When Ding Huanchao woke up, he found Wen Zhixi cultivating, and a faint sense of crisis came. Ding Huanchao discovered that his immortal energy was almost gone, and his spiritual consciousness could only extend to about a yard.
Ding Huan's intuition told him that someone was approaching.
He immediately put away the iron pot, then glanced at the inferior spiritual pulse next to him, silently thinking that Wen Zhixi was too careless.
Practicing cultivation of spiritual pulse, how can there be a way to implant it like this?
He made efforts to sketch a few transfer pattern lines, absorbing the spiritual pulse next to him.
After taking away the spiritual pulse and the iron pot, Ding Huan felt a wave of dizziness. He could only manage to call out, "Zhixi..."
The truth was that Ding Huan's voice was too small, and Wen Zhixi did not sense it.
Ding Huan stopped cultivating, and Wen Zhixi's enlightenment of the Dao of Heaven and Earth instantly became blurred.
It was only after Ding Huan removed the spiritual pulse that she couldn't absorb any spiritual Qi anymore, and then she opened her eyes.
When she found that Ding Huan had woken up, she exclaimed joyfully, "Brother Ding, have you woken up?"
"Be careful, someone is approaching..." Ding Huan only managed to utter these words before fainting again.
Someone is coming?
Wen Zhixi's spiritual consciousness swept out, and he discovered that a man and a woman had walked over from afar.
The man had no hair, a pale face, and squinted eyes. The woman's appearance was quite nice, but there was an air of ruthlessness in her brows and eyes.
The two people looked somewhat like Ji Mǐ. They held attacking magical treasures in their hands and approached her cultivation place with a vigilant expression.
Wen Zhixi was astonished. It was noteworthy that there were also people who could safely arrive at this place.
No wonder Ding Huan had to remove the spiritual pulse; from the appearance of these two, it seems they have sinister intentions.
What puzzled her was that Ding Huan's arranged killer array patterns had not been triggered. She immediately understood the situation.
The trapped killer array patterns that Ding Huan arranged require the spiritual source of the inferior spiritual pulse. Since Ding Huan has taken away the spiritual pulse, the trapped killer array patterns naturally cannot be triggered.
She casually walked out of the cultivation cave: "Two fellow cultivators."
Among the two of them, the man is an intermediate Azure Immortal, and the woman should be a late-stage Golden Immortal. Wen Zhixi isn't particularly concerned.
After Ding Huan stripped away the mottled Dao energy in her body, her strength soared. She recently trained with Ding Huan and reached the mid-stage Azure Immortal again.
Fellow cultivator, is it you who killed Master Xianze?" The man widened his eyes upon seeing that the one who came out was an extremely beautiful woman.
"You two are...?" Wen Zhixi felt that her guess seemed to be incorrect. These two people didn't seem to be the ones who just arrived here.
The female cultivator quickly said, "Senior sister, my name is Fu Shuangping. This is my elder brother Ku Tingyi."
We have entered the billion-yuan void swamp for hundreds of years. Before we reached the swamp, we were caught by Master Xianze and imprisoned.
Recently, because our cave's restrictions automatically underwent a transformation, we were able to escape.
Wen Zhixi suddenly understood. So it turned out that after she and Ding Huan killed Xianze Ren Shou and withdrew the spiritual pulse, the confinement array that imprisoned these two people lost Xianze's control of their spirit consciousness and had no spiritual source, which was why it had undergone transformation.
So, in a way, it was she and Ding Huan who had saved these two people.
As Wen Zhixi was about to speak, Ding Huan woke up again.
Seeing Ding Huan wake up, Wen Zhixi hurriedly went up to support Ding Huan.
Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi standing outside could also see the scene inside the stone house clearly. Ding Huan looked weak, as if his life was nearing its end.
"Zhixi, is the senior who killed Xianze Ren Beasts still there?" Ding Huan struggled to say one sentence before he couldn't continue.
At this moment, it was already good that Ding Huan could remain conscious.
Although Ding Huan's voice was very low, Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping outside could hear it clearly. They then understood that someone had killed the Xianze beastman, which was why they were saved.
Upon hearing that it wasn't Wen Zhixi who had killed the Xianze beastman, Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior sister, would you like us to help?" Fu Shuangping asked again.
Wen Zhixi walked out again, speaking calmly, "Thank you, fellow cultivators. My brother and I don't need your help. Please go ahead."
Ku Tingyi's gaze fell on Wen Zhixi's face, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "How can there be such a beautiful woman?"
He couldn't miss such a woman even in the billion-yuan void swamp, let alone on the celestial land.
He took a deep breath and bowed, "This young sister, why don't we go together? The billion-yuan void swamp is not simple. It's very dangerous to walk here alone."
Wen Zhixi hesitated for a moment, but then heard Ding Huan say, "Zhixi, let's go with them. It's safer that way."
Wen Zhixi was startled. What did Ding Huan mean by that?
She was not afraid of these two people, but Ding Huan himself had been poisoned by the terrifying poison arrow of the Voidless Poisonous Wood, and it was obvious that going with them would be very dangerous.
Wen Zhixi immediately realized that since she had known Ding Huan, he had always been very cautious and never made bad decisions.
Previously, Ding Huan had mentioned that Xianze Ren Shou was killed by a powerful warrior, probably to ensure that the other party would not leave them behind.
Upon realizing this, she smiled and said, "Alright, since you two have invited us, my brother and I will follow you. Please wait a moment."
Wen Zhixi walked into the stone house and looked at Ding Huan and said, "Brother Ding, let me carry you."
Ding Huan apologized and smiled, "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for you."
It's not that he insists on following these two men and women.
Because he had just calculated, there was a high probability that these two men and women had a way to pass through the billion-yuan void swamp.
If they miss these two people, even if he and Wen Zhixi can walk out of the billion-yuan void swamp, they wouldn't know how to reach the place where the memory of Yun Hao's memorial was.
Lying on Wen Zhixi's back, a faint fragrance came, and even though his immortal energy was restricted and his consciousness sea was still being corroded, it still made Ding Huan find it hard to control himself.
Feeling Ding Huan's body temperature rise, Wen Zhixi's face faintly reddened, but she quickly regained her composure.
She had experienced quite a few things with Ding Huan, and there was nothing embarrassing about it. She quickly walked out of the stone cave with Ding Huan on her back.
"Where did the elder who killed Xianze Ren Shou go?" Ku Tingyi couldn't help but ask.
Without waiting for Wen Zhixi to answer, Ding Huan sighed, "The Xianze Ren Shou was extremely cunning. When it saw that it couldn't defeat the other elder, it took away a giant stone and fled with it."
That elder naturally wouldn't let it go, so he also chased after it. Me and Zhixi have been waiting here for half a year, but we haven't seen the elder come back. I guess he won't be back anymore.
"Did that elder take away anything else?" Ku Tingyi quickly asked again.
Wen Zhixi answered, "There is also a spiritual pulse here, which the elder took away as well."
Upon hearing that the spiritual pulse had indeed been taken away, the disappointment in Ku Tingyi's eyes couldn't be concealed.
But Ding Huan spoke up in time, "That elder gave us several hundred thousand spiritual crystals before leaving, saying for us to cultivate well."
He couldn't let these two people leave quietly, so he made them feel some longing.
If it hadn't been for Wen Zhixi saying that the spiritual pulse had been taken away, Ding Huan would have definitely said that the spiritual pulse was with him.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ding Huan say they had several hundred thousand spiritual crystals, Ku Tingyi's eyes lit up again.
"Brother, I don't know how to address you and this senior sister." Feng Shuangping looked at Ding Huan with her gentle eyes and spoke with a hint of coquettishness.
Without waiting for Ding Huan to speak, Wen Zhixi smiled and said, "I'm Wen Zhixi. This is Brother Ding Huan."
"Are you two also from the Qizhi Continent?" Feng Shuangping asked with a smiling expression.
Wen Zhixi shook her head, "No, we come from the fifth cultivation domain."
Ding Huan's eyes, however, narrowed slightly. He had heard of the twisted path from Feng Shuangping.
The Qizhi Continent is not a cultivation domain but a common realm for cultivators.
It was during his previous life when he was on the Changye Continent that he heard about a true cultivation realm. The realm had abundant heaven and earth vitality and perfect laws of the universe.
That's all I know.
Ordinary people should never even think about going to the Qizhi Continent; it's as unrealistic as a dream.
At that time, it was just a legend in their eyes, and no one took it seriously. In fact, he himself didn't believe it at all. But he never expected that this continent would actually exist.
"Fu Dao Friend, is the Qizhi Continent far from here?" Ding Huan asked.
Just as Fu Shuangping was about to speak, a ball of blackness appeared in the sight of everyone. "It's a level one immortal fiend... Run quickly..." Ku Tingyi's expression also changed.
Among the countless swamps in this area, immortal beasts are one of the most terrifying things.
The worse one is the immortal bug that's below level one. It can't fly, which is better.
Once one's cultivation reaches the level of a first-grade immortal fiend, they will grow wings.
Immortal beasts with wings can move very quickly in the sky above this swamp.
They can avoid spatial distortions by sensing their surroundings, and they can encircle cultivators in the shortest possible time.
Once cultivators are surrounded by the countless immortal bugs within, it's usually a dead end.
It's terrifying to imagine how dangerous it is when so many immortal beasts swarm together.
Don't even talk about bloodsucking. All your belongings will be devoured clean, and it's the most repulsive way to die.
"Zhixi, just follow these two people," said Ding Huan.
Wen Zhixi knows that Ding Huan wants to follow these two people, and he intentionally leaks that he has good things on him, which is definitely intentional.
Without Ding Huan's reminder, she also followed closely behind Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping.
It must be said that these two people are extremely experienced here. They took several turns and quickly left a group of immortal bugs behind.
"Wen Dao Friend, you have excellent agility." Ku Tingyi saw Wen Zhixi carrying Ding Huan and following them so easily, and couldn't help but praise.
As he spoke, he was thinking about how to get Wen Zhixi's escape technique.
Wen Zhixi smiled slightly, "Brother Ku and Brother Fu, your methods are also quite good. I had to give it my all just to keep up with you, and almost ended up being surrounded by the immortal bugs."
Ku Tingyi couldn't tell if Wen Zhixi was making fun of them. However, when they were running away, he had indeed tried to lead Wen Zhixi into the swarm of immortal bugs.
He failed because Wen Zhixi followed them too closely.
"Wen Dao Friend, according to our experience, after the immortal bugs are deployed, there will be a swamp tide. That is very dangerous, and we must turn back and flee in the direction of where the immortal bugs have gone." Ku Tingyi's expression turned serious.
Wen Zhixi was startled. Are they supposed to go back and chase those immortal bugs? They just escaped from the swarm of immortal bugs.
So, back again?
