From the moment Ling Xian opened his storage pouch, to the appearance of the demonic bug, to the moment the sharp needles came at him.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that even Ling Xian couldn't react in time.
Luckily, he listened to the elder's advice and activated the three flowers of the Great Path. Or else he wouldn't be able to defend at all.
DONG!
Like metal clashing, the three flowers of the Great Path revolved around them, blocking all evil and all techniques.
The demonic bug retreated and its red eyes stared deadly at Ling Xian. It was obvious that it was shocked.
"What an interesting fellow."
Looking at the bee-like bug, Ling Xian's interest was piqued. Though the bug's cultivation level was not high, it was equivalent to a cultivator on Planet Yongxian. However, even he was a little shaken by the speed that burst out in that instant.
It was far too fast. If he didn't activate the flower of the Great Path, the sharp needles would've pierced through his forehead.
What made him even more curious was that he has never seen a demonic bug before and there were no records of it.
Ling Xian clenched his right hand and released a terrifying suction force that sucked the bug into his palm.
This made the bug scream in an eerie manner. It sounded like it was crying and howling. At the same time, it crazily wiggled its small body. Demonic energy poured out of it in an attempt to escape.
Sadly, Ling Xian was far too powerful. It couldn't resist at all and was instantly sucked in.
"Stop struggling. Or else I will crush you to death."
Looking at the black bug in his palm, Ling Xian's eyes were cold and his tone was full of killer's intent.
This made the bug quiver. It retracted its aggression and didn't dare to resist anymore.
After all, it was intelligent and knew that with its capabilities, there was no way it could defend against Ling Xian. If it didn't want to die, it had to listen.
"Very good. Only when you listen can you live a long life."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He poured his Qi into the bug's body and carefully checked.
After some time, he frowned and his eyes were full of confusion.
This was because he felt a strange energy inside the bug. It was completely different from Planet Yongxian and different from the Black Tortoise Land.
The source of energy for cultivators was the same. The entire universe was the same. It was just that different worlds had different names. For example, on Planet Yongxian, it was called Qi. On the Black Tortoise Land, it was called Qi.
No matter how the name changed, the essence would not change. Thus, when one reached the end of cultivation, they would reach the same destination by different means.
It wasn't just the Three Thousand Great Daos, it was also the source of a cultivator's power.
However, the energy inside the worm's body was fundamentally different from the energy inside the Planet of Immortals. This made Ling Xian suspicious.
"Could it be that it's not a creature of the universe?"
Ling Xian suddenly had a thought. Then, he shook his head and laughed, finding his guess laughable.
If the Demonic Insects weren't creatures of the universe, didn't that mean that there was another universe?
How was this possible?
Ling Xian chuckled. Pinching the bug, he asked, "Little fella, tell me where you are from."
Hearing that, the Demon Bug shook its head repeatedly, chirping something that no one knew what it was saying.
"You don't know, or you don't want to tell me?" Ling Xian frowned, scaring the insect so much that it shook its head even harder.
"Forget it, I'll let you live for now."
Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and the array turned into a cage that sealed the worm. Then, he wrapped a strand of hair around the Demon Insect and hid it in his waist-length hair.
This insect was far too eerie. There was a completely different type of energy inside its body. Before he can figure it out, he must not kill it.
Then, Ling Xian searched his storage pouch with his Qi. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
The elder was the protector of the House of Demons and had a very high status. No matter how poor his wealth was, it couldn't be that bad.
However, after Ling Xian scanned around, he realized that he had overestimated the elder.
Looking around, other than three treasures that barely caught his eye, the rest were not worth mentioning. These three treasures were given to him by Ling Xian.
"An elder of the House of Demons is poor to this extent. What a weirdo …" Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Reality was, the elder wasn't poor. He had the normal wealth of a cultivator of the Dao Reasoning Realm. One could only say that his standards were too high. Normal treasures, to him, were no different than trash.
"I thought there would be good stuff. I didn't think it would be trash."
Ling Xian was disappointed. But just as he was about to close his storage pouch, he saw a yellowed ancient book from the corner of his eye.
Immediately, he waved his hand and the yellowed ancient book flipped open. This made him frown.
For one, because it had been too long, the words were blurry. For two, he didn't recognize the words.
"This doesn't look like the language of the Xuan Wu world …"
Ling Xian frowned. During the time he was recovering at the Su Clan, he had already mastered the language of the Xuan Wu world. Though he wasn't an expert, he had studied the language of the ancient times.
Yet he didn't recognize a single word on the ancient book. This proved that it wasn't the language of the Xuan Wu world.
"Interesting." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. Then, the book flipped by itself.
The first few pages were filled with words he couldn't understand. But after three pages, the words changed into the language of the Xuan Wu world that he was familiar with.
This refreshed Ling Xian's spirit as he carefully read the words.
I thought I was unlucky until I met her.
She was a kind and beautiful girl. After one look, I fell in love with her.
Luckily, she fell in love with me as well. She taught me how to read, played music with me, and brewed tea with me.
We lived in seclusion in the forest and isolated ourselves from the rest of the world. It was simple but happy.
I got used to living with her. I got used to writing in the language of this world. I even forgot my mission.
It wasn't that I forgot, it was that I didn't want to remember.
Because if I did, I would lose her.
Reading the contents of this page, Ling Xian's brows locked together and his head was full of confusion.
This was because this passage conveyed three messages. First, this was a diary.
Second, the owner of the diary was not from the Xuan Wu world. If he didn't meet the girl, he wouldn't have used the language of this world to write his diary.
Third, the appearance of this girl made him forget his mission.
These three messages made Ling Xian very curious. He flipped to the next page.
Why!
Why does this world not want to let me go? I have given up my mission and betrayed my own kind. Why won't it let me go?!
The blood of anger coursed through my veins, making me want to kill and kill.
But, she didn't let me.
For the sake of her and my child, I gave up. I took her into hiding everywhere, fleeing for our lives.
Reading the contents of this page, Ling Xian could feel the anger and helplessness of the owner of the diary. He couldn't help but be curious.
Because this page emphasized two messages. One was his mission. The second was the Xuan Wu world.
From what the owner of the diary was saying, he was on the opposite side of the Xuan Wu world. In the beginning, he probably provoked the entire continent. Because of the girl, he gave up.
Then, the Xuan Wu world chased after him. Because of the girl and his child, he had to hide.
"This is getting more and more interesting. Who is this person? Why did he provoke the entire continent? "
Ling Xian was getting more and more curious. He flipped to the next page.
