Chapter 318 Steeling Himself in Mortal Life

“Who says I’m dead… I’m just tired of being spied on and came here to hide!” After another flash of brilliance, the starry sky changed back to the house, and the big yellow dog with a bald head and tail, nodded arrogantly, saying, “Those old monsters who have lived for more than 100,000 years, know who I am. The Soul Bone I gave to you can help you break the restraint of the Law of Heaven, using only half of it. You can bring the rest of the bone to the Demon Realm. When you come across any tricky problems in the outside world in the future, someone will help you.”

“Thank you, boss!” Lyu Liang was thrilled. He seemed to finally get why some people could ignore the Power of Law in the realm, and directly break out with a strength that was mightier beyond their own imagination.

“We’re friends. I’d like to help you. But you should still be careful. My precious body was attracting a lot of greedy people, and they were fighting for it. If it were not for my super powers, I would not have been able to enjoy my life here.” The big yellow dog then said solemnly, “So, you’d better only use it only in an emergency, or else it will surely bring you unnecessary fatal disasters! Besides, even when you complete the cultivation, there is still a time limit for breaking the Power of Law. After you break it once, basically you can’t do it again, within two hours.”

“Well? Yellow starting to show off his history again?” The laughter of the scorpion-tailed woman could be heard.

While Lyu Liang felt fine about that, the big yellow dog flinched instantly. The minute he saw that woman entering, he said flatteringly, “Big sister, you are wrong. Compared with your achievements that year, what I have done is just nothing!”

“Well, since you said that, I do feel I’m old.” The scorpion-tailed woman sighed, her eyes dreamy as if she was recalling something, but then she said to Lyu Liang, “Come on, my husband has been waiting for you for a long time already.”

Lyu Liang already knew that the woman in front of him was the beautiful scorpion lady in the Extra-legal Six People. He did not dare behave casually, and hurriedly bowed to her and said, “Senior, you came all the way to find me? Just transmit a voice message to me, and I’ll be right there. I really don’t want to trouble you!”

The beautiful scorpion lady waved her hand and said, “There is no voice transmission here. Our rule here states that all the people in this place need to behave like a mortal, unless something special happens. Have you ever seen a mortal transmit a voice message?”

“What?” Lyu Liang was stunned by the rule. It was the first time he had heard of it.

“I know you haven’t heard about that. Well, that’s typical. The cultivators in this age are flighty and impetuous. Perhaps we are the only pure land with peace of mind.” The beautiful scorpion lady laughed proudly. Then she turned around and said, “Come on, we need to be quick. I have to cook later!”

Lyu Liang immediately left the house and followed her outside. After one and a half hours, they stopped in an area where there were a lot of light balls. Ancestor Hong Jun was standing there, glancing around. Every now and then, he smiled a knowing smile。

“It is a great honor to meet you, senior Ancestor!” Lyu Liang directly knelt to pay his highest respects. This person had saved him twice, and besides, based on his identity as the Master of Tai Chu, he deserved to be treated in this way.

Ancestor Hong Jun nodded. Then he raised his hand, and lifted Lyu Liang up, using a stream of air, and said, “I accept your kowtow, which means I have already accepted you as my disciple’s disciple. But after this time, there is no need for more etiquette. I asked you to come here today to show you how to improve your power. Look at this!”

Ancestor Hong Jun pointed at the countless light balls around him. Lyu Liang stared intently, and his gaze was fixed.

He discovered that inside those light balls were numerous mortal worlds!

Differing from the world of Beautiful but Evanescent Dream that Zhu Yan had shown him earlier, each light ball had a mortal world with a different lifestyle. Countless mortals were in there, moving and talking. All kinds of scenes were happening, which showed a shocking sense of reality.

“This is… real?” Lyu Liang was totally fascinated by them. As he asked that question numbly, he seemed to understand what he had to do next. His eyes shining, he asked, “Can I… go inside?”

During the test in the civilization remains arranged by Freedom Immortal Emperor, Lyu Liang had an experience in the dreamland for 50,000 years. At that time, even though he was clearly aware that everything was unreal, he did not want to leave, because he did not want to leave his family, and also wanted to see how far he could go. Besides, he felt purer there, as he could revert to his original nature, with his parents.

During that period, he did not pay much attention to the cultivation, neither did he fall behind, while taking his first step in forming a powerful Taoist Heart instead! However, he knew that was purely illusory, and he had to go to the Heaven Realm to help Zhu Yu afterwards, as well as having some other important things to deal with… He just did not get another chance to go in there for cultivation anymore.

When he returned to reality, he felt that he would probably make some surprising achievements, if he could experience the virtual reality again, whole-heartedly.

Seeing those mortal worlds at the moment, Lyu Liang was thrilled. When he saw the real scenes in them, an impulse to join them rushed directly to his Divine Soul!

“It seems that you’ve had a similar experience before. You should miss that, right?” Ancestor Hong Jun saw his expression and realized what he had gone through. He said with a smile, “Haha, this is the Boundless Samsara World created by Six Tao that year. You can choose one and go in there to live as a mortal. During that time, you won’t remember anything about the reality, unless you die there and come back to this place. Then you can taste everything that you’ve experienced there. As to what you will get, it’s not my place to tell you. You just have to follow your own heart and feel it.”

“Thanks for your kindness, senior Ancestor!” Lyu Liang bowed to him again with great respect, “Can I choose one now? Or there are rules or limitations I need to know first?”

Ancestor Hong Jun nodded and said, “Your whole life in each world will only last one year in reality, and after you get out, you can only enter another one, a year later. There is one thing I need to warn you. Be careful of those ‘strayers’. You can die a natural death there and come back, but if you get lost due to temptation or attacks, that those losers who brought you, you are probably going to become just like them. Then, your Divine Soul will be trapped there, and suffer the endless pain of samsara, and never come back.”

“Strayers? Who are they? Do they have any features?” Lyu Liang was stunned, not realizing that there were such kind of people in the mortal world.

Ancestor Hong Jun smiled lightly. Then he shook his head and said, “They are just a bunch of people who have lost their original aspirations in the process of toughening their hearts in the mortal world. They’ve already become slaves of power and lust, but so long as you are upright and won’t submit to the bad practices there, they are just nobodies to you.”

“So, they were also cultivators, huh?” Lyu Liang got it, and then said with a sigh, “So pathetic!”

Ancestor Hong Jun, who’d been calm all this while, suddenly had an excited light in his eyes after hearing what Lyu Liang said. He laughed and said, “Hahaha! Interesting! That’s Interesting! You point to one light ball, and then you can go inside. Let me see what kind of principled person you will be, and what inspiration and achievements you are going to get!”

“I don’t want to be a pawn anymore, and also will never let the people closest to me, down!” Lyu Liang nodded. After another bow with cupped fists, he directly pointed to a ball that was nearest to him. The next second, he was completely gone.

“I kind of insisted for more than 400 times that year. I don’t know how many times he is going to insist.” The big yellow dog appeared on the spot, with an expression of recalling that period.

“500 times. You want to bet?” Ancestor Hong Jun gave him a meaningful smile.

“500 times?! You are thinking this man could… Fine, forget it. I used to win every time in the outside world, but in this place, I always lose!” The big yellow dog shook his head directly, and rejected the proposal, as if he had totally lost confidence in his luck there. But, he still asked curiously, “Is he really that good?”

“Blade or Six Tao, do you still remember their special way to get the Tao?” Ancestor Hong Jun nodded and said approvingly, “It seems that he is cultivating in the same way! Tai Chu really has good judgment! I kind of feel that he will be another legend once he successfully toughens his heart!”

…

Inside the secret top attic of the headquarters of the Hell Organization in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa, there were some people discussing something.

“Although we’ve suffered a great loss, Blade came back safely. And that vow he gave Lyu Liang, has also been brought back by Zangetsu… well!” The bald man said in a deep voice, “But, I still feel we’ve missed something…”

“The vow has been brought back, but Blade’s Taoist Heart is just stable on the surface. Besides, as the timing of his rebirth has been brought forward, it seems that the memory of his previous life in his two souls has not been completely erased! Until now, he is still unwilling to clear everything in the Virtual Land!” Feng Nishang said furiously, with such an intention to kill Lyu Liang. “Lyu Liang! He is just a kid in the Mortal World, and was used by us as a pawn. How could he be favored by Ancestor Hong Jun and Tai Chu… Lutian, we have to kill him! Blade’s Taoist Heart is unstable. That is mostly because of him! I don’t want him to be a destabilizing factor again for the entire situation, when Six Tao also starts his incarnation!”

The bald man narrowed his eyes and nodded. He said, “Yes… We must try our best to find a chance to exterminate him before he gets out of our control! But after this battle, we’ve lost too much Primordial Qi. I’m afraid we will not be able to fight within a short time! Besides, the Tianji Astrolabe lost its controller again…”

After hearing that, Feng Nishang turned his head slightly. Looking up at the astrolabe which was already totally dark, he said with a snort, “Humph! Tianluo Xing is nothing compared to Blade’s safety. Anyway, he is just the controller, and will never be its keeper! Six Tao left one soul behind. He must have predicted that. As for Lyu Liang, I don’t think he will come out of that place anytime soon. While we are recovering, he is also improving himself. I have no idea how powerful he will be, when we confront him again!”

“Yes, he reminds me of Blade and Six Tao in the early days, with both his infinite mercy and rock-firm will…” The bald man sighed with emotion, and then asked, “Candidates for Saint God, you really want those two kids to join? Their power…”

“Don’t worry. They won’t let us down!” Feng Nishang nodded confidently, and continued saying in a deep voice, “One is destined to be Lyu Liang’s old enemy during his whole life! The other one is still unable to fight all by himself, but in future, he is going to be great! Let’s wait and see! How would Lyu Liang feel when he finds that his little brother is trying to kill him?”

The bald man nodded in agreement. Later, they did not have any more business here and disappeared gradually.

Inside the huge, dark astrolabe, Tianluo Xing was naked and his body had withered. Only his eyes, which were empty and deep, seemed to be still shining with the fire of desire that had not completely disappeared, even after his death…

…

There was a vague, black cave inside an unknown place in the universe. Inside a deep, dark pool sat a youth, who gave out a black aura. He was a handsome, black man and blended quite well with the entire scene.

Opposite the pool, the doubled-headed dhuta who had been missing for a long time after the battle in the Nether Big World, was there and reporting something respectfully. The awe in his eyes showed that the black youth in front of him, was actually a powerful figure.

“Ancestor, that’s all about the battle. Especially in the end, Kong Liang and the other people entered that deathtrap by accident. They did not get hurt, but the essence of the Black Lotus was taken away from them. That’s almost the biggest failure for us… ah!” The doubled-headed dhuta sighed, feeling really pained.

“Haha, that doesn’t matter. Even if my old friend could gather all the four kinds of essences, the seven lotus leaves that have been lost in the outside world, are not that easy to get back, either.” The youth said in an old voice, which was quite disproportionate to his appearance. “It’s okay. Thank you for your hard work.”

“The problem about Lyu Liang… He seems to have affected senior Blade a lot in his Taoist Heart. Before the Hell Organization recovers its Primordial Qi, should I…” The doubled-headed dhuta made a gesture of slitting the throat. Then he waited silently for the youth to make a decision.

“You don’t need to do that. I’ll find a more appropriate person to do that.” The black youth said slowly. “There is a new job for you. In the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa, those two families are making early-stage preparations for the plan, and now their work is at a critical stage. But the stupid kid in the Kong Family is such an idiot. He even gave the Dragon Ring to a woman! You know how to handle that, right? That’s your kind of thing!”

“I get it! Women are always a problem, so they’d better disappear forever!” The doubled-headed dhuta said maliciously. Then he seemed to recall something, and added, “Ancestor, I have a feeling that next time Lyu Liang is out, he will not be an person easy to deal with as before! Especially since he could control the Spirit Swallowing Bugs…”

“Is it easy to defeat him before?” The black youth waved his hand and said indifferently, “Just go. Don’t worry about Lyu Liang. You only need to take care of everything in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa. Although your arrangements are okay, there is one thing you need to pay attention to. That girl has a sensitive identity. Try to kill her without leaving any trace behind. That old guy, the head of the Liu Family, is not an easy person to deal with!”

“Yes, sir!” The doubled-headed dhuta answered respectfully. After bowing to the youth a couple of times, he walked backward out of the cave.

“My old friend, this time, I assume you will win! But, later, I won’t give you any chance! I’ll be sure to let you know, my ideal peaceful world is just the real pure land in the world!” The black youth laughed, as if he was really happy. The next second, there was a flash of black light, whereupon he changed into a stonefish with fins on his back, and swam toward the bottom of the pool…
