The moment the miniature [Moon God's Wrath, Spear of the Healer's War] condensed, it almost drained Spring's soul force.
Not only the force within his body, but even the lake in his divine platform was directly depleted.
And at this moment, it was different from what was described in the secret art.
It didn't dissipate after the attack.
Instead, it turned around and returned to Chu Tian's divine platform.
Although it had eliminated the beetle, Chu Tian's body also swayed.
His vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground.
This series of events happened in mere seconds.
Seeing Chu Tian's state, Ma Deju stepped forward.
He supported Chu Tian and a five-pointed star appeared in his hand. He threw it fiercely at their feet.
"Lin..."
*Bang*, a puff of white smoke emerged.
Both of them disappeared simultaneously.
The next second, a hunched old man wearing a death-gray cloak appeared. Great Wind Novel Network
He only lingered for a moment before vanishing.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tian slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself on an airplane.
Beside him, the author Ma Deju had a grim expression.
Seeing Chu Tian awake, he seemed to be suppressing discomfort and said, "You're awake?"
Chu Tian nodded and, feeling weak, didn't speak.
He closed his eyes and looked inward at his divine platform.
Originally, Chu Tian's divine platform's divine lake had been unfathomably deep.
Now, he could see the bottom.
However, a small amount of water had already begun to form within it.
Chu Tian knew that this was the divine source, condensed from soul force.
He glanced again at the miniature [Moon God's Wrath, Spear of the Healer's War] suspended on the lake island, atop the tree canopy.
It just floated there, rising and falling.
What was going on?
Chu Tian attempted to use the secret art again, preparing to decompose it into soul force.
Unfortunately, after several attempts, it remained completely unresponsive.
The secret art had failed...
Helplessly, he could only exit the divine platform and wait for his soul force to recover slowly.
But judging by the speed, it would take a hundred or eighty years for the divine lake to be full.
Exiting the divine platform, he saw that the sapling within his body had grown much sturdier.
It had grown from a bean sprout into a plump bean sprout.
That was all!
And the five tendrils above it had also grown considerably.
They were only an inch away from his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
He wondered what changes would occur when they touched his five internal organs.
Suddenly, Chu Tian felt the plane lurch, indicating a descent.
He opened his eyes.
The plane was already landing.
After landing, Ma Deju's expression quickly recovered.
It seemed that even with motion sickness medication, he couldn't be entirely unaffected.
Ma Deju helped him out of the airport.
Greeting them, Ma Ruolin and the Lin siblings hurried over.
Lin Ran and Lin Chi took Chu Tian.
Chu Tian asked in surprise, "Why are you all here?"
"My brother sent a message saying you were injured, so we rushed over!" Ma Ruolin said.
Ma Deju interrupted her, "Where are Grandma and Aunt? Did they go?"
"Yes!" Ma Ruolin nodded. "After receiving your dragon soul message, we came here together, and they went directly to Chuncheng!"
"t
It looked even worse than being on the plane.
Finally, half an hour passed.
*Creak...* The tires and the road made a *hissing* sound.
Everyone felt their bodies lurch forward.
If not for the seatbelts, they would have all flown into the windshield.
"We're here!" Ma Ruolin said, leaning back from the driver's seat and smiling.
There was also a sense of not having had enough.
Chu Tian's face was ashen, and he secretly decided he would never ride with her again.
It was too thrilling, he couldn't handle it...
The Lin siblings also looked terrified and didn't know what to say.
Ma Deju, taking the lead, opened the car door and rushed out.
"Now you know why my family doesn't have a car?"
The Lin siblings nodded repeatedly, indicating they understood.
Chu Tian was the last to get out. More than an hour later, everyone finally returned to the small world.
Zhao Kai and the others were anxiously waiting at the entrance.
As soon as they entered, the four of them visibly relaxed.
Chu Tian knew they were worried about him.
They didn't say much, but everyone understood. Zhao Lei, Gao Kai, Jing Kaiyu, and Chu Tian.
Although they hadn't known each other for a very long time, they had gone through life and death together.
That bond needed no words.
Approaching the Ma family's residential area, Chu Tian saw that the framework for one of the villas had already been erected.
After he and Ma Deju left, they hadn't been idle.
Everyone ate something, and Chu Tian felt much better.
Returning to his room, he took out his newly purchased x-sup-009 virtual pod, costing over thirty-seven million.
He loved its imposing design the moment he saw it.
The entire body was painted in a glossy, purple-black finish.
Chu Tian reached out and touched it, a smile appearing on his lips.
This was a world-class Celestial Dao world gaming pod, and it now belonged to him.
He inserted his identity card to activate it.
Then, he lay down inside and initiated the formal activation.
In the Celestial Dao world, each person could only own one of each type of equipment: a helmet and a virtual pod.
This meant a person could own a maximum of two devices.
Once this machine was activated, his previous one would be directly rendered invalid.
If he wanted to unbind from this machine, he would have to activate another one.
The system of this machine would automatically lock it, rendering it useless.
Unless it was sent back to the factory to reinstall the identity recognition system.
Only by replacing the identification system could it be used a second time.
He really didn't know why the Celestial Dao world had such strict restrictions on equipment usage rights.
After activation, Chu Tian directly entered the Celestial Dao.
The screen shifted, and he appeared in the same location, at the staircase from the second to the third floor of the Blood Castle.
