According to Billy’s understanding, Sky City was a city floating in the starry sky. However, strictly speaking, it still belonged to the same planet where he had lived since childhood. Based on his previous knowledge, a planet should only have one Spiritual Line Origin. How could Purple Spirit say there was another one below?
“Theoretically, a planet indeed has only one Spiritual Line Origin,” Purple Spirit continued, “but there are exceptions.”
“What exceptions?” Billy asked.
“For example, Sky City,” Purple Spirit replied. “Although it belongs to the same planet as Ether Mountain, it has existed independently in the starry sky for tens of thousands of years. After so many years of accumulation, absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, it is not impossible for it to independently nurture a Spiritual Line Origin.”
“Are you sure it’s a Spiritual Line Origin?” Billy asked again.
“Of course!” Purple Spirit said confidently. “Being of the same kind, I can easily sense its presence.”
“Can you sense what level this Spiritual Line Origin is?” Billy asked again. “Has it evolved to the spirit level like you?”
“Of course not!” Purple Spirit pouted. “Do you think all Spiritual Line Origins have my level of talent?”
Billy: “…”
“Billy, don’t worry about what’s above for now. Take me to find it first!” Purple Spirit continued.
“Find it?” Billy was slightly puzzled. “Why?”
“You’ll know when the time comes!” Purple Spirit replied.
“The people from Holy Heaven Sect could appear at any moment. I can’t leave now. Let’s go after dealing with them…” Billy said after a moment of hesitation.
“There might be experts above Otherworldly Realm among the people from Holy Heaven Sect this time. Are you confident you can win?” Purple Spirit asked.
“Uh…” Billy’s mouth twitched. “But I can’t run away…”
“Billy, trust me. After finding it, there might be a miracle,” Purple Spirit interrupted him.
“What miracle?” Billy instinctively asked.
“I’m not entirely sure yet. We’ll know after we find it!” Purple Spirit replied.
“But…”
“No buts. Hurry up, or it will be too late!” Purple Spirit urged.
“Alright then!” Billy thought for a moment and asked, “Can you sense where it is?”
“Yes!” Purple Spirit nodded. “Head straight towards the right front.”
“Okay!” Billy replied and withdrew his consciousness from his mind sea.
He then looked at Jorge Craft and Kian George and said, “Mr Craft, Elder Kian, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon!”
Although he didn’t know why Purple Spirit wanted to find that Spiritual Line Origin, he trusted her judgment. With strong enemies approaching, she wouldn’t act recklessly at such a time.
“Mr Billy, where are you going?” Jorge Craft and Kian George were both puzzled.
Opal and Casey also looked at Billy.
“I’m not sure exactly where yet,” Billy replied. “If the people from Holy Heaven Sect come, stall them for a while. I’ll be back soon!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already a thousand meters away.
Everyone: “…”
“What’s going on? What’s Boss up to?” Stout couldn’t help but shout.
Casey and his group were equally confused.
A few minutes later, Billy arrived alone in the depths of the mist thousands of meters away, where visibility was significantly lower than at the entrance.
“Purple Spirit, where exactly is it?” Billy asked after flying for a while.
“Billy, do you see that cliff ahead?” Purple Spirit’s voice sounded.
“Cliff?” Billy was slightly puzzled.
As he spoke, he looked ahead and saw a cliff several hundred meters away.
“Purple Spirit, do you mean the Spiritual Line Origin is below that cliff?” Billy asked again.
“Yes!” Purple Spirit replied.
Two minutes later, Billy arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
He scanned the surroundings but saw nothing unusual except for trees of varying heights and oddly shaped rocks.
“Purple Spirit, are you sure? There’s nothing here!” Billy couldn’t help but say.
“Billy, do you see that pool ahead?” Purple Spirit responded.
“Pool?” Billy looked around.
He saw a medium-sized pool near some large rocks not far away, with wisps of cold air rising from its surface.
“The Spiritual Line Origin is in the pool?”
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power to sense it but found nothing unusual.
“It should be,” Purple Spirit nodded. “Billy, go check inside the pool!”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Billy asked again. “It looks like an ordinary pool; I didn’t sense anything!”
“Your cultivation is too low. If the Spiritual Line Origin intentionally hides, it’s hard for you to detect it,” Purple Spirit replied. “Back in Ether Mountain’s depths, didn’t you fail to sense my presence?”
Billy: “…”
Could she be more tactful?
“Alright then, let’s check it out!”
Billy said and then conjured a barrier around himself before entering the pool.
As soon as he entered, Billy couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Even with the barrier protecting him, he could feel the cold emanating from the water.
The pool was deep; Billy descended over a hundred meters and still hadn’t reached the bottom.
“Hmm?!”
After descending for a while longer, an extremely surprised expression appeared on Billy’s face.
Suddenly, everything around him changed in an instant. He found himself no longer in the pool but in a completely unfamiliar space.
This was a mist-filled space, eerily silent with dim light. Apart from the mist, there was nothing in sight.
Billy frowned slightly and released his spiritual power to investigate.
However, his spiritual power was severely obstructed in this space and could only cover about a kilometer radius.
Within that kilometer radius, there was nothing but what he could already see-mist and emptiness!
“Purple Spirit, do you know where this place is?” Billy asked.
“I don’t know either,” Purple Spirit replied. “But I’m sure that the Spiritual Line Origin is in this space!”
“Are you sure?” Billy asked again.
“Yes!” Purple Spirit confirmed. “Although it’s hiding very well and ordinary beings can’t sense it, it can’t hide from me!”
After a slight pause, she added, “Billy, head towards the left front.”
