Chapter 440: Chapter 192: The Strange Power on Mist Island_3
“No, that’s not right. A Small World does have an entrance, indeed, but the whole world shouldn’t be projected outside,” Jian Ruyu shook her head. Since the Divine Sword Sect possessed a Small World, Jian Ruyu had the authority to speak on the subject.
Liu Ningshuang furrowed her brows, “Then how is this possible?”
Jian Ruyu shook her head, “I don’t know either. I’ve always felt there’s something very strange about this place…”
Jian Ruyu shrunk her neck slightly, feeling a chill.
Yun Xi looked around, then turned to Lu Yi, “Lu Yi, what should we do?”
Lu Yi gazed deep into Mist Island, pondered for a moment, and then sensed the presence of powerful Fierce Beasts within. But so far, none had given him the impression of extreme danger. For the short term, there should be no threat.
...
Moreover, since Brother Jiang Fan and the others could enter the forest, it indicated that the path ahead was not dangerous, and they could proceed to check it out.
With this thought, Lu Yi spoke up, “Let’s walk further inside. However, you three must follow me closely and stay alert for safety.”
The three—Liu Ningshuang included—nodded in agreement.
Leading the way, Lu Yi with the Sword Tao Law circulating around him, ventured deeper into the island.
The trees within the island were tall and massive, their dense canopies obscuring the sunlight, making the inside dim and gloomy.
But the group of four could see in the dark, feeling nothing amiss.
Along the way, they did encounter some Fierce Beasts, but these creatures were weak, merely at the Golden Core Realm and posed no danger to them.
What surprised them, however, was that the forest was teeming with treasures. Precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were found everywhere, prompting gasps of amazement from the three of Jian Ruyu.
“This is Ice Spirit Grass!”
“Earth Essence Stone!”
“Isn’t this the Ten-thousand-year-old Purple Sunflower?! Even such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are here?”
“There are so many treasures here? It’s as if they are scattered on the ground for people to pick up.”
All three found it hard to believe.
Even Lu Yi was stunned. Although these items were insignificant to him, the sheer abundance was startling. These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would be fiercely contested for if placed outside.
Previously, Brother Jiang Fan and the other two had obtained some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, which allowed Tie Man and Bai Yulong to grasp Conception and rise to prominence.
As the four pushed on, the Fierce Beasts’ strength grew, as did the preciousness of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they contained.
However, Lu Yi now sensed a palpitation-inducing presence emanating from a great distance, growing stronger as the group drew closer.
Not only Lu Yi felt this sensation, but Liu Ningshuang and the others did as well.
Being significantly less powerful than Lu Yi, they turned pale and horror flickered in their eyes as they sensed this aura.
“Such a powerful presence…”
“What kind of aura is that? It feels like one could die at any moment.”
All four immediately halted their steps.
Liu Ningshuang glanced at a corpse on the ground, a pitch-black panther with a Cultivation Base at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
She expressed her astonishment, “This panther is so weak— how does it manage to survive here?”
Lu Yi and the others were similarly puzzled.
“Indeed, not just this panther, there are many more Fierce Beast presences inside with not such high Cultivation Bases. How do they manage to live inside?” Yun Xi was immensely curious.
Jian Ruyu speculated, “Could it be that these Fierce Beasts have always lived here, so they are accustomed to it?”
However, nobody knew for certain, finding it very strange.
Just then, a hint of black fog suddenly arose around Yun Xi, whose cultivation base was the weakest.
Soon, black patterns began to creep onto Yun Xi’s snowy body, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
Lu Yi’s face changed slightly, “Yun Xi, what’s wrong?”
“I…I feel so uncomfortable.” A Green Lotus mark condensed between Yun Xi’s brows while streams of Tao Light revolved around her, resisting the black fog. Despite this effort, she was still unable to fully block it, and the black patterns slowly began to appear on Yun Xi’s face.
Black fog gradually emerged on Senior Sister Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang as well.
Lu Yi furrowed his brows, swept up the three of them, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished on the spot, moving towards the outside. It didn’t take long before they arrived at the beach.
The black fog on Senior Sister Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang started to dissipate, and the fog around Yun Xi also became much fainter, with the black patterns on her body no longer spreading. Accompanied by the flash of the Tao Light belonging to the Ten Thousand Flower Immortal Body, the black patterns were slowly being erased.
However, the process was extremely slow.
Lu Yi furrowed his brows, took Yun Xi’s hand, and a flow of Spiritual Energy infused with the Power of Tao rushed into Yun Xi’s body.
He felt a profound yet chaotic power entangling inside Yun Xi, trying to fully invade her flesh.
What kind of power is this? Lu Yi was somewhat astonished.
He sensed that this power was extremely strong, yet eerily peculiar.
As a possessor of the Ten Thousand Flower Immortal Body, Yun Xi had an incredibly strong physical foundation, which was resisting the invasion and was slowly eliminating this power.
Naturally, Lu Yi was not going to stand idly by. As his Spiritual Energy surged in, the Power of Tao rippled and rushed towards the strange force.
At the touch of the Power of Tao, the enigmatic force dissipated as quickly as bubbles.
Lu Yi was a bit surprised, but then quickly realized that the Power of Tao far surpasses ordinary Spiritual Energy, even the energy within an Immortal Body like Yun Xi’s was incomparable.
If even Yun Xi’s Spiritual Energy could erase such a power, the Power of Tao was naturally even more effortless.
As the Power of Tao flowed into Yun Xi’s body, the bizarre force rapidly dispersed and was finally completely eradicated, and the black patterns on her body dissipated as well.
Still somewhat anxious, Lu Yi used Spiritual Energy to thoroughly sift through Yun Xi’s body once more, and seeing there were no lingering effects, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Xi opened her eyes, looking somewhat weak.
Senior Sister Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang at her side wore looks of concern, watching Yun Xi.
“Yun Xi, how are you? Are you alright?” Senior Sister Ruyu asked. She and Liu Ningshuang had been practicing Dual Cultivation with Lu Yi for over a decade, closer than even real sisters, so seeing Yun Xi like this, she was very worried.
Yun Xi frowned and said, “I’m fine now.”
Liu Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
Lu Yi asked, “Yun Xi, what happened just now?”
Yun Xi shook her head, “I don’t know either. Suddenly, I heard chaotic voices near my ears, and then terrifying thoughts appeared in my mind as if something eerie wanted to reincarnate inside me.”
This made all three of them furrow their brows.
Senior Sister Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang looked at each other. Liu Ningshuang said gravely, “Just now, I also felt intermittent and chaotic voices arising in my mind, making me feel very uncomfortable.”

Senior Sister Ruyu nodded in agreement, “Me too.”
Lu Yi, remembering that both had traces of black fog around them before leaving, narrowed his eyes.
It seems there’s some issue with the thing inside. Senior Sister Ruyu and Sister Liu are both powerful, and as Immortal Bodies, for them to experience such strange sensations…
What exactly is inside there?
As Lu Yi pondered, a crack suddenly appeared in the nearby sky, and the next moment, a figure slowly emerged from the rift.
