Who would have thought that there would be such a wondrous place in the depths of the magma!

Qin Shaojie, who had just walked out of the sarcophagus, had a look of surprise on his face as well. This was indeed a small space. Although it was not very large, only a few thousand feet in area, it was surrounded by magma. One could even clearly see magma flowing around this small space.

Although there was no magma here, there was still a burning sensation from the high temperature. Taking a deep breath, one could feel the boiling and burning sensation of air entering one's body.

Looking around, Qin Shaojie also saw that there were no buildings in the vast expanse of land, only a 10 metre tall humanoid structure in front of him.

The carving of the building was extremely lifelike, and there even seemed to be some profound energy fluctuations remaining on it, causing people to be quite surprised. When he approached the humanoid statue, Qin Shaojie noticed that it looked pretty good, and could be described as a kind face with eyebrows. He held a long sword in his hand. It could be seen that he was a martial artist who had thought that he was extraordinary when he was alive.

When Qin Shaojie and the building looked at each other, he actually staggered a few steps back, and then his face was filled with fear. Although his current strength was only that of the Spirit Lake Realm, his consciousness was extremely strong, but the instant he met the building's gaze, he felt an extremely strong pressure, and this pressure made it difficult for him to even raise his head, causing his mind to tremble.

He took a deep breath. This was merely a statue. How could it possess such power and means? If one were to be here, one would possess the deity form if they couldn't even look each other in the eyes.

Although Qin Shaojie knew that once a Ranker reached a certain point, they would be able to call themselves a small world, and would possess the might to compete with the heavens and earth, but this was something that even Saints could not do.

Back then, when he was at his peak, even Qin Shaojie was unable to achieve that stage. But now, he was certain that the owner of this stone carving had definitely reached such a height when he was still alive.

Just as Qin Shaojie took a deep breath in and was about to look at the stone statue again, he realised that the immense pressure that suddenly appeared was now no more, it was as if the statue was an ordinary sculpture, and there was nothing abnormal about it.

Qin Shaojie's expression immediately became serious, the feeling he had before was definitely not his misconception, other than this, to be able to create such a small world in the deepest region of Feng City, this person's position in Feng City was definitely not ordinary.

Sure enough, a word ”Feng” appeared on the back of the stone statue, but it didn't seem to be engraved on it, because the entire stone statue seemed to be rather smooth, and didn't seem like it was refined using profound energy, because one simply couldn't feel the fluctuations of profound energy. The feeling it gave Qin Shaojie was that this maple was as if its soul was floating around and floating around it.

Without specific protection, their souls would disappear with the passage of time. No matter how powerful a martial artist was, they would never be able to change this reality, but even so, they would still imprison their own soul in a certain way in order to preserve the existence of their will. Their goal was to complete some specific long-cherished wish from the beginning.

Qin Shaojie wasn't sure what the meaning of this maple formed by the soul was, but at this time, he felt a sharp pain in his mind.

When he looked at these maple pieces that were circling around as if they were formed by a soul, an extremely strange connection had actually appeared within his mind. This connection was very strange, and was not because of Qin Shaojie's own spiritual sense. It was the look they had exchanged a moment ago!

The look they made at each other left an extremely terrifying imprint in his consciousness. Not only did Qin Shaojie feel an irresistible and powerful pressure, he also felt a connection with the word ”Feng” that was formed by his soul.

Qin Shaojie's ability to endure pain was extremely strong, and he rarely cried out or frowned due to the pain. However, at this moment, he only felt that his head was about to explode, and the intense pain was just like countless sharp thorns that were ruthlessly striking his scalp.

His body trembled from head to toe, while Qin Shaojie also squatted down, he held his head tightly with both of his hands, and under the immense pressure, he could even vaguely see Qin Shaojie's skull being deformed by his own palms. At this moment, his nerves had become abnormally sensitive, and he could even hear the sound of his skull shattering from the huge force of his hands.

If he used any more strength, his head would probably be crushed by this force!

Cold sweat continuously seeped out of his face as he forcefully endured this painful spot. Perhaps it was because of the pain, but his teeth also emitted creaking and trembling sounds. His eyes became bloodshot and his aura became disorderly …

He sat cross-legged and forcefully circulated his mystical Qi as if trying to suppress the pain. It was just that Qin Shaojie did not realize that right at this moment, the phoenix atop the stone statue that was formed from the converging of souls, had actually turned into rays of light, surging towards Qin Shaojie's head. In the span of a few breaths, it had completely fused with his body.

And when these things entered Qin Shaojie's head, the pain gradually disappeared as well. The green veins on his head were popping out and gradually dispersing. His flushed cheeks slowly turned back to their normal skin color and his breathing became much calmer.

Closing his eyes, Qin Shaojie did not make any more movements, allowing his body to return to its original state after experiencing intense pain …

However, in the process of recovery, a hoarse and low voice that carried traces of time echoed within Qin Shaojie's mind.
