Qin Jishi raised his head toward the pool of endless darkness. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
"Spirit of Light, was the seal you mentioned above us?"
Over the past year, Qin Jishi had faced this pool every day.
Standing at the pool's edge, if one looked down, they would find the bottom within sight. Yet that was not the pool's true bottom at all.
When Qin Jishi entered the pool, his body passed through it with effortless ease.
To be honest!!
At first, he had found it extremely strange.
He had thought it was an illusion formation!!
But now, it seemed!
That was no illusion formation at all, but a barrier sealing the Spirit of Light.
As if Qin Jishi had guessed correctly, the Spirit of Light responded softly.
"That's right. That is indeed the seal placed upon me."
"Do you know?"
The Spirit of Light's voice carried helplessness. "As long as that barrier exists, I will never be able to leave this place. This is the place that binds me."
Although the Spirit of Light had no emotions, Qin Jishi could still hear the helplessness in its words.
Qin Jishi frowned, then narrowed his eyes.
"Spirit of Light, if you wish to leave, I don't think it needs to be this troublesome."
Qin Jishi paused before continuing.
"If I'm not mistaken, that barrier should have no effect on me at all. Otherwise, I couldn't possibly have appeared here."
"..."
"How about this? I can put you away, then release you after I leave. That way, you can be completely free."
The Spirit of Light was, after all, an elemental spirit born between heaven and earth. Qin Jishi wanted to help it not only because its attribute was the nemesis of all darkness.
