Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 162 The Unknown World

In a strange space, the young boy suddenly appeared in front of Qin Xiaochuan. The once noisy construction site and the crowd surrounding it suddenly disappeared, leaving only him and the boy. The world was shrouded in gray, like the chaotic world before the separation of heaven and earth in ancient times.

"Who are you? Why can you see me?" the young boy asked in surprise.

"Who are you? Why can I see you?" Qin Xiaochuan asked instead of answering.

The two asked almost identical questions and stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Are you a psychic?" the boy asked.

"What is a psychic?"

"No, even a psychic shouldn't be able to see my true form directly," the boy said, frowning in denial.

"So what exactly is a psychic?"

"Are you a demon?" The boy completely ignored Qin Xiaochuan's question.

"So could you answer my question first?"

"No, you don't have the aura of a demon." The boy continued to mutter to himself.

"Hey, can you stop talking to yourself?" Qin Xiaochuan said, a little annoyed.

"Hey kid, what are you yelling about? You have no manners at all," the boy snapped.

Qin Xiaochuan was embarrassed. This kid was clearly not even as old as him, yet he called him "kid".

"Watch out or I'll eat you up," the boy said menacingly, baring his teeth.

The air suddenly fell silent. Qin Xiaochuan stared blankly at the boy for a long while before saying softly, "But you're so cute."

"I'm going to eat you!" The boy was furious. Suddenly, he transformed into a weasel, leaped up from the ground, and opened his mouth to bite Qin Xiaochuan's neck.

Qin Xiaochuan reached out and grabbed the weasel by the neck. The weasel was hanging in mid-air, flailing its limbs and shouting angrily, "Let me go, let me go, I'm going to eat you!"

"You're a demon? You're the Weasel God? The Weasel God is you?" Qin Xiaochuan carefully examined the small animal in front of him that could speak human language.

"That's right, it's me, the great immortal." The weasel stopped struggling, crossed its two front paws to its chest, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring. "Now that you know who I am, you'd better let go, or else..."

"Why did you use the soul-capturing spell on those people?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

The weasel glared fiercely at Qin Xiaochuan, puffed out its cheeks, and said angrily, "That was their punishment. Although I don't know why you were able to break my spell, I advise you not to meddle, or I'll bring you bad luck."

Qin Xiaochuan completely ignored the other party's threat, and instead looked around. All he could see was a gray expanse, except for the unfamiliar runes flashing beneath his feet, with a clear light swirling around the spot where he was standing.

"Where is this place?" he asked, puzzled.

"It's probably a spiritual world." The weasel also rolled its eyes, looking around.

"Is this your first time seeing this too?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise.

"How could that be? I've seen it all, I've seen it all. That's right, this is a spiritual world," the weasel said confidently.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the other person with suspicion and asked, "Then how did we end up here?"

"Shouldn't you be asking yourself that question?"

"Who was it that just said they were knowledgeable and experienced?" Qin Xiaochuan sneered.

"Of course, that's for sure." The weasel sniffed sharply and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have some powerful magic weapon that brought us here."

"A magic weapon?" Qin Xiaochuan subconsciously touched the invisible witch's ring on his index finger with his thumb.

"Then what about this spiritual world? Does it really exist?" he asked again.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" the weasel said impatiently. "I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Kid, if you have the guts, come find me in the back mountain. You know where I am." With that, it twisted its body and disappeared.

The moment the weasel disappeared, Qin Xiaochuan felt a flash of light before his eyes. When he came to his senses, his consciousness returned to the real world. In front of him was still the crazed man who was about to bite him, and the screaming and noisy crowd around him was still there. It was exactly the same scene as before he entered the mental world, as if time had stood still and he had traveled to another world and then traveled back.

The crazed man roared furiously. Seeing this, someone nearby grabbed a rope and tied him up. Now free, Qin Xiaochuan had a chance to check on Guo Shiyi. Seeing the pain still on her face, he softly asked, "Are you alright? How are you feeling?"

"My spirit has suffered a backlash; the opponent's mental strength is quite strong, but it's nothing serious. I just need to meditate and rest for a while." With that, she sat cross-legged on a rock, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

"This young lady seems quite capable!" The workers nearby couldn't help but murmur among themselves upon seeing Guo Shiyi's appearance.

Qin Xiaochuan frowned upon seeing this. After whispering a few words to the foreman, the foreman dismissed everyone. Looking at Guo Shiyi, who was meditating quietly, and the man who was tied to the tree and gradually quieted down, he couldn't help but touch the witch's ring on his right index finger again.

It seemed that an unknown world awaited him to explore.

After a while, Guo Shiyi woke up from her meditation. Seeing that she had fully recovered, Qin Xiaochuan said to her, "Let's go, I'll go avenge you."

"Do you know where the other person is?" Guo Shiyi asked.

"I know," Qin Xiaochuan answered confidently. When the weasel disappeared from his mental world, he knew its location. It was a strange feeling, as if the weasel had projected that information into his mind.

"How did you know?" Guo Shiyi looked at him in confusion.

"I don't know how to explain it. When I saw the driver's eyes, it was as if I saw the person controlling him and clearly knew the other person's location." He originally wanted to tell Guo Shiyi the whole process of seeing the weasel, but he didn't know how to explain the existence of the witch's ring, so he could only hide most of the details.

"That's amazing." Guo Shiyi stared at him with wide eyes, as if she were looking at an alien. "This sounds like the ability of a psychic."

"What is a psychic?" Qin Xiaochuan asked curiously, still remembering that the weasel had initially thought it was a psychic as well.

"They're the kind of people they call 'locals,' some of whom are born with the ability to see things that others can't," Guo Shiyi explained.

"What are you referring to as the unseen things?"

"It's what people usually call gods, ghosts, and the like. Wong Tai Sin is one of them, I guess."

"Does such a thing really exist?" Qin Xiaochuan had just asked the question when he realized it was a bit silly. If the concepts of reincarnation, vampires, and demons all exist, then the existence of gods and monsters should be a given.

"Anyway, my master said they exist. Some people can not only see them, but even talk to them. We usually call these people psychics." As she spoke, she looked at Qin Xiaochuan with a curious gaze and said, "Could it be that you are a psychic too?"

"I don't think so. I've never seen a ghost or anything like that before," Qin Xiaochuan quickly waved his hand.

"Speaking of which, you seem to have many extraordinary qualities," Guo Shiyi said, scrutinizing her.

Qin Xiaochuan's brow twitched upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Yes, really?"

"Of course! Not to mention this time, every time we fight together, it feels like you have inexhaustible spiritual power. Not only that, the speed at which your spiritual power increases is just too fast! I heard from Senior Wei that when you first entered the university, your spiritual power was only level 3, but after just over half a year, it's already level 6, almost surpassing mine! I clearly worked so hard to level up, hmph." Guo Shiyi pouted unhappily, looking at him with a resentful expression.

Looking at the girl's coquettish expression, Qin Xiaochuan was a little amused and exasperated. He knew she wasn't really angry with him, so he reached out and patted her head gently, saying, "Actually, you're amazing! You're not even 18 yet and you've already reached level 6, far surpassing your peers. And if I'm not mistaken, you should be breaking through to level 7 soon, right?"

Guo Shiyi rolled her eyes mischievously and said, "Guess?"

"Ahem." Professor Xin coughed at the right moment, reminding them that he was still there.

The two turned their heads away embarrassedly. Qin Xiaochuan looked in the direction where the weasel was and said, "Let's go, let's go and see this weasel spirit."
