Chapter 176 My True Name is Qionghua
The Han family glared at her fiercely, wanting to accuse her of plotting and ambushing them, but remembering that their own family had used a hidden weapon first, they could only reluctantly hand over their bets. On the grounds of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, they dared not openly breach the contract.
The Zhou family lost to the Han family an ancient martial arts manual, along with a small box of valuables including gold bars and jade. Now all of these belong to Dong Wuyou, plus an additional 10,000 yuan in cash from the Han family themselves. She immediately regretted not betting more!
Han Zhuoqun should be a pivotal figure in the Han family. Generally speaking, there aren't many martial artists like him who are about to enter the Martial Grandmaster level in any family.
However, such a large family must have someone with even greater power in charge, so they shouldn't be underestimated. She thought about asking Qiu Lancheng to help investigate their family's martial prowess, and decided to avoid them for the time being.
The Ancient Martial Arts Association set up the dueling arena only to avoid family feuds and the resulting negative impact. However, behind the scenes, various conspiracies, tricks, and acts of plunder among families are still quite common.
If Dong Wuyou, a lone wolf, were secretly surrounded and killed by the Han family, and her body were buried, who would stand up for her and seek justice for her?
To avoid getting hurt, Dong Wuyou took advantage of the crowd to leave the Ancient Martial Arts Association and headed straight for the depths of the mountains. She didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people!
After confirming that she had shaken off her pursuers, she quickly entered her spatial dimension. After some alterations, she disguised herself as a middle-aged woman with some gray hair, carrying a tree branch with two pheasants hanging from it, and leisurely returned to the city.
After carefully confirming that she was safe, she changed into her own clothes and went to the train station as quickly as possible. After buying a ticket and boarding the train, she switched berths with the conductor and lay down on the upper berth.
Tong Yuheng channeled her spiritual energy into the space and looked at the items she had bought at the trade fair, which were quietly placed in the display cabinet in her bedroom.
"Why is this space no longer moving? What use are these things to it anyway?"
"Do these things also need to be activated with blood? Let's try that broken jade pendant first!"
The lights were already off, and the person opposite was asleep. She flipped the blanket over herself, covered herself with her backpack, and entered the space.
Without hesitation, based on her previous experience, she made a large cut on her palm, and blood gushed out, completely soaking the jade pendant. As expected, her blood was absorbed, and the jade pendant began to heat up!
She estimated that she had to expend 200cc of her health before the jade pendant stopped absorbing her blood. She felt a momentary dizziness, and then she entered a mysterious space filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers!
What kind of divine fortune is this? It's another magical space, much more beautiful and much bigger than the original one. It's like a fairyland!
Layer upon layer of mountains, a vast blue sky, clouds that seem to flow, streams leaping through the forest, lakes stretching as far as the eye can see, and wide, fertile land planted with many plants she didn't recognize at all...
"My God! Have I been transported to another world again?" Tong Yuheng exclaimed.
"Huh? How come you have a planting space used by disciples of this sect for training?" A soft and melodious female voice rang in her mind, startling Tong Yuheng.
"Who are you? How did you get into my space?" Tong Yuheng asked the voice.
"How strange! This is actually a void world generated from a book? You're also wondering, you shouldn't belong here, so how did you get here?"
The voice, seemingly able to see through everything, pointed out Tong Yuheng's identity as a time traveler, which greatly shocked her!
"I don't know either! I just fell asleep and ended up here. I'm not some kind of evil spirit that possesses other people's bodies!" In her previous life, she had read a lot of cultivation novels, and cultivators abhorred and forbade the act of taking over other people's bodies and killing their souls.
"Oh, so you know about possession? You're just a nobody with no cultivation at all, you don't have that ability, hehe!" the voice mocked her.
"Are you a spirit in this space? Or the master of this space?" Tong Yuheng asked.
"This is a secret realm created by me for my sect, where my disciples can train. I sealed a wisp of my divine soul here, but I never expected you to awaken it..."
Tong Yuheng thought to himself: Could she be some kind of demon or monster? Could she be like the genie in Aladdin's lamp, looking for trouble and eating me? I can only hear her voice but can't see her, it's really creepy.
"Hehehe, why do you have so many ideas, little one? I'm not an evil cultivator; I believe in cause and effect and wouldn't harm innocent people. You're not a cultivator, yet you've obtained so many treasures from our sect, which shows you have a deep connection with us. Well then, I'll teach you some basic techniques!"
As soon as the voice fell, Tong Yuheng felt a light tap on her forehead. Instantly, her head swelled up, and the pain intensified, to the point that she felt like she was about to collapse!
Perhaps those information transmissions only lasted a few seconds, but in Tong Yuheng's mind, it felt like half a lifetime had passed!
Some cultivation techniques and methods of circulating internal energy gradually appeared in her mind, quite different from the ancient martial arts she practiced. Could this be the kind of cultivation method described in novels?
"Has the world stopped cultivating immortality? How did my magical treasure end up here? Could it be that someone in this world has mentioned my sect or knows of my existence?"
The voice paused for a moment, seemingly sensing the situation outside, then said helplessly, "This world is devoid of spiritual energy, and even mortal body cultivation methods are almost nonexistent. The air outside is so polluted, how do you all survive?"
"I don't know how to address you. We're on a train now. It's cramped here and the air quality isn't great, but the rest of the place is very nice."
Tong Yuheng: This is only 30 or 40 years from now, when air pollution won't be that bad yet, and people can't stand it?
"My Taoist name is Qionghua, and I am known by later generations as Qionghua Yuanjun or Qionghua Zunzhe. With the vicissitudes of life, people today have probably forgotten me."
The Daoist arts of this world have ceased to exist, and the lineage has been severed. I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, my sect would be gone. Indeed, everything was an illusion…”
Qionghua Yuanjun? Qionghua Zunzhe? Is she a deity or a famous Taoist figure in history? Tong Yuheng really didn't know any of this.
She had little knowledge of these subjects in both her past and present lives. Although she loved reading fantasy novels, she was a staunch atheist.
As for her ability to travel through time and possess space, she believes it is due to some special circumstances of space-time alteration, or the result of highly developed science and technology. The reason she cannot do it now is simply because she has not reached that level of technology or has not met the special conditions for reversing space-time.
"Do you really want to go back to your original world? Leave this place and go to your relatives from your past life?" The voice in your head suddenly rang out again.
