Chapter 103: The Giant's Lantern

The Giant's Lantern

The moment the giant hand reached in, the bodies of all the cultivators present who had entered Hengze Heaven trembled. Even though they were still in a state of stillness, many had blood seeping from their ears and noses. Ruan Ci also felt that the field of imposing auras above the large net was suddenly in chaos, as if certain constant rules between heaven and earth had been stirred into chaos by this hand, making the space extremely unstable. There was also an extremely dangerous pulse brewing. Her heart shook slightly: "Does the intersection of virtual and real trigger a violent spiritual tide? Could this pulse be the origin of the space storm?"

The strength of this giant hand might be a line higher than the Cave Heaven cultivators, but with all the cultivators here, it was not without the strength to fight. True Person Wang tapped the Wind and Wave Calming Chime, and with a soft "dang" sound, the chaotic space above the large net was suddenly calmed. It seemed that an extremely gentle yet irresistible great force smoothed out the chaotic space one by one. When this Wind and Wave Calming Chime was tapped by True Person Wang, even if it was a phantom, it brought the great trend of "calming" and "settling." In Ruan Ci’s sensing, it was much more effective than when Chen Jun tapped it in South Zhuzhou.

The great trend sought peace, and all the forces in the field that should not belong to the real-number space and had only sneaked in by chaotic rules seemed to appear decayed and decadent because of this chime. The pleasant female voice also said at the right time, "Envoy, you guard the virtual numbers and rashly harvest the spirits of the real numbers. I am afraid it will cause unexpected changes. The intersection of virtual and real is likely to shake the Dao Rhyme barrier. Is the Envoy doing this intentionally?"

The Envoy’s consciousness didn't seem very clear, or perhaps the communication between virtual and real was always full of obstacles. He tilted his head to listen to the woman’s words, but it was as if he hadn't heard them at all. Since the Wind and Wave Calming Chime temporarily suppressed his momentum, he leaned back, and the eye disappeared for a period of time. Another giant hand also reached into the hole, pulling to both sides, seemingly wanting to expand the thick blackness again so that he could stick his head in and release more power.

At this time, the thick black window in the sky was almost occupied by two giant hands. The eye was only in the distance behind the two hands, and the eyeball was as small as a round ball like the sun and moon, turning sneakily. This scene made people feel a bit nauseous when they saw it. But True Person Wang held the Wind and Wave Calming Chime and did not make a move. In the distance, someone shouted sharply, and a thin veil flew toward the window, seemingly wanting to cover the window. But although it clearly reached the edge of the sky, it seemed to be in a different space from the hands and could not cover the hands' movements. The Envoy was still tearing at something in the void that was unknown. Although he hadn't succeeded for the time being, a sound of tearing silk had vaguely sounded in the sky. Clearly, if he continued to tear, I am afraid something bad would happen.

Just at this time, a light sigh suddenly came from the edge of the sky, but it seemed to be in everyone’s ears. Ruan Ci hurriedly used her spiritual sense instead of her eyes, turned her thoughts to look. She was very careful, only daring to look at the appearance from afar, but not daring to observe this person in the field of imposing auras, so as not to be injured in return.

True Person Wang and other Cave Heaven spiritual energy incarnations also turned their heads to look, nodding to indicate. I saw a black-clad woman in the distance walking gracefully from the mountains and seas. Her figure was so huge that it was not much different from the Envoy, filling the space between heaven and earth. When she first appeared, she was still in the far distance, but her appearance was already clearly visible, just like a perfect sculpture. Although she was extremely huge, her eyebrows were distinct, but she was so exquisite that she couldn't pick out a single flaw. She was carrying a lantern in her hand. With one step, she seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, walking straight from the edge of the sky to the top of the mountains in the distance of the Treasure Cloud Sea.

The Envoy’s eyeball turned crazily again, and in the field of imposing auras, he said hoarsely, his tone extremely peaceful, and it could even be said to be emotionless, completely contrary to the crazy performance of that eye, "Qingshan... you... again... ruined... my... good... deed..."

Qingshan raised the lantern in her hand and blew into it. An extremely dazzling spiritual light sprayed out from the lantern, as if the sun that had been covered by the thick blackness had been harvested by her and placed in the lantern. The spiritual light reached the thick black sky in an instant, and by coincidence, it shot straight at the black pupil. It was as if the pupil happened to turn to the position where the spiritual light shot. The Envoy let out another miserable howl, and a pair of hands suddenly shrank back from the edge of the empty hole. The eyeball also kept moving away and becoming smaller, as if a person was falling from outside the sky, and soon the white eyeball could no longer be seen.

From beginning to end, Qingshan stood in place, looking at the Envoy’s defeat with extreme indifference. The True Persons also maintained the posture of looking up at the sky without moving. The spiritual light in the lantern shone on the thick blackness, and the blackness constantly melted away. Finally, only a very small black dot remained in the sky, just like a needle eye, piercing the skin, still leaving a small wound, too late to recover. But one could feel the surrounding rules constantly surging, wanting to make up for the black dot. It was just that it probably didn't overcome the piercing intent attached to the black dot, and it didn't succeed immediately.

The spiritual light of the lantern gradually dimmed. True Person Qingshan stood on the mountain top, like the candle-holding fairy often seen in murals, her beauty was silent. But Ruan Ci could sense that her eyes and the eyes of the True Persons were all condensed on the black dot. She was also curious in her heart, and seeing that True Person Wang didn't stop her, she also used her spiritual sense to probe into the hole.

As soon as the spiritual sense approached the needle eye, it seemed to cross into a passage that would never end. With her intention to move forward, it began to consume crazily. Ruan Ci’s spiritual sense was definitely superior in the Foundation Establishment stage, but after a while, she felt that her spiritual sense was about to be exhausted. She thought this was because her level was not enough to dive out of the Zhou Tian, and she was about to give up with regret, when she suddenly felt a familiar spiritual sense waiting in front of the passage. Ruan Ci gathered her last bit of strength, flew to the side of that spiritual sense, and touched it slightly. In a trance, she seemed to see True Person Wang sitting cross-legged in the cave dwelling, and a slight joy of reunion surged in her heart. The spiritual sense did not respond, but wrapped her up, and in an instant, she flew out of the passage and crossed into a boundless void.

Ruan Ci had returned to the scene of Qing Jun creating the world countless times when refining the Donghua Sword. At this time, standing in the void of the universe, her spiritual sense spread to the surroundings, all of which were boundless nothingness. But in the far distance above, below, left, and right, there were infinite brilliant stars, slowly moving along mysterious trajectories in the far distance. Although the distance between them was very far, in the universe, there was nothing else, and the spiritual light shone through. Even in the infinite distance, there was starlight projection, turning and moving. But it was subtly and tangibly different from the feeling of looking up at the starry sky within Langhuan Zhou Tian.

Looking back at Langhuan Zhou Tian, I saw that this extremely vast Zhou Tian was nothing more than a giant ball emitting fluorescent light in the void, with two layers of thin films flashing with spiritual light outside the ball. Ruan Ci measured it secretly, knowing that if she stuck to the thin film and peeked inside, the projection of that eye in the sky would probably be as large as the Envoy. She knew that they probably used the passage left by the Envoy to escape, which was why she had this change in her sensing. If it were like Xie Yanhuan, who shattered the barrier herself and escaped in her true body, looking back at Langhuan Zhou Tian might be another scene.

More than a dozen figures stood silently in the air, all looking at the stars of the Zhou Tian. I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be just a very short moment, Ruan Ci’s heart had ominous warnings, knowing that the passage was probably about to close, and couldn't help but feel a bit urgent. True Person Wang was still unhurried. Just when the passage was about to close completely, leaving only a tiny gap that could not be seen, he was like lightning, carrying Ruan Ci and crossing the last gap in the blink of an eye, returning to their two bodies narrowly.

After him, more than a dozen spiritual lights also condensed again, all looking at True Person Qingshan. True Person Qingshan slowly opened her eyes, those eyes like deep pools and large lakes, staring at the people like dust on the Treasure Cloud Sea. Her red lips opened slightly, as if she was about to speak. She took a slight breath, and the figures of everyone on the cloud head shook. Some Foundation Establishment disciples were blown to roll on the auspicious clouds, and Ruan Ci was also blown to sway, increasing her nausea: she had just used up her spiritual sense to cross the needle eye, and could not reflect the Jade Pool. The spiritual power in the Jade Pool overflowed everywhere like water. If her body didn't seem to have been tempered in the Treasure Cloud Sea and had other changes, the overflowing spiritual power would have shaken her meridians and caused her some minor injuries.

True Person Qingshan seemed to sigh. A wind force a thousand times stronger than before blew out from her mouth, which was like a mountain cave. Everyone on the Treasure Cloud Sea was blown into the air. True Person Wang’s spiritual energy incarnation flashed and disappeared in the air, but Lu Huangning seemed to have received instructions, wrapped all the disciples together, and hurriedly escaped forward along the wind force of True Person Qingshan in the high altitude.

Ruan Ci looked down in the air, only to see the endless auspicious clouds of the Treasure Cloud Sea being blown away by True Person Qingshan. The sea of spiritual energy was already in the tide, and being blown like this, it stirred up invisible giant waves. True Person Qingshan stood on the mountain top, looking down, seemingly carefully checking the changes in the sea of spiritual energy. There were several figures beside her who were not blown away. Ruan Ci wanted to see more clearly, but Lu Huangning escaped very fast. She only saw this one glance, and she lost her sensing.

She wanted to see Lu Huangning’s escape route again, to see if she could see the monsters in the Fengfu River, or see Huang Shoushan. But Lu Huangning’s escape light was high and fast, and Ruan Ci’s spiritual sense was just nourished a little after being exhausted, and she was really tired in her heart. At this time, she was under the wings of the sect, and she didn't need to worry about her own safety, so she gradually relaxed and fell asleep slowly.

Before falling asleep, she was still thinking about Wang Panpan: "It promised to wait for me outside Hengze Heaven, but such changes occurred as soon as I came out. I don't know where it is hiding now, whether it is scared and running around, and whether it has been seen by Master. The True Persons don't allow Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan to watch the confrontation with the Envoy, there must be a reason. Panpan is only at the Jin Dan cultivation level, and Master is so stingy, will he protect it... The master is not here, and my cultivation is low, Panpan is really a poor little cat..."

After coming out of Hengze Heaven, variables arose, and Ruan Ci still couldn't act independently until this time, but she was truly thinking about Wang Panpan. She didn't sleep peacefully this time, as if influenced by her thoughts before sleep, she heard many cat calls in her dream, and Lu Huangning’s vague words. I don't know how long she slept, but she opened her eyes, sat up, and almost threw Wang Panpan, who was standing on her chest, down.

"You're awake!"

Wang Panpan stretched out its claws, hanging on the quilt on Ruan Ci’s chest, so it didn't get thrown out. It slid slowly from Ruan Ci’s body, dragging the quilt and making it fuzzy. Its cat face was looking up, sniffing around on Ruan Ci’s face, as if checking her safety. "You slept for a long time. That deer came to see you several times."

Speaking of Tianlu, she was quite disgusted, sniffed Ruan Ci again, licked Ruan Ci’s cheek with its tongue, and said somewhat puzzled, "Why has your smell changed... Ah, that silly deer is here again."

As it said, it jumped off the bed and ran out in three jumps. It bumped the door open, and sure enough, not long after, Tianlu rushed in from the door, ran to Ruan Ci’s bed, and then raised its hand and braked hard, throwing itself on Ruan Ci’s knees, pleasantly surprised, "Miss Ci, you're finally awake!"

It also said, "True Person said, call you to see him when you wake up."
