"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Yan."
"My name is... Zhu Zhuqing."
What? You are Zhu Zhuqing?
Lin Yan was slightly startled.
It turned out that the timeline of Douluo Continent had already progressed to this point. Although he had come into contact with some people over the past thousand years, this was his first time meeting the protagonist of the world.
He took another look at the beautiful girl. Lin Yan couldn't help but admire the playboy Dai Mubai's incredible luck.
With his own poor character and being a second-generation rich kid, what qualifications did he have to win the favor of such a girl?
But since he had met this beautiful girl in this life, did it mean that something would change?
Lin Yan was very much looking forward to it.
Returning
to his own courtyard, Lin Yan was the first to push open the door.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the courtyard in front of her with some doubts.
According to her imagination, soul beasts should live in caves and crypts, but the buildings in front of her were clearly human-style.
However, she didn't dare hesitate for long, as the big black man behind her was already whimpering impatiently.
She took a step outside. Once inside the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face suddenly lit up with astonishment.
"Such a rich soul power!"
As a soul master, her soul power instantly became active. With just a gentle breath, her entire body seemed to relax. Her cultivation had clearly improved.
"This is simply an unimaginable treasure land!"
She was born into a noble family, and the environment she had cultivated in since childhood was a rare treasure land. Yet, compared to this place, her soul power progress was more than tenfold. If this place was compared to a royal palace, then her previous place was a slum!
That's right, it was that extreme.
If anyone knew Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts at this moment, they would be astonished.
Comparing the Duke's Mansion to a slum? It was pure Versailles.
Seeing Lin Yan bustle about as soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing felt a surge of anxiety. She couldn't just sit there and wait, could she?
"Um... Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, just sit there and rest for a while. How can I let the guests do this? If you get bored sitting there, there's a novel on the table you can read!"
"Novel? What's that?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought, and a glance revealed a thick book on the table. She hadn't noticed it in her nervousness before.
However, once her eyes landed on it, they couldn't move away, inexplicably drawn to it.
The title was: "Blocking the Heavens."
She flipped open the book, and
"Boom!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt her mind tremble as a vast and majestic world appeared before her.
The powerful in this world could capture stars and moons with a wave of their hands, shattering the stars. To say they could cover the sky with a single hand was an understatement.
Compared to them, she was nothing more than an ant.
Could such a world really exist?
Zhu Zhuqing was overwhelmed, and she was quickly captivated by the ever-changing images before her.
Soon,
she lost track of time, place, and even herself. She immersed herself completely in this world.
One flesh-and-blood character after another appeared before her.
There was a female emperor whose beauty was unrivaled.
Whose peak stood at the end of the immortal road? A single sight of the beginningless path brought nothingness.
A figure turned its back on the world, its back filled with loneliness. A figure, enduring countless hardships, rose against adversity. Ultimately, he became the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, suppressing forbidden areas, quelling unrest, and vanquishing all enemies.
People called him Ye Tiandi.
"Does such a world, such a supreme being, truly exist?"
Finally, the young woman slowly closed her book. Her eyes were filled with confusion, and she remained restless for a long time. In
her heart, she held an infinite yearning.
"When the false becomes true, the true becomes false; when the true becomes false, the false becomes true. True and false, real and fake, who can tell the difference?"
Lin Yan said slowly. If even he could travel to the Douluo Continent, what else could be impossible?
"True is false, false is true!"
Zhu Zhuqing murmured with realization. Soon, her eyes gradually brightened. "Thank you, senior. I've got it!"
"You've got it? What did you get?"
Lin Yan was stunned. Why was this girl so jumpy? He was just sighing.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer. She had already closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. A mysterious aura burst out from her.
"Now, is this an epiphany?"
Lin Yan was speechless.
Although he wasn't a spirit master or a cultivator, after reading so many novels, he thought this must be the legendary epiphany.
But to call it an epiphany was too hasty.
As the sun set in the west,
Zhu Zhuqing finally awoke from her epiphany. Then, she bowed deeply to Lin Yan, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.
"Thank you, Senior, for your teachings."
"I'm glad you're awake. Dinner will be served soon."
Lin Yan ignored the nervous girl. He was also curious. Wasn't Zhu Zhuqing supposed to be aloof and aloof?
But where was that supposed aloofness?
However, Lin Yan didn't realize that Zhu Zhuqing's gaze on him was filled with reverence.
If Zhu Zhuqing had previously doubted the reality of the fantastical world described in "The Great Ruler," she now felt absolutely certain that it truly existed. This
was because, in that "novel," she had unexpectedly obtained one of the most powerful spells, the "Nine Secrets."
When the soldiers and fighters approached, they all marched in formation, representing the Nine Secrets.
But she had comprehended the "Jie" and "Xing" secrets within them.
The "Jie" character secret, created by the Emperor, increases combat power tenfold.
The "Xing" character secret, created by the Free and Easy Heavenly Venerable, represents the ultimate in the world. Not only does it possess the world's fastest speed, it also allows one to leap into the Nine Heavens and traverse the Nine Netherworlds, reaching any destination.
Although Zhu Zhuqing has only mastered two of these secret techniques, she is already extremely content.
These two techniques are more than enough to defeat spirit masters of the same level. Even challenging spirit masters of higher levels is possible.
The self-created spirit techniques she currently knows of are rubbish compared to them.
If someone had told her before today that such terrifying self-created spirit techniques existed, she would have utterly refused to believe it.
Ten times combat power! Leaping into the Nine Heavens and traversing the Nine Netherworlds—what a joke! Not even myths have ever told such a thing.
But now, she is completely captivated by the secret techniques described in the book.
Each character represents an extremely powerful secret technique, imbued with the power of the Great Dao, beyond the comprehension of this world.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing realizes she has made a grave mistake.
That is, this young man named Lin Yan is not a soul beast incarnation at all.
It is recorded in "The Great Ruler" that the Nine Secrets were created by the Supreme Being.
And Zhu Zhuqing believes that the strength of the Supreme Being is at least at the god level or above.
But Lin Yan can pass on such a secret method to herself just by reading the book. How terrifying must his cultivation be?
I am sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt her cheeks getting hot.
According to the records in "The Great Ruler", she speculated that Lin Yan is very likely to be a great emperor-level powerhouse who can dominate the heavens.
So the question is. What is the purpose of such a strong man coming to this world?
Could it be that he is just like the supreme being recorded in the book. Is
he making a plan? Is he going to use all living beings as chess pieces to play a big game?
