In Tokyo, the dungeon master

"Jingzhi, where is the thing?"

"At the main family in Tokai Prefecture," Shirakawa Keiji stepped forward, handing over an old family book and flipping to the marked location. "It turns out that the main family also had a fragment of the Shikon Jewel, which was lost decades ago. I checked some old records, and it's highly likely that it's still near the main family's Tokai Shrine, possibly related to the main family's Bone-Eating Well."

"The Bone-Eating Well of the Main Clan?"

Gu Meng took the ancient book, remaining outwardly calm but inwardly feeling a little strange.

Is this part of the timeline integration, where it was sewn into the Tokai family along with the Shikon Jewel? Or did it already exist in a parallel world?

He glanced at the book, then got up and walked towards the inner room: "I'll get ready. We'll leave in an hour. You should get ready too."

The moment of twilight had passed, and without any delay, he immediately began to deal with the aftermath of this wave of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Actually, the spirit world is the one that's more mentally exhausted.

One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth; one day on earth is equivalent to one year in the spirit world.

While this claim may be exaggerated, Gu Meng did indeed use the highest speed setting to accelerate the seed's growth.

If someone switches to Gu Meng's perspective in the simulated spirit world, they will find that all the phenomena in the spirit world are moving at an extremely erratic speed.

The movement of Wan Hua and the other two was slow in the spirit world, but fast in reality. It's time for the three Phantom Gods to make their appearance.

Even though it's an illusion, its divine status cannot be weakened; the boasts must be believable.

The imagery is copied from the eighth-order transmuters and ninth-order apostles I've seen, the mythical forms of high-sequence powerhouses, then downgraded to a form that low-sequence extraordinary beings can understand, with a few ancient Egyptian elements added.

No need to sew many, just a token amount will suffice. In any case, there are no demons in this world, and the extraordinary are all blinded by their own seeds. There are no gods who can observe the true time of history.

The final interpretation and the timeline are both on his side.

Closing the ancient book, Gu Meng glanced at it distractedly and thought that integrating the timeline was truly impressive.

The Shikon Jewel appears to have been stitched together perfectly, and has become a true piece of history.

If it weren't for the ancestral book, I wouldn't have been able to influence time so early.

Of course, the lower barrier to entry is relative; the ancestral book certainly doesn't have the same low barrier to entry as the historical records in Jackie Chan Adventures...

These fragments of the Shikon Jewel are useless to others, but after Gu Meng obtains them and refines them, they can be regarded as a new source of magic power—this is just a convenient way of saying it; in reality, it's not that simple.

The Shikon Jewel was born with a backdoor because of his birth, and it is itself a source of magic power.

Unlike normal treasures in the Demon-Slaying Environment that require magic power to activate, the Shikon Jewel fragments are integrated into Gu Meng's existing fragments. By leveraging the power of the Ancestral Book to transform the false into the real, they share the dungeon rewards of the existing fragments. For every bit of magic power invested, there is a hundredfold return.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, if a card's effect is to flip a coin 100 times and get heads every time, you can draw two cards. Looking at the card, it's a terrible card, and putting it in the deck would just pollute the deck. But Gu Meng is the Dark Duelist, so he cheated and always got heads when flipping the coin.

Therefore, this card in his hand is the Pot of Greed.

The Shikon Jewel is that Pot of Greed.

Checking the license plate was useless; they just gave me a shoe shine!

……

An hour later, Gu Meng walked out of the study carrying the Mortal Blade and some small toys.

The blond, dark-skinned Kagamine Shihouin was already waiting at the door, dressed in a smart black suit, pulling two neatly packed suitcases, with an upright posture and a calm expression.

Seeing Gu Meng come out, he bowed slightly: "Ancestor, everything is ready, and the vehicle is waiting outside the door."

Gu Meng glanced at her, then looked at her again. It was strange that she was such a dark-skinned, hot girl, yet so capable.

Does Kagamine really not consider swapping brains with Manka?

What a contrast to that image!

Using a dark-skinned person to pretend to be stupid is such a brilliant move; how did Kagamine come up with this ingenious idea?

Her sister Kyoka and her daughter Shirakawa are still wriggling around, having been imprisoned and beaten by three people to find the Three Phantom Gods. This time, they stayed in Tokyo.

This time, Gu Mengjingyin and Jingzhi are traveling together, making it a three-person event. Jingyin and Jingzhi have both been to the Donghai family's main residence with Wanhua's mother, so they can be considered guides.

Shirakawa Keiji also came over carrying an old cloth bag containing old items and related documents from the Shirakawa family, which might come in handy: "I never thought that in my lifetime I would be able to accompany my ancestor back to his hometown. This is truly..."

The five-hundred-year period has come to an end. We respectfully welcome our ancestor home.

Gu Meng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Let's go."

This is a spontaneous jade-hunting journey.

"Alright!" Shirakawa Keiji replied, taking the lead and walking at the front to guide the way. He didn't forget to turn back and remind him, "Grandpa, slow down, the steps at the entrance are a bit slippery."

Despite being an older actor, he seamlessly transitioned into playing the role of a younger actor carrying bags.

Although everyone knew that Gu Meng wouldn't fall, Jing Zhi's posture was very comfortable and had a peculiar dry humor.

Gu Meng felt that Shirakawa Keiji still retained his charm, which made him even happier.

Kagamine Shihōin silently followed, taking Gu Meng's belongings without touching the Shirakawa family heirloom, the Sukō-ryō-ryō.

Her movements were gentle yet swift, without uttering a single word. Only when Gu Meng reached the door did she reach out and steady herself on the doorframe, whispering a reminder: "Ancestor, be careful."

Gu Meng glanced at her, and was no less impressive than Ahajiyin.

Kagamine and Keiji exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"Gao Te, no wonder he became the son-in-law of the Shirakawa family, the king of gigolos!" / "Gao Te, no wonder she almost became the matriarch of the Shirakawa family, the queen of green tea!"

If Kyoka hadn't been so cowardly, hogging the spot without doing anything, Kagamine would definitely have succeeded.

Gu Meng didn't stop walking, his expression remaining calm. As he passed the two of them, he simply said, "You're both good. Be careful of your surroundings on the road. If anything unexpected happens, stick close to me."

"Don't worry, Ancestor!" Shirakawa Keiji patted his chest. "Thanks to you, Ancestor, my old bones are much lighter now, and I won't hold you back."

Kagamine Shihōin nodded slightly and added, "I have already checked the road conditions and recent weather in Tōkai County and prepared medicines, but they are all unranked medicines, so I don't know how effective they will be."

Kagamine is still an apprentice. She doesn't have a True Seed within her and her magical power is weak, but it's already clear that she has talent in the Witch Path.

After extensive simulations in the spirit world, she has been able to concoct some basic, non-ranked magical potions.

Although it wasn't very useful, the attitude was good.

The fighting stance of Wanhua when they went into the dungeon before was even less meaningful to Gu Meng, but Gu Meng still wanted to praise Wanhua, because at least they still had the awareness and desire to fight.

Basically, except for the first day, Gu Meng's attitude towards her was quite good.

Once you accept that Manhua and the first descendant you saw in your previous life are not the same type of Stand user as that born Holy Knight who embodies the eight virtues and is destined for a high-ranking position, then Manhua is not bad.

After all, Wan Hua has a kind heart and is a good person.

The face also has great stats, a truly remarkable face.

She's still a goddess in the eyes of many young girls... just a bit dull.
