Although these two people have changed a lot, they still seem to remain the same in some aspects.
Like, they never seem to see eye to eye.
Fang Wei felt slightly amused, and when he regained his attention, he found that the people in front of him had already started to divide into teams and enter the spiritual realm.
Because the Spirit Transformation Conference of Xuanqing Continent has a history of ten thousand years, and the Spirit Realm and Xuanqing Continent have had exchanges for a long time, the disciples' journey to the Spirit Realm is not dangerous. But even so, considering the possibility of accidents and other problems, the disciples enter the Spirit Realm in groups, and each group has a strong person leading the team to watch over them secretly. In this way, if any problems are encountered in the Spirit Realm, the leader can come forward to look after them in time.
Of course, apart from this, every disciple received a talisman before entering the spiritual realm. If they want to leave the spiritual realm, they only need to crush the talisman in advance and they can immediately leave the spiritual realm and return to the Xuanqing Continent.
Here, Hua Shi and Zhou Li were assigned to the same group as they wished, and together with them were the disciples from Tianwen Mountain and several disciples from Shuiyun City. What was most unexpected to them was that there were actually several disciples from Fengyu Palace in their team.
Hua Shi and Zhou Li recognized these people. They were the ones who had been bullied in the restaurant yesterday.
Disciples of the evil path have always been unwelcome in the eyes of disciples of the spiritual path, especially young disciples. After being divided into a group, the disciples from Tianwen Mountain and Shuiyun City were obviously unwilling to get close to them. They all stood far to one side and kept a distance from them.
The disciples of Fengyu Palace were also filled with impatience and vigilance, and were unwilling to get along with this group of self-proclaimed upright guys.
There was a clear dividing line between the two groups of disciples. For a moment, only Zhou Li and Hua Shi, two disciples from aristocratic families, were still standing in the middle, so they stood out particularly.
Zhou Li was good at identifying the air. Before Hua Shi could react, he had already understood the situation. He pulled Hua Shi to stand on the side of the disciples from Tianwen Mountain and Shuiyun City. Seeing them like this, several Lingdao disciples softened their expressions and showed enthusiasm to them.
The disciples of Fengyu Palace looked at this place coldly, and some of them couldn't help but snorted in displeasure.
Although the two parties were assigned to a group to go to the Spirit Realm, the atmosphere had already become tense before they set off.
However, Hua Shi had no intention of getting involved in their open and secret struggles. At this time, he was listening attentively to the elder master in charge of their group explaining how to use talismans to leave the spiritual realm. As an expert who knew how easy it was for accidents to happen in such situations, Hua Shi was usually careless, but never vague when it came to matters concerning his life. To be on the safe side, he even asked the elder for a few more talismans and put them all in his pocket.
After finishing the talisman, Hua Shi began to ask the elder about the precautions when going to the spiritual realm and how to call for help when encountering danger.
Hua Shi made a fuss over there for a long time, and this movement finally attracted the attention of other people. Looking at his appearance, everyone couldn't help but sneer at him, thinking that this young master was too timid and too cautious to the point of being embarrassing.
Hua Shi had no idea that his actions had caused the young disciples of the Spiritual and Evil sects to forget their hostility for a short time. After he asked all the questions he needed to ask, he turned around and saw that everyone was staring at him, so he blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Everyone shook their heads. Although they had many ideas, no one would say them out loud.
Hua Shi could only talk to the system in his mind: "What's wrong with them?"
Fang Wei watched the whole process and found it interesting from the emotions of these children, which were so simple that he could see through them at a glance. However, he did not say it out loud, but only reminded them: "Host, please be careful when you set off to the Spirit Realm."
Hua Shi asked with vigilance: "Is something really going to happen?"
Fang Wei did not respond directly, but only said: "The Spirit Realm should not be peaceful recently."
Hua Shi felt like he was on a pirate ship, but it was too late to jump off the ship. He smiled bitterly and said, "I knew it was always a good idea to be prepared."
Fang Wei naturally knew that Hua Shi’s preparations would not be redundant. On the contrary, the group of disciples from the Ling and Xie sects who were still fighting among themselves would probably regret it later.
After a brief exchange between Fang Wei and Hua Shi, the preparations before departure were finally completed. The team in front had already started to set off. The elder who was in charge of leading Hua Shi's team also looked back at everyone and led them into the open gate of the spiritual realm.
With a little nervousness, Hua Shi followed Zhou Li and stepped into the gate.
Hua Shi felt as if his body had lost gravity in an instant, and his soul seemed to be suddenly pulled out of his body by a powerful force, and then stuffed back in an almost brutal manner. This process was fast and he had no time to think deeply. Hua Shi was stunned for a long time, and when he came to his senses, he found that he was standing on an island. The island was not too big, but the scenery was good. The red flowers and green trees formed a world of their own. The green grass leaves on the ground still exuded a fresh fragrance, and there were beautiful floc-like objects floating around. All the colors in his eyes seemed to be much brighter than the real world of Xuanqing Continent.
To use Hua Shi’s words from his previous world, he seemed to have fallen into a fairy tale world, and even the plants and trees around him seemed to be cute and playful.
This seems to be somewhat different from the spiritual realm that Hua Shi imagined.
The other disciples were also entering there for the first time and could not help but feel it was very fresh. They all looked around at the surrounding environment. The island seemed to be floating on the sea somewhere. On the distant coast, there were many low houses that looked like they were made of colorful tiles. The sky around was light pink with some blue and purple tones, and there were golden stars filling the sky above their heads.
And as they watched, Hua Shi found that the distance between the coast and them seemed to be slowly getting closer.
Not only Hua Shi, but others also noticed something was wrong. Among them, the timid Tianwen Mountain disciples could not help but change their expressions, which resulted in them being mercilessly mocked by the Fengyu Hall disciples: "Is this the only courage a spiritual master has?"
That day, the disciple Wenshan couldn't help blushing and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
Hua Shi didn't care about their argument. He looked nervously at the ground under his feet, but he couldn't see anything wrong with the green grass. "What's going on?"
Zhou Li was also puzzled and could only shake his head in the face of Hua Shi's questions.
Fang Wei was very familiar with this scene. She couldn't help laughing when she saw everyone's reactions. She deliberately didn't mention Hua Shi and just watched them be at a loss.
Finally, the senior who led the team nearby finally laughed after watching for a while, and took the initiative to explain to everyone: "Don't worry, it is Senior Shanjing who is leading us to the treasure land of spiritual objects."
Hua Shi didn't understand the name in his words: "Mountain spirit?"
The senior shook his head and suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Senior Shanjing, how are you these days?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Shi felt that the island beneath his feet seemed to move. The huge movement, like an earthquake, made many disciples unstable. Hua Shi barely managed to stand by holding on to the tree trunks beside him. Then he heard a dull voice like thunder: "Thousands of years have passed. There is no need to say polite words."
Hua Shi was shocked and curious. He looked down at the swaying grass leaves on the ground, then looked up and forward. After a long pause, he finally understood what was going on. He then asked the senior in front of him, "Senior, are we on the whale's body now?"
When he said this, Hua Shi was no longer surprised. He just felt it was fresh and interesting. He thought that the spiritual realm was indeed completely different from the world he knew before. The colors of the sun, moon, stars and sky here were all different. They were even crossing the sea on the back of a whale as big as an island.
The senior nodded with a smile. It seemed that he was very familiar with this Senior Shan Whale because he often led young disciples here. He was leaning against a tree and began to chat with the Senior Shan Whale.
Except for Hua Shi, who had the best ability to accept, Zhou Li and others also gradually calmed down. They all had the mentality of young people. After being surprised, they all showed incredible expressions and began to observe the broad body of the whale.
Unfortunately, the distance was too short. In just a moment, the mountain whale had brought them to the coast.
The senior led everyone down from the whale's back, and everyone was finally able to see his full appearance.
It's a pity that this mountain whale didn't have much patience and enthusiasm. Before everyone could see clearly, it turned around and left, starting to greet the next group of disciples from Xuanqing Continent.
Hua Shi and the others followed the "Mountain Whale Senior" and were unable to recover from the scene for a long time. Even Zhou Li, who was always calm, couldn't help but murmur and ask, "Is this Mountain Whale Senior also one of the spiritual creatures in the Spirit Realm?"
The senior who led the team couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Of course, do you still want to sign a contract with Senior Shanjing?"
Zhou Li had just asked casually, but Hua Shi couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Is it okay?"
The senior who led the team didn't expect Hua Shi to react so strongly, and the other disciples turned their heads to look at him after hearing this question. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Logically speaking, it's possible, but Senior Shanjing is a tenth-level spiritual creature. With your current strength, you can't form a contract with it at all. No one in the entire Xuanqing Continent can form a contract with it now, so I advise you to give up this idea now. You should go find a fifth or sixth-level spiritual creature now, and form a contract with one or two spiritual creatures first. When you have achieved success in your cultivation in the future, it won't be too late to come to the Spirit Realm to look for high-level spiritual creatures. Many masters of our Spirit Dao do this."
Hua Shicai knew that this was actually possible: "Can I enter the spirit realm a second time?"
The senior nodded and said, "Of course, as long as the Spiritual Sea reaches the ninth level, you will be qualified to enter the Spiritual Realm for the second time."
Hua Shi took the words to heart, but he did not plan to come again for a second time. He just wanted to collect all three spiritual creatures this time and leave this place which was said to be dangerous as soon as possible.
However, while he was thinking this, the others had no sense of crisis at all. Several disciples recalled what the senior had just said and kept asking him questions: "Does Senior Mountain Whale always wait for other disciples here? Has no one ever been able to form a bond with it?"
"Hmm?" The senior who was in charge of taking care of them was very patient and answered all the disciples' questions. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Of course there is. I heard that Senior Shanjing once..."
He paused here, as if he had thought of something interesting. Everyone was also curious about him and hurriedly urged him to continue. The senior stroked his beard and then continued, "I heard that Senior Shanjing once fell in love with a certain spiritual disciple and even wanted to form a contract with that disciple, otherwise he would flip everyone on the whale's back into the sea."
Hua Shi: “…”
He roughly guessed from their previous interaction that this Senior Shanjing had a bad temper, but he didn't expect that he had been so overbearing and unreasonable.
What everyone was more curious about was who could actually gain the favor of a tenth-rank spiritual creature like the Mountain Whale, and from the results, that person actually rejected Senior Mountain Whale's request for a contract.
Everyone asked questions, even Hua Shi, who was in a hurry to finish his work and leave the Spirit Realm early, couldn't help but feel curious. The senior laughed twice and then said, "I know what you want to ask, but unfortunately, I don't know who that person was at that time. That incident happened a thousand years ago, but it's very strange that before Senior Shanjing said he wanted to form a contract with that disciple, the society had never noticed him. After that, everyone left the Spirit Realm and returned to Xuanqing Continent, intending to look for that disciple, but everyone found something very strange."
"What?" everyone asked hurriedly.
The senior said, "Everyone found that no matter whether it was the spiritual path or the evil path, they couldn't find the disciple at all. It was as if that person appeared out of thin air. No one knew his origins, his purpose, or even his name. He just sneaked into the Spiritual Transformation Conference and disappeared quietly after the Spiritual Transformation Conference. Until now, no one has figured out the truth of that year."
Someone asked, "Why didn't he form a pact with Senior Shanjing in the first place?"
There was a tenth-level spiritual creature that wanted to form a contract with him, but that person refused to agree. It was unbelievable no matter how you thought about it.
Hua Shi felt the same way.
"If a person doesn't want something that is delivered to his door, is he a fool?" Hua Shi habitually shared his thoughts with the system in his mind.
Fang Wei couldn't help but fall into memories after hearing this.
Why did he reject Shanjing's request for a bond?
It seemed that he did not know the rules of the contract at that time, nor was he aware that each person could only form a contract with three spirit creatures, so he first randomly selected two first-level spirit creatures, and later was forced to form a contract with an unreasonable tenth-level spirit creature. By the time he met the mountain whale, he no longer had the means to form a contract with it.
