When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Zhu Chongjiu was pinned down by the void, and while he was still struggling, he roared, "Do you know that it was because of your curiosity that I ended up in this wretched place and now I can't get out? It's all your fault."

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xu Kong said to Zhu Chongjiu, "It wasn't me who asked you to come, so you can't blame me for everything."

Besides, you didn't come for nothing. If you hadn't come here, could you have controlled the source of fire?

Moreover, I also want to teach you the law of emptiness!

Once you've mastered the laws of emptiness, you'll naturally be able to leave this space.

Upon hearing what the void said, Zhu Chongjiu stopped struggling and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier how to get me out?"

Xu Kong looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who had stopped struggling, and got up from him, returning to where he had been standing.

Zhu Chongjiu stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his body, touched the large bump on his forehead and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "You went too far! Look at the damage you've done to me!"

I didn't kill you. If I had, with the body of an adult Void Beast, I could have turned you into mincemeat with a single punch!

The Void Beast continued, "Oh!"

By the way, those red-bodied monsters you mentioned were left behind by that person after he suppressed me.

It feeds on my physical body, devouring my energy and flesh, in order to prevent me from increasing my strength over the past tens of thousands of years.

They fear that once my strength reaches a certain level, I will break free of those shackles of law and regain my freedom.

At this moment, just like Zhu Chongjiu before him, Xu Kong gritted his teeth and said these words.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the void before him and asked, "You keep talking about your true form, your true form. Isn't what I'm seeing right now your true form?"

Also, you said that the demonic beasts left behind by the person who suppressed you were used to devour you and prevent your strength from continuing to grow. But I see that the demonic beasts that parasitize your body are also quite powerful. Why don't they come out and stop them from devouring you?

Do you think that person is a fool? The moment he suppressed me, he wiped out almost all the parasitic beasts on my body. The few that remained were also killed by those red monsters after I suppressed them.

Later, I could only linger on in places where those red monsters couldn't reach my true form.

As for the me standing in front of you, that is certainly not my true form. My true form is far too vast; this is merely a manifestation of myself created through magic!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly stepped forward, walked up to Xukong, and reached out to touch Xukong's body from all sides. Xukong felt uneasy about Zhu Chongjiu's actions.

After dodging Zhu Chongjiu's groping hands, she said, "What are you doing? I have no interest in your human race!"

Besides, I'm male too.

Zhu Chongjiu lowered his hand and replied to the void with disdain, "What are you thinking? My wife is a hundred times prettier than you, and she's interested in you too."

I'm just curious how something created can be so realistic, so full of life.

Can you teach me?

Furthermore, since it's an illusion, how can you still be bound by these chains of law?

The void looked Zhu Chongjiu up and down, and said with a smirk, "I'll teach you! This is a technique involving the soul and spiritual power."

Although your current soul strength is quite good and your mental power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, you should wait until you reach the Saint level to learn such techniques!

Furthermore, do you think this chain of laws only binds my physical body?

If it's just my physical body that's locked up, then my soul will leave my body to find my elders in my clan to free my physical body before merging with it.

I've already escaped, why would I need to be trapped here for tens of thousands of years?

The person who suppressed me was so powerful that no matter how many times my soul split, the chains of law they wove could also split, and I was firmly locked within them.

Do you think that during the tens of thousands of years I was trapped, I never considered any way out?

Upon hearing Xu Kong's explanation, Zhu Chongjiu gave a thumbs-up with both hands and exclaimed, "Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Then, Xu Kong said sadly, "Even the parasitic beasts I release each time are among my few remaining stock, and I can sense that even if they fly out of the mountain pass, many will be killed by those red monsters."

Only a few managed to escape.

They couldn't return, surely because they were ambushed and killed by these vile red monsters right at their doorstep on their way back.

They robbed and killed someone right on their own doorstep!

Subsequently, Zhu Chongjiu recounted to the void what these parasitic beasts had done after leaving the sacred mountain.

Upon hearing this, Void replied dismissively, "My parasitic beast needs to eat after it goes out; it can't go hungry, can it?"

Zhu Chongjiu glanced at the void. "Just because your parasite isn't hungry, you think you can go on a killing spree and kill people indiscriminately?"

No wonder that person left behind the Firefly Sacred Beast.

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this. Let's get to the bottom of your true intentions."

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xu Kong paused for a moment before asking, "How did you know I needed something from you?"

Don't think I don't know you're after me.

Tell me, you saved me, appeared in my clone to meet me, answered all my questions without reservation, and even taught me magic.

Don't say it's just because we're destined to meet, or that you're just bored and looking for someone to chat with.

I'm not a three-year-old child!

In truth, what Zhu Chongjiu was thinking at that moment was, "I only guessed that you kept me here because you had something to ask of me, but I didn't guess that you wanted something from me."

Just as Zhu Chongjiu finished muttering to himself, he suddenly said, "Oh no, I forgot you can read minds."

Alright, since we both know the truth now, let's stop beating around the bush.

That way I can get out sooner, and you can ask me to do things for you sooner.

A win-win situation!

"By the way, aren't you afraid that after I get out, I'll abandon you and go off to have a good time on my own?"

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xu Kong rubbed his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then smiled and said to Zhu Chongjiu, "It is indeed a win-win situation."

The person who suppressed me told me that the first person to come down would be the one who could save me.

I've been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, and now that I finally have a chance, why not give it a try? Even if that person deceives me, I won't lose anything.

Moreover, after all this time we've spent together, and after hearing your stories, I feel that you're not that kind of person!

Gone?

Gone!

That person didn't tell me how to save you.

He didn't say!

Do you think I have the strength to unlock these chains?

No!

How about using this great sword in my hand?

Innate weapons and innate laws are like the sharpest spear and the strongest shield; even if you wanted to kill each other, it's beyond your current capabilities.

How can I save him?

So I'm going to teach you magic so that your strength can continue to improve!

What kind of magic do you want to teach me?

The Law of Emptiness!

The Law of Void, your signature skill? So, how long do you think it would take me, with my current strength, to learn the Law of Void?

No, with your current strength, you won't be able to learn the Void Laws no matter how long it takes. All I can teach you is to understand the Void Laws. Once you understand the Void Laws, you can leave this space.

Why don't you just send me out directly? That would save you time and effort.

I'm sorry, but under the control of the chains of laws woven by the one who suppressed me, I cannot send any object out of this space.

How did your parasite get out?

They flew away on their own.

How could they fly out of this space?

They are not controlled by the chains of law, so of course they can fly away. Moreover, they are my parasites, so they naturally understand and can use some of the laws of the void, thus preventing them from getting lost in this space filled with the laws of the void.

How was this space formed?

It is the residual power of my own void law. Don't expect me to be able to retract the residual power of these laws into my body. If you ask again, it's the ability of the person who suppressed me.

Ok!

After a brief exchange with the void, Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment before concluding his final question.

Zhu Chongjiu composed himself, adjusted his mindset, and said to the void before him, "Since that's the case, let's not waste each other's time, we can begin!"
