A Woman Truly to Be Envied!
Somewhere in the underground cave.
In the center of the altar.
Black Zither sat cross-legged in the pool of blood in the center of the altar, swallowed some Palace Warming Pill, and used her energy to restore her physical body.
Although she herself also possessed the Cultivation Level the Body Integration Realm, because she controlled too many giant python clones simultaneously, she not only controlled them through the division of her soul but also relied on the Spiritual Power in her Dantian.
The advantage is that she can completely control all of her giant python clones, and each of them is very powerful, none of them being below the level of a fully Cultivation Level.
The downside is that when she encounters an unreasonable player like Xiao Ran, the vibrations reach her body before she can even Resonance.
Her Dantian could withstand the shock, but Xiao Ran's Resonance vibration was all-encompassing, quickly affecting her entire body, especially her Palace Body, which was closest to her Dantian. Its fragile structure could not withstand such a continuous and intense shock.
Her largest and smallest serpents, the Azure Python and the Jade Python, had both suffered at Xiao Ran's hands, causing her to subconsciously hide her other clones, no longer wanting to test this man...
After being captured by Xiao Ran, the Jade Python was completely trapped in space and time, unable to escape or obtain any useful information. Black Zither had no choice but to sever its split soul.
While recuperating, he also focused on the affairs of the Apostle.
Suddenly, a male voice drifted down from above. "Your white dragon avatar is in my Space Ring. Do you have anything to say?"
"Xiao Ran! "Black Zither's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively looked around, extending her divine sense to its limit.
Only then did she realize that the voice came from Xiao Ran's Space Ring, which was connected to her main body through the jade python clone.
How could he use a disconnected clone to forcibly reconnect with the main body's soul? She didn't believe Xiao Ran possessed such power.
He was probably bluffing, trying to connect with his main body's soul by talking to his clone.
Thinking this way, she avoided answering, lest Xiao Ran pinpoint her location.
Xiao Ran's voice continued to reach her ears, or more accurately, to her Sea of Consciousness.
"I know your concerns. Although we are not friends, we are not enemies either. My Master and I are currently recuperating in the Inner Sea and have not entered the underground cave with the other teams. You may not believe it, but we really are just here on our honeymoon. I joined the mission because I killed Nanmen Yijian and had to redeem myself through meritorious service."
The Primate remained silent, never expecting that this master and disciple were truly about to become Dao Companion.
This is the Dharma Ending Era, yet these young people have such a good mentality, so leisurely! Xiao Ran wasn't sure if his divine sense had reached the true form of the Black Zither, but he continued:
"The problem now is that Master is seriously injured and I need your Spiritual Power to help, but I can't release you, otherwise you will threaten Master's safety. So I suggest that I transfer you from the Space Ring into my Qi Sea Dantian."
"My spatial magic is a bit special and I can't do that yet. But I can give you permission to release you and allow you to enter my Qi Sea through a special Space Channel."
Place a Spirit Beast into Dantian Qi Sea? Black Zither thought she had misheard something.
Even after all these years Apostle, witnessing countless strange things, none could compare to Xiao Ran's boundless imagination.
Putting aside the difference in space, the Qi Sea is a high-pressure accumulation of Spiritual Pressure, which is a spiritual medicine for oneself but may be poison for Spirit Beast; conversely, Spirit Beast that enters the Qi Sea without authorization is enough to destroy its Dantian.
What is this kid up to? "Actually, I resorted to this tactic because I couldn't bear to kill this snake. If you don't cooperate, then I'll have to reluctantly part with you, cook you into soup, and give it to my Master to nourish his body."
Xiao Ran's tone was so calm that it didn't sound like he was threatening anyone at all.
Black Zither had no other choice.
That's good. Perhaps we can find out the source of Xiao Ran's power through this, and even seize Xiao Ran at the right time!
"Aren't you afraid that the white dragon's clone will enter your Dantian and take the opportunity to kill you?"
Hearing the sound of the Black Zither, Xiao Ran felt a huge weight lifted from his heart; his words had not been in vain.
However, he did not use this opportunity to locate Black Zither's position; a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.
"You lust after my body just as I lust after yours. At most, we're just using each other; there's no question of any life-or-death enmity between us."
Black Zither did not believe such an explanation.
Would you entrust your life to such speculation?
Xiao Ran simply confessed:
"I'm sorry, you can't kill me anywhere in my body. I only resorted to this because I was afraid you would harm my Master."
"What an enviable woman!"
Black Zither sighed, then changed the subject:
"Alright, I promise I'll give it a try, but there's no precedent for this in the entire Cultivation World. I wouldn't be surprised if you died because of it."
Xiao Ran smiled without saying a word and immediately began.
He first extended the jade python into the System Space, but only its roaring head was visible, allowing this head to open Space Channel that led directly to the center of his Qi Sea.
This was originally a very difficult task, but the Black Zither Space Magic was extremely powerful, and the Wraith Core Cyclone in Xiao Ran's Qi Sea could anchor him in a fixed direction.
So, a quarter of an hour later.
The jade python actually burrowed into Xiao Ran's Qi Sea.
There was no contact with the outside world throughout the entire process, leaving the jade python no room to escape.
Black Zither wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
His soul then entered Xiao Ran 'Qi Sea, and finally, the darkness before his eyes was gone.
The surrounding Spiritual Energy was extremely thin, probably only at the Qi Refining Cultivation Level, yet it was boundless and there was nowhere to escape.
It seemed spacious, yet there was a feeling of being completely enveloped and bound, especially when facing Xiao Ran's precise Resonance control, as if one's throat was being choked at all times.
In the center of the Qi Sea, there is a cyclone black hole formed by the aggregation of the Great Wraith Wraith Core.
The Wraith Core is Spirit Severing Realm, having fused with a portion of the power of the ancient dragon bone, radiating strands of golden light.
However, due to its age, the dragon bone's Spiritual Power is not as pure as that of the jade python.
What kind of physique is it that can simultaneously fuse two opposing forces, the power of the underworld and the power of the dragon?
While inside Xiao Ran's body, Black Zither was certain that he was neither Immortal Body nor a true dragon.
This only made Xiao Ran seem even more mysterious...
She couldn't even understand why this setup, which could only release the spiritual pressure of a split-level spirit at most, could suppress her spiritual pressure of a fusion-level spirit, thus forcibly taking the jade python into her spatial ring.
Until Xiao Ran's body trembled, creating a ripple in the Boundless Qi Sea.
The ripples amplified step by step, quickly reaching the jade python and Resonance instantly with its true form through the python's body.
After a momentary tremor in her soul, ripples entered the Black Zither's Qi Sea, instantly creating a tsunami and forcibly drawing upon her Spiritual Power.
"You--"
Black Zither's eyes widened, and she clutched her lower abdomen, manipulating the python's body to churn within Xiao Ran Qi Sea.
However, it was all in vain. No matter how hard she tried, she remained stuck in the mire, unable to exert her strength.
The boundless Qi Sea was so vast that she couldn't even touch the outer wall of her Dantian. No matter where she flew from, she would quickly return to her starting point.
"What are you doing?!"
Xiao Ran smiled and said:
"From this moment on, you are a part of my Dantian. Your Spiritual Pressure is my Spiritual Pressure, and even includes your true self."
Black Zither's legs trembled slightly, causing a ripple to spread across the pool of blood beneath her.
She understood:
"You despicable scoundrel, you actually extracted Lingzhou Yue's Spiritual Pressure to suppress me!"
"Weren't you just envious of my Master? Now that I'm giving you the treatment of Master, why are you scolding me again?"
"..."
Xiao Ran then said:
"Actually, I think you should feel quite comfortable with this kind of spiritual extraction. All you lose is Spiritual Power, but you gain rare pleasure in return."
"..."
Overwhelmed by the shock, Black Zither braced herself with one hand in the pool of blood.
She never imagined that as one of the Four Great Priests of the Apostle, having endured for many years and transformed into a Demonic Dragon, capable of overturning rivers and seas and swallowing the heavens and earth, she would be teased by a mere child in such a state...
Her delicate brows twitched slightly, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in her hate-filled eyes.
"You don't think I'm fighting alone, do you?"
[Primate: Gentleman, where are you?]
Seeing all the conversations in the Black Ring Group, Xiao Ran, to prevent his secret from being leaked, timely threatened, "What, you want to drag the rest of your companions down with you?"
[Gentleman: I'm back at the Holy Mountain. Is there anything else, Senior?]
Black Zither wanted to reveal Xiao Ran's secret, but after thinking about it, she ultimately gave up.
The revolution was not yet successful, and she had to continue to endure.
[Primate: It's nothing.]
At this moment, Yao, who had been interested in probing Xiao Ran about Primate, interrupted again.
[Rumor: What does the senior think?]
[Primate: What's the difference?]
[Rumor: Xiao Ran must have had a very exciting time, right?]
[Primate:...]
You're very knowledgeable, aren't you? It's just a rumor!
Xiao Ran then comforted him:
"Don't worry, I just want to use your power to do something I like. I don't care about your secrets or your plans with your companions. As long as it's not too outrageous, I won't stop you."
Black Zither sneered.
"You are too arrogant. Even without me, even if you and your master interfered, the others would have succeeded."
Xiao Ran smiled and encouraged him.
"Then good luck!"
Black Zither couldn't comment on the man before her.
When facing him, Black Zither always felt like she was stuck in a quagmire, unable to use her strength.
Being dependent on others and subject to their control, we cannot act rashly at the moment and can only wait for an opportunity to sever the connection.
She remained calm and composed.
But for some reason, she was also extremely curious and wanted to investigate Xiao Ran's identity within his Qi Sea, so she didn't want to sever the connection immediately.
This is a very complex emotion.
In fact.
Xiao Ran was also bluffing.
He was still a bit far from being able to control the Black Zither from a distance, but borrowing some Spiritual Power was easy for him.
He pretended to control her soul so that she would be more cautious for the time being and not expose his secret.
In reality, he didn't care that much about this little secret.
The system was his only secret.
After mentally dealing with Black Zither, Xiao Ran did not immediately touch his Master, but instead trained the Jade Python within his Qi Sea.
Control its body movements, draw out its Spiritual Power, and infuse the jade python with dark energy...
Ultimately, he made her completely submit to Xiao Ran, truly becoming a part of the Boundless Qi Sea.
After one night.
After a night of manipulating Spiritual Power and merging body and mind, Xiao Ran had almost completely taken control of the jade python.
His control over the Jade Serpent once surpassed that of the Black Zither, and he could even attempt spatial magic using the power of the Jade Serpent, though he was still not very proficient at it.
Early in the morning, Lingzhou Yue woke up on the massage bed and stretched. She was slightly pale, but her spirits were much better.
The first thing she did every morning was to drink a pot of wine. Seeing that Xiao Ran had passed away peacefully overnight, she suddenly felt displeased, and her beautiful face showed a hint of anger.
"That's strange. You've been practicing all night, trying to fool me with this massage bed. You haven't even touched your master. It seems that dragon is more charming than me."
Xiao Ran nodded, opened his eyes, and said truthfully:
"That is a divine beast whose Spiritual Power density is closest to that of a true dragon. I must be able to fully control it."
Lingzhou Yue sensed that Xiao Ran's aura was different, and she vaguely felt that his Cultivation Level had surpassed hers.
"So it wasn't a dragon after all... How did you manage to stuff such a thick snake inside your belly?"
Xiao Ran made no attempt to hide anything.
"This requires a high level of skill; brute force won't work."
Lingzhou Yue felt a sense of longing.
"I want you to teach me."
Are you the Master or am I the Master?
"This requires teaching by example, but first, we need to take good care of Master's health. Master's injury this time was quite serious, and I didn't bring enough pills. The pills are also too slow to work. I need to think of another way."
Just then, the shopkeeper's chubby little girl knocked on the door and came in, bringing tea and breakfast, and giving Xiao Ran a suggestion.
"We can catch some fish in the sea for your wife to eat; the seafood here is very nutritious."
Lingzhou Yue was taken aback.
"Lady?"
Xiao Ran smiled without explaining, and even considered giving the chubby girl a tip.
Okay, thank you.
After getting rid of the girl, Xiao Ran explained:
"The spiritual energy in this space is excellent. Perhaps catching some fish and shrimp in the sea would have a special effect."
Lingzhou Yue said, "Don't forget, we're here for our honeymoon. Catching fish is too tiring. Let's go fishing instead."
"Alright."
Xiao Ran immediately dressed and got out of the bath to begin preparations.
Half an hour later.
A small boat left the island shore.
The Sword Ship is too big; fishing feels much better in a small wooden boat.
Inside the small wooden boat were two wooden stools, a fishing rod, a wooden bucket, and a small wooden box containing earthworms.
Xiao Ran randomly chose a direction and did not use Spiritual Power to propel the boat forward; he simply rowed the oars casually.
The islands behind us gradually receded into the distance and soon disappeared from view, and we could no longer see any other islands around us.
The water and sky meet at the horizon, the sea stretches endlessly, without a breath of wind or a ripple.
There was no blue sky, only white clouds, vast and thin as smoke, hanging low overhead.
Above the clouds, light sources are everywhere, and occasionally, from a certain angle, a ray of golden sunlight can be seen.
The sea surface was as clear as a lake, the water was extremely clear and deep, but due to the lighting, it was not possible to see very deep.
From clear to indistinct, and finally to complete darkness.
The same applies to the sky and the sea.
It gives people a sense of ethereal dreaminess.
A small boat drifts on the horizon where water meets sky, as if it were at the center of the universe, opening its heart to the heavens and the abyss.
Lingzhou Yue sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, her figure blending seamlessly with the sky and water, creating an atmosphere that inspired awe and reverence.
Xiao Ran sat on a small stool with his legs spread apart, looking at the scene around him that resembled a Zen-like realm, his heart as still as water.
Like clear, transparent seawater, it is clear, but because it is so deep, you can't see the bottom at a glance.
"Are there really fish here?"
Lingzhou Yue questioned.
"It must be somewhere very deep inside."
Xiao Ran said.
I glanced at the fishing line; it was a very thin spider silk line, and not long enough, maybe three zhang long at most, which was far too short for such a deep water.
Lingzhou Yue took another sip of wine.
How can you fish in such deep water?
"Those who are willing will take the bait."
Xiao Ran smiled, opened the small wooden box next to him, inside were several red earthworms about the length of chopsticks, threaded the earthworms onto the fishing hook, threw the hook into the water, and casually held the fishing rod.
I fished for most of the hour and got nothing.
Then, on a sudden inspiration, he channeled the Spiritual Power of the jade python into the earthworms underwater, along the fishing rod and line.
Soon, a dark shadow appeared on the water...
The speed was extremely fast. Before Xiao Ran could react, the black shadow suddenly exerted its strength, leaped onto the shallow sea, and dragged the bait and fishing rod into the deep sea.
A Resonance Power traveled to the fishing rod, stunning the dark figure, which then surfaced and rolled over.
While fishing, Xiao Ran discovered that it was a three-foot-wide Immortal Chrysanthemum Stone that could spiral forward in the sea, emitting spreading ripples. It looked quite large.
The Immortal Chrysanthemum Stone is neither a chrysanthemum nor a stone; it is a very ancient invertebrate.
It is three feet long, with a spiral-shaped, disc-like shell on its back, and its protruding flesh is similar to that of a squid.
The question is, why are the seashells on the back of this Immortal Chrysanthemum Stone...?
Reverse spiral?
Generally speaking, the natural growth patterns or natural spirals of the True Spirit Continent are all positive spirals.
This is true for everything from snail shells to fingerprint spirals, from ocean hurricanes to the Qi Sea cyclones.
Theoretically speaking, only things that grow in the abyss can naturally develop... an inverted spiral! ————
