Chapter 1038 -786: Anomaly (Part 2)

Qin An asked, “What is your name? And what type of world is yours?”

The middle-aged man quickly replied, “My name is Zhao Yang. In the world we come from, we cultivate a unique energy known as Soulfire.”

“This energy is drawn into our bodies and attaches to our souls. When we wield it, our flames can scorch the souls of our enemies.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yang raised his right hand, and a transparent flame appeared above it.

This flame appeared transparent, without any heat, yet it carried a threatening presence.

Such a thing that harms the soul is indeed the most insidious.

Therefore, ordinary cultivators, when faced with such a technique, would be very cautious, fearing any mistakes.

Qin An also saw this flame, rubbed his chin, and said, “To understand what specifically happened, I need to visit your world. Your Majesty, I think I should go with him to have a look.”

The situation here is quite clear now. Emperor Xuanwu must stabilize the course of the Daqian Dynasty. If he disappears for too long, it might even cause instability in the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu must stay here.

As a result, after Emperor Xuanwu stays here, only he and this man named Zhao Yang can venture through the Sea of Hope to the world in question to understand what truly happened.

After all, instead of guessing blindly, it is better to visit the scene directly. Once everything is clear, all reasons will naturally be understood. ℯℯ𝑙.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded upon hearing this and said, “Indeed, I had the same thought, but you have been in seclusion, and I couldn’t disturb you. Now that you are out, you can handle this matter.”

If he could leave the realm of the Daqian Kingdom, he would certainly be willing to go with Qin An.

However, now that the mysterious world is approaching ever closer, he must stay in the Daqian Kingdom to ensure no issues arise.

Zhao Yang looked left and right, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes, and he asked, “Shall we go now?”

Originally, he was very worried, but now that Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu are willing to help them solve the problem, he feels half-relieved.

As for the other half, it depends on whether they can solve it or not.

Qin An thought for a moment, nodded, and said, “Let’s go now. It’s best to resolve this as soon as possible. The sooner we solve it, the better for us.”

After all, for Qin An, solving this matter first is necessary for him to feel at ease.

This matter might be related to the mysterious world, and he can also use this opportunity to look for clues about the mysterious world.

With those words, Qin An did not speak further. He then turned, informed Emperor Xuanwu of his departure, and led Zhao Yang out of the Imperial Study.

After leaving the Imperial Study, Qin An turned to Zhao Yang and said,

“Just stick with me now. We will travel through the Sea of Hope to your world. Everything will become clear then.”

Zhao Yang nodded, said no more and followed behind Qin An, flying towards the Sea of Hope.

…

The Sea of Hope remained as calm as it was before, with no one guarding it since all the Heavenly Demons had been annihilated.

Staying to guard it would only be a waste of time.

At this moment, when Qin An and Zhao Yang arrived beneath the sky where the Sea of Hope was located, Zhao Yang’s face showed a look of astonishment.

Although he had come through the Sea of Hope to this world, every time he saw the Sea of Hope, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of awe.

In their world, it would be impossible to bring forth the Sea of Hope.

All of this was built with sacrifices and tears; he had a bit of admiration for those who constructed the Sea of Hope.

Qin An noticed Zhao Yang’s expression and shook his head, saying, “This is not the time for reflection. Our goal is to solve the problem first. Follow me into the Sea of Hope.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin An didn’t hesitate and flew towards the sky.

Zhao Yang watched Qin An fly towards the sky and, understandingly, followed behind Qin An.

Before long, their figures disappeared into the Sea of Hope and entered that mysterious space.

In front of them appeared scenes of different worlds, but these worlds looked incredibly illusory.

After a glance, Qin An turned to Zhao Yang and said, “Now release your consciousness and use your energy to sense your world. I can connect the passage to it, and then we will follow this passage to your world.”

Since Zhao Yang was leading for the first time, Qin An had to explain clearly to avoid any accidents.

They could not afford any mishaps now; if trouble arose, how could they face those from the mysterious world?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang realized Qin An was considering their world, and he then focused with his energy to sense the location of his world.

Since he was originally from that world, he quickly pointed in a direction after sensing for a while.

“Mr. Qin, my world is in this direction. Look carefully, and you should see it.”

Qin An thought for a moment, released his Void Essence, extended his spirit in the direction Zhao Yang indicated.

Once extended, Qin An immediately felt a tremor coming from Zhao Yang’s indicated direction.

He knew that what he sensed was absolutely accurate.

Qin An said, “Alright, we’ll proceed from here.”

Without hesitation, he followed the path and passed through the light screen in front of him.

After seeing Qin An pass through, Zhao Yang took a deep breath, followed behind Qin An, and soon disappeared from sight.

When Qin An crossed through the light screen, he felt a blur in front of him.

Once the blurry scene gradually cleared, he realized he had arrived in a special world.

This world had sky and earth, blue skies and white clouds, as well as rivers and streams.

It looked no different from his world, but Qin An keenly felt a special power pervading this world.

This power was entirely different from his world, able to reach the depths of the soul.

Seeing Qin An’s amazement, Zhao Yang explained, “This is the unique energy of our world, which we call Soulfire.”

“However, without our world’s cultivation methods, hastily merging Soulfire into your body will lead to its corruption, ultimately destroying the Divine Sense, and turning one into a soulless zombie.”

He said this as a reminder, worried that Qin An might attempt to integrate Soulfire.

Qin An shook his head, “That’s not the point. Now you stay here and wait while I investigate further.”

Zhao Yang nodded, knowing Qin An didn’t want to be disturbed, and stood silently without making any sound.

Qin An then turned to look at the ground, having already devised a method in his heart.

How to investigate?

Naturally, running throughout the whole world is out of the question, as it would only waste time.

So, there’s only one way: communicate with the Dragon Vein and the world will to find out what went wrong.

Qin An quickly connected with the Dragon Vein. Upon connecting, he immediately felt the world’s Dragon Vein surging continually.

Yet, upon detailed sensing, the Dragon Vein sent no useful information to Qin An.

Qin An thought for a moment and withdrew from the state.

Realizing this alone wouldn’t reveal the reason, he knew he must communicate with the world’s will.

With this in mind, Qin An began to connect with the world will.
