Chapter 123: Tomorrow

Yun Ye naturally believed this explanation, as the little girl was the personification of his Dao Tool.

This made Yun Ye breathe a sigh of relief for the moment. He waved his hand, opening the entrance to the Crescent Moon Secret Realm beneath the rat’s corpse, sending both the body and the bloodied straw into the Secret Realm.

After doing all this, Yun Ye finally turned his attention to the little girl, who was much larger than he was.

At this point, Yun Ye was only slightly bigger than a palm.

The little girl looked to be about three or four years old.

The size difference was striking.

Yun Ye felt as if he were looking at a giant, and it was quite strange.

“Since you are my Dao Tool, we will be together from now on. What should I call you?”

Yun Ye communicated directly with the girl through their minds.

“Hmm~~~ You can call me Ming Ri. I really like that name,” she said with a smile.

“Ah, I see! Then I will call you Ming Ri. It’s indeed a lovely name.”

“Mm-hmm! You can call me that many times!”

Ming Ri leaned in with a joyful expression.

“…”

Yun Ye felt puzzled. Was his Dao Tool supposed to have this kind of personality?

She was simply too cute!

“Ming Ri, since you can use it now, let’s show the upgrade panel and see if it’s working.”

Yun Ye looked at Ming Ri eagerly, his eyes filled with a desire for a system, yearning for a boost.

“Upgrade system, is it this one…”

Ming Ri tapped her cheek and waved her hand, and a semi-transparent scroll unfolded in front of Yun Ye.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Yun Ye was overwhelmingly delighted.

Although infinite reincarnation seemed promising, everything relied on oneself; wasn’t that the same as any normal person?

If it were a modern setting, Yun Ye would probably still be lazy, at most putting effort into meals.

In short, his own efforts could never compare to a system!

Even if the system he created required him to upgrade it himself, he accepted it; it was definitely better than doing nothing to cultivate!

『Panel Unfolded!』

『Reincarnator: Yun Ye.』

『Level: 1/10.』

『Experience: 0/10 (Normal monsters provide at least 1 point of experience).』

『Qi Cultivation Technique · Imagining Method: Major Achievement realm (twice the effect of a perfected basic Qi Cultivation Technique), beginner’s cultivation level (1 skill point to enter).』

『Spiritual Level: Stage 3 Initial (Actually, due to lack of physical mastery, this will be downgraded; 20 skill points can upgrade it to Stage 3 Intermediate).』

『Physical Law: Not Opened.』

『Spirit Law: Not Opened.』

『Spiritual Law: Not Opened.』

『Skill Points: 0.』

“Hahaha!”

Yun Ye laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

What does it mean to defy fate? This is what it means to defy fate!

As long as he raises the level cap, he can become stronger just by hunting monsters!

“Master, there’s no need to be so happy. The upgrade experience increases very quickly. Level ten… um, you need to kill at least ten Chaotic-level monsters.”

As the master of the rules, Ming Ri understood her own limits quite well.

So, she directly interrupted Yun Ye’s voice.

“What? To reach level ten, I need to kill Chaotic-level monsters? Are you kidding?”

Yun Ye was thrown off balance.

Could he really kill chaotic monsters? Wasn’t that just a little growth acceleration?

“It’s because the resonance is too weak. If there were enough resonance, the rules would extract monster powers more effectively. Also, there are very few who recognize me… If there were more, I could go higher.”

Ming Ri blinked her eyes and made a gesture with her hand across her forehead.

“You can still grow?”

Yun Ye asked in surprise.

“Of course! I am on this path of Ming Ri. If I grow on this path, it means I will grow taller and bigger~~~ But we’re different from humans; our growth is stage-based and will suddenly increase a lot!”

Ming Ri spread her arms wide to illustrate, then floated by the window, looking outside as she said, “Master, should I let everyone know me now? They will surely like me, and then I can help you even more!”

“Wait, don’t let others see you. You are anything but ordinary!” Yun Ye quickly stopped her.

Although she looked three years old, Ming Ri had an alluring charm far beyond normal humans.

This charm was a reflection of the "path," something ordinary people couldn’t resist. If seen, it would surely cause trouble!

“Don’t worry, only Dao Tool users or those who recognize our philosophy can see me. ‘Those who cannot understand the path will not be responded to by the path’… But, everyone can see the Dao Tool; I will hide!” Ming Ri said as she transformed into light and burst back into Yun Ye’s body.

Just then, Yun Ye heard footsteps. Two people pushed open the door.

By the sound of the footsteps alone, Yun Ye recognized that they were his parents in this life.

He instinctively lay down and pretended to be asleep.

Initially, he thought he would finally get some food, but this time, his parents were strangely silent for a long moment.

Finally, the man broke the silence: “You go. Don’t let Xiao Dao suffer for no reason…”

Then, the woman sat beside Yun Ye, reaching her hand out a few times, only to pull it back.

“I… I can’t do it… Wuwu…”

????

Yun Ye was filled with questions. What was going on with his parents in this life?

Did they want to kill him? Or were they trying to sell him?

Had he exposed something?

Just as Yun Ye grew alert, ready to summon his Dao Tool…

The woman cried out in desperation: “Let’s go, let’s go… I can’t do it…”

“…”

The man said nothing and eventually led the woman away.

As soon as they left, Yun Ye immediately opened his eyes and called out to Ming Ri: “Ming Ri, can you leave me? I want you to see what’s going on!”

“Hmm~ I can act freely, but others can’t see my personality; they can only see the Dao Tool, right? Master doesn’t want everyone to know about my existence, does he?” Ming Ri sat on the bed, swinging her legs.

“If I remember correctly, during the fight with the Physical Law Official, you were independent of the Dao Tool, right?” Yun Ye asked.

“That was the case. If I leave the Dao Tool behind, I can only be a maximum of thirty meters away from you,” Ming Ri replied.

This distance was the effective range for Yun Ye to hunt monsters; if he killed monsters beyond this distance, he wouldn’t gain experience points.

Clearly, this was the "presence" of the Dao Tool, or rather, the "valid realm of the rules."

“Thirty meters… You go ahead. If it doesn’t work, then forget it. There’s nothing I can do right now.”

Yun Ye still wanted to gather more information, so he wouldn’t be caught off guard.

Ming Ri nodded, got up, and passed through the wall to pursue the matter until her dress disappeared into the wall. Only then did Yun Ye pull his focus back.

“It looks like it’s time to start cultivating!”

Yun Ye concealed his Dao Tool, leaving only the Moon Ring, which rippled like waves in the air, revealing a scene.

It was an image of the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.

Just a casual glance, and Yun Ye’s eyes widened in shock as he was astonished by the scene in the Secret Realm!

“What’s going on? Didn’t I only plant a few seeds? What is this?”
