Chapter 164.1
During the engagement ceremony held at the Light Temple in the Golden Leaf Imperial City, Qi Bei, while gazing into the eyes of the divine statue, experienced a moment of trance. He felt as if a gentle gaze from a distant void penetrated through countless layers of time and space, just like the gaze of the green-clothed woman.
Goddess of Life! Qi Bei murmured, realizing that the green-clothed woman who aided him in escaping the illusory world was actually the Goddess of Life.
Indeed, that painting. Perhaps the green-clothed woman in the painting carried a strand of the Goddess of Lifes consciousness. Thats what Qi Bei thought.
After the green-clothed woman dispersed into countless specks of light, Qi Bei clearly felt that his soul had grown stronger.
He continued to move forward, and with each step, the surrounding light points followed and encircled him.
After walking a distance, Qi Bei once again encountered the massive cluster of light that appeared in his dream. In the previous dream, his consciousness delved into it, where he encountered five individuals who claimed to be from the five Holy Lands and referred to him as a senior.
Approaching the massive cluster of light, Qi Bei could clearly see the five individuals this time. Just by looking at them, he could sense the vast and terrifying aura emanating from their bodies. These five individuals possessed astonishing power.
Senior, Senior is it you who has arrived? Just then, the breathtakingly beautiful woman in a fiery red dress spoke, and the other four immediately woke up from their cultivation, their expressions expectant yet nervous.
The little girls perception is quite sensitive. Not bad, it is indeed this deity, Qi Beis ethereal voice transmitted into the enclosed space.
Senior, the junior is Feng Xianer, the Palace Master of the Phoenix Perching Palace. Please save us, senior, said the stunning woman.
The Palace Master of the Phoenix Perching Palace, one of the five Holy Lands. Qi Bei couldnt help but be shocked. Each of them was at the level of a Saint.
The junior is Leng Gu, the Valley Master of the Frost Ice Valley. Please save us, senior, Leng Gu also spoke.
The junior is Rong Xiaoxi, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Mountain Peak, the old woman said.
The junior is Feng Qingyang, the Supreme Elder of the Dream Sea, the Crazy Elder spoke.
The junior is Yu Qinghu from the Beast Manor, Yu Qinghu said tremblingly.
You youngsters, it is not this deity who wants to absorb the power of your souls, but this deity wants to absorb this space. However, I didnt expect that the space and your souls would be connected, Qi Bei said lightly, without even blinking his eyes while telling a lie.
Senior, save us! We are willing to offer all our treasures, Yu Qinghou shouted. He was the weakest among them and couldnt bear the torment in this space, where a day felt like a hundred years.
Indeed, within this space, in just a few dozen days, they all felt as if a hundred years had passed.
Treasures! Qi Beis eyes lit up.
However, at that moment, Qi Bei felt a splitting headache, as if he had indigestion after directly absorbing the soul power of five of them.
I have other matters to attend to. Well talk next time, Qi Bei said, retracting his consciousness. Suddenly, his soul shook, and he returned to the real world.
Qi Bei immediately focused his mind and began to integrate the portion of soul power that didnt belong to him.
Soul integration is not a straightforward process since each persons soul is different. Its not something that can be absorbed at will. It took Qi Bei a full two days to completely integrate the soul power of the five Saint experts.
Qi Bei heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. He felt a surge in his sea of consciousness at the center of his eyebrows, as if it had condensed into a vortex.
It was already late at night outside. Qi Bei stood by the window and looked out. Apart from two magical lamps at the entrance of the Sunset Royal Academy across the street, everything inside was pitch-black and silent.
Qi Beis consciousness spread out, and the vortex in the center of eyebrows instantly surged forward at a speed ten times faster than before.
Just then, he sensed three golden points. One was in the Western City District, and the other two were inside the Sunset Royal Academy.
They were the three women marked by his Dragon Mark: the Beauty Scorpion, Huo Siqin, and Feng Ruoyu. Huo Siqin and Feng Ruoyu were in the academy across the street.
This was a pleasant surprise for Qi Bei. He had never been able to sense them so clearly before. Now, he could even pinpoint their exact locations.
He thought for a moment and suddenly leaped from the window ledge, silently entering the Sunset Royal Academy. Despite his approach, the diligent guards remained completely unaware.
