Chapter 619: Chapter 618: Otherworld Record

"You two go first."

Upon hearing Swordsman Beitian’s words, Chen An immediately fled the scene with Chen Yu.

As they ran, Chen Yu asked, "Senior Brother, isn’t this wrong? To just leave Martial Uncle behind like this?"

Chen An snapped, "Think about our cultivation level! We’re just holding him back. That person is incredibly strong. If we stay, we’ll only be a burden to Martial Uncle."

He was right. They were just holding him back.

After just a single exchange, Swordsman Beitian had discovered that his opponent’s cultivation wasn’t suppressed. It far surpassed Tier Four.

Facing such a powerful foe, Swordsman Beitian knew he had no chance of victory.

That was why he had no choice but to make those two disciples leave.

"Hehehe, the North Celestial Seventh One Sword. Not bad."

Jiang Zuo passed through the forest and arrived at a stone hall. It wasn’t a core area, just an ordinary place for Artifact Refining.

And the information he was looking for was here.

Just then, Jiang Zuo felt his phone vibrating nonstop.

With no other choice, he had to take it out and look.

He saw that Chi Xue Child was tagging him.

Po Xiao: What do you want?

Seeing Po Xiao’s reply, Chi Xue Child was so moved he almost cried. They were having a miserable time being chased.

Chi Xue Child: Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, we ran into some flowers, grass, and trees, and we accidentally got chased by them. I was wondering if you could tell us what they are?

He also attached a picture—a photo of the trees, grass, and flowers.

Liuyue Xue: You’re actually being chased by plants?

Liu Yiyi: Yeah, and you’re Cultivators, for goodness’ sake.

Chu Qing: Plants vs. Cultivators?

Xiao Xiaomo: Chu Qing, aren’t you supposed to be in class? I’m telling your mom.

Chu Qing: I’m sorry, Sister Xiao! It’s my break time.

Chi Xue Child: Easy for you to say. You don’t understand these plants. Even Blade Master Hai Bian can’t hold them off.

Jiang Zuo was curious. ’To think there’s a plant like this.’ A single glance told him it was sentient.

Theoretically, they should be nothing more than weeds, but these few have already become sentient.

’And... they’re a bit special.’

While any of the flora here might attack people, they usually act on instinct. For them to actively hunt someone down like this, they would have to be sentient.

But being sentient was one thing; these plants were something else entirely.

However, Jiang Zuo didn’t plan on telling them much.

’Knowing too much could affect their attitude.’

Then, Jiang Zuo began to type his reply.

Po Xiao: They’re just ordinary plants that have become sentient. Figure it out yourselves.

With that said, Jiang Zuo had no more time for them. After all, he was very close to what he was looking for.

That was what mattered.

Chi Xue Child looked at Blade Master Hai Bian. "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao says these plants are sentient."

Black-robed Demon Cultivator: That’s it?

Chi Xue Child nodded. "Yeah. If they’re sentient, doesn’t that mean we can try to talk to them?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "That makes sense, but how would we talk to them?"

Chi Xue Child said, "Try diplomacy before force? My popsicle is pretty good. I wonder if they’d like it."

As he spoke, Chi Xue Child began to munch on his popsicle.

Black-robed Demon Cultivator: ...

Blade Master Hai Bian: ...

Then, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator said to the plants, "Let’s make a deal. I’ll leave these two for you. In return, you stop chasing me. How about it?"

Blade Master Hai Bian and Chi Xue Child exchanged a look. As expected of a Demon Cultivator.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the two of them shoved the Black-robed Demon Cultivator toward the plants as they fled.

Black-robed Demon Cultivator: ... You despicable, shameless bastards.

Chi Xue Child retorted, "Who’s the despicable one here?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "If I were Demon Cultivator Mo Yan just now, would you have pushed me out?"

Blade Master Hai Bian replied, "Of course not. Because Mo Yan is weak."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator was stunned speechless. ’I was just trying to act like Mo Yan.’

’Logically, Mo Yan was always so reckless and never died, so I figured I’d be fine if I acted that way for a bit. After all, I was just trying to conduct a legitimate transaction, and these Daoist Cultivators looked so gullible.’

’If the plants had actually agreed, I would have sold the two of them out for real.’

’If they hadn’t, I would have just pretended it was a joke.’

’Who would have thought they’d be the ones to sell *me* out?’

Now he understood his miscalculation.

’It was true that both I and Mo Yan are Demon Cultivators, but Mo Yan is weak. That was the fatal difference.’

’Even if Mo Yan wanted to sell them out, he wasn’t strong enough to.’

’What a miscalculation.’

Jiang Zuo had already arrived in the main hall. He didn’t go anywhere else, nor did he look at any of the Magical Treasures.

’When these Magical Treasures emerge, I’ll collect them then. Taking them now would be a waste of time.’

He couldn’t wait. He wanted to see if there was any information here about the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Opening the door to the archive room, Jiang Zuo walked inside.

The archive room was neither large nor small, and its walls were lined with bookshelves.

Moreover, they were all books made of special materials, or else they were parchment scrolls.

Walking over to some of the records, Jiang Zuo flipped through them and found that the writing wasn’t from the Human Race.

In other words, it was neither an ancient script nor a modern one.

These records came from another world.

Jiang Zuo read the title aloud as he looked at the book. "Human Race Cultivation System."

’It was no surprise that I can understand it.’

’With my power back then, traveling to other worlds was nothing remarkable.’

’But in my previous life, this had happened much, much later. Probably an era or two after I recovered from my bout of madness.’

Jiang Zuo put the book down and resumed his search.

He found many records about other worlds, as well as many about Cultivation.

Artifact Refining, Alchemy, growing Spirit Medicine—it was all there.

But there was nothing at all about Cultivation Techniques.

Very well. Jiang Zuo had no choice but to take out his coin. It would be difficult to pinpoint the exact book, as he had never seen it before.

So, he could only search for a general direction.

’I can’t afford for the divination to fail today. I have a feeling something is about to happen outside.’

Jiang Zuo tossed the coin. It fell to the ground, spun in place for a long time, and then began to roll.

Jiang Zuo watched the coin as it rolled under a bookshelf.

Finally, it came to a stop in front of the bookshelf.

After retrieving his coin, Jiang Zuo began to feel around underneath the bookshelf. Then, he found a book.

When Jiang Zuo pulled the book out, he was taken aback—not because it looked somewhat like one of the Magic Books,

but because the words on the cover surprised him.

The title consisted of only two words, yet those two words were written using four different languages from two different worlds.

’Who else could possibly understand this?’

"Otherworld Record?"

Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but open the book.

He then discovered that the languages used inside were a chaotic mix. At times, the sentences weren’t even coherent, as if the author’s mind had been unstable.

Still, he could make out the general meaning.

It began with the author’s introduction. There were heavens beyond the heavens, and more than one world. He had been fortunate enough to travel to another one.

Due to some accident, his consciousness had awakened in the body of a Warrior in the Otherworld.

Because he inherited the Warrior’s memories, no one discovered that he was, in fact, an outsider.

In that world, he discovered that it was possible to practice Cultivation, and that one’s lifespan could be extended.

Perhaps because he was special in some way, his Cultivation speed was exceptionally fast, to the point that he even qualified to approach the Sacred Land.
