Urban Immortal Lord

"Since you are so familiar with the Underworld, you must know that there is a spatial barrier between the Underworld and the mortal world. Generally speaking, apart from the guides of the Underworld, it is very difficult for cultivators from the Underworld to enter the mortal world." The female ghost said respectfully, "I was caught in a spatial rift due to a spatial disturbance in the Underworld. When I woke up, I found myself in the mortal world."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian was startled and asked in disbelief, "A spacetime rift?"

He then changed the subject, asking, "When did this happen?"

The female ghost replied, "If I remember correctly, it was early July when the entire underworld was engulfed in this spatial upheaval. Even the powerful beings of the underworld mobilized to search for the source of this disturbance."

Early July?

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian felt a surge of emotions. This coincided with the time when he was swept into the bottom of the night sea, coupled with the series of events that had occurred in Hundred Flowers Valley.

Xia Tian couldn't help but speculate that there must be a close connection between his being swept into the bottom of the night sea and the spacetime disturbance in the underworld, and he estimated that the spacetime disturbance in the underworld was caused by the power of the Three Lives Stone!

According to the Hermit of Wangchuan, the Three Lives Stone possesses the heaven-defying power to travel through the past, present, and future. Moreover, the Three Lives Stone is engraved with one of the Ghost Path techniques of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This stone leaps through the Netherworld space, leaving no trace, and even the supreme Yellow Springs Emperor of the Netherworld finds it difficult to locate.

Xia Tian couldn't think of any other power besides the Three Lives Stone's ability to travel through time and space that could interfere with the order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and accidentally send a cultivator from the Underworld to the mortal realm!

"It seems the Three Lives Stone has already appeared in the underworld..."

Summer muttered to himself, a sudden sense of urgency welling up inside him. He knew that the Ghost Path Technique was engraved on the Three Lives Stone, a technique he had to obtain, as it was related to his future cultivation path.

Now that the Three Lives Stone has appeared, if the Yellow Springs Emperor gets there first, his chances of obtaining this method will become even slimmer!

"My cultivation level is still too low!"

At this moment, Xia Tian wished he could rush straight to the Underworld to seize the Three Lives Stone, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low, and he was powerless to break through the spatial barrier, so he could only sigh in vain.

"I hope the Three Lives Stone hasn't fallen under the control of the Yellow Springs Emperor..." Xia Tian prayed inwardly, then asked the female ghost before him, "Do you have a name in the underworld?"

"Replying to Master, my name is Green Bamboo," the female ghost replied respectfully.

"From now on, you shall be called Nie Xiaoqian," Xia Tian said thoughtfully. "You may call me 'Master' from now on, but you must not cause any more trouble in the world, or I will not tolerate you!"

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, sir. I will certainly obey your command." Nie Xiaoqian smiled, then hesitated before asking, "May I ask, sir, would you like me to serve you before you retire for the night?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian trembled with fright and quickly said, "You may leave now. I will summon you if needed."

"By the way, what is your cultivation level now?" Xia Tian suddenly asked. He sensed with his divine sense that the female ghost's cultivation level seemed to be a bit stronger than his, but he couldn't sense exactly what level it was.

"Early Foundation Establishment stage," Nie Xiaoqian replied. "Xiaoqian was originally a cultivator at the Bigu stage, but her cultivation level dropped to the early Foundation Establishment stage after being caught in a spacetime rift in the Underworld."

"Hmm." Xia Tian nodded and said, "You may leave now."

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian's figure became ethereal, and she flew towards the window in a gust of cold wind, gradually disappearing into the night sky.

That night, Xia Tian was filled with thoughts. Based on the series of events that had recently occurred, he was now absolutely certain that in this world, there not only existed a martial arts world, but also unknown cultivators.

Furthermore, through the description of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, Xia Tian also learned that a major event had occurred in the underworld, and this event must be inextricably linked to the Three Lives Stone!

Xia Tian is confident that he can sweep through the Chinese martial arts world alone, but if a highly skilled cultivator appears, his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining will be far from enough.

Foundation Building Stage!

This is the goal I set for myself in the summer: to reach the Foundation Establishment stage within a year, so that perhaps I will have a little bit of strength to protect myself.

That night, Xia Tian didn't sleep a wink. The next morning, as the first rays of dawn fell upon the earth, Xia Tian got up early. After washing up, he sat cross-legged in his room, constantly pondering the mysteries of the human way.

An hour later, Xia Tian opened his eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and prepared to go out for breakfast.

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang. Xia Tian picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed "Bald Qiang," so he pressed the answer button.

"Master Xia, did I disturb your rest?" Bald Qiang asked tentatively in a low voice on the other end of the phone.

"Speak, what do you want?" Xia Tian asked directly without wasting any words.

"It's like this..." On the other end of the phone, Bald Qiang quickly explained the whole story.

It turns out that Xia Tian instructed Bald Qiang and Huang Biao to take over all of Ye Tianlong's businesses and set a three-day deadline. Within a day, the two had almost taken control of all of Ye Tianlong's businesses. However, they had a conflict with a real estate tycoon in M ​​City over a certain real estate business, which had now escalated to the point of a bloody battle.

However, since Ye Tianlong's elite troops were all killed by Xia Tian's sword, Huang Biao's few dozen men were at a complete disadvantage. Therefore, Bald Qiang called Xia Tian for help.

After receiving Bald Qiang's call, Xia Tian didn't delay any longer. She went straight to the outside of the residential area, hailed a taxi, and drove towards the location Bald Qiang had indicated.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped outside a construction site in the western suburbs of M City. Xia Tian casually tossed a hundred yuan into the car, got out, and walked directly into the construction site.

The taxi driver, beaming with joy, drove away.

Looking up in the summer, one can see that the construction site is surrounded by corrugated iron sheets, and inside the site are rows of dilapidated buildings. Clearly, this is an unfinished project with no signs of construction starting.

Before long, Xia Tian arrived at the construction site gate. In the gatehouse, an old man in his fifties or sixties was looking at Xia Tian with shifty eyes.

"Stop!" The old man shouted as Xia Tian was about to walk in, then pointed to a sign next to him and said, "Didn't you see the words on this sign? Construction site, no outsiders allowed."

Seeing this, Xia Tian was too lazy to argue with the old man, so she simply grabbed a handful of RMB from her pocket and threw it into the guardhouse. Judging by the amount, it was at least more than a thousand yuan.

Then, under the old man's fawning gaze, Xia Tian walked into the construction site without looking back.
