Youyou was not affected by his friendly attitude; on the contrary, she became even more vigilant. This was because the aura emanating from him was one she had never seen from anyone since she transmigrated—an aura so immense that it was astonishing. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been guarding the Heavenly Maiden were no match for it. No, it should be said that all those people combined were less than one-tenth of the aura emanating from him.
The key point is that she had a vague feeling that the other party had deliberately restrained themselves.
So without a doubt—this is the big boss!
Youyou felt her whole body tense up. For the first time, she worried that if a fight really broke out, she, a half-baked novice, wouldn't be able to get Lin Feng out unscathed. So, almost instinctively, she patted the spirit beast pouch on her body and cried out, "Little monster!"
A flash of white light appeared, and a white spirit beast dressed in a pet outfit appeared on the water's surface. It let out a powerful howl, shook its body, and seemed about to transform into a giant beast. Turning its head towards the pavilion, it roared, "Awooo... Tell me, where are you going to fight this time..."
Before it could finish speaking, it suddenly froze, its body stiffening, and its initially enlarged form deflated and shrank back into itself.
The next moment, it turned around even faster than before, darted back into the spirit beast pouch, and tied the opening tightly from the inside.
"I can't win! Please pretend I'm already dead!"
Youyou: "..."
Lin Feng: "..."
man:"……"
Damn, what kind of embarrassing mode is this spirit beast?! Is it really okay to give up so quickly? You could at least put up a fight!
"Hehe... This spirit beast, the Heavenly Maiden, is indeed somewhat... unique." The man chuckled, his expression still gentle, not caring at all that she had called out a spirit beast. Instead, he smiled even more kindly, his whole being as beautiful as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, almost unreal, and with a calming effect that soothed people's hearts with just a glance.
"You two need not worry, I mean no harm." As if sensing their wariness, he continued pouring tea and explained slowly, "Besides, this is my sea of consciousness space. If anyone should be worried, it should be me!"
"A space within the sea of consciousness?" You You turned to look at Lin Feng. What did that mean?
Lin Feng looked shocked and explained in a low voice, "Your Excellency, the sea of consciousness is the sea of a cultivator's mind, which is an extremely important and fragile place. Once the sea of consciousness is damaged, it is the time of death and annihilation, and it may also damage the soul." Therefore, the sea of consciousness is generally not easily shown to others.
"It is rumored that some cultivators can refine their sea of consciousness into a space." Lin Feng looked around, somewhat incredulous. Such a sea of consciousness space really existed. He had originally thought it was just an ancient legend. "Everything in the space is a manifestation of the master's heart. Touching it casually will cause irreparable damage to the body. It is considered... the most vulnerable place of a cultivator."
In other words, there is actually no danger here, and even if there were, the other party would never be able to attack them in their own sea of consciousness.
“That’s right, it’s easier for you to hurt me here than for me to hurt you.” The man’s smile deepened, showing no sign of the danger of revealing his weakness to others. He said with a gentle and kind expression, “In that case… would you two give me a chance to sit down and talk?”
The two exchanged a glance. Perhaps because the other's expression was too kind, they found it difficult to feel any hostility towards him, so they walked towards the pavilion.
"Who exactly are you?" Youyou asked, taking the cup he offered. "Why are you locking us up here?"
“My name is Yuan Qi.” He raised his head and looked at You You earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity and a hint of light, as if he were very happy. “I have been waiting for you here for tens of thousands of years.”
"Huh?" What does that mean?
"What you two see of me is merely a wisp of my divine consciousness. I have been slumbering in this secret realm for tens of thousands of years, waiting for someone to awaken me. Now..." He smiled even more deeply, his gaze towards You You so gentle it seemed to overflow with tenderness, "You are the only person in tens of thousands of years who can see this place and enter this sea of consciousness space."
"Me?" Isn't it because of the formation I set up?
“My race is very special,” he continued. “Unless I deliberately reveal myself, ordinary cultivators cannot detect my presence; only those with extraordinary abilities can sense me. As far as I know, in this world… only celestial maidens possess this special ability.”
"This world?" You You was stunned for a moment, but Lin Feng next to him seemed to have thought of something and said in shock, "You said your name is Yuan Qi! Then... your true form... could it be... a Qilin!"
Yuan Qi smiled even more deeply, but did not deny it. He nodded and said, "That's right, I am indeed not human. My true form is a Qilin."
“Huh, are you a beast?” Youyou blurted out.
"Your Excellency," Lin Feng quickly tugged at her, "The Qilin is an ancient divine beast, a divine race even more powerful than immortals!"
"god?!"
(⊙_⊙)
Do gods appear in this world so casually? And even politely invite you for tea?
"Legend has it that the gods have long since vanished from the Three Realms, and even the Immortal Realm may not exist." Lin Feng glanced at Yuan Qi. "How could you... possibly appear here?"
"My Qilin clan has always had a difficult history of producing offspring, and now in this world... I am truly the only one left." Yuan Qi thought of something, and a few traces of sorrow flashed across his face. "Tens of thousands of years ago, I was accidentally injured and wandered into the lower realm. I carved out a secret realm near the Moon Sea, leaving behind a wisp of divine consciousness before falling into a deep sleep. I originally hoped that after I recovered, a member of my clan could awaken my true form. Who knew that this wait would last for tens of thousands of years, and the world would be in the midst of a great calamity. By the time I recovered, I could no longer sense the presence of my clan."
