Nie Shuangshuang let out a light breath, looking at Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao, who were gazing back at her with curious eyes, as well as Feng Feiyu, and spoke calmly, "Those mountains ahead did not move; it’s our perception that’s been compromised."
"The mountains didn’t move!" Feng Qiao interjected in slight surprise, with a look of confusion, "Could it be an Illusion Realm, yet Phantom Monkey didn’t detect any traces of an illusion, or maybe it’s too small and its perception failed?"
As soon as Feng Qiao finished speaking, the Phantom Monkey, understanding the situation, immediately jumped up and shrieked in protest, completely forgetting it had consumed the Communication Pill, only focusing on expressing its dissatisfaction noisily.
Feng Qiao was caught off guard by the Phantom Monkey’s sudden excited reaction, but Nie Shuangshuang, amused, quickly grabbed the Phantom Monkey bouncing tirelessly on Feng Feiyu’s shoulder to explain its stance.
"It’s not the Phantom Monkey’s fault; ahead is neither an Illusion Realm nor an Illusion Array, but rather, there’s a Shadow Cat in those mountains."
"A Shadow Cat!" Feng Qiao exclaimed in surprise, his voice too loud, startling Feng Feiyu, who wasn’t aware of what kind of demon beast a Shadow Cat was to make Feng Qiao so shocked.
Before Feng Feiyu could recover, Feng Qiao excitedly ranted, "It’s actually a Shadow Cat, an incredibly rare Holy Beast!
I’ve heard that a Shadow Cat is born at the Golden Core Stage, and upon adulthood, it can rival a Crossing Tribulation Holy Beast, and is born with Spiritual Wisdom, as well as cultivating at an extremely fast pace.
Shadow Cats excel at Space Techniques, hence why we’re unable to reach those mountains, not due to the environment or Illusion Array, but because of the Shadow Cat’s Space Techniques obstructing us?
No wonder the Phantom Monkey couldn’t spot the issue; Space Techniques indeed fall outside the scope of Illusion Realms or Illusion Arrays."
Nie Shuangshuang nodded, "This Shadow Cat’s level is not low. It used the Space Folding Technique to compress and fold the space in between.
Thus, no matter how far we advance, we remain within its folded space, making it impossible to approach the mountain, hence giving us the impression that the mountain keeps moving on its own.
But it’s not; it’s due to us being tossed back and forth within the folded space, resulting in this sensation.
As for the changing scenery we perceive around the mountain, it should be the Shadow Cat concealing other places’ landscapes over the surroundings of the mountains, leading to the illusion of a changed scenery."
"Even though we know the cause, how do we break through the Shadow Cat’s space folding? I’ve heard the Shadow Cat’s innate space ability, even if someone’s level is higher, it might not be able to unravel its space techniques."
Throughout the conversation, Gong Junbao couldn’t help but speak softly. Although timid, Gong Junbao was well-informed; he knew about the Shadow Cat, a Holy Beast rarely seen and known by few.
Feng Feiyu tried recalling any information about the Shadow Cat from his past life but could find none despite racking his memories.
He recollected that, in his past life, after Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao received inheritance, there were no reports of a Shadow Cat within this Secret Realm, suggesting the Shadow Cat probably didn’t appear back then.
I don’t know what differences this life has that caught the Shadow Cat’s attention, but this means I can’t ensure if Gong Junbao and Feng Qiao will successfully receive inheritance this time.
Nie Shuangshuang lightly leapt onto Mo Xuan’s enormous head, raised her hand, and instantly, thousands of clones from Thousand Silk Entanglement exploded in front of her like arrows swarming out!
With Thousand Silk Entanglement’s assault, transparent ripples suddenly appeared in front of everyone, followed by thin black lines appearing in the air, accompanied by the sound of something shattering.
Gong Junbao and Feng Qiao subconsciously gulped—it had smashed through space directly! This power was too overwhelmingly strong! Could this truly be the power at the Out-of-Body Stage?
At this moment, Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao fell into deep self-doubt. They weren’t ignorant, having witnessed Out-of-Body Stage Great Cultivators in action, experiencing earth-shaking force every time, but it paled compared to Nie Shuangshuang’s formidable might!
In the shock-stricken gaze of Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao, the black lines in front expanded ever larger until a massive shattering sound rang out, causing the scenery in front to collapse abruptly!
What Nie Shuangshuang crushed was the Shadow Cat’s folded space, and with it shattered, the true sight ahead was finally revealed.
It turned out that, after such a long journey, Nie Shuangshuang and the others had already reached the foot of the mountains, barely short of seeing the lushly forested towering peaks looming over them.
Honestly, with the Xuan Blood Crocodile’s fast pace, it’s no wonder it seemed like the walk didn’t advance at all.
Upon reaching the mountain foot, everyone discovered a highly lavish hall located at the mountain peak.
Witnessing this hall, Feng Feiyu recalled news from his previous life—the inheritance Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao acquired occurred in a hall, and later, Liang Youzhang also received his inheritance within this hall.
There are three inheritances in total: one being Alchemy Dao, another Sword Dao, and the last is Sound Attack Skill, known as Sound Dao.
In the past life, Gong Junbao gained Alchemy Dao inheritance, Feng Qiao obtained Sword Dao inheritance, and lastly, the Sound Dao inheritance went to Liang Youzhang.
With knowledge of this final inheritance being Sound Dao, Liang Youzhang spared no expense to acquire the Secret Realm Map from Gong Junbao.
In this life, Feng Feiyu didn’t want Liang Youzhang to exploit the situation again to gain this Sound Attack inheritance to enhance his power.
Initially, Feng Feiyu planned for Feng Qiao to obtain the Sound Dao inheritance, Gong Junbao to retain his Alchemy Dao, and for Nie Shuangshuang to receive the Sword Dao inheritance.
However, Feng Feiyu didn’t anticipate Nie Shuangshuang’s weapon turning out to be a bundle of silk threads and their formidable power, but Nie Shuangshuang retained her sword, exuding chilling Sword Intent, clearly showing that her Sword Dao Cultivation is strong.
Feng Feiyu was unsure why Nie Shuangshuang didn’t reveal the Thousand Silk Entanglement weapon in the past life, but it’s comprehensible.
In the past, Feng Feiyu wouldn’t have reached the level where Nie Shuangshuang, a Great Cultivator, is, coupled with cultivators wielding many Magic Treasures not being unusual.
Since everyone wishes to retain a trump card, hiding the count of their Magic Treasures and weapons is normal, as these could be lifesaving assets at crucial moments.
If Nie Shuangshuang consistently employed Sword Dao before others and only used Thousand Silk Entanglement when venturing out or facing danger, it’s unsurprising others were unaware of her possessing Thousand Silk Entanglement as a Magic Treasure.
With Nie Shuangshuang’s favored weapon changing, Feng Feiyu became uncertain about how to assist Nie Shuangshuang in choosing the inheritance; obtaining inheritance isn’t effortless, should you receive it, cultivation is imperative.
If Nie Shuangshuang prioritizes Thousand Silk Entanglement, gaining the Sword Dao inheritance might not benefit her.
While Feng Feiyu was pondering this dilemma, he discovered himself already at the mountain summit, carried by Nie Shuangshuang to stand before the Inheritance Hall, with Nie Shuangshuang turning her back to him, seemingly confronting something.
