Summer night.
In the distance, fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Eight-cloud Ink, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood by the river with her hair down.
The jade hairpin that was originally used to fix her hair was broken in the battle that year.
"If my sister knew that I was sealed, she would definitely come here regardless of the consequences."
Eight-cloud Ink stared at the fleeting beauty as the brilliant fireworks illuminated her jade-like cheeks.
"But after so many years, there is still no movement. I think the flow of time in the two worlds is different."
"Judging from the divinity of the Lord of Mount Tai, there is a divine creature in this world — even if it is just an amalgamation of power without a complete consciousness and can only carry out its divine role mechanically."
Whether a world had a creature with divinity or not would cause the world to evolve in two different directions.
If divinity appeared in a world, then this world had the qualifications to establish a complete system of Gods and Demons — even if it would take a long time.
A complete system of Gods and Demons — not referring to myths and legends, but to the existence of real Gods and Demons — was the standard to distinguish a higher world from a lower world.
If a world could not produce divinity, then no matter how powerful the mystics of this world were — no matter if they were demons, witches, Taoists, or monks — they would never be able to break free from the shackles of the world itself.
At the same time, the development of mortals' technology would gradually devour the mysteries of the world itself.
This was what Eight-cloud Ink understood after traversing several worlds and gradually understanding the nature of the world.
"Whether there is a complete system of Gods and Demons is still uncertain, but the flow of time in the two worlds is different — most importantly, I have never heard of this world in my previous life, so I can't make an effective judgment."
"Although I can immediately choose to return to the Fantasy Village, I can't just go home with my tail between my legs —"
"— The world I traversed is a completely unfamiliar world. I have to get used to it as soon as possible. I think there will be more and more situations like this in the future."
Thinking of this, Eight-cloud Ink sighed.
"However, those Onmyojis should be considered the top combat power of this country. After all, they work for the government. If they are only at that level, I don't have to worry too much about the mortals. "
A fierce look flashed in Eight-cloud Ink's eyes.
Looking up, Eight-cloud Ink leisurely looked at the bright moon.
"It's just that … I don't know what the Gods and Demons of this world are like, if they really exist."
"No matter what, let's take a look around first.

The summer vacation quickly passed.
On that day, after becoming Natsume's Spirit-branded Retainer and experiencing a battle that he would never forget for the rest of his life, he welcomed the painful pre-exam period — in order to successfully enter the Yin-Yang School.
The Yin-Yang School was a school for immature Yin-Yang Masters. Yin-Yang Yin-Yang Yin-Yang
Yin-Yin Yin-Yang Yama was officially approved by the Yin-Yang Hall
Yin Yin Yin Yin yin Yama Yin-Yin Yin Yama
Yyyyy- Yin, Yyyyyin Yy1 Yyyyyyyin Yyue of Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyas well.
However, due to the Yin-Yang Hall's relatively perfect monitoring system, they were always able to send Nightmare Officers — the Yin-Yang Masters within the Yin-Yang Hall who were responsible for eliminating Spirit Disasters — to deal with Spirit Disasters before they caused any substantial damage. This allowed the ordinary citizens of Tokyo to maintain their normal lives.
The scene of the Nightmare Officers working at the frontlines of the Spirit Disasters dispelling the Spirit Disasters was recorded and broadcasted live by the reporters. In the end, many young men and women set their dream of becoming a Yin-Yang Master.
As a result, although the entrance exam of the Yin Yang School was very strict, there were still countless people who came to apply.
After becoming Natsume's Spirit-branded Retainer during the summer vacation, Spring Tiger dropped out of an ordinary high school due to the rule that Spirit-branded Retainers must always serve their master. In the end, he came to Yin-Yang School to study.
Accompanying him was his good friend, Ah Dao Dong 'er.
Unlike Spring Tiger, who had been involved in the Dalian Temple's Suzaku incident during the summer vacation and had made a certain contribution, Ah Dao Dong Er had entered the Yin Yang School with her own strength.
○
"Is this the place?"
"Yes."
Looking up at the towering building in front of him, Spring Tiger opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
Ah Dao Dong 'er also looked up at the building from under her headscarf.
The exterior of the building was elegant and exquisite, showing a style that was completely different from the other buildings around it.
The exterior of the building was made of bright granite, and the orderly window frames were painted a bright red color, adding a touch of brilliance to the stable exterior.
This was the Yin Yang School.
"I thought that a school would be old and old. Didn't they say that the Yin Yang School has more than half a century of history?"
"That's right, but this building was just completed last year. Didn't you read the introduction that the school gave out before?"
"Ah? There's an introduction? "
Ah Dao Dong 'er started to suspect that the Yin-Yang Masters who specially invited Spring Tiger into the Yin Yang School had made the wrong decision.
"Ding Ling Ling — — Ding Ling Ling — —"
The sound of a bell swaying in the wind could be heard.
"Eh, wait! That's — — "
Just as Ah Dao Dong 'er and Spring Tiger were about to step into the Yin Yang School, Spring Tiger's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this sound, and his body started to tremble involuntarily.
Turning his head to look at the other end of the street, Spring Tiger indeed saw that figure.
"Run …"
"Hmm? Spring Tiger, what's wrong with you? "
"Dong 'er, I said … Run …"
Ah Dao Dong 'er's face suddenly changed, and she grabbed Spring Tiger's arm and ran into the Yin Yang School.
"Is that the Flower Demon you were talking about!?"
"Yes … Yes …"
In the air, Spring Tiger's trembling voice seemed to be faintly heard.

The summer sun shone on the earth.
Eight-cloud Ink, dressed in a Daoist robe, ignored the stunned gazes of the passersby, held a parasol, and walked leisurely on the streets of Tokyo.
This Yin-Yang Master was placed in the open world, and it looked no different from any other ordinary city.
Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Unknowingly, he came to Shibuya.
In front, a strange building attracted Eight-cloud Ink's attention.
It wasn't that the building's shape was different from the other buildings around it — in such a big city, strange buildings were not uncommon.
Instead, the entire building was covered with several layers of enchantments.
"Hmm … Finally a little interesting."
Holding a parasol, Eight-cloud Ink turned in a direction and slowly walked toward the building.
The summer wind lifted Eight-cloud Ink's long hair.
It also made the Yin-Yang Jade pendant on his body make a crisp bell-like sound.
"Ring ring ring — Ring ring ring —"
When he was not far from the building, Eight-cloud Ink found two people standing downstairs.
One of them was the blonde boy called Spring Tiger.
But this time, the one who attracted Eight-cloud Ink was not him.
Beside the boy was a tall man with a headscarf, with a strong ghost aura.
"Ghost? No, not exactly a ghost … "
After observing the headscarf boy for a while, Eight-cloud Ink's gaze began to look at the air beside Spring Tiger.
There was nothing there with the naked eye.
However, Yakumo was able to sense that there was something in that place.
It seemed to be a Shikigami.
The aura told Eight-cloud Ink that this Shikigami was a fox.
"Fox …"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly thought of Blue.
Blue was also a Shikigami.
But whether it was Yukari or Eight-cloud Ink, they always treated Blue as family.
Spring Tiger and the half-ghost boy seemed to have discovered Eight-cloud Ink, and the two boys ran into the building in a panic.
Standing in front of the building, Eight-cloud Ink looked up at the automatic glass door at the bottom of the building.
Holding the parasol with one hand, Eight-cloud Ink opened a gap and hid in his body.
From beginning to end, the enchantment of the building did not react at all.
