104: Attacked

After leaving Blackwater Valley, Wei Xun and Si Niang traveled north for several days, covering roughly half the journey without encountering any trouble.

Even when they occasionally met a few shapeshifting Yao Beasts, they were all minor, unestablished rogue Yao Beasts, and no conflicts erupted.

At this point, Wei Xun, having walked into a Forest, felt a bit tired, so he prepared to find a place to sit and rest for a while, and eat some dried meat he had grilled a few days prior.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll reach Lingtao Mountain in another four or five days!" Wei Xun placed his drawn map on the ground and estimated the distance.

Si Niang used to swallow her food whole, but after being with Wei Xun for a long time, she had learned to chew slowly.

She now slowly chewed a small piece of dried meat held in her hand.

"Big Brother, I feel like I'm about to Breakthrough to the second Realm!" Si Niang said while eating.

"Is that so!" Wei Xun immediately brightened upon hearing this: "Then let's slow down our travel recently, and you can Cultivate more, striving to help you Breakthrough sooner."

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Si Niang nodded with a smile.

But just then, Wei Xun's originally cheerful face suddenly stiffened; he seemed to sense something and immediately sprang up from the ground.

At the same time, a barely perceptible white light grazed past Wei Xun's neck.

"What was that?" Wei Xun felt something was off, summoned his long spear with his right hand, and stared intently in the direction the white light had come from.

Si Niang also pulled out her Cold Gold Sword and became alert.

However, after the sudden ambush, the entire Forest was calm and quiet; no sound could be heard.

Even when Wei Xun used his Shunfeng Miaoe (Wind-Following Marvelous Ear) to perceive his surroundings, he didn't hear any noticeable movement.

"What's wrong, Big Brother?" Si Niang hadn't sensed anything, but seeing Wei Xun suddenly become tense, she also grew vigilant.

"Be careful! There's something in the Forest!"

Wei Xun was about to warn Si Niang to be careful, but the next second, a faint white light suddenly attacked from behind Si Niang.

Si Niang, unaware, was struck in the back of her neck by the white light, then suddenly lost consciousness and was about to fall to the ground.

Wei Xun, quick as lightning, immediately stepped forward and embraced Si Niang, preventing her from falling.

"Si Niang, are you alright!"

Wei Xun gently patted Si Niang's face, but there was no response.

At the same time, another identical white light shot from a different direction.

Seeing this, Wei Xun immediately hugged Si Niang, wanting to escape.

But as soon as he stood up, he found his feet seemed to be entangled by something, making him completely unable to move.

It's okay, I have a protective Magic Treasure.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge the white light's attack, Wei Xun could only comfort himself, then simply stopped trying to dodge, instead wanting to break free from whatever was entangling his legs.

Looking down, he found that his feet were entangled by several imperceptible white threads.

Before Wei Xun could even try to break free, the white light that shot towards him did not trigger the protective effect of his Heart-Protecting Shield, directly striking his neck.

Immediately after, Wei Xun's body stiffened, and he too fell into a coma.

When Wei Xun regained consciousness, he found himself above a sea of clouds, with a magnificent Cloud Top Heavenly Palace not far away.

"What's going on!" Wei Xun was completely surprised.

Just as he was bewildered, two beautiful Immortal Maidens, radiating Immortal Qi, floated towards him.

"Congratulations, Immortal, on Undergoing Tribulation and Immortal Ascension! We have come specifically to escort you to meet the Heavenly Emperor!"

Hearing this, Wei Xun became even more confused.

Undergoing Tribulation and Immortal Ascension? Heavenly Emperor?

Thinking of this, Wei Xun immediately closed his eyes to check the progress bar in his mind, and was startled to find that the progress bar had actually become [Heavenly Immortal Realm: 1 / 100000000000].

"What's the situation?"

Wei Xun only felt dizzy and muddled as he was led into the Heavenly Palace by the two Immortal Maidens.

At this moment, within the palace of the Heavenly Palace, countless Immortal Maidens were dancing gracefully.

And on the highest golden throne in the palace sat a long-bearded old man in golden Immortal robes, who should be the Heavenly Emperor the Immortal Maidens had just mentioned.

"Wei Xun, congratulations on your Immortal Ascension!" The old man laughed heartily to Wei Xun: "Let me let you fully experience the bliss of the Immortal Realm!"

As soon as the Heavenly Emperor spoke, the Immortal Maidens who were originally dancing gracefully swarmed towards Wei Xun.

They surrounded Wei Xun, each with a charming voice and graceful figure.

Wei Xun was dazzled by the sight.

"No, no!" Wei Xun shook his head desperately; everything before his eyes was too illusory.

Am I dreaming?

A thought suddenly occurred to Wei Xun, and he reached out and pinched his thigh hard.

Hiss~

The sharp pain suddenly woke Wei Xun, and opening his eyes, it was indeed a dream.

He was no longer in any Heavenly Palace, but was tied to a giant spider web.

Not only that, he was wrapped tightly by the spider web like a zongzi, with only his head left exposed.

Turning his head to the side, Wei Xun found that there were quite a few Yao Beasts caught like him nearby.

Each of them had the same appearance as him.

However, they were still in a deep sleep, and only he was conscious at this moment.

The giant spider web spread continuously throughout the entire Forest, almost covering it.

And the Forest was a vast expanse of white, shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was in the distance.

"Si Niang!" Wei Xun suddenly remembered something and immediately turned his head to look around, but he couldn't find Si Niang's shadow.

This made Wei Xun feel very anxious.

"No matter who you are, get out here!" Wei Xun immediately roared at his surroundings.

The sound instantly echoed throughout the Forest, and a moment later, the Forest began to tremble slightly.

Then Wei Xun saw a dark shadow approaching in the white mist not far away.

When the dark shadow drew closer, Wei Xun saw clearly that it was a huge black spider.

It was as large as a pickup truck, with two rows of gleaming black eyes that looked very eerie.

"What is this thing?" Wei Xun was dumbfounded with surprise when he saw this large spider.

A Yao Beast? Wei Xun couldn't quite understand.

Even if it was a Yao Beast, Wei Xun had never seen such a large spider.

Because generally speaking, Yao Beasts would only be a few times larger than their original size.

But this spider's size was definitely not normal!

"You woke up quite quickly!"

Just as Wei Xun was surprised, the giant spider actually spoke, and it was the voice of a mature woman.

Then, in the next second, the spider suddenly emitted white light all over its body, and when the light disappeared, it had transformed into a scantily clad middle-aged woman.

Although the woman was wearing clothes, very little fabric was used, almost as if only two pieces of cloth were attached to her front and back.

"So it's a Yao Beast!"

Wei Xun realized this after seeing the woman.

"What a thing to say!" The middle-aged woman gave an evil, charming smile: "Aren't you also a Yao Beast?"
