"Where exactly are you taking me?"
Chu Lingwei's wrist was tightly held by Wuming, and she wanted to break free but had no way to do so.
What worried her even more was that she couldn't contact the illusory cat in her spatial dimension.
"The center of the Spirit Domain."
Wuming pulled Chu Lingwei and descended for a full three hours before stopping on a platform.
Chu Lingwei looked around. They hadn't landed on solid ground but seemed to be in a starry sky. Besides the platform beneath their feet, there was nowhere else to stand; there was no solid matter.
"This is the center of the Spirit Domain?"
Chu Lingwei slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the platform, and reached out to touch the floating stars.
"If you touch them, your hand will be ruined," Wuming grabbed Chu Lingwei's hand and pulled her back. "Everything here could turn you into ashes."
Chu Lingwei couldn't help but shiver. It was that terrifying.
"Now you're scared?" Wuming stared at Chu Lingwei and chuckled. "It seems your master didn't teach you to remain vigilant no matter where you are."
"Whether my master taught me or not has nothing to do with you. You'd better take care of yourself," Chu Lingwei said, looking at Wuming's chest.
During their descent, Wuming's chest wound had recurred and was now bleeding.
"There's no way to stop the bleeding here," Wuming pursed his lips and looked around, his eyes turning cold. "So, we must hurry, or we will both die here."
"How can it be impossible to stop the bleeding?"
Chu Lingwei took out the highest-grade hemostatic pill prepared by her second senior brother from her storage bag and shoved it into Wuming's mouth. "Eat it quickly."
Wuming opened his mouth and swallowed the pill, but the blood on his chest still flowed unabated.
"It's really impossible to stop the bleeding," Chu Lingwei finally believed him; he wasn't lying. "Knowing that you couldn't stop the bleeding here, you still chose to come in at this time?"
"I didn't know. I just found out." Wuming shook his head, but even if he had known before, he would have entered without hesitation.
"What should we do now?" Chu Lingwei became serious. Here, they could encounter danger at any moment, and they couldn't be careless.
"This is an illusion. We need to find the eye of the formation and break the illusion."
Wuming channeled a surge of spiritual energy towards one of the stars. A massive spiritual power erupted, and Chu Lingwei felt the ground above them begin to shake violently.
"Such a realistic illusion."
Since the illusory cat was most skilled in illusions, Chu Lingwei had seen many high-level illusion formations. The illusion formation here was far more powerful than those she had seen from the illusory cat.
"This is the center of the Spirit Domain, supporting the entire Spirit Domain. Such a place must be extraordinary."
Wuming sneered, continuously unleashing spiritual energy from his hands. Chu Lingwei watched as the stars around her exploded one by one. Some were like bursting dams, others like volcanic eruptions; all involved immense spiritual energy impacts.
"You're not planning to blow up all the stars here, are you?" Chu Lingwei stood on the platform. Fortunately, any spiritual energy that reached the platform dissipated automatically.
"I just want to see if the changes here will have any effect above." Wuming stopped his actions. "Obviously, nothing will happen."
Chu Lingwei began to inquire around. If this was an illusion formation, there had to be something different.
"Are you sure this is really the center of the Spirit Domain?"
Chu Lingwei thought about the three hours they had been falling. Their speed was very fast, but the idea that this was the center of the Spirit Domain still didn't quite make sense.
This was the Spirit Domain, where spiritual energy could shrink the distance, so it shouldn't be this shallow.
"Don't you think there's anything different about this place?" Wuming sat down on the platform and began to continuously circulate his spiritual energy. Blood still flowed from his chest, and his face was pale.
Chu Lingwei looked at Wuming like this and forgot to observe her surroundings for a moment.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, staring at me like this is useless," Wuming said softly without opening his eyes.
"That's not necessarily true," Chu Lingwei shook her head. She had always felt that this person had a purpose in bringing her here. "Perhaps, once Fellow Daoist Wuming's blood is gone, I can leave."
Wuming burst into laughter and looked at Chu Lingwei amusingly, saying nothing.
Chu Lingwei wasn't in a hurry at all. It wasn't her who was injured, after all. She needed to ascertain this person's identity before deciding whether to help him.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you still don't believe me." Wuming sighed helplessly.
"That's not it. I just want to know why we entered here," Chu Lingwei chuckled. She wasn't that foolish.
"There is something of mine here, and I must retrieve it."
"What is it?" Chu Lingwei's voice turned cold. The moment Wuming spoke, she felt the surroundings slowly change.
Wuming also felt the abnormality and his expression changed. He quickly stood up. "Fellow Daoist Chu, be careful!"
"Didn't you say this was an illusion formation?"
Everything inside an illusion formation was fake.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, have you ever heard of a formless illusion formation?" Wuming strode forward, directly blocking in front of Chu Lingwei, drawing his curved saber. Spiritual energy flickered on the blade.
Formless illusion formation.
Chu Lingwei's heart skipped a beat. A formless illusion formation was the highest form among all illusion formations. Everything within it was an illusion, but it could take form.
In other words, in a formless illusion formation, all things had become real, whether they were objects or people.
However, formless illusion formations only existed in legends. The entire Xuantian Continent had never encountered one in ten thousand years.
"This is a formless illusion formation?"
As soon as Chu Lingwei spoke, a green dragon flew towards them. It carried immense spiritual energy and was covered in green flames, turning everything it touched into smoke.
"Be careful."
Chu Lingwei was greatly alarmed. She unleashed her Ice Jade Frost Sword, but before it could get close, it was sent flying by the green dragon.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, quickly take cover."
Wuming, holding his saber, flew forward and stood above the green dragon's head, plunging his saber into its vulnerable spot.
!!!!!!
This was too powerful.
This strength was terrifying.
Before Chu Lingwei could finish her amazement, the green dragon's body shrank to the thickness of a human arm, and Wuming heavily threw it towards Chu Lingwei.
"A mere little green dragon is nothing to boast about."
The green dragon wasn't dead. Its body wriggled continuously, trying to crawl towards Chu Lingwei's feet.
