Chapter 617
World Spirit
Something's not right.
Ning Qi, however, wore a solemn expression as he observed the situation: "Unlike that painting, which was controlled by Shi Xiaokun."
"And here, there is no one."
"Master, what should we do? What you saw is right here, isn't it?"
Yao Ling looked at Ning Qi and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that's it, this is the place."
Ning Qi nodded, then added, "Don't come out. I suspect there's something wrong here."
"Okay, then I'll use my telepathic message to tell Xiao Kun to stay on the edge, so he won't get trapped here too."
Yao Ling's expression turned solemn, and then she began to transmit her voice to Shi Xiaokun.
Ning Qi looked down at the ancient castle and then sped towards it.
As he passed by, the void behind him began to gradually distort.
It also emitted spatial fluctuations.
However, Ning Qi was no longer able to pay attention to that; his attention had been completely drawn to the ancient castle.
A pair of eyes observed the situation before them.
Finally, it landed in the courtyard of this ancient castle.
"call!"
He took a deep breath and then began to patrol the area.
It's completely empty here; outside this castle, there's nothing of value left.
"What is it that's attracting my attention?"
Ning Qi stopped and continued to observe the situation.
Unfortunately, we never found anything wrong with it.
Gradually, he felt that he was losing himself here.
At this critical moment, Ning Qi suddenly thought of something.
So he summoned his own chaotic flames.
"call!"
Chaotic flames swirled around him, surging and churning incessantly.
At first, Ning Qi didn't feel anything, but after he sensed another aura coming from here.
Ning Qi focused his attention on what was ahead.
"Now that you're here, come out."
He looked ahead and said calmly at the end.
"Oh, so you found out."
After he finished speaking, a soft exclamation rang out from the void.
However, the sound was like sandpaper.
It made his scalp tingle, and he felt as if he had married into an ice cave.
"Who are you? Come out and show yourself. Don't be so sneaky."
Ning Qi glared ahead and asked in the direction of the sound.
"Oh, everyone who saw me is dead."
"If you're not afraid of death, I can come out and show you who I am."
Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, the man laughed and said, "If you dare to trespass into my cultivation grounds, you'd better prepare to die!"
After he said that, Ning Qi frowned even more: "So, you've been cultivating here!"
"Not bad! Kid, I'm currently in seclusion cultivating."
"If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of here, or you'll regret it."
The man heard what Ning Qi was saying and then retorted.
"Oh, since you're so strong, why don't you come out and let me have a go at you?"
Ning Qi became interested immediately upon hearing this.
A pair of eyes, fixed intently ahead.
“Master, he’s just being mysterious. I have a feeling he’s hiding inside a treasure.”
"It's because of the aura of a priceless treasure that we sensed something was amiss here."
The medicinal spirit within his dantian began to analyze along with him.
"I feel the same way."
"I'm looking for his scent."
Ning Qi's mind raced, and he spoke to Yao Ling.
"I'll send a telepathic message to Shi Xiaokun to see if he has any ideas."
Yao Ling suddenly thought of something and quickly said.
"it is good!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he continued, "Then I'll look for him here. You should contact him as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master!"
After Yao Ling agreed, he began to contact Shi Xiaokun within his dantian.
"call!"
After a few breaths, Yao Ling successfully communicated with Shi Xiaokun telepathically.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, deliberately started to pretend and began searching around.
"What do you want with me?"
Shi Xiaokun simply guided his divine sense into Ning Qi's dantian.
This was something he specifically left in Ning Qi's sea of consciousness.
Ning Qi can contact him with just a thought.
Yao Ling also knew this method, so she found Shi Xiaokun very easily.
"The master has found a problem here and needs your help."
Yao Ling quickly said.
"What's the problem?"
After hearing his words, Shi Xiaokun asked curiously.
In his memory, Ning Qi never needed to ask for help.
If they called him here, he must have run into some trouble.
"We're trapped here, unable to get out."
"And most importantly, there is another being here that is just like the World Spirit, and we can't do anything to him."
Yao Ling began to speak to Shi Xiaokun.
"Oh, what exactly happened? Tell me about it."
Shi Xiaokun immediately became interested and asked Yao Ling to continue.
"I wanted to ask you what's going on here."
Yao Ling quickly said.
"That's easy, I'll go check it out."
Shi Xiaokun agreed and then flew off.
However, the entrance to the Sumeru space behind him was still absorbing the weapons and armor there on its own.
"call!"
The next moment, Shi Xiaokun and Yao Ling appeared before Ning Qi.
Why are you back?
Ning Qi saw Shi Xiaokun appear and asked curiously.
"As long as my divine sense is within a certain range of us, it can return instantly."
Shi Xiaokun then promptly added.
"I see. But now that you've come, we're completely trapped here."
Ning Qi initially appreciated his words, but after thinking about something, he suddenly became serious.
“Master, don’t worry, I know what’s going on here.”
After observing carefully for a while, Shi Xiaokun spoke to Ning Qi with great certainty.
"Oh, what's going on? Tell me about it."
Ning Qi became interested immediately upon hearing this.
He also wanted to know what exactly was going on here.
"There's a spirit causing trouble here."
Shi Xiaokun looked around and said with a smile, "He can control this domain, and he can control us."
“He had already figured out how to deal with us from the moment he came in.”
"Oh, is that so?"
After hearing his explanation, Ning Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, do you have a way to break his restriction?"
“Master, this is not difficult.”
Upon hearing his question, Shi Xiaokun couldn't help but smile and reply.
"It's not difficult, but why can't we get out?"
Yao Ling chimed in with a comment: "The truth is often very complicated."
"That's easy, I can break the restrictions here."
"After all, the spiritual energy that supports the operation of the restrictions here is gone."
"Master, then leave it to me."
"I promise to take care of the spirits here."
Shi Xiaokun revealed a confident expression.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
Ning Qi nodded in agreement and stepped aside. "Phew!"
Here, Shi Xiaokun had already formed hand seals and begun to unleash his full power.
Under his control, this void began to tremble.
Especially in the area surrounding them.
The once pitch-black void gradually began to glow with light.
"Splash!"
The next moment, the black void was like a piece of cloth.
And just like that, Shi Xiaokun took direct control of it.
It has completely transformed into its original appearance as the Boundary Sea Void.
At this point, Ning Qi finally understood what was going on here.
It turns out that this is also a void space hidden inside a wormhole.
It seems there's some kind of magic weapon here that can control this place.
So that their descendants may have the opportunity to come here.
"It's inside this castle."
Shi Xiaokun immediately saw through the situation and said to Ning Qi, "Be careful."
"Alright, you go and clean up this mess. I'll take care of this."
Ning Qi glanced back and then gave the instructions.
"Yes, Master."
After agreeing, Shi Xiaokun left immediately.
Ning Qi then leaped into the air and landed atop the ancient castle.
"You know how powerful I am, so you'd better come out obediently."
"If you continue to hide, I will refine you directly."
Ning Qi looked down and said coldly.
"Hmph, you're asking for death."
All I got in return was a cold snort.
Then a dark shadow suddenly flew towards him.
Within the shadowy figure, a cold glint flashed by.
In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Ning Qi.
It looked like they were about to behead him.
"Out of control."
Ning Qi, on the contrary, looked at him coldly, and then began to make his move.
He reached out with his right hand and grabbed at the shadowy claw.
Originally, he intended to deliver a fatal blow, but this spirit still possessed considerable strength.
Just get out of the way.
To be precise, he managed to slip away from Ning Qi by virtue of his control over the area.
"Tsk tsk, it runs pretty fast."
Ning Qi clicked his tongue and then focused his attention on what was ahead.
The black light was surging, clearly heading towards the outside of the wormhole.
"Want to go?"
After Ning Qi saw it clearly, he snorted coldly.
Then it transformed into a streak of light and went after it.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up with her.
On the contrary, his speed actually decreased.
"What's going on? I'm already at the Golden Immortal level, yet I still can't escape."
Ning Qi sensed the immense power here and couldn't help but remark, "Just like people, they're too smart."
Do you have any good ideas?
"No."
Yao Ling shook his head, then pointed ahead and said, "Master, I think we're wrong. This bastard is just messing with us."
How did you figure that out?
Ning Qi couldn't help but show curiosity after hearing his words.
“Master, he is the spirit of this place. Whether it is the spiritual energy here or anything else here, it can be used by him.”
"Even though he's right next to us, we feel like we're at the ends of the earth."
After observing carefully for a while, Yao Ling finally couldn't help but speak.
"Even if you're right, we still can't deal with him."
Ning Qi sighed: "Is this world spirit really that strong in its own realm? It's not even in the same league as an opponent."
At this point, Ning Qi finally believed that there are always higher levels to reach and more capable people to surpass.
Even a single spirit beast could overwhelm him and throw him into disarray.
"In that case, I have no choice but to find a way to destroy it."
Ning Qi smiled, then waved his hand, summoning his Chaos Flame: "If I can't have it, then I'll burn everything to ashes."
"I see this place as nothing more than a broken lower realm. Once I burn it down, everything will be gone."
"Yes, Master!"
"If we can't get it, no one else can find it either."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ling immediately revealed a smug expression.
"Then, go die."
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then unleashed all his power.
He imbued his chaotic flames with power, and they shot out in all directions.
Here, wherever the chaotic flames touched, things began to twist and deform.
It simply couldn't withstand the destructive power of being burned by the chaotic flames.
In just a few breaths, gaps connecting to the outside world began to appear here.
"Sir, wait!"
It was at this moment that the spirit that had just been threatening Ning Qi and the others suddenly appeared.
He was completely covered in black, and he knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
"Oh, so now you're willing to come out and beg for mercy? What were you doing earlier?"
Ning Qi looked at the spirit world before him and said with a smile, "You'd better prepare to disappear."
"Spare my life, and I'm willing to offer up this entire realm!"
The spirit immediately knelt down and pleaded.
"What's the point of keeping a place that has no value anymore?"
"You didn't see it? I'm a person from another realm myself!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately showed a disdainful expression.
"My lord, although this place is already dilapidated, there are still many people who covet it."
"I see that your lower realm was only recently refined."
"This is exactly when you need a lot of resources."
"And here I have what you need, and I also have what you don't need."
"I have more of what you've seen, and I also have things you haven't seen."
The spirit began to boast.
There was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Then let me see what else you've hidden."
Ning Qi also became interested.
He's already found a way to deal with him.
Then there's no need to rush.
"Sir, please come with me!"
Seeing that Ning Qi seemed very interested, the spirit of the realm continued.
"Fine! You'd better not try anything funny, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
Ning Qi nodded and reminded him, word by word.
"Rest assured, sir, I would never dare to do anything reckless!"
The spirit quickly agreed and continued leading the way.
Ning Qi and he returned to the courtyard of the castle.
"call!"
A strong wind blew by, making the place appear particularly desolate.
Where is the thing?
"You hid them all?"
After landing, Ning Qi asked in a deep voice.
"My lord, please don't be in a hurry."
"We've gone down and we have it in hand."
The spirit pointed ahead and flew away first.
Ning Qi didn't stop either, following closely behind.
The two quickly arrived at a well.
"Master, be careful! I have a feeling that this bastard has something up his sleeve!"
Seeing this, the spirit medicine quickly reminded him from within his dantian. (End of Chapter)
