Chapter 426: Chapter 46: Crossing the Sea to Fusang Although the Legendary Level was invested, Duncan did not immediately obtain a new Human Form.
He was bored and could only shift his attention to World One and World Two. Currently, the incarnation of the Human Form had already set foot on Japanese soil with the fleet. This was a clone of a clone, like a nesting doll; the deeper it nested, the weaker its power.
This consciousness-possession clone only had about the strength of three stars.
However, it could serve as a waypoint, allowing World One’s Human Form to attempt entering reality at critical moments, making it a qualified tool indeed.
The arrival of blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners caused a stir across the entire Kyushu Island of Japan.
They were soon detained.
The members of this fleet attempted to communicate with the natives, but with little success. Instead, the onboard missionaries caught their attention and were quickly taken away.
——Yin Yang Master (One-Star Silver Gray).
Warlock?
This specially marked unit quickly caught Duncan’s attention.
As he zoomed in with his god’s eye view, a middle-aged man dressed like an Eastern warlock appeared. Yin-Yang Dao was introduced to Japan during the Asuka Era, gradually developing during the Nara Era, and finally flourishing in the Heian Era.
Since this era still lacked enlightenment, many people firmly believed in the existence of demons and ghosts, which led to a phenomenon in Japan where humans and spirits dwelt together. They lived in quiet harmony in the dark corners of Kyoto, sometimes even under the same roof.
"Seems a bit weaker than ordinary witches."
A one-star silver-gray marked unit, being able to use some simple spells was already commendable.
They were actually a derivative branch of the Eastern Yin-Yang School. The Envoys to Tang brought back many things, and even the current mainstream culture in Japan involved learning Chinese characters, with Bai Juyi being particularly revered, holding an absolutely dominant position.
This is the early Heian Era of Japan, a period when spirits and ghosts were quite active. In a few years, the Great Yin Yang Master, Ampere Qingming, should emerge.
"Indeed, it still carries a trace of mythical aura."
As Duncan loaded into the incarnation, he could sense a flow of Spiritual Energy. Since he had come to the Eastern realm, he might as well adapt to the local customs and replace the Magic Tide with a Spiritual Energy Tide.
Night fell.
Possibly because it was their first time seeing Westerners, the crowd outside lingered until late. People inside the nearby taverns and inns were still eagerly discussing.
At this moment, a sinister-looking, tall, and thin man resembling a ronin pushed open the tavern door.
He sat down, listened carefully for a while, and then headed in the direction where the detainees were held. After turning into an inconspicuous corner, a charm appeared in his palm and instantly burned into flames.
Dimension Space.
After nightfall, Duncan gradually sensed a slight fluctuation of mana. As he switched to the god’s eye view and expanded the strategic map, one non-human mark after another soon appeared.
The closest location was about three to four hundred meters away; a dilapidated lantern suddenly lit up and then extinguished automatically when the guards patrolled.
——Lantern Ghost (Spirit Monster) (One-Star)!
(An ordinary Eastern spirit monster, its soul resides in the lantern, with only a weak power akin to Western ghost fire.)
Unlike the past.
Duncan’s god’s eye view seemed to have more powerful analytical insight, directly marking discovered targets. On the projection page, there were several constant states: Identification, Reading All Things, Diplomatic Speech, etc.
These were magic-like abilities simulated by the Holy Relic of the God of Machinery.
"Master Bamboo!"
"The strange-looking foreigners are detained over there."
After a while, the Lantern Ghost floated down and said to a nearby bamboo stalk, "The Yin Yang Bureau is guarding them. I dare not get too close."
——Bamboo Demon (spirit monster) (Two-Star Silver Gray)!
(A hundred-year-old Bamboo Demon with a bit of power, capable of rough magic.)
Could be worse.
Better than Anya back in the day!
This dark green bamboo did not have the ability to take human form but instead pieced together a bit of a human silhouette and pretended to be serious, "Got it."
"I will report to Yaksha immediately."
After speaking, it directly burrowed into a bamboo grove at some estate.
"So many monsters?"
At this time, Duncan was also quite surprised in the Dimension Space. He hadn’t seen much during the day, but after nightfall, various mountain spirits and ghosts appeared in succession nearby.
No wonder it’s the Night Parade of Hundred Demons during the Heian Era!
"Why haven’t I seen a Shikigami?"
Duncan expanded his god’s eye view, marking this town on the strategic map.
After an unknown amount of time.
A unique mark emerged, a tall figure draped in long clothing with a conical hat appeared on the dark street.
——Yaksha (Spirit Monster) (Three-Star Silver Gray)!
(A demon traveling east with Buddhism to Fusang, originating from Indian mythical creatures, initially secretly followed the Envoys to Tang, and wandered throughout Fusang to avoid the retreat of myths.)
This Yaksha obviously had lived in Fusang for a long time.
