Yu Xiaohan knew very well that the man in black showed this skill just to warn him.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yuanyuan had previously broken the Yu family's feng shui formation, Yu Xiaohan would probably have been scared to death just by the black-clad man's move.
At the same time, a powerful pressure was released from the man in black. Yu Xiaohan felt as if his heart was being grasped by a hand, and the blood in his body froze. Yu Xiaohan's mind was blank. He didn't understand why the man in black suddenly killed him.
Seeing Yu Xiaohan's flushed face and eyes filled with horror, the man in black weighed the time and withdrew his pressure.
"Hmph! This is a little lesson for you." After the man in black finished speaking, Yu Xiaohan felt his heart start beating again.
Yu Xiaohan, who survived the disaster, did not ask any more questions. He knew that if the man in black wanted to, he could take his life in minutes.
"Remember, in six days, you will be waiting for me in this room. Otherwise, I will not mind leaving your family with nothing." The man in black said this harshly, and then he disappeared from the chair. He really disappeared, just like when he appeared, he disappeared into thin air.
Yu Xiaohan was stunned by the man in black. He stood in the study room in a daze for a long time before opening the door and walking out into the corridor. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, just like Yu Xiaohan's current state of mind.
"God's messenger?"
"God's messenger?"
As Zhou Yuanyuan listened to Yu Xiaohan's story about the man in black who appeared and called himself "God's Messenger," Xiaoyu and the Chaos Pearl exclaimed in unison. What "idiot" was the Chaos Pearl thinking was so outrageous as to come up with such a high-sounding title? A God's Messenger? A messenger of God? Where could God exist in this dimension? If there were, it and Xiaoyu would have sensed it long ago. Why would they be so desperate to find their master to "bring them" back to the Sky Realm?
Xiaoyu was stunned, and it thought of something it had always ignored. Xiaoyu searched through its memories and found that it had never seen the existence of the underworld since it came to this time and space.
As we all know, no matter in which stable time and space, there are three realms: "human", "ghost" and "god". These three realms exist independently, yet complement each other.
The world of cultivation also belongs to the "human" world. Like ordinary people, it is the cornerstone of the "human" world and is yang.
The "ghost" world, as the name suggests, is the place where the soul temporarily resides after a person dies, and it is of the yin nature.
After an ordinary person's soul enters the "ghost" world, it must erase its memories of its previous life before it can enter reincarnation. Because of their cultivation, a monk's soul cannot become a "ghost" after death. After a monk's death, his soul and body will decompose into spiritual energy and dissipate between heaven and earth.
The "God" realm is also based on "humans," but this "human" doesn't refer to ordinary people, but to cultivators. When cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, and their strength transcends the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth in this time and space, they enter the "God" realm to continue their cultivation.
Xiaoyu has been in this time and space for more than 100,000 years, and has never seen a living "god". However, there are still many "miracles" circulating in this time and space, such as the legend of "Investiture of the Gods" thousands of years ago, which all show that in such a time and space, humans and "gods" originally lived together.
Everything in the world is composed of yin and yang. Yin gives birth to yang, and yang grows yin. In other words, there is yang only when there is yin, and there is yin only when there is yang. The yin and yang are indispensable.
Xiaoyu has been with Zhou Yuanyuan for over nine years, and in all those years, she's never noticed a ghost in this space and time. Logically, people are born and die every day, and as a jade spirit, Xiaoyu's sense of life and death is more acute than anyone else's. If a ghost messenger from the underworld were to appear, Xiaoyu would surely detect it. But strangely, Xiaoyu hasn't sensed the presence of a ghost messenger even once. Even after Zhao Qingshan's wife, Wu Baolian, died, Xiaoyu was in the same room, but she only sensed Wu Baolian's spirit leaving her body and didn't see the impermanence that came to take her soul.
If it weren't for the soul-nourishing wooden box next to her, Wu Baolian's soul would have dissipated completely within a few hours.
What did this mean? Was the Underworld on strike? Or was it collapsing? Whatever the reason, Xiaoyu was terrified.
Without the Underworld, can the world still be called complete? Among the three realms, if any one is missing, the result will be destruction.
Xiaoyu felt that this matter was too terrifying. She should observe for a while longer before making a correct judgment. If the underworld in this time and space really did not exist, then this world would be a flawed one.
Incomplete worlds are generally unstable and could collapse at any moment. Xiaoyu had heard countless reports of small worlds collapsing in her millions of years of life. But back then, Xiaoyu lived in the high and mighty Lingxiao Realm, so such news was just a passing revelation. Unlike now, she was trapped in a small world that was "suspected" of collapse, like a trapped beast, with no way forward.
"Hu Sanniang, please check quickly, how many cultivators have ascended to the upper realm in the Langyuan Secret Realm over the years? And how many cultivators are in the Spirit Transformation Realm waiting to ascend?" Xiaoyu didn't bother to contact Hu Sanniang in the Chaos Pearl through Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Ah? Boss Xiaoyu? Oh, wait a moment." Hu Sanniang was planting spiritual herbs in the Trial World when she received Xiaoyu's voice transmission. Like the Chaos Pearl, Hu Sanniang also addressed Xiaoyu as "Boss Xiaoyu." Although this boss had never appeared, Hu Sanniang knew from the Chaos Pearl's respectful demeanor that "Boss Xiaoyu" was someone not to be offended.
Hu Sanniang did not dare to delay and quickly put aside the things at hand and concentrated on fiddling with the control jade token of the Langyuan Secret Realm.
After Hu Sanniang presented the secret realm to Zhou Yuanyuan, Xiaoyu initially intended for her to refine the jade token controlling the secret realm. However, Hu Sanniang, after inheriting the Fox King's legacy, gained some control over the secret realm. Because of this, Xiaoyu suggested that Zhou Yuanyuan return the jade token to Hu Sanniang. After all, the contract between Hu Sanniang and Zhou Yuanyuan was a master-servant agreement; everything Hu Sanniang owned was also everything Zhou Yuanyuan owned.
In the world of cultivation, masters have absolute control over their spirit pets. Just like the Chaos Pearl's trial world, as long as Zhou Yuanyuan wants to enter, the Chaos Pearl will unconditionally let her in. And as long as Zhou Yuanyuan wants to use it, the Chaos Pearl will obediently contribute it, even if it consumes a huge amount of energy.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan is a good master and so far has not done anything to cause too much trouble to Hu Sanniang and Chaos Pearl.
Hu Sanniang was not very proficient in controlling the secret realm, and it took her more than ten minutes to search for all the information Xiaoyu wanted to know.
