After pretending to cultivate for a while, Qi Zhiheng created the illusion of a successful transformation. He had seen this kind of situation many times before, as his family members had already undergone the transformation many times.
It was true that a tribulation lightning would descend if things were done properly, but this space was almost entirely beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible for a tribulation lightning to occur. Qi Zhiheng made only token preparations for three days before stopping his cultivation.
"You succeeded." The excitement in Xun Dao's voice was almost undisguised. At that moment, the bell above rang again.
Qi Zhiheng waited for his next move.
Yang Yitian heard the bell ring again and kept looking up, hesitating whether he should go up now.
But the sound of that bell makes me dizzy...
Yang Yitian yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.
Qi Zhiheng was in a similar situation, except that he regained consciousness immediately, which suggests that the bell was used to control people's will.
Qi Zhiheng pretended to be drowsy: "Senior, I feel so sleepy."
Xun Dao then sat down opposite him and placed a stone in his hand, saying, "Take this."
Qi Zhiheng took a look and was surprised to find it was a Boundary Stone! What incredible luck he had!
At this moment, the array on the carpet that had been laid out earlier also began to activate.
Xun Dao was determined to change his identity, and the moment the formation was activated, he changed locations.
This place is completely unfamiliar and doesn't belong to any corner of the island.
Upon seeing this scene, Xun Dao burst into laughter: "I'm finally out! I've finally made it out! Hahaha!"
Qi Zhiheng looked at the old man who was so happy in his own space and felt embarrassed to indulge his sweet dreams.
Well, let's let this old man have some fun first.
In that instant, Qi Zhiheng threw him directly into his own space.
The next step was to integrate the entire island. He took out the guide stone, held it in his hand, stood up, and walked downstairs.
The bells had stopped ringing by then.
When Yang Yitian came to his senses, Qi Zhiheng was already standing in front of him.
Yang Yitian rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Qi Zhiheng! Are you alright!"
"It's alright, let's go out first." Qi Zhiheng patted his back. "Let go first."
Yang Yitian obediently let go.
Qi Zhiheng placed the small piece of the guide stone into Yang Yitian's hand. As long as there is a small piece of the guide stone, it can stabilize a small area of the spatial passage, preventing people from being torn to pieces by the spatial passage. This is why Xundao placed the guide stone in Qi Zhiheng's hand.
With the merging of the two spaces, they would inevitably be unable to remain within the space. Therefore, to ensure Yang Yitian's safety, it was natural to hand over this small piece of the boundary stone to him.
Qi Zhiheng still had a large piece of the pie in his hand, so he wasn't afraid of any potential problems.
Yang Yitian gripped the boundary stone tightly.
Qi Zhiheng stood in front of the clock tower, pressed his hand against it, and tried to put the clock tower into his own space.
The entire space was trembling. The clock tower was now connected to the island, and it was impossible to completely take the clock tower in alone; they could only be integrated like this.
Just as Qi Zhiheng was about to take over the entire space, everything in front of him turned into a white blur, and Yang Yitian quickly grabbed Qi Zhiheng's sleeve.
At this moment, Qi Zhiheng's mind had entered the space, and his body fainted.
Just as he was happily searching for his newfound freedom, a scene flashed before his eyes, and the whole world was shrouded in mist.
Seeing that something was wrong, the Heavenly Water Beast took its child and dived into the deep water.
Xun Dao had a bad feeling; his body gradually became transparent, and he soon became a will.
Having become a force of will, he saw Qi Zhiheng.
Finally realizing what was happening, Xun Dao roared, "It's you! What trick have you played! How did I become like this!"
That's right, that wasn't his original plan at all. How could he have just come out like that?
He should have Qi Zhiheng take his place as the spirit of the artifact first, and then he could possess Qi Zhiheng's body. At that time, he could use Qi Zhiheng's identity to get out!
Everything was planned perfectly, so how did it suddenly turn out like this?
I was just too impulsive; how could I not have thought of these things?
Without saying a word, Qi Zhiheng launched a direct soul power attack, as he was quite skilled at devouring remnant souls.
Not long after, the soul seeking the Dao vanished without a trace.
This is not the end yet. Next, the two spaces will merge, and the Moon Beast will return to the sky.
With Qi Zhiheng's guidance, the subsequent integration naturally followed a logical path.
The fog in the space grew thicker and thicker, and all the changes to come would take place within this fog.
Qi Zhiheng's soul withdrew from the space before it completely turned into a fog.
He opened his eyes, and all he saw was a blank white expanse. A force was pulling him from his arm.
He turned his head and saw Yang Yitian holding his arm tightly.
"You're awake?" Yang Yitian felt like he had found his pillar of support when he saw that the person had finally woken up.
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "He's awake." After thinking for a moment, he used the spatial channel belonging to the island space to record and bring Yang Yitian back to the sea.
Qi Zhiheng hugged his waist, and the two swam towards the sea.
In fact, this place is not far from the sea surface. People used to think that the island was in the deep sea, but that was just a misconception.
Although this place isn't considered deep sea, it's still quite deep, and such waters are fraught with danger. After killing several monsters, the two successfully returned to the surface.
Strangely, there are quite a few people here.
It wasn't surprising that Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian came out. After making a few inquiries, he learned that the island ruins hadn't been explored for a long time, and many people wanted to go underwater to investigate.
The unremarkable Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian rode their flying magical artifact towards Chu Hai City.
"It's a good thing you prepared a flying artifact for me, otherwise I would have had to fly back by myself this time." Yang Yitian controlled the flying artifact.
Qi Zhiheng's space is temporarily unusable, and he rarely keeps his belongings in storage containers, so he naturally can't take out his flying artifact.
On the flying artifact, Qi Zhiheng recounted the information he had gained from digesting the memories of seeking the Dao to Yang Yitian.
Xun Dao obtained a cultivation technique thousands of years ago, becoming the first person in the Xuanling Continent to do so.
Xun Dao was determined to reach the Golden Core stage and searched everywhere for a way to leave this continent, but he had not received any news. By chance, he found a small piece of the Boundary Guide Stone.
He didn't know what the Boundary Stone was, but that didn't stop him from knowing that it was no ordinary object.
Then he discovered an island inhabited by some poor indigenous people, so he simply built a city there.
The reason he stayed was because of the clock tower on the island. As a cultivator, Xun Dao naturally saw that it was different from others. It was a spiritual artifact, which made him very excited. More importantly, this spiritual artifact had a spirit, which had a lot of knowledge that Xun Dao could teach.
What Xun Dao most wanted to know was naturally to find a way to leave the Xuanling Continent, but how could leaving the Xuanling Continent be such an easy thing? Even the Bell Tower couldn't possibly know.
Later, as Xun Dao's lifespan shortened day by day, his desire to leave the Xuanling Continent diminished considerably. At that time, what he wanted most was to gain more lifespan.
The spirit in the clock tower said that as long as one seeks the Way and follows its instructions, one can have a longer lifespan.
One of the requirements for the clock tower was to capture the spirits of all the city's inhabitants.
Xun Dao followed the Bell Tower's instructions and even wrote down his vow to become the spirit of the artifact. After that, the Bell Tower's spiritual energy took over his body, and Xun Dao replaced the original artifact spirit and was imprisoned on the island.
What Xun Dao didn't know was that the spirit of the artifact wanted the souls of these people in order to strengthen its own soul, so that it could have a higher chance of completing the ritual.
Seeking the Way, he killed the citizens of a city, and the entire island sank into the sea.
This clock tower is a decent spatial artifact. However, the Path of Seeking and the artifact are not born together; there are always some incompatibilities, which prevents it from fully integrating with the entire island.
He slowly merged with the space, and after thousands of years, he finally gained control of the entire palace's location. With the core under his control, many things became clear. Since he could control the space, this naturally included those "people" within it who had lost their souls.
He needed to find someone to swap him out, so he came into the world.
The emergence of the ruins naturally attracted many people, but entering the true core was extremely difficult. Therefore, the Seeker of the Dao separated a small portion of his divine soul and sent a "person" out to sell information. This information was sold to many people, hoping that someone could find the place to enter and replace him.
That document was the one that Qi Zhiheng bought.
This information is partly true and partly false, but it can still guide people to a certain extent.
What followed was a natural progression, with Qi Zhiheng becoming the target of the quest for enlightenment.
After finishing their conversation, the two returned to the shore of Chuhai City.
"I wonder if my uncle and the others have gone back yet." After getting ashore, Yang Yitian glanced in the direction of Yan Yu's house.
Qi Zhiheng said, "We'll find out if we go ask."
"Okay, we've been gone for so many days, I wonder if my uncle and the others are worried." Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng walked towards Yan Yu's residence.
The house was reached quickly.
Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged man opened the door and asked, "Who are you two looking for?"
Qi Zhiheng asked, "Is Young Master Yan Yu at home? Qi Zhiheng has come to pay a visit."
"Are you looking for Young Master Yan Yu? They haven't returned yet," the butler replied.
Qi Zhiheng: "Do you know where he went?"
"Young Master has gone to find someone; he should be back around dark," the butler replied.
