At the same time, Qin Shi was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He was merely at the bottom of the lake, enjoying the peculiar feeling of his body being filled with power.
This feeling, to him, was something he hadn't felt for a long time. However, because of this, his breakthrough this time was exceptionally smooth. When everything calmed down, his lips curled into a faint smile and he opened his eyes.
"Is this the power of the seven curses?"
This breakthrough lasted for three days. For him, who was racing against time, it was truly extravagant. Fortunately, the outcome was not bad, and everything went according to his plan.
When he looked at his sea of consciousness again, it had undergone a tremendous change. This change was not due to the distance. He discovered that ever since he broke through the four curses, the expansion of his sea of consciousness was no longer as rapid as before. Hence, his sea of consciousness was only 500,000 meters wide.
However, he knew that this was already very good. After all, he had just entered the Undying Daoist's sea of consciousness. The Undying Daoist had the Eight Curses Body, but it was only 500,000 meters wide. It seemed that what the Blood Shaman said was true.
Of course, as mentioned before, his sea of consciousness had undergone a tremendous change. Since this change was not due to the distance, it was naturally due to something else. It was the cohesion of his sea of consciousness, as well as the surrounding scenery.
Originally, his sea of consciousness was as chaotic as the beginning of the world. But now, apart from the black, white, and yellow sand, there were many colors added to it. There were flowers, grass, and trees. It was as if this place was truly an independent space.
This made Qin Shi secretly happy. He knew that to him, this was far more powerful than the blind growth of distance. He discovered that his control over his soul had undergone a qualitative leap.
However, this joy did not cause him to become arrogant. Not long after, he calmed down and felt the flow of power. He shook his head. "This breakthrough has indeed caused my essence to change. With my current cultivation, if I were to fight against Protector Li again, even if I don't use the power of the Demonic Spirit, I'm confident that I can fight against him. However, with this, I'm afraid that I can only fight against Protector Li. He's only a Protector. Above him are the twelve Demon Heads, thirty-six Demon Sovereigns, and sixty-four Demon Arrows. All of them are above the Domain Realm. With my current strength, even if I can barely fight against those at the Sky Realm, I'm still like an ant in front of a Domain Realm expert. There's still a huge difference. It seems that I can't be disrespectful. I must work harder. Only then, can I really fight against Huo Group and the Chaotic Territory one day."
When he thought of the two great powers that made him feel powerless, he couldn't help but feel bitter and helpless. They were also enemies that he couldn't avoid in the future.
However, he was by no means an indecisive person, so he quickly adjusted his state. Since he couldn't avoid it, he had to face it head-on.
Fortunately, he still had a long time to grow and enrich his own wings. This should be considered a blessing in misfortune.
"Let's go. Next, it's time to complete the original purpose of coming to Nightless City, to find the Barren Geocentric Milk for Sister Yu."
Qin Shi raised his head, and the illusory figure under the deep blue lake started to tremble. A bolt of lightning shot up into the sky.
A huge whirlpool suddenly formed on the surface of the Yangtan Bamboo Forest, and hot bubbles rose from it. The number of hot bubbles increased, and in less than five minutes, a black shadow shot up into the sky. The Blood Shaman's eyes instantly focused.
When Qin Shi appeared beside him, he smiled as if he had expected it. "It seems that everything went well?
How is it?
Have you reached the seventh curse? "
Qin Shi didn't act, but directly revealed his sea of consciousness to the Blood Shaman. When the Blood Shaman saw the appearance of the five hundred thousand meters away, he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hehe, little guy, you've worked hard."
He shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then Qin Shi's gaze was slightly dull. It fell on the surface of the lake that was still rippling, and there was a hint of dullness in the corner of his eyes.
The Blood Shaman was stunned for a moment. He followed Qin Shi's gaze and found that after Qin Shi's breakthrough, the Yangtan Bamboo Forest had been completely destroyed. The emerald green bamboo poles were broken and sunk into the yellow mud. But these were not the main point. The main point was that Qin Shi's breakthrough had caused many mandarin ducks to lose their lives.
"Little guy, this isn't your fault. This world is originally the law of the jungle."
"They're also living beings."
Qin Shi refused to agree and shook his head. After that, his heart sank. Mandarin ducks were different from other birds. Their single-mindedness was publicly acknowledged. If one mandarin duck died, the other mandarin duck would definitely not survive.
Just like that, a mandarin duck, as he watched helplessly, pounced on the corpse of another mandarin duck. Then, with a few wails, the mandarin duck slammed into the lakeside forcefully and died.
This time, his heart tightened again.
And suddenly, a mandarin duck crawled on the ground with the wing of another mandarin duck in its mouth. It dragged the already sick mandarin duck to Qin Shi's feet. Then, that mandarin duck raised its head and even took out its beast core, looking at Qin Shi pleadingly.
Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at these two mandarin ducks, he thought to himself, perhaps this is what true love is?
It was the kind of pure love that didn't care about fame and glory, and didn't ask for anything in return.
But what made him feel ironic was that this kind of love was already rare in the world, but it appeared in these two little mandarin ducks. How ironic.
But very quickly, he bent down and used his own soul as the foundation to heal the injuries of the mandarin duck. He said lightly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Then, the two mandarin ducks gratefully called out to Qin Shi. Only then did their sadness turn into joy. They swam up the lake together and finally flew into the bamboo forest.
Seeing the two figures disappearing together, he couldn't help but think of himself and the three women he loved deeply.
"Perhaps this is what the three of them want the most. It should have been the simplest happiness in this world, but now we are struggling bitterly for this happiness … How sad."
"Don't think too much. One day, you will achieve everything you want." The Blood Shaman comforted him.
Qin Shi sighed helplessly. He had always believed that this day would come, but how long would this day be? How far away would it be?
He didn't even dare to think about it. He could only shake his head forcefully and throw everything out of his mind. Then, his eyes became determined and he said, "Work hard. Only then will I have a chance to fulfill that promise. There's something waiting for me to do."
"It's the Barren Geocentric Milk, right?" The Blood Shaman was not surprised. "Then, what's your next plan?
Are you going to look for Li Tan? "
Qin Shi hesitated and shook his head. "No, I don't know what kind of person Li Tan is. Even if I look for him, there won't be any results. After all, if it was me, I wouldn't give it to someone who asked me for the Barren Geocentric Milk for no reason. Moreover, Li Tan is a collector."
"Moreover, I heard from the Undying Taoist that Li Tan has Level Five of the Heaven Summit Realm. It's impossible to snatch it from him. Otherwise, even if we succeed in the end, we'll suffer a great loss and the evil spirit will be exposed. This isn't the Hundred Tides. If we do that, there will be problems."
After listening to Qin Shi's analysis, the Blood Shaman was stunned at first, then he smiled in relief. "I'm relieved that you can think that way. At least you haven't lost your mind."
"I already said that I won't be impulsive." Qin Shi rolled his eyes at the Blood Shaman.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"I can't snatch it by force. I can only use my wits."
Qin Shi muttered and thought for a while. Then, he had an idea and said, "Let's start with Li Minghao."
"Li Minghao?
That lunatic?
Even if he was a genius, he's just a lunatic now. What can a lunatic do? "
"Yes, him." Qin Shi smiled slyly. "Moreover, if he's not crazy, things will be troublesome."
"What do you mean?"
The Blood Shaman could clearly see the halo of confidence on Qin Shi's body, which piqued his interest. In the past, every time Qin Shi smiled like this, he would have a perfect plan.
"Think about it. There's no father who doesn't love his child. As a person, he wouldn't want his child to go crazy, right?
So, if you ask him to use one of his collections to exchange for his child's health, what do you think he will choose? "Qin Shi asked.
The Blood Shaman was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have woken up from a dream. "You said that you want to cure Li Minghao's illness?"
But immediately, he shook his head. "That's impossible, right?
According to my calculations, his consciousness should have been damaged by the Ferocious Demon. Moreover, the Ferocious Demon is extremely powerful. It's too difficult to repair it. "
"That might not be the case."
Qin Shi shook his head meaningfully and said, "I can't judge the specific situation now. At least we have to see Li Minghao again and understand him in depth. Maybe there will be a breakthrough."
The Blood Shaman thought about it and nodded. "Alright, that's the only thing we can do now. If this method doesn't work, then we can only snatch it by force."
Thinking of this, his eyes became slightly heavy. He knew that the Blood Shaman was right. If Li Minghao's breakthrough did not work, then it would be impossible for Li Tan to hand over the Desolate Geocentric Milk for no reason.
However, the Desolate Geocentric Milk was related to the recovery of Jade In The Book. Everything related to Jade In The Book, Qin Xue Xin, and Yu Luocha was something he could not afford to be careless about. Therefore, he had to obtain the Desolate Geocentric Milk. If it really came to that, even if he had to snatch it from the tiger's mouth, he had to fight for it.
However, if that was the case, it would be impossible for him to hide the Evil Demon. At that time, with the Evil Demon's power and identity, it would definitely alarm the entire human world and the Saboteurs.
That was something he absolutely did not want to see.
