Chapter 9 - 9: Nine Yin and Nine Yang

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Nine Yin and Nine Yang

Worlds differ, rules differ.

The moment Jiang Ming stepped into the World Gate, his head was slightly dizzy. Astral travelling had brought him to another one-party world, appearing beside a mountain road.

Immediately, he showed caution, observing his surroundings and carefully sensing for any dangers before relaxing a bit.

At the same time, some information about the World of Secret Realm surfaced in his mind.

The World Secret Realm that those in the Martial Arts Second Realm enter are usually second-tier secret realms. The strongest within them are at the Martial Arts Third layer, and at the most can reach the quasi-fourth layer.

This is a limitation of power.

To escape and leave the Secret Realm, and simultaneously gain all the learning, there are two known criteria that apply to most worlds: Become the acknowledged strongest in the Secret Realm World or become the Supreme of Ninety-five.

The strongest power, the strongest authority.

Other conditions depend on the specific world or the degree of evolution.

At this moment, a distorted screen appeared before his eyes, displaying lines of text.

Secret Realm: Nine Yin and Nine Yang World.

Limitations: The survival limit is three years. In the last year, the world's will repel and powerful beings of this world will sense the general location of the outsiders and hunt them down in the name of exterminating demons and protecting the Dao. Note: Only the general location can be sensed.

Exit conditions: First, persevere for three years; second, obtain five top-secret books; third, comprehend a brand-new top secret skill. Note: Completing the first condition allows you to leave at any time, but everything gained in this place will be erased. n-.o(-v-.E/(l)/b.(1/.n

Achievement conditions: First, become the recognized strongest; second, become the Emperor; third, comprehend a martial arts realm; fourth, obtain the Nine Yin Divine Art and Nine Yang True Scripture. Note: Achieving any of these allows you to leave at any time while keeping all non-material gains intact.

There were two grey buttons at the bottom: Leave, Achieve.

The content was actually very simple, surviving in this place for three years.

If it wasn't for the last year when the Heaven and Earth's will repelling him, and being hunted by powerful beings sensing his location in this world, there would be no difficulty.

But it's obvious, coming here is asking for trouble.

Exit conditions are difficult.

Achievement conditions are even more difficult.

"Is the intention of the World Secret Realm to cultivate and select the powerful?"

Jiang Ming pondered secretly.

Becoming the strongest or the Emperor within three years? It's as difficult as reaching the heavens. He isn't familiar with the Nine Yin and Nine Yang cultivation skills, but comprehending an entirely new realm?

That's even more difficult than becoming the Emperor.

If he reached the Third layer of martial arts and comprehended the realm, he would be equivalent to a quasi-fourth level powerhouse.

"No wonder so few people can truly benefit."

Let alone gaining benefits, even the exit conditions are not simple.

Comprehending secret skills? For those in the Martial Arts Second Realm, it's like a fantasy. The key is that the time is too short, only two years of development before a final year of fighting.

Collecting top martial arts? Without the power of the third layer, it's very difficult to achieve.

As for achievements?

He's not too worried about that. With his comprehension, creating a new law is not difficult, at least he can get the condition to leave at any time, and stand invincible in the innate realm.

While thinking, he also examined the surrounding environment.

Below his feet was the mountain road, flanked by high mountains on the left and right.

After carefully sensing it again, he discovered something unexpected: the gravity in this world seemed lighter, no, restriction would be more accurate.

As he circulated the Guiyuan Sutra, there was no feeling of stagnation, he could continue his cultivation.

"It's just that the absorption of primal qi is slower, far less than that in the Main World. No, it's because of the low vitality concentration in this world."

Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown.

For him, this was not good news.

"The most important thing now is to figure out the situation here."

As Jiang Ming was considering his situation, he heard the sound of horseshoes getting closer, accompanied by laughter and conversation.

"Haha, we made a fortune this time."

"Yeah, I didn't expect this group of merchants to have three thousand taels of silver hidden in their midst. That's enough to eat for a year."

"Damn it, there are no women around. It's killing me. Boss, should we raid a village, kill them all, and keep the women for some fun?"

"Fun my ass. If word gets out, those other bandit groups will definitely hunt us down. They're all heartless, rotten scoundrels."

Jiang Ming's hearing was extraordinary, which made him frown slightly.

"Robbers? No, they should be mountain bandits."

"They even want to slaughter villages, truly evil!"

"This world isn't peaceful; otherwise, these bandits wouldn't dare to run rampant, let alone massacre villages."

Jiang Ming shook his head, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Soon, a group of more than twenty people appeared in front, all riding horses, like a sweeping gale, roaring as they came.

He focused on their senses, and felt slightly relieved.

None of them were strong.

Even the one at the front hadn't reached the stage of communicating with the outer world through Qi, which meant they hadn't reached even Martial Arts Second Realm.

Their blood qi wasn't strong either, and in his eyes, they all had a thick killing aura, with only two of them having less.

Whinny!

The horse neighed, stopping abruptly.

"A white-faced scholar? Tsk tsk, that face is so pale, even paler than a woman's chest." The leader at the front stared at Jiang Ming and couldn't help but lick his lips, revealing a wicked grin.

"Haha, boss, this is what you like, isn't it? Do you want us to catch him and send him to your room?"

"Get lost, with your filthy claws, don't dirty my sweetheart! I can't take it anymore. I'll peel him to have some fun!"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but shudder, tightening his buttocks.

"Sweetheart, come, come, sing that song 'Backyard Flower' with me!" The leader was quite burly, but his skin was extremely rough.

He got off his horse and walked over.

"Damn it, such bad luck!" Jiang Ming spat, feeling disgusted, "You want to lay your hands on me? I'll take you down first!"

Without another word, he moved, shooting forward like an arrow.

Fast, very fast.

The mountain bandit leader's pupils shrank in shock, quickly retreating while trying to draw his Mountain-cutting Blade from his back. However, just as he had pulled out halfway, Jiang Ming had already arrived, landing a punch on his shoulder.

Bang...

His shoulder exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

His left shoulder was completely shattered.

The mountain bandit leader screamed as he was sent flying backward, crashing in front of a horse and spitting out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly yelled, "This brat is tough! All of you, attack!"

Being hardened criminals, they all jumped up and charged forward.

The blades whistled, faces ferocious.

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, causing their speed to slow down a bit, as he exhaled a foul breath and attacked again.

His fists were like dragons, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Bang...

With a single punch, he turned the closest attacker and his weapon into a bloody mist, causing the remaining bandits to pause, then shriek in horror and fear.

Even Jiang Ming was surprised, but he didn't stop.

He alternated between Military Boxing and Domineering Boxing, like a wolf among sheep. In just a short time, everyone else, except for the two who hadn't dismounted, lay on the ground.

The horses neighed in pain and anguish.

Jiang Ming looked at the last two.

"Hero, please spare us!" One of them, an elder with a goatee, and small, rolling eyes fell to his knees after rolling off his horse. "This old man has not committed any evil, please spare my life!"

The other one was a young man, who bowed with a clenched fist, cautious yet fearful, with a hint of satisfaction.

"Interesting!" Jiang Ming laughed.
