Chapter 353 - 353 Paper Emperor

353 Paper Emperor

Even though a long time had passed, Feng Xia could still clearly recall the various details of Zhu Youniang’s spider form.

For example, the body that was as smooth as black jade—the source of the name of the black jade spider.

On the girl’s abdomen, there were a few faint patterns that gradually turned from pale to dark purple. They looked like patterns or some strange markings, exhibiting an inexplicable mysterious beauty.

Once, Zhu Youniang even summoned her spider clone for Feng Xia to touch. It was only then that Feng Xia found out that the abdomen of the black jade spider was actually quite soft.

It felt like touching a girl’s bosom.

Apart from that, there were also the gem-like eyes that left a deep impression on Feng Xia.

“Oh my goodness!”

At this moment, Feng Xia, who was running like the wind, instinctively looked back and immediately felt his stomach churn.

It was too disgusting!

Just the spiders in the swarm of insects were already strange enough. Some had dense eyes, while others had long fur that were like steel wires scraping across the ground, emitting extremely ear-piercing and unpleasant sounds.

There were also many bugs that were suffused with poisonous fog of various colors. Smoke pervaded the air and flames coiled around them. Feng Xia had no doubt that even Primal Core Realm cultivators would instantly die from the poison if they came into contact with it.

From those with 100 feet to those with 1,000 feet, big and small, long and short…

From Feng Xia’s perspective, the space behind him had completely become a terrifying insect hive!

They seemed to have come alive from the ground to the walls and swarmed over, as if they would not stop until they swallowed him!

“That’s not right… Can it be that behind this spiderweb… there’s actually a huge insect hive from the beginning?”

Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in Feng Xia’s mind.

If it was an insect hive, then it was more or less understandable that Zhu Youniang had found this place.

After all, for Zhu Youniang, entering this place might be no different from returning to her hometown!

“But speaking of which… where did Youniang and Qing Lin go? Moreover, this place… is not interesting at all!”

Feng Xia’s thoughts spun wildly.

He tried to contact Zhu Youniang through the spiderweb network, but there was no response.

In all fairness, if he really wanted to fight, it was not as if he could not win.

However…

It was really too disgusting!

When he was in the Ancient Forsaken Land, there were only the black jade spiders. Now, there were at least dozens or even hundreds of types of insects chasing after him!

If he really stepped on them, it was unimaginable.

At this moment, Feng Xia could not help but recall a novel he had read before he transmigrated…

“I remember that in that book, the protagonist suddenly started playing with sh*t. He even turned sh*t into a big trick and disgusted the enemies who were several levels higher…”

The current situation was more or less similar.

The only difference was…

He was the person who felt disgusted.

“As expected, when I return to the Thousand Autumn Valley this time, I must go to the clothing store on that mysterious ancient street and get a few upgraded magical robes. Let’s not talk about other abilities for now. I must have the ability to avoid dust and filth!”

Feng Xia was caught between laughter and tears as he shook his head. Seeing that the swarm of insects was getting closer and closer, he suddenly had a bold idea.

“Since this is an insect hive…”

He stopped abruptly.

Swoosh—

The insect swarm behind did not slow down. They covered the sky and blocked all of Feng Xia’s paths. It was as if they would swallow Feng Xia the next moment.

Feng Xia’s body suddenly melted and his figure squirmed rapidly. In an instant, he turned into a huge spider.

For sure, this was Zhu Youniang’s true form!

It was not only his appearance that changed, but even his aura also changed, becoming no different from a real black jade spider. It was obscure and unfathomable. No matter who came, they would only think that it was definitely a black jade spider that was more than a thousand years old standing there!

In this world, Feng Xia dared to pat his chest and guarantee…

Very few people understood the black jade spider’s body structure better than him!

Swish, swish, swish—

The overwhelming swarm of insects rushed over, but they did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, they treated Feng Xia as one of their own and carried him forward, heading straight for the end of the passageway.

“Fortunately it’s effective! The Mysterious Art of Creation is indeed mysterious and extraordinary. The person who can create such a cultivation technique is definitely… Forget it, I can’t make up anything anymore.”

Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He followed the insects unhurriedly. At the same time, he took this opportunity to carefully observe his surroundings.

Without a doubt.

At this moment, he should be in a certain space in the “grid” of the strange spiderweb. From the surrounding environment, it looked like an ancient ruin. The architectural style was rather rough and wild. Before this, Feng Xia had never seen such an architectural style.

“Can this be one of the heritage sites in the second level of the Demon Imperial Tombs?”

Feng Xia’s gaze quickly swept over. At the same time, he activated the spiderweb network again and again, trying to contact Zhu Youniang.

At a certain moment, his gaze suddenly paused.

Most of the relief carvings and murals on the walls were already broken. After the passage of time, they had become mottled and incomplete. However, at this moment, he saw a familiar figure on them.

Lingyun Emperor Lu Tiancheng!

This was not the dreamland, but reality!

“I can’t be wrong. It’s indeed Brother Lu… But why would the emperor appear on the murals here?”

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Feng Xia’s mind.

The Lingyun Emperor on the murals had a majestic aura. He personally arrived at this place and negotiated with a mysterious expert. In the end, they reached an unknown agreement.

Due to the incompleteness of the wall, Feng Xia could only see this much information.

“If the contents of the murals are true, it means that this ancient site… should be a product of the Lingyun era!”

“That’s right. Although the dream realm is extremely real, it’s ultimately just an illusory country built from Patriarch Chenhai’s memories.”

“Perhaps there’s some real history that even Patriarch Chenhai doesn’t know about.”

Unknowingly, Feng Xia’s heart started to burn with passion.

All this time, he had been walking on the path of becoming stronger and stronger. He was trying to find the truth of the past from the dust of history and uncover the true reason why Patriarch Chenhai was suppressed, and why the spiritual energy of this world was exhausted and heading towards the Dharma-Ending Age.

At this moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
