After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 58 Human World

The Wind Chaser stopped in front of the barrier gate, and the group jumped down. Su Luo immediately put the Wind Chaser away.

There were two guards on duty at the barrier gate. They were used to the low-key, face-covering cultivators and didn't even raise their eyelids. They pointed to the booklet on the table next to them.

"Complete the registration."

Feng Xiyue nodded to Su Luo, "I'll go."

Chu Wenqing leaned over and peeked inside.

Just to be on the safe side, the basic information written by Feng Xiyue is all false.

Su Luo gazed silently at the barrier gate, filled with emotion.

There are two rules between the spirit world and the human world: First, cultivators must not reveal their identity as cultivators after entering the human world; second, cultivators must not harm ordinary people at will.

Those who violate the second rule, in particular, will be arrested by the Immortal Alliance stationed in the human realm if discovered, and in serious cases, they may even lose their lives. Even if the violator manages to escape to the spirit realm, the four major sects of the spirit realm will capture them and punish them severely.

This regulation was formulated by the human emperor and the leader of the Immortal Alliance after a great war a thousand years ago, when the spirit realm was in ruins and needed help from the human realm. It's clear how much effort those two put into ensuring the survival of the human realm.

Su Luo admired these two people quite a bit.

Even though more than a thousand years have passed, and countless emperors have come and gone, and the Immortal Alliance has had several leaders, this ironclad rule continues to be enforced without fail. This demonstrates the remarkable abilities of these two individuals.

After registering, the four were allowed to enter the barrier.

As Su Luo stepped into the barrier, she suddenly felt something vibrating in her storage bag.

But the next moment, the vortex-like barrier sucked all four of them in, and a powerful sense of weightlessness made Su Luo forget everything else.

After the group entered the barrier, a commotion broke out at the foot of the mountain.

Someone noticed something amiss: "What's going on?! The barrier around the Cloud Realm just showed some unusual activity!"

"I felt it too! Could it be that it's going to start earlier than planned?!"

Some people felt nothing at all. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? There's nothing there. The Cloud Realm is still completely silent."

"That's right. Ancestor Hongyuan said that the Cloud Realm wouldn't open for another six months, so why would it open early?"

"It's weird..."

"Could it be... just our imagination?"

However, no matter how puzzled they were, the Cloud Realm remained silent once again, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

……

In the human realm, in Tianshui City, is a town connected to the barrier gate.

As one of the most prosperous capitals in the human realm, Tianshui City was bustling with people as the Shangsi Festival was celebrated. Along the riverbank, people stood in twos and threes releasing lanterns. The lanterns, glowing orange in the candlelight, floated on the water, shining even brighter than the starry Milky Way in the sky.

Chu Wenqing kept exclaiming, "It's so lively..."

Feng Xiyue nodded in agreement, "Yes, everyone has a smile on their face. Compared to the Spirit Realm where everyone is focused on cultivation, the people here seem to be happier."

Although Floating Light Town is also lively, it still pales in comparison to the human world.

Lin Ji glanced at her and then looked away without interest, keeping his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him.

Su Luo strode forward, "Let's find a place to stay for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."

The group quickly found a restaurant and were about to go in when Chu Wenqing suddenly spoke up.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to ask. You said you were going to find a small island, but we don't have a general direction. Are we just going to search randomly like this?"

"Nature has its own direction."

Su Luo pointed south, "I remember that the South China Sea in the human realm is almost entirely islands, sparsely populated, making it the most suitable place to settle down."

Chu Wenqing recalled the novel's content and confirmed that the demon race had not invaded the south until the finale, so he couldn't help but give Su Luo a thumbs up.

"Visionary!"

Feng Xiyue didn't know the contents of the novel, but she already knew Su Luo's ultimate goal, so she nodded in agreement, "The South China Sea is great, let's go there then."

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes.

He forgot to ask Su Luo what she wanted to do after finding the island...

"However, on my way to the South China Sea, I'd like to stop by a certain place."

Su Luo looked south, her gaze suddenly shifting, "Let's go see... my former family..."

Those who cultivate immortality must sever all worldly ties once they embark on the path to immortality. Therefore, the original owner never saw her family again after going to the spirit world. Now that the original owner has disappeared, she has taken over someone else's body and come to the human world, so she might as well take one last look at the original owner's relatives…

While Su Luo was still deep in thought, she didn't notice that the boy beside her suddenly stiffened and clenched his fists.

And so the plan was set. The four of them found a hotel to stay in, and after a long day of work, they quickly fell asleep.

Besides Lin Ji...

After setting up an undisturbed barrier around the room, he sat quietly in the darkness until a gust of black wind blew open the window, at which point he looked up.

Under the moonlight, after the black wind dissipated, a tall man in black appeared. His face was handsome and stern, and his eyes were as fierce and cold as a wild beast.

However, upon seeing the boy, the man's eyes immediately filled with awe. He bowed his head, knelt on one knee, and called out.

"Your subordinate Cang Yan greets Young Master."

Lin Ji's eyes remained calm, and his tone was even, "I'm not some young master. I told you to get lost back in Floating Light Town, but you've been persistent. Do you want to die?"

Having said that, he no longer suppressed his cultivation, unleashing a torrent of killing intent as he faced the demon before him. If it weren't for the barrier, the entire town would likely have been terrified.

While in Floating Light Town, Lin Ji sensed an unfamiliar demonic aura and gave chase. He discovered it was a demon deliberately leaking its presence. Upon arriving, the demon suddenly appeared, calling him "Young Master" and begging him to return to the Demon Realm to revive the demon race—utterly baffling!

Lin Ji was eager to return home and didn't want to get entangled with this demon, so he told him to get lost. Unexpectedly, the demon persisted and followed them all the way to the human realm! He was practically courting death!

Suppressed by the pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivation, Cang Yan trembled all over, his face suddenly losing all color. He could only forcefully steady his mind and continue speaking.

"Young Master, the Demon Realm truly needs you! Since the Demon Lord's passing thirteen years ago, the Demon Realm has been in a state of chaos, leaderless, barely holding on thanks to the Left and Right Protectors. But since my father's death, the Right Protector, Xingyuan Jun, has become increasingly ambitious, and I am currently unable to contend with him. If we don't find a way soon, he might forcibly seize the throne of Demon Lord! Now, the only thing we can do is ask you to return to the Demon Realm with me, ascend to that supreme position, and safeguard the Demon Realm's security!"

Lin Ji remained unmoved after listening: "Not interested. Besides, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere and called me some kind of young master, what makes you so sure?"

That woman never revealed a single piece of information until her death. How could he have become the Demon Lord's child?

Cang Yan endured the immense pressure and raised his eyes. His demonic eyes could clearly see the boy's appearance in the darkness, confirming once again that Lin Ji was indeed the child of the former Demon Lord!

"Young Master, I believe you are the Demon Lord's child for two reasons. First, your appearance is seven or eight parts similar to the former Demon Lord. If you don't believe me, there are portraits of the former Demon Lord in the Demon Realm. You can go and see for yourself."

He paused, then said something startling: "Secondly, you possess the aura of the Demon Sword Burning Heaven; only those with the aptitude of a Demon Lord can wield this sword!"

Lin Ji's eyes suddenly turned unfathomably black.

"Oh?"
