Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1160 - 510: Two Bodies Become One, Mastering Time

Chapter 1160: Chapter 510: Two Bodies Become One, Mastering Time

The angry roar of the Creation Taoist only made the Nine Luminaries Heaven quieter.

But on the other side, the Modern World underwent a dramatic change because of Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa entered the Modern World through the passage under the prayer mat, and the first thing he felt was a split—right before his eyes were two completely different scenes.

On one side was a vast sky, white clouds emerging from the mountains.

On the other was the pavilions and Water Pavilion of a nursing home.

Zheng Fa lifted his eyes, looking toward Rainbow Mountain, knowing this was his first "real" entry into the Modern World.

This world has another me!

He felt a stirring in his Sea of Consciousness, like something was churning inside. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Zheng Fa let go of his Sea of Consciousness.

A Yin Yang Jade Pendant flew out, floating before Zheng Fa.

In the distance, a figure seemed to be drawn by the jade pendant, dressed in modern attire, but looking exactly like Zheng Fa.

Behind this figure were a few familiar faces.

Tang Lingwu and Old Man Bai followed the "Zheng Fa" as they flew over, surprised to see another "Zheng Fa," they were dumbfounded and stopped in mid-air, looking left and right.

The modern Zheng Fa suddenly opened his eyes.

The two Zheng Fa’s, separated by the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, looked at each other.

The Yin Yang Fish on the jade pendant came alive, chasing each other, and eventually merged into one, you in me, and I in you.

At the moment the two fishes merged, the body of the modern Zheng Fa suddenly became illusory, and with a gust of wind, turned into blue fragments, falling onto Zheng Fa.

Even the bystanders like Tang Lingwu understood— the two Zheng Fa’s had become one.

The Yin Yang Jade Pendant flew back into Zheng Fa’s palm, seemingly changed, but before Zheng Fa could explore, a cautious voice sounded in his ear: "Zheng Fa?"

Zheng Fa turned his head to see Old Man Bai with Tang Lingwu and others looking at him, their gazes filled with anxiety.

Zheng Fa understood what they were worried about.

"It’s me." He paused, then repeated, "It’s still me."

Old Man Bai seemed to release the burden from his heart and let out a long sigh.

Tang Lingwu could not hold back her questions: "What about that grandpa? What happened? He didn’t trouble you, did he?"

"You’re worried he troubled me?"

"I saw you were both respectful and afraid..."

Recalling Tang Lingwu’s previous behavior in front of the Hong Jun Taoist, Zheng Fa asked again: "Knowing I’m scared, why didn’t you stay away?"

Tang Lingwu widened her eyes, as if she heard something incomprehensible: "Leave you alone? How is that possible?"

This candid declaration left Zheng Fa opening and closing his mouth, feeling a warmth yet helplessness swell in his heart.

"Wait, I still don’t understand." Old Man Bai said anxiously, scratching his head, "What exactly happened? What grandpa?"

Old Man Bai had been absent when the Hong Jun Taoist arrived earlier.

And Zheng Fa hadn’t wanted to bring the troubles of the Xuanwei Realm to the Modern World— partly because it was of no use, and partly not wanting to concern people like Tang Lingwu.

But things had changed now.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Fa said, "Let’s return to the nursing home first; there are some things I need to tell you."

Seeing his serious expression, Old Man Bai and the others realized something was wrong and asked no further questions, following Zheng Fa back to the nursing home.

...

"The Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor?" Old Man Bai exclaimed, "Did I miss the Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor?"

"What do you mean a Golden Immortal is blocking the door?"

"Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

The information Zheng Fa conveyed was overwhelming; Old Man Bai and the others looked as if their minds had been blown, utterly confused.

After a long while, Old Man Bai concluded:

"So you’re saying there’s now a passage between our world and your original world? And you entered this world to escape the Creation Taoist?"

Zheng Fa nodded gently.

He was fully aware he couldn’t possibly defeat the Creation Taoist. After obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi and discovering the passage between the two worlds, he had this plan.

"Will the Creation Taoist come in?"

Old Man Bai asked nervously.

"With the Hongmeng Purple Qi concealing it, he can’t find the passage," Zheng Fa explained, frowning again, "But I can’t get out either."

This was the biggest problem now.

His real body had entered the Modern World; though he escaped mortal danger, he was also trapped in the Modern World.

He was indeed safe.

But the Jiushan Sect was now missing a top-tier combat force.

Moreover, Zheng Fa regretted that the Modern World likely couldn’t remain hidden.

After all, the passage did exist; with any flaw, problems would eventually arise.

Yet Old Man Bai rubbed his chin, as if pondering something.

"Mr. Bai?"

"I’m thinking, doesn’t this mean we could also go over there?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lingwu and the others’ eyes brightened, looking at Zheng Fa with anticipation.

There wasn’t a trace of worry about their exposure in their eyes.

Zheng Fa was stunned: "You... aren’t afraid..."

"Afraid of what?" Old Man Bai seemed to know what he was about to ask and interrupted, "We didn’t know what you were doing outside before, but now we do."

"The situation in the Xuanwei Realm is quite perilous."

Old Man Bai looked at Zheng Fa seriously: "You could say you’re dancing on a knife’s edge every day, while we are..."

Zheng Fa remained silent.

In his heart, he had always wanted people in the Modern World to stay away from the turmoil of the Xuanwei Realm, but Old Man Bai didn’t seem to agree.

"Although our strength is low," Old Man Bai said gravely, "as Little Ling Wu said, we can’t leave you alone, especially if it truly comes to a critical point, the nest might overturn, leaving no eggs intact."

"..."

Zheng Fa’s gaze moved from Old Man Bai’s face to Tang Lingwu, who was nodding to him, showing an unprecedented stubbornness on her face.
