"It seems to have existed a long, long time ago, passed down from generation to generation. Why?" The nine neonate asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I just feel that it's not simple. " Lin Yi shook his head, but he was suspicious-what was the connection between this place and Sky Class Island?
His suspicion was not groundless. It was because after he had learned primordial spirit devouring, he found that it was very similar to West Mountain sect's soul-snatching hand. The similarity was at least 80%, almost a replica.
He'd made an incomplete hand of soul devouring on his own, but because of the lack of the practitioner's Arts, it was extremely weak-it wouldn't even be enough to deal with a foundational level practitioner, let alone someone of the same level. He'd just realized that the practitioner's Arts could be applied to the hand of soul devouring as well-it wasn't as good as the original, but it was at least eighty percent as powerful.
If this was a pure coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
Lin Yi was more willing to believe that the Sky Class island's soul-devouring hand was similar to the essence spirit here-it was because the island and this place had some unknown origin. Perhaps the two came from the same source.
Starting from the secular world, the heaven rank Island, the small world, and this once-in-a-thousand-years trial ground all seemed to be inextricably linked.
Of course, even if there was a connection, it had nothing to do with Lin Yi. He was just curious.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't say anything else, the nine neonate went silent for a moment before carefully testing,""That ... What are your plans after this?"
"You're afraid that I'll stay and take over your place?" Lin Yi looked at him with a half-smile.
"Ugh ..." The nine neonate was embarrassed. That was what it meant. Ever since it found out that Lin Yi was a xuansheng stage spirit, it didn't have any hope of killing him. Especially after Lin Yi learned how to devour spirits, it didn't even dare to think about such crazy thoughts. It would be good enough if it could protect itself in this situation.
However, after ruling the trial grounds for so many years, it wasn't used to the sudden appearance of someone above it. If Lin Yi decided to stay and rule the mountain, it'd be in an awkward position in the future. Was it really going to be Lin Yi's follower from now on?
"Don't worry, I still have a lot of things to do outside. I don't have the mood to stay here and accompany you to be that Lord. " Lin Yi's answer made the nine neonate sigh in relief,""But I have a request. You must let go of the human cultivators who came in this time."
"How can we do that?" The nine neonate immediately stomped its feet. It had waited for a thousand years before finally getting a group of human cultivators. It was rare for it to have a change of taste, so how could it let it go easily?
"Not happy? That's fine, I'll stay and practice with you. " Lin Yi said.
"Don't mind me, I promise. Is this okay?" The nine neonate quickly admitted defeat. Losing a batch of human Tributes wasn't a big deal to it. At most, it would have one less chance to improve its food. If it missed it, it didn't care, but if Lin Yi stayed and took over its territory, it wouldn't have a good time.
"Alright, go and make the arrangements. Remember, if anything happens to my people, then there will never be a possibility of peaceful coexistence between us. You should think about what to do." Lin Yi warned.
"Yes, yes. Don't worry." Of course, the nine neonate would not take the initiative to find trouble at this time. Its only thought at this moment was to quickly send this God of plague away. Upon hearing this, it quickly used its deified soul to pass down orders, strictly ordering all spirit beasts not to attack any human cultivators. Whoever stepped on the red line would be the primordial spirit that it was going to devour next.
"Alright, one last thing. Take me to the teleportation formation." Lin Yi said.
"A teleportation formation? You don't remember the location of the teleportation formation?" The nine neonate was stunned when it heard this. A dignified primordial spirit at the xuansheng stage couldn't have such a bad memory, right?
"I'm talking about the other teleportation formation. It's a one-way teleportation formation that leads directly to the small Jianghu in the ancient times. " Lin Yi's lips twitched. Xin Yijie had provided him with a map, but he could tell that it was outdated from what he'd experienced. There were a lot of places that weren't accurate, and he wouldn't even be able to find a river of consciousness if he followed the map, much less a small one.
"The other one?" The nine neonate thought for a long time but could not remember. At this moment, water lotus, who was not far away, carefully interrupted and reminded,""My Lord, you've forgotten that the teleportation array is right beside the blue sky Valley ..."
"Oh? Lead the way. " Lin Yi said.
However, water lotus smiled bitterly."We can't go now. 700 years ago, the poison gas erupted and the place was already shrouded in the poison gas of the blue sky Valley. Outsiders can't enter at all."
"Really?" It wasn't just Lin Yi-Duanmu Yu was shocked as well. This was the only exit to the ancient martial world! If the one-way teleportation formation was completely blocked, wouldn't they all be trapped here?
"I remember now. There was indeed such a thing. That time, the poison gas erupted too violently, and I even went to suppress it myself. Although I finally managed to suppress the poison gas with all my might, I also suffered a great loss. That poison was very powerful." The nine neonate said with lingering fear.
"So it's completely useless." Lin Yi couldn't help but frown. He wouldn't mind if it was just him, but considering Leng Leng and the others, he couldn't go to a place like the Azure sky Valley, and this one-way teleportation formation was out of the question.
In other words, there was only one way left, and that was to go back to where he came from.
Xin Yijie had once said that the teleportation array that connected to the transit islands would not be covered by seawater for a short period of time. During this period of time, everyone could return at any time. However, if the seawater were to re-cover it in a month, it would be useless.
Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu looked at each other, rejoicing. Fortunately, they hadn't been here for too long-it was only half a month or so. They got the news from the nine infants and water lotus, or it would've been a disaster if they only found out a month later.
By then, both of the teleportation formations would be blocked, and everyone would be trapped here for a thousand years, except for Lin Yi ...
"Since that's the case, send us out," Lin Yi decided immediately. He wanted to practice with the nine neonate. After all, other than the spirit devour, the nine neonate had also researched many strange moves. With his comprehension and learning ability, he might be able to learn new powerful killer moves from them.
