When Ji Yuan boarded the Sky-Devouring Beast, he could clearly feel that this huge monster was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake. Sometimes, even if its eyes were open, it did not necessarily mean that it was really awake.
On the entire Heaven-Swallowing Beast, apart from the people from the Weimei Sect, the only real passengers are Ji Yuan and his group. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast does not only have some buildings on its back, but a larger space is actually in its belly, which can be entered through the pores on its back and the formation of the Weimei Sect above.
Although Ji Yuan felt that the Sky-Devouring Beast had not fully woken up yet, it was clearly becoming active at this moment. It twisted its body slightly, causing the surrounding clouds to rise and fall like waves. Ji Yuan and others stood on the back of the Sky-Devouring Beast, looking at the Yuling Peak below. Hu Yun and others were still waving their hands, but they became more looming because of the thickening of the clouds.
boom…
Just like a giant fish splashing water, the clouds and mist on the top of Yuling Peak shook and exploded all at once, and the Sky-Swallowing Beast swam towards the sky with layers of ripples in the clouds and mist.
This layer of vibration is directly transmitted to Yuling Peak. The people below feel as if there are layers of wind blowing past. Many people with outstanding spiritual perception can also sense a feeling of the ups and downs of their hearts at the spiritual level, just like sitting on a swaying boat, but the feeling disappears in just a breath.
"No matter how many times I ride the Sky Devouring Beast of the Weimei Sect, it's still as stunning!"
Lian Baiping looked at the Yuling Peak which was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, and said with emotion, then turned his gaze to Ji Yuan on the side.
They were in a pavilion on the back of the Sky-Devouring Beast. Although the wind-controlling formation prevented strong winds from blowing here, there was still a gentle breeze.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was neither looking at the Yuling Peak in the distance nor looking anywhere else. Instead, he had his eyes slightly closed, not knowing whether he was thinking or feeling. When his eyes slowly opened, Lian Baiping asked.
"Mr. Ji, this is your first time riding this Sky Devouring Beast, but do you have any special feelings?"
Ji Yuan looked at the several Weimei Sect monks who were also in the pavilion.
"This Sky-Devouring Beast has been sleeping all the time, um, or to be more precise, it has never really woken up?"
Jiang Xueling held the whisk and looked at Ji Yuan. Zhou Xian, who was standing beside him, saw that his master didn't say anything, so he quickly spoke.
"Mr. Ji, you are amazing. The Sky-Swallowing Beast is extremely sleepy and rarely wakes up. This is especially true for Xiao San. I have hardly ever seen Xiao San awake. She is either in a deep sleep or half asleep!"
Ju Yuanzi also seemed to be slightly dazed. He looked at the mist that had always surrounded the Sky-Devouring Beast and had never completely dissipated even when it was swimming, and said thoughtfully.
"The clouds and mist surrounding the Sky Devouring Beast are also produced between its sleep and wakefulness?"
"Master Ju, you are right!"
Zhou Xian smiled, both because she really admired the two masters and also because she was trying to smooth things over for her own master who sometimes had strange reactions.
At this time, Jiang Xueling glanced at Ju Yuanzi and then looked at Ji Yuan, and asked.
"Mr. Ji, do you have any further insights?"
Ji Yuan kept smiling and just shook his head. He didn't have so many so-called deeper insights to say. He was just curious.
"I am just curious, there is no deep meaning."
"Sir, you'll tell me sooner or later."
Jiang Xueling smiled rarely, nodded to Ji Yuan, and then turned and left. Ji Yuan and others were left standing in the pavilion. Zhou Xian, who did not dare to leave with them, looked very embarrassed.
"Mr. Ji, Senior Lian, Master Ju, my Grandmother is straightforward and doesn't mean to be rude. Well, I will accompany you on the Sky Devouring Beast until you are familiar with it..."
"No problem." "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Fortunately, the immortal cultivators present were all true masters of the immortal way. They were open-minded as long as the situation did not involve fundamental disputes. How could they care about such a small matter? Therefore, they did not show any displeasure, which made Zhou Xian breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, since this beast is called Sky Devourer, it must have a huge appetite, right?"
Zhou Xian couldn't help but find it funny and explained.
"Mr. Ji, the Sky-Swallowing Beast got its name mainly because of its huge size. The person who first named it was shocked by its size. In fact, the Sky-Swallowing Beast mainly feeds on the essence of the sun and the moon and spiritual energy. It doesn't eat much tangible things."
"Yes, Ji has heard of it."
Ji Yuan smiled again and was about to turn around and leave.
"Let's go inside the Sky Devouring Beast and let me see what's inside its belly."
"Okay, then I'll lead the way!" "Everyone, please!"
"please!"
Zhou Xian led the way in front, and several people followed behind. Ju Yuanzi, Lian Baiping and Ji Yuan were closer, and they obviously noticed that Ji Yuan had slowly closed his eyes while walking, with only a slit opened. But in a sense, Mr. Ji was a blind person, and most of the time his eyes were not opened very wide, so they didn't think much about it.
At this moment, after trying several times, Ji Yuan was also in a state of being both awake and asleep, just like the state of Xiao San, the Sky-Swallowing Beast, but the degree of deep and shallow sleep was still different. Ji Yuan was still trying.
"Everyone, let's go in through Xiaosan's air hole this time!"
Zhou Xian led everyone to a huge hole above the head of the Sky-Devouring Beast. Several bluestone roads converged here, forming several circles on the periphery.
This huge hole is calm and peaceful, with no wind or rain, and coupled with the thick skin of the Sky-Devouring Beast, it looks like a bottomless sinkhole. However, there is a faint fluorescent light flashing in it. If you look closely, you will find that the fluorescent light seems to converge into a spiral road, extending forever.
"Everyone please, uh, Mr. Ji seems to be asleep?"
Ji Yuan didn't say anything. Lian Baiping and Ju Yuanzi looked at each other, and the latter said.
"It's okay, sir, he's just resting his eyes. I'll go."
Zhou Xian looked at Ji Yuan in confusion, and when the other party nodded slightly, she led everyone down with a smile.
Traveling through the huge tiankeng of the Sky-Devouring Beast, there was no reaction from any formation and no feeling of weightlessness, but when walking to a road connecting to the bottom, a daylight-like light appeared in front of us, and a special world could be seen in the distance. In the surrounding fog, there was a suspended island, and on it there was a beautiful scene of mountains and clear waters.
At this moment, Ji Yuan not only closed his eyes and walked with the crowd, but a wisp of thought was also wandering in the sky.
Once, twice, three times... I don't know how many times I tried, but dreamwalking has never been so difficult. Even something as absurd as unfolding the world in the book was successful for Ji Yuan.
After a long time, Ji Yuan opened his eyes again with a dream, and everything in front of him had changed. He was flying in the wind with a big fish beside him.
The big fish was wrapped in layers of mist, jumping and swimming in it, just like swimming and jumping in the water. Ji Yuan himself was riding the wind to chase the big fish.
This big fish was none other than the Sky-Swallowing Beast's mistress. However, compared to the Sky-Swallowing Beast's real body that was as huge as a mountain, in Ji Yuan's eyes, the Sky-Swallowing Beast at this moment was just a fish that was half an arm's length. It was not small as a fish, but it was definitely not as big as the Sky-Swallowing Beast.
Then Ji Yuan glanced around and into the distance, and saw mountains and ridges passing by before his eyes. They did not look very majestic. At this moment, Ji Yuan's heart suddenly moved. It was not that the Sky-Devouring Beast had become smaller, but that he, Ji Yuan, had become bigger in this magical dream of the Sky-Devouring Beast, or perhaps, it was the manifestation of the Dharma.
“Mmmmm…”
The Sky-Devouring Beast leaped forward, emitting a cheerful cry, and the clouds around it seemed to be growing larger and larger at this moment, gradually covering the mountains and rivers below and turning into a sea of clouds. The clouds were really like an ocean, with waves constantly jumping up and down and tides rolling.
"Hua La La..."
The movement of the Sky-Devouring Beast even caused a sound of waves, but Ji Yuan followed it leisurely.
"Boom..."
A huge wave exploded from the misty waves, and a four-clawed, scaly monster that looked extremely ferocious jumped out of the sea. Of course, in Ji Yuan's eyes at this moment, although the monster was very clear, it seemed a little smaller and looked like a mouse. However, compared to itself, it was definitely not a small animal.
"Mmmmm..."
Xiao San seemed extremely excited at the moment, and tried hard to catch up with the monster, while the latter seemed to have just discovered the Sky-Devouring Beast. After a roar, it fled in panic, even faster than the Sky-Devouring Beast, leaving a long distance behind.
"Mmmmm... Mmmmm..."
"Ji will help you!"
Seeing that Xiao San seemed unable to catch up, Ji Yuan smiled, reached out and scooped up a handful of cloudy sea water, stepped forward on the cloud and put his hand in the air. Seeing this, Xiao San jumped up and landed on Ji Yuan's palm, and hit Ji Yuan's palm and the cloud with his tail hard.
Ji Yuan shook his palm, and the next moment, the Sky-Swallowing Beast Xiao San's speed increased rapidly, turning into a white rainbow trailing clouds and mist, rapidly approaching the monster in front. Although it still did not catch up, it seemed to have approached the right distance and then opened its mouth.
brush…
In the vast space ahead, the clouds and mist rolled back like an overturned ocean, and even the sky light rolled over. Ji Yuan only felt that the sky around him darkened, and the vast space in front of the Sky-Devouring Beast's mouth, which was more than a semicircle, became even darker.
Boom…
With a slight vibration, in just a few breaths of time, everything in a considerable area in front of him had been swallowed into Xiao San's mouth, naturally including the monster.
“Woo~~~~”
The Sky-Devouring Beast made a joyful sound, while Ji Yuan behind it stared blankly, as if he had not yet recovered from the previous scene. In Ji Yuan's eyes, this huge Sky-Devouring Beast looked vaguely like the shadow of a sleeve.
The experience of repeatedly deducing the world in his sleeves; the old dragon using his claws to grab people; the old beggar using magic to form a mountain to suppress the fox demon; the sharp edge of the Tianqing sword hanging in the air and carrying the throne of heaven and earth; the scene of the world in the belly of the swallowing beast swallowing the sky in one gulp...
"The Heavenly Sword uses the power of heaven and earth to kill the heart, and the Sleeve of Heaven and Earth uses the power of heaven and earth to shrink the body... To use the power of heaven and earth, you must have the power of heaven and earth... Once you open your mouth, the sky will be dark..."
There has never been such a moment, never like this moment, that made Ji Yuan feel so close to the magical power of the world in his sleeve.
