Wind Devouring The World - C96

“Haha …”

“I don’t know how to communicate with you.”

Geng Dan’s voice immediately resounded in his mind, “Just speak directly.”

Ji Feng was only trying, but he did not expect the Geng Dan in his sea of consciousness to actually hear him. He did not dare to delay and immediately asked, “Do you know the reason behind all these?”

“This isn’t an earthquake but a result of the magic array I’ve set up.”

“Why is this happening? Is it because you’re not outside? ”

“That’s right, my soul orbs are closely connected to those magic arrays. If not for the soul orbs, those magic arrays would have collapsed very quickly.”

“What do you want?”

“I’m going out.”

“I don’t know how to get you out. Besides, didn’t you go in yourself? Don’t you have any way of getting out? ”

“So many of my soul orbs have been devoured by your soul orbs, moreover, the pressure it posed was too much for my soul orbs. If you don’t cooperate, I won’t be able to leave at all.”

“How do you want me to cooperate?” Of course, Ji Feng did not want to be buried here, so he immediately asked.

“You show me the position of the fondue, and I can leave from there.”

If Geng Dan took the opportunity to take over the palace, he would lose the control of his body.

Therefore, he said, “How can I believe that you did not seize the opportunity to take my body?”

“You can only trust me, or you will be buried here.”

“If I die here, will you be able to continue existing?”

“Anyway, I’m already a dead man. It doesn’t matter.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it then.” While talking, Ji Feng continued to run towards his destination based on his memory.

“Aren’t you going to think about it?” However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard Geng Dan’s voice again. This time, Geng Dan’s voice was no longer as calm as it was before.

“There’s no need to think about it. Rather than having your body occupied, why don’t we finish it together?”

After a brief moment of silence, Geng Dan sighed and said, “Okay, you win. Let’s talk about the terms before we go out.”

“Tell me about it.” Ji Feng’s meaning was very simple. If the conditions are not satisfactory to me, then there was no need to talk about it.

Of course, Geng Dan could understand Ji Feng’s subconscious, but in such a situation, he did not expect it to turn out like this. He had recruited all the ghosts into his soul orb in order to devour Ji Feng’s soul, so as to enhance his own strength. After all, he was once a Divine level cultivator. At this moment, he roughly understood why he was defeated so miserably. The reason was probably because he did not have a body.

Knowing that he couldn’t delay any longer, Geng Dan immediately said, “I only have this little soul orb left, even if I were to leave, it would dissipate sooner or later, so I need a body as a carrier. When my strength reaches a certain level, I will need a body, and this body will need you to find it for me. As compensation, before I regain my body, if you have any problems on the road of cultivation, you can ask as much as you want.”

“The matter of compensation can be discussed later. As for the carrier and the body, I can understand them, but I don’t know what a carrier is.”

“The carrier I’m talking about is the place where my soul orb and soul are stored. It’s best if it’s a spatial artifact. Only a sealed spatial artifact can prevent the energy in my soul orb from leaking.”

Ji Feng immediately thought of his storage ring on his left index finger and asked, “Can I have a storage ring?”

Hearing Ji Feng’s words, Geng Dan immediately exclaimed, “What? You have an interspatial ring?”

If Geng Dan was a God Level Cultivator with a body, he would have definitely found Ji Feng’s spatial ring long ago. However, he only had his soul and soul orb left, moreover, all of his attention was on how to take over Ji Feng’s body and recover his strength.

Ji Feng suddenly thought of a problem and said, “Are you trying to take over my space ring?”

Geng Dan could hear the reluctance in Ji Feng’s words and said, “Not really, I just need to attach myself to the space ring. If I really go in, your space ring will be broken.”

“Why?”

“The spatial ring needs spirit energy to be controlled. My soul orbs and soul are spirit energy, how can you control the ring when there’s interference from each other. Besides, you have no way to control the ring, so I can’t leave, unless I destroy the ring. However, if I forcefully destroy the ring, the space inside will collapse, and my soul and soul orb will disappear. ”

“Your soul orb is so much larger than the ring, why would it be attached to it?”

“This is my problem, the vibrations should be very intense now, right? I have to get out at once. ”

It was just as Geng Dan had said, the tremors outside were getting more intense. The cracks on the walls grew larger and larger, as did the falling stones.

Even so, Ji Feng didn’t let his consciousness leave his Niwan Palace to let Geng Dan pass. Instead, he said, “After saying so much, you still haven’t said how I can avoid being taken over by you?”

“I swear.”

“I don’t believe in oaths.”

“What do you want?”

“I thought you didn’t come through my fondue?”

“My soul orbs from before weren’t this small, right?”

“How about this, you think of a way to shrink your soul orb a bit smaller, so I can leave some space for you.”

“This request is too difficult. Why don’t we sign a contract?”

“What contract?” A slave contract? ”

“Of course it’s a contract of equality.”

“This won’t do, I don’t know if your contract will harm me, so it’s better for you to shrink your soul orbs a little. Otherwise, don’t bother with me.” The tone of Ji Feng was firm, even though the degree of shock he suffered was increasing, the stones that had fallen were now the size of a fist.

“Gathering the broken soul orbs together had already consumed a lot of my energy. If I were to forcefully shrink them, I would fall into a deep sleep.”

“It’s your business, isn’t it?”

“Are you really not afraid of death?”

“It’s my business, isn’t it?”

After a few seconds of pause, Geng Dan said sadly, “You win.”

As Geng Dan spoke, he immediately took action. He had to accept the threat of the monsoon, even though he had already died once. It was precisely because he had died once that he wanted to live, to live on.

The task Geng Dan had to do was very simple, he had to dissipate a portion of the soul orb’s mental energy, making the orb shrink on its own. Of course, he had another method. Using his own mental strength to suppress the soul orb, and forcefully shrinking it. However, his strength had been greatly reduced, and he currently did not have the ability to do so.

Seeing that Geng Dan had agreed, Ji Feng immediately looked at the Geng Dan in his sea of consciousness. The soul bead that was the size of a glass ball suddenly emitted a blinding blue light. It was like a sun in the dark sea of consciousness. Under the gaze of Ji Feng, Geng Dan’s soul orb shrunk until it was only a third of its original size. The other two-thirds was separated out by Geng Dan, and Ji Feng saw that all the separated spiritual energy was absorbed by his soul orb.

The blue light dispersed and the soul orb that had shrunk to two-thirds of its original size floated silently in Ji Feng’s sea of consciousness. However, it was able to avoid his soul orb by a great margin.

Just then, Geng Dan’s voice sounded out in Ji Feng’s head: “Are you ready? I’m going out. ”

“Mm, you can come out.”

As Ji Feng spoke, he controlled his consciousness and revealed a gap in his Niwan Palace’s soul orb that he could pass through easily. Although it sounded very simple, it was the first time he had done so. Moreover, he tried two or three times before succeeding. Geng Dan thought he was dawdling and couldn’t help but urge him. When he saw the gap, he immediately dived in. His speed was extremely fast, and in just a split-second, he was already out of Ji Feng’s reach. When he felt something in his right hand, he realized that Geng Dan had already come out.

At this time, Geng Dan’s soul orb once again released a dazzling blue light. Once the blue light appeared, it immediately disappeared into the surrounding stone walls. Not long after, the wind sensed that the vibrations had started to slow down and then suddenly disappeared. After the surroundings quieted down, Ji Feng’s attention returned to his right hand, only to find that it was empty.

(And later)
