Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Miss, are you alright?" said the man wearing the white ghost mask among the black swordsmen.

He stretched out his hand, intending to help Liu Mengying, who was kneeling on the ground.

But another hand intercepted his, and with a gentleman's grace, lifted Liu Mengying up. A faint smile still hung on the pale cheeks of the savior.

The White Ghost Knight furrowed his brow; he had been fully engaged with another tyrant tiger armor and hadn't seen that precise strike.

Liu Mengying hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose the hand of the man beside her, who appeared more frail. After all, the White Ghost Knight was a stranger...

"Fan Chen, so your soul is still there. Then hold tight to the sword in your hand, and don't let the miss suffer the slightest scare again!" said the White Ghost Knight.

After speaking, the White Ghost Knight returned to the midst of battle, wielding the Yin Xuan Sword, and made short work of the Red Zhe, aside from the tyrant tiger armor, as if cutting through melons and vegetables.

Liu Mengying took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She glanced at the jade-crowned man beside her and sensed that something was off.

Especially his gaze, which just moments before had been weak and fearful—panicked out of his wits—now seemed as though his three souls and seven spirits had returned, and he even seemed to be casually assessing her figure amidst the bloody chaos of the battlefield.

"You... stand behind me," Liu Mengying said without overthinking it, assuming that his previous strike had been a reflex in the face of death, which had fortuitously averted disaster.

"Oh," the jade-crowned man replied without saying much, and stood closely behind the silver-skinned woman, his proximity exuding a unique fragrance that spread, reminiscent of an ice lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, intoxicating anyone who sensed it involuntarily.

Ah, Mother Nuwa.

You really understand me so well.

Another beauty to accompany me!

The person who had swung the sword was certainly not the same jade-crowned man who had been weak before; his soul had been frightened away.

Wu Hen had his Spirit Awakening in the body of the jade-crowned man.

After briefly reviewing each of his awakenings, Wu Hen also captured a vitally important piece of information.

That was, every time he awoke, there was always a lady by his side!

Yes, just as if it were programmed that way.

Even his very first awakening came with a girl whose lower body was made of whiskers!

No wonder it took so long to match...

Although the battlefield was crowded with numerous and complicated species from the Human Clan, to meet the condition of having a beauty by one's side was indeed a bit difficult; Mother Nuwa knew his tastes were particular and that ordinary beauties couldn't catch his eye!

"They must be from the Yinji Sect," Wu Hen quickly concluded.

The Yinji Sect, Wu Hen had had dealings with them, the same group from the locust evil territory who prided themselves on being Yin Department priests, almost equating themselves to immortals, viewing the Totem Sacred Sect as a lesser order.

In the past, Little Yi had destroyed a Yin Pole Heavenly Court, and its inhabitants were members of the Yinji Sect. They almost never interacted with the Human Clan but still enjoyed the tributes from all its branches.

"These people of the Yinji Sect, all claim to be deities of the Yin Department, utterly different from the Human Clan. Yet I was able to have my Spiritual Awakening in the body of one of the Yinji people. In the end, isn't it the same as with the Immortal Clan? In fact, there is no racial segregation; we are all still within the category of humans!"

Through the tests conducted by Chief Li and Shen Wenhai, it was determined that those from Nuwa God End never had their awakenings in subhumans, which to some extent showed that subhumans indeed did not count as human; they belonged to a different species.

However, it was understood that the two supreme god clans, the Immortal Clan and the Yin Clan, if traced back to their roots, also originated from Nuwa. Theoretically, people from Nuwa God End could also have their awakenings from members of the Immortal Clan and Yin Clan.

It was just that, the Immortal Clan and the Yin Clan had lower chances of becoming Lost Ones.

Wu Hen had just startled awake within the body of a man from the Yinji, and curiously, his vision was quite unusual—the world appeared to him in shades closer to black and white. Yet, this monochrome was extremely rich in gradients, no less vivid than a colorful world, and it even conveyed the aesthetic of ancient ink wash landscape paintings!

"This host has a Visual Awakening."

Wu Hen quickly made a judgment. His vision had become incredibly expansive, and the chaotic and brutal battlefield didn't daze him. He could even clearly discern the combat in each separate area. Despite the massive influx of battlefield information through his eyes, he could still rapidly analyze it!

It felt like having smart pupils installed, with all received combat images being orderly prioritized for his mind to methodically process everything. Even when besieged, he could respond calmly and unhurriedly.

What rank of Spiritual Vision was this?

At least Third Rank, right?

Goodness, the people of the Yinji Sect really were extraordinary, coming standard-equipped with a Third Rank Spirit Awakening. With such perception in the Otherworldly Dust, one would think that dying would depend on one's mood! Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

How about the physique?

Wu Hen was now increasingly convinced that Nuwa God End had taken a special liking to him.

Every time he startled awake, he was selected among the nearby Lost Ones with the best foundation!

"The physique of someone from the Yinji Sect should be pretty strong as well," he thought.

"Oh, this guy has a weak constitution..."

"Hiss, even the weak constitution of the Yinji Sect is a Third Rank Physique!"

"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, there we go, no wonder when I encountered the Lord of Yinzhou and those from the Yin Pole Heavenly Court, everyone seemed god-like as if favored by Heaven. Turns out they really do have something special!"

"Aside from the Third Rank Physique, there seems to be a kind of very mysterious power."

With the sword strike he had just made, Wu Hen sensed a kind of Xuan Power within this physique, akin to the Inner Strength in Martial Arts, capable of forming tremendous might.

But right now, Wu Hen still didn't know how to wield it.

"Why does it feel like this guy's foundation isn't much weaker than my previous body that I just dissipated? If I could use Xuan Yin Power, would it be equivalent to Holy Golden Blood??"

Wu Hen was puzzled as well.

How could such a strong foundation end up lost on the battlefield?

Could it be...

"Buzz~~~"

Suddenly, Wu Hen felt as if he was struck by an electric shock, with the soul that had just descended threatening to disperse.

He endured the pain and scanned his surroundings.

A hint of vivid red appeared in his completely black-and-white field of vision. Wu Hen saw a slender silhouette behind the Clay Rocky Mountain, emitting a biological signal and launching a powerful spiritual attack against him!

It turned out that the vision of the Yinji people wasn't devoid of color but automatically filtered out insignificant colors. However, if an object posed a threat, it would immediately display a vivid color—as if warning his brain that the thing there was highly toxic and dangerous!

"Jade Lady Mantis!"

Finally, Wu Hen identified the red figure hidden behind the Clay Rocky Mountain!

It was none other than a Jade Lady Mantis, excellently camouflaged as it released terrifying biological signals, like a Soul-hooking Witch hunting the males on the battlefield!

So, it turned out this host hadn't lost his way on his own—it had been bewitched by the Jade Lady Mantis!
