"Isn't there a saying, there is a world in every flower." It's probably not weird for a book to contain a world?
"I don't know whether a flower contains a world, but at least the flower is alive. A book is only fibers plus ink, you think these can breed life?"
"Uhhh..." This made so much sense that Lonemoon was speechless.
"Even if there is a world in the book, it's probably only a two-dimensional world, how could they drag someone like you from a three-dimensional world in?" Shen Ying munched on her fruit and continued saying, "Even if we take ten thousand steps back and concede that there is a world in the book, we are not erasers, why can we change a plot that has already been written?"
"..." Lonemoon was stunned and his heart skipped a beat."You mean to say that someone from this world wrote the book to intentionally summon us to this world? But the plot in the book were all events that happened after I transmigrated. Then, isn't this book..."
"A book of prophecy." Shen Ying finished his sentence.
"F*ck!" There were indeed some spells that could predict the future, but why would they write it into an erotic novel? However, if he thought about it this way, the reason why they could change the plot so easily was because the future was uncertain."Who is this b*stard? Did you manage to know who it was from Hui Ling?"
"No."
Shen Ying shook her head and told him the details of the b*tch's disappearance.
Lonemoon frowned even harder, a sense of worry that he never had rushing over him. This feeling that he was being controlled by someone else was terrible and it felt even worse to not know who it was.
"So Hui Ling died just like that?"
"Yes."
"So, do you think Hui Ling knows who..."
Shen Ying pondered for a while and shook her head, saying, "Probably not."
Seeing the b*tch's initial reaction, she didn't look like she was lying. She really did not know what she was asking, she was simply a chess piece that had been manipulated by others.
"So, what does the mastermind want us to do after transmigrating us to this world?" Lonemoon thought thoroughly, but the mystery only got larger."Also, about that book, he wrote the events that he predicted into a book to tell me, for what purpose?"
Shen Ying frowned and only replied sullenly after a while, "Maybe... to open that door?"
"Which door... the gate to the Demon World!" Lonemoon's eyes widened vigorously and thought about the plot of the book. The final battle was indeed the gate to the Demon World, however, the gate was sealed by Yi Qing before it had fully opened. From the start, he had admired the Yi Qing in the plot, of course, that was before he became a chef. After he knew the plot, he had put in a lot of effort to stop him from dying because of sealing off the gate to the Demon World. If the book was an attempt at misdirection that would be the result that the other party wished for."You're saying that the person who caused us to transmigrate, is very likely to be... from the Demon World?"
"Yes." Shen Ying nodded.
"So... that's why he would direct Hui Ling to lock her in the Fringe Realm." As long as Shen Ying wasn't around, there would be nobody to stop the Demon World from invading the Celestial World. However, the other party might not have expected that the Fringe Realm was completely unable to trap Shen Ying.
Lonemoon stood up frantically and looked outside, giving orders."Yu Hong, you go and look for Lan Hua. Ask him to set up an array formation to bring us to the Emperor Ascension Stage." Back then, Shen Ying had given Blackie three days to summon back all the demons under subterfuge in the Celestial World. Now, one month had passed, the door should have disappeared, "Go and see if the gate to the Demon World is still..."
Before he finished his sentence, the ground quaked and a giant rumbling sound sounded from an extremely distant location. A huge amount of Immortal Qi rushed towards them and swept across the entire palace like a gust of wind.
Lonemoon's heart clenched as he immediately had an ominous feeling. He exchanged gazes with Shen Ying and rushed out of the palace.
The rumbling did not stop and not only the Invincible Sect, everywhere else was quaking, as though the earth had come alive. The disciples had all gathered outside the palace.
"Master..." Even Yi Qing who was cooking had rushed out, his spatula still in his hand. He turned around and looked at Shen Ying before turning his head to the distance and frowning.
"Do you feel anything?" Lonemoon asked hurriedly. After all, Yi Qing was the most sensitive to aura.
Yi Qing raised his spatula and pointed in the distance, "The Immortal Qi appears to be rushing from there, like... something is driving them away. I don't know what it is either."
"Driving them away?"
"Something fell." Shen Ying suddenly said.
"What?" Lonemoon was shocked, "What the..."
Before he could finish speaking, a black mist appeared and flew at a breakneck speed towards them, heading straight for Shen Ying."Kind..."
"Who is it!" Yi Qing, who was standing beside Shen Ying, swung his spatula towards it on reflex.
Clang! A dreadful sound could be heard as the entire black mist was knocked away and landed heavily on the stone steps."Holy shit! Chef, what are you hitting me for?"
That voice was...
Lonemoon was stunned as he looked at the person who picked himself up from the floor, "You're Lan Hua?"
"Isn't that obvious! It's me of course, who else here would have demonic Qi on their body?" He angrily stood up and produced a hand seal. In an instant, the demonic Qi on his body vanished and he reverted to his human form.
"What are you doing, releasing your demonic Qi like that?" Lonemoon rolled his eyes at him, who could see who you were in that black mist, you deserve to be beat up.
"What do you mean like that, I didn't want to as well, it was because... That's right!" He appeared to have remembered something important, and he turned towards Shen Ying, grabbing her and scrutinizing her, "Kindness, are you all right? Have you lost an arm or a leg, tell me quickly!"
Shen Ying: "..."
Yi Qing frowned and smacked his unruly hand away with his spatula, "Master is fine, what ulterior motive do you have for asking that?"
"You're really fine?" He had a doubtful look, and he frowned, "Then why have I suddenly become a Skyfiend?"
"Skyfiend!" Everyone was shocked by it too, "You broke through your cultivation level!"
"That's right." He nodded."Just now, my cultivation level suddenly increased rapidly and rose to the level of a Skyfiend. I thought something had happened to Kindness, so I came to take a look." Logically, he could only rise to the level of a Skyfiend by eliminating his final trace of kindness. However, he was just filling up the holes with radish at the back mountain and his cultivation level suddenly rose.
"Did you not feel anything happen just now?" The ominous feeling in Lonemoon's heart was becoming even stronger.
"No." He shook his head, "There was just a lot of demonic Qi that had appeared all of a sudden, I couldn't even absorb it all." Just like he said, black Qi suddenly appeared around his body, looking as if they were about to turn back into the black mist.
"Demonic Qi..." Lonemoon's eyes enlarged as his heart sank. He turned back to look at Shen Ying, then said solemnly, "Lan Hua, create an array formation to send us to the Emperor Ascension Stage, now!"
"Huh?" Lan Hua looked baffled, not understanding what he meant, but he still used his demonic Qi to cut through the air.
Perhaps due to his increase in cultivation level, the time taken up to set up the array also sped up. Soon, a black crack had appeared in front of them.
"Go!" Lonemoon immediately rushed in and the other three people hurriedly followed.
In an instant, the view before their eyes had changed and they were in another area. The moment they stepped out of the crack, the four of them felt a familiar quaking, just like the one they had felt in the Invincible Sect. However, it was much more vigorous and in the next moment; they were stunned by the sight before their eyes.
The skies that were initially full of Immortal Qi were now nearly devoid of Immortal Qi. The empty area behind the Emperor Ascension Stage now had an entire field of black, as though the skies had been split into two, half completely black and the other completely white.
They could faintly see strange rocks and lava all around within the field of black, all surrounded with a black mist.
The area looked familiar as Shen Ying narrowed her eyes. That place was...
