Chapter 578: Becoming a Spirit (1/2)

Lan waved his hand, and the transparent air in front of the group began to twist and churn. The sight was uncommon, making both Mo Lian and the branch leader feel anticipation rushing through their veins.

With another move, a strange energy erupted from Lan's body and wrapped itself around the three other figures before he stepped into the distorted space he had created, bringing the others with him.

The energy that had covered Xue Wei, Mo Lian, and the branch leader was gentle, but it also prevented them from moving. While Lan still had to unravel the whole seal, his strength was currently enough to handle their return to the world of the living.

When they felt that they could not move, Mo Lian and the branch leader felt somewhat nervous, but they soon found that even the strongest ghost, Mo Lian, was unable to move even the slightest, as the energy had wrapped them tightly.

The moment Lan passed through the hole in the wall of their worlds, everything plunged into darkness. Unlike the previous world where light shone, this place between the worlds was so dark that nothing could be seen.

The air was also so cold that Xue Wei felt how the vapor that left him as he breathed would freeze in less than a second.

The feeling of coldness began to invade their bodies, and the darkness made them feel drowsy. Although they were expected to show a great amount of interest in this unknown area, all three began to doze off as if they were in a daze.

Unlike the time where the judges took Lan and Xue Wei to the Ghost Realm, the return trip was much longer. Xue Wei and the two ghosts had lost their sense of time and surroundings only moments after arriving in this strange area, but Lan had full control over the direction and the speed with which they were moving.

If he had the ability to use his full strength, then they would not have noticed this area, as he would be able to bring them through it in less than a second, but due to the current limitation, he had to slowly advance.

While the area was uncomfortable to traverse for those below the rank of a deity, it was a safe place without any dangers. The coldness was able to make them feel chilled, and the confusion was also troublesome, but for Lan, it was not a problem.

By the time Xue Wei regained his senses, he found that he was in the depths of a forest. Although the lush and green trees were covering the sky with a dense roof of leaves, the light was already much stronger than what he had encountered in the Ghost Realm, and he found that he had missed the sunlight.

Although he was not one to care much about his surroundings, he found that after experiencing a barren and deserted world as the Ghost Realm, he found the scenery with abundant life pleasant. Even his mind seemed to be much more comfortable as he breathed in the fresh air.
