Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 168 A battle is inevitable between the human realm and the Nine Netherworld!
Li Yueyao had seen countless vengeful spirits and ghosts. These kinds of spirits were most common in certain ancient secret realms. They were often the manifestation of resentment from people in their previous lives, or the obsessions of powerful people after their fall.

It is said that people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of people.

At the same level, ghosts don't dare to approach cultivators at all, as they would be injured by the power of their qi and blood.

Of course, those fierce and malevolent ghosts are different; they possess a strong resentment that can resist the power of a cultivator's blood and qi.

However, most of these spirits only affect the living at the level of the soul, that is, they cause hallucinations. The ghosts that can actually cause real harm are those that have already become powerful and are at least equivalent to cultivators in the Opening Acupoint Realm.

Jiuyou looked at Li Qiye, remained silent for a moment, and said, "To be precise, I should call you living beings, not dead beings."

"But I don't want to lie to you, so I can only say that you are not living people..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye frowned, but said nothing, knowing that Jiuyou had more to say.

as predicted.

Jiuyou paused for a moment, then continued, "But you are not truly dead; you could say you are somewhere between the living and the dead."

"In this world, you are undoubtedly living people, but once you go to the human world, also known as the mortal realm, you become dead, what they call spirits or ghosts."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye took a deep breath, as this was roughly the same as his guess.

What he said back then did, to some extent, change the rules of this world.

His words influenced the will of heaven and earth in this world, which is now the Nine Netherworlds.

Moreover, the fusion of the worlds of the Divine Tomb ultimately created this strange world.

The so-called boundary between life and death, and the boundary between death and life!

To humans, this is the Netherworld, the realm of death, but to native beings like Li Qiye, it is the realm of life!

"By the way, what is that human world like?"

Li Yueyao couldn't help but ask.

Even though she had lived for over 30,000 years in her previous life and had countless experiences, this was the first time she had come into contact with such a shocking secret.

No matter how many secret realms I visited or how many ancient books I read before, I had never heard of such a claim.

She never imagined that she would be living in the Nine Netherworld, the legendary realm of the dead.

"The human realm is not much different from the current Netherworld, except that the human realm has more yang energy."

"With your strength, if you were to go to the human realm, you could only come out at night, otherwise you would be burned by the scorching yang energy."

"Especially you, who possess the Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body..."

Jiuyou looked at Li Yueyao and said calmly.

Li Yueyao also knew that her constitution was an extremely Yin Divine Demon Body, extremely Yin and dark, and that Yang energy was her natural nemesis.

"And what about me?"

Qin Linglong looked at Jiu You, blinked, and asked.

"The Frost Spirit Body is better."

Jiuyou looked at Qin Linglong and said, "Although you also have a Yin-cold constitution, you are also considered to have an immortal constitution to a certain extent, so the Yang energy has little effect on you."

Frost Elemental Body?
Upon hearing this, Li Qiye and Li Yueyao both looked at Qin Linglong with surprise.

She actually possesses the Frost Spirit Body!
Frost Spirit Body!
This is one of the special constitutions, and it is said that an ancient fairy possessed this constitution, which is why the world knows how powerful it is.

"She's different from the one in the original story; she's changed a lot. It seems she's encountered a great opportunity on this trip to the Northern Frontier..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qiye's eyes.

In the original novel, Qin Linglong did not possess any Frost Spirit Body; she simply had an extremely ordinary physique.

"And you, Li Qiye..."

Jiuyou looked at Li Qiye, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't say for sure either. We'll have to go there to find out."

"With our strength, can we still go to the human realm?"

Li Qiye frowned slightly, understanding the implication in Jiu You's words. "Of course."

Jiuyou nodded and said seriously, "It will only take a little effort. Going to the mortal realm has little to do with your strength. Even the weakest creatures can go to the mortal realm."

"However, going to the human realm still depends on luck. If you are unlucky and encounter a bright, sunny day, you will be burned by the yang energy and turned into nothingness, vanishing into thin air."

After hearing this, Li Qiye fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he spoke up: "By the way, I have another question. Since we are beings in the realm of the dead, beings between life and death, then what about the spirits in this world?"

"It's hard for me to explain this clearly. You might understand when you go to the human world."

Jiuyou pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"From what you're saying, it sounds like you really want us to go to the human world?"

Li Yueyao suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Not bad!"

Jiuyou looked at Li Qiye and said, "To be precise, I want Li Qiye to go. The reason is that there is bound to be a great war between the human world and the Nine Netherworld. If we can learn more about the human world, it will be beneficial to us."

Jiuyou directly stated the reason without hiding anything.

Li Yueyao and Qin Linglong didn't find anything wrong with what they heard, after all, it was Li Qiye, not the two of them, who had a relationship with Jiuyou.

"Is a war between the mortal realm and the Netherworld inevitable?"

Li Qiye frowned.

To be honest, he felt that the Netherworld was quite nice and there was absolutely no need to go to the mortal realm.

But if what Jiuyou said is true, then our peaceful life will be disrupted sooner or later, and the reality will be incredibly cruel.

The thought of a war between these two realms is terrifying. Ordinary beings would suffer devastation, and even powerful beings at the Emperor Realm would likely perish.

"So, Jian Wuhen, Fenghuang Nishang, and the others went to the mortal realm to prepare for this?"

"Not bad!"

Jiuyou nodded, a hint of seriousness on his youthful face: "The power of the human world is incredibly strong. The Buddha from back then is still alive and has been searching for your whereabouts."

The image of that enormous golden Buddha's palm flashed through Li Qiye's mind, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Damn it, that old bald monk is too long-lived; he hasn't died yet."

Li Qiye cursed inwardly.

Then Li Qiye looked at Jiuyou and asked with a smile, "By the way, how did you become the daughter of the Martial Maniac? And how did you end up appearing in front of us?"

"Was this simply altering the madman's memories, or some other method?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "I altered some of his memories. As for the other methods, I cannot disclose them."

"Can't we just say it?"

Li Yueyao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although she didn't understand why Jiuyou, who was the will of heaven and earth, would appear in front of Li Qiye in this way.

However, Li Yueyao knew in her heart that Jiuyou had definitely used the fantasy magic cultivated by the martial arts fanatic to descend into this world.

She even suspected that the madman's acquisition of the Daoist arts might be a trick of the Nine Netherworlds, designed to allow him to descend upon the world in the future.

As for the reason why she couldn't say, Li Yueyao recalled the terrifying bolt of lightning that struck when she wanted to tell her brother Qi Ye about the Dao of Imagination. It must have been a warning from Jiu You.

Now, Jiuyou himself is hiding this fact. Why is that?

What are the problems with utopian Taoist practices?
Why can't Brother Qiye know?
"The essence of the Daoist art of fantasy is... fantasy..."

Li Yueyao's eyes flickered as she thought about these things.
