“Big Brother, Big Brother! After entering here, 1 can’t feel that guy anymore…”
There was no strong spiritual influence here. Old Qin in his hand transmitted his voice.
It seemed that the fellow who affected Old Qin was outside the Spiritual Realm fragment.
Lin Yan sensed his Spiritual Image seed that tried its best to absorb the spirituality of the world. Although it wasn’t much, it was endless. It constantly extracted the spirituality of the world from the surrounding void and entered his body.
“There’s a bright light in the dark…”
The spirituality of the world entered his body, and the Spiritual Image seed began to transform towards completion again. An endless stream of strange power continued to transform Lin Yan’s body.
Lin Yan exhaled. “A Spiritual Realm fragment can’t be entered without condensing a Spiritual Image seed. As for my Spiritual Image seed, it’s not far from complete transformation, so 1 was able to enter…”
Looking into the distance, the low mountain peak was peaceful. He bent down and touched the fresh green grass on the ground. It was soft and energetic to the touch. It was exactly the same as the real grass.
“Is it because my tactile senses are affected by the Spiritual Realm fragment, or is the Spiritual Realm real to begin with?
“The Spiritual Realm is a layer of reality that superimposes on the real world, and it’s reality in another dimension?”
In the Spiritual Realm, there was no dead and decaying spiritual pollution. It was quiet and peaceful like a paradise.
Looking at the dream-like scene in front of him, Lin Yan suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion. It actually made him unable to hold on and he sat on the ground.
It was not physical fatigue, but mental relaxation.
This journey was too long and too hopeless. He was like a lonely traveler walking alone on a desolate desert. No matter if it was the past or the future, everything he saw was gray.
If not for the fact that the Golden Bodhi Scripture gave him an insignificant glimmer of hope, Lin Yan really didn’t know if he could’ve held on.
At this moment, when hope condensed into reality and appeared, he felt that his heartstrings had suddenly broken at this moment. He did not want to think about anything or care about anything. He only wanted to sit quietly and enjoy the moment of tranquility.
He casually placed Old Qin on the grass at the side and reached out to take out Xiaozhi’s jade statue. Perhaps because Xiaozhi and Old Qin were equivalent to dead objects, they could actually be brought into this Spiritual Realm fragment.
“Xiaozhi, very soon, 1 will definitely find a way to help you recover…”
The Mind Connection Technique transmitted his words into the jade statue. From the jade statue, Xiaozhi also transmitted information. Lin Yan often communicated with Xiaozhi. Sometimes, Xiaozhi was awake, and sometimes, Xiaozhi was asleep. She was kept close to him and was completely protected by Lin Yan’s power.
At this moment, a faint light flashed across Xiaozhi’s jade statue!
The light was like smoke and fog, and a thin layer was vaguely pulled out from the small jade statue. It was like a thread pointing at the low mountain peak!
Lin Yan stood up. Xiaozhi’s body was actually connected to that mountain!
“That Gu Chuan once said that after passing through the corpses and crossing the forbidden area of life, the remains of the Goddess Temple… Could it be that the remains of the Goddess Temple actually fell into this Spiritual Realm fragment?!”
No matter what the reason was, there must be something related to Xiaozhi on that mountain peak!
Lin Yan grabbed Old Qin. “Let’s go take a look at that mountain!”
The mountain was not far. Lin Yan ran with all his might and arrived at the foot of the mountain not long after.
Along the way, Lin Yan discovered that there was something unusual about this place. It could even be said to be a little strange.
There was no wind, no air currents, and the clouds and sun in the sky were all frozen like a film.
The grass on the ground looked no different from real grass, but they were all motionless, as if they had frozen.
Only the green grass would react where Lin Yan stepped on it.
However, after the green grass fell, it would quickly bounce back and return to its original state. It was exactly the same. Even the angle and degree of bending were exactly the same.
In fact, because Lin Yan had run too fast, the force caused many green grass to shatter, forming pits.
However, not long after, the shattered parts would silently fuse into the ground and reappear in the original place, becoming exactly the same.
It was as if the world had completely frozen at a certain moment, a moment that seemed to be full of vitality but was actually pale and dead.
Furthermore, Lin Yan kept feeling that as he devoured and absorbed more spirituality of the world, the areas he passed, the green grass, and the mud, seemed to have changed.
There was clearly no difference in shape and color, but at a glance, one could tell the difference.
It was like… resolution?!
In the parts he passed through, the realness of those things had decreased!
“Could the so-called Spiritual Realm be a virtual world similar to the computer simulation in my previous life? The spirituality of the world is the carrier of the Spiritual Realm’s computational power? The Spiritual Droplet Computer?!”
Be it collision feedback, automatic repair, or reduced resolution, it was simply like a computer game!
Lin Yan temporarily suppressed this shocking guess and climbed up the low mountain.
No matter what the Spiritual Realm was, Lin Yan would not give up on devouring and absorbing the spirituality of the world from it.
The low mountain, or rather, just a small hillside, had the same green grass and some trees. They were all in the same strange situation..
