One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

"Different spaces at the same location..."

Chen Qi's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It may seem far away, but it is actually within reach."

Suddenly, images of black and white lines from the interior scene flashed through my mind, intertwining and forming the outline of the entire world.

At this moment, these memories, along with the landmark locations of the Mind Ape and his recent realization, blended perfectly together.

"boom--"

As if a bolt of lightning had cleaved through the chaos, countless black and white lines began to reverberate violently in Chen Qi's mind, and all his previous confusion vanished in an instant.

He opened his eyes, and the sight before him made him gasp.

The world has changed.

The floor, the lights, the entire tomb—everything was transformed into a simple line drawing composed of black and white lines.

The lines were not static, but trembled as they outlined the shape of the object.

Even more bizarre were the corpses on the ground.

They turned into scattered, swaying lines, which could go out at any moment.

"This is... the remaining spiritual energy after the soul dissipated?"

Chen Qi muttered to himself, reaching out to touch the lines, only to find that his own hand was also made of black and white lines.

He looked down at himself and was surprised to find that he was made up of three overlapping lines.

The three figures have similar outlines, yet each has its own unique characteristics.

One is as solid as a mountain, rooted in the flesh; the other extends upwards, connecting with countless lines between heaven and earth.

The last one acts like a protective shield, isolating external spiritual energy from the outside world.

"The Three Souls..."

Chen Qi suddenly realized.

"The life soul is the soul of a person, the earth soul is a protective shield against external evils, and the heaven soul is the causal thread between heaven and earth!"

This discovery thrilled him, and a brilliant analogy immediately came to mind.

"The inner landscape of heaven and earth is like the internet, the human body structure is like a computer, the life soul is the host, the heavenly soul is the network cable, and the earthly soul is the firewall!"

The more he thought about it, the more brilliant the metaphor seemed.

"A sorcerer entering the inner realm for divination is like plugging in an internet cable to search for information. The Zhuge family's Guiyuan Formation can share the inner realm, which is equivalent to setting up a local area network. And the Daluo Cave Observation..."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

"That's pure hacking technology; it allows you to bypass firewalls and access anyone's interior!"

As memories flooded back, the unusual behavior of the three figures during Shanqi's actions suddenly became plausible.

"He wants to defy fate! He wants to manipulate the three souls to change the causal chain!"

Chen Qi immediately checked the state of his three souls and found that his life soul and earth soul were exceptionally strong, while his heaven soul was relatively ordinary.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Turns out I'm someone who acts solely based on my birth chart."

After figuring out the essence of the three souls and the spiritual space, a bold plan took shape in Chen Qi's mind.

"Since the Earth Soul is a protective shield... then it can also be a Trojan horse!"

Chen Qi's eyes were resolute.

"I will use the Earth Soul as a medium to directly enter the inner realm with my physical body!"

Just do it.

Chen Qi began to control the lines of the Earth Soul to expand outward.

The black and white lines wriggled and stretched, gradually forming an oval-shaped light shield that completely enveloped his soul and body.

"Soul Light Protects the Body..."

Chen Qi felt this wonderful state as if he had put on an invisible armor.

He closed his eyes and began to listen to the call of his inner monkey.

The voice grew clearer and clearer, like a firefly in the darkness, guiding him.

Within the spiritual vision formed by ink lines, he quickly discovered an unnatural distortion.

There was an almost invisible crack, like a fissure in a canvas.

"found it!"

Chen Qi was overjoyed. He reached forward with both hands, grabbed the edge of the gap, and forcefully pried it open to both sides.

"Shoot-"

A silent tearing sensation came, and the ink lines before his eyes twisted violently. A "gate" emitting a ghostly light slowly opened in front of him.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi stepped inside.

In an instant, he felt his body become incredibly light, as if he had turned into a wisp of smoke.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, the colors faded, leaving only pure black and white lines frantically rearranging.

His figure gradually became blurred and eventually disappeared completely into the material world.

Deep within the interior, the restless mind, suppressed by the feng shui energy, anxiously calls out Chen Qi's name.

Its voice was already hoarse, but it still wouldn't give up.

"Chen Qi... Chen Qi... if you don't come soon, I'm going to be crushed into a pancake by this damn thing!"

Suddenly, the gray sky above it began to churn violently.

The once calm gray fog was stirred up as if by an invisible hand, forming a huge vortex.

Chapter 248 Unbelievable

At the center of the vortex, cracks spread rapidly.

"what's the situation?"

The monkey's eyes widened, its face filled with terror.

"Is the interior about to collapse?"

The next moment, a huge, pitch-black figure poured down from the crack and crashed into the inner landscape.

The figure was shrouded in a ghostly light, obscuring its face, yet exuding an aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"This oppressive aura...is it Chen Qi? No, it's even stronger than Chen Qi's..."

Before the monkey could finish his thought, the black shadow had already crashed to the ground.

"boom--!".

Amidst the deafening roar of "607," a massive crater was blasted into the interior landscape, sending earth and rocks flying in all directions.

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, the dark figure had already vanished.

The monkey felt a chill run down its spine. Before it could turn around, a large, dark hand was already pressing down on its head.

At the same time, the other hand supported the feng shui energy that was suppressing it and began to pull it forcefully.

"Wow ah ah!"

The monkey let out a miserable scream.

"Gently, gently! Your head's going to fall off!"

It struggled desperately, only to be horrified to discover that it couldn't budge the hand an inch.

What terrified it even more was the astonishing power of the other party in pulling on the feng shui energy channels.

Those constraints that even it could not overcome were stretched and deformed in the hands of this shadowy figure.

"Just who is this ruthless character..."

The monkey was horrified. Its eyes darted around frantically as it began to think of a way to escape.

The shadowy figure remained silent, but its hands continued moving without pause.

With a loud bang, one of the feng shui energy channels that had been binding the restless mind was forcibly severed.

"Stop! Stop! Boss, spare me!"

The monkey panicked completely, realizing that the being before it was even more terrifying than it had imagined.

"Let's talk this out! I'll give you whatever you want!"

The shadowy figure finally spoke, its voice low and menacing.

"You...have been calling me."

Upon hearing this sound, the hair on Xin Yuan's body instantly stood on end.

It finally confirmed the other party's identity, but was even more incredulous.

"Chen Qi?! Impossible! How could you... become like this?"

The shadowy figure—or rather, Chen Qi—did not give a direct answer.

He released his grip on the restless mind and took a step back.

As he moved, the eerie light around him gradually faded, revealing his original appearance, which was quite different from usual.

At this moment, Chen Qi was enveloped in a layer of semi-transparent black energy, and his eyes shone with a captivating light.

What is most striking are the three faintly visible phantoms behind him, each displaying a different posture.

"You...you've mastered the manifestation of the three souls?"

The monkey stammered, its face filled with shock.

"How is this possible! Even among the inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills back then, very few could achieve this!"

Chen Qi smiled slightly.

"It seems you know a lot."

His voice echoed, as if it came from multiple dimensions at the same time.

Xin Yuan swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that his situation was even more dangerous than when he was suppressed by the feng shui energy.

The Chen Qi before it was completely beyond its comprehension.

"Um... Brother Chen, let's talk this out..."

Xin Yuan forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.

"I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect you to actually come..."

Chen Qi ignored its flattery and instead looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

"This is the interior? It's even more rudimentary than I imagined."

Indeed, this interior space was gloomy and almost empty, except for the feng shui energy that suppressed the restless mind.

In the distance, some blurry outlines can be vaguely seen, like unfinished architectural sketches.

The monkey in his heart chuckled twice.

"Hehe, it's just that it's been sealed for too long, and the inner world has shrunk a bit..."

Chen Qi's gaze returned to Xin Yuan, and his eyes sent chills down the latter's spine.

"Tell me, why do you keep calling me?"

"Well..."

His mind raced, his eyes darting around; he was clearly making up excuses.

"I just feel a connection with you and want to be friends..."
