Changqing reluctantly opened the giant, person-height packaging box beside him and took out the contents.
Inside the dust bag was a naked female body.
To be precise, it was a 1:1 life-size, body-temperature-sensitive, intelligent-sounding, fully automatic motor, alloy-skeleton, six-in-one, simulated silicone doll.
Incidentally, it was also the 'Long-legged Mature Woman' version.
When that boss enthusiastically introduced his 'treasure of the shop' to Changqing, even he, who had faced countless dangers in the Hehuan Sect without batting an eye, wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Just returned from the market, one hand holding a pig's head, the other a rooster, and then entering an adult store—what kind of Hellish scene was this?
Carrying the doll to the bed, Changqing pressed his forehead against it.
"Let's treat a dead horse as if it's alive. Right now, the only things I can get that fit the concept of 'flesh and blood body,' besides a pig's head and live chicken, are silicone dolls."
With a thought, he activated the black phantom in his mind. The humanoid black phantom became blurry, and finally, it truly dissipated in his mind, converging into the doll before him.
"Is this... a success?"
"Boy, what is this place!"
Before Changqing could confirm, the doll beneath him Suddenly cried out, startling him. He hastily retreated, falling backward onto the ground.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked on in disbelief, only to see that the doll's mouth made no movement and remained expressionless.
Although he had seen many strange things in another world, this was truly happening on Earth; how could he not be surprised?
"Quickly bring this Immortal Master's clothes! If you keep staring, do you believe I won't dig out your eyes!"
The doll's voice came again. Only then did Changqing realize that her mouth indeed hadn't moved; the sound came from a small, hidden speaker behind her neck.
"Are you Dan Ji?" Changqing asked tentatively.
"Otherwise? What exactly have you done to this Immortal Master? What kind of Soul Law method is this!"
The doll spoke with her somewhat stiff electronic voice, frantically rolling her eyeballs, but she could do nothing, only lying there quietly, motionless.
Changqing calmed down and sorted out the current situation.
Clearly, Dan Ji had indeed been brought back to the real world by his Rebirth ability.
And she seemed to have lost all power to resist, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.
This was undoubtedly good news for him.
So, what state would Dan Ji in the Hundred Flowers Cave be in when he Transmigrated again?
Changqing thought for a Moment; there were three possibilities.
The first possibility: Dan Ji completely ceased to exist; she was no longer a person in the other world.
The second possibility: Dan Ji in the other world was as usual; the original Evil Lord Dan Ji and the doll Dan Ji in this world coexisted.
The third possibility: Dan Ji in the other world had lost her Soul, becoming a walking corpse, a living dead body.
He arrived at these three conclusions, obviously influenced by countless film and television novels. The first had a distinct Cthulhu flavor, the second was a time-travel science fiction style, and the third leaned more towards traditional Xuanhuan.
"Instead of guessing blindly, why not ask her."
Changqing deliberated for a Moment, then spoke.
"I believe you can also feel it, right? This place is completely different from your original world. There is no Spiritual Qi, no Imperial Spirit. This is my original world, and your Soul has been brought here by me."
"Now you are at my mercy. If you want to live, you must listen to me."
Dan Ji's voice clearly hesitated.
"You said, you are an Outer Realm Demon?"
"Impossible. How could an Outer Realm Demon travel between two Realms? Don't try to deceive me."
Changqing was somewhat puzzled by her statement and asked, "What do you mean by Outer Realm Demon? I don't understand."
Dan Ji was silent for a Moment. She seemed to have recovered her composure from her confusion and surprise. Her simulated eyeballs rolled around, surveying her surroundings.
"Isn't this the Jiuzhou Realm?"
Changqing shook his head. This place is called Earth, not some Jiuzhou Realm you speak of.
"Earth? Never heard of it. What is your purpose in trapping me here... Wait!" She Suddenly trembled in surprise.
"You are Nie Tian! I understand now. No wonder you still have such a terrifying evil entity sealed within you. No wonder you have such terrifying will and mind at such a young age. So you are Nie Tian. That explains it."
"Nie Tian? What is Nie Tian?"
"It's normal for you not to know what Nie Tian is. After Nie Tian's Reincarnation, he will lose his past life memories, only considering himself an ordinary person until a specific period. Only after his Awakening can he recover all his memories."
Changqing was completely confused and still didn't quite understand.
"You mentioned Outer Realm Demon and Nie Tian, but I don't fully understand either. Please explain them more clearly to me."
"Alas," Dan Ji sighed, "Since I've been captured into your Heaven Domain, I can no longer resist at all. I might as well follow you. If I can rise to prominence with you, it will be worth it."
"An Outer Realm Demon is a person from one Realm who is Reincarnated into another Realm with their past life memories."
"Oh, what is a Realm? You probably don't know that either, which is normal. Some Cultivators, even when they Cultivate to a very high Realm, don't know of the existence of Realms, thinking that where they are is the whole world."
"In fact, this world is divided into four Realms: Jiuzhou, Eight Boundaries, Eight Wilderness Domain, and Ba Yan. These four Realms are like four rings, nested within each other yet not interconnected. Therefore, people within a Realm rarely know of the existence of other Realms."
"The place where the Hundred Flowers Cave is located is precisely within the Eight Boundaries Realm, and I, on the other hand, come from the Eight Wilderness Domain. After enduring many difficulties, by a stroke of Opportunity, I came from the Eight Wilderness Domain to the Eight Boundaries."
Changqing, being well-traveled and knowledgeable, immediately understood what a Realm meant.
It was roughly similar to the Flat Earth theory some people believe in: the center of the Earth is the North Pole, the South Pole is a circle of icebergs surrounding the Earth, and beyond the South Pole, there exists a vaster unknown world.
"Among them, Jiuzhou is located at the center of the four great Realms. Beyond Jiuzhou is the Eight Boundaries, beyond the Eight Boundaries is the Eight Wilderness Domain, and beyond the Eight Wilderness Domain is Ba Yan. A person's Soul from one Realm being Reincarnated into another Realm is called an Outer Realm Demon."
After Dan Ji finished speaking, Changqing interrupted, "Since it's a secret, why do you know so much about it?"
"Because I am an Outer Realm Demon."
"Hehehe," she gave a slightly bitter laugh, "Perhaps it's fate's favor, or perhaps it's the information asymmetry brought by Reincarnation. Outer Realm Demons often have more talent than ordinary people, always stirring up trouble and accomplishing great deeds, which also incites jealousy from others. Any Cultivator with higher cultivation has a consensus: to nip Outer Realm Demons in the bud."
Changqing then asked, "What is Nie Tian?"
Dan Ji replied, "Compared to Outer Realm Demons, Nie Tian is even more extraordinary. Outer Realm Demons can only be called one in ten thousand, while Nie Tian is one in ten thousand years."
"You only know of eight cultivation Realms, right?" she asked in return.
"I only know six: Suddenly, instant, Moment, instant, instant, Thousand Autumn," Changqing replied.
"Above Thousand Autumn, there are Haigu and Heaven Desolation Realm. In fact, above the Heaven Desolation Realm, there is also the Eternal Realm, which is called the Great Emperor."
"But due to the Heavenly Dao's restrictions, only one person can exist in the Eternal Realm in each era."
"And if, in the same era, there are other strong individuals who have achieved Perfection in Heaven Desolation Realm cultivation, they cannot step into the Eternal Realm."
"To enter the Eternal Realm, they will undergo Reincarnation and dismemberment, sealing their innate Imperial Spirit within their Soul, while their entire cultivation is stored in a Small World opened within their Soul, called the Heaven Domain. Such a Reincarnated person is Nie Tian."
"Nie Tian will remain dormant within the Heaven Domain, appearing in an era when a Great Emperor falls. He will possess another person, starting from scratch, step by step, re-Cultivating to the Heaven Desolation Realm. Then he will retrieve his Heaven Desolation Realm Perfection cultivation, which was sealed in the Small World of his Soul, to most quickly assault the Eternal Realm."
Changqing finally understood. Nie Tian was like a second-ranked player in a game who transfers their account resources to a sub-account, with the goal of switching servers to claim the top spot.
But what did this have to do with him? He was a native Earthling; how could he be Nie Tian from another world?
