Chapter 1865 - 1439: Supreme Master Ling Donglai
The Twisted did not wish to leave the Twisted Land, which confirmed Jiang Dali’s suspicions.
Clearly, the twisted space within the Twisted Land held great danger. The Twisted were familiar with the area, hiding within and gaining a natural territorial advantage.
Once he entered, getting caught in the twisted space... his fate might be similar to that of the Xiao Jingtian brothers, who suffered from the Shattering Void’s space-distorting forces, their bodies twisting along with the space.
In the face of such fundamental forces of space, the earth, sky, and all materials in the world cannot resist and will change as a result. No matter how strong his Divine Demon Golden Body is, it cannot withstand it.
However, he didn’t necessarily have to rely on his body to confront this. Using the methods of Shattering Void, he could form some resistance to the twisted space. The key was whether he needed to take this risk.
Jiang Dali’s earlier provocation was not entirely due to emotional anger. With his level of strength and Heart Realm, small matters wouldn’t easily upset him. He merely wanted to force the Twisted to come out in the simplest and most direct way for a face-to-face exchange.
But now...
"Since your legs, Twisted, seem unable, I won’t insist. However, since your subordinates have offended me, I must receive some compensation from you. That’s not excessive, right?"
Jiang Dali crossed his arms and coldly watched the bright area ahead.
At this moment, deep within the brightness, a peculiar figure appeared, resembling a branch twisted by refraction after being inserted into water, and emitted a spiritual wave.
"The compensation you want is some questions? In that case, ask away. Whatever I know and can say, I will try to inform you."
The surrounding Lost Souls could not perceive the spiritual wave of the Twisted, but seeing Jiang Dali and the Twisted coexisting peacefully, they immediately understood that these two powerful figures might have reached some understanding, causing both surprise and fear.
For countless years, the Twisted remained the overlord of this area. Besides the Lost Souls, no outsider dared to approach here.
And any outsider who approached was captured by the Lost Souls, sacrificed in the Twisted Land to the Twisted. Their ultimate fate would be to become a new Lost Soul or part of the Twisted’s power.
"Try..."
Jiang Dali narrowed his eyes and bluntly asked, "Do you have the Sky Pond Map? Do you know how to reach the edge of the Sky? Do you know... the whereabouts of Fallen Immortal Guang Chengzi and Eagle Saber Chuan Ying."
The Twisted laughed heartily, "Powerful outsider, you probably don’t know that the size of the Sky expands every year, sometimes expanding a mile in a year, sometimes ten miles, and where I am in the Twisted Land expands a zhang or ten zhang annually.
Since the Sky’s inception, it has grown to over four thousand miles.
And this Twisted Land is now precisely 434 zhang in area...
I haven’t left here for a long time, so I don’t have a Sky Pond Map. But since you’re looking for Fallen Immortal Guang Chengzi, he might have one. Once you find him, you’ll naturally find Eagle Saber Chuan Ying and learn where the Sky’s edge is, for he visited it not long ago, though...
Guang Chengzi cannot escape the Sky, and you won’t either. Over the years, almost no one has been able to leave the Sky."
"The area of the Sky... will continue to grow, and this Twisted Land will expand with the growth of the Sky. Is there a connection between the two?"
Jiang Dali suddenly felt he knew too few secrets.
However, even within the Holy Dynasty, not many probably know the secrets of the Sky. After all, besides the Exiles sent here, no one comes in. Once inside, they can’t leave. Those who can freely come and go would consider the Heavenly Will and Earth Intent and likely not enter.
Jiang Dali said solemnly, "Where is Guang Chengzi? Point me in the direction."
"Directions within the Sky are unclear. I cannot specify. But I can send a Lost Soul to guide you to Guang Chengzi. He was once an Overlord but was eroded by the Fallen Heaven’s Will, now half a Lost Soul... even if you find him, be cautious of him."
From deep within the bright, twisted space came the Twisted’s voice.
At this time, it seemed eager to quickly send Jiang Dali away, thus being forthright and even kindly warning.
Jiang Dali is a person who responds better to kindness. Hearing these words, his expression softened slightly, "Thank you for the reminder."
Pausing, he last inquired about why the Heavenly Will had fallen, and whether there was competition between Earth Intent and Heavenly Will.
As expected, for such complex issues, the response was vague and unclear.
Jiang Dali then thought about the most mysterious Supreme Master in the Martial World in the last five hundred years who shattered the void, Ling Donglai, who was also in the Sky. Perhaps this Supreme Master knew some secrets, so he asked.
"By the way, do you know where Supreme Master Ling Donglai is now in the Sky?"
As soon as he asked this, silence fell over the Twisted Land.
Jiang Dali immediately sensed some slight anomaly in the space fluctuations, even causing the ground at the edges to twist, looking in his eyes as if the light refracted and tilted up to the sky.
"Ling... Dong... Lai..."
"Such a familiar name... so familiar... so familiar..."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Dali’s brows furrowed, suddenly sensing something amiss.
"Ling Donglai... Ling Donglai... ah ah ah!! Ugh!"
The Twisted’s spiritual waves murmured out softly, suddenly letting out a pained grunt, unleashing an angry twisted roar, but quickly suppressing it. The oppressive aura it spread was extremely unstable, filled with danger, and painfully hummed with difficulty.
"Don’t ask, don’t ask, go, quickly go. Find Guang Chengzi, don’t ask!"
Jiang Dali frowned, a flash of insight crossed his mind, vaguely guessing something...
Connecting the Twisted Land with Sky’s link, and its eerie peculiarities...
Since he had arrived at the Twisted Land, even knowing full well the dangers lurking within these spatial distortions, he now faced so many unknown secrets and oddities, he couldn’t help but delve deeper for a closer look.
He suddenly steeled his heart, tiger eyes flashing with resolute intent, he boldly stepped forward into the light-covered land ahead.
A group of Lost Souls behind him watched Jiang Dali’s determined silhouette walking into the Twisted Land, each beaming with surprise, their eyes reflecting a mix of joy, anticipation, and venom, as though they were about to witness another person fall to their kind. They felt extreme excitement... as if the brilliant light ahead was a dreadful hell that could devour souls.
...
A warm glow shone on Jiang Dali, giving him a sensation like his skin was being burned, as if the hair on his body, tough as steel wire, began to curl.
He had completely entered a Twisted Land surrounded by dazzling light on all sides.
The ground beneath his feet felt like it was a constantly fluctuating earth, as if this earth was just a tough, soft skin, with swirling water below.
The light here was so intense and blindingly brilliant, it almost made his eyes dizzy, forcing him to close his eyes. Yet even with closed eyes, there was only a sea of white light before him, as if his thin eyelids couldn’t block out the brightness.
"No... no... don’t come in! Don’t come over!"
The Twisted’s spiritual waves suddenly came from ahead, the words tinged with a hint of fear.
Jiang Dali quickly adapted to the unique environment inside the Twisted Land, turning his head toward where the spiritual waves came from.
Even with closed eyes, he could clearly sense a twisted silhouette amidst the intense white light and space fluctuations ahead.
Beside and behind that silhouette, there seemed to be several vague twisted figures, but they lacked any Qi Mechanism or vitality, as though they were corpses trapped within the twisted space.
Jiang Dali was on high alert, sending forth a spiritual sensing.
"Why? Didn’t you invite me in to interact with you earlier, why are you unwilling to see me now?"
As he spoke, he stepped toward the figure’s position, voicing his speculation, "Unless... you are the Supreme Master, Ling Donglai!"
"No! I’m not! I’m not! I am! Twis! Ted! One! Ugh, why are you forcing me?"
A grand and oppressive terrifying aura accompanied by intense space fluctuations suddenly erupted.
The twisted silhouette within the white glow ahead suddenly radiated a hostile red light.
Jiang Dali’s heart warned him with frantic urgency, his spiritual sense sharply detecting the strong space fluctuation sweeping towards him.
He swiftly sidestepped, avoiding it with hairbreadth precision.
This space fluctuation, invisible and almost undetectable to ordinary people, spread like a long serpent, with fluctuations possibly only three centimeters high.
Instantly, it seemed like nothing happened.
Yet Jiang Dali immediately sensed with horror that the ground beneath his feet had twisted, silently sinking down three centimeters, extending ten meters away.
This might not seem significant, for the destructive power he could unleash with a single stomp was countless times greater, but this was a direct alteration of space.
If he hadn’t avoided it earlier, then his body would have been uniformly compressed by the space, whether skin, bones, organs, or brain would have sunken three centimeters without even experiencing pain or any physical change.
This terrifying space power surpassed any physical force, being the power of the world’s rules, a great restraint and threat to him, for even the strongest body cannot resist space distortion, because—he exists within space itself...
