Chapter 615: Strange Wormhole |
Next, he didn't make any new discoveries here, so he walked out.
From a distance, he could see that Pill Spirit had already completely looted this place.
"Master!"
Pill Spirit also saw Ning Qi come out and flew over quickly.
"So, any other findings?"
Seeing him approach, Ning Qi asked with a smile.
"None. This place has already been thoroughly searched by us."
Pill Spirit shook his head and pointed toward the Mountain Gate. "We can withdraw."
"Alright."
After the two left this place, they met up with Shi Xiaokun outside.
Only after they reunited did they finally leave this area.
"Master, I saw that after the mechanisms here were destroyed,"
"their people have been moving around here as if entering an unguarded territory."
Pill Spirit said to Ning Qi, "This place is almost completely looted by them."
"Hmm, that's indeed the case. However, they haven't come to our side yet."
"Then, let's take the opportunity to sweep through and see what other good things are here."
Ning Qi nodded, shifting his gaze forward.
He had currently searched less than half of this area; there were still many more sections he hadn't explored.
So, before they arrive, he must definitely search the remaining areas once over.
Although they were in a cooperative relationship, for Ning Qi, no person or faction was as important as his own True Martial Spirit Realm.
"Master, how do you plan to search? It seems a bit too late."
Pill Spirit looked back and then followed up.
"Utilize my Golden Immortal strength to investigate thoroughly."
Ning Qi glanced ahead and then continued speaking.
"Ah, wouldn't that expose us?"
Hearing this, Pill Spirit couldn't help but say.
"It's fine. I'll use Immortal Power to test. Even if they detect it, they won't think it's me."
Ning Qi smiled, clearly having already made preparations.
"Good!"
Hearing this, Pill Spirit immediately felt relieved.
Ning Qi took a deep breath and then directly mobilized his Immortal Power.
A sharp surge of Immortal Power spread out following the movement of his Spiritual Sense,
immediately probing forward.
"Hoo."
His Spiritual Sense ignored the restrictions of the Law Force here, directly piercing through the endless void.
"Found it."
After a few breaths, Ning Qi suddenly looked toward a direction ahead.
"So fast."
Pill Spirit exclaimed in surprise.
He never expected Ning Qi could find a valuable location so quickly.
"Let's go!"
Ning Qi nodded and then abruptly departed.
After he left, within the starry sky behind him, Zhao Tianlei and the others revealed expressions as if facing a great enemy.
"Did you all sense it just now? There's an Expert."
Zhao Tianlei looked toward Ning Qi's direction, wearing a grave expression.
"Yes, such powerful Immortal Power!"
Zhao Zhirou also nodded, her eyes similarly filled with disbelief. "Why would an Immortal come to a place like this?"
"Shouldn't they despise such places the most?"
"Who is over in that direction?"
Zhao Tianlei narrowed his eyes, looking seriously in this direction.
"We just sent Xue Xiaotian over with our people."
"But they probably haven't arrived yet. I feel it should be Young Master Ning over there."
Zhao Zhirou thought for a moment, then showed a worried expression. "Oh no, Young Master Ning won't be in any trouble, will he?"
"Don't worry. His strength is formidable. And if there really was a problem, wouldn't there be some commotion?"
Zhao Tianlei shook his head and continued, "Presumably, he encountered some situation over there. Let's also go see what's happening!"
"Alright, then we'll leave this place for Lu Fangtian to continue searching!"
Zhao Zhirou agreed readily and then followed him to leave this area.
As she followed Zhao Tianlei back, Lu Fangtian behind them also led their people to begin searching again.
On the way, Zhao Zhirou suddenly said, "Why don't we ask Young Master Ning about the situation?"
"Fine, let's go."
After Zhao Tianlei agreed, he directly took out his Voice Transmission jade talisman and soon activated it with Demonic Power.
"Hoo!"
After being activated, an illusory figure of Ning Qi abruptly appeared before them.
"You two, what's the matter?"
Ning Qi looked at the two and asked with a smile.
"Young Master Ning, how is the situation on your side?"
Zhao Tianlei asked worriedly.
"My side is fine, but I was almost attacked by an Immortal's Divine Sense just now."
Ning Qi had long known they would ask him this and had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Oh, an Immortal's Divine Sense? What's going on?"
Hearing him say this, Zhao Tianlei immediately showed a grave expression. "Is there an Immortal who came here?"
"No, it was inside a tomb!"
Ning Qi shook his head and then continued, "I accidentally triggered it, but it's fine."
"It's just a remnant Divine Sense, nothing to worry about."
"Oh, an Immortal's Divine Sense, no wonder it was so powerful."
Hearing his words, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Ning, are you alright then?"
Zhao Zhirou, standing to the side, asked with some concern.
"I'm fine. I've already left and am now searching for opportunities in other tombs."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"That's good. We're also preparing to head over. This area has been pretty much searched by us."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Tianlei said with a smile, "You better be prepared."
"Alright, just come. I can't search this area alone anyway."
Ning Qi didn't mind at all and even actively invited them over.
After a few words, he directly cut off the Voice Transmission with the siblings.
"Hoo!"
As his jade pendant flashed with a beam of Condensed Light,
the illusory figures of the siblings before Ning Qi also directly vanished.
"Master, they are really too easy to fool."
Pill Spirit, beside him, said with a smile. "That was settled so easily. I thought they would come to investigate."
"That's because they've already sent people over. Did you think they were easy to deal with?"
Shi Xiaokun gave Pill Spirit a look and pointed backward. "A team is coming, and the numbers aren't few."
"Oh, they're already here?"
Only then did Pill Spirit react and looked back to observe.
Sure enough, he discovered some people were already heading toward them.
However, their strength was lacking, and the distance was still considerable.
"Alright, there's only one place worth going to ahead."
"Let's set off. This is our last opportunity here."
Ning Qi waved a hand and then directly sped forward.
Shi Xiaokun and Pill Spirit closely followed behind, keeping up with him.
They quickly arrived at the place Ning Qi had seen.
Only after they arrived did they clearly see what was going on here.
This place was actually something resembling a wormhole.
Around it, there were many floating corpses and tombstones.
Making this place look exceptionally eerie. These corpses, despite who knows how many years having passed, still appeared fresh and bloody.
As if they would never decay or disappear.
"What's going on here?"
Looking at the scene before him, Pill Spirit couldn't help but show a grave expression. "Why don't they rot?"
"There should be a formation blessing it, or perhaps their corpses inherently don't decay."
Ning Qi looked ahead and continued, "However, that's not what we're looking for. I sense that the thing is inside this wormhole."
"Master, these people should be the ones devoured by the Distorted Monsters, so they don't decay."
Shi Xiaokun looked at this place and followed up. "However, I feel there is danger inside this wormhole."
"If we go in, we need to be careful."
"Hmm, stay close, don't be careless."
Ning Qi nodded in acknowledgment, then focused his attention directly ahead.
He soon sped toward the front.
When he reached near the wormhole, he felt a powerful tearing force emanating from here.
"Such a strong tearing force. But why is it that even with such strength, it can't suck these corpses in?"
Pill Spirit had already hidden inside Ning Qi's Dantian.
From within his Dantian, he observed the surroundings.
He couldn't figure out no matter what was really going on here.
"Master, I feel this wormhole is suspicious. We... better not go in."
Shi Xiaokun looked inside and suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis.
Thus, he said this to Ning Qi.
"You also come into my Consciousness Sea. I'll search here alone!"
Ning Qi waved a hand at him.
He directly controlled Shi Xiaokun, who soon transformed into a beam of light and entered his Consciousness Sea.
After Ning Qi put both of them away, he then focused his attention ahead.
"Hoo!"
He took a deep breath and then directly flew into the wormhole.
In the blink of an eye, he entered this wormhole.
Here, there were Fierce Winds everywhere capable of tearing a person apart.
After Ning Qi entered, bolstered by his Golden Immortal strength, he wasn't directly torn apart.
This was the advantage after a breakthrough in strength; this was no longer something someone of Golden Immortal strength could compare to.
If it were his previous strength before the breakthrough, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to enter here.
Ning Qi felt the Fierce Winds here and then continued forward.
Within this wormhole, there was another world.
Apart from these Fierce Winds forming swirling vortices that constantly churned the area,
the rest consisted of some incomplete corpses and some weapons and Armor.
"After so many years of devastation here, these Armor and weapons show no damage at all."
"Their materials must be extraordinary."
Looking at the weapons and intact armor here, Ning Qi immediately revealed a smile.
"Master, if we open our Pocket Dimension, we can collect all the weapons and armor here."
Shi Xiaokun suddenly reminded him from within his Consciousness Sea.
"You mean, we can take all of these?"
Hearing his words, Ning Qi couldn't help but show curiosity.
"Yes, I can do it."
Shi Xiaokun continued from within his Consciousness Sea.
"You can withstand the Fierce Winds here?"
This was what Ning Qi was curious about.
"Yes. I was also at Golden Immortal strength before. These Fierce Winds can't harm my Soul at all."
Hearing his words, Shi Xiaokun said with a laugh.
"Good. In that case, then you come out."
Only then did Ning Qi feel relieved and let Shi Xiaokun appear.
"Hoo!"
With a flash, Shi Xiaokun directly emerged from his Consciousness Sea.
"You can collect the resources here?"
Ning Qi asked uncertainly.
"Yes, leave all the resources here to me!"
Shi Xiaokun nodded, pledging confidently, "I guarantee there won't be any resources left here."
"Alright, it's up to you then."
"I'll go take a look ahead."
Ning Qi felt reassured and then reminded, "Be careful."
"Yes, Master!"
Shi Xiaokun respectfully accepted the order and then began to act.
Ning Qi even purposely stopped to watch his actions.
He discovered that Shi Xiaokun could indeed open their Pocket Dimension here and then began to activate it.
Soon, visible ripples emanated from the Pocket Dimension.
Under the surge of these ripples, they began to gather all the armor and weapons here.
It was like a giant net bursting forth from here, the net transforming into countless threads,
directly absorbing all the armor and weapons around him.
Seeing this, Ning Qi stopped observing further.
Instead, he sped forward again.
He passed through the shattered meteorite region and soon arrived at an ancient tomb resembling a royal castle.
Here, there were also flickering fluorescent lights, clearly indicating the presence of some rare treasure.
"Why is it pitch black? There's nothing here at all!"
Observing the situation here, Pill Spirit couldn't help but complain. "Did we get fooled again? There's simply nothing here."
"Or perhaps, from the start, it was just a useless place putting on an act."
"No, I feel there must be something here."
Ning Qi shook his head and then focused his attention ahead. "Let's go. I want to see what else is here."
After saying this, he continued flying toward the ancient castle ahead.
Soon, he reached the sky above the castle.
After he arrived, the void here suddenly became as if fixed by someone, no longer having any ripples.
"Master, what's going on?"
Looking at the scene before him, Pill Spirit couldn't help but widen his eyes.
A flash of confusion passed through his gaze.
"Hmph, let me see what's happening."
Ning Qi snorted coldly and then directly took out his Chaos Sword. "Open for me."
Following his roar, he directly shot out a surging sword aura.
After this sword aura surged forth, it instantly slashed down toward the void ahead.
"Hoo!"
The sword aura howled, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered the void here into pieces.
Streams of Fierce Winds followed, surging.
"Success!"
Looking at his own handiwork before him, Ning Qi waited for this place to be utterly shattered, so he could clearly see its true appearance.
After saying this, he began waiting for changes here.
However, the disappointing situation finally occurred.
The void here had originally been shattered to pieces, but not long after, it regained its calm.
Even the edges where Ning Qi's sword aura had just struck had already returned to calm.
As if nothing had ever happened.
"Really strange. Just like that painting, it had no effect."
Pill Spirit tilted his head, carefully observing the situation here.
