Could the array method be obstructing the teleportation? That seemed highly unlikely, as Elder Dan God had previously assured him with total confidence that he could enter the secret realm at any time within Heng Yuan World and couldn’t possibly be hindered by an array method.
At this moment, something occurred to him, and he once again formed a spell with his hands, simultaneously saying with a steady voice: “Elder Dan God, I want to enter the Secret Realm.’
After all, he was currently outside the Secret Realm. He made the spell, but he would definitely still need Elder Dan God’s consent to initiate the teleportation, just like knocking on someone’s door before entering their house.
Just as he spoke, a pathway of rosy clouds appeared before him. However, there didn’t seem to be any form of breath escaping from it, entirely different from when the Dan God Secret Realm officially opened before.
Lin Yi promptly stepped into the passage and within a moment of being in a trance, he had found himself in the earth element area of the Dan God Secret Realm. This area was a vast desert, with an extremely hot environment, and only a few plants could be seen as far as the eye could reach.
It seemed as though he had activated the Secret Realm Array Method’s random teleportation mechanism upon entering.
Forming the teleportation spell, he arrived at the first medicine garden in the earth element area. This garden was located in an oasis amidst the desert. The Spirit Grass was planted in the sandy soil next to the oasis, where it absorbed an abundance of earth elements.
Following this, Lin Yi refrained from checking the other gardens and instead teleported himself to the Wood Element area – over the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. He looked around, but found no sign of the Green Giant Python, probably resting within the Giant Spirit Tree, he guessed.
In the empty area of the herb garden, he saw the small table where he had previously left food for the Green Giant Python. It was still standing there, making him smile a little.
After this, he opened the title panel and checked the Spirit Pet Column. Zhi
Lings image still displayed there. In his mind, he thought of releasing Zhi Ling, and in the next moment, Zhi Ling appeared in his hands.
Coming out of the small space suddenly, a look of panic flashed across Zhi Lings face. However, as it looked around its surroundings, its face filled with curiosity.
Lin Yi led it to the edge of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, from where they could see the far-off view as well as the layers of clouds below.
Zhi Ling clung onto his clothes with one paw, while its body leaned outwards, constantly gazing down, showing absolutely no fear of heights.
Suddenly, a gigantic green snakehead appeared before their eyes, causing Zhi
Lings body to rigid. Its eyes bulged wide open, and the paw which was previously clenching onto his clothes instantly relaxed. It had clearly lost control of its entire body.
Lin Yi quickly grabbed Zhi Ling, watching the enormous snakehead gradually emerging from below. He couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh. He really hadn’t anticipated that Senior Python would suddenly pop out.
The Green Giant Python swam its massive body up to the herb garden, the top half of its body standing tall, looking like a towering giant.
Upon recovering, Zhi Ling’s face still carried a hint of fear. Nevertheless, it leapt down without hesitation, standing in front of Lin Yi.
With its paw, it removed the little cap from its forehead, revealing the pink mark below, and then it deployed its illusion ability. The pink mark on top instantly became brighter.
However, the Green Giant Python showed no reaction at all. Its enormous snakehead slowly lowered to Zhi Lings height and gazed at it with a cold stare.
“Jijiji.” Zhi Ling cried out in fear. The bravery it previously had vanished right away. It turned around, crawled unto Lin Yi’s body, and hid inside the pocket of his clothes.
Lin Yi smiled, lightly patting the pocket, then turned to the Green Giant
Python and said with a cupped fist, “Senior Spirit Beast, this is my Spiritual
Pet. It’s rather timid, I hope you don’t mind.”
The Green Giant Python gave no response, instead, it reached the edge of the medicine garden and curled up its body, its eyes squinting.
“Senior, this is a token of my respect for you.” Lin Yi took out the food he had prepared from his Storage Bag, including two big chunks of sweet ice cream.
He made this using his freeze spell along with milk and some other ingredients. The milk was freshly squeezed from the Spirit Cow raised inside Liu Yun Sect.
The Green Giant Python sniffed lightly, sucked in the two pieces of ice cream, and seemed to nod contently.
“Zhi Ling, come out, this is Senior Spirit Beast. It won’t harm you.” said Lin Yi as he patted the pocket lightly and spoke to Zhi Ling.
Zhi Ling peeked its head out, glanced at the Green Giant Python, and retreated back into the pocket.
Lin Yi smiled. He couldn’t really blame Zhi Ling for being afraid. The Green Giant Python really did look terrifying. Snakes and martens might be natural enemies, but that also depended on their sizes. Encountering such a huge python, it was almost impossible for Zhi Ling, with its tiny size, not to be scared.
“Zhi Ling, don’t you also want to protect me? You can’t be so afraid.” He attempted to provoke her into action.
Hearing this, Zhi Ling slowly crawled out of her pouch, even gathering enough courage to raise her head and look at the Green Giant Python. However, when faced with its cold gaze, she quickly backed down.
Seeing this, Lin Yi chuckled and patted Zhi Ling. He then bowed again, “Senior
Spirit Beast, I have something to activate. If it poses any danger, I implore you to help.”
Seeing the Green Giant Python nod once more, he retrieved a paper man from his storage bag. The man painted on it had a clean and clear appearance more like a skin man than a paper man.
He found paper men very strange. Even though they were like dead things with no life force, there could still be danger lurking within.
Moreover, the abilities of the Flower Thief, such as the Divine Shadow Dharma, the paper man – all were learned from his master. This also included the paper man in the guise of the Flower Thief. It must have been made by his master. An ordinary cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage couldn’t possibly make it successfully.
So, the question arises, was there no sense of crisis for the master of such a bizarre sect with unlimited escape abilities? There had to be a fallback, he could not have allowed himself to be easily manipulated and murdered by this guy through his enemies.
First, Lin Yi put on the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy”. The Mercy Shield could protect against all ghost attacks. Also, he had left one slot open to switch to [Burst Out] and enter the berserk state at any time.
As long as he entered this state, even those at the Golden Core Stage could not hold him back.
He gently touched Zhi Ling on his shoulder and said, “Zhi Ling, you go in first. I’ll let you out later.”
After he’d spoken, he put Zhi Ling away with a mere thought, of course, he still pretended to use a Spirit Pet Bag.
After taking safety measures, Lin Yi raised his hands towards the sky and bowed again, “Elder Dan God, I request that you stand by to ensure our safety.”
Then, he put the paper man on the ground and began to infuse spiritual power into it. Such weird things could not be directly stimulated by touching with hands.
However, once his spiritual power had been infused, it was bounced back out as if it wasn’t accepted. This reaction was not mentioned in any book.
The book only warned that one could only infuse Divine Sense into the paper man that resembled themselves. It didn’t mention that infusing spiritual energy from others won’t activate the paper man.
Lin Yi looked at the Exorcism Charm Scrolls on the paper man. Perhaps they were the cause. He made more precautions as he thought about it.
Then, using the Object Manipulation Spell, he removed all the Exorcism Charm Scrolls one by one before infusing the spiritual power again.
This time, there was a response. The paper man began to swell and inflate like a balloon once spiritual power was infused into it. The skin slowly took on the texture of a real person’s skin.
The original painting on the paper man took on 3-dimensional features due to the swelling of the body.
Because it was placed flat on the ground, the inflating body looked just like a person lying down.
After a while, the flat paper man transformed into a realistic human. It almost looked as though the Flower Thief himself had resurrected, with skin and all that seemed full of elasticity.
However, this paper man didn’t have the breath of a living person.
Even after the complete activation, the paper man remained still.
Yet, Lin Yi didn’t rush. He waited patiently – in terms of patience, he would not lose to anyone.
After a while, it seemed that the paper man was running out of patience. Its initially closed eyes suddenly sprung open, and it stood up.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi activated a charm that he had removed earlier and suspended in mid-air. The Exorcism Charm flew toward the paper man.
The paper man just laughed out loud, allowing the Exorcism Charm to stick to its body, “Hahaha, finally out. I was suffocating inside, kid, I’m not a wicked creature now..”
