Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 288 - 243: Perception Limited by Height

Pure Land, above the Wood Cloud Top.

The thin clouds radiated a five-colored luster, flowing slowly past their feet like a stream.

Wu Hen, Li Feng, Shen Wenhai, Tu Shanlan, the Longevity Taoist Qi Qiao, the navigator Tang Zhuo, and others stood on the cloud wood...

Qi Qiao winked at Wu Hen, her cheeks revealing a sly and playful look. Seeing that his face still held surprise and confusion, she didn’t wait for him to ask but explained, "This Longevity Taoist got lost a few years ago. My real name is Xia Jia. Please take good care of me in the future."

How could Wu Hen not recognize this female Taoist? She had previously followed closely behind the Longevity Envoy, Yan Yang, like a vassal.

So she was an Awakener lurking behind enemy lines, one of their own.

Thus, Wu Hen couldn’t help but admire her acting skills!

No wonder Li Feng knew so much about the movements of the Longevity Sect, including the time when Wang Rui was mysteriously rescued after being kidnapped by them. It turned out that there was a mole in the Longevity Sect.

"To take down such a terrifying Holy Sect, Lord Wu Hen, you really are the most invincible being," Xia Jia, who seemed to have a very lively personality, chatted incessantly with Wu Hen when there was nothing urgent.

"Xia Jia used to be an actress who was both talented and idolized. She awakened the sense of touch and mastered the ability to transform into other people’s appearances and even access some of their thoughts and memories, which is a very special ability," Shen Wenhai explained to Wu Hen.

"Back then in the Holy Sect, I almost slapped you to death," Wu Hen recalled the scene when he crushed Yan Yang.

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t, Lord Wu Hen. A man like you would definitely not strike such a cute and weak woman," Xia Jia said.

"That’s not necessarily true, I don’t see enemies in terms of gender," Wu Hen smiled and said.

In the meantime, Li Feng had completed the final arrangements on his side.

About thirty percent of the humans in the Nuwa God End had moved to Longevity Island, which was less than expected.

Clearly, in the nearly a year’s time, many had gradually come to realize that a Human Clan Force had to be strong in order to survive in this otherworldly Desert Dust.

Thirty percent of the humans leaving was not necessarily a bad thing for Nuwa God End. The realm was already in a state of burden, so weak that the barriers protecting their homes were full of leaks. There were either settlers who mysteriously sank into the otherworldly domain or were invaded by Desert Dust Life...

"Now that the Holy Sect is in the hands of our own people, and we have obtained the Time Yuan You, we should not delay. We need to start our plan to take over the Longevity Sect and seize the Yuan You Mine," Li Feng said to the group.

Wu Hen nodded.

The missing navigators had found the Soul Nesting Wood and did not disappoint in finding a precious piece of Time Yuan You.

With the Time Yuan You, the next step was to capture the Yuan You Mine so they could escape from this high-dimensional insect-controlled Human Circle.

To be honest, staying in this place was really depressing. Wu Hen would rather face the dangers of the Desert Dust wilderness and the otherworldly jungles, battling wits and strength with the Predators, than slowly die in this cage-like Red Port.

"According to the previous plan, Wu Hen cannot be involved, so it’s up to us now," Li Feng said.

"Understood!" everyone responded simultaneously.

"Wu Hen, you watch the changes because we can’t guarantee this operation will be absolutely risk-free. When the time comes, you should prioritize your own safety, since the human species still needs pioneers like you to continue," Li Feng extended his hand.

Wu Hen understood what Li Feng meant.

The power of high-dimensional insects far exceeded their limits of endurance, and their acts of destruction were often whimsical.

While humans step cautiously, hoping to escape this Human Circle, all this was based on the absence of emotional fluctuations in high-dimensional insects.

It’s like a tank of fish that people enjoy looking at when they come home from work, a pleasing sight.

But if on a particular day, one is scolded by a superior and the tank is muddied by the fish, it’s hard to ensure that these small lives won’t become the target for someone to vent their abuse on.

Wu Hen realized that he must be under intense scrutiny from the high-dimensional insects, as if in a pond, his colors were exceptionally bright, and he even made a splendid swirl in that pond.

Yet, Wu Hen was puzzled about how they were observing him.

Were these high-dimensional insects truly invincible?

"Better to enhance my strength as soon as possible."

Human perspective is limited, especially after awakening—everyone sees a different world.

Without evolving to a certain height, some things are inherently difficult to comprehend.

"Let’s practice vision."

Wu Hen began to block out his other perceptions, sitting atop the Observing Heart Pavilion, gazing into the Dark Domain, observing the Red Tide sweeping in from the boundless darkness.

The Red Tide resembled a tsunami as well as a phantom, a type of matter non-existent in the human homeland. Its energy seemed like a combination of sound waves and electromagnetism, able to pass through objects yet blocked by specific materials.

Wu Hen attempted to analyze the essence of this Red Tide with his Spiritual Vision, for the laws of the Otherworld were traceable.

Contemplation, observation, analysis, thought...

This was also a process of cultivation. In the Cold Era of the Scroll Realm, Wu Hen had similarly advanced his hearing.

Days went by.

Wu Hen continued trying to break through his Spiritual Vision.

Yet for some reason, every time he entered a state of absolute focus, he felt a strange disturbance.

It was as if someone, while deep in meditation and just touching upon an insight, would feel a cold and aggressive glare that utterly scrambled their thoughts.

And when you opened your eyes to seek out this gaze, it quickly hid in the surrounding darkness, never to be sensed again.

"High-dimensional insects!"

Wu Hen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with anger.

In this Human Circle, the Spiritual Factor was a state of control.

Naturally, the high-dimensional insects didn’t want those kept here to evolve too quickly, lest they escape their cage.

Moreover, they exerted an invisible pressure, always interfering with scrutiny when he was about to have insights or breakthroughs, as if planting a Demon Shadow deep in one’s soul.

This Demon Shadow would not appear on ordinary days, but would jump out when you were most focused, about to transcend, impacting your mind and soul, so that all your efforts were abandoned!

With the resources in hand, it shouldn’t be difficult for Wu Hen to advance to Second or Third Rank Spiritual Vision.

But after several failed advancements, he realized that he had been cast a shadow by the high-dimensional insects, suppressing the evolution of his perceptions...

"That is to say, if my Spiritual Vision reaches Second or Third Rank, I could actually see through the essence of Red Port."

The limits imposed by the high-dimensional insects proved that Wu Hen was very close to witnessing the full truth.

If he could clearly see the entire true face of Red Port, the high-dimensional insects wouldn’t be able to keep him confined anymore.

"What methods are there to boost it further? It seems that the Yuan You obtained here has been contaminated by the high-dimensional insects, absorbing more won’t effect evolution." Wu Hen began to ponder.
