76: Re-entering the mysterious world

In the following days, Li Ke, apart from his daily Cultivation, was preparing for the upcoming auction.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that the Qi beneath the Soul Summoning Forest behind the castle was rising at an astonishing speed.

The Silver Armor Corpse's transformation had already entered its final stages, and it should awaken in the next few days.

In the study.

Li Ke sat cross-legged, the Summoning Demon Scripture slowly circulating within his body.

With a thought, he once again separated a wisp of his Divine Soul, attempting to probe into the black fissures in the Void Realm, searching for that bizarre Soul Sand space.

This time, it was unexpectedly smooth.

That wisp of Divine Soul, as if pulled by an invisible gravitational force, merged into a distorted and blurry light and shadow.

In an instant, bizarre scenes reappeared.

Countless colorful mushroom people, humming out-of-tune "yi ya ya" songs, flashed past his eyes.

In an empty room, a magnificent dress danced elegantly, its movements eerie.

A pot of dark green medicinal soup, bubbling with countless air bubbles, imprisoned tiny struggling human figures within each bubble...

These grotesque and bizarre scenes rapidly rotated Li Ke a revolving lantern.

Finally, the scene before Li Ke's eyes suddenly froze.

......

"Bang... bang... bang..."

Li Ke found himself hiding under a bed.

Beneath him was an old wooden floor, and the air was filled with a faint scent of wood and dust.

His limbs were slender, and he was wearing a light pink bear pajama, seemingly having transformed into a seven or eight-year-old little girl.

Outside the bed, a pair of strange large feet paced back and forth in the room.

"Hehe... where are you... my good daughter..."

"Good granddaughter, come out quickly, don't play hide-and-seek with grandma anymore..."

"Little darling, Daddy's back, I bought you a new doll..."

A strange voice, sometimes Li Ke an old woman, sometimes Li Ke an adult man, and sometimes with a hint of feminine tenderness, echoed in the room.

The voice seemed to deliberately imitate the little girl's different family members, calling her name, subtly revealing a chilling distortion and malice.

An uncontrollable sense of fear surged from the little girl's body, rapidly sweeping towards Li Ke's mind.

This wisp of Li Ke's mind also felt a chill.

"It's another strange scene Li Ke this. What exactly is this place?"

Li Ke forcibly suppressed the waves of fear within him, his mind deep in thought.

He peered through the gap under the bed, roughly observing the details in the room.

The floor was slightly old, dark wooden planks.

The room outside didn't look large, but it was quite cozily decorated.

The walls were covered with light pink floral wallpaper, and a small dressing table was placed in the corner.

Several brightly colored cloth dolls were scattered on the floor, along with a few pieces of clothing clearly belonging to a little girl: a pink dress and white socks with lace.

Judging from these details, this should be the room of a girl from a well-off family.

Li Ke's gaze inadvertently swept over a rabbit cloth doll scattered on the floor.

On the chest of that rabbit doll, a small blue star badge was pinned.

"This is?"

He quickly searched his mind for the origin of this emblem.

"This is the symbol of the Star Orbit Secret Cult of the Golden Finch Dynasty..."

"Could this be somewhere in the Golden Finch Dynasty?"

While Li Ke was pondering, suddenly, the strange large feet pacing back and forth in the room stopped by the bed, motionless.

The air seemed to solidify.

Li Ke could feel the fear coming from this body constantly surging, and he silently held his breath.

He carefully examined the strange large feet in front of him.

The skin on the feet was abnormally pale, covered with dense cracks, revealing dark brown flesh beneath the cracks.

The nails of the ten toes were unusually sharp, presenting a strange bluish-black color.

A faint, fishy odor emanated from the feet, drilling into his nostrils.

After a long while, there was no movement in the room.

Just when Li Ke thought the other party hadn't discovered him yet, a voice filled with malicious joy suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Hehe... I found you!"

Li Ke turned his head sharply.

A distorted and ferocious head was hanging down from the other side of the bed, pressing against the bed edge.

On that face, the facial features were squeezed together, and a cruelly wide grin revealed two rows of jagged fangs.

Foul-smelling viscous fluid continuously seeped from the gaps between the teeth, dripping onto the floor, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

This strange existence, at some unknown point, had already climbed onto the bed and silently lowered its head from the other side, seemingly having observed him for a long time.

In an instant, Li Ke felt the fear emanating from this small body reach an unprecedented peak.

The surrounding space began to fluctuate violently, as if countless fine cracks were appearing Li Ke glass.

"Screw you!"

Li Ke decisively stopped enduring.

This wisp of his Divine Soul, attached to the little girl, instantly began to burn violently.

"Whoosh!"

A layer of ethereal and transparent colorless flames fiercely ignited from the surface of the little girl's frail body.

As soon as the monster's arm grabbed the little girl's leg, that transparent flame, Li Ke a maggot on bone, rapidly spread upwards, instantly igniting the monster's entire arm.

"Ahhh—!"

The monster suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream and retracted its arm Li Ke lightning.

When Li Ke controlled the little girl's body and crawled out from under the bed, the monster's entire body was already covered by that layer of ethereal transparent flames.

It frantically clawed at its body in the room, trying to extinguish the flames, emitting incomprehensible roars of pain.

The flames on its body burned more and more fiercely, emitting a pungent burning smell.

It suddenly rushed towards the little girl Li Ke had transformed into, seemingly wanting to perish together.

However, Li Ke merely extended a small hand and lightly pointed at the monster in the Void Realm.

His Soul-burning power transformed into an invisible mental fluctuation, spreading out Li Ke ripples on water in an instant.

The transparent flames burning on the monster's body instantly solidified upon contact with this fluctuation.

The entire monster instantly turned into a lifelike ice sculpture in the form of flames, eerily frozen in place, maintaining its forward-charging posture.

"Crack... crack..."

Fine cracks, Li Ke a spiderweb, rapidly spread across the surface of the ice sculpture.

Finally, the entire ice sculpture collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of fine black powder that scattered with the wind.

"Indeed, here, the power of illusion is greatly enhanced."

Li Ke looked at the powder on the ground, deep in thought.

Li Ke pushed open the seemingly old wooden door of the room and walked out.

Outside the door, it was not the expected living room or hallway, but a boundless desert composed of colorful sand.

The cozy little room earlier was just a lonely small wooden house floating in this vast desert, appearing tiny and abrupt.

"Soul Sand..."

Li Ke didn't waste time; he could feel that this wisp of his Divided Soul was about to burn out.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Soul Sand beneath his feet, which emitted a strange glow.

A pure Soul Power, following the connection of this wisp of his Divided Soul, merged into the ethereal.

However, after only a moment, the entire colorful desert space before his eyes began to quickly become illusory.

Li Ke knew that this wisp of his mind was about to completely dissipate.

He took advantage of the last moment before his mind dissipated, suddenly reached out, and grabbed a large handful of Soul Sand from the ground.

The next moment, he completely disappeared from the spot.
