Chapter 618: Final Adjustments
The time in the flower zone was longer than any of the other areas they had encountered so far. Although it was, so far, the one where they encountered the least danger, it was still necessary for them to readjust to their current conditions.
Bai Tianyi had awoken, but his mind was not as clear as it had been before. He felt as if he had woken up after a long sleep, and his mind was slowly clearing itself. Although the process took time, it was much better than Luoluo"s initial expectations.
The two who had the hardest time adjusting to their current conditions were Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi. While Bai Tianyi was slowly clearing his mind, Xue Wei was trying to get familiar with his currently weaker senses.
The lack of spiritual energy had not completely removed his abilities to sense his surroundings, but it had lessened by at least seventy percent, and this was making him feel extra worried as he did not know what influence it might have.
At the same time, he also knew that his abilities to create various pills and inscriptions were gone, but this was not that big of a worry, as he had no intention of crafting other things while being in No Man"s Land.
During the two days where Bai Tianyi got sober again, Xue Wei also managed to adjust completely, and he was once more able to fully exert his strength in a battle.
As for whether or not he was planning on recultivating his spiritual energy, Xue Wei was not in a hurry to decide, as he had many other pressing matters that needed to be solved before he could slow down.
"Nothing at all has happened while we have rested here?" Xue Wei could not help but frown as he asked Hei Gou and Ling Xiao about the details during their break.
Although he was relieved that their rest had not been interrupted during their break, he still felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
From their experiences at the previous zones, he knew that the area would suddenly erupt in intense danger, and that when this happened, their ability to respond was what determined their survival.
So far, the only thing they had encountered was the flowers that caused problems, but these flowers did not seem to be actively attacking them. Could the dangers in this zone truly be this simple?
Xue Wei looked around and narrowed his eyes. He had an uncomfortable feeling of being observed, but he did not know why he would feel like this.
This sensation had come after he finished adjusting to his current condition, and was not there before, when his spiritual sense was much more sensitive, so he did not know if he should believe in this strange nagging feeling, or simply place it aside.
He glanced at Luoluo and Bai Tianyi, the ones with the strongest spiritual sense in their group, but neither of them seemed to have noticed anything.
"The flowers has bloomed twice during the time you have been cultivating. When the petals open up, the sickening feeling of comfort and perfume will increase. It feels as if their scent is trying to influence our feelings and lure us into an illusion, but when the petals close up again, the scent will lower slightly, and we can keep our minds clear."
Hei Gou was frowning as he spoke. He and Ling Xiao had been fully focused on every change in their surroundings while the trio had been focused on getting better, so such details were naturally noticed.
There had been nothing else happening, only the increase and decrease in the sickening scent and the petals opening and closing. Even the gentle breeze had turned very stable, without any increase or decrease in the strength of the gusts.
The entire world was too perfect, and the peace they had now seemed too unreal, so while they were not under attack, for now, they could not help but feel uncomfortable and vigilant.
Xue Wei nodded his head as he looked at Luoluo and Bai Tianyi.
"When the flowers bloom, do you feel anything?" Although Bai Tianyi had only just gotten sober, he could still remember every sensation he had experienced since trying to absorb the energy of the flower. Even the corruption was painfully clear to him, and he had witnessed how Xue Wei"s energy had forced the corruption away and purified his core.
Although he was not a person of many words, he was truly grateful to Xue Wei for the sacrifice he had made.
Although it was Xue Wei who had asked him to try and absorb the energy, there was no blame in his heart. They were at No Man"s Land in a group, and none of them had any knowledge of what these flowers would do.
Xue Wei had been the first to absorb the flowers" energy, and he had been fine, so it was only natural for him or Luoluo to try their hands at the energy.
The roads of cultivation was a constant battle for survival. To become a deity, one would have to experience numerous tribulations and experiences, and not even one percent of those who set out on such a journey to become strong would succeed.
Bai Tianyi and the others were very well aware of this. They knew that their chances for survival were low, but this was not news to them. Since they had already stepped onto this path, they had to face the consequences of their actions.
