Chu Lingwei looked at Wuming with a complicated gaze. Seriously injured, yet able to effortlessly slay the high-tier spirit beast Azure Dragon within the Illusory Array, such power meant she didn't need to help him at all.
"It should be one of the eye formations within these myriad illusion arrays."
Wuming turned around. The place they were in seemed to have changed. This was now the center of the Spiritual Domain.
Chu Lingwei looked around. Everything here felt as if under a restriction. Even the surrounding flowers and grass were identical.
"The illusion array here is too powerful." The platform Chu Lingwei had been lying on was gone. She could feel herself truly standing on solid ground, feeling the vibrations of the earth.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Wuming looked at the restriction in front of him, his eyes cold. If it weren't for the blood still seeping from his chest, Chu Lingwei would have believed all of this was real. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"We must find a way to stop your bleeding."
Chu Lingwei didn't know when they could leave this place. If Wuming didn't stop the bleeding, he would truly die from excessive blood loss.
"If we can't get out, the bleeding will never stop." Wuming paid no attention to the wound on his chest, as if the blood wasn't flowing from him.
"It's still alive." Chu Lingwei felt something moving ceaselessly at her feet. She looked down and saw the little Azure Dragon, its eyes filled with a plea for help.
Logically, the illusion array that had just disappeared should have taken its eye formation with it. Yet, this Azure Dragon had not died.
Furthermore, it was full of spiritual energy and knew to beg for help.
"It has stayed in the illusion array for a thousand years and its physical body has long since been tempered. It can live for a while longer." Wuming glanced at the Azure Dragon, causing it to tremble violently and lie motionless on the ground.
"Let's go. I want to go in and see if what I want is inside."
As Wuming spoke, he strode away from the platform they had been standing on and approached the restriction.
"This is another illusion array, it has no killing intent."
Chu Lingwei nodded. "What about this Azure Dragon?"
An eye formation that had cultivated for a thousand years, now completely devoid of spiritual energy, was clearly at its end.
"Let it fend for itself." Wuming closed his eyes, his hands moving rapidly through hand seals. Ten thousand rays of golden light erupted, striking the restriction.
Upon hearing Wuming's words, the Azure Dragon's body seemed to stiffen for a moment. Its instinct for survival made it lift its head, staring pitifully at Chu Lingwei, as if to say, "Save me, save me."
"You are the eye formation, you should know how to escape from here." Chu Lingwei was not a soft-hearted person. Looking at the Azure Dragon on the ground, she suddenly realized that since it was the eye formation of this place, it must be very familiar with it.
It should know better than anyone else where to leave.
Disappointment flickered in the Azure Dragon's eyes. Its entire serpentine body slumped to the ground, motionless.
Chu Lingwei approached the restriction and felt it slightly loosen. Suddenly, several enraged spiritual energies rushed from afar.
There were spirit beasts here.
Chu Lingwei glanced at Wuming, who was continuously breaking through the array. It seemed she had to intercept the spirit beasts rushing towards them.
As soon as she summoned her purple bell, five high-tier spirit beasts charged at Chu Lingwei.
Chu Lingwei gasped. These spirit beasts were likely real. The rage in their eyes was the same as what she had seen earlier, and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
Fight!
Wuming was unfazed by the arrival of these spirit beasts. He channeled his spiritual energy through the purple bell, deflecting the spiritual energy the spirit beasts launched at him. He gripped his Ice Jade Frost Sword and charged at the closest seventh-tier spirit pig.
For a moment, spiritual light flashed, and the spiritual energy of these spirit beasts was blocked by the purple bell, giving Chu Lingwei the strength to fight them.
Mystic Heaven Burning Fire.
Chu Lingwei continuously unleashed her most powerful moves, striving for a single strike to defeat them.
Wuming opened his eyes and watched Chu Lingwei, who was not at a disadvantage when facing these spirit beasts, a smile on his face.
With a wave of his hand, all these spirit beasts were sent flying.
Chu Lingwei: "..."
"Fellow Daoist Wuming, you could have easily sent these spirit beasts flying with one move. Why did you bring me here?" Chu Lingwei panted, swallowed a few pills, and watched her wounds slowly heal before standing up.
He was so capable, yet he watched her fight these spirit beasts... truly...
"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's make progress quickly. I can't hold on for much longer."
Wuming didn't answer Chu Lingwei. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the restriction.
"Is this place the same as the area above?" They were now in the center of the Spiritual Domain. Even if it was the same as above, it was still within the Illusory Array.
Regardless of whether this was the Illusory Array or not, nothing here could be real.
"The same."
Wuming looked at the endless abyss before him, his gaze darkening. Staring into the unfathomable abyss, a smile touched his lips.
He had finally returned here again. It had been so long.
"What is your real name?"
Chu Lingwei looked at Wuming. Everything about this person was so strange.
"Wait here. I'll go down and take a look." Wuming didn't answer Chu Lingwei. He leaped into the endless abyss.
Chu Lingwei: "..." So infuriating.
"What exactly is this place?"
Wuming brought Chu Lingwei into the restriction. The restriction immediately sealed itself, and she was now inside it.
The spirit beasts outside had long since disappeared. Inside the restriction, there was only this endless abyss.
Chu Lingwei stood at the edge of the abyss and looked down. A soul-stirring darkness shocked her. She had a feeling that if she stared into the abyss any longer, she would be controlled by it.
Such a powerful place, yet Wuming could easily jump into it. Such ability was incomparable to the cultivators who had entered the cave with her.
They were simply not on the same level.
Who was this person?
His identity was something Chu Lingwei had always suspected.
"If you jump down, you will die."
At this moment, a young voice, very weak, entered Chu Lingwei's mind.
"How did you get in?" Chu Lingwei turned her head and saw the Azure Dragon beside her. It seemed to have lost all its strength. Its entire body had shrunk significantly, becoming much smaller.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would soon disappear.
"I followed you in." The Azure Dragon tried to lift its small head several times but failed. It could only lie weakly on the ground. "Can you save me? I can tell you everything you want to know."
"You are in this state, and no one can save you." Chu Lingwei shook her head. It was just an array formation, how could it know anything about the Spiritual Domain?
The Azure Dragon began to cry softly. It truly didn't want to die.
