Meanwhile, in a distant and mysterious space, Mu Weiliang and Qianxun were studying something in a palace.
Chihiro scratched her head with a slightly troubled expression: "Your Highness, can this thing really take us out?"
Mu Weiliang nodded without even looking up: "We'll know once we try. We've been trapped here for so many years; we have to try to have a chance to get out. Otherwise, if we follow that old man's advice, when will we ever become gods?"
“Yes, we’ve been locked up here for so many years, and that old man won’t let us out. I should never have saved him.”
If it weren't for that time they went sightseeing and rescued an old man who was starving to death on the road, and then the old man brought them here and locked them up, saying they weren't allowed to leave until they became gods. What gods and all that nonsense, it all sounded so mystical, and they didn't believe it at all.
Mu Weiliang glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If he hears you, he'll start nagging you again."
This mysterious space belonged to the old man, so everything they said and did was under his watchful eye. The old man didn't know who they were either; he only told them that if they wanted to leave, they should figure out a way themselves, or become gods so they could freely enter and leave.
They naturally didn't believe the old man's words; they simply didn't believe they couldn't get out.
What do you mean by becoming a god? Are there even gods in this world? He doesn't believe it.
"oh."
The old man, who had been watching them the whole time, stroked his beard and sipped his tea with a smile. The only way out was to cultivate to godhood; there was no other way.
The space controlled by this demigod can only be exited by those who have become gods. The reason I said they could find a way out was simply to prevent them from losing all sense of conviction.
Princess Qianxun was someone he had searched for hundreds of years to find. The reason he hadn't found her before was because the continents were different and inaccessible, and there was simply no news about her. Moreover, the princess had always been in a child's state, not yet an adult, and the power of her bloodline had not yet been activated.
Moreover, the young prince seems to be simpler-minded than ordinary people, which is probably why his cultivation level is higher and faster than that of ordinary people.
Once he becomes a god, he can return to his normal state.
Qianxun and Mu Weiliang never even considered which of the old man's words were true and which were false. Cultivation was not impossible, but becoming a god was a joke.
The two of them were completely absorbed in studying the lightning-attracting talisman in their hands. If they could figure it out, and then combine it with their junior sister's spiritual energy ball, they refused to believe they couldn't cleave open this space. As long as there was a crack, they could escape.
However, they weren't professional talisman masters. They had been studying this lightning-summoning talisman for a long time, drawing it based on what they had read in books. They had created other talismans before, but this lightning-summoning talisman was a first for them. After all, they didn't dare to take any risks, fearing that the space might not be cleaved open and they might be destroyed instead.
Only a little bit is left today, and success is just around the corner.
Mu Weiliang carefully finished the last stroke, blew away the ink stains, and carefully compared it with the one in the book.
"Did Your Highness succeed?"
Mu Weiliang nodded: "Yes, Qianxun will come and take a look."
Qianxun took the talisman, carefully compared it with the book, and then returned it to Mu Weiliang after a moment.
"I think both are correct, Your Highness, please begin."
Mu Weiliang nodded, took the talisman in her hand, and silently recited the incantation to accompany it several times. Then she threw the talisman into the air, her fingertips flashing with spiritual energy, igniting the talisman. Mu Weiliang began chanting the incantation, while Qianxun beside her threw Feng Qinghuang's spiritual energy ball into the air, using her spiritual energy to control the ball's explosion.
A moment later, a series of crackling sounds echoed from within the space. Mu Weiliang and Qianxun, holding hands, stood a short distance away, observing the activity within. If a gap appeared, both of them could exit at the same time, ensuring no one was left behind.
The commotion grew louder and louder. Mu Weiliang and Qianxun were chased and struck by lightning in the space. Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, they could only use their own spiritual power to fight against the lightning strikes.
The old man outside the space, seeing this scene, showed no panic whatsoever. He wanted to wait until the lightning struck them before making any decisions, to see if their cultivation levels would be slightly better after being struck by lightning.
After all, sometimes being struck by lightning a few times can help improve one's cultivation level.
The lightning in the space lasted for about half an hour. Mu Weiliang and Qianxun were covered in burns, and there seemed to be a burnt smell in the air.
The white-bearded old man, seeing that it was about time, flicked his whisk and stepped into the space.
As he walked away, the lightning in the space stopped striking.
Chihiro raised her dirty little face and looked at the old man: "Old man, how did you get in here? This lightning might strike you."
The old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "When you reach my level of cultivation, no matter what you are, you won't dare to act recklessly."
"real?"
The old man nodded, smoothed his hair and wiped his face: "Of course it's true, Your Highness. Don't you believe me?"
Chihiro nodded: "I believe you now. Your Highness, let's focus on our cultivation and try to find my little aunt later so she can deal with him."
Hearing Qianxun's words, Mu Weiliang couldn't help but chuckle. Putting aside whether they could get out, even if they could, could Junior Sister control the old man? Besides, they had no idea what kind of space they were in.
However, he didn't want to undermine Chihiro's confidence.
"Okay, let's go back and pack up first."
The white-bearded old man watched the two leave, his face full of doubt. Who exactly was this "little aunt" that the young prince mentioned, that she could be the young prince's great-aunt?
It seems I need to investigate further.
