Chapter 129 Guide
The mont Adam had said those words, surprisingly enough, he had actually stopped falling. He couldn't help but mutter incredulously, "No way this is all it took to stop?!"
He didn't know if this was a coincidence or not. Thus, he decided to test it out. With bated breaths, he tightly shut his eyes, and scread, "Fall!"
However, nothing happened. He continued to levitate in the sea of colors. Adam slightly opened his eyes and looked around. Seeing that he wasn't falling, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I guess that was a coincidence after all." The youth nodded while stroking his chin. "Well, I'm not complaining."
He looked around, trying to discern where he was. In his vision, all he saw was a vast expanse of colors mixing with one another. However, there was a clear distinction between the boundaries of the myriad colors.
To Adam, it seed that these colors wanted to mix together but were sohow unable to. Everywhere he looked, the sa thing was happening.
"How fascinating," he muttered, "hmm, but what should I do now?"
Just as the youth was wondering where to go, he caught sight of sothing approaching him from the far distance. He squinted his eyes and tried to identify what it was, but it was too far away.
It appeared to be a white dot that was approaching him at a surprisingly fast speed.
"What is that?" Adam grew tense. After all, in this foreign dinsion, anything and anyone could be considered a hostile entity by him, who was not a native of this place.
So he hurriedly turned around and flew in the opposite direction of the white dot. Surprisingly, he found that he was able to skillfully maneuver his way around this ti in the Spirit World.
He couldn't help but wonder, Is this one of the perks of Spirit World Traversal?
It wouldn't be surprising. After all, the ability did have 'Traversal' in its na. Adam stretched his hands in front of him and willed it in his mind. The next mont, he flew off into the distance.
Flying in this dinsion ca as easy as breathing to him. It felt instinctual. Adam reveled in this newfound feeling, but when he looked back, his expression darkened. The white dot had gotten ridiculously close to him.
It was difficult for the youth to understand how that entity could have covered such a large distance in such a small amount of ti. But then he rembered sothing Berger had once said to him.
'Ti and space have no aning in the Spirit World.'
Overco by fear, Adam turned back around and flew even faster. He thought to himself, If anything bad happens, I'll instantly return to the material world—
However, before he could even finish his thought, the white dot that had been chasing him suddenly appeared in front of him. Adam was shocked out of his mind and he hurriedly tried to return to the material world.
But all of a sudden, the mont he glanced at the true form of the white dot, he was dumbfounded. Earlier, he couldn't make it out, but now he clearly could.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "You! You're that butterfly!"
The pristine, white butterfly gracefully fluttered up and down in front of the youth, seemingly nodding to his answer.
During his last visit to the Spirit World, after Adam had jumped off the floating island where the giant serpent resided, he had fallen into the dark-abyss-like place that was full of shadowy tendrils.
At the ti, he had thought that he would never make it out of that place. But just when all hope seed lost, this butterfly appeared out of nowhere and teleported him out of that nightmarish place.
Adam didn't know what happened to the butterfly afterward as he had woken up at a different place after the latter had teleported him out. But now that he happened to et the butterfly again, he was very happy.
"You saved
last ti, didn't you? I'm very grateful for it. Thank you very much!" Adam laughed foolishly.
He didn't know why, but in front of this strange butterfly, he felt at ho. It was as if he was in the presence of soone very dear to him. But at the sa ti, he was also very surprised by this feeling.
Adam knew for a fact that the butterfly hadn't cast any enchantnt-type spells on him. If it had, he would have instantly known because the white lotus would have countered it.
But despite that, why did he feel so comfortable around this Spirit World creature? He didn't know.
So he asked, "What's your na? Why do I feel so… holy around you?"
The butterfly didn't reply. Adam didn't know if it couldn't or whether it chose not to. Then, he saw the butterfly gently flying around him playfully. Seeing this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're having fun, huh?" He asked with a smile.
Suddenly, the butterfly made a few rounds around Adam's head and then flew away. Then it stopped a little distance away and turned back to look at Adam.
"You… want
to follow?" Adam asked curiously, having understood the butterfly's intentions.
The butterfly fluttered up and down.
Adam thought for a while and then nodded. "Okay."
He didn't feel any ill will from the butterfly. Moreover, his intuition was telling him that following it wouldn't bring him any harm. So he decided to play along.
The pair flew through the Spirit World with a distance of only a ter between them. The butterfly was the guide and Adam was the traveler. No matter how fast or slow they flew, the distance between them always remained a ter or less.
After a long ti, Adam was about to ask just where they were headed. But right at that mont, the space in front of the butterfly shattered like it was a fragile pane of glass. Spider-
web-shaped cracks started to form for tens of ters on end.
Seeing this, Adam's eyes widened in disbelief. He was sure that the space in front of them was an empty void. But despite that, it broke like the surface of a mirror. It was similar to how Blackie tore space, but at the sa ti, it was vastly different.
And before he knew it, he and the butterfly had already dove through one of the cracks of the shattered space. After the two had disappeared, the broken space nded itself back and everything returned to normal.
…
In another unknown location inside the Spirit World, the space suddenly distorted and then shattered like a mirror. Following that, the butterfly and Adam shot out of it.
The butterfly graciously hovered in the air, anwhile, Adam miserably fell head-first onto the ground.
"Ptui!" He hurriedly spat out the mud and dirt he ended up swallowing after the fall. But suddenly, he realized sothing. "Wait a minute! Mud? Ground?"
He looked around and saw that he was no longer floating in the colorful void. Instead, he had arrived in a place that was covered in all sorts of flora and fauna.
When Adam laid his eyes on the various herbs and plants all around him, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"It can't be!"
