Once again at sea!
The place Ji Xiuning pointed out was familiar to Lanling, it was even quite a prominent spot.
This place is twelve thousand miles from the Fallen Lands and over seventeen thousand miles from Fla Demon City.
Secret laboratories like those of the Dragon Temple and places like Heaven Tomb are generally extrely hidden, with no visible features from the outside.
But the place Ji Xiuning pointed out is relatively well-known, at least within the Fla Demon Empire, where it’s rather mysterious. The fleet of the Fla Demon Empire even nad it Devil’s Throat.
While other parts of this sea are calm, this particular spot has an incomparably large and terrifying vortex. Any life form that enters vanishes forever.
Over ti, the huge vortex known as Devil’s Throat beca a Death Forbidden Zone. Any ship passing by must take a wide detour.
Of course, this sea area is too far from land, so very few ships pass by. But after the fleet of Fla Demon Empire was established, they’ve made several long voyages, detouring around Devil’s Throat multiple tis.
And if Ji Xiuning guessed correctly, this place is the abandoned Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple.
So the huge vortex hailed as the Death Forbidden Zone wasn’t naturally occurring; the spatial anomaly was caused by an accident in the Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple.
Lanling said, "I rember it’s a huge vortex, any life form approaching would disappear. Are you trying to kill ?"
Ji Xiuning looked at Lanling and said, "Evil people live a thousand years!"
"Alright, if we assu it’s the abandoned Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple, how should I enter it?" Lanling asked.
"I don’t know," Ji Xiuning said, "Maybe plunging directly into the vortex will work."
Lanling said, "You are indeed trying to kill ."
Ji Xiuning said, "It’s just my personal opinion. I feel that there was so kind of accident in the abandoned laboratory of the Dragon Temple, causing a spatial collapse within, creating a huge vortex. Thus, jumping into the vortex might allow access to the abandoned laboratory, but... there’s no coming back."
"After the Space Laboratory was abandoned, did any priests from the Dragon Temple enter?" Lanling asked.
"Don’t know..." Ji Xiuning said, "But I think they probably did; just never ca back."
Lanling said, "Do you think I should go?"
"Should you go, ask yourself. Why ask ?" Ji Xiuning said.
Lanling said, "You’re the child’s mother, I’m the child’s father, I obviously have to ask. Because entering might an never coming back."
Ji Xiuning said, "Lanling, relationships between people aren’t determined like this. If one decides to beco a saint, then continue to cut off seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. Of course, this is difficult, especially since my body is filled with Demon Bloodline. But beyond that transcendent realm, in the mundane realm of n and won, the intimacy between two people isn’t determined by physical relations or having a child together. It’s about spiritual connection, the weight of one in the other’s soul."
"You’re soone who is both sentintal and dispassionate, Yan Nai’er holds a significant place in your heart, perhaps Zhi Yan does too, and certainly Suo Ningbing. Beyond them, it’s negligible!" Ji Xiuning said, "As for ? After you opened my mind to get all the secrets of the Dragon Temple, and wait for to deliver this child, I beco light as a feather in your soul. Should I encounter danger like with Di Nie, you wouldn’t save ."
Lanling said, "It’s just a joke, why take it so seriously?"
Ji Xiuning said, "I’m not good at joking, you can joke with , but be prepared for my serious response. It’s precisely because I’m light as a feather in your heart that you can easily and joyfully engage in equal communication with . In so respect, this is a good thing!"
Lanling looked at Ji Xiuning’s beautiful face and said, "Do you know which kind of woman is the least adorable? The kind that sees through everything; not adorable at all."
Ji Xiuning sighed and said, "Had I not been hunted by the Dragon Temple or slept with you, I could forever be an exceptional person beyond gender. Now... perhaps there’s no chance anymore."
Lanling shrugged noncommittally, then looked earnestly into Ji Xiuning’s beautiful eyes and said, "You said that entering Devil’s Throat would allow access to that abandoned space laboratory, and I could obtain the aerial scroll inside. If you lied, I’d have no burial ground, I’d vanish into dust. But I choose to trust you and I’m willing to take this risk, I’ll jump into this gigantic vortex of Devil’s Throat."
"Very touching..." Ji Xiuning said, "But I didn’t say the latter part, it’s all your own imagination."
This woman really has no sense of humor.
Lanling looked at Ji Xiuning for a while and said, "Goodbye..."
Then he walked out.
...
Wearing the starry armor modified by Misfortune Goddess Shui Hongshao, Lanling once again rode on the three-headed Chira Beast and flew towards the gigantic vortex of Devil’s Throat, over ten thousand miles away.
As he left, he originally had so words to instruct.
But after hesitating slightly, he said nothing and left directly. Because once he instructed, it felt like he’d never co back.
This gigantic vortex called Devil’s Throat is seventeen thousand miles from Fla Demon City!
About six hours later, Lanling arrived at that place.
Lanling had never been here, but the fleet of the Fla Demon Empire and the Sky Legion responsible for exploration had been here twice. Lanling had seen reports about this gigantic vortex of Devil’s Throat, and had even seen a very realistic sketch.
But seeing it in person was still quite shocking.
This is indeed an incomparably large vortex, probably directly over a thousand ters wide, with no visible bottom.
The vortex is funnel-shaped, wide at the top, narrow at the bottom.
The inside of the vortex is a void, seemingly nothing, just like a gigantic black hole.
No wonder it’s called Devil’s Throat, as it really seems capable of swallowing all life and all matter.
If Ji Xiuning intended to kill Lanling, then she’s already succeeded ninety percent.
She just had to ntion this location, and Lanling would jump down, whether it’s an abyss or a black hole he would jump down.
Because it’s the only way to save Di Nie.
Lanling is a madman, one who almost doesn’t cherish his own life, one who doesn’t care even if the flood follows his death.
So if Ji Xiuning had even a hint of wanting to kill Lanling, she’s almost succeeded.
Over the years, many people and objects have entered this gigantic vortex of Devil’s Throat.
And... no one has ever returned!
Once jumping in, it might an vanishing into nothingness, or entering the abandoned laboratory.
This is sothing no one knows, no one can be certain.
The chance of vanishing is probably eighty percent, ten percent of entering the abandoned laboratory, and what the remaining twenty percent might be, only heaven knows.
Looking at this terrifying vortex below, like a black hole leading to another world, like a devil’s throat.
Lanling took a deep breath and hesitated for three seconds.
"Whoosh..." He jumped straight down, headed into this gigantic vortex of Devil’s Throat.
Suddenly, the three-headed Chira Beast in the air shuddered violently.
Far away and thousands of miles away, Ji Xiuning’s body also trembled fiercely.
The three-headed Chira Beast watched Lanling suddenly disappear.
At the sa ti, including Gou Li, all death samurai instantly stiffened, standing motionless.
Life vanished, intentions vanished, even their gaze scattered directly.
Including the confidant of Princess Na Xue, Emperor Di Ming!
Only a second later, all the death samurai revived, including Emperor Di Ming. He seed thoughtful but said nothing.
...
After Lanling jumped into this vortex of Devil’s Throat, he almost imdiately vanished into nothingness.
Everything disappeared.
The body disappeared, all sensations and energy disappeared.
A second passed, or perhaps an eternity!
All perceptions returned!
It was like traversing space and ti, like a spaceship in a movie crossing a wormhole.
Lanling opened his eyes again and was already inside a very strange space!
A world of strange lights, a twisted spatial world.
Here, everything doesn’t comply with real spatial geotry.
Space here continuously flows and changes.
The sensation is like seeing a distorted mirror reflection, everything is in flux.
From the twisted and fluctuating images, Lanling identified it.
This is a laboratory!
Indeed, Lanling bet on that one percent possibility correctly.
Of course, it might look like one percent but actually be one hundred percent.
He entered the abandoned Space Laboratory of the Dragon Temple!
