While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
They quickly figured out the entrance to the formation and entered without any obstruction. They affixed a water-repelling talisman and headed straight for the water.
As Jian Ning walked, the emerald green pool water parted to both sides.
A huge underground passage was revealed. Its surface was completely covered by layers of silver-glowing protective barriers.
When the water flows near the barrier, it automatically swirls and disperses. No one dares to approach.
Is this the interdimensional portal left over from the ancient war between humans and demons? Jian Ning had never seen one like it before.
I walked around the barrier twice, but I couldn't find a way through.
Over millions of years, this restriction has been preserved so well that Jian Ning certainly wouldn't destroy it just so she could go back.
After thinking for a moment, he turned back to the formation he had entered from, took out spirit stones and materials for setting up the formation from his spatial storage, and set up a triple-layered defensive formation outside the formation.
Even if Lord Qingcheng brought his men, it would probably take them a hundred years or more to break through this chain formation outside.
Because Jian Ning had set up the most solid Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
It is most advantageous for securing the interior and making it difficult to be breached.
Then, a star formation was set up inside. This was a maze that could use the power of the sun, moon, and stars to bewitch people's minds.
It not only relies on spirit stones, but also on the power of the stars in the sky to operate. It is endlessly regenerating.
After finishing all that, I returned to the bottom of the pool, went into the space first, and took out the Holy Spirit Dew that I had taken from the Three-Eyed Demon.
"Fugui, come here. This is the thing that can transform you into human form. Do you want to take it now, or wait until we get back?"
"Master, of course we should eat now! I can't wait!" Huang Fugui stood up and tugged at Jian Ning's trouser leg with its paws, looking genuinely anxious.
“Alright, you can only take one drop. After you transform, if you want to increase your power, you can take two more drops.” Jian Ning said, uncapping the bottle and pouring a drop of Holy Spirit Dew into its mouth.
Huang Fugui smacked his tongue twice.
"Master, why is there no smell at all? Are you kidding me?"
"Impossible! I saw with my own eyes that the white fox turned into a little boy after drinking this holy dew. How could it not work for you?"
Jian Ning didn't understand the reason either. After hesitating for a moment, she simply gave it the other drop from the bottle. Was it because the amount was insufficient, thus affecting the transformation effect?
Only after this drop was administered did Huang Fugui react, his whole body convulsing uncontrollably.
Jian Ning knew this reaction would occur after consuming the Holy Spirit Dew, so she wasn't in a hurry and quietly waited for Huang Fugui to take human form. A full five minutes passed.
A flash of white light appeared, and a chubby little boy with his bare bottom and fair skin appeared on the ground.
It had jet-black hair and big, round eyes. It rolled on the ground, then quickly covered its bottom with its hand.
"Master, quickly find me some clothes! Why did this transformation even rip off my fur?"
"You little rascal, are you afraid I'll see? Here, put it on yourself."
Jian Ning handed it a set of the smallest size sportswear and pinched its chubby cheeks. They felt pretty good.
Huang Fugui took the clothes, fiddled with them for a while, and finally dressed himself.
Jian Ning found him a pair of slippers. There was no other way; she didn't have any shoes big enough for a boy to wear in her space. Slippers, on the other hand, were a bit too big, so he could just shuffle around in them.
After putting on his shoes, Huang Fugui wanted to go inside and look in the mirror. However, he was not used to walking on two feet for the first time, and after taking two steps, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Although its appearance has changed, it still has the same thick skin and tough body. It doesn't feel hurt at all when it falls. It gets up unsteadily and continues to walk into the house.
Jian Ning followed behind it the whole time, and looking at its appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Master, aren't I pretty handsome after transforming? When I grow up, I'll definitely charm a bunch of girls!" Huang Fugui said as he entered the room.
I moved a stool, stood on it, and looked at myself in the mirror from all angles. I thought that although my human form was a bit young, it was really handsome, and I couldn't find any fault with it.
"Alright, stop being so vain. Let's eat something. Can you go out and see if there's any way to get in without breaking the barrier?"
"Okay, let's start with a big chicken leg." Chicken legs have always been Huang Fugui's favorite food.
"Here you go, go wash your hands before you eat. You're not an animal anymore, you need to mind your table manners." Jian Ning placed two large chicken legs on a plate on the table, then pulled Huang Fugui to wash his hands.
The child's little hands are so chubby, with little dimples. They're so cute; after washing them, I couldn't resist pulling them over and giving them a kiss.
They're much more endearing than furry paws.
"Master, why have you become so lewd! You've got my hands all saliva on them, I have to wash them again, what a waste of water."
Huang Fugui shook his chubby little hands, his face full of disgust.
"Well, you've really grown up, daring to talk back to me now. How is it that I'm being lecherous when I kiss you a couple of times? Go eat your food, stop being so fussy!" Jian Ning flicked his forehead with her hand.
He pulled it over to the dining table and sat it down, then got himself a bowl of spicy hot pot. He sat down and ate with Huang Fugui.
After finishing his meal, there was no need to wash the dishes. He pulled it out of the space and saw the light of the barrier emanating from the passage outside. Huang Fugui sighed in amazement.
"Master, the person who set up this barrier is truly amazing. What kind of place is this? Why does it need such tight protection?"
"It's supposedly an interdimensional passage. Do you know any ways to get me across without damaging it?"
Jian Ning planned to reinforce this area after she arrived. She couldn't let Lord Qingcheng lead these demons past the human race so easily.
I glanced over and saw Huang Fugui, with his short legs and arms behind his back, walking over like a little adult.
Because his clothes didn't fit properly and looked sloppy, Jian Ning thought she would have to alter them to make them smaller later.
They followed and went over. The restrictions here were all made of various talismans and spiritual power, and it was clear that they were not something that demons could seal.
To break this restriction, one option is to use a highly skilled person to launch a violent attack.
One option is to simply blast open the barrier. Another option is to find the energy source and extract it to temporarily lift the barrier.
We all know the methods. But finding the foundation is not as easy as it sounds.
