Ning Wuji walked a little further, and his feelings became increasingly strange.
The surrounding environment seemed unchanged, but if one paid close attention, one could sense the faint, almost imperceptible, spiritual energy flowing through the air.
Moreover, a few sparse black plants grew by the roadside, which were particularly eye-catching.
Ning Wuji's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around to look back, only to find to his surprise that Qin Feng and Chu Xingyao had already disappeared without a trace.
His face instantly darkened as he pondered, "What on earth is going on? I haven't gone very far, so why have they disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Just as Ning Wuji was puzzled, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.
The figure was not tall, only about 1.1 or 1.2 meters. Because it was shrouded in a hazy white light, its true appearance could not be seen.
Judging from its shape alone, it seems quite similar to a human.
Upon seeing this, Ning Wuji was greatly alarmed and instinctively took a few steps back.
He stared warily at the white figure before him, and nervously asked, "You... what are you?"
Although he couldn't know for sure who the other person was, a strong intuition deep down told him that this mysterious white figure was definitely not a good person.
"Are you afraid?" the white figure suddenly spoke, his voice icy and chilling.
Ning Wuji was startled, but a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"You think I'm afraid of you? What a joke!"
He tried to remain calm as he spoke.
However, only he knew in his heart that he was extremely nervous at this moment.
After all, this is the tomb of the gods, filled with countless unknown and mysterious dangers, and this white figure is even more terrifying.
"Hehehe..."
The white figure emitted a chilling laugh that seemed to penetrate one's soul, sending shivers down one's spine.
Its laughter finally stopped after a long while.
"Kid, you're quite interesting!" the white figure said sarcastically.
"If you're not afraid of me, why are you trembling so violently?"
Ning Wuji was immediately embarrassed, only then realizing that his legs had begun to tremble involuntarily.
Despite being gripped by fear deep inside, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "I did it on purpose, so what? Come and bite me if you dare!"
"Hehehe, this little guy is quite interesting!" the white figure chuckled softly, seemingly showing a hint of interest in Ning Wuji. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to keep arguing with you!"
"Boy, do you want to get a chance?" The white figure changed the subject, a sly glint in his eyes.
"If you want it, I can give you a great opportunity!"
Ning Wuji frowned slightly, a hint of indifference in his eyes, and said calmly, "I don't need it!"
He knew full well that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Perhaps there was indeed some kind of opportunity hidden here, but obtaining it would be by no means easy.
The white-clad figure let out a mocking laugh: "Heh heh, I was willing to offer you a chance, but you're ungrateful? Well, that's not up to you!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Wuji became wary and stared at the white figure with a guarded expression.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that the other party would give him an opportunity for no reason.
At this moment, the white figure suddenly waved his arm casually, and in an instant, a thin white light screen appeared around Ning Wuji, quickly condensing into a small square space, trapping him inside.
Ning Wuji's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, swung his right arm, and slammed his fist into the white barrier.
With a loud bang, Ning Wuji was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow. He flew two or three meters before crashing to the ground in a disheveled state.
Although he did not suffer any physical harm, he experienced sharp pain in his right hand, as if it were being burned by raging fire.
"Kid, you're far too naive!"
The white-clad figure let out a disdainful laugh. "You have no cultivation whatsoever, yet you dare to try and shake a tree like an ant? It's utterly delusional and a ridiculous joke!"
Ning Wuji slowly stood up with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on the white figure, filled with both doubt and apprehension.
He knew that his actions just now were indeed too naive. What trapped him was obviously an extremely powerful barrier, which he could not shake in the slightest with his current abilities.
Even if he still possessed the cultivation level he had when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he would probably be powerless to do anything about it.
However, what puzzled him was why the other party would use such a powerful barrier to trap him.
After all, with the opponent's unfathomable strength, taking his life would be as easy as turning his hand, as effortless as crushing an insignificant ant.
Was the other party doing this simply out of boredom and to tease?
What exactly do you want?
Ning Wuji stared fearlessly at the white figure, his expression shifting unpredictably, sometimes as gloomy as water, and sometimes flashing with a glimmer of hope.
The white-clad figure smiled slightly and chuckled, "Haha, didn't I already say that I would give you a chance?"
Then, changing his tone, he said solemnly, "But whether you can obtain this opportunity depends entirely on your own abilities!"
"What's trapping you is a time barrier. As long as you can comprehend the laws of time, you can break free!"
The white-clad figure paused slightly before continuing, "And you will also receive my inheritance!"
Ning Wuji was stunned for a moment, speechless. "Are you kidding me?"
"How could I, an ordinary mortal with no cultivation, possibly comprehend such profound and unfathomable laws of time?"
"The law of time, that's one of the most powerful laws!"
The white-clad figure spoke earnestly, "How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?"
"If you cannot comprehend the laws of time, then death awaits you."
After saying that, the white figure vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ning Wuji frowned, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. "Comprehend the laws of time... can I do it?"
...
Qin Feng and Chu Xingyao remained where they were, without moving forward.
Chu Xingyao stared ahead for a long time, her brows furrowing slightly. "So much time has passed, and that good-for-nothing still hasn't appeared. Could it be that he's already met with some misfortune?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "Calm down!"
"If he truly encounters his own opportune moment, it will definitely take time!"
Chu Xingyao pondered for a moment, then nodded. "That's right!"
"However, we can't just sit idly by; we still need to find a way to leave the Law Space as soon as possible!"
"We can't put all our hopes on that good-for-nothing."
