Double Cultivation
Devil's Slit
"S-Senior Su…? How much do you know about the monster that almost destroyed the Southern Continent of the – Great Cataclysm?" Qin Liangyu asked him.
"That monster is a creature that should only exist within the – Demon Gap Dimension Crack. Crack Devils come in many shapes and sizes, not a single Slit Demon looks exactly the same as the others. The only thing that is similar about these Devils is their strength. Since they were all born in the same harsh environment, they were all extremely tough and powerful."
"It's a Dimensional Crack/Dimension Gap, basically it's a void-like place that you have to enter every time you travel very far from one place to another using teleportation, so there's a chance that you meet the Gap Devil every time you teleport to somewhere very far away."
"Of course, the Devil's Gap was no ordinary encounter. In fact, they are very rare" Su Yang explained.
"Wait a minute.. If the Great Cataclysm originated from the Dark Mirror, what if another calamity likely appeared in the future?" Qin Liangyu asked worriedly.
"While it's not impossible, it's also very unlikely" Tang Lingxi said. "As I said, only extremely weak Devils have a chance to escape from the Dimensional Crack, but even so, most of them will die while trying."
"By the way, you mentioned something about the Southern Continent being more dangerous lately, right? The treasure you have here may be the cause." Tang Lingxi said.
"What's? Why is that ?!" Qin Liangyu responded with a puzzled look.
"Although you may not be able to see it, I can sense an evil aura hidden deep within those eyes, and it might affect the surrounding realms. Besides, it grows a little bit every day. After another 100 years, this place might become a nest filled with powerful spiritual beasts" Tang Lingxi said.
"No way .." Qin Liangyu muttered in a depressed voice. "A-Is there a way to solve this problem ?!"
Tang Lingxi nodded and said, "It's actually simple. Destroy or throw it away."
"I-That's.." Qin Liangyu became hesitant. Such a task was much easier said than done, as these treasures had been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. If this tradition ended with him, he would never be able to sleep through this disgrace.
"There would be no tradition to be maintained if the Southern Continent were to be destroyed by countless spiritual beasts, right? How about this? I'll take the treasure from your hands, because I'm really useful for it, unlike you guys, who will just keep it as a decoration." Tang Lingxi said with a mysterious light in her eyes.
"…"
After hearing Tang Lingxi's suggestion, Qin Liangyu closed his eyes to ponder in silence.
What Tang Lingxi said was true. If they held the treasure, it would only bring more chaos than profit to their tribe. And also, the treasure originally belonged to Qiuyue, because it was he who killed the Gap Devil.
"Of course, I'm not going to take that precious thing for free. I'll compensate you. What about the three Immortal-level Cultivation Techniques? It will definitely be more useful to you than those eyeballs" Tang Lingxi said.
"A-A-A-Abadi level technique ?! And that's three?!" Qin Liangyu's jaw fell to the ground.
Forget about Immortal-grade techniques, they don't even have a single Heaven-level cultivation technique!
"Hows it? Is that not enough?" Tang Lingxi raised an eyebrow.
Qin Liangyu quickly shook his head. "Of course not! That's more than enough! In fact, it's too much!"
"…"
After pondering for a while longer, Qin Liangyu nodded. "The treasure originally belonged to the Goddess. I also feel guilty for accepting your compensation."
"alright. I'll give you the cultivation technique for the Devil's Crevice eyeball after I prepare it." Tang Lingxi said.
"T-Thank you, Senior!" Qin Liangyu bowed to him.
"Darling, lend me your storage ring." Tang Lingxi suddenly said to Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded and handed over his storage ring without hesitation.
As soon as he had the storage ring, Tang Lingxi approached the Devil Gap eyeball and sucked it into the storage ring.
"This. Keep this safe for me until you return to the Four Divine Heavens." Said Tang Lingxi handing another ring to Su Yang.
Since he had no way of physically carrying anything when he returned to his original body, he needed someone to carry it.
"What's your plan with these eyeballs?" Su Yang asked her with raised eyebrows.
"The Asura God Clan will benefit from the chaotic energy within the Devil Gap eyeball. After all, unlike normal cultivators who were cultivating using pure spiritual energy, those who were cultivating the techniques of the Asura God Clan had to do so with chaotic spiritual energy. Besides, the Gap Devil is also a very rare entity, so I wanted to add it to my collection. It will definitely make it more valuable." Tang Lingxi said with a smile.
"You're still collecting something dangerous like that? Why am I not surprised?" Su Yang smiled.
"By the way, once we're done here, let's go to another tribe and see what information they have for the Dark Mirror" Su Yang said again.
Qin Liangyu nodded.
"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, Senior Su, why are you researching the Dark Mirror? Are you planning to enter it?" Qin Liangyu suddenly asked.
"It's so thick." He calmly nodded. "i was planning to enter it when the mirror appeared again."
"Are you not worried that it will take you everywhere? If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage to go inside, because I'm afraid of the unknown" Qin Liangyu said.
"For cultivators, sometimes there are things in life that are scarier than death itself." Said Su Yang. "Or is there a goal you must achieve even if you may die in the process."
"This is especially true for me. If I fear death, then I will never be able to protect the things I cherish and the people I love. It is that simple." said Su Yang.
"Isn't it .." Qin Liangyu muttered in a low voice, as if speechless. He might even be fascinated by his words.
