Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 188

188 Something is not right

When the gang had set off to Wang’s territory, he was busy cultivating and didn’t even know about it.

“Boss, what are where are we arresting people this time? ” someone from the crew couldn’t help but ask.

In any way, if the individual they were going after was not strong, then just one person would have accomplished the task.

And Wang that was being targeted had no idea that someone had designs on the ‘chance’ he had that could allow him to escape from the secret realm unscathed.

But that was not all, from the very beginning it seemed that he looked down on the chance in rhe secret realm, this the only reasonable explanation was that he had something better than it.

But the moment he left the secret realm, he was already suspicious of the reason he was dragged into the place in the first place.

He remembered the time he discovered the ruin and doesn’t continue to venture into them due to the fear of other creatures discovering him.

At this point, he was already aware that the water in this world was too deep, and his previous thoughts couldn’t accommodate him.

So he decisively also started to focus on supernatural power comprehension.

.....

With the assistance of the bodhi tree, it was as though he was drinking cool water.

His imagination was already quite good and thus the speed at which he comprehended supernatural power abilities faster because of it.

In a way, he had already figured out something important in the process of utilizing such abilities.

On the other hand, his potential was high enough to accommodate this, otherwise, it would be almost impossible to accomplish it.

In the same way, he dedicated some time daily to the formation after all his security was a consideration.

As they traveled towards the area with huge forests but could feel a very oppressive atmosphere in the direction the map pointed them.

Their expressions couldn’t help but sink, as from the distance, one could feel the sky above them was already very gloomy and at any time, might be attacked.

It was not some kind of illusion, but the pressure seemed to have been released by some supreme creatures sleeping in the forest to deter other creatures from approaching.

Moreover, it was already bad that they come to this region with bad intentions, but this made their speed showdown.

Regardless of how they looked at it, this was the territory of some supreme creatures, and crossing into it is no different from seeking death.

Furthermore, the heaven and earth formation by Wang seemed to have made their territory merge into the surrounding environment perfectly.

In a way, even the projection couldn’t locate it at all. At the same time, associating the connection being cut off when spying on the territory to the supreme aura.

At this point continuing toward would be no different than seeking death.

To use it requires the permission of several members and thus the projection of number seven was already aware this was impossible.

“Damn, why didn’t I realize this before, that place was too inconspicuous, but he didn’t seem to resemble any of the supreme beings I heard of. Unless it is a new one. Things seem to be getting more and more touchy.” The projection was in a state of fury.

It had to be careful in this situation as every careless move could end up bringing trouble upon its actual soul body.

Not only that but coming into contact with supreme creatures was not a good thing for it.

But the remnant soul protection still managed to control itself looking in that direction with some bitterness in its heart.

It was not hard to take that step but that was a provocation, and couldn’t be taken back.

Worse, the supreme being wouldn’t probably care about it, and just one attack could probably also reach its actual body.

The means of supreme are scary and thus smart to avoid causing trouble for them.

The gang it had used to go attack Wang might be stronger but in front of the huge area, a head’s they were more kike ants.

Regardless of the means used, they would eventually end up crashing into the supreme creatures around this region.

The projection decisively withdrew knowing that the group wouldn’t be capable of surviving this.

And any offense on a supreme being would lead to death, as they could easily locate the actual soul body and destroy it even from the distance.

After all, they had already started to see the direction of borrowing from nature.

On the other side, in the void above the ruins, several figures were checking everything that was happening in the secret realm indifferently.

“Second brother! The seventh brother has been acting weird recently. Do you think he will mess up our plans?” One of the tenant souls seemed very concerned.

“Haha! Do you know why I never bothered to include that fool in our plans? It’s not because he is not as ambitious as us or scheming, it’s just that he is always short-sighted. From the moment we were saved and sent into this ruin to extend our lives with the condition of never being capable of regaining freedom, I observed him. Among us, he is someone that can be said to have no plans when he acts.

His actions only seem to think about the next moment but lack any future considerations. Like now he is probably still fixed on some target thinking it’s his chance.” The remnant soul of the second brother was very contemptuous of the seventh brother.

And the rest also become relieved upon realizing this. With that troublemaker being busy with something, they can implement their plans without any concerns.

“Okay stop bothering about him, currently we have some luck, due to the power that appeared in the secret realm that time disrupting the operations of the ruins, we got a chance to let our spirit escape from the binds of the ruins, but out lifespans have also started to decrease. We don’t have long, but if our plans succeed, what about losing some lifespan? We could have a chance to continue the path we couldn’t have in the future.” The leader was so excited.

But at the same time, he looked further into the ruins with some apprehension.

“We don’t have long and have to make preparations fast. Each of you can tell hiw strong your first brother is. Had he not been in deep sleep, we could have been suppressed before even attempting anything. It seems that that old remnant soul knew us well. In the end, he even left some backhands to suppress us all.” The words made all of them very unhappy. Remembering something unhappy.

“Second brother let’s not discuss this at all, back then that old thing hid deep enough, we thought he was helping us, who would have thought he was just looking for slaves.”

Another dissatisfied voice sounded.

“What slaves? Even though slaves have some dignity, that old thing didn’t plan to let us go at all. Just look at our state now, every time the secret realm opens, after a massive number of people are attracted, our souls would improve in power someone has used some demonic technique on us. Look at first brother! He no longer even recognized us? It can only be said that he trusted that thing too much, and now even his personality is being erased slowly.”

In a world of cultivation where everyone is selfish, why would some old man suddenly become benevolent?

The group had no intersection of relations with him before, yet he saved their remnant souls from death.

Which situation could prompt one to be so selfless for people they didn’t even know.

This situation alone made the second brother suspicious and aware of the crisis especially seeing his soul being strengthened, how could gains come from nothing?

This allowed him to survive and when other groups come they were lucky to not be seriously affected like the first remnant soul in the ruins, and also the strongest.

Due to the second brother, the group managed to find some ways to retain some of their memory and become aware of this place’s problem.

The seventh brother came late and has yet to be seriously affected by the issue.

It is also the reason he is not taken seriously by the group.

In the end, the seven of them survived but didn’t get corresponding benefits such as the first brother of theirs

He ended up becoming even more powerful but at the same started to become more and more amnesiac.

This was a sign he had started to suffer the consequences and it wasn’t long before he even forgot his name from time to time.

“Could it be.. the second brother, do you want to also restore the first brother’s state with that thing? But it is very risky to go in there in our current state. Moreover, ..” The voice didn’t continue but mentioned the people in the secret realm especially the three men inside.

Their strength was terrifying even for the current second brother with only a soul state.

Going against them would not result in any good end at all. But the second brother didn’t lie his eyes on the group in the secret realm at all.

“Back then, I wondered about some things, and only after some opening of the ruins several times and words from the first brother did I notice something odd. The real treasure is not in the secret realm, but a projection. At that time I didn’t understand fully anything until witnessing the slaughter and flow of blood energy absorbed by the secret realm.” As though thinking of something scary.

“In the end, we are just like ingredients, our souls seem to be improved to a higher level yet than even when we had physical bodies, but a huge problem comes into play. Doesn’t everyone realize that despite our strong soul growth we have lost the ability to cast or even use laws?” This statement science everyone.

OffOfficersew this and in the ruins having a formation was enough and some assumed it had something to do with the ruins, but now it seemed it was not the case.
