Your Padding's About to Fall Out

Life is unpredictable. Even this Black-Robed Figure, who seemed to be manipulating and controlling everything behind the scenes, could not have imagined that he would be proven wrong so quickly.

Although he said "It's still uncertain who will win" in a cool, cold, and ruthless manner, it seemed that even Heaven disapproved of his behavior, and Bai Qiuran immediately slapped him in the face.

Just now, he watched as Bai Qiuran walked through the third and fourth trials, namely the trials of "Suffering of Plague" and "Suffering of Death," as if taking a stroll.

In these two trials, the Suffering of Plague was originally meant to make people walk through a Plague Clouds that could weaken even Cultivators' physical resistance, causing their resistance to drop, contract various diseases, and experience the torment of illness.

But Bai Qiuran walked through it, it felt as if he were entering a fresh forest for a forest bath. When the Black-Robed Figure saw him walking within the Plague Clouds, he not only took deep breaths, but his complexion also seemed to become much more refreshed.

The most terrifying of the four trials, and the most likely to be life-threatening, is the Trial of Suffering of Death. In essence, it is created by the powerful Earth Immortal immortals who survived to the end of the era, who used their spatial Arts to open a secret Spatial Passage to the Underworld Ghost Realm, sending these people to the Underworld Hades for a short half-day trip.

Of course, entering the country without proper entry procedures is illegal. If these Cultivators sent to the Ghost Realm are discovered by the Underworld Emissary, they will definitely be kept there forever and suffer in Hell. Even if they don't encounter the Underworld Emissary, the Ghost Realm is full of all sorts of extremely dangerous miasma, monsters, Yao Mo, and ghosts.

After Bai Qiuran entered the Ghost Realm, he was in another realm, and the Black-Robed Figure could not see what he had experienced. However, judging from his appearance when he came out, it seemed that he had just gone to a friend's house, sat down, had a cup of tea, and chatted for a while.

This guy was even holding a souvenir made from the horn of some kind of creature unique to the Ghost Realm. When the Black-Robed Figure saw him return to the Cave Abode and come out of the Ghost Realm, he stuffed the souvenir into his Storage Bag as he walked.

Watching his retreating figure disappear into the mist once more, the Black-Robed Figure remained silent.

"How about it?"

The Skull, cast into the depths of darkness, sneered, "What did I tell you?"

The Black-Robed Figure composed himself, gave the Skull a sinister look, and then, as if speaking to the Skull or to himself, murmured, "There are still Four Great Sufferings to go... No rush, no rush."

Tang Ruowei sheathed the Kun Ling Sword, suppressed the surging True Essence within her body, and took a slight breath.

Since she began studying Surveying and Mapping and other techniques, she has been sitting in an office, and after a long time of not engaging in physical combat, she has actually reached the Great Perfection of the Virtual Core Realm after her recent outburst of anger, and is vaguely showing signs of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

If Bai Qiuran witnessed this, she might not even need to experience the emotions of Separation from Loved Ones Meeting with Those You Hate, or meeting with someone she hates; her mind would have become unstable. However, the structure of the Earth Immortal Cave Abode separated the master and disciple, preventing Bai Qiuran witnessing this precious moment, which is truly regrettable.

However, one cannot break through to the Golden Core stage in such a place, so Tang Ruowei suppressed her desire to break through and looked at the ground to the side.

Over there was a girl who looked exactly like her, but with an impressive bust and voluptuous figure. That was the image she Longing. Countless nights, she dreamed of becoming like that. But now, that girl had been turned into something that had to be censored by her own hands.

After glancing at it twice, Tang Ruowei suddenly felt nauseous. This was probably what Buddhism meant by "Pink-Skull Illusion." If she were to die one day due to bad luck, her physical body might also turn into such a terrifying form.

Fortunately, the Formation within the Cave Abode began to operate the next moment, breaking the Creation Body back into its most basic energy and reintroducing it into the Cave Abode's energy cycle, thus stopping the girl's boundless rambling thoughts.

Tang Ruowei walked down the steps on the other side of the Sky Platform. When she reached the bottom, a bridge appeared on its own, extending into the distance, at the edge of the Sky Platform that was suspended in the night sky. Tang Ruowei discovered that it connected to a place similar to this Sky Platform. From the other side of that platform, another bridge extended out, and at the end of the bridge was a mist floating in the night sky.

This should be the exit.

The girl then stepped onto the bridge and used it to reach another platform.

Instead of climbing the platform, she circled the corridor beneath it and headed towards another bridge.

As soon as she turned a corner, Tang Ruowei ran into an acquaintance.

Dressed in red and wielding Twin Sabers, Li Jinyao stood in the middle of the corridor. Blood was splattered on her face, and blood was still dripping from the blades. At her feet, there was something that should have been blurred out.

"Sister Li?"

Upon hearing Tang Ruowei's voice, Li Jinyao turned around, saw her, and then smiled.

"Junior Sister Ruowei, it's you! What a coincidence... By the way, the padding on your chest is about to fall out."

Tang Ruowei was startled and Consciousness checked her chest, only to find nothing amiss. When she looked up, she saw Li Jinyao with a knowing smile, and she seemed to relax as well.

"It seems it really is Junior Sister Ruowei."

She smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I touched a nerve, but this is the only way I can think of to verify your identity... On the way here, I encountered fellow disciples who tried to ambush me. It seems there are also the Souls of Earth Immortal in this Cave Abode, waiting for an opportunity to seize our bodies. I wonder how many disciples have fallen victim to it so far."

"What is Sister Li talking about? What's with all this talk about padding? Ruowei doesn't quite understand."

Tang Ruowei first changed the subject without batting an eye, then asked, "Has someone in this Cave Abode been Body Seizure?"

Li Jinyao nodded.

"That's why I said... Junior Sister Ruowei, should we act together? That way we can look out for each other."

Tang Ruowei glanced at the mosaic object on the ground that was slowly turning into specks of light and dissipating, and hesitated, "But if you put it that way... Sister Li, you tested me, but I haven't tested you with the Book of Questions..."

"Yes, if this can build mutual trust."

Li Jinyao nodded without fear and said, "Junior Sister Ruowei, please feel free to come."

"Then, what's this thing on the ground?"

Tang Ruowei pointed to the mosaic object that was half turned into light spots and asked.

"Him."

After looking at it, Li Jinyao sighed and said, "In this 'Unfulfilled Desire' situation, I met a man who met all my criteria for a partner. I thought I had finally found my Mr. Right, so I wanted to test him out to see if he was stronger than me and if he could protect me... Unfortunately, I seem to be too strong, so that man ended up like this on the ground."

"Okay, I understand. You are indeed Sister Li Jinyao."

Tang Ruowei shook her head, somewhat speechless.

Let's walk together from here on out.
