Chapter 292: Bizarre Changes On The Evil Realm Battlefield
Wu Xian understood, gradually realizing Xu Cunxin’s intentions.
Sometimes when the world situation is turbulent, for a “colossal entity” like a dojo, it can instead achieve a certain personnel optimization effect.
Just right, she was preparing to innovate the 【Sacred Spirit】 concept, so she could use this to purge some unnecessary family forces, optimize the entire Shenglin Dojo, and better control the entire Shenglin Dojo in her own hands.
Of course, this process would inevitably encounter various resistances.
“If you encounter any unsolvable difficulties later, you can come to your master for help,” Wu Xian smiled and said, “By the way, how has the Imperial Daughter Bird’s improvement been?”
“It’s alright, the ancient method Life-bound Scroll Painting is indeed profoundly mysterious.”
Wu Xian understood, “Speaking of which, that jade scroll of yours seems to have a lot of room for optimization in my master’s view.”
Xu Cunxin was both surprised and delighted, “Please give me your guidance, Master.”
He then explained to Xu Cunxin some related settings and details of the 【Valkyrie】 from his previous life.
After hearing this, Xu Cunxin had a moment of enlightenment and immediately went into secluded study.
Meanwhile, Wu Xian took Zhou Qi with him and headed to the Insectoid Realm together.
…
At the President’s palace.
Xue Lingling and Tang Tiaotiao were chatting and laughing, their relationship as close as sisters.
“Really? For real?” Tang Tiaotiao exclaimed in surprise, “Kissing right away? So unromantic?”
“Not exactly,” Xue Lingling hesitated, then released that Bihai Flower scroll painting, “Actually, my good disciple is quite romantic, like with this scroll painting, for example.”
“Wow~ It can be like this?” Tang Tiaotiao grew more and more amazed as she looked, “Quite a few tricks.”
Perhaps that’s just how men are.
Back then, the one he drew for her was a cute little white rabbit, but now when he meets a girl he likes, it’s directly tailor-made.
No way, she had to get Little Xianzi to make a tailor-made scroll painting for her later too.
“By the way, Tiaotiao, speaking of which, after spending so much time with Little Xian, haven’t you ever felt any anomaly?” Xue Lingling probed.
“An anomalous feeling?” Tang Tiaotiao seriously recalled and pondered, “Does wanting to bring him along to rise to prominence count?”
Xue Lingling’s expression turned odd.
Only now did she realize that Tang Tiaotiao, just like her back then, hadn’t fully awakened in matters of romance.
…
Insectoid Realm, Kun Youniang’s territory.
It had only been two or three days since they last met, but the surrounding terrain and forms had already undergone obvious changes.
It looked much more orderly than before.
Zhou Qi was full of curiosity about everything in the Insectoid Otherworld, bursting with inspiration along the way as he shared his inner visions with Wu Xian.
“Yo~ Brother Zhou, are you brewing your own Domain Scroll Painting concept?” Wu Xian said in surprise.
“Just some initial inspirations and ideas,” Zhou Qi nodded excitedly, “I feel like I need to come to the Insectoid Realm more often.”
“When the time comes to station here in the Insectoid Realm, you’ll get to see plenty,” Wu Xian teased, pointing ahead, “Look, up ahead is our Second Sister-in-law’s Empress palace.”
He originally thought Zhou Qi would be as shocked by that “imperial palace” as he was.
Who would have thought that in Zhou Qi’s eyes, Second Sister-in-law’s imperial palace was full of art.
One could only say that people’s aesthetics don’t align.
Just like how Master Sister likes things from the Underworld, this guy Zhou Qi also likes stuff from the insect realm.
Kun Youniang naturally noticed the two’s arrival.
Before they could enter the imperial palace, Kun Youniang appeared before them first, her expression somewhat grave, “Little Xian, you came at just the right time. That evil realm from last time seems not so simple.”
“What happened?” Wu Xian was startled inside.
He had thought that evil realm had already been eradicated, but there was more to it.
“I don’t know how to describe it exactly, you’ll see when we get there.”
Kun Youniang looked serious, raised her hand and shot out a strand of spider silk, and in the next second, she carried the two along the spider silk to a spot dozens of miles away.
Wu Xian and Zhou Qi couldn’t help but marvel in admiration.
After a series of spider silk transmissions, they soon arrived at the area where the evil realm had been.
The Spiritual Youngster, the King-level Centipede Spirit, had already arrived at the scene ahead of time, staring at the eerie territory before him with a furrowed brow.
“Spider Sis, you’ve arrived.”
The Spiritual Youngster greeted respectfully and nodded to Wu Xian in greeting.
At this moment, Wu Xian and Zhou Qi were also stunned speechless by the astonishing sight before them.
Only to see that on the Insectoid Realm ground ahead, a desolate wasteland stretched out, shrouded in eerie yellow mist, with countless Insectoid Monsters seemingly like sculptures, frozen on the dilapidated ground.
Upon approaching, they could clearly feel an invisible, intangible power eroding their bodies.
“Distorted Power?” Wu Xian exclaimed.
“It seems like it, but it’s not quite the same as the Distorted Power in my impression,” the Spiritual Youngster said gravely, “Look closely at those little insects; it seems they’ve had their lives taken invisibly.”
Wu Xian went up to an Insectoid “sculpture” like a cockroach, probed it, and drew in a sharp breath.
It had truly turned into a sculpture; the entire Insectoid Monster from inside out, whether flesh or shell, had become the same eerie substance.
Probing deeper, he could even see some Insectoid Monsters that were currently being “sculpturized.”
These Insectoid Monsters seemed completely unaware of the anomaly; even as their bodies could no longer move, they still followed their instincts in laborious movement until their entire bodies fully solidified into sculptures.
“For now, the higher the level, the stronger the resistance to this power,” Kun Youniang described, “Additionally, the Heaven and Earth Laws in this area have fallen into chaos, beyond Little Centipede’s control.”
“Evil Realm pollution?” Wu Xian inquired.
“No, completely different from past Evil Realm pollution,” Kun Youniang said, “Areas polluted by Evil Realms can at least slowly recover, but this area doesn’t even have a chance to recover; it’s like… thoroughly necrotic.”
Wu Xian grew more and more alarmed as he listened, feeling a chill in his heart.
It was precisely this kind of invisible, intangible evil power that was all the more terrifying.
Could it be that this was the true power from the Evil God?
“Besides this, are there any other anomalies?” Wu Xian asked.
“Not yet,” the Spiritual Youngster Centipede Spirit answered, “But these past couple of days during cultivation, I always feel like something is watching me from the shadows, making me unable to settle down.”
Wu Xian took a deep breath and immediately released Ting to probe.
Little Di Ting was also startled by the eerie scene here, listened intently, but found nothing, “I can’t hear any information at all; the entire area is a void.”
“Void?” Wu Xian was stunned.
“That’s right, pure void,” Little Di Ting organized his words, “In my listening power, this area is in a completely blank state, a chaotic state that has thoroughly vanished from the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Or put it this way: this area essentially no longer exists.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and the others felt an unprecedented gravity.
“Could there be some unknown yet powerful Evil God at work in the shadows?” Wu Xian suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Moreover, that eerie power was continuously eroding them subtly.
This could be seen from the constant consumption of Aura of Wealth within their bodies.
Kun Youniang and the Spiritual Youngster were also using all their strength throughout to resist the erosion of that intangible power.
Rather than resistance, it was more like using their own power to consume the erosion of that intangible power.
