Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed and merged into the blue-gray mist. He had no intention of confronting the soul head-on, but the soul obviously did not intend to let him go and rushed directly towards his position.
"The soul has left the range of the formation and can no longer be sensed." Yang Qi sighed inwardly.
He was able to sense the soul entirely because of the formation he had set up in advance. Now that the soul had left the range of the formation, he could no longer sense the soul's location, but the soul could continue to track him.
In desperation, Yang Qi had to arrange a shadow clone behind him to expand the range of perception and prevent the arrival of souls, which would cause situations that he could not detect.
Time passed by minute by minute as Yang Qi was avoiding the soul. It was unknown how much time had passed before the shadow clone who was responsible for the outer perimeter security finally noticed the arrival of the soul.
"There's no escape."
As the soul appeared, Yang Qi realized that he could not avoid it. If he continued to dodge, he would lose his shadow clone, which was obviously unacceptable to him.
Whoosh~
Thinking of this, Yang Qi's figure flashed, and he immediately rushed to the location where the soul appeared, ready to kill the soul. The strength of this soul was similar to the previous soul. Because of the experience of the previous fight, Yang Qi could judge the opponent's approximate strength just from the soul aura.
Relying on his previous experience, Yang Qi's consumption was obviously less this time when facing the soul. He killed the soul very smoothly and obtained the special soul bead.
"My soul has become stronger, and there are also some memory fragments." Feeling the changes in himself, Yang Qi couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
Most treasures that can strengthen the soul slowly nourish the soul, but soul beads directly strengthen the soul. Not only is the effect more significant, it also takes less time.
"Let's leave here first." Yang Qi suppressed his excitement, then moved and rushed back to the area he had already passed through.
Yang Qi had no idea whether there were other souls in those unfamiliar areas, but he had not encountered any souls in the areas he had passed through, which meant that they were relatively safe. Now that six hours had not passed, the safest thing to do was to go back.
Yang Qi returned to the place where he appeared again, and at the same time scattered in all directions, using the formation set up by the formation plate. However, this time, it was no longer a simple perception formation, but there were also some trapping formations. He not only had to know the appearance of the soul, but also had to use the formation to slightly block the soul, in preparation for subsequent practice in the vicinity.
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, a helpless look flashed across Yang Qi's face, and he muttered to himself, "Unfortunately, the ground is too hard. It will take a lot of time to open up a space underground."
Originally, Yang Qi was planning to open up a space underground, but when he tried to dig, he found that the ground was extremely hard, like a Taoist soldier. Although Yang Qi's strength and the help of the Black Phoenix Sword made it possible to dig, the digging process was not only noisy, but it was also extremely time-consuming to open up a space sufficient for cultivation.
After discovering this, Yang Qi had no choice but to give up. After all, his time to stay in this space was limited. If he spent a month or two digging out a space for cultivation, it would be a waste of time.
Unable to dig out a suitable space for cultivation underground, he could only stay on the ground. So Yang Qi came up with the idea of using formations as a means of perception and defense.
The origin of this space is extremely rich, so it is naturally easy to activate the formation. However, Yang Qi handed over the control of these formations to the shadow clone. After all, after spending the dangerous six hours, the original body also needs to practice, and it is impossible for him to observe the formation all the time.
As time passed, Yang Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Six hours have passed."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qi immediately tried to communicate with the Origin Mark in his body. Of course, he didn't want to use the Origin Mark to leave, but he wanted to test whether the Origin Mark was really as the figure said before.
“As long as the origin mark is activated, you can leave.” After communicating with the origin mark, Yang Qi immediately confirmed that as long as the origin mark is activated, he can leave this space.
Phew~
After confirming this, Yang Qi was obviously relieved. If he really encountered some irresistible danger in this space, he could also use the Origin Mark to leave and save his life.
"Finally, there is a way out."
A smile appeared on Yang Qi's face. Before, when he had no way out, he was very careful in everything he did, for fear of attracting more souls. Now that he had a way out, he didn't need to be so cautious.
Wow~
Yang Qi moved his hand, activated a formation plate, and directly set up a formation. This formation has the effect of resisting soul attacks. Although it is not particularly strong, it can also play a role.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The dark beetle flew out from Yang Qi's body, and the Black Phoenix Sword was inserted into the ground beside him. Yang Qi's real body began to sit cross-legged and practice the Source God Scripture.
Buzz~
As one man, one bug and one sword began to practice, the origins from all around immediately began to converge towards Yang Qi as the center. The dark beetle suddenly let out a cheerful cry from its mouth, and the Black Phoenix Sword also trembled slightly, emitting a low sword sound.
Before, Yang Qi's main body had not practiced, so the Dark Beetle could only absorb the essence by itself, and the same was true for the Black Phoenix Sword. But now that Yang Qi was running the Source Divine Scripture, the essences around him gathered together, and the essences near Yang Qi became richer, and the Dark Beetle and the Black Phoenix Sword also benefited a lot, which was why the Dark Beetle and the Black Phoenix Sword were so excited.
“It’s worthy of being the origin of the endless universe. I can feel my life level constantly improving. It’s faster than the Heart of the World, or even when I was fusing the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix in the alien universe controlled by the Ancestral Phoenix.” Feeling the changes in himself, Yang Qi was also extremely surprised. The effect of practicing in this space was so obvious. It was simply a blessed place for practicing the Source God Canon.
Noticing these changes, Yang Qi immediately calmed his mind and devoted all his energy to practicing the Source God Scripture. Time passed rapidly during his practice.
"Are you here?"
Just when Yang Qi was immersed in his practice, he suddenly felt the information conveyed by the shadow clone that a soul had appeared, and there was more than one, this time there were two souls!
Yang Qi opened his eyes slightly, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Fortunately, the two souls are not together here, otherwise it would be troublesome."
Through the induction with the shadow clone, Yang Qi immediately discovered that the two souls did not appear together, but in different directions, one closer to him and the other slightly farther away. (To be continued)
