C10 No Change
The most important point was that he did not have to face the problem of memories of the original owner of the body. After all, he had not returned to the Qin Family for several years already, and at that time, he would just say that it was too long, and would be fine if he did not remember anything.
Plus, he didn't need to face Young Gang Master's' scary 'ambiguity, regardless of whether it was true or false, he still wanted to escape.
Apart from this, he was no longer in Longevity Gang. With a shake of his body, he changed into Qin Family and Seventh Young Master. Most likely, Wild Wolf Gang would not dare to openly order him to be hunted, let alone be Lee Meiniang's personal guard.
He really didn't want to know that returning to the Qin Family actually had so many benefits. He actually didn't think about it before, and Qin Yi instantly felt like there was another reason.
Since he had made up his mind, Qin Yi didn't think about it anymore. He put away the ginseng box and continued his speculation of being interrupted by the man in black and started to study the painting again.
Of course, before that, he had to confirm whether the man in black really left or not. Qin Yi walked around the courtyard and found nothing abnormal.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't dare to relax. The other party was unfathomable. Even if he was secretly watching him, it would be hard to find him. Thus, he decided to cultivate in the courtyard.
After cultivating for more than two hours, Qin Yi reckoned that they should leave even if someone was watching them. Thus, he returned to the room.
Qin Yi opened the painting in front of him and looked at it carefully again.
It was still a slightly dark starry sky with blurry stars. Qin Yi slowly put his left hand, which had an imprint on it, on top of the scroll and urged the imprint on his back.
The moment the imprint was activated, Qin Yi noticed that his consciousness seemed to have some sort of connection with the painting. It was extremely mysterious and amazing.
Qin Yi was happy. His guess was right. This imprint was indeed related to that purple light. It should be able to trigger the secret of this space painting.
Circulating the Star Guiding Spell, Qin Yi increased the speed at which the imprint was activated. He shockingly discovered that the purple energy within the imprint that he could not activate no matter what was done, was automatically channeled into the painting in the starry sky as if it was attracted.
As the purple energy continued to flow into the scroll, it slowly began to brighten, making the stars on top of it clearly visible.
What shocked Qin Yi the most was that as the light intensity of the painting increased, an ancient stone door pattern appeared at the center of the painting. An ancient aura was being emitted from the stone door!
Qin Yi's eyes were fixed on the stone door and his expression kept changing. He noticed that there was a mark in the middle of the door that was exactly the same as the mark on the back of his hand. However, it was completely gray.
This discovery shocked Qin Yi quite a bit. His curiosity towards the victory of unknown fear made him immediately decide to stop the activation of the mark on the back of his left hand.
However, it was too late. Just when Qin Yi stopped the idea of activating the imprint, the ancient stone door on the scroll suddenly emitted a white light and enveloped his body.
Qin Yi felt a huge pulling force appear, followed by a series of spinning. When he regained his clarity, he had already appeared in a dusky environment!
"What's going on? Did you teleport again? "
Qin Yi looked around in shock and found that he was no longer in his room. He quickly looked at his own body and saw that the mark on the back of his hand was still there. Then, he let out a sigh of relief.
Although this could also mean that his body had directly passed through the other party's body, as long as it wasn't a soul piercing, it would be fine. He didn't want to change his body again, adapting to his identity would be too troublesome.
Qin Yi suppressed his nervousness and started to observe his surroundings.
He was in a grey and misty space. He couldn't see any trace of green, only a desolate greyish color.
When he looked up, there were no sun, moon, or stars in the sky. There weren't even any clouds in the sky. There was only a grayish fog three zhang above his head, making it hard for people to breathe.
Of course, there was no wind, and no signs of life.
This was a place filled with dead silence!
The thing that made Qin Yi most uncomfortable was that the space was very small and the surroundings were covered with black fog. He tried to walk forward, but was stopped by something like a crystal wall. As soon as he got close, he felt a repelling force, and no matter what, he could not get through.
"What's going on? "Could it be that this is a sealed off space? Could it be …?"
Qin Yi suddenly thought of a possibility. That space painting might be a space type treasure with its own space inside, and that was when he entered.
However, there was clearly nothing in this space. What was the point in bringing him in?
Most importantly, how would he get out?
Qin Yi was getting anxious. If he was trapped in this place and couldn't get out, then he might as well just die.
There was also another issue that worried him, and that was if this space was really inside the painting. Then, wouldn't the painting still be inside his room after he came in?
If he still could not go out before daybreak and was discovered in the house, then even if he went out, his fate would not be any better!
Under the control of anxiety and fear, Qin Yi quickly checked the entire space inch by inch. However, he didn't find anything abnormal. This place was like a cage surrounded by black fog. There was no way out at all.
Just when Qin Yi was feeling dejected and hopeless, he suddenly found that the black fog had started to roll up and a narrow stone arch bridge appeared in the black fog!
The stone arch bridge was not big, but it crossed the two sides of the crystal wall, creating a path inside the crystal wall.
This change made Qin Yi happy. No matter what, it was better than nothing. This meant that this place wasn't a danger zone.
Qin Yi walked to the end of the bridge while being on guard.
The bridge was not very long, and it was only about twenty meters long. It was entirely made of greyish white boulders. On both sides of the bridge were stone railings engraved with patterns.
The bridge was empty, and there was no river to be seen under it. The other end of the bridge was still shrouded in black fog.
Qin Yi couldn't figure out the purpose of this bridge, so he could only go up and take a look.
Qin Yi walked onto the stone bridge while holding his heart and raising his foot.
"Shua!"
Just as Qin Yi's foot landed on the bridge, the stone bridge shook and a humanoid shadow condensed from the middle of the bridge. Qin Yi's foot landed on the bridge, then he saw the stone bridge tremble and a humanoid shadow condensed from the middle of the bridge.
The process was too fast. Qin Yi only had enough time to subconsciously move his body backwards. All he felt was a sharp pain in his throat and his body had already left the bridge.
After his body left the surface of the bridge, the illusory shadow also dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.
Qin Yi was covered in cold sweat. The pain in his throat told him that it was definitely not an illusion. He wiped his hand with blood. If he was half a second slower, his throat would have been cut open!
"What should we do?"
Qin Yi looked at the bridge which had once again become empty and empty. He then looked at the blood on his hands and had an ugly expression on his face.
If there was a way out, then it would definitely be across the bridge. But now, it was impossible for him to cross it at all. He didn't know what that phantom was, but it was too fast for him to react!
Moreover, he only had the strength of the first stage of the Houtian realm and hadn't even learned a single move. Moreover, he was bare-handed and didn't even have the ability to compete with others.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yi regretted his impulses very much. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have been so curious. He was courting death!
He didn't know what that purple energy was, he could use the Star Guiding Spell to absorb the imprint on his back, but he couldn't control it. If he could control it well, he wouldn't have ignited the stone door.
Qin Yi looked at the pattern on the back of his hand and felt that too many things had happened to his body, so much that it made him exhausted.
"Huh?"
When Qin Yi saw the imprint on the back of his hand, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and immediately put his hand under his eye to carefully examine it.
"That's right, the purple energy is decreasing bit by bit!"
Qin Yi was sure that he wasn't seeing things. The purple lines on the symbol were turning gray bit by bit, meaning the purple energy stored inside was being consumed.
What caused this consumption?
Qin Yi didn't need to think to know that it was definitely due to the support of this space.
In other words, the opening of this space required purple energy, or he needed to use up energy to enter. No matter what it was, if he used up all his energy, he would leave this place.
After leaving?
Qin Yi speculated that there were only two possibilities. The first was that the space was closed, so he naturally returned to the world outside the painting. The other problem was that this space was actually a test. If one did not complete the quest and find a way out after the time was up, there might be some punishment or even death!
There were two extremes, life and death. Qin Yi didn't know which one would happen, but he had no choice but to wait.
This feeling was not good. It was like putting one's life in the hands of another.
Qin Yi made up his mind that if he could get out safely this time, he must use any means possible to improve his strength and try his best to avoid this powerless scene.
If he had the strength to kill the phantom on the bridge now, it would perhaps be a completely different scenario.
The bridge was the only way out, it was blocked there. Qin Yi could only stare blankly in the narrow gray space, waiting for the energy in the handprint to run out.
After about half an hour, the mark on the back of his hand completely dimmed down.
Under Qin Yi's nervous state, the familiar pulling force appeared once again. After experiencing the same spinning motion, his body appeared in Qin Yi's room once again!
"Hu!"
Qin Yi let out a heavy sigh. He felt lucky to have survived. It seemed that he did not want to kill him, but rather wanted to send him out.
He then started to inspect his body. He was surprised to find that the posture of his body after coming out was exactly the same as when he entered. Even the painting in front of him hadn't changed at all!
