Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares pointed at Big Luo beside him and said, “He’s under me, and you can call him Big Luo. This stone stick is connected to you, but it has some connections with him as well. The two of you can work together and guide each other in your process of discovery, using this stone stick as the basis.”

Ning Wan’ge had no opinions and nodded her head. “I’m okay with that.”

She was a distant person by nature, and she wasn’t used to interacting with others. However, she didn’t actively reject the notion either.

This stone stick tugged vigorously at her heartstrings, and she felt like many things suddenly surfaced in her mind. However, these images and thoughts were blurred and obscure, and they were difficult to understand.

She was positive after the episode that this stone stick was connected to her lost memories. Ning Wan’ge was a relatively carefree person, and this was probably the only thing that she couldn’t let go of.

Big Luo turned towards Lin Feng and Lin Feng said, “You will carry that ring with you, and follow Ning Wan’ge into the Void Battleground. You have already remade your physical body, so you can travel independently.”

“Yes, Master Lin.” Big Luo bowed respectfully towards Lin Feng, and Ning Wan’ge spoke her formalities before their departure as well. The two of them left the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain and went out of the Ying Sea.

Human and demon broke open the void and entered the Void Battleground. The Void Battleground was full of dangers and peril, but both Ning Wan’ge and Big Luo were powerful enough to keep themselves safe in most situations.

Searching for something or someone inside the Void Battleground was like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, their chances would be greatly boosted with the help of certain clues.

Big Luo was aware that even though he felt something after interacting with it, the stone stick didn’t really change much. However, the patterns engraved on its surface sparkled with dull luster when Ning Wan’ge touched it.

This radiance seemed identical to the colorful lights circling around Ning Wan’ge’s body, except it was a little more austere.

An idea surfaced in Big Luo’s mind. “Does that mean that there’s some connection between the two of us?”

He flew through the void with Ning Wan’ge as thoughts spun in his head. Dark space that resembled the starry night sky brushed past their shoulders as they surged forward.

His new physical body allowed him to travel freely inside the void. This sensation pacified his emotions, and he felt extremely carefree in this moment.

The confusion and anxiety that had plagued him before were temporarily tossed to one side.

Even though he was calm and composed by nature, and he had gone through many drastic changes in his life, Big Luo was still considered young and he still had the ambition and dynamism of a youth.

Ning Wan’ge turned and glanced at Big Luo. She was a little surprised as well when Lin Feng remarked that the stone stick in her hands was connecfted to Big Luo, and she wondered whether Big Luo was connected to her as well.

However, Ning Wan’ge wasn’t too concerned and she focused on searching for new clues with the stone stick. Perhaps everything would be revealed when the time came.

Ning Wan’ge constantly casted spells to activate the stone stick in her hands as they travelled.

Ning Wan’ge figured out more about the stone stick as time passed, and she began to understand more about it.

The radiance flickering on the stone stick grew denser and more brilliant.

Light started to extend gradually from both ends of the stone stick and formed something like a projection, as if it was slowly repairing and mending its broken ends so that the stone stick could become whole once again.

Both Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge felt their spirits lifted as they watched.

Ning Wan’ge continued soaring through space, but she closed her eyes and most of her attention was focused on the stone stick.

She raised the stone stick after a while, and the stone stick began to hover in midair. It was about three feet long, and both ends were whole and unbroken. Patterns were also engraved on the surface of the thin stone stick.

“It looks like a metal stick that fell off a railing…” Big Luo murmured as he watched.

Ning Wan’ge opened her eyes and turned towards Big Luo. “Help me out, Big Luo.”

Big Luo nodded her head and Ning Wan’ge began to cast a spell. Vibrant lights sparkled all over her body once again, and everything felt dreamy as the rays of light began expanding in all directions.

The expanding beams of light gradually became like a patch of light mist that eventually enveloped the entire stone stick.

Ning Wan’ge’s body slowly vanished, and the pervasive light mist collapsed together and flowed into the stone stick.

Nothing seemed to change with the stone stick’s external appearance. It was still about three feet long, and it was two inches wide. However, Big Luo had a different feeling when he scrutinized this stone stick.

The stone stick seemed to have become incredibly enormous. It wasn’t huge in terms of physical size, but the boundless profundities and sophistication contained within.

Purple lights flashed in Big Luo’s eyes, and he lifted a finger and touched the stone stick.

The stone stick immediately transformed into a beam of flowing light and surged into the far end of the horizon before it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Big Luo hurriedly picked up speed and followed behind the beam of flowing light as they flew through void space.

They didn’t know how long they had traveled, and they even met with several violent void storms along the way. However, Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge knew where they were going and proceeded forward.

There was no such thing as distance or direction inside the Void Battleground. It felt as if there wasn’t up or down, no left or right, and no forward or behind. The two of them glided through the air before they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Ning Wan’ge was integrated with the stone stick and had transformed into the ray of flowing light that showed them the way. It rotated continuously void space, and subsequently wrote down a series of peculiar talismans.

These talismans intertwined and gradually formed a giant gate that was made completely from light.

The large gate opened with a boom, and rays of light burst out from within. The rays of light separated void space and formed its own plane.

Big Luo was inside this plane, and he immediately felt as if the void around him was no longer disorganized and chaotic. There was now up, down, left, right, forward and behind.

The ray of flowing light solidified after creating the giant gate, and returned to the thin stone stick’s original form while Ning Wan’ge revealed her human form again.

Ning Wan’ge stepped into the giant gate as soon as was possible. Big Luo said nothing and followed closely behind her.

The lights gradually dimmed as they entered through the gate. The plane before them was dusky and dull, and there was nothing at all inside.

There was a great pavilion located in the distance along the equator, and the great pavilion had many fences and railings surrounding it.

The only thing was that these fences and railings were in tatters. Ning Wan’ge tossed the stone stick, and it spun in the air for a few seconds before it flew towards the great pavilion and landed on a corner of the fence.

The stone stick’s two ends fitted right into the fence and remade one of its handrails.

However, the dilapidated handrails still had many missing pieces and they were nowhere in sight.

The great pavilion in front of them also appeared battered and decrepit. Ning Wan’ge stood before the great pavilion and just stared into space, as if she was rooted to the spot.

The colorful radiance around her body that made her appearance obscure gradually receded and revealed Ning Wan’ge’s true appearance. She was wearing a flowing white palace dress, and white threads draped like waterfalls.

Ning Wan’ge heaved a heavy sigh after a long time and said, “I’ve been here before, a long time ago. But I can’t remember what happened.”

She turned towards Big Luo and realized that Big Luo was also in a slight daze. Big Luo recovered after he heard Ning Wan’ge’s words, and he whispered with an inscrutable expression. “I have never been here before. However, I feel a little fearful now that I’m here.”

The two of them proceeded to the great pavilion’s main hall. A faint gust of wind seemed to billow past them as they arrived at the main gate.

They stepped in, and suddenly they were outside the pavilion once again. Big Luo raised his eyebrows and muttered, “It’s already so broken-down - yet there’s still an esoteric magic formation operating outside?”

“No, wait. That’s not right. The magic formation’s functionality isn’t affected by how decrepit great pavilion is, as the magic formation isn’t entirely reliant on its geographical location.”

Big Luo was quick with his analysis, but Ning Wan’ge seemed a little phased out as they continued forward once more.

Her eyes didn’t seem to have a focal point. She started to talk, but it wasn’t towards the gate to the main hall. Big Luo felt his heart skip a beat and immediately followed her footsteps.

With Ning Wan’ge’s leadership, the two of them finally entered the main hall.

There was a light shadow located at the center of the main hall, but there was almost nothing left all around.

The light shadow seemed to depict a person sitting cross-legged in midair. One could only see a face upon closer inspection, but this person’s actual features were obscured.

It felt as if this person belonged to the Chaos and was masked behind layers of cloud and mist.

Big Luo’s pupils immediately contracted. He thought about the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, a powerful demon, and this was her classic physical appearance and image.

However, Big Luo felt his chest muscles tighten as this thought surfaced in his head. He seemed to have some connection with the figure in this blurry light shadow.

He glanced at Ning Wan’ge, and realized that Ning Wan’ge’s expression was a little lackadaisical. She was just slowly walking towards the light shadow.

“Is this place related to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage?” Big Luo frowned and asked. Ning Wan’ge seemed a little dazed, and she answered while she continued to walk. “No. I interacted with her mana inside the Ying Sea during the War of the Two Worlds, and it felt very different.”

“The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s powers made me feel disoriented and made me feel agony. However, this light shadow in front of me makes me feel… intimate? Yes, intimate…”

She reached out and touched the light shadow, and her entire body shuddered.

The light shadow was just a virtual projection. It immediately dissipated when Ning Wan’ge touched it and transformed into specks of light dust that drifted around in the sky before they vanished as well.

Big Luo’s gazed at Ning Wan’ge -her body was sparkling with rays of light once again.

Images that had been sealed off in the deepest recesses of her mind were starting to surface.

A little girl that was heaving her dying breaths. Her family had been murdered by their enemies, and the little girl herself was heinously wounded. She seemed like she was beyond treatment, but a dreamy figure and unidentifiable figure suddenly appeared before her and bent down to watch her.

That figure watched her quietly before this figure swept her up before it waved its sleeve. Images and scenery flashed by and the two of them ended up inside a great hall.

The great hall simple and unornamented - but it was clearly similar to the one that Ning Wan’ge and Big Luo were currently in.

That light shadow worked magic to save the dying little girl. The young girl had already crossed the boundaries of light and death - her physical body was completely destroyed, and there was only a thread of her consciousness left, and any hope to save her was minimal.

The young girl was semi-conscious, and she seemed to hear a faint sigh beside her ear. It belonged to a woman, and it sounded empty and distant.
