Chapter 444: The True Yin-Yang Realm 【Boom!】 (Part 2)
..
"This is bad."
Yan Beihan's expression turned grim. "In this kind of forest, how could there not be centipedes and snakes? It seems we're about to face enemies on all sides."
"There's still time."
Fang Che calmly said, "According to custom, even if they find us, it will take them several days to launch an attack. Moreover, during the initial days, they won't pose a threat to us. In other words, we have at least ten days of safety."
"In other words, within ten days, we must find another large source of water?"
Yan Beihan's face showed a hint of worry.
"Smart."
"Of course, that's the best option."
"At the very least, we keep moving, making it difficult for the centipedes and snakes to surround us." Fang Che said, "Have you forgotten? Before, we stopped to wait for them, but what if we don't wait?"
Yan Beihan, lacking confidence, said, "Even if we don't wait, but now we have centipedes... Centipedes that can fly."
"The flying speed of the centipedes is slower than our running speed."
Fang Che reassured her.
Yan Beihan gave a bitter laugh. "Reassurance doesn't help, since it's already like this, then whether it's good or bad, we can only ignore it and move forward!"
"Yan Daji's boldness!"
Fang Che couldn't help but praise her.
This kind of bachelor spirit, unexpectedly appeared in the first young lady of the Only Righteous Sect, was beyond Fang Che's expectations.
The next few days.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan, with Little White Tiger, hid and ran, but their cultivation became even more intense.
Especially after experiencing the divine sense power, such a huge windfall...
The two's cultivation time increased significantly, and their meridian endurance became even more exaggerated. In this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, they also faced a life-and-death crisis that was extremely harsh.
The cultivation effect brought about by this desperate situation was simply superb.
The two could even clearly feel their own progress during cultivation.
Especially Fang Che.
He felt that his cultivation now was especially easy to enter a meditative state, and there was a faint sense of divine soul and divine sense power perfectly fused during cultivation.
Moreover, the cultivation effect was even better than before, not just by a little! Fang Che was a bit puzzled.
According to reason, obtaining those unowned divine sense power was naturally a great thing, but it shouldn't have such a strong effect? But now, with the Boundless True Sutra cultivation, it seemed especially effective. The heavenly earthly essence was also more easily attracted by him. Every day's cultivation was like a thousand miles, terrifyingly fast.
This made Fang Che himself feel shocked.
Moreover, the stranger thing was... The divine sense power had already stabilized, but it was also rapidly increasing every day! It was as if there was a huge spring beneath his sea of divine sense.
The original night dream's spiritual power was also continuously released from the Divine Form Jade and then absorbed and assimilated.
The more the divine sense power increased, the more stable it became.
Moreover, the constantly absorbed malevolent qi also became more obedient to his commands.
And Little Spirit's mental power became stronger day by day. The kind of concentrated malevolence in Ming Shi's spear became heavier.
It became increasingly clear.
Seven days later, they encountered a vast army of centipedes covering the mountains.
But this time, the centipede legion, although numerous, was hastily assembled, and they were all low-tier, with no direct high-tier ones.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan unleashed their killing intent, slaying seven or eight tenths of the centipede legion.
The remaining centipedes, unable to wait for reinforcements, fled in defeat.
Then, when collecting centipede pearls, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Little Bear ate the centipede pearls one by one, and its small body seemed to be connected to the starry sea.
Although the centipede pearls were small, only the size of a grain of rice, they were produced within the centipedes' bodies.
But accumulating little by little, the pearls from tens of thousands of centipede corpses also meant tens of thousands of pearls.
All the centipede pearls were swallowed by Little Bear.
Then, it started to gnaw on the centipede corpses, eating them sweetly.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan were both stunned.
This little guy... Is this still a bear?
This little guy was indeed becoming more and more peculiar.
Yan Beihan directly took out a spatial ring, filled it with large centipede corpses, and kept it for feeding Little Bear on the road.
Most of the centipedes not put into the spatial ring were eaten by Little Bear!
It ate until its belly was round!
Little Bear only ate those centipedes that could produce pearls.
"You don't discriminate between meat and vegetables, but you're even picky here." Yan Beihan adored Little Bear.
Holding and weighing it.
Then it cried out, "Where did you put all that food? Fourteen or fifteen pounds... You didn't change at all!"
Little Bear blinked its eyes innocently.
It didn't understand what you were saying.
The next escape, on the road, they ate centipede meat, and Fang Che discovered that the best part was the head and tail, with the middle part grilled, which was absolutely delicious.
Yan Beihan initially found it disgusting but later couldn't resist and started eating, instantly unable to stop.
Little Bear had a huge appetite.
A spatial ring worth of centipede meat was gone in just a few days.
Fortunately, the centipede swarm attacked again, and this time, there were many more large centipedes.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan fought, while Little Bear followed behind, eating centipede pearls, each cooperating.
Yan Beihan collected while fighting, and when it was almost done, they broke through the encirclement and fled, repeating this cycle.
Although the centipedes became more numerous and larger, Fang Che and Yan Beihan's strength improved with each battle.
Action: Like a military drill.
During a certain attack by the centipedes, the strange bird flock also joined the battle. For some reason, they hadn't landed yet and were already attacking the centipedes in the air.
In an instant, the sky rained down centipedes like hailstones.
Then, the two were pursued by the bird flock.
Time passed, and the two fought almost every day.
In the blink of an eye.
Time had already passed.
With only a year left until the Yin-Yang World's opening.
Atop a mountain peak.
After the battle.
Fang Che played with a snake pearl the size of a bowl, inside which countless rainbow lights flickered.
Somewhat satisfied.
"This item, when taken out, is a detoxifying holy treasure for ordinary practitioners. How many have you collected?"
Fang Che turned and smiled.
"I've collected over seventy, not as many as you." Yan Bei Han hummed.
Beneath their feet lay the corpses of dozens of giant pythons.
Lying motionless on the ground, fresh blood flowed freely.
In this battle, the two turned the tables and hunted down the snake swarm that had once pursued them, including an even larger Snake King, whom they directly killed!
Peeling the skin, taking the pearl, and extracting the inner core.
"Nine years, just like a dream!"
Yan Bei Han's face showed signs of weathering, and she sighed, "Who could've imagined that when we first entered, we'd be here for nine years, constantly fighting without rest?"
"Nine years..."
Fang Che laughed, "I didn't expect that one day, my cultivation would reach the Venerable Second Rank."
Yan Bei Han rolled her eyes and hummed, feeling rather displeased.
Because she was currently only at the Venerable Third Rank.
Just one rank higher than Fang Che.
But in terms of combat power, she was no longer Fang Che's match. Once they sparred, he was dominated from start to finish.
So, in the past six months, such unpleasant sparring sessions no longer existed.
"Don't get too happy. After leaving, you'll still be at the King Sixth Rank. It won't change!" Yan Bei Han struck down Fang Che.
"It's fine."
Fang Che said, "I accepted the drop from the King Rank to the Martial Artist level when entering, and I'll accept the drop back to the King Rank after leaving. It's all the same. I'll just cultivate again. Moreover, having learned the secrets of the Venerable Rank, cultivation will be even more efficient."
He spoke seriously, "Speaking of which, I should thank you for your guidance, Yan."
In his previous life, he had only cultivated to the Emperor Rank, and knew nothing about the Lord or Venerable Ranks. This time, with Yan Bei Han's help, he broke through in the Yin-Yang World.
Yan Bei Han felt a bit uneasy and turned away, "With your talent, you'll eventually walk this path. There's nothing to thank me for."
She coughed twice, glanced at Fang Che's face, then shifted her gaze to the valley, changing the topic, "Even now, still remembers the situation of being chased and hunted by these giant pythons. In my dreams, I never imagined that we'd be able to kill all these pythons here."
Fang Che also smiled bitterly, "Yes, at first, I thought it would take five or six years, never imagining it would be so long, nine years to reach this step. At the time, I really didn't know my limits."
Behind them, a roar sounded, and Little White, now a half-grown tiger, stood tall and majestic.
Roaring towards the sky.
In the sky, over a dozen strange birds flying in the distance heard the roar and turned to flee, vanishing instantly.
"Little White is so majestic now."
Yan Bei Han almost laughed out loud.
In these eight years, Little White had grown stronger, and with Fang Che's Boundless True Scripture, he transformed every so often.
Now, although still far from adulthood, his combat power had surpassed the White Tiger Couple.
The bird flock that had once bullied him now dared not face him.
Little White had started to turn the tables and bully the birds.
Although he still couldn't defeat the Fire Phoenix, the Fire Phoenix couldn't defeat him either! This little guy was now a true overlord in this place.
"Only Little Bear... this little guy..."
Yan Bei Han twisted her face and picked up Little Bear, who was snoring in his sleep, looking speechless, "This little rascal, after so much time, has only gained five and a half pounds."
"That's like not growing at all!"
"Nine years ago, he was fourteen and a half pounds, now he's twenty pounds... where's the logic in that?"
Yan Bei Han was exasperated, "In these nine years, this little thing has eaten countless centipedes from the Yin-Yang World, various monster beast meats, various snake meats, he must've eaten at least several million pounds, right? Where did it all go?"
"What's wrong with you, Bear!"
Yan Bei Han sighed, "With you like this, how can we be at ease leaving you in the Yin-Yang World?"
Little Bear had a dazed look, not fully awake, stuffing his paw into his mouth, his eyes wide open in bewilderment.
Unaware of what Yan Bei Han was thinking.
"Rest assured, with Little White here, Little Bear won't be bullied. Moreover, haven't you seen how strong Little White is, yet you're still afraid of Little Bear? Are you still worried about them?"
Fang Che was speechless.
Yan Bei Han, such a smart person, was confused about this?
This made him a little perplexed.
But he didn't know that girls, when faced with seemingly weak and cute little animals, had no resistance and only felt pity and affection.
He was very stubborn about this.
"My spatial ring has eight cracks."
Fang Che said.
"Mine too."
Yan Bei Han looked at her spatial ring, her expression somewhat perplexed.
Only one year remained.
After a year, it would be time to leave the Yin-Yang Realm and return to the outside world. At that time, Fang Che would still need to return to the Grand Hall to guard it, regardless of his Night Demon identity. However... on the surface, it would no longer be possible to spend every moment together as they did now.
At that time, Lan Xinxue would still be the First Lady of the Only Righteous Sect.
As for Fang Che, he would still be the Guardian on the surface, but secretly, he would be a minor undercover agent for a subordinate sect of the Only Righteous Sect.
Not only would the distance between them suddenly become as far as the sky and the earth, but even their identities and statuses would be abruptly separated by heaven and earth!
Thinking of this, Yan Bei Han's heart felt a twinge of sorrow.
"Actually, I really like these nine years in the Yin-Yang Realm." Yan Bei Han hugged her knees, her eyes dreamy as she gazed at the distant clouds drifting through the sky, and murmured, "Here, there are no identities, no statuses, no vulgarities, and not even stances, conflicts, or scheming..."
"Although every day is tiring, it's only considering the simplest things, without any other concerns. If this kind of life could last forever, for a lifetime... how wonderful would that be?"
Yan Bei Han tilted her head back, gazing at the clouds.
A gentle breeze blew from the mountains, lifting her light purple skirt. Her long hair and sleeves fluttered in the wind.
Like an immortal descending upon the mortal realm, she gazed at her Heavenly Palace residence.
Fang Che, sensing her thoughts, smiled and said, "The Trial World, the reason it's called the Trial World, is that it's not a real existence."
"So, at most, it's just a real dream. A task, but we are living people. We can't live in a dream. After we leave, we will still have our own burdens, our own tasks, our own responsibilities, and our own life and death encounters..."
He continued, "As well as our own stances, emotions, and families."
"Family?"
Lan Xinxue smiled faintly and spoke softly.
"Yes, family."
Fang Che also gazed at the distant clouds and said, "Here, I've been here for too long. I miss my wife. She's only been in the outside world for ten days, so she probably won't miss me too much..."
Yan Bei Han's expression suddenly turned unpleasant.
Her eyes drooped, and after a moment, she spoke softly, "Your wife, Night Dream?"
"Yes," Fang Che's face showed a gentle smile, "Yes, Night Dream."
"Is Night Dream a gentle woman?" Yan Bei Han asked.
"Yes, she's gentle most of the time, but if you provoke her, she can have a bit of a temper."
"So, I try not to provoke her," Fang Che said.
Yan Bei Han made a thoughtful sound, and asked, "Is Night Dream a Guardian?"
"No."
"She was originally my maid, and later she married me. Anyway... it was all a blur. Haha, but I really like this life."
Yan Bei Han's voice sounded strange as she chuckled twice, and then she fell silent.
After a long while, she spoke in a deep voice, "I sincerely wish you a happy marriage and a long life together. May you be blessed with eternal happiness for this lifetime."
Fang Che replied seriously, "Thank you."
Both of them fell silent.
Initially, they were so in tune that they could understand each other with just a glance, but now, they didn't even dare to meet each other's eyes.
The atmosphere became so stiff that it seemed frozen.
Both of them stared at the clouds in the distance.
It seemed that the clouds on the horizon held endless mysteries to explore.
They only needed to turn their heads or glance with their peripheral vision to see each other, but their necks seemed rigid, unable to move.
Their eyes appeared frozen, not moving a muscle.
And at that moment...
Black clouds rose from the horizon, soaring into the sky.
Instantly, they enveloped the entire world.
In a short time, the entire Yin-Yang Realm underwent a drastic change.
From their perspective, the entire world became clearly divided into black and white.
On one side, it was a clear blue sky with white clouds drifting by.
While on the other side, there was only darkness, where one couldn't see their fingers in front of their face.
In an instant, the world split in two!
And the point of division was only a thousand miles away from them!
Witnessing this peculiar sight, both of them simultaneously gained enlightenment.
The Yin-Yang Realm!
This was the true Yin-Yang Realm!
Or perhaps, it was only now that the true Yin-Yang Realm had truly opened!
One side was the mortal realm, and the other was the netherworld.
Separating life and death, dividing yin and yang.
Yan Bei Han's expression gradually calmed down as she said, "Do you see it now? This is the true Yin-Yang Realm! And it seems that the task of the Yin-Yang Realm has only just begun!"
Fang Che narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes."
And at that moment...
A little white tiger roared.
Both of them hurriedly looked in its direction.
In front of them, on the mountain ridge, two huge white tigers appeared, standing on the peak and looking towards them.
It was the long-separated White Tiger Couple.
The white tigers called out to summon the little tiger.
The little tiger stood up, hesitating and wagging its tail. Its eyes clearly showed its reluctance to leave.
Seeing this, Fang Che and Yan Bei Han immediately understood.
The White Tiger Couple had come to summon their little tiger home.
Watching the little tiger's hesitation and reluctance, Fang Che sighed, while Yan Bei Han was completely taken aback and froze for a moment.
Instantly, his eyes turned red.
He stared at the little tiger, his voice choking, "Little White, are you leaving?"
The little tiger whimpered softly, its body trembling. Its white fur danced in the wind, and its eyes clearly showed its struggle.
