Three hours later.
Wang Feng's body trembled slightly, and the space in the room seemed to be twisted by an invisible force for an instant, but it quickly returned to calm.
He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed in them, and then he sighed softly:
"What a pity. If I had one more mind stone, I could break through to the next major realm."
Just then, a charming and alluring voice suddenly entered his ears:
"Congratulations, Wang, on another step forward in strength~"
Wang Feng frowned slightly and looked up.
A graceful and ethereal soul figure quietly appeared, it was Nine Nether Queen.
"Why are you here?"
Nine Nether Queen chuckled softly, her voice as melodious as silver bells:
"This concubine is here to convey Wang's words~ Didn't Wang say that after this concubine returned to Calamity Abyss, she should greet Ancient King on his behalf?"
Upon hearing Nine Nether Queen's words, Wang Feng's forehead immediately became covered in black lines, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead, saying:
"Speak human!"
Nine Nether Queen chuckled softly, put away her playful smile, and her expression became serious:
"This concubine has a request for Wang~"
"Oh? What is it?" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at her curiously.
Nine Nether Queen bowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of plea: "This concubine is but one step away from Supreme Monarch, I humbly request Wang to bestow a essence."
"Essence…?" Wang Feng was stunned upon hearing this, and asked somewhat confusedly: "How do I get this? You can't possibly possess a girl and then take it yourself, can you?"
Upon hearing this, a glint suddenly flashed in Nine Nether Queen's beautiful eyes.
As if she had discovered a new continent, she murmured in a low voice: "So there's this method too?"
"Hey, hey!" Seeing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but raise his voice: "Don't mess around!"
Nine Nether Queen came back to her senses, covering her mouth with a light chuckle: "Wang, rest assured, this concubine will not mess around. Actually, it doesn't need to be that troublesome, as long as Wang allows this concubine to approach you, it will suffice."
Wang Feng frowned, but thinking that if Nine Nether Queen could advance to Supreme Monarch, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.
He nodded: "Alright!"
"Thank you for Wang's grace~"
Nine Nether Queen smiled charmingly, gave a graceful bow towards Wang Feng, and then floated in front of him.
Her movements were light and elegant, like a silent breeze.
Immediately after, her hands wrapped around Wang Feng's neck, and under Wang Feng's shocked gaze, her crimson lips gently pressed against his.
Although Nine Nether Queen was a ghost and had no physical body, her kiss made Wang Feng feel a touch of coolness, as if an invisible force was being transmitted from her lips.
Immediately after, Wang Feng felt his essence, energy, and spirit being slowly drawn away, and his body gradually developed a sense of fatigue.
After about thirty seconds, Nine Nether Queen gently left Wang Feng's embrace.
She licked her crimson lips, a satisfied gleam flashing in her eyes, and softly said: "Thank you for the treat~"
"Hurry up and leave, there are many big shots in Imperial Capital, be careful not to be captured!" Wang Feng waved his hand and said.
"As you command~" Nine Nether Queen bowed gracefully, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something, turned around again, and said: "Wang~ You seem to have the Summoning, right?"
"Yes, why? Are you already thinking about me after I die?" Wang Feng glanced at Nine Nether Queen.
After a Summoning Mage dies, he can indeed transform himself into an undead.
The higher the cultivation, the more complete the memories preserved during the transformation.
"I wouldn't dare, this concubine suddenly remembered a scroll left by the former King, it's about the connection between the undead space and Calamity Abyss."
Nine Nether Queen smiled faintly, her tone respectful: "This concubine's main purpose in coming this time is to give this scroll to Wang~"
As she spoke, she pulled out a jade slip from who knows where and respectfully handed it to Wang Feng with both hands.
Wang Feng raised an eyebrow, took the jade slip, and felt a bit curious. He poured his spiritual power into the jade slip and quickly read the information within.
"It can actually bind the undead space and Calamity Abyss!" A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Feng's eyes, and his heart was greatly shaken.
Summoning and Summoning are very similar, whether at the Initial Level, Intermediate Level, or Advanced Level, the forms are almost the same.
At the Initial Level, Summoning can summon temporary undead, while Summoning summons dimensional beasts.
At the Intermediate Level, both have storage space and can contract and cultivate exclusive undead/contracted beasts.
At the Advanced Level, they can even summon undead tides/beast tides.
Currently, Wang Feng's Summoning is at the Intermediate Level, and the undead space has already been opened.
However, because the appearance of the undead really did not conform to his aesthetics, and he possessed a powerful contracted beast like the Azure Dragon, he had never bothered to cultivate undead.
Unexpectedly, Nine Nether Queen brought him such a big surprise today!
Once the undead space is successfully bound to Calamity Abyss, it means he will carry a Calamity Abyss with him!
Carrying an undead empire with him?
Isn't this just like the Dragon King Ant Mother!
Thinking of this, Wang Feng's heart couldn't help but beat a few times faster, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Then, this concubine shall take her leave first~"
After Nine Nether Queen finished speaking, her figure flickered and she disappeared from in front of Wang Feng.
"Very good, now I am even more confident in my trip to tianshan!"
...
Two days passed in a flash, and the National Government Team roster was officially finalized.
Captain: Wang Feng
Vice-Captain: Ai Jiangtu
Official Members: Mu Ningjiao, Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, Nan Rongni, Zu Jiming
Substitute Members: Zhao Manyan, Mu Tingying
...
Logically speaking, Mu Tingying should not have appeared on this list.
After all, she had openly questioned Wang Feng in the Imperial Capital Institute's Fighting Arena, and the Mu Tingying branch was the main force suppressing the Mu Ningxue branch.
However, among the younger generation of the Mu Clan main family, there was no other suitable candidate who could replace Mu Tingying.
The National Mansion Competition is a grand event to promote family prestige, and the Mu Clan naturally did not want to easily give up this opportunity.
Therefore, the Mu Clan could only decide to let her continue to challenge.
Of course, the most crucial reason Mu Tingying was able to appear on the substitute list was that she had received Wang Feng's approval.
Otherwise, with Wang Feng's current prestige, even if the Mu Clan had extraordinary means and extensive connections, they would not dare to easily provoke this ruthless person who almost wiped out the Mu Clan.
The reason Wang Feng agreed to Mu Tingying joining the team was actually very simple.
Mu Tingying was his first step in controlling the Mu Clan!
...
...
Three days later, tianshan.
The white snow was endless, never melting.
Between Junfeng and Miaofeng, a rift valley named "Trace of White" stretched across, like a deep scar between heaven and earth.
Even if boiling magma flowed into it, it would solidify into cold rock and ice within a few seconds, showing the terrifying coldness.
In this ethereal and silent white realm, a man and a woman were slowly moving towards the inner regions of tianshan.
Their footsteps left shallow imprints on the accumulated snow, but they were quickly erased by the howling cold wind.
"Is there something you're looking for here too?" Mu Ningxue asked softly, her gaze sweeping around, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
She knew that Wang Feng brought her to tianshan to find the Dew of tianshan carried by the tianshan sacred lotus.
But the tianshan sacred lotus would not grow in a rift valley, especially in such a harsh environment!
Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Sort of. There's probably an 'older sister from a different father and mother' of yours here."
"An 'older sister from a different father and mother'?"
Mu Ningxue slowly made a question mark.
