However, he also understood her intention: don't always rely on her, or you'll never truly grow.
They soon arrived at the next level, which was much larger than the "prisons" they had seen before.
The door that locked the other person was less of a door and more of a towering pillar, stretching to an unknown distance, beyond the reach of the naked eye. Standing in front of this door, one would feel an overwhelming sense of insignificance.
Zuan felt goosebumps rise all over his body, as if there was some kind of unseen temptation urging him to take a look.
At this moment, Jing Teng whispered, "Let's go!"
As she spoke, she pulled him and jumped down the stairs on the other side. Only then did Zuan catch his breath, wondering if that was what it felt like to face higher laws and mysteries.
Zuan couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Jing Teng: "Why do you know so much? Where are we going if we keep going?"
Jing Teng sighed, and this time he didn't try to change the subject: "Because I used to live here too. Didn't you promise to help me find my original body? My original body is down here."
Zuan: "..."
He was completely bewildered. He knew that in the depths of this great tomb, the monsters imprisoned and sealed became increasingly powerful with each level deeper. And now Jing Teng was telling him that her true form was still down there?
Wouldn't that be even more powerful than that nameless being from before?
At this moment, Jing Teng tilted his head and gave him a sinister smile: "Are you regretting it now? Afraid that I'll eat you up?"
Zuan sighed: "Since we're already here, what other choice do we have? I'd rather be swallowed by you than be eaten by you."
Jing Teng was taken aback: "What's the difference?"
Suddenly her face flushed red, and she glared at him playfully: "You rascal!"
Zu An smiled, took her hand and kissed it: "Everyone says I live off a woman, thinking it's a deep insult, but in my opinion, it's actually a compliment to my charm. If you really are that powerful, I'm going to live off you from now on. In the future, if we encounter any enemies, whether it's Zhao Hao or the Ghost King, you can just slap them to death."
Jing Teng was amused by him and laughed heartily: "You're such a rascal, I don't know how Qiu and the others came to like you."
"So how did you come to like me?" Zu'an asked with a lewd grin, leaning closer.
Jing Teng blushed and turned her face away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
As they spoke, the two had already stepped off the last step of the stairs. They had expected an even more eerie and terrifying illusion below, but instead, their eyes were filled with light.
Where it was dark before, this place is very bright.
The ground was as blue as the sea, yet there wasn't a trace of water when you stepped on it.
Zuan looked down and saw faint yellow stars on the ground. Each star was connected by yellow rays, forming complex patterns.
Suddenly something flashed by, and Zu An became alert. Just as he was about to retaliate, he was surprised to find that what had just passed by was actually a very small shooting star.
He wanted to find out what was going on with the star, so he reached out to touch it with all his might, thinking that if anything was wrong, he would teleport away immediately.
Who knew that the hand would pass right through the star, as if the star didn't exist?
Only then did he notice that shooting stars were flying around him from time to time, and the sky was full of stars. Bathed in starlight, everything looked beautiful and magnificent, without any of the gloomy and terrifying feeling he had imagined.
