Chapter 167: Void Land
Amid everyone’s worry, Shi An’an and Xiu were currently in a piece of void land.
Shi An’an looked at Xiu beneath her and found that he had passed out. Moreover, there were deep bite marks on his body.
She only remembered that she was recovering spiritual power at the time when suddenly a phantom giant beast head bit toward her. Xiu abruptly stood up, and the giant beast bit onto his body, dragging both of them into a black hole.
However, the moment they entered the black hole, the giant beast disappeared, and they were in this void land.
Shi An’an had no time to explore here and hurriedly transmitted spiritual power to Xiu.
At this time, she had just recovered spiritual power. She carefully transmitted spiritual power bit by bit into Xiu’s body, slowly repairing the wounds on his body.
The giant lion appeared especially heartbreaking when injured.
Shi An’an looked at the giant lion with tightly closed eyes, thinking of how during the final tribulation lightning, he had flown toward her without hesitation.
At that moment, her heart pounded fiercely, her eyes hot, and she really wanted to cry.
Actually, at that time, she was already unable to move, with all her spiritual power exhausted. She had thought that the final tribulation lightning could just make her disappear together with the black hole…
She hadn’t expected that at the last moment, he had rushed toward her.
The final tribulation lightning was exceptionally ferocious. With the slightest carelessness, a mortal body like his would be directly struck into oblivion.
At that time, she felt a myriad of emotions in her heart and for a moment didn’t know how to express them.
Shi An’an recalled the scene just now in her heart while diligently curing Xiu’s body.
Gradually, the bite marks healed, and the fur grew back.
“Hmph…”
The giant lion let out a muffled hum and showed signs of stirring.
“Xiu?”
Shi An’an nervously looked at Xiu and softly called to him.
However, after Shi An’an called out for a long time, Xiu still did not wake up.
Shi An’an frowned tightly. This shouldn’t be right. The wounds on his body had already healed, so why hadn’t he woken up yet?
Shi An’an carefully checked Xiu’s body again and found no abnormalities.
While checking, Shi An’an discovered that spiritual power had already gathered in his dantian, indicating that he had begun cultivating using the method she taught him.
At this time, Xiu was about to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Seeing Xiu’s cultivation level, Shi An’an praised repeatedly. As expected of a Heavenly Spiritual Root; the cultivation speed was truly fast!
After checking that there were no abnormalities with Xiu, Shi An’an patted Xiu’s head, then stood up and looked around.
“Where is this place?”
Shi An’an murmured softly, looking at the surroundings like a starry sky dotted with points of light, intangible and invisible.
This place was completely silent, and Shi An’an’s spiritual sense surprisingly could not be used here.
Shi An’an glanced at Xiu, took out a jade pendant and hung it around his neck, then gently leaned close to his ear. “Xiu, I’m going ahead to take a look. Wait for me here; I’ll be right back.”
After speaking, Shi An’an gently stroked Xiu’s smooth fur, then stood up and walked forward.
At this time, Xiu had no idea where he was. He was putting all his energy into resisting a monster in his mind.
“Give up. Give me your body, and I will lead it to a better status—not only status, but cultivation level as well. It will absolutely be the sole ruler of this world!”
Xiu resisted fiercely. The spiritual power An’an had just transmitted to him gave him time to catch his breath.
“Give up…”
“In your dreams!”
Xiu resisted desperately. He didn’t know what this monster was, but he knew that once he gave up resisting, he would be killed by it.
His body would also be taken over, and it would definitely do bad things using his body.
If…
If in the end he really couldn’t resist, he would rather destroy his body than let this monster succeed!
Shi An’an kept flying forward, not knowing how long she had flown. Ahead and around her, there was still no end in sight, and she couldn’t feel the passage of time.
Worried about Xiu, Shi An’an scanned the surroundings and then turned back.
Returning to Xiu’s side, Shi An’an checked his body and still found no problems, but she didn’t understand why he still hadn’t woken up.
Shi An’an looked at Xiu, thought for a moment, and then transmitted more spiritual power into his body.
At this time, the somewhat exhausted Xiu felt a large surge of spiritual power entering, making his soul solidify again.
Xiu was delighted in his heart. He knew it was An’an transmitting spiritual power to him. Thinking of An’an filled his heart with strength, and he suddenly surged forward to tear and bite at that monster.
He refused to believe it. Since the other side wanted to devour him, could he not also devour that monster!
“Ah, trash! You actually want to devour me? Hahaha, mere ant, how dare you!”
“Pah! Let’s see who devours whom!” Xiu spat disdainfully and continued to tear and bite.
At this time, Xiu’s soul was like his body, like a fierce lion, crazily tearing and biting desperately.
And that monster also transformed into a giant beast, entangled with the fierce lion, biting each other.
After transmitting the spiritual power, Shi An’an sat beside Xiu. She felt something was off.
Not only was something off with Xiu, but even this space was off.
Here, she completely couldn’t feel the passage of time.
She also couldn’t sense any life auras. This place seemed to have no other life forms besides her and Xiu.
This place was like a prison, trapping them here.
Shi An’an forced herself to calm down and took out green plants from her space button.
In this empty place, a touch of green suddenly appeared, gradually calming Shi An’an’s heart.
Looking at her beloved green plants, Shi An’an decided that since she had come, she would make herself at home!
Cultivators were least afraid of loneliness!
Any great power would go into secluded cultivation for a hundred or thousand years. What was loneliness? They wouldn’t know!
Shi An’an placed the green plants around Xiu. She sat beside him, meditated, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate gradually.
Having just advanced to Nascent Soul, this was the perfect time to consolidate her cultivation level.
Shi An’an calmed her mind and breath to begin cultivation. She cultivated her spiritual power and transmitted it to the green plants, then transmitted half of the spiritual energy released by the green plants into Xiu’s body and absorbed the other half herself.
Cycling like this, over and over…
Time passed bit by bit. Shi An’an remained in a cultivation state, and Xiu remained unconscious.
The only change was that the green plants around them had at some point filled the entire space, growing more and more.
Colorful green plants in this void land looked very beautiful.
Shi An’an continued cultivating, and these green plants, with Shi An’an’s spiritual power input, kept growing, producing seeds, sprouting, growing, producing seeds…
“Stop! Stop right now!!!”
An angry voice echoed through the entire space from who knows where. Shi An’an abruptly opened her eyes and looked around.
She didn’t detect anyone’s aura, but this voice had indeed appeared.
After waiting a moment, the voice didn’t appear again.
Shi An’an closed her eyes again to cultivate. This time, she sped up her cultivation.
The surrounding green plants rapidly grew outward. Wherever the seeds fell, they took root and sprouted there…
