Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

The smoke of battle on the eastern border gradually dissipated, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing this war-torn land. The evil energy in the air had been completely purified by Lingxi's spiritual plant power, leaving only abundant spiritual energy and the joy of victory. The soldiers of the two-realm legions were clearing the battlefield, incorporating surrendered cultivators and demonic beasts, and moving captured supplies and magical treasures. Every face was filled with a victorious smile—they had finally won this great battle that concerned the survival of the Great Ming Dynasty and the safety of both realms.

Huang Yiming stood on the high ground at the border, clad in a golden dragon robe and wielding the Dragon Spirit Sword. The aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator emanated from him, his gaze fixed on the vast land of the Azure Netherworld, his eyes filled with determination and longing. Five women stood beside him, their expressions gentle yet resolute. The Myriad Realms Mark on their wrists still emitted a faint glow, echoing the Transcendent Crystal and the mysterious jade pendant in Huang Yiming's hands, as if whispering secrets of the myriad realms.

"Yiming, news has come from Blackrock City: the remaining sects in the western part of the Central Mystic Realm, upon learning of the slaying of Demon Abyss and the defeat of the Western Allied Forces, have all sent envoys to Blackrock City to submit, willing to submit to the Great Ming Dynasty and accept its rule." Su Qingyue said softly, holding the communicator, her eyes filled with joy. After this great battle, the prestige of the Great Ming Dynasty reached its peak, the eastern part of the Azure Nether Realm was completely unified, and the remaining sects in the west also submitted one after another, making Huang Yiming's position as the Supreme Lord of the Mystic Realm completely secure.

Huang Yiming nodded, his tone steady: "Alright, Qingyue, you shall immediately return to Black Rock City to receive the sect envoys who have come to submit, implement the system of integrating technology and cultivation, and fully promote modern resources and cultivation resources to the western part of the Azure Netherworld, integrate western commerce and resources, and strengthen our power."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Qingyue responded, turned around, boarded the helicopter, and sped towards Black Rock City.

Huang Yiming turned to Lingxi, his tone concerned: "Lingxi, what exactly is that spiritual energy fluctuation you sensed in the west? Is it the Myriad Realms Relic?" Lingxi nodded, her eyes full of thought: "Yiming, I can sense that the spiritual energy fluctuation is similar to the ancient relics, but purer and more mysterious, carrying a rich aura of the myriad realms. It should be the Myriad Realms Relic. Moreover, it resonates strongly with the Myriad Realms Mark on our bodies, the Transcendent Crystal, and the mysterious jade pendant. I suspect that the relics contain secrets related to the myriad realms, and perhaps even opportunities to improve cultivation."

"Alright, once we return to Blackrock City to consolidate our dynasty's rule, we'll lead the army westward to explore the Myriad Realms Ruins." Huang Yiming's tone was firm. "Now that the system has been upgraded and the prototype of the Myriad Realms Travel has been unlocked, we have the foundation to travel to the myriad realms—as long as we uncover the secrets of the Myriad Realms Ruins, improve our own and the five girls' cultivation, and gather the power of the Myriad Realms Marks, we can unlock the complete Myriad Realms Travel function to deal with the invasion of evil forces from the myriad realms."

Qin Yuling stepped forward and said softly, "Yiming, I have arranged the border defenses, leaving some elite troops to guard the area and prevent any counterattacks from the remaining demon cultivators or the rebel sects in the west. Now we can return to Blackrock City to handle the dynasty's affairs and prepare for our journey to the west to explore the ruins of the myriad worlds."

Huang Yiming nodded, his gaze sweeping over the five women beside him. His tone was gentle: "Alright, let's go back to Blackrock City. You've all worked so hard these past few days—from Yiming Village to the Great Ming Dynasty, from an ordinary mortal to the Supreme Lord of the Mystic Realms, without you, there would be no me today, nor anything we have now. In the future, I will always be by your side, protecting the dynasty, protecting the people of both realms, exploring the secrets of the myriad worlds together, and venturing into a wider world."

The five women, their eyes filled with emotion, tightly grasped Huang Yiming's hand and said in unison, "We will always be by your side, never leaving you, protecting the two realms together, and exploring all realms together!"

Afterwards, Huang Yiming led the five women and the main force of the two-realm legions on their journey back to Black Rock City. The roar of the helicopters echoed through the heavens and earth, reflecting their upright figures and the glorious future of the Ming Dynasty. Along the way, cultivators and commoners of the Azure Netherworld came out of their homes, kneeling to welcome Huang Yiming's return, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor!" Their eyes were filled with awe and gratitude—they knew that it was Huang Yiming who ended the war in the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, bringing peace and tranquility, and also bringing unprecedented opportunities.

Upon returning to Blackrock City, Huang Yiming immediately convened a court assembly to receive the envoys from the western sects who had come to submit. He appointed leaders of the various sects, promoted a system integrating technology and cultivation, established a cultivation academy in the western part of the Azure Netherworld, and popularized modern knowledge and cultivation techniques, ensuring that the opportunities of the dual realms benefited every cultivator and commoner. Yang Xiu, on the other hand, managed the dynasty's internal affairs, coordinated logistics and people's livelihoods, and established a sound management system, making Blackrock City orderly and its people live in peace and prosperity.

Meanwhile, Huang Yiming did not forget to improve his own and the five women's cultivation: he gave the evil artifact he seized from the Demon Abyss to Lingxi for research, attempting to unravel more secrets about the origin of the system and the five women's backgrounds; he cultivated the Dragon Clan's techniques, mastered the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, and his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation became increasingly stable; he also distributed the high-level spiritual herbs and magic treasures he had seized to the five women to help them improve their cultivation—Qin Yuling and Ziyao successfully broke through to the late Golden Core stage, and Yang Xiu, Lingxi, and Su Qingyue also broke through to the mid-Golden Core stage, greatly enhancing the five women's combat power.

A few days later, Su Qingyue returned to Black Rock City after integrating western commerce and resources, and reported to Huang Yiming: "Yiming, western commerce and resources have been fully integrated, modern supplies are being rolled out to the west, the cultivation academy has been built, and the people and cultivators are very supportive of our rule. In addition, I have also learned that the Myriad Realms Ruins in the west are located deep in the Kunlun Mountains in the western part of the Azure Netherworld. The spiritual energy there is abundant, but it is also dangerous, guarded by many powerful demonic beasts and remnants of the demon race."

Huang Yiming nodded, his tone firm: "Alright, tomorrow we will lead the elite of the Two Realms Legion to the Kunlun Mountains to explore the Myriad Realms Ruins. Yu Ling, you will lead the Legion's elite to provide escort; Zi Yao, you will lead the Demon Sect disciples to investigate the area around the ruins and eliminate the guardian demonic beasts and remnants of the demon race; Ling Xi, you will be responsible for sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the ruins and breaking the restrictions; Qing Yue, you will be responsible for coordinating supplies to ensure a smooth journey; Yang Xiu, you will stay in Black Rock City to manage government affairs and prevent any unforeseen events."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the five women replied in unison, and immediately went off to prepare.

That night, Huang Yiming sat on the roof of the palace, toying with the travel crystal and the mysterious jade pendant in his hands. The system's map of the myriad worlds appeared in his mind—the map only showed the outlines of the Azure Netherworld and a few lower-level realms, with most areas shrouded in mist, full of mystery. He could feel the aura of the evil forces from the myriad worlds in the void getting closer and closer, and an even greater crisis was quietly brewing.

He recalled the events of the first eight volumes: from a mortal loser who failed the college entrance exam to awakening a system, redeeming Yang Xiu, befriending five women, gathering heroes from across the land, thwarting the schemes of various sects, destroying the rebellious demon race, unifying the eastern part of the Azure Netherworld, ascending the throne as emperor, upgrading the system, and unlocking the prototype of interdimensional travel… Every step was fraught with difficulties and dangers, and every time he turned the tide in desperate situations. Now, he is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As the Xuanhuan Co-Lord of the Great Ming Dynasty, Huang Yiming has the support of two realms and the companionship of five women. He is no longer that isolated and helpless mortal "loser." Now he has the ability to protect everything he cherishes and the confidence to face the crisis of the myriad worlds.

Just then, five women walked onto the roof and sat down beside Huang Yiming. Yang Xiu gently leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "Yiming, don't think too much. No matter what dangers we encounter in the future, we will always be with you and face all difficulties together." Ling Xi added softly, "Moreover, we have already unlocked the prototype of interdimensional travel. As long as we find the secrets of the interdimensional ruins and improve our cultivation, we can unlock the complete interdimensional travel function, uncover all the truth, and fight against the invasion of evil forces from all dimensions."

Huang Yiming smiled, grasped the hands of the five women, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "That's right, with you all here, I fear nothing. Tomorrow we will march westward, explore the ruins of countless worlds, and begin our own journey across them. I believe that as long as we are of one mind and work together, we will surely unravel all the secrets, protect the people of both worlds, become the supreme rulers of all realms, and let the glory of the Great Ming Dynasty illuminate all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

Moonlight bathed them, and the five women nestled beside Huang Yiming, their eyes filled with longing. The glory of the Great Ming Dynasty had already been forged, and the peace between the two realms had been safeguarded; yet, a wider myriad of worlds awaited their exploration, a more powerful crisis awaited their resolution, and a more glorious future awaited their creation.

The system notification sounded again: "Detected that the host is about to travel to the Myriad Realms Ruins to unlock more secrets of the Myriad Realms, triggering the main quest: Explore the Myriad Realms Ruins in the Kunlun Mountains, obtain the power of the Myriad Realms' origin, enhance the power of the Myriad Realms' imprint, unlock the complete Myriad Realms travel function, and deal with the invasion of evil forces from the Myriad Realms. Quest rewards: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the late Nascent Soul stage, the five women's cultivation levels will break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the system's ultimate secret technique will be unlocked, the Myriad Realms Passage will be opened, and the host can freely travel through the myriad realms."

A flicker of joy flashed in Huang Yiming's eyes as he gripped the teleportation crystal and the mysterious jade pendant in his hand, his gaze fixed on the Kunlun Mountains in the west. He knew that the journey of Volume Nine was drawing to a close, and the journey of the myriad realms in Volume Ten was about to begin. The Azure Netherworld was merely a low-level realm among the myriad realms; there were far greater worlds, more powerful adversaries, and more mysterious secrets waiting for him and the five women to explore and conquer.

As night deepened, the lights of Blackrock City remained bright, reflecting the glory and peace of this dynasty. Huang Yiming sat side by side on the rooftop with five women, gazing at the starry sky, their hearts filled with determination and anticipation. Their legend continued, their journey endless. The myriad world ruins of the Kunlun Mountains concealed the power of the origin of all worlds, and the evil forces of all worlds were quietly approaching—Volume Ten, The Journey Through the Myriad Worlds, officially begins.
