With a low roar, the heavy stone door slowly opened. Xue Lian widened his eyes, staring at the scene that gradually unfolded before his eyes—a deep entrance that was so dark that it seemed to swallow up all light appeared in front of them.
Xiao Ning took a few steps forward, trying to see what was hidden inside the entrance, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. The darkness was like a thick wall, completely blocking his sight. His face was full of vigilance, and he looked at Xue Lian beside him. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Xue Lian spoke first.
"Are you curious about whether Jiu Xuanming is alive or dead? If you want to find the answer, you have to go inside and explore."
Xue Lian's voice echoed in the silent space, sounding somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Before he finished speaking, Xue Lian raised his foot without hesitation and stepped into the mysterious entrance. Seeing this, Xiao Ning's heart tightened. After hearing the news about Jiu Xuanming's whereabouts, he, who was originally a little tired, immediately perked up.
However, at this moment, he couldn't help but fall into a brief contemplation while still holding Bai Ziyun in his arms. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally gritted his teeth, hugged Bai Ziyun tightly, followed Xue Lian and stepped into this unknown world together.
At first, it was pitch black. Apart from the two people's light footsteps echoing in the empty passage, no other sound could be heard. Xiao Ning was extremely nervous, every nerve was tense, and he didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that he would encounter an accident if he was not careful.
I don't know how long I walked like this, time seemed to have lost its meaning here. Xue Lian in front finally stopped, and suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "snap", and a crisp snap of fingers broke the long silence.
In an instant, groups of blazing flames suddenly lit up as if they appeared out of thin air, and quickly spread out, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The sudden strong light made Xiao Ning, who was caught off guard, subconsciously close his eyes. After a long while, when he gradually adapted to the dazzling light, he slowly opened his eyes.
Just as Xiao Ning slowly opened his eyes and looked forward, he was instantly stunned by the scene that came into his sight, and his body froze in place as if petrified. What appeared in front of him was an extremely spacious place, roughly estimated to be about half the size of a standard football field.
However, the vastness of the venue alone was not the reason why Xiao Ning was so shocked. What really made him feel horrified and dumbfounded was the huge monster that filled the huge space - an extremely large fleshy object!
This disgusting creature was like a giant flesh worm, wriggling slowly. Its appearance was very similar to human skin, but it was also extremely rough and weird, as if it was the skin of some mutant creature.
Xiao Ning stared at the horrifying scene in front of him, and suddenly, an uncontrollable strong physiological nausea surged into his heart like a tide, rushing straight to his throat. Then, this discomfort quickly spread to his mouth, and it was about to burst out.
He hurriedly let go of the arms that were holding Bai Ziyun, and covered his mouth with both hands as quickly as possible, trying his best to prevent himself from vomiting on the spot.
Xue Lian, who was standing nearby, saw Xiao Ning's disgusted expression and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Haha, when I first saw this thing, my reaction was exactly the same as yours now. I also felt extremely disgusted!"
Xiao Ning didn't seem to take the other person's words to heart at all. He just kept vomiting, as if he wanted to vomit out all his internal organs. After a long time, he finally stopped vomiting, then slowly straightened up, his face full of confusion, staring at Xue Lian blankly and asked:
"What on earth is this? Why is it such a big ball of flesh? Could it be that Nezha is hiding inside it?"
Hearing Xiao Ning's words, Xue Lian could not help but be slightly stunned. After a short pause, he laughed softly and responded:
"I don't know who the Nezha you are talking about is. I think it should be the name of someone. However, by coincidence, this strange thing was once a human being named Jiu Xuanming."
"What! It turned out to be Jiu Xuan Ming? How did it become like this now?"
Xiao Ning's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, staring at the huge meat ball in front of him, and he couldn't accept that this thing was actually a person! Seeing this, Xue Lian seemed unhurried, she slowly began to explain to Xiao Ning:
"Just as you have seen with your own eyes, this thing is indeed Jiuxuanming. As for why it has become like this, it is purely his own fault."
Just like that, Xue Lian began to tell the origin of the meatball.
One hundred years ago, Jiu Xuanming was the patriarch of Penglai Fairy Island. His cultivation was unfathomable. Not only did he have the highest alchemy skills, but his magic array and weapon-making skills were also unparalleled. It was for this reason that Xue Lian, who wanted to revive Jiang Yinli, traveled thousands of miles to find him.
Xue Lian accidentally discovered a mysterious crystal called Tianhun Lingshi in a mysterious ancient site. This crystal has magical power, it can store the soul and cultivation of the dead completely, even after a hundred years, the soul and cultivation will not dissipate.
