The terms "Small Wraith" and "Great Wraith" refer to differences in size, species, or even bloodline, not in rank.

There are also Golden Core and Nascent Soul Level infants in the Great Wraith.

Even the strongest beings in the Small Wraith can reach the Integration Stage or the Mahayana Cultivation Level.

However, the Small Wraith evolved from Wraith Beast poisoned with drugs. The Wraith bloodline is not pure, and its efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Power is relatively low. It is usually small in size and low in rank. The Small Wraith in the Body Integration Realm is very rare.

This can be seen from the Octopus Wraith that attacked Xiao Ran.

The Netherworld cultivator at the Body Integration Realm Wraith captured a Nascent Spirit Severing cultivator through a sneak attack, demonstrating his mastery of stealth and cunning—no wonder he reached the Integration Realm! However, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, just as he sensed something amiss with the captured Spirit Severing cultivator, he was dismembered by another Spirit Severing cultivator behind him...

Humans are so corrupt! Why was it completely unaware that a Spirit Severing cultivator had already appeared above its head?

Why can a mere Spirit Severing cultivator wield such incredible power?

Before he could think it through, the Octopus Wraith's intelligence, which it had painstakingly maintained for thousands of years, vanished as its body was dismembered, turning into nothingness and dust.

Xiao Ran stood out of thin air amidst the torrential rain of eyeballs.

Listening to the eerie tinkling sound of eyeballs falling into the sea, and looking up at the striking red shadow overhead, it was as if I were seeing a being from another level.

This was the first time he had truly faced the power of his Master.

He shared the same confusion as the Octopus Wraith.

Master's Tidal Power can not only change the local distribution of Spiritual Power, but even the distribution of dark power!

In the past, Master would gather Spiritual Power around a single month and release it instantly, such as the Impeding Sword Qi repeatedly sent him flying.

This time, Master actually summoned the Twin Moons, which seeped into the Wraith and altered the distribution of Netherworld power inside and outside! If it weren't for his small size and highly concentrated Netherworld power, even he would have been torn apart by this force!

However, his Master expended very little Spiritual Power, using a method even he couldn't comprehend to subtly alter the laws of nature in that specific space...

Is this incredible power truly within the reach of humankind? The only drawback is that even the Master's own physical body would find it difficult to withstand this power.

There was also bleeding from the Palace Body...

Xiao Ran thought to herself that this was probably why her Master chose to kill with one blow, as she would also find it difficult to fight a prolonged battle.

It is evident that the sword wound that his Master took for him has not yet fully healed.

It seems that this time, the journey of the Apostle cannot rely entirely on the Master. We must rely on our own efforts, complete the tasks, and also collect as much filial Filial Piety Points as possible to make the honeymoon last!

Beneath the clouds, above the rain of eyes.

Lingzhou Yue, with her sword-like figure and flowing red sleeves, tilted her head back and drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, fully replenishing her body's fluids. She then glanced down at Xiao Ran.

In her eyes, Xiao Ran was an even more mysterious and unknown being.

"You're such a perfect bait, so delicious, even your master wants to devour you."

"Master, you should take the medicine."

Xiao Ran moved swiftly to his Master's side, fed her some Blood Replenishing Pills, and gently vibrated his palms on her lower back to accelerate the absorption of the medicine.

"The mission has only just begun, Master, and you've already gone all out. What are we going to do next?"

Lingzhou Yue enjoyed Xiao Ran's massage, her lower body feeling as warm as a furnace.

"Didn't I say I came here for my honeymoon? Except for saving your life in critical moments, I'll be resting the rest of the time."

Xiao Ran was puzzled.

Was that considered a crucial moment?

Lingzhou Yue slowly raised her eyes and looked into the clouds.

"This Wraith has an owner."

"Owner?"

Xiao Ran was startled, then looked up at the clouds.

As the rain of tears fell from the eyeballs, the scattered Netherworld power vanished completely.

The downpour abruptly stopped, and the lightning ceased.

The clouds parted, and sunlight shone down.

The sea then calmed down.

A golden ray of afterglow shone down from the clouds, like a mirage, condensing into the figure of a giant sitting cross-legged above the calm sea.

Xiao Ran Mind Concentration his breath and sensed that something was wrong.

The colossal figure was extremely robust, its entire body black and covered with intricate patterns resembling the laws of nature. Faint wing shadows hovered behind it, appearing as silhouettes in the dim light of the distant sun, exuding a divine quality of the unity of all things.

He was hairless and beardless, with only a pair of huge, patterned eyes on his flat face. Like a god looking down at ants, he stared at Xiao Ran and Lingzhou Yue, speaking calmly. His voice echoed through the sky and rippled across the sea.

"Who has trespassed into the Sacred Domain?"

Xiao Ran felt light and unsteady, his gaze fixed, and goosebumps rose all over his body, as if he had seen a god.

Those are those wrinkled eyes; I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

Just as he was about to introduce himself with piety and fearlessness, his Master stopped him.

"Even if you were transformed into a dog, I would still recognize the eyes of the Beast Taming Elder Dong Xuanzi, who was hated by everyone in the Saint Demon Sect back then. I never thought that after so many years, you would have changed your profession to Netherworld Taming."

Dong Xuanzi is quite something!

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback. The Demon Sect 'Beast Taming Elder had transferred to the Heretical Sect?

This body possesses a transparent divinity, devoid of both demonic and dark nature.

The golden colossal figure's eyes froze for a moment, then relaxed, and it sighed with regret:

"A thousand years have passed, and compared to the girl who was just Qi Refining back then, you really haven't changed at all, Lingzhou Yue."

Lingzhou Yue pursed her lips indifferently.

"If you know me, why are you asking who I am?"

The giant golden shadow added another sentence.

"Also... whether back then or now, I am not called Dong Xuanzi."

"The name doesn't matter. Do you know that raising Wraith Beast is illegal? That's why the Dao Alliance is causing trouble for the Apostle."

Lingzhou Yue made up something on the spot.

Beast Taming Elder, raising Wraith Beast... This guy really thinks he's a god.

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that the Single-Winged Bird had exactly the same eyes, didn't it? It seemed that this was a biologist with a scientific spirit, just like Orochimaru.

The giant golden shadow remained unmoved.

"The world is about to collapse. How can ordinary people understand my cause? You have talent but do not explore your own limits and do nothing for the world. You are the great sinner of the Dharma Ending Era."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran thought to himself that this guy was not only a beast taming expert, but also had quite the eloquence!

Lingzhou Yue's eyelids drooped slightly, looking a little tipsy.

"You should save those words for the Dao Alliance Arbitrator."

The golden, colossal figure remained calm and still, suspended in the sky.

"You are beautiful enough. There's no need to use high-sounding justice to beautify yourself. Go back. The Apostle don't have what you're looking for."

Lingzhou Yue feigned surprise.

"Huh, you know what I'm looking for?"

"Searching for the Dragon".

"You've come to the right place to find the dragon. If you're willing to hand over the dragon to me, I can release you."

"The Apostle have been dedicated to healing many corrupted divine beasts for many years, but there is no dragon among them. We have been searching for it ourselves. Someone wanted to use us to do their dirty work, and you were tricked into coming here."

"Then take me to see Black Zither, one of the Four Great Priests of the Apostle. If you don't have a dragon, a snake will do."

"She is in seclusion and will not emerge unless the true dragon you are looking for appears. Please return."

Lingzhou Yue tilted his head back and drank, his expression stubborn.

What if I don't reply?

"Unless you are a true dragon, you will perish on this sea."

After he finished speaking, the golden giant shadow disappeared, leaving only a ring of light with a zigzag pattern floating in the sky.

Like the sun, moon, and stars, their distance is indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Xiao Ran found it strange.

Looking around, there was nothing there except for the white halo above his head.

The sea was calm and still, without a ripple, and seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction.

Only ancient beast cries, seemingly traversing endless time and space, faintly echoed in my ears, sometimes near, sometimes far.

Xiao Ran opened his divine sense, which seemed to be able to see very far, but at the end of his divine sense, he saw himself.

It's like the Great Wilderness reaching its end and then returning to its starting point.

Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly.

"Is it another illusion?"

Xiao Ran observed carefully and then shook his head.

"A simple illusion Art of Resonance should be able to see through it easily. But there's more than just illusion here; there's also a distorted space, and the flow of time is wrong."

When did it start?

"When Master was talking to the enemy, the enemy put on a grand entrance animation, with golden light shining everywhere, just to divert our attention."

Lingzhou Yue was clearly annoyed by the illusion, but she didn't back down verbally.

"If I hadn't instantly killed the Nascent Soul Wraith, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as an illusion. He didn't dare to confront us head-on, so he resorted to such petty tricks. A beast tamer's illusions can only be used on cats and dogs at most; how could they possibly trap a human?"

Xiao Ran smiled and agreed.

"Master is right."

After three days of observation, the Sword Ship was still adrift on the vast and boundless sea.

Besides the mental torment, the two were also constantly losing Spiritual Power, including the Netherworld power within Xiao Ran's body.

Without corrosive waves and torrential rain, and without the harassment of the Wraith Beast, Lingzhou Yue's Spiritual Power and Xiao Ran's Netherworld power dissipated at an even faster rate than before.

This rate of spiritual energy depletion indicates that a higher-level Wraith is nearby.

Moreover, the even distribution of the Wraith made the Spiritual Power seem to flow in all directions, making it impossible for even Xiao Ran to pinpoint its location.

Not only could they not locate Wraith, but they also could not locate the others through the communication ring, and they could not even contact Wen Yushu.

On the Sword Ship.

Hot spring pool.

Lingzhou Yue for three days and three nights, and her body was almost covered in wrinkles.

She could use the Tidal Power to forcefully break through, but since she didn't know the enemy's location or find the core of the formation, forcibly using the Tidal Power might waste more Spiritual Power than it dissipated.

"When will this broken illusion end?!"

Lingzhou Yue chewed on a flower petal, her red lips slightly pursed.

Xiao Ran, however, was not in a hurry.

He had been studying the details of illusions and spatial arrays, occasionally giving his Master a massage, drawing notebooks, and taking advantage of others.

Lingzhou Yue had no idea where his composure came from.

"You seem quite relaxed."

"There's no use in being anxious."

Xiao Ran continuously probed with his Resonance Divine Sense and deduced further using his knowledge of Spirit Runes, eventually arriving at three conclusions.

First, the fusion of Wraith power and spatial array suggests the possible existence of a high-level Netherworld being nearby.

Secondly, there is a very high-level illusion array, and the source of the array's Spiritual Power is not "Dong Xuanzi" from before. The circular light circle in the air seems to be the switch of the array, but forcibly using Spiritual Power to impact this switch may result in being controlled like Spirit Beast.

This is a trap! Fortunately, Master's intelligence is limited, and he did not realize that it was a switch, so he was not fooled at all.

Third, the perceived flow of time here is similar to that in the Great Wilderness, indicating that the Great Wilderness may also be within the formation.

Based on these three points, it can be inferred that the spellcaster must be very strong, and there must be Mahayana- level beings among the Apostle!

Master knows nothing about illusions, and illusions are by no means trivial skills, especially when they combine spatial arrays and the absorption of nether energy. Falling into their trap could be fatal.

This is only the initial stage of exploring the map. If we don't figure out the illusion magic, it will be very difficult later on.

Moreover, with his Master by his side at this pace of time, Xiao Ran felt quite relaxed.

Just by giving Master massages and chatting with Master, I've earned a lot of Filial Piety Points.

However, he observed that his Master was clearly not as leisurely and refined as she was in the Great Wilderness, and no longer had that girlish heart that used to explore the world and the human body.

Instead, he became restless and no longer had the carefree demeanor that Xiao Ran had imagined his Master to be.

"Does Master have some unspeakable difficulty?"

Xiao Ran sat cross-legged on the shore behind his Master, massaging his Master's shoulders as he asked a question.

Lingzhou Yue fiddled with the smooth pebbles by the pond, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"No, I just simply hate illusions."

Xiao Ran tentatively asked:

"Is it because of that Master Oriental?"

Lingzhou Yue was taken aback, only then remembering the reason.

"It seems that the information you received in the Divine Martial Kingdom was correct. Although I do not understand illusion magic, I am too familiar with this feeling. That woman is indeed Apostle."

Xiao Ran asked curiously:

"What exactly are you familiar with?"

Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly, pondering carefully.

"In the Great Wilderness, it felt very romantic, as if there was endless fun in exploring the world. Now, on the endless sea, all that's left is boredom and tedium, and it's even constantly draining my Spiritual Power..."

"That's just how love is."

Single guy Xiao Ran is back to selling his theories on love, which he developed through his past life's fantasies.

"At first, love is the joy of mutual exploration, but it quickly turns into a tedious and boring torment, while also draining your physical strength. Only when you can have children will you enter another realm."

Lingzhou Yue seemed to have an epiphany, feeling that perhaps this was the dilemma between women.

"Do you think... having children is fun?"

Xiao Ran nodded, as if he himself had been born.

"It's fun, but raising children is more torturous than love."

Lingzhou Yue pouted, looking slightly disappointed.

"What's the point of all this stuff between men and women? Don't tell me it'll get better after all this suffering. I'm already fed up with it before the suffering even ends."

Xiao Ran shared the same view as his Master on this point; he too couldn't bear the thought of hardship finally turning into happiness.

"The meaning of love lies in... the pain and the pleasure."

Lingzhou Yue nodded slightly, lost in thought.

"That woman is indeed very charming... but she doesn't seem to bring me much happiness. What is it about her that I'm attracted to her?"

"Master, could you explain in detail? This is very important for breaking the illusion."

"Oriental Xuan Ye, it's been a long time, so I'm not entirely sure, but that's probably her name. She's a junior of mine, a top student in every way, and I've heard from others that she's always secretly competing with me."

They excel in every aspect, yet they insist on competing with you...

I never imagined my Master was a Versailles expert! "And then what happened?"

"At first I didn't pay much attention. Once, during a field internship, she was attacked by a group of demons. I happened to be passing by, so I naturally played the hero and saved her. I killed the demons and gave her some Spiritual Power, which barely saved her life."

"Then she became obsessed with me, spending every day with me, driving away all the other women in my Imperial Harem. In order to stay with me forever, this woman secretly studied illusion magic and even tried to change my personality and soul."

A yandere master's wife? This story is too coincidental and unremarkable; Xiao Ran always felt something was amiss.

Lingzhou Yue added, "I think that's when I started to become stupid. By then, she wasn't just in love, she was obsessed."

You're quite self-aware!

Xiao Ran simply couldn't understand how women could become possessed by each other. At least men could achieve physical fusion, so what were women after...?

"How did she become possessed? What could women possibly do to cause her to become possessed?"

In fact, Lingzhou Yue was also confused. She only pursued girls because of her physical limitations; it was better than being bored alone.

She said that the joy of Dual Cultivation Spiritual Power far surpasses physical pleasure.

You've been scammed! Xiao Ran shook his head.

"I think it's more fun for men and women to climb mountains together."

Lingzhou Yue paused slightly, stopping her delicate hands that were fiddling with the pebbles. It took her a while to understand what Xiao Ran meant.

"Even if you had the guts, I wouldn't want to give birth in an illusion; I feel like someone would see it."

"Then let's go out."

Xiao Ran stood up, took out a large bird, stepped onto it, and flew out of the Sword Ship.

On the calm, boundless sea.

He made the Single-Winged Bird's Reincarnation Eye stare directly at the halo of light in the sky.

The Single-Winged Bird's eyes narrowed, its body trembled violently, and it was about to take flight and tear through the air—

Xiao Ran stepped on it, Resonance with it.

The Single-Winged Bird's patterned eyes and the patterned halo in the air synchronized instantly! Its soul was trapped in the snare...

At the same time!

The Xiao Ran soul, Resonance with the Single-Winged Bird, observes everything with keen interest from outside the trap.

Because the Reincarnation Eye and the halo pattern share the same origin, Xiao Ran was able to use the Netherworld power of the Single-Winged Bird to shake off the halo!

The halo dissipated.

Spatial expansion.

The sea surface rolled backwards.

The Sword Ship emerged from the illusion array and appeared at the edge of a huge vortex.

February was filled with family matters, which caused my updates to be slow and the writing wasn't very satisfactory. I will update more frequently in March and strive to write more engaging content.
