Chapter 122: The Spirit of the Dao Tool

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

Yun Ye woke up to the noisy chirping of cicadas.

The sunlight was bright; even with his eyes closed, he could tell he was being cradled by a hardworking woman.

From the sounds, the woman was harvesting crops in the fields.

(Another life as a farmer, let them witness how the Chosen One rises from humble beginnings…)

This thought flashed through Yun Ye’s mind before he fell back into a deep sleep.

Even with memories, his newly born body could not support complex thinking.

…

By the time Yun Ye’s consciousness gradually became clear, it was already a dozen days later, and the rice harvest was complete.

On this day, he was finally not taken outside and had time without interruption.

Yun Ye propped himself up on the wooden bed covered with straw and took a deep breath. A projection of the moon appeared beneath his feet.

This was the gate to the Secret Realm, which Yun Ye called the "Moon Disk."

For now, the Moon Disk couldn’t transport him in a mere thought.

So, Yun Ye was slowly being absorbed; as he was swallowed bit by bit, he appeared in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.

Once he sank completely into the bed and vanished, the other Yun Ye stepped onto the soil and saw the current Crescent Moon Secret Realm.

In its original state, the Crescent Moon Secret Realm was very simple, with only the hanging Moon Disk, some land, and a puddle of water.

There was nothing else.

All the Spiritual Herbs, Spiritual Tools, and magical artifacts left by Yun Ye in his previous life had already dissolved in the Nirvana.

Though starting from scratch, compared to his first and second lives, this was already a launching point, and Yun Ye felt full of ambition.

"Then, let everything start with you!"

Yun Ye opened his hands, and a few grains of rice appeared in his little palms.

These were his harvest from the past few days. Although he could have thrown them into the Secret Realm long ago, he decided to plant them himself.

So, Yun Ye dragged his baby body and struggled to bury a few seeds in the soil.

Limited by his strength, even though the soil was very loose, Yun Ye dug shallowly; whether they could sprout depended on luck.

But it felt ceremonial, bringing great comfort to Yun Ye.

Unlike his first and second lives, this place truly belonged to Yun Ye alone, without any outsiders to interfere.

Starting with these seeds, he would embark on a path of rapid development; this known future made him feel at ease!

Yun Ye buried the seeds, satisfied after looking at them a few times, and returned to the ordinary world without even watering them.

He didn’t have the Moon Ring yet and couldn’t check on the outside situation, so he needed to hurry back.

After all, normally, parents wouldn’t leave a child alone at home for too long. If they returned unexpectedly, he wouldn’t have a good explanation, and news could spread, possibly attracting people from Baishi Town.

Yun Ye returned to the bed and listened for a while, but his parents did not come back during this life. Exhaustion swept over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Now that summer had just passed, Yun Ye felt no chill and could sleep soundly.

He slept deeply from sunset to sunrise, waking up the next day.

Yun Ye woke up because he was hungry.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled to see a large rat by his bedside, about the size of his fist, just slightly smaller than Yun Ye!

From a baby’s perspective, this creature could be a threat to his life.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”

The gray rat moved around, showing interest in Yun Ye.

Yun Ye quickly sensed that something was wrong.

He couldn’t even crawl; how could he possibly stand a chance against an adult rat?

Without hesitation, Yun Ye remained still, and a Moon Disk appeared beneath him, intending to retreat directly to the Secret Realm.

But that would take time—at least three seconds.

Though the gray rat didn’t know what was happening, it was startled to see Yun Ye slowly disappearing. It suddenly jumped up and opened its mouth to bite Yun Ye’s arm.

At that moment, Yun Ye thought of the many germs that rats carry. In ancient times, the survival rate of children was very low because of the threats from various germs, insects, rats, and weasels.

Rats usually bring many diseases; if bitten, he could be in serious trouble!

“I must not get bitten!”

With that thought, Yun Ye’s body acted before his mind could catch up; it was a reflex.

In the instant the rat lunged, red and blue light suddenly erupted, and the Ming Rihui Sword appeared dazzlingly amidst the light. A flash of red swept through, and the gray rat was instantly split in two, blood splattering all over the straw bed.

“Oh no, I’ve been exposed!”

Seeing this scene, Yun Ye felt no joy; rather, his face turned pale.

In reality, he could sense the Dao Tool from the very first day of his birth, but he never dared to awaken it, resulting in the Moon Ring being disabled too. Otherwise, he could observe the outside world from the Secret Realm and wouldn’t need to rush out.

The reason for his fear was simple.

In his first life, awakening the Dao Tool in the Secret Realm allowed Baishi Town to discover that he had obtained it.

Now that he was in the outside world, if he awakened the Dao Tool, wouldn’t there be a great chance that Baishi Town would notice?

And once they noticed, the entire village might suffer, getting wiped out to prevent future troubles!

This was clearly very bad!

“Is this just bad luck? Or is this rat a calamity brought by the Dao Tool? How coincidental, to encounter it at my weakest moment!”

If only this rat had come a few weeks later, Yun Ye could have easily dealt with it without needing to use the Dao Tool!

Now, he could only be thankful that he hadn’t set a stronger calamity, or he might have faced great trouble in every subsequent life!

The Dao Tool was his way, but there was no reset option, and changing the rules could only rely on echoes!

As Yun Ye anxiously thought of countermeasures, the Ming Rihui Sword suddenly radiated light, transforming into a small figure.

“…Yayaya (Is that you? You are the Ming Rihui Sword?)”

Yun Ye found himself unable to speak.

But it didn’t matter.

The little girl before him could communicate with him telepathically.

Indeed, the Ming Rihui Sword had once again manifested as the little girl who had appeared before.

This little girl had long black hair reaching her waist, with a flaming lotus flower hanging on the left side of her hair. The scattered flame patterns adorned her black hair and face, creating a striking contrast with her fair skin.

In addition, her eyes were extraordinary, resembling fiery red flames, clear as crystal. Her outfit, featuring red patterns, was equally clear and simple, complementing her perfectly.

From her long stockings to her short-in-front and long-behind skirt, the base color was white, decorated with red patterns, showcasing a strong personal style.

This outfit clearly merged Yun Ye’s aesthetic, proving to be a fitting creation for his Dao Tool.

She tilted her head, studying Yun Ye for a moment, a cute smile on her face: “Master, there’s no need to worry. They can discover us because of the Dao Tool, but there are no Dao Tools around now, so even if you use me, there won’t be any problems.”

“Yayayayayaya (You know the details)?” Yun Ye’s eyes lit up.

The little girl twirled, extending her arms like blooming flowers, and when she stopped, she happily said: “Of course! My abilities are like my hands and feet; how could I not be clear about their functions?”

“The Dao Tool has a unique presence, and its presence in reality is the range of rules it covers. Only when we are within the range of the Dao Tool’s rules will they notice us!”

“Of course, if other Dao Tools invade our ‘domain,’ we can notice them too!”

“So, there’s no need to worry; there are no Dao Tools nearby!”
