Chapter 1389 - 624: The Passage to the Inner Realm

Chapter 1389: Chapter 624: The Passage to the Inner Realm

"Don’t rush, let me see what’s going on."

Ning Qi frowned, directing his gaze forward.

The light leading out shrank the more he swam upwards.

In other words, if he kept going like this, he might completely block his own escape route.

So what if he went the opposite way?

Ning Qi pondered for a moment, then swam backward.

At the same time, he looked back to check the situation.

It chilled his heart; swimming this way wasn’t making it bigger, nor did there seem to be any sign of enlargement.

This meant he was thoroughly trapped here.

"Shi Xiaokun, can you come see what’s going on with us?"

The Medicine Spirit couldn’t help but ask for help.

At this critical moment, only Shi Xiaokun might have a solution.

They were already at their wit’s end.

"Master."

Shi Xiaokun didn’t emerge from his Sumeru Space.

Instead, he materialized from Ning Qi’s sea of consciousness as Soul Power.

"Where’s your real body, why come out from the sea of consciousness?"

Ning Qi asked in confusion upon seeing his appearance.

"The Sumeru Space can’t be opened here."

Shi Xiaokun sighed: "We’ve come to a place we shouldn’t have."

"Do you know what this place is?"

Upon hearing him, Ning Qi couldn’t help but be curious.

It was clear that Shi Xiaokun understood something.

"This isn’t a place someone set up Restrictions or an Array."

Shi Xiaokun nodded, then looked around and said, "This is the core passage of this Inner Realm."

"Since it’s a passage, there should be a chance to get out, right?"

Ning Qi looked at him eagerly.

"Master, it’s impossible to get out."

Shi Xiaokun shook his head again: "This passage was formed by the Power of Laws during the creation of this realm."

"Usually, only the Realm Venerable here can come and go freely. If we want to get out, there are only two possibilities."

"Either become this realm’s Realm Venerable or completely destroy this place."

"Right now, we’re controlled by this place; it’s impossible to destroy here."

"The only way is to become the Realm Venerable here."

"But this place is already in ruins; becoming its Realm Venerable doesn’t seem beneficial."

The Medicine Spirit shrugged: "Furthermore, we’re trapped here and can’t get out."

"That’s why we’re stuck in such a predicament."

"To become the Realm Venerable here, we’d have to go outside, harness its power through the Power of Laws, and refine the Origin Power here."

"But in this passage, we can only wait for the Origin Power to be completely consumed before we have a chance to escape."

Shi Xiaokun gazed upwards at the faint exit: "It seems farther and farther away due to Spatial Folding."

"This is the special feature of the passage."

"Wait, did you say Spatial Folding?"

Ning Qi caught onto something as he listened to him.

Previously, when being chased by Dao Bujin, he encountered this issue.

Back then, when meeting Miss Xu, hadn’t he used his understanding of the Spatial Folding Array to pass through the barrier of that Inner Realm?

Successfully breaking in.

If this is indeed Spatial Folding, then maybe it’s worth a try.

"Yes, Master."

Shi Xiaokun agreed, gesturing forward: "Clearly, this is Spatial Folding, making things appear within arm’s reach."

"However, the space here is folded intricately, and therefore, it seems we are walking out."

"But in reality, we’re being transmitted somewhere unknown by the folded space."

"Haha, if that’s the case, then we might have a chance to get out."

The Medicine Spirit suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "Our master may not excel at many things, but is very skilled at folding space."

"Indeed, your few words have found us the way."

"Huh? Master, you know Spatial Folding Array?"

Shi Xiaokun understood immediately after hearing the Medicine Spirit, his eyes curiously fixed on Ning Qi.

"Yes, I do know Spatial Folding."

"Since you say so, then we have a way to get out."

"You wait in my sea of consciousness, and we’ll be out soon."

Ning Qi smiled, showing confidence.

"Alright!"

"..."

After hearing his arrangement, both agreed and returned to his body.

"Whew!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and focused his spiritual power.

Ripples began spreading around him.

Merging with the underwater environment here.

Simultaneously, his Dao Pattern started rippling, bit by bit merging with the space here.

"Sizzle."

At first, the folded space made a harsh noise under the Dao Pattern’s fusion.

This increased the pressure on Ning Qi.

Not knowing how many times every inch and strand of the space had been folded.

"This is much more intricate than the folded space encountered before."

"The folded space there might have folded five or six times per inch or strand."

"Here, it’s at least twenty times."

Ning Qi murmured to himself, marveling.

As expected, the folding space within the Inner Realm allowed the Realm Venerable to flee and evade enemy pursuit.

Upon entering, they could easily evade enemy pursuit.

Leaving enemies completely trapped here.

Ning Qi was already at the level of Golden Immortal Fifth Grade, though still far from Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, the strength here can trap masters with Golden Immortal strength, proving its impressiveness.
