From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

It is both a particle and a wave; all things exhibit two aspects in their fluctuations.

Therefore.

This light cannot be touched or destroyed by conventional means; perhaps we can only wait for it to dissipate naturally, or perhaps—

With her heart shattered, Nie Xiaoqian stood up straight in a flash, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed the shattered heart whole. She even chewed it a couple of times with great seriousness before making the swallowing motion.

Afterwards, Nie Xiaoqian gave Jiang Liu and his group a meaningful smile and said, "The real beauty is just beginning!"

Before Jiang Liu could even make a move, Nie Xiaoqian's body transformed into a streak of light and headed south.

"and many more!"

The white-clad woman cried out, grabbed the black-clad woman, and used the spiritual realm to fly, chasing after Nie Xiaoqian and escaping the range of the Great Black Mountain.

The young woman remained kneeling on the ground, muttering things like "It's over" and "I've been tricked."

"Can you unleash golden light from the ground?"

Ignoring the young woman, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke to Zhang Zhiwei.

"What?"

Zhang Zhiwei was taken aback, then realized, "Do you think I'm a god? Golden Light Aura? I don't even know the Golden Escape Flowing Light Talisman!"

Jiang Liu asked, "Really not?"

Zhang Zhiwei replied, "I know a little about it, but I'm not familiar with it, and don't expect me to be able to catch up... Let's take it one step at a time. Besides, Daheishan is collapsing, and I estimate that it won't be long before this ghostly realm merges with reality."

"is it?"

Jiang Liu, however, was not so optimistic, because everything in the Great Black Mountain seemed to be disappearing! Vanishing into thin air! Instead of dissipating into nature!

Nie Xiaoqian, or rather, "Xiaoqian," possesses self-awareness and could not possibly be merely seeking revenge against the innocent consciousness of those who "ascended to the heavenly palace" within the Black Mountain. She must figure out what the "true beauty" she speaks of really is.

However, the collapse of Daheishan was very rapid. In just a short while, its height dropped from a thousand feet to a few dozen feet.

The surrounding sky seemed like a sheet of rice paper, ignited by an invisible fire, revealing a hazy yellow sky. The west was shrouded in golden clouds, and the crimson sun shone within it, slowly descending.

They were operating at night, and now it seems that a day and a night have passed in the Ghost Realm, and it is now the evening of the second day!

Looking around, there was no sign of the mountain of knives, no trace of the sea of ​​fire, and not a single ghost or monster. Only a silent pine forest made Jiang Liu and the others realize that they had left the Ghost Realm.

"Back to reality?"

Zhao Yingkong shook her head and asked Jiang Liu, "Is this situation a fusion of the ghost realm and reality?"

"It should be."

It was Zhang Zhiwei who spoke up, "But I feel like something's not quite right. What do you think?"

"The Ghost Realm has moved!"

Jiang Liu realized that the aura of this place had dissipated.

in contrast.

The area around the original Beiguo County has formed a completely new aura that is similar to, or even identical to, the original aura of this place!

Beiguo County!

Namo-ji!

North and south are opposite each other, life and death are opposites. Originally, the ghost realm existed in the Nanwu Temple in the north. The energy pattern was yin within yang. Therefore, Daheishan is yin on the outside and yang on the inside, which created the unique pattern of the outer underworld and the inner heavenly palace.

But now the ghost realm has gone to the southern area of ​​Beiguo County, creating an aura that is both yin and yang—

So, does "Xiaoqian" intend to establish a real Heavenly Court?

Outer Heavenly Court, Inner Palace?

"not good!"

"Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, and the others—"

With this thought in mind, Jiang Liu's Qi circulated through his nine orifices, leaping away, only to rush forward, but then returning from behind, back to the original spot.

We can't get out!

Because the Black Mountain was still tens of feet high, before it completely disappeared, none of the people on the mountain could completely leave this ever-shrinking ghost realm.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu frowned and used the Dharma Image Seal to perform the Qiankun Manipulation, but it seemed to trigger some kind of rhythm in this space, causing the Black Mountain to tremble violently and the entire space to show a tendency to distort.

This startled Jiang Liu, who quickly stopped to prevent everyone's bodies from being twisted as well.

Why is this so?

This is because the energy field is shifting, and at this moment, affected by the power of space, the energy field in the area where Beiguo County and Nanwu Temple are located is fluctuating.

It's like a cultivator who is circulating their energy in the microcosmic orbit being disturbed, causing their meridians to become disordered and leading to a tendency to go astray.

If the "small circulation" of this energy pattern is disturbed, the entire space of the area based on Beiguo County and Nanwu Temple will be disrupted!

Although Jiang Liu cultivates the Dharma Image Seals and masters the Four Innate Laws and holds the Five Seals of Shakyamuni, these four laws and five seals are hindered by Jiang Liu's insufficient understanding of "Dao" and "Dharma," making him inferior to true immortals and Buddhas. As a result, he is currently unable to interfere with such a massive change in the aura.

How to use the power of water and fire to calm the restless mind and unruly will?

This ability can only break down the ability into its most basic Qi state, but it cannot break down the effects of the ability.

For example, if a superhuman can breathe fire, Jiang Liu's ability can transform the flames into harmless Qi units. However, if he himself is burned by the fire, he cannot use this ability to decompose the fire Qi to erase the "burn" result.

The current situation is the same.

The shift in the political landscape is now a fact!

It's just that because there are too many yin spirits accumulated in Daheishan, it will take some time to transfer them all to the Qi-gathering place corresponding to Beiguo County.

However, the moment Jiang Liu disturbed the spatial fluctuations, it brought the young woman back to her senses, and she sensed something. Using the power of the spiritual realm, she dragged a fist-sized black ball of light out of the remaining Great Black Mountain.

It is the radiance of the spiritual realm of the earth!

# Chapter 381 Is "Xiaoqian" the Black Mountain Demon?

Through her spiritual realm, the young woman touched the radiance of the earth's spiritual realm, but as the ghost realm dissipated, her body also began to crumble.

"Give."

She walked up to Jiang Liu and presented him with the radiance of the spiritual realm of the earth. "Living people can actually control the radiance of the spiritual realm, as long as they don't look at it or think about it, but resonate with it with their spirituality."

"why?"

Seeing that the Black Mountain was only ten feet tall, Jiang Liu did not want to casually merge an unknown black light into his body.

"Only by mastering the radiance of the spiritual realm can you truly defeat 'Xiaoqian'."

The young woman's lower body had already transformed into Yin Qi and dispersed into nature, instead of being transported to another place along with the Black Mountain.

Unlike true ghosts, this half-human, half-ghost will travel to the real world with Jiang Liu and the others.

Their only fate was death.

"My plan was exactly what Xiaoqian expected from the beginning. The person who contacted me was not Yan Chixia, but Bai Nulang."

"Perhaps, she too was deceived by Xiaoqian..."

"I've figured out Xiaoqian's goal now. It's always been the same: not just revenge, but to simultaneously control the radiance of the two spiritual realms, Heaven and Earth!"

Jiang Liu has also pieced together a complete clue!

True!

The radiance of the two spiritual realms, Heaven and Earth, is nurtured by the accumulated yin spirits of the Great Black Mountain, but it cannot be controlled by the consciousness born within the Great Black Mountain.

That consciousness was merely a chance occurrence after it occupied Nie Luoli's "ascension" soul shell and unexpectedly realized that the radiance of the spiritual realm only acknowledges "humans".

Because these two spheres of spiritual light are the pure source of light born from the desire of many human spirits to transcend.

In the minds of the ancients, there were only two ways to transcend.

Firstly, one can ascend to the Heavenly Palace, enjoy the boundless sacred realm, and attain purity and freedom.

Secondly, entering the underworld will ensure a better rebirth in the next life.

Therefore.

The spirits that entered the Ghost Realm and came from Black Mountain, upon reaching the mural, were illuminated by the radiance of the celestial spiritual realm. Their pure consciousness "ascended" to the heavenly palace, while their impure souls, or soul shells, remained on Black Mountain, influenced by the radiance of the terrestrial spiritual realm, and were thus cast into "reincarnation," forming various kinds of ghosts and monsters.

After all, it is just a ghost realm, and its three-realm system is not very complete.

Although these two radiant lights from the spiritual realm are effective on non-human spirits, they are only recognized by "humans" because they are lights infused with human intention.

However, the consciousness of "Xiaoqian" never considers herself to be human.

Because it is the will itself born from the Great Black Mountain.

Rather than being a human or a ghost transformed from a dead person, it is more accurate to call it a demon!

Black Mountain Demon!

Therefore, although the radiance of the spiritual realms of heaven and earth originates from Him, it can never be directly used by Him.

After possessing the soul shell left behind by Nie Luoli after her "ascension" to the Heavenly Palace, and becoming "Xiaoqian", she realized the opportunity to completely control the radiance of the spiritual realm.

That is to fully possess human form!

But He went astray!

Rather than cultivating a human body, He chose to occupy Nie Luoli's body, creating two "human bodies" with the scholar Ning Caichen. He also planted a spiritual realm in them, so that their bodies could gradually adapt to the power of the spiritual realm's radiance during their growth, in order to later "seize" their bodies.

The Black Mountain Demon, half-human and half-ghost, is perhaps more suited than a pure human to developing intelligence within the realm of ghosts.

And the birth of the little girl—

It is possible that after the Black Mountain Demon completely controlled the radiance of the two spiritual realms of Heaven and Earth, she wanted to use her body to go to the real world, thereby creating the radiance of the human spiritual realm and using it to control the human world.

However, judging from the Black Mountain Demon's current indifference towards the little girl, is it possible that He is just deceiving her? Or perhaps He has deduced a certain future in the human world and therefore abandoned this idea?

After all, even a young girl can deduce some future scenes through the spiritual realm, and the black-clad woman has a style similar to a rebellious young woman. There's no reason why the Black Mountain Demon can't deduce future-related scenes through the spiritual realm.

Ordinary sorcerers have to pay a considerable price to predict the future, but in the Ghost Realm, they rely on the "Qi Formation," a "monster" similar to a cultivator, to bear the side effects.

Moreover, considering the sheer size of the Black Mountain, which is thousands of feet high, it is only a speculation about some future scenarios, without deducing how exactly to reach that future. It can completely withstand the backlash!

As long as the backlash doesn't collapse His entire mountain, it's estimated that after some time, with the accumulation of countless evil spirits, He can recover.
