Simultaneous Transmigration: Both Start in a Near-Death State

The golden light dissipated.

Those bandits who practiced evil magic were all reduced to ashes, utterly and completely dead.

Li Ke nodded in satisfaction as he observed the effects of the spell.

If you keep studying it, you might just be able to advance to supernatural powers.

With a thought, Li Ke leaped away and flew off.

A month later.

Li Ke saw the stone tablet ahead.

It says three words: Guobei County.

Upon seeing this, Li Ke's eyes lit up.

I've finally found you.

Just as Li Ke was about to look around to see where Lanruo Temple was, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began.

Li Ke flashed into a thatched and wooden pavilion.

"kill!!!"

A furious roar rang out.

Two groups of people appeared outside the pavilion.

They rode on large horses, wielding sharp weapons, and charged towards each other.

Ding ding ding!

puff puff!

Li Ke stood quietly in the pavilion, watching the fierce battle between the two groups of men outside.

Li Ke was already used to this kind of thing.

As the court declines and the dynasty is on the verge of collapse, not only do demons and monsters begin to appear, but people's hearts also begin to fall into chaos.

Don't be fooled by their ruthless fighting style; they're like seasoned notorious bandits.

But is that really the case?

Among these people, there may be some who were farmers just a few months ago.

They could have struggled to survive on the land, barely making ends meet, but once they encountered natural disasters or man-made calamities, that fragile balance would be broken.

In order to survive, some people, driven by desperation, will take to the mountains and become outlaws.

Some time has passed.

The battle is over.

One of the teams emerged victorious.

The leader of the group raised his broadsword, laughing loudly, and said, "Brothers, from now on, we'll be collecting the tolls for Guo Bei County!"

"The Boss is brilliant!"

"Long live the Boss!"

"The boss..."

……

Hearing his men cheer, the leader smiled broadly.

Suddenly, he turned to look into the pavilion.

"Young master, did you hear what I just said?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke pointed to himself and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

One of the henchmen immediately roared, "Am I talking to you or a ghost? Hurry up and hand over the toll!"

Li Ke smiled.

He shook his head: "It's a good thing you ran into me."

The leader burst into laughter: "What? What trouble could there be with you?"

Everyone laughed when he said that.

Li Ke laughed and said, "I will give you a quick death."

As soon as he finished speaking, golden swords of light materialized out of thin air in front of Li Ke.

The leader's expression changed drastically.

He was about to say something when he saw his head fly high into the air.

His eyes saw a golden lightsaber spinning rapidly at his neck.

In an instant, all the bandits present died.

Li Ke sighed, "He's determined to die; there's nothing we can do about it."

As he spoke, his telescope activated.

Li Ke surveyed the surroundings.

Soon, he saw a dilapidated ancient temple.

Outside the ancient temple is a stone tablet with three characters written on it: Lanruo Temple.

Void Escape Technique!

In the blink of an eye, Li Ke arrived outside Lanruo Temple.

Although it was still raining, it was still daytime.

However, Lanruo Temple appeared gloomy and filled with a heavy yin energy.

Li Ke looked at Lanruo Temple and instantly realized what made it special.

The boundary between Yin and Yang!

Li Ke wondered to himself, "If I were to escape into the underworld from here, would I be able to find the Black Mountain Demon directly?"

He thought about it and decided against it; the underworld was vast, no less than the Calabash Mountains.

It's simpler to just follow the plot.

Li Ke stepped into the temple.

He pushed open the main hall door and saw a broken ancient Buddha sculpture sitting in the hall.

Looking at the dilapidated ancient Buddha, Li Ke shook his head: "It's just a clay sculpture."

Just then, a figure jumped out from behind the ancient Buddha sculpture and landed in front of Li Ke.

This man carried a sword case on his back, wore simple clothes, and had a scruffy beard; he looked quite intimidating.

He stared at Li Ke.

Li Ke also stared at him.

Suddenly, he said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "Why would I want to film it?"

He suddenly turned around and said, "Lanruo Temple is haunted. You delicate rich young master would better leave before it gets dark."

Li Ke said, "They're just ghosts. I've killed plenty of them."

The man turned around again and looked Li Ke up and down.

The man couldn't discern Li Ke's cultivation level.

He said, "Are you just boasting?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "I never boast."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke was enveloped in golden light.

The man's eyes widened: "Golden Light Spell?"

At this moment, how could he not understand that the person in front of him, though young, was actually a great cultivator whose cultivation level surpassed his own?

He quickly replied, "My name is Yan Chixia, greetings, senior."

Li Ke immediately jumped aside and waved his hand, saying, "I'm still too young to be a senior."

Yan Chixia was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "How old are you this year?"

Li Kegang wanted to say that he was not even two years old yet, but after thinking about it, he realized that two years old was still too young.

So Li Ke said, "Eighteen."

Yan Chixia was shocked: "Eighteen?!"

He thought to himself, "Refining the spirit to return to emptiness at eighteen? Is that even possible?"

When that master taught Yan Chixia the Daoist arts, he said that Yan Chixia was a genius in Daoist cultivation.

Even now, Yan Chixia, in his forties or fifties, has only just reached the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Yan Chixia couldn't help but ask, "Are you really eighteen?"

Li Ke nodded.

Yan Chixia couldn't help but ask again, "How did you cultivate?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "I picked up a Taoist book and just practiced it casually."

"Just practicing casually!"

Yan Chixia was shocked once again.

I can't help but be shocked. If you can refine your spirit and return to emptiness with just casual practice, wouldn't you refine emptiness and merge with the Dao with serious practice? And if you practice even more, wouldn't you ascend to immortality?

Looking at the bearded man in front of him, Li Ke asked, "Do you still want me to leave?"

Yan Chixia immediately replied, "No need to leave, no need to leave."

"Fellow Daoist, since you possess such cultivation, I will not conceal it from you."

"Underneath this Lanruo Temple, there lives a thousand-year-old tree spirit."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke nodded: "So, you want me to get rid of this demon now?"

Yan Chixia immediately shook his head: "No, this tree demon has a tangled web of roots and occupies a strategic position. If we rush in, we might be countered."

"Not to mention, the Black Mountain Demon is behind this tree demon."

"That old demon has ten thousand years of cultivation and is in the underworld, making him extremely difficult to deal with."

Yan Chixia looked at Li Ke: "In terms of cultivation, you may be able to compare with him, but you are too young. That Black Mountain Demon is a real ten-thousand-year-old demon."

Li Ke thought to himself, "Just a ten-thousand-year-old demon? I've killed several of them."

But Yan Chixia already had so many, Li Ke decided to give him face: "So what are you going to do? Just let the tree demon do its evil?"

Yan Chixia immediately replied, "How could I do such a thing?"

"I'm staying here to prevent the tree demon from harming good people."

"These past few days, I've been gathering information about the tree spirit."

"The purpose is to seize the right opportunity, strike decisively, and leave no future trouble."

Yan Chixia then looked at Li Ke: "Now that you're here, I think we're not far from destroying the tree demon."

Li Ke asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Yan Chixia said, "The fact that you can cultivate to such a level based on an unknown Taoist book is enough to show your high talent. You may even have the potential to become an immortal."

"I'm going to teach you magic."

"I will go down to investigate the tree spirit myself when night falls."

"You will stay in Lanruo Temple and practice the spells I will teach you."

"You don't need to deal with the tree spirit."

"What you need to consider is the Black Mountain Demon."

Li Ke nodded.
