Jiang Yi woke up from a dazzled state. The instant he regained his consciousness, he didn’t move or even open up his eyes. He remained motionless for a moment as he waited for himself to turn fully sober before falling into contemplation.
First of all, he didn’t die.
Not dying was the best situation for him regardless of what plight he was currently in. As long as he didn’t die, there would still be hope for him; and as long as there was hope, he wouldn’t give up.
He had suffered a major setback due to carelessness!
He was rendered unconscious because he looked down on all the experts in this continent and was overconfident with his own strength, making him complacent. It caused him to fall into this predicament. At this moment, he had learned from his lesson and would grow prudent in his actions.


He also understood an old saying: ‘Even the lion will use all of its strength to hunt a rabbit.’ In any situation, he must not underestimate the enemy. Otherwise, this would be the consequence.
After calming down, he started to scan his own body. After he finished scanning, he could only smile bitterly. His whole body was bound up several ice-cold iron chains, making him look like a meat dumpling. He also realized that his essence force could not be circulated. Clearly, there was something strange about these iron chains and had similar effects to the ancient vines Tao Fei had used to bind him.
He didn’t move or even show any signs that he had awakened and only used his ears to listen to the movements in the surroundings. After confirming there was no one else around, he still didn’t open up his eyes but released his divine senses quietly as he checked out the situation around him.
Ss, ss…
As his divine senses extended out, an acute pain could be felt in his soul spirit, causing his entire body to convulse in intense pain while his facial muscles had also turned completely distorted.
The Fire Spirit Pearl didn’t send any mysterious energy to heal his soul spirit. Therefore, he suffered for 15 minutes before he recuperated. His body was covered in cold sweat, and his back was completely drenched.
Just now, he was forcefully enduring the pain and stopping himself from screaming out. That kind of pain was extremely excruciating, causing him to almost faint again. He inhaled a deep breath twice and forced himself to calm down. At the same moment, he opened up his eyes.
He was trapped inside a small room with nothing around him. The room was pitch-black, he was bound by the iron chain on the wall, and the exit was shut with no guards keeping an eye on the area.

Fire Spirit Pearl! Ancient divine essence ring!

Jiang Yi scanned his sleeve quietly and actually realized that the Fire Spirit Pearl and ancient divine essence ring he hid inside his sleeve were gone. Finally, an expression of panic appeared on his face. Without the Fire Spirit Pearl, he would no longer have the Netherworld Ghost Flames and lose his strongest attack method.


Most importantly… the Thearch Palace was inside the Fire Spirit Pearl!
Since he couldn’t use his divine senses to scout around, he reckoned that he wouldn’t be able to release his Massacre Intent as well. The Massacre Intent needed to use the strength of the soul spirit, and these iron chains had sealed his essence force. In other words… the current him had really became crippled and couldn’t do anything.

Massacre Intent!

He clenched his teeth and prepared to release the Massacre Intent. Just as he had expected—the moment he released it, his brain had as if been struck by lightning as excruciating pain hit his body while he spasmed. This time, he didn’t endure it but groaned painfully as his voice reverberated in the whole room unceasingly.

What kind of goddamn shackles is this? How is it able to not only seal my essence force but also seal my soul spirit’s power?

After gasping for his breath, Jiang Yi turned his head to look at the small iron chains that bound him like a meat dumpling and whined. A moment ago—when he was preparing to circulate his Massacre Intent, he was able to sense some odd energy entering his soul spirit rapidly from the iron chains. Thus, causing his soul spirit to be injured.

Calm down, calm down!

Jiang Yi swung his head, causing the cold sweat on his forehead to be flung away. The current him could no longer panic or make any more noises. Otherwise, if he were to alarm Region Mistress Qing Yu’s men, he would no longer have any time to think of a solution to save himself.
At this point, he no longer dared to imagine the dangers Jiang Xiaonu, Zhan Wushuang, and the others would be facing. Once he thought about it, his heart would turn chaotic; and his situation would become even worse.

Massacre Intent and essence force couldn’t be circulated, and the Fire Spirit Pearl is gone. Without essence force, I wouldn’t be able to circulate the Heaven Extinguishing Inferno sorcery arts and couldn’t be able to release the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. What other methods do I still have to save myself?



Jiang Yi pondered carefully for a while and realized that he could not execute any of his abilities, and he would never be able to struggle free from the iron chains. He had become a caged beast and could only wait for Region Mistress Qing Yu to deal with him.

No! I mustn’t give up! Xiaonu and the others are still within the Thearch Palace. Although I have yet to die, Region Mistress Qing Yu would never be able to fully refine the Fire Spirit Pearl and the Thearch Palace in a short span of time. However, if this were to drag on, problems will certainly arise. Think of an idea, think. I must think of an idea to get out!

Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and groaned a few times before shutting his eyes as he forced himself to rest in order to let his heart calm down. Only in a placid state would he be able to think of an idea to get out as there was no way to come up with an idea in a confused state.
After resting for 15 minutes, Jiang Yi regained his composure. He started to sort out all of his abilities quickly and see if there were any abilities that could help him to struggle free from this predicament.
The time ticked by while Jiang Yi kept on overruling the thoughts within him. After 30 minutes, his eyes brightened up. He finally thought of a weird idea.
He was chased after by the Lion Chi Demon Thearch in the desolated East Sea, forcing him to enter the thunderous sea. When he entered the thunderous sea, he went into an extremely bizarre state. During that moment, it was as if he had become one with heaven and earth. He was able to sense everything that was happening around him.
That state might seem similar to using his divine senses as it was able to scan his surroundings, but the concept behind them was entirely different. The divine senses were just an ability while the former was an extremely weird state.
He couldn’t use his soul spirit’s energy. If he could enter into that state and scan his surroundings, which might allow him to find a way and save himself!
However—!
How was he going to enter into that state?


Jiang Yi had no understanding of that state and had no idea how to enter it. He was like a lost kid who had accidentally found a treasure vault within a maze. This was a stroke of heavenly-defying luck. Even if someone got him to recklessly roam around the maze again, he might not be able to locate this treasure vault ever once more.
Jiang Yi shut his eyes again and allowed his heart to enter into its most peaceful state. Simultaneously, he started to recall what happened that day. He told himself to forget the situation he was currently in and submerged all his concentration into the memories of what happened that day.
One had to admit!
Jiang Yi’s heart was truly too formidable. He was currently facing a crisis and was not able to use any of his ability. All of his treasures had been stolen away while Jiang Xiaonu and the other’s survival were unknown. Under such circumstances, he was actually able to forget all of them and even where he was. His mind had completely submerged itself into the day when he was at the thunderous sea.
Black clouds covered the sky while thunder dragons roared. The gale was devastating with a heavy downpour, and the sea waves were surging with rage!
All of a sudden, he had returned to the thunderous sea. All of his spirit and consciousness were attracted by that mystical scene once again as he entered into a zen state.
Buzz!
His entire body shone in radiance as he entered into that miraculous state again. At this moment, he was able to feel he had become one with heaven and earth. He was even able to sense that he was one with this palace. He was like heaven and earth, and heaven and earth was him. Meanwhile, there were a lot of images flashing in his mind.
This wasn’t the divine senses… but a kind of bizarre state. The chains did not have any unusual changes, and his soul spirit wasn’t attacked. Clearly, this state was very different from the divine senses.
The divine senses were an ability while this state was a kind of abnormal yet miraculous existence among heaven and earth.


He did not have to use his eyes to see or his divine senses to probe around, but he was able to feel the whole palace. He was able to sense there were two guards standing outside the door silently and could sense there were countless people outside of this loft. He was able to sense the moonlight, starlight, the gentle breeze, and the ripple of the lake. He was also able to smell the fragrance of apricot flowers from the apricot flower forest.
At this moment, it was as if his body had disappeared from heaven and earth while he had fused together with the Apricot Garden. He could be a wisp of wind, a piece of brick from the palace, or even the fish from the lake.
