cliff.

They cooperated with each other, pulling out swords one by one, and carried Zhou Yang's body into the forest.

In the evening, the small green-clothed people carried Zhou Yang's body over the mountains and came to Yilin Temple. Yilin Temple was originally very close to Wuwang Mountain, but due to the invasion of the underworld and the collision between the underworld and the mortal world, many mountains and rivers appeared out of nowhere, and not only did Wuwang Mountain become Wumang Mountain, but Yilin Temple was also sent forty miles away.

Most of the area between the two places was the territory of the underworld, and the road was difficult and dangerous, making it difficult to travel.

The small green-clothed people carried Zhou Yang's body into Yilin Temple, and Zhou Yihang's old eyes were filled with tears as he trembled and reached out to close Zhou Yang's eyes.

"Don't let the wind disturb my son's ghost," he instructed the officials around him, ordering them to close the doors and windows tightly.

At night, when the underworld invaded, Zhou Yang's ghost floated and stood in front of his own body, with his ghostly feet connected to his body.

Originally, ghosts were invisible to the naked eye, but after the invasion of the underworld, reality was disturbed, and ghosts could also be seen at night.

Zhou Yang's ghost shouted, "Xu Ying killed me, and my father will avenge me!"

Zhou Yihang wept bitterly and choked, "My son, don't worry. Your father will definitely kill this beast and use his head to pay tribute to you! "

Zhou Yang's resentment slightly weakened, "The cold wind is hurting me."

Zhou Yihang wiped away his tears and said, "I have already ordered someone to make a statue of you, and when the statue is made, I will cover it with gold leaf and make a golden body for you. After your seventh day of death, I will let the common people of Lingling City worship you. In a few years, you will become a god! You and I, father and son, can meet again!"

Zhou Yang cried and kowtowed.

Zhou Yihang closed the door, his face dark, and looked towards Wumang Mountain, muttering, "Wumang means disaster. The so-called Wumang means disaster and chaos. Xu Ying, even if you have the talent to reach the heavens, I will still take your life and avenge my son! The name Wumang means that disaster is coming to you!"

At the foot of Wumang Mountain, Xu Ying saw that Yuan Qi was still undergoing metamorphosis, so he slipped out of Qin Yan Cave to see the Nai River.When the sun set, the Nai River appeared again, surging and flowing with a spooky atmosphere. Many things in the Wumo Mountains ran out, flying around everywhere. Some things crawled out of the barren graves, calling for friends and drinking.

Xu Ying saw a village at the foot of the mountain, with bright lights and a wealthy family hosting a banquet. He was surprised, "Why didn't I see this village during the day?"

There was no food in Qin Yan's cave, and he caught fish in the water and picked fruits from trees for his three meals a day. Although he could eat his fill, he felt empty without rice or flour.

He approached the village, and the villagers had no ghostly aura and were very hospitable, inviting him to dine with them. The village had many handsome men and beautiful women, and an old man acted as a matchmaker, wanting to arrange a marriage for him with a beautiful girl.

Xu Ying blushed and stuttered, "I have no dowry..."

"Why need a dowry?" The old man stroked his black beard and laughed, "If I ask for a dowry, wouldn't I be selling my daughter? That's immoral. In my family, the groom pays the dowry. If you are willing, I can give you two shops and a set of houses in the bustling streets of Yongzhou City, plus five hundred taels of silver."

Xu Ying was tempted and went to see the girl from the Hu family. He found her even more charming and beautiful. He was about to agree when suddenly a woman's voice came from outside the village, "A bunch of foxes, how dare you deceive ignorant young men? Do you really think no one can deal with you? Get out of here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of the villagers changed drastically. They all grew yellow fur and turned into foxes, scurrying around and hiding in the houses.

Xu Ying sighed regretfully and thought, "If I could get two shops and a set of houses, and marry a beautiful fox girl, what harm would there be in being an ignorant young man?"

He had at least had a good meal and thanked the hiding foxes, "Thank you all for your hospitality. I am Xu Ying, the demon king of Wumo Mountain. We are all neighbors, no need to be nervous."

A fox came out of a house, stood up like a human, and bowed, "So it's King Xu. Sorry, sorry. We are wild foxes in the mountains. We saw King Xu's heroic spirit when he killed the enemy, and we wanted to propose marriage."

"Those who don't know are not guilty. If the old man still wants to marry his daughter, I can do it." The young man's eyes sparkled.

The old fox nodded and did not dare to mention it again.

Xu Ying sighed regretfully and left the village, following the voice of the woman. After a while, he saw a black coffin standing by the Nai River, with long chains hanging down to the water's edge.

A young girl sat in front of the black coffin, holding her knees and looking up at the moon.

Xu Ying looked up and saw a bright moon as big as a bowl hanging on the opposite bank of the Nai River. The moonlight was quiet and not like the human world.

Under the moonlight, the girl was even more beautiful.

Xu Ying's heart was pounding, and he quietly called out to Da Zhong twice, but there was no response. It seemed that Da Zhong had died. However, this big clock used to chatter incessantly, urging Xu Ying to cultivate well so that he could steal his Qi and blood, and use him like a donkey to grind.

"Da Zhong is so magnanimous again."

Xu Ying regained his composure, walked up, and bowed, "Thank you for speaking up, or I wouldn't have realized they were a group of fox demons."

The girl in the coffin looked at him with a gentle gaze and spoke in a soft voice, "You didn't see them because you haven't cultivated the Heavenly Eye yet. Your eyes contain divine light, and you can observe the sun and moon internally. You can use your mind to polish the mirror, and the three lights will converge at your brow. That's the secret of the Heavenly Eye."

Xu Ying listened and asked, "The divine light refers to the divine sense, and observing the sun and moon internally refers to the eyes. Polishing the mirror with the mind means using the divine sense as a mirror, and the three lights are the light of the sun, moon, and what else?"

The girl was surprised and said, "Your understanding is very good. There is another light in the indentation of your brow, called the Heavenly Light. If you concentrate, let your divine sense be between the sun and moon, and remember the secret of polishing the mirror, you can open the Heavenly Eye and see through the changes of demons and monsters."She spoke while Xu Ying worked.

Xu Ying focused his mind and entered the domain of Xi Yi, floating between the sun and the moon. He trained his consciousness until it became as clear as a mirror.

Suddenly, a light shone from above, the third light!

At the same time, he opened his eyes and saw the outside world through his left and right eyes, reflecting it in the domain of Xi Yi. The light from his eyes shone on the mirror of his consciousness, and touched the light from the sky, causing a change!

Looking towards the light, the world changed before Xu Ying's eyes!

He saw a boundary line between the underworld and the mortal world on the right bank of the Nai River, like the dawn and dusk line where night and day meet.

At the place where the underworld and the mortal world collided, there was a huge crack, where the space and earth of the two worlds collided and squeezed against each other, creating a terrifying scene!

Xu Ying and the girl in the coffin were at the edge of the crack!

The crack continued to expand!

There was a huge roar from the crack, like the roar of a monster. Xu Ying looked down and saw a huge, slippery body moving in the crack, as if a giant creature was trapped underground and trying to break free.

But every time he looked closely, he only saw scales of huge rocks.

He could also clearly see the invasion of the underworld and the ghosts wandering in the Nai River!

Xu Ying's heart pounded, "Being able to see ghosts and gods with the Heavenly Eye may not be a good thing."

The ghosts maintained their appearance before death, and some of their death scenes were too frightening, which could easily scare their own souls.

Therefore, people who practice the Heavenly Eye cannot open it frequently, as it not only easily attracts ghosts, but also easily disturbs themselves and makes their souls uneasy.

Moreover, using the Heavenly Eye causes great damage to the consciousness. Xu Ying currently did not know how to train his consciousness to make it stronger, so he cannot open the Heavenly Eye all the time.

Taking advantage of his consciousness still being able to hold up, he looked at the girl in the coffin and couldn't help but be shocked.

The girl said, "Did you see it all?"

Xu Ying nodded, and saw another girl sitting behind the girl in the coffin, like a mountain, sitting in the air, giving people an immense feeling!

The appearance of the godly person was similar to the girl, but her whole body was shining brightly, and her radiance was dazzling!

The light that emanated from her body could be seen as thin as hair, but as slender as a ruler!

She did not touch the ground, and there was a cloud under her body, floating in the air, seemingly vast and boundless, but did not occupy any space.

There was a ribbon of light formed by the divine light behind her, not tied to her body, but floating in the air.

The girl in the coffin had a charming and lovely temperament, while the godly person behind her showed a majestic and sacred aura, which was unapproachable!

Xu Ying suppressed his shock and asked, "What is behind you?"

"Elemental Spirit. You will have one in the future," said the girl.

"I will have one?" Xu Ying was both shocked and happy.

"You are currently in the Qi Gathering period, gathering the essence of the sun to nourish your body, soul, and vitality. When you enter the First Barrier period, you will open the Tailgate Xuan Barrier, open the door to refining Qi, and travel the Milky Way. Then you will enter the Refining period, where you will refine the elixir with the Samadhi Divine Water and Samadhi True Fire. After that, you will enter the Second Barrier period, open the Spinal Cord Barrier, and increase your lifespan."

The girl continued in a casual tone, "Then you will enter the Heavy Building period, leap over the twelve floors. The Jade Pool period, where you will be reborn and cultivate your Elemental Spirit. The Divine Bridge period, where you will fly over the bridge and pass through the Heavenly Gate. Then you will enter the Third Barrier period, open the Jade Pillow Tian Barrier, and receive the blessings of heaven."

Xu Ying listened intently and asked, "What's next?"

"Then you will ascend to become an immortal. However, this path has been blocked by a wicked person, cutting off the path to immortality."A hint of sadness appeared in the girl's eyes, but she quickly composed herself and looked towards the Wumang Mountain in the night, asking, "Do you know what Wumang means?"

Without waiting for Xu Ying's answer, she continued, "Wumang means unexpected. It refers to an unexpected encounter. I thought I was the only Qi cultivator in the world, but I didn't expect to meet you. We are of the same kind."

She smiled and said, "I never thought that after three thousand years, there would still be people walking on the path of Qi cultivation. My way is not lonely."

Standing in front of the black coffin, she said, "Three thousand years ago, I put my boat on the Naihe River. Three thousand years later, I came to this place by boat. My boat has arrived."

As she spoke, the Naihe River suddenly became turbulent, and a huge wave rose up. Suddenly, a building-sized ship broke through the water and jumped out of the river!

On the deck of the ship, hundreds of skeletons held swords and hooks, fighting each other. They were all stunned when the ship that had been sailing in the water for thousands of years suddenly emerged.

The girl flicked her sleeve and said coldly, "You ghost thieves dare to occupy my treasure ship. Get out of here!"

With a wave of her sleeve, the skeletons on the ship flew up and fell into the Naihe River.

The girl floated up and landed on the bow of the ship. Xu Ying stood on the bank of the Naihe River and saw the ship surging towards him. Water from the Naihe River kept pouring down from the deck like a waterfall, creating a strong sense of oppression.

The ship suddenly stopped, and the girl poked her head out of the bow and said with a smile, "I'm going to do something big tonight, and I need a helper. We met unexpectedly, so it must be fate. Come with me to do this big thing. Don't worry, I'll send you back after dawn."

Xu Ying jumped up and landed on the ship, asking with a smile, "What is it?"

"Sending off spirits."
