Fang Wei really couldn't hear Hua Shi talking now, because he had used the power of his spiritual consciousness to control Hua Shi's body twice in a row, and he also used the spiritual state to suppress the power on the other side of the spiritual realm gate last night, so his energy was extremely consumed, and it would take a long time to recover.
In order to preserve his last bit of strength and not completely lose contact with Hua Shi due to excessive depletion of his spiritual consciousness, Fang Wei had to let his spiritual consciousness fall into a deep sleep for a short period of time and enter a process of self-repair.
Fang Wei, whose spirit had fallen into a deep sleep, finally regained consciousness back to his body.
Perhaps it was because most of his attention had been on Hua Shi's consciousness during this period of time, so when he suddenly lost the news from there and his consciousness returned to his body, Fang Wei felt a little unable to get used to it.
Fang Wei opened his eyes and looked at the familiar red pupil in front of him. Suddenly he realized something and couldn't help but frowned: "Should I say long time no see to you?"
The underground cave was still cold and damp, but the force suppressing from the giant beast in front of him was stronger than before. Even Fang Wei felt overwhelmed when facing this thing.
"This isn't my illusion, is it?" Fang Wei stared at the other person, his expression still calm, but his eyes hid many thoughts, "You've become stronger."
Moreover, this change did not happen slowly over a long period of time. Fang Wei had been trapped in this underground cave for a thousand years. Since the two became "neighbors", they had had countless conflicts and fought countless battles, but in the end, no one could do anything to the other.
It was also because of this that, after countless attempts and mutual losses, Fang Wei and the giant beast finally reached a kind of tacit understanding. They no longer attacked each other rashly, but just confronted each other in silence.
In order to avoid being killed by each other, they have never stopped practicing for thousands of years. During this entire thousand years, the strength of both of them has increased, but no matter how much stronger Fang Wei has become, the giant beast can always contend with him. No matter what methods the giant beast uses, Fang Wei can always defeat him together.
This kind of balance makes it impossible for both the man and the beast to relax, but now...
Fang Wei discovered that the other party's strength suddenly became stronger.
It’s not that Fang Wei has been slacking off in his cultivation recently, but the strange beast seems to have suddenly gained some power.
Fang Wei couldn't help but wonder about the source of this power.
If he had not released his spiritual sense to follow Hua Shi, perhaps he would not have had any way of knowing what had happened. But now he was very clear about what was happening outside. He knew that there was only one major event that had happened in Xuanqing Continent in recent days, and that was the holding of the Spirit Transformation Conference.
If there was one strange thing that happened during the Spirit Transformation Conference, it was that the spiritual creatures in the Spirit Realm suddenly became restless and the gate to the Spirit Realm almost lost control.
"The matter of the Spirit Realm Gate has something to do with you?"
Putting these two unusual things together, it is easy to come to this conclusion. Fang Wei stared at the strange beast and murmured, "What on earth are you?"
Of course, he did not expect the strange beast to respond to this. He just felt that his situation over the past thousand years was absurd. He was trapped here by accident and forced to fight this ferocious beast for a thousand years, but he had no idea what the other party was.
What made Fang Wei feel even more thorny was that he had previously been able to fight the beast to a draw, and even suppress it when he was lucky, but now...
This giant beast has begun to grow stronger with the changes in the Spirit Realm Gate. It may still be within the controllable range now. Although it is a little difficult, it is not impossible to fight with the opponent. However, if such a thing happens again in the future and the opponent's strength continues to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He must find a way to control the development of things next and not give the other party the opportunity to become stronger. Otherwise, before he can let Hua Shi unlock the seal of the underground abyss, he will be killed by the giant beast in the underground abyss.
And there will be no trace of the body left.
There was a constant flow of breath in the air, and the giant beast's low roar was suppressed in this small space. Fang Wei concentrated his mind and fought against the opponent without any slackness in his spirit.
The stones on the ground kept shaking, as if an invisible force was tearing this narrow space apart. It was not until a long time later that the movement finally stopped temporarily, and the space returned to tranquility again.
After staring at Fang Wei for a long time, the giant beast finally withdrew its gaze and closed its eyes, as if it was taking a nap.
Fang Wei had a smile on his lips, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the coming storm, but the moment the giant beast withdrew its gaze, only he knew that he felt a little relieved in his heart.
The giant beast had been fighting with him for many years and had long been wary of him. It would not act rashly now. If it was not sure that it could kill Fang Wei, it would not attack rashly.
The man and the beast reached a temporary reconciliation.
But this is only temporary. The key to the next matter may still lie with Hua Shi.
Seeing that the strange beast had temporarily given up the attack, Fang Wei sat back in his original position, searching for his own spiritual consciousness that was still dormant, and gradually transferred his consciousness back to that spiritual consciousness.
Fang Wei had no idea how much time had passed while confronting the strange beast in the underground cave. When his consciousness returned to his spiritual awareness, Fang Wei felt that Hua Shi seemed to be in a carriage. The carriage was shaking slightly, and the wheels made a gurgling sound. Fang Wei was trying to wake him up, speaking to him intermittently.
"System? Are you really silent?"
"Are you unhappy because I chose the Master of Xuanling Pavilion? Or do you want me to choose the Master of Poxuezhai? But that person doesn't look very reliable. I always feel that it would be very hard to be his disciple... Wait, you don't really want me to be Ji Yuan's apprentice, do you? I will never agree to that!"
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you please talk? Or did you notice that I was dazed and didn't practice for the past two days? I swear I was only lazy for two hours, and I didn't do it on purpose..."
Fang Wei finally couldn't keep silent any longer after hearing this, he corrected her, "It wasn't two days, it was four days, and it wasn't just two hours, you've been too lazy in your training recently."
When Hua Shi heard Fang Wei's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed again and said in surprise: "System, you finally pay attention to me?!"
Fang Wei responded, and after a moment of silence, he finally confessed: "Something happened in Tianqing City last night, and the gate to the Spirit Realm could hardly be closed. I used my power to help the Lord of the Spiritual Dao suppress the gate to the Spirit Realm, so I temporarily lost my power and was unable to respond."
He did not mention the fact that he had borrowed Hua Shi's body. After all, it was not a pleasant experience to have one's body borrowed by someone else at will. Fang Wei was not going to use this method again unless it was necessary. He had already reluctantly used this method twice. If there was a next time, it would be time for this spiritual consciousness to dissipate and leave Hua Shi's body.
Hua Shi heard what he said and asked nervously, "So we really ran into something big?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Fortunately, we escaped early and have nothing to do with this matter."
Fang Wei was silent for a moment and did not tell him that he was the one who "personally" solved the problem last night.
Fang Wei then began to release his spiritual sense to observe the surrounding environment. They should still be on the way to Xuanling Pavilion, but he didn't know how long they had been there. Although Xuan Shuzhi said that Hua Shi would temporarily forget his identity as a young master of a noble family and start practicing alone after going to Xuanling Pavilion, in fact, on the way back, Xuan Shuzhi did not treat Hua Shi badly, or he did not let his disciples adapt to the hard life of practice immediately, and took the initiative to arrange carriages for them.
Xuan Shuzhi did not travel with Hua Shi. He seemed to have something to deal with and did not stay in the convoy. It was unclear when he would show up again.
Fang Wei's consciousness had returned to the underground cave, and he didn't know what happened here. Now he wanted to ask Hua Shi, but Hua Shi didn't know what he was thinking. After sitting alone in the carriage with his head down for a while, he suddenly asked Fang Wei in his mind: "System, you won't disappear suddenly again, right?"
Without waiting for Fang Wei to answer, Hua Shi couldn't help but whispered, "You disappeared for a whole day from this morning until just now. I called you all day and I thought you..."
Fang Wei didn't expect Hua Shi to care so much about the existence of his "system". He was slightly stunned, but quickly responded: "No."
Hua Shi couldn't help but say, "No one asked you to chat with me all day."
Fang Wei couldn't help laughing: "I usually don't chat with you, most of the time it's you who talks."
Hua Shi: “…”
Although Fang Wei was telling the truth, Hua Shi couldn't help but want to refute. After talking to Fang Wei for a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "There are many systems like yours in the world, right? How did you come about? Where did you come from?"
Fang Wei had no way to explain this matter. Although he did encounter many systems when he first came to look for Hua Shi, he was not the same type as those systems. He was just a substitute.
While he was silent, Hua Shi spoke again: "Are you artificial intelligence? Or are you servants of the main brain of the main world, helping him find hosts in each world and then rule all the small worlds or something..."
Although Fang Wei didn't know the real reason why the system was formed, he knew that even if there really was a main brain, he couldn't figure out the point of creating things like the chef system, the concubine system, the sick system, etc. to rule the world.
He interrupted Hua Shi and said, "Host, please read less."
Hua Shi paused, seemingly in a good mood because the system was back. When he heard Fang Wei's words, he couldn't help scratching his head and laughing.
He added: "But I don't think you are some kind of artificial intelligence, more like..."
He was just thinking about how to describe it when the carriage suddenly stopped. Hua Shi raised his head and lifted the curtain to take a look, only to find that the front seemed to be the location of Xuanling Pavilion.
Hua Shi thought about the hard training life that was about to begin, and his expression was unusually complicated: "Is it here?"
As he was speaking, the disciples in other carriages also lifted the curtains one after another, and then many people slowly got off. Hua Shi also got off the carriage carrying his luggage.
What catches the eye is a courtyard with beautiful mountains and waters. The gate of the courtyard is spacious, and on both sides stand white jade statues with flowing clothes like fairies. The buildings in the entire courtyard are mostly white, with the rolling green hills and winding blue waters behind. The courtyard is filled with mist and rainbow light, just like a fairyland.
Hua Shi was slightly shocked by what he saw, and couldn't help but whisper in his heart: "Is this the Xuanling Pavilion?"
He had never thought that he could find such a fairyland just by picking a sect at random. He felt happy immediately and couldn't help but said to the system: "Practicing in such a place shouldn't be too bad, right?"
When Hua Shi first heard the name of Xuanling Pavilion, he thought that this sect was probably just an ordinary attic. Now he realizes that his guess was completely wrong.
Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Do you think that Hanxi Sect only has one stream, and Tianwen Mountain is really on the mountain?"
Hua Shi asked quickly: "Isn't that so?"
Fang Wei said: "Of course not. The reason why Hanxi Sect is called Hanxi Sect is because they are in a place called Hanxi City, and Tianwen Mountain is not on the mountain. They are on an island called Tianwenzhou."
Hua Shi: “…”
He was just about to ask whether there was no palace in Fengyu Palace, and whether the Blood Crow Cult had any connection with crows. However, at this moment, a figure in white clothes floated over from a distance. It was Xuan Shuzhi who appeared in front of everyone with a smile.
"It looks like the time is just right." Xuan Shuzhi looked at the young disciples who had just arrived here, and his gaze stayed on Hua Shi the longest. Then he turned around, pushed open the gate of the villa courtyard, squinted his eyes and smiled lazily, "Then come in and take a look at where you will live in the future."
In front of the gate, the group of disciples who had just participated in the Spirit Transformation Conference and were admitted to the Xuanling Pavilion were full of anticipation and curiosity. They walked into the gate of the Xuanling Pavilion in twos and threes following Xuan Shuzhi. Behind the gate, the Xuanling Pavilion brothers and sisters who had prepared in advance had also waited there early and began to busy themselves with arranging accommodations for the new brothers and sisters.
Only Hua Shi remained where he was, and couldn't help frowning as he looked at this harmonious scene.
"Why do I always feel like something is wrong?"
