Seized by the System

After some time, the wicked spirit in the green smoke had expanded to an unimaginable size. The entire arena was at least thirty meters tall, yet it had already reached the ceiling.

Throughout the whole process, the wicked spirit remained silent, just like a puppet.

When Bodhisattva Spirit King noticed, he pointed his finger and made the grey trail of presence thinner, slowing down the power output.

He then shook his head and said, “Brother Dragon, it seems that this venue is unable to accommodate this creature anymore.”

“No matter, I can just compress it a little,” Vigilante A responded as he, too, stretched out his finger.

Just like a soaked sponge that had just been squeezed, the marionette-like wicked spirit shrunk rapidly. However, its form seemed to be getting stronger, whereas its entire body was emitting an eerily horrifying presence.

Bodhisattva Spirit King was secretly in awe. A spirit so powerful even the Upper Realm would feel threatened by would require an extreme technique to suppress. Not only that, this was a piece of wasteland on Earth that just recently recovered its vitality.

Did the Venerable Dragon God really have complete faith in this?

He was not concerned about the powers placed within Chong Daqing’s body since she had no clue how to use it even.

It was the same thing as a huge, powerful herbivore that could be killed by prey far smaller in size just because they lacked instinct and skills in hunting.

As for the wicked spirit right before his eyes who had killed countless of lives, it would definitely counterattack if it was to possess such strong powers.

At the end of the day, he was still not in his original form so there were limits to his recovery of powers. Not only were they restricted by the realm’s Heavenly Axiom, but they were also restrained by the original form.

This was completely logical. The powers contained in a sense of spirituality would naturally have its restrictions.

Any original form of its own would never allow the spiritual body double to be too powerful and not restrain it.

Right this moment, Vigilante A continued, “Bodhisattva, you can continue the transfer now.”

“Alright,” Bodhisattva Spirit King nodded in response. He could faintly sense that the wicked spirit was in a dormant state, but if the Venerable Dragon God was not worried, there was nothing for him to worry about.

The other party’s combat gains had already proved this point.

The grey presence rebuilt once more and continued to infuse the marionette-like wicked spirit to Chong Daqing’s body.

After some time, the marionette-like wicked spirit that was already compressed reached the arena’s ceiling once again.

“Hmm, seems like I’ll have to slightly raise the ceilings higher the next time,” Vigilante said as he nodded his head.

“Hahaha, I don’t think you’ll be able to use this place anymore,” the wicked spirit that had become so huge was occupying almost half of the area suddenly let out roars of laughter. “Well, that’s because you’re all going to die soon!”

It flailed its arms around as a strong sense of power presence flowed out everywhere.

“Thank you very much, little Chong! As my reward for you, I’ll eat you last!” It continued to laugh wildly, directed at the tiny, dust-like Chong Daqing who was on the ground.

Chong Daqing’s head bobbed as she rubbed her belly, not a sign of fear displayed on her face.

“You too! I’ve heard you’re some exorcist bodhisattva from the Upper Realm…” The wicked spirit then turned towards Bodhisattva Spirit King and shouted.

“You have so much nonsense to say, but really, you do remind me of this guy…” Vigilante A pointed his finger and the wicked spirit suddenly disappeared.

“It’s a pity we didn’t even get a battle scene…” Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.

“You have so much nonsense to say. You think I’m just like you, pretending when there’s nothing in reality,” Sir System responded loudly.

“Damn, you’ve even learned how to make oblique accusations huh…” Fang Ning was utterly speechless.

“Hehe, Brother Dragon, you’ve really got it all worked out,” Bodhisattva said as he nodded his head, feeling very pleased.

Sure enough, the Venerable Dragon God who was proficient in combat and had killed plenty of evil spirits was definitely not going to make such an amateur mistake.

As for Chong Daqing, she had completely no interest in the entire situation. She rubbed her belly before shouting happily, “Hey, I’m hungry again! Nice! Great Azure Dragon, hurry up and bring out my nine dishes of hot pot, I’d like to eat now.”

“Hold your horses, you can eat after we leave this place. This is not an ideal place to have a meal,” Vigilante said as he shook his head.

This was an arena where battles happened every day, how could one possibly enjoy one’s meal here?

If someone was able to eat here, it would only be a fellow as carefree as Chong Daqing.

The two of them and the insect once again exited the arena.

At the dining table, Chong Daqing was munching away happily whereas Vigilante A consulted Bodhisattva on the Space Control Construction Guide.

After all, space was indeed full of mysteries, so it was best if a skilled professor was guiding.

“The Space Control mainly compresses the void passage to prevent people from sneaking in…” Naturally, Bodhisattva Spirit King shared his information generously and explained.

“Oh, I see. Not bad, not bad at all…” Vigilante A repeatedly nodded just like the most studious student, eager to learn.

“Really, if you have time you should make me a few more of these hot pot dishes, shouldn’t you? I don’t know why you’re just trying to learn from those books that give you massive headaches… I’ve never read any books, but here I am living just well, aren’t I?” Chong Daqing muttered as she devoured the food.

Both of them paid no attention to her at all.

…

At the same time, in the northern Mount Indigo Monastery, two people were discussing the Space Passage.

“Seems like I’ve miscalculated. I didn’t expect that fellow to be so daring. It seems that there’s nothing that he fears,” a lady in white sighed, shaking her head.

Old Master Ma did not dare to respond. He did not expect that when vitality began to shrink, not only did the Venerable Dragon God did not interfere, he did not stir up and conflict regarding the matter either.

Instead, in regards to the Space Passage, he was so dead on opposing this Upper Realm’s immortal.

This immediately made him very uncomfortable with his position on the matter. He just wanted to complement the inheritor, and that was why he listened to the other party’s orders. It was just his method of repaying the other party.

However, that did not mean that he would become a traitor and sell the Earth to the people of the Upper Realm.

“It seems that all of you are afraid of him,” the lady spoke again.

“Well, the Venerable Dragon God’s combat gains are pretty much unparalleled and he’s achieved a lot in cultivation by himself. It also seems that he has never lost a battle,” Old Master Ma tried to answer in a cautious approach.

“Haha, that’s because he’s always had good timing and advantages in both geographical and human conditions. Even during the Upper Realm’s most prosperous period, there were plenty of people who had as powerful powers as him but they have all deteriorated. Their glory was only for a short period. Someone who solely relies on combat power was destined not to last forever,” the lady in white said as she continued shaking her head.

Old Master Ma remained silent as he felt extremely awkward. He was in the grace of both parties, and he was struggling which side to help.

“I’m sure the Venerable One sealed off the Upper Realm passage due to some misunderstandings to comers of Upper Realm. After all, many demons and spirits originate from the Upper Realm, whereas kind people like you, my lady, are so often rare. Moreover, the locals are mostly frail and weak. To be exposed in front of demons, they’d be like children against the wicked wolf. It’s very dangerous, so there ought to be some sort of filter protection,” Old Master Ma quickly explained.

“Well, he may have his own reasons, but I already know the real reason. There’s no need for you to defend him anymore. Since he practiced the Path of Heavenly Punishment, I’m sure he’ll naturally have some restrictions. He’s quite a sad fellow though, he’ll never reach the Great Path. He’ll only be a hero of the moment,” the lady in white said softly.

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry. My lady, the Venerable Dragon God has shown me great kindness once and I’m deeply in debt. Please be understanding, perhaps he might have some reasons too.” Old Master Ma was very clear that this person’s true background was nothing the Venerable Dragon God could simply go against!

Countless holy immortals and Buddhas were hidden before her, so how could a piece of small wasteland such as Earth possibly confront straight on!

His feelings were all tangled up. Guiding was something he did with disdain. He had no other alternatives but to cooperate with the other party as that was his only way out.

To reject blindly would only lead to further interferences, and by that time, perhaps he might just face another major disaster.
