Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Seeing that Xia Huahai had no intention of attacking him at all, Wang Mu was unsure of what Xia Huahai was planning to do.

So he decided to keep Xia Huahai around for a while longer to see what tricks he was up to.

After looking around the pit, the two found nothing else and felt quite bored.

Now that Wang Mu had never witnessed Xia Huahai's abilities, he felt a surge of curiosity.

Seeing that Wang Mu didn't seem inclined to make a move, Xia Huahai suddenly made a small cut on his index finger.

The moment the blood droplet flowed out, Wang Mu saw a cluster of blood-red flames appear on Xia Huahai's fingertips.

The flames he controlled were mediated by his own blood.

Seeing Wang Mu's solemn expression, Xia Huahai smiled and said, "I don't intend to hurt you now. If you die, I will be the only one left in this secret realm, which would be very boring."

Wang Mu silently complained to himself, "Although I'm not worried about you attacking me, I have another purpose for coming here today: to kill you."

"You've been so polite to me that I don't know where to begin."

Seeing that Wang Mu was standing there in a daze without any reaction, Xia Huahai didn't say anything more. He simply controlled the flying crane beside him to bring him out of the deep pit.

For some reason, Wang Mu always had the feeling that Xia Huahai treated him as a vessel for his blood.

But he didn't have time to think much. He flashed away from the pit and appeared on the land outside.

Xia Huahai had not expected that Wang Mu's skill was so profound, as there was a restraint above the pit just now.

However, Wang Mu emerged straight out, and he still needed to rely on the power of the Fire Crane to attack this layer of magic in order to break through the deep pit.

Furthermore, Wang Mu's demeanor was completely as if he were strolling around in his own home, without any unusual emotions whatsoever.

"It seems that his skills are much more profound than I imagined."

Then, Xia Huahai turned and walked deeper into the secret realm. He had come to the secret realm because he wanted to obtain some spiritual medicine.

There's no need to stay with Wang Mu all the time.

Seeing that Xia Huahai had left first, Wang Mu didn't say anything more.

After thinking for a moment, he followed another path in the direction of the secret realm and kept walking forward.

He and Xia Huahai were now at a fork in the road. Since Xia Huahai had chosen to turn left, he decided to explore the other side of the road.

To the naked eye, the paths they chose did not appear to be very different.

Wang Mu had only walked a short distance when he felt his surroundings begin to change drastically.

He felt as if he were in a giant illusion, where the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, had somehow set.

Instead, there was a clear blue sky with a bright moon and some stars that could only be seen upon close inspection.

"What's going on? Why is there such a strange phenomenon in the sky? Could it be that the next step is for snow to fall in the Flame Domain in June?"

Wang Mu was surprised to feel a cool sensation on his face as soon as he finished speaking; snowflakes were actually falling from the sky and landing on his face.

About half an incense stick's time later, a layer of snow about six or seven centimeters thick had fallen on the ground, covering Wang Mu's ankles.

Standing under the moonlight amidst the falling snow, he felt no cold at all. Instead, Xiao Cheng in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly awoke from his slumber.

"Master, Master, what's happening outside?"

"Xiao Cheng, weren't you temporarily in a deep sleep? How come you suddenly woke up?"

Wang Mu only recently learned that Xiao Cheng falls into a deep sleep for several months every year, wrapped in a thick cocoon, which prevents him from making any movements.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng actually cracked the code.

He looked extremely weak, and his face was full of panic.

“Master, I can sense that the fluctuations in spiritual energy outside are very severe. You seem to be in the middle of a spiritual energy vortex, and you are currently in the eye of the storm.”

"what?"

For some reason, Wang Mu didn't sense any strange changes around him. He just stood there blankly, not knowing what had happened.

If Sha Youlang were here, he could say something, but now he's all alone and knows nothing about the situation here.

After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Wang Mu wanted to move his feet out of the so-called center of the vortex.

But Wang Mu only took one step forward before being bounced back by an invisible wall.

"Oh no, I'm trapped here now..."

"There is no way to move it."

Immediately, Xiao Cheng emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness and appeared before Wang Mu.

Wang Mu discovered that the black characters on Xiao Cheng's body had grown into the shape of scales.

"Have you felt any physical discomfort?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "Master, right now I just feel that I am unusually sensitive to the fluctuations of the surrounding environment and spiritual energy."

Immediately, Wang Mu saw Xiao Cheng give him a look that said, "I'm so hungry..."—the same kind of coquettish expression he would usually use when asking him for spirit herbs.

Seeing Xiao Cheng's appearance, Wang Mu thought to himself, "He has been trapped in the silkworm cocoon for so long, he must be starving."

However, the spiritual herbs collected in Li Shengtian's sea of ​​consciousness and Qiankun bag are probably far from meeting the standards for consuming spiritual herbs at the Lesser Completion stage. With his current level of skill, he probably needs to absorb the spiritual power of higher-level spiritual herbs in order to barely maintain his own power.

However, Wang Mu looked around and saw that the area was covered in snow, with no living creatures or spiritual herbs in sight.

"Once I get out of this whirlpool, I'll help you find the spiritual herb you want!"

Immediately, Wang Mu poured out all the spiritual herbs from his Qiankun bag and placed them in front of Xiao Cheng.

It looked at it with obvious disgust, as if it didn't really want to eat it.

Seeing this, Wang Mu had no choice but to coax, "That's all we have now, you eat first."

These spiritual herbs are extremely rare species, whether in the Immortal Spirit Continent or the Flame Domain; any one of them can save a life.

Just as Xiao Cheng turned around to look at Wang Mu, he discovered that Wang Mu was holding a huge spiritual herb in his hand.

This spiritual herb is entirely red, with a faint red glow; it is the Phoenix Tail Flower, which only grows once every thousand years.

Xiao Cheng remembered that his previous owner had fought a fierce battle to find this Phoenix Tail Flower for him. Now, this Phoenix Dance Flower had appeared in Wang Mu's hands so easily.

For some reason, during this period of deep sleep, Xiao Cheng often had glimpses of silhouettes flashing through his mind, like fragmented memories.
