According to Fox Fairy Nannan, the first heaven of the Spiritual World should be filled with countless rare flowers and exotic grasses, with endless opportunities for creation. How could it look completely different from what Fox Fairy Nannan described at this moment?
It shouldn’t be like this!
Absolutely shouldn’t!
Zhang Chen was filled with questions, and in the next moment, his soul reached out. A rune flickered in his palm, and it instantly transformed into the shape of the Fox Spirit.
"Where is this?" As soon as the Fox Spirit appeared, it immediately sensed that something was wrong, especially the strange gale outside, which shook its divine soul as if it was a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
Fortunately, the Cyan Lotus above Zhang Chen’s head flickered, emanating waves of cyan light that blocked the black wind from outside, like a warm harbor securely sheltering the two of them.
"Isn’t this the first heaven of the Spiritual World you always long for, with immortal grasses everywhere and opportunities for creation at every turn?" Zhang Chen looked at Fox Fairy Nannan.
Fox Fairy Nannan was stunned by these words, disbelief written in her eyes: "Impossible! Didn’t the ancient texts record that the Spiritual World contains countless creations, with boundless mysteries within? How could it be like this?"
Through the black sandstorm, Fox Fairy Nannan could vaguely see the remnants of walls and ruins, involuntarily showing a hint of caution in her eyes.
Upon hearing Fox Fairy Nannan’s words, Zhang Chen immediately realized that Fox Fairy Nannan was also completely unaware of the Spiritual World. His plan to seek answers from her had fallen through.
The Spiritual World is an unknown realm to the real world, an unexplored domain.
Zhang Chen looked towards the Spiritual World, a hint of caution in his gaze: "What is that black sandstorm?"
Zhang Chen glanced at the Fox Spirit, who sensed Zhang Chen’s gaze and immediately felt a foreboding feeling: "Boy, what are you planning to do?"
Fox Fairy Nannan sensed something was wrong, quickly crossing her arms in front of her chest, watching him warily.
Zhang Chen’s lips curled into a strange smile, and in the next moment, the Fox Spirit felt its body lose control and exclaimed, "No, don’t! It could kill!"
Unfortunately, Fox Fairy Nannan’s words could not sway Zhang Chen’s decision.
Fox Fairy Nannan left the protection of the Cyan Lotus and broke into the black sandstorm. Then, her soul came into contact with the sandstorm and dissipated into the void like sand particles, being disintegrated by the black storm.
"What on earth? Fox Fairy Nannan’s soul has reached the eighth possession stage and couldn’t withstand the sandstorm for even a breath? Isn’t this too exaggerated?" Zhang Chen was startled, disbelief written in his eyes.
Luckily, Fox Fairy Nannan had become one of Zhang Chen’s skills, making her an immortal existence. Zhang Chen could summon Fox Fairy Nannan anytime. He was not afraid of the Fox Spirit dying, leaving him short on cash in the future.
"How could this be? How could this happen?" Zhang Chen looked at the void before him, a look of shock in his eyes, filled with incomprehension.
If even Fox Fairy Nannan’s soul could be blown away by the sandstorm, then if someone’s soul accidentally wandered in, they would undoubtedly face total destruction.
Zhang Chen looked up at the Cyan Lotus floating above his head, with mysterious and unpredictable chaotic airflow swirling outside the cyan bud. Inside, magical power flowed like lamp oil, gradually consuming bit by bit.
"In one hour, the magical power inside the bud will be exhausted, and the Cyan Lotus will lose its protective power." Zhang Chen watched the magical power being consumed inside the bud, feeling a strange sense of foreboding, like an instinctive knowledge.
"What exactly is this Cyan Lotus that possesses such profound effects within the Spiritual World?" Zhang Chen was curious, yet his limited understanding of Qi Cultivators left him clueless about the Cyan Lotus’s origins.
"I wonder if that Fox Spirit was injured after being obliterated by the black wind." Zhang Chen pondered and then summoned the Fox Spirit’s soul once more.
"Damn two-legged beast, you’re becoming more and more excessive!" Fox Fairy Nannan appeared before Zhang Chen, complaining dissatisfiedly.
"What’s the feeling?" Zhang Chen inquired of the Fox Spirit.
"That black wind is the nemesis of the soul. I have no resistance against it. I couldn’t even react before being blown away like a sandstorm." Fox Fairy Nannan said helplessly.
Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this, then said to Fox Fairy Nannan: "What do you think is the use of the Spiritual World?"
Fox Fairy Nannan shook her head. The Spiritual World was too mysterious, and it was her first time entering it, so how could she know more than Zhang Chen?
Moreover, even the ancient tombs of Divine Demons excavated outside contained very few texts about the Spiritual World.
Seeing the Fox Spirit unable to provide any answers, Zhang Chen directly transformed her into a rune and stored her away. This was the mysterious and unpredictable Spiritual World, and he couldn’t let the Fox Spirit gain any advantages. If she saw through any secrets, he would suffer great losses.
Zhang Chen looked at the broken ruins beneath his feet and picked up a shattered jade brick. Once the jade brick was in his hand, it twisted and transformed into a broken rune.
The rune was similar to those recorded in books once perused by the Ancient Divine People Zhang Chen had seen, but its specific lines and contents were completely different. However, this rune was only half-complete and had lost any value for observation and enlightenment.
