603: passive

The Manifestation Space is very mysterious; it is a space unique to every expert in the Dao Source Realm, and it is difficult for outsiders to set foot within it.

But when the Phoenix Lord sensed something was wrong and was trapped by the misty tentacles, Li Qi quickly sensed the anomaly as well!

He took decisive action, his consciousness invading the Phoenix Lord's body and arriving at that same Consciousness Space... and he saw what was happening.

The Phoenix Lord was actually entangled by that strange mist!

Unable to break free for the moment, the Phoenix Lord was just about to sever her own arm to escape!

How could this be allowed?

Although this was the Phoenix Lord's consciousness form and not her true physical body, injuries to the consciousness form were much harder to recover from than physical ones.

How could Li Qi allow such a thing to happen? He immediately took decisive action.

The misty tentacles were crushed by Li Qi, the Phoenix Lord was freed, and the consciousness of both returned to their respective bodies.

"Li Qi, was it you who just saved me?"

"Of course."

The Phoenix Lord was shocked: "How is that possible? You can actually enter my Manifestation Space?"

Li Qi nodded. With his current strength and foundation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a low-end version of the Great Dao. Even hand-crafting a dao traces divine stone was possible for him, so entering someone else's Manifestation Space was not a difficult task.

The recent experience also made Li Qi feel that things were becoming troublesome. He hadn't expected the mutation to spread so quickly; even the Divine Firmament World, far across the starry sky, was facing the same situation, and even those closest to him were no exception.

"Shi Qiao, do not enter the Manifestation Space at will anymore."

"If this situation happens again... I might not be able to arrive in time."

What had just happened left the Phoenix Lord with lingering fears, and she quickly nodded: "Don't worry, husband, I will be careful."

After giving a few instructions, Li Qi began to recall what had just happened, and a trace of doubt couldn't help but appear on his face.

For some reason, that strange mist from before... actually gave Li Qi a very familiar feeling.

It didn't seem like the first time he had seen it.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Li Qi frowned slightly. After some thought with no clues, he could only set it aside.

A problem had appeared with the Phoenix Lord's Dao Manifestation Object. Li Qi checked his own dao ancient book as well, but everything was peaceful there, with no strange mist appearing.

Speaking of which, Li Qi's Dao Manifestation Object was unique because his dao ancient book had manifested twice in total, making it unique across All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this... that those strange mists did not appear.

But other experts in the Dao Source Realm and Dao Ancestors were not so lucky. They were all tainted by this strange mist, making it impossible for them to continue comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos, and even entering the Manifestation Space could be dangerous.

There were several Dao Source Realm experts in the Divine Firmament World... and the Sect Revered Master of the Immortal Martial God Sect, Xiao Ruochen, was one of them!

Li Qi's heart tightened, and he instantly appeared before Xiao Ruochen. Fortunately, Xiao Ruochen was not in secluded cultivation at that moment, nor was he in his Manifestation Space; instead, he was leafing through an ancient book.

"Li Qi? What's wrong?"

Seeing Li Qi suddenly appear before him, Xiao Ruochen also felt some confusion and asked.

Li Qi took a deep breath: "Revered Master, you didn't enter the Manifestation Space just now, did you?"

"No, is something the matter?"

Li Qi immediately told Xiao Ruochen about the changes. Xiao Ruochen was shocked and stood up abruptly.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

"I would never joke about this!"

Xiao Ruochen paced back and forth, shaking his head repeatedly, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"I finally managed to Breakthrough to the Dao Source Realm with great difficulty, and my greatest dream is to become a Dao Ancestor..."

"Now look at this—I can't even comprehend my own Dao Manifestation Object anymore... Fate truly toys with people."

Li Qi followed up by saying: "Revered Master, do not worry. It is only that you cannot enter the Manifestation Space, which is fine."

"My Hundred-Page Golden Book contains the ready-made Three Thousand Great Daos; comprehending the Golden Book will be enough."

Xiao Ruochen said helplessly: "Fine, fine... it can only be so."

"Don't worry, I won't enter the Manifestation Space."

After clearing things up, Xiao Ruochen hurriedly contacted several of his Dao Source Realm friends to inform them of the situation.

Li Qi returned to the Langyuan Palace. The Phoenix Lord and Li Si Rong both hurried over, looking at Li Qi with concern.

Li Qi gave them a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, it's fine. I've arranged everything properly."

Not only on Xiao Ruochen's side, but even in the Source Realm, Li Qi used his status to inform Saint King Qing Shang and the others, telling them not to enter the Manifestation Space to avoid any accidents.

After finishing all this, a sense of annoyance and frustration welled up in Li Qi's heart for no reason.

He felt that he was still too passive, as if he were being led by the nose.

Furthermore, the current situation was becoming increasingly urgent; Li Qi could feel that time was running out for him.

"Forget it, I'll continue to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos..."

"I'm about to finish learning them."

After settling the Phoenix Lord and Li Si Rong, Li Qi turned and walked into the Secret Chamber..."
