With the screeching sound of 'zzzh-zzzh', it was like the squeals of a swarm of rats.

An eerie, grotesque monster covered in gray hair leapt out of the well, only to be thrown aside by a flick of Zhang Feng's hand.

"Demon… demon…"

The crowd instinctively wanted to run upon seeing the monster, but in their fear, it was as if their legs were lead, unable to take a step.

"Such strong Evil Qi…" Lin Dao You frowned, not expecting such a spirit monster in this small village.

Whoosh—

The daoist quickly took out a Talisman gifted by Zhang Feng, ready to toss it out.

"Zzzh-zzzh!" The weasel, captured from its sleep, looked at Zhang Feng, who emitted terrifying waves of Spiritual Qi, and started kowtowing like a human, pleading for mercy.

This weasel had already become a spirit.

Seeing such human-like behavior from the weasel, chills spread among the crowd.

Zhang Feng remained unmoved, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, covered its head with his palm, easily severing it from a distance.

"The demon is eliminated."

Zhang Feng looked at the crowd, "Now that it's dead, soon there will be no source for the Evil Qi.

I will use a Talisman to dispel the Evil Qi on you as a remedy, and you will return to normal.

As for this well…"

Zhang Feng used his Spiritual Sense to draw a Talisman, and an imperceptible Talisman appeared in the air, instantly dispersing the Evil Qi within the well,

"It's fine, you can still use it for drinking water."

Psychologically, a well that once housed a demon is unsettling.

Whether to use it, Zhang Feng didn't know.

But it was known that digging a new well was difficult, so he helped out.

The crowd couldn't see the Talisman or understand what Zhang Feng did, but in that moment, they felt the temperature around the well seemed to get a bit 'warmer'?

This warmth was mostly psychological.

Also partly because Zhang Feng drew a few more Talismans, dispersing the Evil Qi on them.

…

In the evening, the villagers were very hospitable.

Zhang Feng stayed for dinner and took the opportunity to study the weasel.

This study was beneficial for topics like Corpse Refining, Yin attributes, Demon Cultivator biological structure, and Beast Taming.

But that night too,

Zhang Feng heard a few children calling him 'Great Immortal'.

Particularly since Zhang Feng hadn't mentioned his name, they nicknamed him 'Great Immortal of Ling Mountain'.

This was the Ling Mountain area.

Similarly, after the children used this title,

Zhang Feng suddenly felt a bit enlightened, and also curious.

Along with previously encountering the Great Immortal of Ling Mountain several times,

Zhang Feng had a relatively deep memory of the related incidents.

So,

A few children calling him 'Great Immortal', and the weasel's rat-like screech brought to mind past events in the 'Burrow World'.

Back then, a fellow traveler who loved telling ghost stories mentioned, 'My grandmother said there was once a Great Immortal who kept a yellow rat, which could don human skin and turn human.'

Moreover, among those children, there were two little girls.

Most likely, one of those little girls would become the grandmother of that traveler.

Considering the timeline and the world from about 80 years ago, there is a time gap of approximately 70 years.

Although things don't match exactly, the time, name, and weasel do.

Because of this, Zhang Feng found it quite interesting, not expecting to tap into a timeline of a 'side event'.

If this world continued, perhaps a group of people would indeed fall into a pit, and someone would tell the story, 'My grandmother said, the Great Immortal of Ling Mountain killed the weasel.'

But thinking of the pit,

now still within the Ling Mountain range.

Since he thought of it, he decided to look for mice.

…

The next morning,

Zhang Feng made a detour toward Ling Mountain.

Lin Dao You and others didn't ask much.

But for the convenience of a larger search party, Zhang Feng told them he was looking for a rat hole in the mountain.

Thus, they split up to search.

…

In ten days, they scoured the entire Ling Mountain.

Good news, there was indeed a rat hole, in the same location, but lacking the mechanisms of the Great Immortal of Ling Mountain, just a simple Qi-harming great rat.

So it was killed.

Once everything was resolved,

Zhang Feng felt a mix of fear and relief.

Because in such a Spiritual Qi World, if the rats had appeared, even emerged,

ignoring it would be wrong.

Dealing with it would be creating unnecessary trouble, wasting time.

Fortunately, the entire nest was dealt with.

This initial tension, followed by relief, even decreased Zhang Feng's Heart Demon Value by about 5%, which was better than nothing.

…

'Many things overlap…'

Continuing toward Yang Mountain,

Zhang Feng, based on this mouse matter, found an interesting assumption.

That is, though this world clearly lacks a Great Immortal of Ling Mountain, there were rats 'created' by a Great Immortal of Ling Mountain.

Could it mean that changes in one world might be 'reflected' in parallel worlds with similar elements?

Of course, in a world this vast, it could just be coincidence.

But precisely because of texts, Zhang Feng felt that texts might be selecting mirrored worlds for him.

Otherwise, how could he encounter identical Guests and evil cultivators.

Thus, Zhang Feng concluded that beyond the real world, other worlds might be parallel.

As for his own world, within the reincarnator's world, it had already been textually anchored.

This resolved a messy concern.

However, alien civilizations might exist as well.

That is consistent with normal scientific logic.

The universe is vast, saying it's only humans on Earth,

Zhang Feng didn't believe it, but lacked enough knowledge to verify it.

…

Contemplating and analyzing Talismans to suppress evil along the way, deepening stability.

Unknowingly,

he reached Yang Mountain.
