Looking at the mass of dark gas trapped within the colorful bubbles, which had gradually calmed down.

Gu Changqing clenched his right hand, and the colorful bubble containing the dark gas gradually shrank.

As the colorful bubble shrank, the black gas inside gradually transformed into a smooth sphere.

Looking at the dark sphere, Gu Changqing stretched out his right hand and took it out of the colorful bubble.

He then swallowed the black sphere he was holding without hesitation.

After the pure divine soul within his body completely decomposed the pitch-black sphere, Gu Changqing felt that his exploration of the Dao had taken another step forward.

"Indeed, the strange thing inside this person's body is a more complete strange path than the strange thing itself. It's a pity that this person's soul is too weak, and the strange path within it is also pitifully small."

Feeling the purer divine soul after devouring the demonic path, Gu Changqing murmured to himself.

However, when he looked back at the others who were trapped in the illusion, he discovered something interesting.

The obese Imperial Finance Minister, Wang Qi, had a soft golden light emanating from the inside of his clothing at the chest.

When Gu Changqing discovered that his divine sense could not perceive the item, he also became interested in the unknown object.

To ensure absolute success, he manipulated a human woman who was trapped in an illusion and brought by the Second Prince to go to Wang Qi and retrieve the item.

And when the woman with the blank stare walked stiffly like a machine in front of Wang Qi under Gu Changqing's control.

A pair of fair and smooth jade hands also reached into Wang Qi's chest. After groping around for a while, she took out a jade pendant made of gold from Wang Qi's clothes.

The moment the beautiful woman took out the jade pendant, it immediately burst forth with dazzling light. Even Gu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly at the golden light emanating from the jade pendant.

The beautiful woman, upon being illuminated by the golden light, melted into a pool of multicolored liquid, just like a candle.

The jade pendant in the beautiful woman's hand fell into the small puddle that the woman had transformed into with a plop. After falling into the water, it stopped emitting golden light and fell into darkness again.

Gu Changqing didn't care about the woman who had turned into a puddle. Instead, he manipulated another young and beautiful woman brought by the Second Prince to go to the puddle, retrieve the jade pendant, and hand it to him.

This time, after the petite woman retrieved the jade pendant, it did not emit golden light again, perhaps because it no longer contained any energy.

After manipulating the petite woman to wipe the liquid-soaked jade pendant clean on her clothes, he took the jade pendant into his own hand.

The petite woman who brought the jade pendant was also swallowed by a colorful bubble that Gu Changqing casually sent, turning her into nourishment for the Dream Realm.

Feeling the cool jade pendant in his hand, Gu Changqing held it up to his eyes and examined it carefully.

The material is just ordinary gold, but its purity is extremely high. However, there is an unknown power within it that prevents one's divine soul from probing its interior.

After careful observation, Gu Changqing discovered nothing else besides that the jade pendant was made of gold.

However, this jade pendant seems to be missing something.

Turning the jade pendant over, Gu Changqing looked at the dent on the back and thought to herself.

Then he looked at the owner of the jade pendant, Wang Qi, the Imperial Finance Minister, who was trapped in a dream, with a vacant look in his eyes and an obese figure.
