Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 35: Reordering Yin and Yang 1


In this world, both humans and demons can die twice.

The first death is naturally of the physical body, which upon dying, turns into a ghost. But if one dies a second time at this stage, it means the soul is completely annihilated. This is why the Nine-tailed Fox is obsessed with reshaping her body. For a great demon like her, as long as her body remains, it means she has an extra life. While other people become confused and muddled ghosts, she can still maintain her clear mind.

If these deceased Yin Yang Masters are not accepted by the Netherworld, they can only all be sent into reincarnation.

"Su Daren!"

"This way, please!" Quite a bit of the Imperial Palace in the Ghost Capital had been restored. The masked ghost woman led him all the way to the main hall.

As Su Ziyu approached the main hall, he saw the Blue Lantern Yokai coming out from inside. Upon seeing this great demon again, he showed no pleasant demeanor and only coldly responded to her sweet and gentle greeting.

"Is Su Daren still upset with me?" The Blue Lantern Yokai took a small step forward, gracefully curtsying, looking pitiable, and said, "I am just a weak woman; I only wanted to collect some ghosts through Su Daren."

You? A weak woman? Hmph!

Su Ziyu directly rolled his eyes at her and turned to enter the main hall.

If the Blue Lantern Yokai had told him directly, he wouldn't have been so angry. He might even have helped her out of convenience. But the Blue Lantern Yokai just didn't say anything until the end, when Su Ziyu realized that she just wanted him to be a tool for her Hundred Tales.

Not even bothering to speak to him anymore.

He seemed really angry.

The Blue Lantern Yokai watched Su Ziyu's back with some frustration, thought for a moment, and then turned to fly towards her own residence.

Inside the main hall.

Su Ziyu looked up and saw Yama sitting on the throne. She looked slightly weary, holding a Book of Life and Death in her hand, sketching something.

"You came." Yama put down the brush, rubbed her smooth forehead, and said, "Thank you for your assistance this time."

"It's nothing." Su Ziyu nodded slightly and said, "Just a modest effort."

After killing Orochi, Su Ziyu gained another point of Divinity Value. Although he hadn't used it yet, his confidence had increased, even facing the Fusang Yama wasn't as daunting.

"Fusang may be an overseas land, but it is not a barbaric nation." Yama stood up gently, looked at Su Ziyu, and said, "Gratefulness should be repaid."

After speaking,

Yama furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Initially, I wanted to add three hundred years of lifespan to you using the Book of Life and Death, but I didn't expect your name not to be in it."

Saying this, Yama glanced meaningfully at Su Ziyu, then said, "However, I have three treasures in my possession. You can choose one among them."

Yama gently waved her hand behind her.

Soon,

three maids carrying wooden boxes came to Su Ziyu. Yama rose and placed the Book of Life and Death aside, a faint fragrance accompanying her movements. She reached to open the first box. Inside was an ancient bronze mirror. She picked it up and said to Su Ziyu, "This item is called the Yin Yang Mirror, capable of discerning demons and ghosts. The yin side reflects ghosts, while the yang side subdues demons. It aids in spiritual cultivation and is a treasured item of the Netherworld."

—"Yin Yang Mirror [Legendary]!"

"Effect: A treasure of the Fusang Netherworld, divided into yin and yang sides. The mirror can reveal the true form of most demons, having a deterrent effect on low-tier ghost spirits and demonic creatures. Attributes: Yin and Yang, Soul Capturing, Demon Suppression, Exorcism, Bright Mirror Stilled Water."

Good stuff.

But unfortunately, it was useless to Su Ziyu, as his Spiritual Vision ability could already uncover the true forms of most ghosts and demons. To exorcise demons, he would merely summon a lightning strike, not needing a mirror at all.

Seeing that Su Ziyu wasn't interested, Yama moved to the second ghost-faced maid, opened the second box, and said, "This item is called Ame-no-Murakumo, a legendary sword found inside Orochi. It is unbreakable and is one of the top-grade weapons in this world."

—"Ame-no-Murakumo [Legendary]!"

"Effect: A legendary sword discovered inside Orochi, possessing part of the great serpent's power. Attributes: Deterrence, Unbreakable, Power of the Great Serpent."

Hmm?

Why is it this sword?

Su Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised at this, and then looked at Yama with a bit of hesitation.

This is one of the Three Sacred Treasures in Fusang legend.

Wait!

Yama seems to have used a magical artifact resembling Hook Jade to deal with Orochi that day. Now in front of him were the Yin Yang Mirror and Ame-no-Murakumo. This made it hard for Su Ziyu not to think of special connections. Su Ziyu couldn't help but scrutinize Yama. She appeared to be around twenty years old, beautiful yet dignified. When she spoke of Fusang, it seemed like she was talking about her own land, and her demeanor was naturally composed.

Queen Himiko?

As Su Ziyu pondered this, there was a sound of footsteps from outside. A lovely little girl dressed in ornate clothes came in. Seeing Su Ziyu, she paused slightly, then softly said, "Elder Sister, do we have a guest?"

"Then I'll take my leave now."

It's her.

Other people seemed to refer to her as Princess Tsukihime.
