Chapter 4: Yaobi Dami Tian (Part 2)

“Porn star? Damn, that name is too awesome!”
Ma Face asked in confusion, “What’s so awesome about that name?”
Guo Shier didn’t answer with a smile—he found it hard to explain. Instead, he asked, “Where is this place?”
Nan You replied, “This is Fuxin… Are you mocking me?”
Guo Shier shook his head. “I’m not talking about Fuxin. I mean the outside… What place is this? What’s its name?”
Nan You was about to go crazy. He said, “I… um… Damn! You guys don’t even know where you are? I… I really admire you, truly!”
Guo Shier’s face turned slightly red. Who knew what kind of place this was? Even the handsome old man didn’t know, so how could he? He said, “Just tell me. There’s nothing strange about not knowing. We just got lost here, haha.”
Nan You knew that if he wanted to stay alive, he couldn’t anger the other party. He said, “This is Yaobi Dami Tian…”
Guo Shier didn’t understand. He muttered, “Yaobi Dami Tian? What the hell is that?”
The handsome old man exclaimed, “Yaobi Dami Tian! Damn… It’s actually Yaobi Dami Tian! You… kid, you’re in luck!”
Nan You said, “That’s right. It’s Yaobi Dami Tian, one of the most mysterious places in the Spell World.”
Guo Shier smiled bitterly. “I really haven’t heard of Yaobi Dami Tian. Is it some secret realm?” Although he was a disciple of the Gu Mi Luo family, he didn’t want to stay there, so he didn’t know much about many things.
Nan You said, “Can you let me go? It’s too uncomfortable like this.”
Guo Shier refused outright, “No way! Seriously, if he escapes and releases the altar—even if it’s just a virtual one—it will be almost impossible to catch him again. After all, I haven’t reached the level of a virtual altar yet. With only the handsome old man’s support, I still feel pressured.”
Nan You also knew his request was too much, so he said, “Then at least put me on the platform. Hanging like this… it’s too uncomfortable.” Unable to use his soul power, he appeared very weak.
Guo Shier laughed. “That’s doable.”
Nan You landed on the platform. Bound by the soul-locking chain, he could only sit down heavily. He said, “Sigh, I’m so unlucky… Are you… an expert in altars? Why it seems to me… you’re just a high-level Grand Sage… What the hell!”
Guo Shier replied with a smile, “Who said I’m not an expert in altars?”
Nan You retorted defiantly, “If you’re an expert in altars… I’ll serve you for the rest of my life!”

Eagle Demon asked with a laugh, “Serve? Do you mean be a slave?”
Nan You flew into a rage and said, “You’re the one who should be a slave! I…” Before he could finish, Eagle Demon rushed at him with a punch, followed by a brutal beating that nearly turned Nan You’s horse-like face into a pig’s head.
Eagle Demon sneered, “What do you think you are?”
Nan You’s situation turned tragic. He then realized he was no longer the mighty altar expert but rather the captive of the other party. This beating was entirely self-inflicted.
Guo Shier couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Uncle Eagle Demon, isn’t it satisfying?”
Eagle Demon smiled and said, “Great!” Of course it was satisfying—beating an expert of the Illusory Altar brought immense satisfaction, even though the opponent was tied up.
The poor Nan You tried to act tough but was completely subdued.
Guo Shier said, “Nan You, since you don’t believe it, just watch for yourself.” Gu Mu Lian suddenly appeared beneath him, along with the handsome old man, who smiled as he looked at Nan You, now reduced to a pig’s face.
Nan You gasped in shock and said, “I… I…” There were not only altars but also sacrificial spirits. After all, not many altar experts possessed sacrificial spirits, and those of the Illusory Altar could never tame one. After a while, he said, “You won!”
“I won?”
Guo Shier laughed. He didn’t care about winning or losing. Either way, Nan You posed no threat anymore. He said, “It doesn’t matter if I won or not…”
Nan You said, “Well, I’ll follow you from today onward.”
Guo Shier was stunned. An expert of the Illusory Altar wanting to follow him seemed a bit exaggerated. He said, “I…” Before he could continue, Nan You hurriedly added, “Don’t refuse right away. I mean it!” As soon as these words came out, Guo Shier almost fell over, choking so badly he rolled his eyes.
Eagle Demon and Luo Zhan couldn’t help but laugh. It sounded like a confession, but Nan You had a hideous horse-like face. Suddenly saying “I mean it” would be unbearable for anyone.
The handsome old man said, “Whether it’s sincere or not, hehe, with me around, what trouble can he cause? Kid, take him!”
Guo Shier suddenly remembered something and asked, “Which Gu Nan family are you from? Strange, among the four ancient families, there’s no such thing as a Gu Nan family.”
Nan You was puzzled and asked, “What four ancient families?”
Guo Shier said, “You don’t know? They are the Gu Xilong family, the Gu Dai family, the Gu Zhenren family, and the Gu Miluo family—the four ancient families.”

Nan You said, “I’ve never heard of these four ancient clans. Uh, did you come to Baqi Da Mi Tian from another continent?”
“Another continent?”
Guo Shier didn’t understand. This world really gave him a headache—there were countless hidden continents scattered haphazardly, far less organized than the world in his past life, where there was just one planet without all these messy continents and hidden places.
Nan You said, “There are various ways to enter Baqi Da Mi Tian. It’s not strange if it’s not professionals from your continent.”
Guo Shier said, “Uh, so… are there countless professionals in Baqi Da Mi Tian?”
Nan You replied, “No. At least those who can enter are Great Sage Masters. But very few of them can leave alive, unless they have the protection of altar experts.” He glanced at Eagle Demon and Luo Zhan and added, “Those suitable to enter… are preferably professionals above the Virtual Form Altar level.”
Guo Shier sighed. He knew he was facing another predicament, with the road home even further away. He asked, “What’s there in Baqi Da Mi Tian that’s worth so many professionals coming there?”
Nan You showed a look of disdain, which was unfortunately seen by Eagle Demon. Without hesitation, he rushed forward, raising his hand to strike. Frightened, Nan You shouted, “We’re family! We’re family!”
Eagle Demon stopped raising his hand. This guy was still tied with a Soul Binding Chain yet claimed they were family—he’d never seen such a person before. Moreover, his timid and fearful demeanor made it impossible for Eagle Demon to act, so he could only say, “Be more respectful!”
Nan You was beyond tears. A master at the Virtual Form Altar level being bullied by a Great Sage Master was simply unjust. He didn’t know whether to cry or laugh—this world was truly crazy.
Handsome Old Man said, “I know about Baqi Da Mi Tian, but I’ve never been there. I also don’t know what it looks like. I have been to Liu Qi Xiao Mi Tian, which is completely different from here.”
Nan You, being well-informed, said, “Liu Qi Xiao Mi Tian? I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard others say it’s a great place where one can obtain many rare materials. It’s said to be easy to enter but hard to leave—without any skills, it’s almost impossible to get out.”
Handsome Old Man said, “Indeed. You know about Liu Qi Xiao Mi Tian too? Hmm, are you really determined to follow him?”
Nan You narrowed his small green eyes and said, “I keep my word!”
Handsome Old Man didn’t say much more. With a wave of his hand, the Soul Binding Chain flew into his hand and disappeared.

Nan You reached out and rubbed his face, watching as the bruising around his eyes dissipated quickly. With a wry smile, he said, “Sigh, I’ve grown up this big… and this is the first time someone’s hit me like this! What an embarrassment…”
Guo Shieru secretly admired the guy’s ability to bend and stretch. He said, “You don’t get to know people unless you fight, right? I’m Guo Shieru. This is Uncle Eagle Demon and Uncle Luo Zhan—both of them are my followers.”
Nan You said, “Never mind. This beating was for nothing… but…” He turned to Eagle Demon and said, “Eagle Demon, right? If you dare lay a hand on me again, don’t blame me for not being gentle!”
Eagle Demon was stubborn. With a cold smirk, he said, “So what? If you’re not obedient… you’ll still get beaten!”
Nan You wasn’t angry either. He said, “Hey! Then let’s see!”
Guo Shieru interrupted, “Alright, we’re ready to leave. Everyone, come on up.” Eagle Demon and Luo Zhan flew onto the Ancient Ink Lotus without hesitation. Nan You hesitated for a moment before following them. After all, once someone stepped onto someone else’s altar, they had to be prepared to become a sacrifice.
The handsome old man nodded in satisfaction. If Nan You had refused to climb onto the Ancient Ink Lotus, they would have abandoned him without hesitation. Since he had climbed on, it proved he truly intended to become Guo Shieru’s follower. Of course, this might be temporary—once they left Baqi Dami Tian, he might sneak away—but here, he wouldn’t think of leaving.
Guo Shieru activated the character. In an instant, a golden symbol flew out from his soul and appeared in front of the Ancient Ink Lotus, instantly turning into a golden vortex. Nan You shouted, “Charge in!”
Guo Shieru immediately steered the Ancient Ink Lotus into the golden vortex.
In the blink of an eye, the Ancient Ink Lotus raised its defenses, and immense pressure came from all directions. Fortunately, it only lasted a few breaths before the Ancient Ink Lotus broke through. The handsome old man thought to himself, “So close… so close. If they hadn’t been able to defend in time, everyone on the Ancient Ink Lotus would have been doomed.”
Guo Shieru’s eyes lit up as he saw the center—the symbol heart that Nan You had mentioned. Back in the circular space, he felt a little more relaxed. This time had been extremely dangerous. If it weren’t for Nan You joining them, it would have taken them much more time and effort to get out.
Finally, they made it out. Eagle Demon sighed and said, “That was fucking dangerous.”
Luo Zhan said, “If I hadn’t followed Shieru, I doubt I’d ever have come to a place like this in my life.”

Nanyou said, “This place is truly rare. In the Eight Paths Vast Heaven, the speed of cultivation is much faster than outside.” He didn’t rush to fly down from the Ancient Ink Lotus and remained seated on it, saying, “Guo Shier, it’s best not to put away your altar. There are countless dangers here, and without the altar’s protection, it’s easy to die.”
Guo Shier nodded and asked, “Aren’t you coming down?”
Nanyou replied, “There’s no need to test me. Since I’ve decided to follow you, I won’t go down.”
Guo Shier asked, “Nanyou, which way is more suitable to go?”
Nanyou also began to realize that this guy knew nothing about the Eight Paths Vast Heaven. It was unbelievable how he could break into the Symbol Heart and even collect natural runes. He said, “In the Eight Paths Vast Heaven, basically… you can go wherever you want. But there are quite a lot of people who like to rob here…”
Guo Shier was speechless. It seemed this guy actually wanted to rob, but ended up being subdued by him—no, by that handsome old man.
Nanyou added, “There are many such node Symbol Hearts. Usually, one appears at the bottom of each passage.”
Guo Shier’s eyes lit up. The Symbol Heart gave birth to natural runes—how many could be obtained? He said happily, “With so many node Symbol Hearts, we should be able to find many natural runes, right?”
Nanyou smiled bitterly. “There’s no such good luck…”
