My Arms Can Turn into Blades

"..."

Chen Lusi silently accepted the disposable cup handed to her.

Zhuoli poured the liquid ’Forget Sorrow’ into the disposable cups one by one, then handed them to the others.

Soon enough.

Everyone had received a disposable cup.

"Now, just hold it gently in front of your nose and sniff."

Zhuoli once again cradled the ’Forget Sorrow’ in his palm: "And then no matter what you see next, don’t feel it’s strange. In fact, I don’t even know what we will see because I’ve been to the Yellow Springs three times, and each time the scenery was different. The only common point is probably the black fog.

So when you see the black fog, just remember that you’re in the Yellow Springs. We have marked the direction where the Goryeo Branch is located, so we will proceed in that direction. No problem, right? If there are no problems, then let’s set off."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi slightly raised her cup.

But suddenly, she thought of something, paused, turned around, and pulled Lin Ying, before nodding.

Zhuoli saw Chen Lusi nod and immediately raised the right hand holding ’Forget Sorrow’.

And very soon, Chen Lusi witnessed with her own eyes the thick purple liquid on the disposable cup... starting to spin.

Then.

More mist rose, inhaled by them.

Ding dong—

Suddenly, a sound similar to the swing of an old-fashioned clock, like something was stuck, rang out.

Everyone’s vision went black.

A feeling of weightlessness instantly struck.

Following that.

Chen Lusi noticed that the Celestial Strategy Mansion headquarters building she was in suddenly flipped over.

Just like a flipped scene.

Chen Lusi found her body instantly tipping to the side, her body passing through the floor, standing on the ceiling of the next level.

But the expected feeling of falling didn’t occur.

He was unusually standing on the ceiling, as if at this moment the ceiling was the floor.

At this moment.

Others also responded.

Zhou Jian looked at the familiar modern décor, incredulously saying, "This is a failure..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Weightlessness hit, and they all fell directly from the ceiling.

Chen Lusi suddenly accelerated, landed first, and reached out to catch Lin Ying.

While Shanli and Zhuoli were prepared, there was no problem.

The only one a bit embarrassed was probably Zhou Jian.

After all, he was the weakest among them.

Lin Ying, although not outstanding physically, had strong control authority.

And she also had someone to catch her.

However, although a bit embarrassed, Zhou Jian wasn’t actually hurt.

Chen Lusi supported Lin Ying, letting her stand up again. After confirming she was fine, she looked around and found that there was, in fact, nothing unusual, just an ordinary break room, and couldn’t help but look at Zhuoli.

But just as he looked at Zhuoli, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a wisp of fog leaking out from outside the door.

"This is not a failure."

Zhuoli also saw the fog and let out a sigh of relief: "We have already arrived at Yellow Springs."

"Huh!?"

Zhou Jian incredulously looked around: "This is Yellow Springs? Isn’t this the Celestial Strategy Mansion headquarters?"

"We are not going to the deeper layers nor the source; I wouldn’t dare do that."

Zhuoli shook his head: "We are in the Shallow Yellow Springs. I just said, it’s different every time we come in. It’s not surprising to see a modern city, this is all normal.

Because according to Kunlun’s side and our own research, the form of Yellow Springs is not static, especially the shallow layer. Because as time goes by, the countless souls entering the Yellow Springs change, their demands change, their understanding changes.

We have been in modern society for quite some time now, and it’s not surprising that the Shallow Yellow Springs has scenes of modern cities because this is the first stop for souls entering the Yellow Springs Mainstream."

"...but this is too much like the normal world."

Zhou Jian frowned, still disbelieving: "It’s really hard to accept."

"I was the same at first, but soon you will accept it. Let’s go."

Zhuoli wasn’t surprised by this, immediately beckoning them to head out: "Hopefully, it’s a completely normal modern city; it would be easier to find the Goryeo Branch if so."

He said as he opened the door and stepped out.

But as soon as he pushed the door open, he froze, then turned his back to everyone with a wry smile: "Wanting to see a completely normal modern city in Yellow Springs, as expected, is wishful thinking."

Everyone heard his words and looked over.

Then, collectively gasped.

Because after the door was opened, instead of a familiar corridor... it was a hundred meters high.

And the howling wind poured into the room as soon as the door was opened, making their faces sting.

And looking into the distance.

Though it was the cityscape they were familiar with.

But every skyscraper, was mismatched, interwoven... as if a glitch in a game texture.

Some were upside down, some merged with other buildings, one could even see bizarre scenes of architecture from different eras intertwined.

Furthermore, the entire city was shrouded in black fog.

And above the city, instead of the normal sky, was a fog so thick it could be described as viscous.

The black fog was constantly rolling.

Blotting out the sky and the sun.

This only made the already bizarre city seem gloomier.

Compared to the room they were currently in, still lit, it was like night and day.

But these were not enough to make everyone gasp.

Even though it was indeed shocking.

But Zhuoli’s previous words had prepared them, they knew they were in Yellow Springs.

What truly shocked them was the center of the city.

There.

An ancient giant sword, plunged down, straddling the very heart of the city.

Even from such a far distance, they could clearly feel the immense oppressive force of that absurdly large giant sword.

This was truly outrageous.

Standing so high, so far... they couldn’t even see the full picture of the giant sword.

At the moment, they could only see the blade, while the sword guard and hilt were hidden in the black fog churning in the sky.

At a glance.

One might even think... this sword was plunged from the Human World into Yellow Springs.

The modern city paired with such a fantastic scene.

Who wouldn’t gasp?

Zhou Jian was the first to speak, murmuring, "What on earth is this...?"

"To be honest."

Zhuoli shook his head: "I don’t know either, this is the first time I’ve seen such a scene. The only thing I’m sure of is that nothing in Yellow Springs is surprising... but truth be told, this is quite awe-inspiring."

"Indeed..."

Shanli instinctively responded, then softly said: "It’s like someone holding a giant sword... has pierced through the entire Yellow Springs from the Human World."

"Indeed... but that’s impossible, no one can do that."

Zhuoli first nodded, then shook his head: "And our Yellow Springs is still intact, it doesn’t look like it’s been damaged at all. This is probably the imagination of a specific spirit manifesting in the shallow layer.

After all, this entire city ultimately comes from the souls entering Yellow Springs. The reason it is so bizarre is probably because everyone’s impression of a city is different.

And among them, if one or two special souls think there’s a giant sword in the city’s center, causing the shallow Yellow Springs scene to be affected, it wouldn’t be surprising, after all, there are all kinds of people."

"Is it really like this?"

Lin Ying slightly narrowed her peach blossom eyes, staring into the distance.

She always felt that the explanation was a bit far-fetched.

"That’s the only explanation, and we’re not here for this giant sword."

Zhuoli hesitated for a moment, shook his head: "Maybe next time we come, there won’t even be a city, let alone a giant sword. The Shallow Yellow Springs changes quickly, which won’t cause us any impact... Chen Tiance, should we go? While we can still recognize the layout of the city, we don’t need to bother finding the mark, we can directly head towards Goryeo."

With that.

He looked at Chen Lusi.

"..."

Chen Lusi glanced at the distant giant sword, then looked down at the Tai’e in her hand that was vibrating wildly, and after a moment of silence: "Hmm... let’s go first, hopefully, it really won’t affect us as you said."
