Mo Qi Qi had no idea what had happened to him.
All he knew was that Lin Ke had disappeared after entering the Abyss.
When he tried to chase after him again, he felt a powerful wave of dizziness.
And when he regained consciousness, he was already standing on a reef rock in a sea of molten rock.
He immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Heaven has not forsaken me, Mo Qi Qi!"
"I truly am the chosen one."
"Once I successfully break through this bottleneck to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, who in the Cloud Dragon Secret Realm will still be able to stand against me?"
Without another word, he tried to activate the Dragon Pearl inside him, only to discover that it had vanished.
In its place was a smooth stone sphere, precisely what Lin Ke had fashioned from magma using the World-Altering Method.
Mo Qi Qi had never considered that an ant like Lin Ke could steal the Dragon Pearl after it had acknowledged him as its master, so he merely thought that the Dragon Pearl had expended too much Spirit Power saving him and had thus taken on this appearance.
"Survive a great calamity, and blessings are sure to follow. Once I leave this sea of magma, I'll find a peerless treasure ground."
"Once I break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, I'll replenish your Spiritual Qi."
Meanwhile, several meters beneath his feet in the Sea of Molten Rock, Lin Ke had taken a Breath-Concealing Pill and activated the Purple Little Sphere to keep the molten rock at bay.
He quietly followed Mo Qi Qi.
Several days later, Lin Ke and Mo Qi Qi approached the edge of the Sea of Molten Rock, and the outline of the Illusory Heart Forest had already come into view.
