Chapter 143.2: Could They All Be the Same Person?
Three days later, a massive spirit ship cut across the sky, carrying four people aboard. Qi Yuan, Kang Fulu, Jiang Ya, and the elderly Nascent Soul woman accompanying her.
Since Jiang Ya would also be joining the Eastern Lands Prodigy Battle, they were basically headed in the same direction. Hence, Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu hitched a ride. Truly, Jiang Ya's spirit ship flew far faster than any ordinary one. A journey that normally took half a month now took only five or six days.
Standing on deck, Qi Yuan gazed down at the endless desert rolling beneath them. Pockets of blue ocean glimmered strangely amid the dunes.
His expression was full of curiosity. "A mix of desert and sea? How bizarre."
A boundless sweep of golden sand stretched to the horizon, yet here and there, scattered like fallen fragments, were glittering stretches of ocean. The desert and sea pressed right up against each other, creating a surreal patchwork landscape.
Jiang Ya opened her eyes at last.
"This phenomenon was caused by a battle between Yin Spirits. Above the Violet Palace realm, the clash grew too powerful, and the combatants slipped into the void world. This is a hollow plane where nothing exists, so their power won't harm mortals. But..." Her voice softened. "Every so often, pieces of the void world collapse and fall back into the world. This desert-sea mosaic is one such remnant."
Qi Yuan asked, "What if a Yin Spirit fights a Violet Palace cultivator? Do they still enter the void world?"
Jiang Ya’s eyes gleamed with ambition. "The Yin Spirit can defeat the Violet Palace with nothing more than Violet Palace-level power. What’s the point of going beyond that?"
The Yin Spirit realm was the lifelong pursuit of her master. After all, the world's restrictions no longer applied to those who stepped into it.
"But what if that Yin Spirit insists on using power beyond the Violet Palace realm?" Qi Yuan probed.
"Then the entire region will be dragged into the void world," Jiang Ya answered patiently, albeit a bit bemused by the question. The topic was far too early for a mere Core Formation cultivator.
