I was excited. I didn't panic, but I was happy.
Although I had only taken one hundred steps after entering the door, I couldn't see the surroundings in the thick blood mist. I could only move forward bit by bit. My mind was tense, and I felt a little tired.
The sudden appearance of this figure meant that I didn't need to search around like a headless fly in the blood mist anymore. It wasn't a bad thing.
Of course, although I was happy, I didn't rush forward. I slowly moved forward, maintaining the same speed as before.
When I was around ten meters away from the figure, the blood mist became thinner, and I could finally see the figure's appearance. I frowned.
The figure wasn't a real person, but it wasn't out of my expectation. The blood door was illusory, so it wouldn't be right if a real person appeared inside.
What surprised me the most was that the figure didn't look like a real person. It looked like a mannequin in a clothing store.
Its entire body was ash-white, and I couldn't see its facial features. It was completely naked, and it just stood there, waiting for me to approach it.
I continued to move forward. When I was around five meters away from it, I could see it more clearly.
This figure didn't look any different from a mannequin. However, it was more exquisite, and its facial features were clear. It didn't look different from a real person.
However, when I took a closer look, I found that the mannequin's face and facial features were ordinary. It didn't have any special features. After looking at it for a while, I couldn't remember it at all. It had an extremely common face.
I walked to the front of the mannequin and carefully observed it. Although I couldn't see what material it was made of, I was sure that it was made of clay and not a living creature. Moreover, when I closed my eyes to sense, I didn't sense any aura. It wasn't a magical tool or a magical weapon.
It was strange. From the previous four blood doors, they had all treasures. Why did I get such a strange thing when it was my turn?
After Officer Wang got out of the blood door, he told me that nothing was fixed inside the blood door. What one could get depended on one's luck and fate.
Could it be that my luck wasn't good enough, and the others could get treasures, but I wasn't lucky enough?
No matter how I thought about it, it didn't make sense. Even if my luck wasn't as good as the others', it didn't make sense that I would get something useless.
After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind. Could it be that this mannequin was just used to lead the way? The real treasure was in front of me.
After thinking about it, I gave up studying the mannequin and walked forward. After a few steps, I saw another blood door in front of me. It looked exactly the same as the one I had just entered.
Even though I had been walking forward ever since I entered, when I saw this door, I understood that this door was the blood door that I had entered from. If I stepped out of this door, I would be able to leave this place and return to the high platform.
Although I had no idea, it now wasn't the time to verify my intuition. I decided to go back to the mannequin.
I had to make. I had to think about it, but I would have't. I would've go back to the mannequin time.
T.'d go, I't, I had, and had the mannequin by the puppet. and time.'t. and by.
I went back to the mannequin and observed it. After confirming that I couldn't find anything, I reached out to hold the mannequin.
I wanted to pick it up and leave. However, as soon as my hands touched the mannequin, a suction force came from it. I couldn't exert any force and was frozen on the spot.
I was startled and recalled the feeling I had when I had instilled my spirit into the small cauldron. At that time, there was also a powerful suction force that I couldn't resist. It was very similar to what I was feeling now.
Realizing this, I hurried to check my body's aura. What I saw surprised me.
No matter if it was my spirit or my Dao Qi, they were the same as before. They didn't flow out.
However, I could feel that under this strong suction force, some kind of power in my body was slowly being stripped away and transferred to the mannequin.
The fear of the unknown made me flustered. Just as I was about to check my body's condition, the mannequin in front of me suddenly changed!
A black pattern suddenly appeared on the white, clean, and empty body of the mannequin. Moreover, when I looked at it, I saw that the black pattern was slowly extending. Soon, it formed an irregular circle in front of the mannequin's chest.
Although the circle looked like a simple outline, and other people wouldn't be able to recognize it, it was extremely familiar to me.
It was the Qilin tattoo on my chest!
My mind flashed. Was the suction force from the mannequin in my body the Qilin gu?
I wanted to tear my clothes and check the Qilin tattoo on my chest. However, my hands were stuck to the mannequin, and I couldn't move. I couldn't use my Dao Qi under the suction force, either. I couldn't move at all. I could only watch the changes on the mannequin's body and wait in silence.
After the black outline was outlined, black veined patterns quickly appeared in the circled area. This time, it wasn't just one, but countless veined patterns appeared at the same time.
At the same time, I felt that the power in my body was surging faster and faster.
After half a minute, an exaggerated and exquisite Qilin tattoo appeared on the mannequin's chest.
From the heart to the collarbone, there was a beautiful horn with a silver mane around its neck. It had a lion's head, tiger's eyes, an elk's body, dragon scales, and an ox's tail. Everything was exactly the same as the Qilin tattoo on my chest!
The suction force on my hands didn't stop. Instead, it became faster. Naturally, I thought about the ink dragon tattoo on my back. However, I was facing the mannequin, so I couldn't see its back. I could only guess.
It was different from the Qilin tattoo. The ink dragon tattoo was where the snake spirit resided. If the mannequin was also sucked in, would the snake spirit be in danger?
Although I was worried, I couldn't even take care of myself. I couldn't take care of the snake spirit, either. I could only feel anxious.
Luckily, I didn't have to wait for too long. Half a minute later, the strong suction force on the mannequin disappeared. My body shook, and my hands fell from the mannequin.
After I regained my freedom, I hurriedly tore the clothes on my chest and lowered my head to look. Just as I had expected, the Qilin tattoo that had troubled me for a long time had disappeared!
I twisted my body and looked behind me. Although I couldn't see my entire back, I could vaguely see the black pattern on my waist. It was obvious that the ink dragon tattoo was still there.
I heaved a sigh of relief. The ink dragon tattoo was still there, which meant that the snake spirit wouldn't have any problems.
It was different from the Qilin tattoo. The ink dragon tattoo had appeared because the snake spirit had attached itself to my body. Although it was a dragon parasite, it didn't originate from my body, so it wouldn't affect me much. The thing that had been bothering me and preventing me from advancing to Heavenly Master was actually the Qilin parasite.
Now that the Qilin parasite was gone, it meant that the last obstacle to advancing to Heavenly Master was gone. As long as I wanted to, I could advance at any time!
To cultivators, the realm of Heavenly Master was a milestone. When one reached this realm, they were truly extraordinary. Only then could they soar in the sky and look down on the world.
After absorbing the shaman energy of the giant corpse in the Corpse Yin Sect and obtaining the qualification to advance to Heavenly Master, I had wanted to break through immediately. The reason why I had delayed until now was because of the Qilin parasite.
As soon as I got rid of it, I immediately wanted to advance to the next realm. However, after thinking for a while, I temporarily suppressed this impulse.
After all, I was inside the blood door, and the space was narrow. After advancing, I wouldn't be able to perform the process of flying in the sky. Moreover, when Officer Wang had advanced to Heavenly Master, he had chosen to go out. Apparently, he also thought that it wasn't suitable to stay inside the blood door.
After making up my mind, I prepared to leave. However, as soon as I lifted my head, I was stunned.
The mannequin in front of me had disappeared. It had been replaced by an ink-black, majestic Qilin with silver fur!
It looked exactly the same as the Qilin parasite tattoo. However, it wasn't a portrait anymore. It had turned into a living creature!
It was obvious that this thing was the mannequin that had absorbed the Qilin parasite.
