Ning Wan’ge’s eyes dimmed. Her thoughts were immersed in each and every scenario painted in her mind.

She felt the girl who was transformed into a soul carcass and could not be brought back to life.

She sees the shadow before herself, only barely able to recognize the girl from her silhouette and sound. But the girl’s body is covered by a layer of vague and blurry colours of chaos.

The girl looked at Ning Wan’ge and stretched out her hand. A torrent of light from her palm enveloped Ning Wan’ge.

Suddenly, layers of clouds emerged and flowed rapidly into her body. Ning Wan’ge felt it was increasingly apparent that her body was taking a physical form, whereas her consciousness was gradually slipping away, as if drifting into a deep slumber.

The girl in the mental imagery of her memory fell asleep, while in reality the consciousness of Ning Wan’ge gained a renewed sense of clarity and returned to the real world.

Ning Wan’ge snapped out of it, but felt her vision darken. Each and every imagery in her memory began to disintegrate, morphing into rays of light and circling around the spiritual altar in her heart.

In the pupils of her eyes, a brilliant light danced. One by one, they turned into rune patterns, which began to float in the void before her.

Big Luo frowned and looked at Ning Wan’ge, who let out a long sigh and said, “this is not the right place, we should proceed elsewhere”.

“Oh? Are you saying that we have a new lead?” Big Luo asked aloud. Ning Wan’ge nodded her head. In her eyes shining rune patterns flowed out. Following her vision, they formed into a pathway, leading to somewhere distant.

The pathway formed by these talismans crossed the palace that the two of them stood in, through the first dimension outer realm, sailing towards the far void.

Ning Wan’ge and Big Luo left the grand palace. Ning Wan’ge turned around to look and saw the light in the grand palace dissipate. Consequently, the grand palace rapidly deteriorated, like it was decaying into dust.

She let out a soft sigh, and conjured a spell in her mind. A hazy light grew and shrouded the entire palace.

Under the vesture of this dim glow, the palace immediately stabilized once more and stopped quaking.

Although it still looked barren and desolate, Ning Wan’ge was not motivated to further improve its condition. At least under the protection of her spell power, this place maintained the facade that it had when they first went in.

Big Luo stood aside and watched the episode in silence, without giving any comments.

After a short while, Ning Wan’ge turned around and left the first dimension realm. “Let’s move on,” she said and walked along the pathway that the brilliant light leaded to.

Big Luo followed her in complete silence, moving forward together, flying towards somewhere far away.

“We must leave the Void Battlefield. Not far ahead, there should be a space warp. From there, we can leave the Void Battlefield,” Ning Wan’ge said as she flew.

Big Luo was visibly shaken. He asked, “after we leave, where to?”

Ning Wan’ge said, “after out departure, we return to the Greater World. Between the Barren Expanses and the Outer Void lies the Middle World. That should be our destination. As for what we will find there, I have no clue.”

Big Luo thought deeply, “A Middle World, for real?”

The duo advanced until a certain point, where they halted and mana surged. The messy yet frail barrier between realms immediately tore into an eerie crack.

The Void Battlefield is chaotic and dangerous. But for Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge now, with minor exceptions, they could enter and leave the Void Battlefield with relative ease.

However, finding someone or something in it was like finding a needle in the haystack. At least they were capable of protecting themselves.

The duo passed through the twisted and torn realm passage, once more arriving in the Greater World, above the East Sea of the Divine Lands. As the two of them were mentally prepared, they instantaneously took the nearest realm passage joining the two realms, and headed for the Barren Expanses.

Upon reaching the Barren Expanses, the duo proceeded forward. At a certain location, they tore open the void again, into the Barren Expanses outside the Greater World.

The Middle World hangs alone in the sky, not connected to the Greater World, unbeknownst to the ordinary man. Only with the responses from the Ning Wan’ge’s lead, the duo followed the clues to solve the puzzle. That was how they found the place.

“It seems that this world is in ruin. Compared to the Outer Realms previously, this is in a worse condition,” Big Luo said, “Besides, this Middle World has probably experienced a great war.”

Ning Wan’ge nodded and said, “That’s right. This particular Middle World should have a much longer natural lifespan. This desolate and barren land before our eyes is due to the battle between some really powerful people”.

“The sheer strength of both parties could easily decimate this Middle World. But the Middle World must have originally had a protective formation or protective restrictions. Now that the formation and restrictions are dilapidated, they at least preserved the Middle World in the end.”

As they try to make out of the Middle World before them, the duo drew near.

When the duo attempted to enter the Middle World, rays of bright light suddenly shined at them, causing the void to become twisted. The Middle World rapidly consolidated into a tiny dot, swaying incessantly in the twisted void, making it difficult to determine its true location.

Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge were somewhat shocked. They stopped in their track and saw a brilliant light in the twisted void. All of a sudden, Sutras chanted by Buddhas echoed in the air.

The light instantaneously turned into colours of the rainbow. The shapeless light almost took a physical form, condensing the surrounding void within it.

In the center of the rainbow coloured Buddha light, infinity light and infinity spell are bursting out together. From within it, the zen aura of peace, freedom, forgiveness, and righteousness are emancipated.

Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge looked up and saw several the shadows of Buddhist monks sitting in the void. The chants of the Buddha are endless.

There were two monks at the front. One scrawny elder monk and one handsome young monk with refreshing facial features. The two of them raised their hands together, cupping an orb of light in their palms. Within the brilliant light, there is a world of its own. The world is a boundless land of Buddha, with innumerable stupas and Arhat Buddhas. That is the ultimate level of the spell “Buddhist Kingdom Palm”.

The two monks casted Buddhist Kingdom Palm together. The two Buddhist lands are individual entities, but in terms of their power and conception, it felt as though they are of the same origin.

The two worlds which seem separated, somehow appear to be one Buddhist Kingdom Holy Land. Golden lotuses bloomed and flourished, filling up the void.

The point of deflation in the Middle World, now residing within the Buddhist Kingdom, was almost regaining its former appearance. It no longer existed in a state where it could neither be captured, nor contacted with.

Above the head of the two monks lies an expansive, towering mountain. The mountain range is unbelievably majestic and imposing. It almost occupies the entirety of the void. It is so humongous that words cannot describe it, and thoughts cannot picture it.

Big Luo recalled what Lin Feng taught him over the past few years. He lifted his eyebrows and asked, “Is it Mount Meru?”

The appearance of this towering mountain exactly replicated that of the most precious treasure of the Buddhist Clan. It resembled the features of Mount Meru.

When Mount Meru descends, no matter the size of the being, they are compelled to lower their head. Regardless of the direction of escape, it is near impossible to break away from the sphere of influence of Mount Meru. That means everyone will just be repressed under the mountain.

At the peak of the gigantic hill, infinitesimal light of Buddha shined, with a transparence like glass.

The only strange thing is that there was an eight feet deep crater on the plateau of the peak. However, this has little impact on the pressure exerted by these powerful Magical Treasures of Destiny.

The two omnipotent Buddhist monks casted Buddhist Kingdom Palm together, fusing with the energy of Mount Meru. This created a fantastical scene, where two distinct different Buddhist Kingdom and World in different dimensions complement each other perfectly in one entity. Together with Mount Meru, it repressed the Middle World in the void.

The Middle World could no longer hide within the void. Hence it expanded once again, turning into a Middle World that resembled a black sphere.

On the surface of the black sphere, traces of dark purple rune scriptures circulate incessantly, orbiting the sphere. From within the orb came an explosive, earth-shaking demonic energy, banishing away the light of Buddha, preventing it from transforming the Middle World.

At that moment, the two parties went into stalemate. None of them have an advantage, only slightly pushing and pulling, back and forth.

Witnessing this, Ning Wan’ge found it difficult to maintain her calm demeanor. She glanced around and said, “This seems to be the war that took place in this Middle World. The shadows and traces of the war are still remnant even until now. It is not hard to imagine the intensity of that battle”.

“However, it was fought between the Buddhist Clan and the human race, as Mount Meru still stands here. Hence, it must have taken place during the previous war between the two realms, or even before that.”

Big Luo said slowly, “I’m afraid it took place during the previous battle between the two realms”.

Ning Wan’ge stared at Big Luo and his vision blurred a little. He said, “The restriction on spells and rituals that was casted on that Middle World must be from the Hades Clan.”

“Master Lin once mentioned to me that during the previous battle between the two realms, Buddhist Clan’s cultivators obtained information from the Great Void Sect. They assaulted the Middle World that the Hades Empress resided in. The initial intention was to assassinate the Hades Empress here. It was not known that the Hades Empress was pregnant at the time and that she was expecting soon”.

“After a lot of fighting, the protective restrictions were not broken through. The Hades Empress was feeble after labor. She depleted her life force resisting against the attack and perished. After that, the Hades Emperor raided the Great Thunderclap Temple with a huge army”.

Big Luo looked at the Middle World before him and his gaze wandered off. He thought out loud, “In this Middle World, the Hades Clan’s imperial city and Obsidian Realm are well hidden and completely cut off from the rest of the world. There must have been precautions against the Great Heavenly Mirror of the Great Void Sect. But how did the Great Void Sect manage to locate them nonetheless?”

He took a few steps forward. The light in the void gradually dimmed and the void returned to its initial state, while the Middle World regained its former appearance.

Ning Wan’ge looked at Big Luo out of concern, but soon followed him closely.

The two of them entered into the Middle World. As soon as they set foot inside, Big Luo’s torso started shaking violently.

In his eyes, countless purple light patterns shimmered incessantly. His black hair turned silver and the silver hair even started sprouting out from his back.

A triplet of horns emerged from Big Luo’s forehead and purple light patterns appeared on his body. The teeth in his mouth sharpened like they were canines of wolves and dragons. He could not control himself and reverted to his primal form.

Although Ning Wan’ge felt a massive amount of familiar energy in this Middle World, but upon seeing the appearance of Big Luo, she was still slightly shocked.

“What are you?…” she said.

Big Luo howled longingly at the sky. Light and shadow danced in his pupils, forming one imagery after another.

After a long while, the howling finally stopped. Big Luo’s voice is deep, but seemingly devoid of emotions.

“I, was born here.”
