"Sea of Consciousness..." Qu Jianlei murmured softly. To this day, he had yet to grasp the mysteries of the Sea of Consciousness.
This was a major hidden danger, but it was not as though he was terribly afraid of it.
Not to mention that he had the Dao Stele by his side. Even if the Flying Centipede revived, how much trouble could it cause? His cultivation could not possibly remain stagnant. After encountering the Flying Centipede a few more times, his cultivation might even surpass its own.
Still, having foreign objects constantly lurking in his Sea of Consciousness was not only unsafe, but genuinely unpleasant—he could not even have a private conversation without concern.
Of course, the most worrying thing was that if it acted up while he was breaking through an important checkpoint, the consequences could be severe.
He asked evenly, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Of course, destroy that bastard," Yuan Wu replied leisurely. "If you agree, I can give you the Secret Treasure."
"Why would I need to wait for you to give it to me?" Qu Jianlei smiled. "Once you return, I can take it myself."
Yuan Wu instead asked, "Do you know what is inside this Secret Treasure?"
"I don't," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "But I have no interest in knowing..."
"This Secret Treasure looks like an Abode. The Abode alone is enough for me."
Yuan Wu was not surprised that the other party had recognized it as an Abode—after all, he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with a Cultivation System foundation.
He merely said, "There are hand seals required to take away my Abode."
"This is... ridiculously tedious," Qu Jianlei shook his head. Honestly, it was rather annoying.
But the Flying Centipede had already remained in his Sea of Consciousness.
