"Hey! Ruo Xin, it's me." Li Rui was as happy as a child, but who knew that the battle just now had unknowingly left a mark in his eyes, seemingly unable to close. Suddenly, Li Rui kicked back.
"That was too dangerous! If I hadn't forgotten to close my eyes just now, it would have been..." Li Rui murmured.
At this moment, Li Rui had no thoughts of retreating. To move forward, he needed a rope, and surprisingly, one actually appeared!
From Li Rui's second glance, the scene before him was no longer Ruo Xin, but rather a figure emerging from the sea of his heart, along with a rope; it was as if whatever he thought would manifest.
Now in this situation, he needed to think carefully and not act rashly. This environment indeed looked like this, and it seemed to be created by his own mind, which was quite terrifying.
However, within this Ninth Layer, it seemed isolated from the outside world, yet there were so many strange gases around, and they were much stronger than before.
Li Rui couldn't help but inhale them into his Dantian, transforming them into a bit of True Qi. The effect was very obvious; after half an hour, he felt refreshed! The only dissatisfaction was that if he absorbed these things for too long, it seemed to create some sort of immunity; when he inhaled again, it would have no effect.
With Li Rui feeling great, he focused all his energy into his eyes, wanting to see everything around him clearly and achieve an unexpected effect.
In just three breaths' time, Li Rui had already found the location of the boundary eye. However, he hadn't expected that this thing would be at such a high position; destroying it would be quite difficult!
Suddenly! Li Rui thought of a method to destroy it. He quickly unbuckled his belt and took out the Water Fire Staff, tying the belt directly onto it and moving towards that point.
Using this method for the first time felt quite unfamiliar; he missed the target! Li Rui had to pull it back and then aimed again with the staff! An astonishing scene occurred: the Water Fire Staff actually stuck to the surface and wouldn't come off no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly, a Glazed Crystal Ball appeared.
"Water Fire Staff, come back to me!"
What responded to Li Rui was a gentle breeze passing by; the situation was truly awkward! He had jumped up about fifty meters high, with an endless abyss below him—this was life-threatening.
Suddenly, Li Rui thought of something: the Water Fire Staff seemed like it could grow larger.
"Grow big! Quickly!" This time, the Water Fire Staff seemed to heed Li Rui's command and expanded in an instant, almost breaking the entire Glazed Crystal Ball!
"Grow bigger!"
The Water Fire Staff seemed to reach its limit and suddenly shrank! But this made Li Rui anxious as he jumped around.
It seems there is no good solution. As the saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold!" So let's give it a try.
Little did they know, Li Rui stepped in and saw that things seemed to be going smoothly. In just three seconds, he had already grasped the Water Fire Staff, concentrating his energy into his left hand, and suddenly struck towards the Glazed Crystal Ball.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Li Rui's left hand suddenly got stuck? It was truly frustrating; he never expected such a situation. He couldn't go down or up, and was stuck in between.
Li Rui wanted to use the Water Fire Staff, but the harder he tried, the tighter it stuck. He was instantly dumbfounded.
In this situation, Li Rui began to realize that everything he had done was in vain. The only thing he could do was to think quietly.
Everyone understands the principle that haste makes waste, but always thinking about it proved to be of no use.
Li Rui started to calm his restless heart and decided to do nothing but wait it out.
To his surprise, he noticed that the Water Fire Staff on top of the Glazed Crystal Ball seemed to be loosening. This made Li Rui very happy.
He soon realized that he just needed a little more time and could only wait.
About an hour later, it seemed that there was a separation occurring between the Water Fire Staff and the crystal ball. Seizing this moment, Li Rui suddenly exerted all his strength and pulled the Water Fire Staff straight out of the ball.
Little did they know that good things don't last long; the crystal ball seemed to deform as a long sticky thread shot out, trying to grab the Water Fire Staff from his hand. In a split second, Li Rui kicked at this sticky thread with his right foot.
Who would have thought he overlooked one thing? This thing could stick to people. As a result, while his right hand and left foot were not stuck, the rest of his limbs were firmly fixed in place, leaving him hanging in mid-air in a rather comical scene.
"Roar!" Li Rui's situation was clearly not good; his emotions were very unstable. With another swing, both his hands and feet got stuck, and even the Water Fire Staff was glued to the other end.
Li Rui began to realize that everything he had done was futile. What could he do now? He felt helpless; he never expected this troublesome thing would play him like this.
If only he had known, he wouldn't have come to join the fun.
At the same time, the Glazed Crystal Ball seemed to be glowing. He had no idea what this entire sphere was up to; images flickered from inside out, showcasing exotic delicacies.
At this moment, Li Rui couldn't help but swallow the saliva in his throat; swallowing this thing would surely bind all his meridians! This was unacceptable.
As time passed, little did they know that an hour had already gone by. Most of the people outside had dispersed, and some even suspected that Li Rui had already died on the ninth level.
The one most worried was Ruo Xin, who had completely neglected her own cultivation, staying awake through the night in the Floating City, holding onto a single belief in her heart.
"Let's go back! I can't sense his aura even on the eighth level. Sigh!" The Helmsman lamented repeatedly; who wouldn't mourn the fall of such a talent?
Yet Ruo Xin remained there, believing that a miracle would surely happen.
Meanwhile, Li Rui was utterly frustrated with his situation. Unable to do anything, he decided to cultivate for a while. He would think of further attempts later.
When Li Rui thought about cultivating, he couldn't help but recall the next page of that nameless book! It seemed he could absorb some solid energy balls into his body, provided he had the capacity to endure it.
Given the current situation, he couldn't worry too much. Li Rui began to recite the incantation. Who would have known that upon reaching one-third of the incantation's operation, a loud "bang" erupted from his internal organs, causing Li Rui to spit out three mouthfuls of blood!
