The black paper sea was deep and filled with resentment, causing one's vision to be blocked by an endless aura. However, they were at the bottom of the sea. Perhaps it was because of the array formation, or perhaps it was because of the lady's corpse, but Wang Baole could see everything clearly.
However, perhaps it was because of the polarization between this place and the other areas that the black aura around the woman's body was even more shocking. The signs of the black aura constantly entangling him and wanting to assimilate him even gave Wang Baole a feeling that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
He did not know what the black aura was, but at this moment, it was as if every part of his body, every part of his flesh and blood, was giving him an extremely strong warning.
Danger!
Wang Baole's heart trembled. He looked at the woman's corpse, at the black aura, and then at the place where the black aura was spreading from … the crack in the seal!
After a long while, Wang Baole resisted the trembling of his body and sent a divine thought to the paper human beside him. "This is …"
"A door to an unknown place!" The paper human did not look at the seal. Instead, it looked at the woman's corpse sitting there cross-legged. Its eyes were filled with reminiscence and gentleness as it spoke softly.
At this moment, its voice was no longer as strange as before.
"The purpose of the Starfall Empire's existence is to suppress this door. I need you to get closer to it so that you can cast that divine ability and borrow its power to suppress the aura spreading through the door and buy time for the seal to heal."
Wang Baole's expression was solemn. Even though he already knew what he was going to do when he came, his mind was still in turmoil. After muttering to himself for a while, he looked at the paper human.
"Senior, it's not that I don't want to help, but there are three questions that I need to know!"
"Go ahead." The paper human did not look at Wang Baole. It continued to stare at the woman's corpse, and its gaze became gentler.
Wang Baole thought for a while and immediately asked, "First question. Senior, you seem to know this woman. Then, what is your identity, the identity of your old friend, and why is she here?"
In response to this question, the paper figurine fell silent for a while. It did not pay attention to the fact that Wang Baole's question contained multiple questions. Instead, its voice carried a sense of age as it floated in Wang Baole's mind.
"She is my lover. As for me … your Star Guiding Drum Mallet is a transformation of a part of my soul. Do you understand now?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Baole's heart suddenly trembled. He thought of what the paper doll had said before. In order to stop the spread of the black sea, an emperor of the Star Fall Empire had used a shocking method to transform his body into the Heaven-Reaching Drum and his soul into ten parts to become the Star-guiding Drum Mallets.
Because of this, every once in a while, there would be Heaven's Favorites from the outside world who would come here to try their luck.
"My soul is not divided into ten parts, but eleven. I don't know why the extra part appeared in the outside world, but I remember that the last place I went to was this unknown place under the seal," the paper human cutout said softly. There was confusion on its face, but there was also a hint of profound meaning in its words.
"However, I lost my memories after entering that place. When I woke up, I was in a ruin in the Never-Ending Dao Domain, and I was unprecedentedly weak.
"As for my lover, she is not from the Star Fall Empire, nor is she from the Never-Ending Dao Domain. She came from … this unknown place under the seal." The paper doll did not continue the topic. Although there were too many contradictions, Wang Baole instinctively felt that the paper doll was not lying. It just did not say everything.
Although he wanted to ask in detail, he knew that if the paper doll did not want to say, it would not be good for him to ask directly. Therefore, after pondering for a while, he asked the second question.
"The second question. The door under the seal … why must it be suppressed?"
This question seemed unnecessary, but in fact, Wang Baole had changed the direction. No matter how he answered, it would inevitably involve the unknown place inside the door.
Therefore, the paper doll remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Do you have to know? Knowing this won't benefit you much. Once you know, you will be noticed … So, are you sure? "
When Wang Baole heard this, for some reason, all the hair on his body stood on end. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth.
"Once I recite the sutra, it will definitely attract attention. Instead of that, it's better to know now. Senior, please tell me."
"Monitor!" the paper doll said calmly.
Before the paper doll spoke, Wang Baole had guessed. However, no matter how he guessed, he did not expect the answer to be … monitor!
At this moment, after hearing these three words, his eyes were filled with confusion. He wanted to ask, but the paper doll had already closed its eyes. Therefore, even though Wang Baole had countless thoughts, he could only remain silent. After a while, he spoke again.
"The third question … Senior, can you guarantee my safety?"
"I will do my best." The paper doll looked at Wang Baole. Although its words were simple, after meeting its gaze, Wang Baole had a feeling that the paper doll had no intention of harming him. It would definitely do its best to ensure his safety.
Therefore, after a moment of silent contemplation, Wang Baole's eyes shone with determination. He gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. Since he had already come this far, there was only one path left in front of him.
Since there was no other choice, he would just have to continue walking!
As he made up his mind, Wang Baole's entire aura surged. With a flash of his body, he quickly approached the center. Although he did not enter the center completely, he sat down on a stone pillar at the edge of the center. However, the sense of danger he felt from this position was extremely strong.
Fortunately, the paper doll came with him. When it waved its hand, a gentle light spread out and enveloped Wang Baole. Only then did the trembling of his body subside slightly.
"Let's begin," the paper doll murmured.
Even though Wang Baole had unleashed the Dao Scripture many times before this, it was different this time. He was very clear that in the past, he had only unleashed the first few words of the Dao Scripture in order to intimidate his enemies. However, this time … he needed to muster all his strength to recite the scripture silently. This way, it was as if he had only whispered a few words into a sleeping person's ear in the past, but now, he was shouting into the sleeping person's ear with all his might. Furthermore, it wasn't just once or twice, but continuously.
"Damn it …" Wang Baole let out a long sigh. However, he was also a decisive person. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed. After a while, his eyes suddenly opened, and they shone with a dark light. Deep in his heart, he began to recite silently!
"Enlightened …."
When he said those two words, the sea of black paper around him did not change in the slightest. The seal remained the same, and the female corpse remained the same. Only the paper doll tilted its head to look at Wang Baole. A dark light shone in its eyes, and its chest heaved slightly. This was because it could sense … that at that moment, all of Wang Baole's thoughts seemed to have been blocked off, and it could not sense them in the slightest.
It was a familiar sight to it. Every time Wang Baole used the Dao Scripture, it felt the same way. At that moment, the anticipation in its heart rose rapidly.
And in the instant that anticipation filled its heart and mind, suddenly … a vast might erupted from the seal, from the sea of black paper!
An ancient aura that seemed to have come from beyond the Graveyard of Stars, beyond the Never-Ending Dao Domain, and beyond the endless starry sky seemed to have traveled through time and space to descend upon this place. Even though it was only a sliver of it, or perhaps it could be said that it had formed a connection with the place where the ancient aura existed, it was still extremely vast to Wang Baole and the paper doll.
Rumbling sounds could be heard, and the entire sea of black paper trembled. Large amounts of ripples appeared, and an even greater frenzy came from … the black aura that surrounded the female corpse from within the crack in the seal!
At that moment, the black aura seemed to have been stimulated like never before. It suddenly spun around and rapidly formed a gigantic black vortex that instantly covered the entire surface of the sealing mirror. If it were to be personified, then at that moment, if the black aura had a face, it would definitely be one of shock and bewilderment!
This scene caused the paper doll's anticipation to grow even stronger. At that moment, Wang Baole's Dao Scripture began to recite the next line!
"… Imprison the Dao of Heaven …."
