Qin Xiao stayed in the secret realm, and then flew around the secret realm again while sitting on Youyou's back.
"Yun Yun, are there any other good things in this secret realm?"
Yun Yun appeared beside her, saying, "There are some, but I advise you not to get your hands on them."
Qin Xiao remained silent, then shook his head with some regret.
He understood what Yun Yun meant; this secret realm had been eroded by the tides, and many things might be problematic.
If you accidentally get tainted by the aura of the end times, you're probably doomed.
After Youyou completed its flight, Yunyun's figure disappeared.
"Let's go, this secret realm will probably be destroyed soon."
The monstrous beast, whose nature was unknown, had begun to collapse after being captured by the mysterious youth.
The chaotic mist at the edge had begun to riot, and the barrier membrane had begun to flicker.
Qin Xiao didn't delay any longer and sped towards the teleportation portal.
"Master, there is... there is something."
Just as Qin Xiao was about to rush out of the teleportation portal, Jianmu's vague consciousness came from his mind.
"Hey, stop for a second!"
Yoyo stopped instantly and hovered in the air.
"What's wrong, Master?" Youyou asked, puzzled.
Qin Xiao did not respond, but instead closed his eyes and communicated with Jianmu.
After a long while, Jianmu, still in a daze, managed to stammer out a rough account of what had happened.
Jianmu sensed something it could absorb here, just like the divinity it once possessed.
"Is there divinity here too?" Qin Xiao murmured to himself.
Summon the roots of the Jianmu tree to open a spatial passage.
After Qin Xiao controlled Youyou to shrink, he slid it into him.
This place is like some kind of spatial interlayer, where Qin Xiao has already begun his symbiotic relationship with the Jianmu tree.
The surrounding scenery remained the same, only the colors were a deathly gray-black.
A wisp of gray-black aura appeared and disappeared, and Yun Yun's figure appeared beside him.
"Watch out! Where am I? Why is there such a strong aura of destruction here?!"
Yunyun's voice was tense and serious.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao reinforced the protection of the Jianmu tree even more.
"Calamity energy? What does that mean? Is it the energy of the end times?"
Yun Yun shook her head. "No, the aura of the end times is formless and intangible, and cannot be sensed."
This is the annihilating calamity energy generated by combining with this world, similar to my ethereal calamity energy.
The roots of the Jianmu tree appeared beside Qin Xiao, stretching straight in one direction.
"Jianmu said there were good things here, so it opened the passage and brought me in."
Qin Xiao gave an explanation and headed in the direction the Jianmu tree was pointing.
Yun Yun remained serious throughout, reaching out to embrace a wisp of calamity energy.
"I think I can absorb this stuff..."
"Huh?" Qin Xiao was completely bewildered. Didn't you say it was very dangerous?
As she spoke, Yun Yun closed her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a jade sword appeared.
The ethereal tribulation energy emerged, swirling like a vortex, and began to absorb the tribulation energy here.
Strands of gray-black calamity energy, like fish drawn to the scene, kept disappearing into the jade sword.
Qin Xiao stopped and moved away from the jade sword, watching it quietly.
This space began to stir, with more and more gray-black calamity energy surging out.
The jade sword gradually became stained with streaks of black, and finally, the jade-colored longsword slowly transformed into a black jade longsword.
A chilling and silent atmosphere was faintly visible.
After a long while, Yun Yun reappeared, her jade-white fairy dress now transformed into the color of black jade.
Qin Xiao frowned. "Yun Yun?"
Yunyun turned her head, her eyes were completely gray and her expression was blank.
Jingjing and Ilya appeared beside her, looking wary.
Qin Xiao spoke again, "Yun Yun?"
Yun Yun's expression shifted slightly, and the gray-black in her eyes disappeared.
She glanced at Qin Xiao's expression. "It's alright, I just can't digest this tribulation energy for a while. It's not something I can handle right now."
It poses no threat in itself; on the contrary, I can use this calamity energy to control the power of annihilation.
Qin Xiao remained tense, mainly because the other party was not his tamed beast, so he couldn't fully control it.
"Your actions were too reckless; I'm a little worried. How about this?"
Let me try flying on my sword and see if you're affected.
Yun Yun rolled her beautiful peach blossom eyes. "Give up on that idea, you bastard!"
Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, it seems to be the same you."
As he spoke, Qin Xiao checked the contract again to confirm that his connection with the other party remained very strong.
"Do you think something bad will happen, like being possessed? These calamity energies have no consciousness or personal will."
Qin Xiao was somewhat embarrassed, as this secret realm had drawn him into the mystical and supernatural realms of cultivation.
After exchanging a few more words, Qin Xiao continued forward, heading in the direction indicated by the roots of the Jianmu tree.
This time, Qin Xiao rode on Jingjing's dragon head, holding onto its horns.
Qin Xiao, caught up in his mischievousness, made Yun Yun transform back into a longsword and hold it high in her hand.
"A great opportunity!"
"Victory is assured! Ascend! Dragon! Sword!"
"Ha~~~"
An awkward silence fell over the room, and Jingjing looked like she couldn't bear to watch.
In the demon realm, Bai Ling laughed and rolled around on the grass.
Ilya smiled wryly, while only the Void Blade held in her hand struggled.
"Ah, let me go, what are you doing!" Yun Yun's voice rang out with a hint of embarrassment.
Qin Xiao didn't care at all and laughed heartily.
Half an hour later, Jingjing stopped at a mountaintop, and Qin Xiao sat cross-legged on top of her head.
On the mountaintop, a plant that resembled both a tree and a vine, and was as transparent as crystal, grew wildly.
What stands out from its surroundings is that this plant has color, which is quite different from the gray and black space.
"Is this what the Jianmu tree is?"
The roots of the Jianmu tree responded slightly, and Qin Xiao's expression turned strange.
The roots of the Jianmu tree began to extend, heading towards the strange plant.
"Yunyun, do you recognize what this is?"
Yun Yun shook her head. "Never seen it before."
As the roots of the Jianmu tree approached, ripples floated in the air.
It's like some kind of blockade and obstruction has been broken.
The roots began to peel away layer by layer, turning into smoke and dust that drifted away.
A soft green light began to appear, and the roots regenerated at a speed faster than they could be broken apart, spreading firmly toward the plant.
Layer upon layer of space was broken through, until finally a distorted point of light appeared.
A sphere resembling shards of glass or a crystal ball appeared at the end of the plant.
"What is this thing?"
Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised. He had thought it was some kind of magical plant, but judging from its appearance...
The crystal-clear plant is clearly just an add-on; the sphere is the real treasure.
The roots of the Jianmu tree finally reached the sphere and began to multiply and curl up wildly.
Destruction and shattering clashed with the regeneration and proliferation of roots, and a root channel opened.
The will of Jianmu urged Qin Xiao and the others to leave, and Qin Xiao immediately rode Youyou away through the root passage.
The group appeared in the secret realm, their roots retracted, and they retreated back into the demon realm through the passage.
Qin Xiao's consciousness immediately followed and began to observe.
The sphere was pulled into the demon realm, and instantly, countless roots began to surround it.
Layer upon layer, circle upon circle, like a writhing giant python, it completely envelops the sphere.
