From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Tru, however, was somewhat uneasy.

"Don't worry, Tru, your father has already prepared the spell. If Tara is indeed the leader of all the Shadow Legions, then this spell can not only remove the mask, but also break all magic related to the Shadow Mask." The old man smiled slightly, sprayed some water on the paper, and pressed it onto Tru's arm, which was nearly twice the thickness of a normal person's head.

Snapped!

A small hand reached out to Tru's arm.

"Xiaoyu!"

This sudden turn of events shocked and angered the old man and Chen Long.

Da Yu held her head, too embarrassed to look, but still said, "I know myself, I am indeed mischievous, but you were a little too naughty today."

Xiaoyu lowered her raised right hand, examined the Tara symbol on the back of her hand, and said with a sheepish smile, "Uncle Long, Dad, now that this symbol is in my hands, why don't I go to the Shadow Kingdom and get the mask?"

"Oh, Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

Helpless, Chen Long could only say to his father, "Father, take care of the Tara symbol on Xiaoyu's hand first."

"no problem."

The old man took out a test tube, turned around, and scooped up the green solution from the cauldron.

"Uncle Long, Dad, don't worry, I will find the Tara mask." Xiaoyu sensed the rhythm of the Tara symbol and the nine orifices in her body, and with a tug, she pulled Chen Long to the ground with a frighteningly strong force.

Then, she somersaulted backward, landing steadily on a patch of shadow, and slowly sank into the ground.

Lu Jin reacted quickly, extending a magnetic field to try and restrain Xiao Yu's body. However, the moment the magnetic field touched Xiao Yu's body, it seemed to bind a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it off, and his own feet continued to slide towards the shadow.

【Depend on!】

I've only ever encountered this situation with Zhang Zhiwei!

"I'm leaving!"

Xiaoyu waved to Lu Jin, and with a tremor in her nine orifices, she shattered the man's magnetic field. She disappeared from the ground along with the black shadow, leaving no trace.

"A single Tara mark was enough to let a little girl escape my control... The Zhou Weather Bureau is really tough!" Lu Jin complained, then asked his father, "Now we can only wait for Xiaoyu to come back."

"I'm afraid we're going to lose Xiaoyu."

But to everyone's surprise, the old man looked dejected.

"Dad?"

Chen Long was startled. The last time he saw this expression on his father was when Xiao Yu and the water demon Basha were sealed into the Demon Hell.

"The Shadow Kingdom is a space similar to the Demon Hell, and it has no real entrance or exit. Only the Shadow Legion can lead living people into it."

Despite his dejected state, the old man still explained to everyone, "People in reality control the Shadow Legion by calling upon their inner darkness to resonate with the Shadow Kingdom, while the Shadow Legion itself cannot manifest within the Shadow Kingdom."

That was, in short, another hellish place!

Therefore, if a living person enters the Shadow Kingdom and wants to come out again, they must first be tied with a rope stained with a magical potion so that they can be pulled out at the last minute.

And Xiaoyu—

They are now completely trapped within the Shadow Kingdom.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Chen Long looked incredulous, but quickly rallied and came up with a plan. He asked, "Then press another Tara mark on my arm, and tie a rope around me. I'll go to the Shadow Kingdom and rescue Xiaoyu!"

"No, the Shadow Kingdom is vast and boundless. Your chances of finding Xiaoyu are no different from finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, only one Tara Mark can exist at a time. If two exist at the same time, the host of one of them will automatically become a member of the Shadow Legion." The old man sighed, shattering Chen Long's fantasy.

Da Yu also frowned, pondering a solution.

"Don't worry."

At this moment, Lu Jin spoke up, "I explained the situation to Brother Jiang, and he said to have Chen Long go to the school to bring Xiaoyu here first, and he will be there soon."

"Is Xiaoyu at school?"

Chen Long was stunned for a moment. "Could it be that she didn't go to the Shadow Kingdom immediately, but went to the school to prove to her classmates that the ninja stories she had told were true?"

Oh, Xiaoyu, I'm definitely going to punish you by grounding you tonight!

Having said that, he took the test tube from his father, quickly left District 13, and dashed towards the San Francisco Elementary School...

# Chapter 844 The fake Xiaoyu becomes queen in the Shadow Kingdom, while the real Xiaoyu daydreams in class.

The Kingdom of Shadows.

Calling it a kingdom is an understatement; it's more like a desolate hellish space.

As far as the eye can see, heaven and earth meet, forming a seamless whole, bathed in a dim red glow.

But compared to hell, where demons are imprisoned, this place is full of life, with some gaseous creatures, like white and black electric eels, which seem to sense the arrival of outsiders and wriggle their bodies to swim quickly toward Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was startled as soon as she entered the Shadow Kingdom and quickly covered her head.

A glimmer of light appeared on the Tara mask on the back of her right hand, causing the creatures of the Shadow Kingdom to disperse and cease their disturbance to Jade.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu glanced at the Tara symbol on the back of her hand and thought to herself, "With this symbol, the little devils in this place won't hurt me on their own."

Also, the air here is so thick, it feels like being submerged in breathable water.

Then, Xiaoyu moved her arms and legs, swimming as if she were swimming, searching for the Tara Mask in the Shadow Kingdom.

Perhaps it was luck, but after a short while, Xiaoyu saw Tara's mask under a dark red cloud in front of her.

Without wasting any time, she sped up, plunged into the dim red cloud, and grabbed Tara's mask.

Just as he was about to leave, he paused, thinking to himself, "I can't just go back like this. Uncle Long will definitely give me a good scolding."

I've finally regained control of the Shadow Legion, so I need to have some fun with it first, otherwise it'll be too boring.

If I could completely control the Shadow Legion, maybe I wouldn't have to go back to that boring school and could just become a champion of justice.

Jiang Liu placed a nine-aperture talisman within me... Hmm, perhaps I can give it a try.

With this thought in mind, Xiaoyu maintained her breathing, recalled the frequency of Qi flow in her body when she practiced the Foundation Building Method, and used her intention to circulate and adjust the Qi throughout her body.

As the Qi flowed through the nine orifices, the nine orifice seals within the body trembled slightly, condensing human magnetism and stimulating the acupoints throughout the body. They pulsed with an extremely peculiar rhythm, and based on the Tara brand on the back of the right hand, they actually established a connection with the entire Shadow Kingdom.

In an instant, all of Xiaoyu's eight extraordinary meridians were opened, and the Tara mark on the back of her right hand disappeared, transforming into a yin fish with yang within yin.

Then, Xiaoyu's skin turned dark blue, her eyes turned blood red, and her orange-red clothes, affected by the Qi, tore apart and reformed, forming a black and purple dress with three pairs of ribbons resembling bone spurs, which danced without wind.

I feel—

"omnipotent!"

In the blink of an eye, Qi circulated through the eight meridians and nine orifices, cultivating the Great Circulation. Resonating with the Shadow Kingdom, countless shadow creatures surrounded Xiaoyu, as if congratulating the birth of the new master of the Shadow Kingdom!

With a flick of her wrist, Xiaoyu unleashed an invisible rhythm, generating ripples that instantly shattered the millions of shadowy creatures surrounding her into nothingness.

"I've become a demon? But it seems I haven't been affected by the demon's power like last time. Instead... I've taken control of this power."

Looking at the dark blue fish on her arm, Xiaoyu closed her eyes and sensed the nine orifices in her body. She vaguely constructed a three-dimensional talisman that resembled both a human and an ape. Together with the faint spiritual light from her ancestral orifice, it protected her primordial spirit and kept it clear. "Oh, Jiang Liu helped me a lot. No wonder I will fall in love with him in the future."

As Xiaoyu withdrew her Qi, her dark blue skin faded, returning to her original yellow skin. Her scarlet eyes also turned back into orange pupils, and even her empress robes instantly transformed back into her original white long-sleeved shirt, orange hoodie, and blue sweatpants.

"cool!"

"I have complete control over the Shadow Kingdom!"

As a child, Jade gained new powers and became completely carried away, constantly switching between the girl and the Shadow Queen, controlling the thousands of shadow creatures of the Shadow Kingdom as her mounts, leading her across the kingdom's territory, completely forgetting to bring Tara's Mask back...

···

"Xiaoyu!"

On the other side, Chen Long found the school, pushed open the classroom door, interrupted Miss Hamand's class, and saw Xiao Yu propping her head up with one hand, holding a pen in her mouth, looking out the window in a daze.

"Uncle Long?"

Xiaoyu, who was also quite surprised to see Chen Long, jumped up from her seat and exclaimed, "Do you need my help?"

really!

Without me, Chen Xiaoyu, things wouldn't have gone smoothly.

"We'll talk about it later!"

Chen Long's eyes were serious, but when facing Miss Hamand, he showed an apologetic expression and said, "Ms. Hamand, Xiaoyu is late today, I'm very sorry... Could she take a leave of absence later? There's something that needs to be taken care of."

"be late?"

Miss Hammond was puzzled. "Mr. Chen Long, what are you talking about? Xiaoyu wasn't late today. Although her grades are indeed worrying and she's usually quite naughty, she's rarely late except for the occasional absence from class."

“Yes, Uncle Long, I wasn’t late today.” Xiaoyu was also surprised.

"You're not late?"

Chen Long was startled, but unwilling to involve innocent people in this matter, he asked again, "Miss Hamand, can Xiaoyu take a leave of absence?"

"I think it's okay."

After spending a lot of time with Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Long's family, Hamand realized that this family... had a special way of life.

Instead of forcing it, we should respect it.

"Thank you."

Chen Long thanked her, took Xiao Yu and left the classroom, heading back to District 13. On the way, he asked, "After you left Dad's antique shop today, you really didn't come back?"

"No, Uncle Long, what's wrong?" Xiaoyu was completely confused. He had rushed her out the door this morning, and she had run to school immediately without any delay on the way. How could she possibly be late?

"That's strange..."

Noticing that Xiaoyu did not have the Tara symbol on the back of her right hand, Chen Long was at a loss and could only take Xiaoyu to find his father first.

at the same time.

As another Jade obtained the Tara Mask in the Shadow Kingdom and attained "Heavenly Enlightenment" with the help of the Nine Aperture Seal, becoming the new master of the Shadow Kingdom, Tara, who had been sleeping in the shadows, quietly opened her eyes and manifested her form in the secret room where Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Old Man, Tru, and others were in District 13.

"Commander Tara has been resurrected!"

A gigantic head appeared, with a yellow face, white beard, yellow eyes, green pupils, black lips, and sharp teeth. Its furrowed brows exuded an aura of domineering power, "Quickly salute the commander, human!"
