Chapter 690: Chapter 532: New World, Confronting the Darkness_2

As the Primordial Spirit relentlessly pursued the Power of the Great Dao to venture into otherworlds, Wang Yang also contemplated the profound mysteries of the portal.

After all, if he could comprehend the principles of this portal, Wang Yang himself might be able to construct one, and then, whenever he wished, his Primordial Spirit could leave his body and go there.

However, the secrets of the portal were not something Wang Yang could fathom in a short period of time. Before he had even begun to grasp its surface, as he opened his eyes again,

he had already emerged from the portal.

"This is yet another new world!"

Just as Wang Yang’s Primordial Spirit had come out of the portal, the portal disappeared without a trace.

Before him, just like in the previous otherworld, an enormous protective barrier enveloped the entire continent, leaving not the slightest gap.

At the same time, Wang Yang wondered how the dark forces managed to enter and erode such protective barriers.

After all, these barriers were controlled by the Heavenly Dao. As long as the Heavenly Dao was aware, wouldn’t it resist if the darkness attempted to tamper with the Power of the Great Dao?

Yet these questions were not something Wang Yang could clarify at the moment. He replicated the process of enveloping the entire protective barrier with his Primordial Spirit.

At the same time, he attempted to replicate all the Powers of the Great Dao on the barrier with the Heart of Pangu for his further contemplation.

Simultaneously, he personally reflected on the Great Dao inscribed upon it, hoping to hasten his entry into this new world.

"No, something has been altered here!"

As Wang Yang continuously copied, his keen Primordial Spirit detected anomalies in the protective barrier.

Although the protective barrier appeared intact and its surface was smooth, Wang Yang could still sense that this seemingly flawless barrier had actually been tampered with.

Or rather, the protective barrier he was looking at had developed flaws.

And the original flaws had once again been covered by the Power of the Great Dao, making the barrier seem undamaged.

"It seems this is how the darkness penetrated it!"

Wang Yang had some speculations in his heart. First, devour a portion of the Power of the Great Dao, then cover it with his own Power of the Great Dao. As long as the actions were subtle enough, even the Heavenly Dao would struggle to detect them.

But although it appeared whole and unharmed, the Power of the Great Dao within had already changed hands.

The most evident aspect was that Wang Yang could comprehend the various elements of the Great Dao in the protective barrier, but when it came to this particular one, he couldn’t grasp it at all.

Thinking of the means of the dark invasion, Wang Yang resolved a doubt in his heart and even felt that the darkness was no longer as mysterious in his eyes.

However, Wang Yang still worked diligently. He couldn’t possibly enter this world through the opening left by the darkness; not to mention that he would be detected by the darkness, the invading darkness would also sense it immediately if he touched this opening.

After all, this was the Great Dao that the darkness had already devoured, no longer linked to this world in the slightest.

Therefore, Wang Yang once again immersed himself in the understanding of the Dao, constantly pondering over the Great Dao of this world, longing to enter it sooner.

To truly see the true face of darkness, and even to consider engaging with it in combat.

With motivation, his actions quickened.

The Primordial Spirit soon enveloped the entire protective barrier of the otherworld, and the Heart of Pangu tirelessly replicated the Great Dao, for Wang Yang to comprehend.

Wang Yang believed that the time of his entry into this otherworld was not far off.

He had encountered a barrier of this world once before; thus, reconnecting with it presented no barriers.

Laying out his entire Primordial Spirit, Wang Yang embarked on a new journey.

Just as Wang Yang envisioned, with the combined efforts of the Heart of Pangu and himself, he quickly grasped the Power of the Great Dao of this otherworld.

And he found another pathway back into the world.

"Let’s see what this world truly holds!"

Finding a breach, Wang Yang took a deep breath and directly sent a strand of his Primordial Spirit desperately squeezing through.

Before long, as that strand of the Primordial Spirit entered the world, Wang Yang realized the energy contained within was pitifully scarce, so much so that even absorbing it proved challenging!

Just as Wang Yang pondered whether to gather all the energy of this world to form a physical body for himself,

that strand of Primordial Spirit suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. By the time his vision cleared, he had become a person with living flesh and blood.

And standing in front of him, always by his side, was an old man of considerable age, clad in a red and black robe, with dozens of warriors in armor guarding around.

As for Wang Yang himself, clad in armor as well, wielding a long spear, he followed behind the elderly man.

Gradually, Wang Yang realized something was amiss this time.

Last time, his Primordial Spirit used the energy of heaven and earth to reconstitute a body; he was simply mistaken for Wang Cai Chen by Xiao Qian.

Indeed, if it weren’t for Wang Yang visiting that temple, he would have hardly had any interaction with Xiao Qian. But this time, Wang Yang’s Primordial Spirit had actually directly taken over this person’s body, which was not a gathering of energy, but already a living, breathing person.

Such a transformation was bound to astonish Wang Yang.

"Li Ziyi! The Prime Minister is right ahead, and you still dare to slack off?"

As Wang Yang’s mind wandered beyond the heavens, still pondering the circumstance of his transmigration to this world, a general with a fierce and intimidating appearance carrying two short halberds on his back, approached Wang Yang and jolted his spirit back to reality.

"General Dian Wei, this lowly one wouldn’t dare!"

Wang Yang was taken aback, and the name of this individual instantly surfaced in his mind, naturally rolling off his tongue.

"You’d better not dare, you lowly General of the Household of the Central Court. Being able to accompany the Prime Minister today is your good fortune!"

Dian Wei nodded in satisfaction, then strode forward to follow.

Watching Dian Wei’s departing figure, Wang Yang, though moving forward, was also integrating the memories in his mind.

This was perhaps the difference between forming a bodily vessel and direct transmigration. Having transmigrated into this person, Wang Yang could also peek into this person’s memories, which made it easier for Wang Yang to acquaint himself with this world.

Now, Wang Yang still went by the name Wang Yang, but the era had changed to that of the Three Kingdoms.

And this body’s name was Li Ziyi, styled Xiu, a General of the Household of the Central Court under Cao Cao.

On ordinary days, he would be in the military camp. Only this time, Cao Cao had temporarily summoned a contingent of troops from the camp to accompany him to Ye City.

And Wang Yang’s contingent happened to be the lucky ones.

The reason Dian Wei had come forward to remind Wang Yang was that the original owner of this body came from the same place as Dian Wei, sharing some hometown ties.

However, Wang Yang’s current status was somewhat awkward. The position of a General of the Household of the Central Court might seem considerable, but Wang Yang knew that in the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention a general leading over five hundred men, even a Great General charging into battle could easily meet his end.

In war, what’s never lacking are the dead.

Moreover, Wang Yang discovered that his Cultivation Level was now considerably lower than in the previous world.

He didn’t even have the strength of a Heavenly Immortal, barely able to exhibit the power of an Earth Immortal.

Still, Wang Yang found it absurd. He hadn’t anticipated that the channels connected by the Pangu Clan would lead to ancestral stars so devoid of Spiritual Energy.

The previous Strange Tales world was one thing, where at least there were those who practiced Cultivation and Demons and Ghosts.

But in the Three Kingdoms, apart from the somewhat stronger warriors, the rest were practically useless.

It struck Wang Yang that he was now just a General of the Household of the Central Court, also a warrior!

"Could it be that the darkness lies within the Three Kingdoms? But after they arrived, what form did they take?"

"Are they reborn Primordial Spirits like me, or formed anew from a gathered body?"

Wang Yang pondered continuously in his mind. If it was also a rebirth of the Primordial Spirit, he might not be so worried, for the starting point would be the same for everyone.

But if they formed new bodies, that might explain why the heavenly and earthly Energy was now so scarce.

By contrast, the opponent’s strength must have recovered a great deal, and was surely not to be underestimated.

"Report, Prime Minister, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has reached Ye City, and Lord Cao Ang, leading one hundred thousand troops, is waiting outside Ye City!"

The messenger ran and spoke swiftly.

Although Wang Yang was quite far from their position, what is there that an Earth Immortal Cultivation Level Wang Yang couldn’t hear?

"Cao Ang is still alive? The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have appeared? And they’re all heading to Ye City?"

A series of questions surfaced in Wang Yang’s mind. After considering them one by one, Wang Yang understood what was happening at this time.

Yuanshu proclaimed himself emperor, and Cao Cao led a large army to exterminate him. In the end, they captured Yuanshu, acquired the He Shi Jade, and from Xuchang, Cao Cao manipulated the emperor to command the lords!

However, Wang Yang was aware that although this battle seemed swift, in reality, Jiangdong had taken the advantage, seizing a large portion of Jingzhun’s land, laying a solid foundation for Jiangdong’s claim to a third of the empire.

"Who exactly should I help? Should I assist Cao Cao in unifying the empire, or help Sun Quan command Jiangdong? Or perhaps, should I gather a band of troops and carve out my own path?"
