Li Ming felt as if his cultivation had surged dramatically, with the Spiritual Energy within him surging like a flood. He sensed a powerful force coursing through his body, as if he had been carrying a heavy burden all along, and now he had finally laid it down. "So I was in a state of carrying a burden all this time?" he pondered, feeling a mix of surprise and confusion.
However, Mo Shiu's voice interrupted his thoughts: "The Curse Seals on you are far too many. The one who placed the Curse Seal on you... is highly skilled, and it won't be resolved easily. It also requires some appropriate materials to accurately unravel the bindings."
Li Ming nodded but couldn't help feeling a surge of curiosity. He had always thought of himself as an ordinary person until half a year ago when he discovered his cultivation aptitude. Why did the Hidden Realm impose Curse Seals on him? His cultivation aptitude was only revealed about six months ago; could such a complex Curse Seal have been placed on him in such a short time? Or had he been targeted by the Hidden Realm long before that?
"Why did the Hidden Realm place Curse Seals on me?" Li Ming asked, filled with unease and confusion. "I'm just an ordinary person who only discovered my cultivation aptitude half a year ago. Why would they do this to me?"
Mo Shiu sneered, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes. "You are indeed an ordinary person, Li Ming," he said, his tone laced with mockery. "But those from the Hidden Realm have long seen the power hidden within you. Perhaps you don't know yet, but there is some special force in your bloodline that makes you a potential threat and tool."
Hearing this, Li Ming was shocked. He had never heard of any special power in his bloodline, but everything seemed to start making some sense. "Then why don't they just control me directly instead of imposing Curse Seals?" he continued to question, filled with doubt.
"Because they need you to awaken this power on your own," Mo Shiu replied coldly, his tone filled with both threat and temptation. "If they were to control you directly, it might backfire. By placing Curse Seals, they can restrict your power while guiding you toward the direction they desire."
A chill ran down Li Ming's spine; he knew he was in an uncontrollable situation, but he also understood that he could not give up. He had to find a way out, no matter how difficult it might be. "So what should I do to unravel these Curse Seals?" he asked, his voice resolute and determined.
"Join forces with me, Li Ming," Mo Shiu's voice was low and enticing. "I will teach you how to master this power and become a true powerhouse. Only then can you break free from the control of the Hidden Realm and find your own future."
Li Ming felt tempted by Mo Shiu's words; a flicker of desire stirred within him. For him now, gaining greater strength was indeed his goal, and having more powerful abilities would increase his chances of breaking free from the Chaos Pearl's control. He was acutely aware of his situation and knew he must seize every opportunity to enhance his strength.
Just as Li Ming was about to nod in agreement, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled violently. The earth began to shake intensely as if some powerful force was shaking the entire space. Li Ming felt uneasy; his legs trembled slightly, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
Mo Shiu glanced around, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "It seems our heart-to-heart is over," he said coldly, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes. "Think carefully about my proposal, Li Ming. I foresee a future filled with bloodshed..."
Li Ming felt a chill run down his spine; he knew that Mo Shiu's words were laced with threats and warnings. His mind was filled with countless questions and unease, but he understood that this was not the time for deep contemplation. He needed to stabilize his emotions first and find a safe place.
The ground trembled more violently, as if the entire world was shaking. Li Ming felt dizzy, struggling against the fear rising within him, trying hard to remain calm. He knew this was an unavoidable challenge, but he would not back down.
"What do you mean by the future... what will it really be like?" Li Ming asked with difficulty, his voice heavy with doubt and anxiety.
Mo Shiu's laughter echoed once more, deep and authoritative. "The future will be a world of the strong; the weak will only be eliminated." His voice dripped with coldness and ruthlessness. "And you, Li Ming, will have the chance to become strong and take control of your own destiny. But all of this depends on whether you can accept my proposal."
Li Ming's heart surged with endless determination and plans. He knew this would be a tough battle, but he would not retreat. No matter how difficult it became, he would persevere to find his own strength and future. He understood that he must utilize Mo Shiu to uncover the truth behind the Hidden Realm and the Curse Seal, to unravel this entire mystery.
The ground continued to shake, and Li Ming felt a wave of helplessness and despair wash over him, yet he fought against his fear and stood firm. "Alright, I will consider your proposal." His voice was resolute and unwavering.
As the space began to tremble, it dawned on Li Ming that he didn’t even know where he was. Panic set in as he shouted at Mo Shiu, "Hey! Where is this? Is this my dream?"
Mo Shiu spread his arms wide, grinning mischievously. "This is the realm of the king... all the beings I have devoured are here. Welcome to my treasure trove!"
Li Ming listened in shock, confusion and fear swirling in his mind. Had he already been consumed by Mo Shiu? How had all of this happened? He felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him, as if all his efforts had become meaningless. However, there was no time for further thought; everything around him began to collapse rapidly, as if the entire space was disintegrating.
"What... what did you say?" Li Ming asked in astonishment, his voice filled with terror and confusion.
"This is my treasure trove, Li Ming," Mo Shiu sneered coldly, his tone dripping with cruelty and mockery. "All the souls I have devoured are here; you are one of them."
A sharp pain pierced through Li Ming as despair and helplessness filled his heart. His vision blurred, and the surroundings began to crumble swiftly, as if the entire world was vanishing. Li Ming knew he had to find a way out, no matter how difficult it might be.
At that moment, the white light grew increasingly intense, and Li Ming felt as if his body was being torn apart. His limbs were paralyzed, bound by an invisible force. Countless images flashed through his mind; he saw his past life, his experiences at the company, and the moment he was consumed by Mo Shiu.
"What is this...?" Li Ming struggled to ask, his voice filled with endless questions and fear.
Mo Shiu's voice echoed in the white light, laced with a hint of cold laughter and triumph. "This is your nightmare, Li Ming. You will be trapped here forever, becoming a part of my power. Welcome to my world."
Li Ming felt a wave of despair wash over him, but he knew he could not give up. He had to find a way out, no matter how difficult it might be. His consciousness began to blur, yet he persisted, unwilling to surrender.
"I... will not... give up..." Li Ming silently vowed in his heart, a glimmer of determination and resolve flashing in his eyes. He understood that this was a challenge he had to face; only by overcoming this evil force could he reclaim his strength and hope.
The surrounding white light gradually faded, and Li Ming felt a strong wave of dizziness. His body began to lose control, and his consciousness continued to slip away.
