Chapter 5: The Female Demon Lord Arrives in Reality

The Lanqun Nüzi is indeed Mo Sangyu.

To find her husband's reincarnated body, she followed the Guidance of Daoism, ascended from the Dou Xuan Continent, and arrived in this world.

On the Dou Xuan Continent, she was the unrivaled Demon Lord.

Here, she is still strong, but not the strongest.

By sensing the completeness of the Heaven and Earth rules, Mo Sangyu realized that this world still harbors many beings stronger than she.

But she is confident.

Given enough time, she can also reach the pinnacle in this world.

Finding her husband is difficult; only by continuously growing stronger can she precisely pinpoint his reincarnated body.

Rumble!

A massive roar in the mountains and forest interrupted Mo Sangyu's thoughts.

"Who dares come? How dare you invade Yunmeng Ancient Forest, leave at once!"

A voice like a thunderclap exploded through the Ancient Forest, and four massive figures charged in from the east, south, west, and north.

To the east stood a fierce tiger, with a pair of wings on its back and a golden pattern on its forehead.

To the west was a Giant Ape, bearing a massive log on its shoulder, its eyes crimson.

To the north was a three-headed python, its body covered in violet scales.

To the south was a great bird, a black pearl in its beak, its whole body wreathed in flames.

These are the four great ferocious beasts of Yunmeng Ancient Forest, who rule this land, command all beasts, and none of the living near the Ancient Forest dare disobey.

Staring at the Lanqun Nüzi before them, the four great beast kings circled without attacking, daring not to act rashly.

"Mother, what kind of animals are they? They're so ugly,"

A babyish voice rang out, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"Mengmeng, close your eyes and count three numbers, and for mother, make these ugly monsters go away, okay?" Mo Sangyu affectionately patted her daughter's head.

"Okay~"

The moment her daughter Lin Rumeng closed her eyes, Mo Sangyu's blue dress turned into red, and her aura became extremely cold.

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

The four great beast kings' expressions changed drastically, instantly taking human form, their knees going weak, and they fell to the ground with a thud.

"Three, two, one!"

Three counts.

When Xiao Rumeng opened her eyes again, the four ugly beasts were gone, replaced by two strange uncles and two beautiful aunties.

"Wow, the ugly animals really disappeared, Mom, you're amazing!"

Xiao Rumeng cheered joyfully.

"All thanks to Mengmeng's counting," Mo Sangyu smiled gently, then turned to the four great beast kings, "This place is called Yunmeng Ancient Forest, right?"

"Yes."

The four great beast kings broke into cold sweat, bowing their heads extremely low.

"From now on, Yunmeng Ancient Forest is my domain; do any of you have objections?"

Mo Sangyu thought, having just arrived, she needed a home.

When her husband returns in the future, she'll also need a place to sleep.

Besides, she and her husband aren't officially married yet; the scenery of Yunmeng Ancient Forest is nice, so she'll treat it as her dowry.

"Jinchihu, bow before the master."

"Chiyuan, bow before the master."

"Three-headed snake, bow before the master."

"Heiyan Que, bow before the master."

The four great beast kings hesitated not, immediately kowtowing submissively; this mysterious Human woman standing before them was far stronger than they were.

If they refused, they would die a terrible death.

"Give me a report on Yunmeng Ancient Forest."

Mo Sangyu, on the Dou Xuan Continent, was a generation's supreme ruler; managing a small faction there was a piece of cake.

The four great beast kings presented detailed intelligence of their respective territories.

This world is called the Nine-phase World, vast and boundless, divided into nine great domains.

Each of the nine great domains contains several thousand prefectures.

Yunmeng Ancient Forest belongs to a blessed treasure land of a small continent within them.

This small continent is called Qingyun Prefecture, named so because a cultivator of the Supreme realm once emerged here, titled Supreme of Qingyun, giving the name to Qingyun Prefecture.

"Supreme realm?"

Mo Sangyu guessed that her current realm was equivalent to the Supreme realm; after fully transforming the Heaven and Earth rules, she should be able to advance further.

"The land is too vast, which isn't good; where should I go to find my husband's reincarnated body?"

Gradually adapting to the Heaven and Earth rules, Mo Sangyu became increasingly certain that husband Lin Chuan's reincarnated body was in this world.

She just couldn't pinpoint his exact location.

"Mother, when will we go find Daddy?"

Xiao Rumeng looked up, opening her mouth 'Daddy', closing her mouth 'Daddy', full of anticipation.

One of the four great beast kings twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Daddy?"

What kind of deity could subdue such a formidable woman?

The most damned thing is, the other party even ran away after pulling up their pants?

Even viewed through the eyes of the demon tribe, the human woman before them is extremely beautiful, her Daoist aura a natural talent, as if heaven-made, perfect to the utmost.

Such a celestial immortal-like person, they would be willing to bear children for that person, enduring all kinds of hardship in search.

It seems that person is an even more troublesome individual.

Mo Sangyu lifted her daughter, saying, "Mengmeng, don't be anxious; let mother divine a hexagram, and you'll be able to see your father."

Within Qingyun Prefecture, the human race and demon tribe coexist.

The leader of the demon tribe's forces is none other than the Yunmeng Ancient Forest.

The human race's forces are chiefly the three great dynasties of Great Yan, Great Qi, and Nanzhao.

The two sides have lived peacefully for many years, with no interference—well water does not trespass on river water.

"You four, help this venerable one with a matter." Mo Sangyu decided to first employ the most primitive search method.

"I will dutifully follow the lord's orders."

"Go to the human realm and help me find a person named Lin Chuan."

"As you command."

The Four Ferocious Beast Kings etched this name into their hearts.

In their hearts, this is a divine person.

"My lord, I have a question."

The Jin Chi Hu Wang spoke bitterly: "In Qingyun Prefecture's human territory, there are probably eighty thousand people named Lin Chuan; do you have any other clues?"

"None."

Mo Sangyu shook her head.

She wasn't even sure whether her husband's reincarnated self in this world was still called Lin Chuan.

Perhaps he had long since changed his name.

Using this method out of desperation, if we find him it's great; if not, it's no big deal.

Once she fully adapts to the heavenly and earthly rules of the merged Nine-phase World, she should be able to precisely locate her husband's reincarnated self.

"Yes."

The Four Ferocious Beast Kings dared not defy, received the order and departed.

……

Great Yan Dynasty.

Youshui Xian.

Lin Chuan, having completed the dream-cycle reincarnation, joyfully obtained the Flame-Extinction Sword Manual.

After letting the maid simmer a bowl of ten-ingredient tonic to nourish his body, he eagerly began practicing the Flame-Extinction Sword Manual, the process going even more smoothly than imagined.

In just half an incense stick's time, he successfully drew qi into his body, formally embarking on the path of cultivation.

"Could it be that I'm really a genius?"

Lin Chuan was overjoyed.

The sword manual he created in his dream actually matches him in reality just as well.

"According to the book, even a lowly cultivator, if not caught off-guard, can match the fiercest martial artists of Youshui Xian."

"In other words, do I now have the means to stand against Zhao Si Shu?"

Zhao Si is the finest martial artist of their Lin clan's merchant house, serving as captain of the guard, his martial arts ranking among the best in Youshui Xian.

"Twenty years of Shu's kung fu, yet merely half an incense stick's time of drawing qi into the body can match it?"

Lin Chuan still lacked confidence in his heart.

Only after Zhao Si Shu returns and they exchange blows will he know his true strength.

Furthermore, he must quickly ascertain the cultivation realms of this world.

"Young master! Something's wrong, young master!"

As Lin Chuan was practicing fervently, a voice came from outside the courtyard—the maid Lü Ya, panicked and rushed, heedless of propriety, stumbled in.

"What's the matter, Lü Ya?" Lin Chuan asked.

Lü Ya's face turned deathly pale, she could barely catch her breath,

"Young… young master, something major has happened; the miss orders you to come at once—Zhao… Zhao the chief is dead, his corpse has just been brought back by the officials."
