She is truly the most astonishing elder in this world...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright moonlight filtered through the tall, dense, slender bamboo leaves, scattering delicate silver glimmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now in a famous bamboo grove located in Kōsō County, once renowned for the paper and ink made from its bamboo, but from some unknown time onward, it had become a place where entry was permitted but exit forbidden, having swallowed hundreds of lives, known locally as the Lost Bamboo Grove—the Demon Bamboo Grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its reputation was neither too great nor too small, fitting perfectly into an era teeming with strange legends, demons, and monsters—strong ones had no interest, weak ones could not discern the truth, so few people lived near this grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as long as the intelligence expert Yagami Shiki searched her own memories, she could quickly locate this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her Gap technique seemed ineffective within the Lost Bamboo Grove; no matter how hard she searched, she could not find the Eternal Pavilion that Jia Ji described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to unreliable sources, during the Cretaceous period two hundred million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed, the god Yagami Kanami once instructed the primitive human Piko...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, how do you even know something like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jia Ji dredge up such absurd information, Yagami Shiki once again felt that the scarcity of her own intelligence paled in comparison—truly tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the surroundings gradually changed, white mist spread, thickened, the bamboo leaned at odd angles, their dense leaves blocking out the sky, the grove perpetually shrouded in fog, appearing deep and mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far taller than ordinary bamboo, they could no longer be called bamboo—only bamboo-trees, all in all varieties of the resilient Mao bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though narrow paths wound between the overlapping bamboo, the ground sloped slightly, making balance difficult; even if one intended to walk straight, one would inevitably return to the starting point, the grove deeply serene and quiet, mist swirling, directions indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place seemed severed from the outside world; summer’s heat could not penetrate its interior, and its seasons appeared chaotic—spring bamboo shoots grew here, glowing bamboo could be seen at night, and even...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bamboo flowers?! This is bad...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, pale white bamboo flowers appeared in Jia Ji’s vision, startling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo flowers bloom only once every sixty years—and they had just stumbled upon one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Fūken Yūka, who was admiring the flowers, sensing her mood was pleasant—he guessed she had used some ability to force the flowers to bloom, causing the Lost Bamboo Grove to flower prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No blades. Safe to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve entered... another world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yagami Shiki, after all, was a Youkai Sage; even if she were sluggish, she wouldn’t fail to perceive the truth of this place upon entering. After a moment of focused sensing, she said with certainty: “The universe here differs from the outside universe. Time endlessly cycles. The caster’s skill may surpass even ours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it does!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though both are Sages, the prefix “Moon” carries far more weight than “Youkai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had tested it upon arrival: this bamboo grove possessed regenerative power. Destroyed things reset and repaired themselves in the blink of an eye; the space in all directions constantly shifted. The laws of time and space from the outside world held no sway here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving aside the immense power required, the computational transformations involved were beyond mortal imagination—even a Youkai Sage whose computational power could calculate the length of the Sanzu River was secretly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yagami Eirin... is undoubtedly a Level of Madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Lost Bamboo Grove, all that met the eye was endless bamboo, boundless, with no discernible end—far exceeding its natural boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they stepped into this grove, the absurd disparity between inside and outside became clear—but this merely troubled them, not paralyzed them with helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Yagami Shiki for mechanism, Fūken Yūka for raw power, and Jia Ji for intelligence, this team could not only break through the bamboo grove—they could even challenge Yagami Eirin to a friendly match and give the God of Wisdom a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Fūken Yūka, mere minutes after leaving the Saigyouji mansion, she had already restored her power. Though she lacked her Sunflower Field nearby, she had merely lost the ability to summon another dream version of herself and the field’s support—her base combat strength remained at maximum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall we break the barrier now?” Yagami Shiki asked. With their combined abilities, the bamboo grove might delay them slightly, but it could not truly stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Yagami Shiki’s realm power could overturn the barrier, nor Fūken Yūka’s ultra-wide light cannon capable of bursting it open—even Jia Ji could use his newly awakened acupoint technique to locate the earth veins and spiritual energy converging from all directions and strike them with a single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though difficult, if he merely turned this node into a secret aperture to rupture the small world’s structure, Jia Ji could still accomplish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless of the method, Jia Ji chose none—instead, he chose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Head north.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Big Dipper still shone brightly overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the star-usage’s presence was so strong, people often forgot that in ancient times, these stars had another well-known function—navigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Jia Ji, since he could see the Big Dipper, that meant the Big Dipper, through the grove’s barrier, could also see him—thus, he could never be lost again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking further, Jia Ji suddenly halted, his expression shifting. He extended one index finger toward the dense depths of the bamboo grove, where a hidden gaze was watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inaba no Tsuki, you’re watching us, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white mist obscuring vision and hiding forms suddenly trembled. A figure flashed past like lightning, vanishing into deeper shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet with the dynamic vision of a martial artist and a great youkai, it was easy to discern: the shadow was a girl with rabbit ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jia Ji exposed her, she instantly twisted her body, her speed exploding—no slower than the two Great Tengu they had encountered that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder suddenly cracked through the bamboo grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no oh no oh no...” Feeling the massive figure rapidly approaching from behind, the rabbit-eared girl screamed as she sprinted desperately: “I’m terrified!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inaba Tsuki, who wandered into the wrong bamboo grove and was now being chased by a dark ninja (crossed out)—a dark martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-21T02:38:14.072Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","17d2f18d89a9ca3e3e2bbc89ae94de6943826c0b94e772e69d62029381a7cc0e","chat-group-my-northern-dipper-fist-will-never-lo-chapter-225","chat-group-my-northern-dipper-fist-will-never-lo-chapter-223",355,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fchat-group-my-northern-dipper-fist-will-never-lo-cover.jpg"]
