A day had passed…

Qi-Da-Tang finally gained back his consciousness. He found that he was lying on the ground in a big courtyard with Zheng-Fu lying unconscious beside him. As he tried to get up…

"Ouch!"

Qi-Da-Tang felt the utmost pain all over his body. It was so painful that it got to his brain instantly. Then he eventually controlled himself better and thought about what happened. He crinkled his eyebrows as soon as he felt that his energy levels had decreased dramatically…

"What happened? How come they were gone?" Qi-Da-Tang spent a while thinking and then turned fierce while looking at Zheng-Fu. He was angry at the boy, but then he was startled to see that Zheng-Fu had lost his energy levels too. It seemed like Zheng-Fu had lost more levels than he had.

He knew that Zheng-Fu was at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, but now he was at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage…

"Did he lose his energy levels too!?" Qi-Da-Tang said and crinkled his eyebrows…

"Oh!"

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu started to gain back his consciousness too. He pretended to act like he was drunk and said…

"What happened? How come it is so hurtful? Ouch! Where has my strength gone?" Zheng-Fu said while checking his body. He did not forget to pretend to moan…

After a minute, Qi-Da-Tang said, "I guess we got attacked by that spell pattern!"

"Spell pattern!?"

Zheng-Fu acted like he was shocked when he heard about the spell pattern. He made a sad face and said, "A lot of my energy levels were gone. How can I go to the center of the forest now?" He said while looking at Qi-Da-Tang with a begging look…

Qi-Da-Tang was also sad because he had lost a lot of energy levels too. He realized that he could not continue the journey, so he shook his head and said, "I don't think I can take you to the center of the forest anymore. With this energy level of mine, it'd be too hard to get there.

Well, I hope we can join a journey like this again next time." Qi-Da-Tang soared away from Zheng-Fu as soon as he finished the sentence…

"Wait! Are you going to leave me here, brother Da-Tang?" Zheng-Fu pretended to ask in a panicked voice. However, Qi-Da-Tang did not turn to look at Zheng-Fu and continued on his way until he disappeared from Zheng-Fu's sight…

Qi-Da-Tang's original plan was to use Zheng-Fu. But when he was faced with the tragedy, he decided to forget about the plan. It was not good to lose a lot of energy levels in a short time. He actually wanted to kill Zheng-Fu too, but since he was injured now, he hoped that the boy would get killed by monsters instead…

Qi-Da-Tang believed that Zheng-Fu was frightened to be left alone, but he was wrong. Zheng-Fu was glad that he could get rid of the man. However, he still wondered how Qi-Da-Tang got into his clan's forest, so he disguised himself and followed him…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu's existence and energy level disappeared, so he started to soar after Qi-Da-Tang instantly. He maintained the length between the man by 10 lis or 5 kilometers. The distance between them was the best distance for him to use his exceptional sensory detector skills…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Qi-Da-Tang soared at a normal speed. He actually got slower because of his internal injury. The man tried to detect the surroundings all the while, but the detection range of his detecting ability was not more than 2 kilometers…

"Darn it! How come this happened to me? I shouldn't have followed that boy to the stone!" Qi-Da-Tang complained quietly along the way. He was mad at Zheng-Fu as he made him want to go see the stone and lost a lot of energy levels for it…

"Tsk! It's because you're greedy and too proud. It's not my fault!" Zheng-Fu countered Qi-Da-Tang. He thought that the man was easily flattered for far too much…

Zheng-Fu and Qi-Da-Tang were in the middle of the distance between the border and the center of the forest. Qi-Da-Tang was moving slightly toward the border of the forest. Zheng-Fu had been following him for a week until the man reached his destination…

Zheng-Fu saw that there was a huge stone gate 5 kilometers in front of him. He saw some kind of spell pattern on the base of the gate too. Qi-Da-Tang approached the gate with the utmost tiredness. He walked into the spell pattern and picked up some kind of stone. A bright light started to appear, and the man disappeared into the light instantly…

"Transporting magic!?"

Zheng-Fu exclaimed in surprise because he had never seen this kind of magic before. He did not see it in the book. But then he realized that his knowledge about magic was limited. He only learned some from that mysterious dimension…

When Zheng-Fu saw how Qi-Da-Tang got into the Forbidden Forest, he turned back to his track instantly. He realized that he did not have a lot of time because he had been many months in the Forbidden Forest. It was time that he should have gotten back to his clan by now. He did not even know how much time he had to spend to reach the center of the forest.

Zheng-Fu decided to soar off at maximum speed toward the direction where he last saw the spelled stone…

Whoosh!

It took Zheng-Fu three days to reach the stone. It was quick because the new energy level helped him increase his speed. He had to spend a whole week following Qi-Da-Tang because Qi-Da-Tang had to move slowly. So, he did not want to hold it back on the way back to the stone…

Thud!

"This spell pattern is different. It's more complex and full of strong dark energy. If I hadn't used that Da-Tang guy as a shield, my energy would have probably been sucked dry. Brrr!" Zheng-Fu said while rubbing his arms as if he got goosebumps…

Even though he could absorb the dark energy from the stone, he could only do it through Qi-Da-Tang. So, part of the dark energy got bounced back into the stone. And the rest was absorbed by him. The reason why Zheng-Fu returned to the stone was that he wanted to take the dark energy that was left there…

Whoosh!

Roar! Roar!

Zheng-Fu got Jin-Tian out of the crystal dimension the first thing after he arrived at the stone. The servant monster ran to Zheng-Fu immediately because it missed him so much. Jin-Tian looked lively because it had been half a month since it was hidden in the crystal dimension…

"Stop it, Jin-Tian! I've got something for you to do." Zheng-Fu brushed Jin-Tian away from him. He then looked at it firmly and pointed his finger at the spell pattern in front of him…

Roar!

Jin-Tian turned to look in the direction of Zheng-Fu's finger. It was confused and did not know what Zheng-Fu wanted it to do. So, it turned to look at Zheng-Fu…

"Don't be confused, Jin-Tian! Just do what you always do!" Zheng-Fu said with a smile…

When Jin-Tian heard that, it walked right to the stone instantly without hesitating…

Thud!

Roar!

As soon as Jin-Tian stepped into the spell pattern, it let out a tremendous roar. Then Jin-Tian started to shake violently. Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows instantaneously because he could feel that Jin-Tian's energy range was getting sucked out at a very fast pace…

"Darn it!"

Zheng-Fu rushed to Jin-Tian and used his skill to balance his yin and yang energy to suck back the energy. However, the effect of the stone was completely strong, so Zheng-Fu had to increase his energy to counter the speed of the stone…

Whoosh!

It turned out that Zheng-Fu's plan did not work as he had expected. The minute he sent his energy to counter the stone, the stone sucked that energy of his in quickly. Everything disappeared into the stone. Then the stone started to glow and was surrounded by golden lights. There were also tons of letters flying around it…

"What is that? How come it doesn't work like before!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed out of shock to see what was in front of him…

The golden light started to get brighter and brighter as time passed by. Jin-Tian had now lost three energy levels within a short time. It was down from the fifth level to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. Zheng-Fu did not lose any energy levels, but he could not take his hand off of Jin-Tian, which caused cold sweats on his forehead…

"I don't think I can let this continue!" Zheng-Fu said while trying to come up with some way to deal with the problem. The only thing that he thought would work was to redo the whole spell pattern. But he needed to get closer to make it happen. The problem was that he could not move anywhere at all; otherwise, Jin-Tian's energy would be drained out within a few shichens…

And then, all of a sudden, Zheng-Fu's mind came across an idea. He did not know if the idea would work, but it was the only way that he could think of right now. And that was to suck in everything in the place into his crystal dimension…

"If I have to die, then so be it! But it's going to work!"

"Yah!"

A light beam from Zheng-Fu's chest started to cover the space in a radius of 250 meters, the space where the magical spell encompassed. Then his crystal dimension started to take in everything within the light beam instantly…

Whoosh!

The space in front of Zheng-Fu disappeared into his chest just within a second. Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian were also sucked in…

Whoosh!

Thud!

The minute everything was taken into the crystal dimension, the magical trap stopped working immediately. It was like the magical trap was being put on hold. Jin-Tian collapsed on the ground with extreme exhaustion…

"It worked!" Zheng-Fu said while looking at the stone that was covered by golden light and strange letters. He started to move himself to see if the stone would do anything to him, but it did not. Then he sighed hard and said…

"It almost got me!"

After being able to move as usual and knowing that the magical trap had stopped working, Zheng-Fu rushed to seize Jin-Tian and put it in the Cave of the Immortals instantly for it to revive itself…
