"Boom … …"
The double stone door of the underground chamber shattered and dust flew everywhere. The metal door behind the stone door turned red and turned into liquid metal that flowed to the ground.
The light from the outside shone through the shattered stone door and into the dark underground chamber. In the shadows of the light and darkness, countless dust danced under the sunlight. The iron masked man's expressionless mask appeared above the passage of the secret chamber and he slowly withdrew his hand.
The little black pig followed beside the iron masked man and stretched its head to look into the underground chamber. The little black pig's expression seemed to be even more anxious than the iron masked man.
Xia Pingan hadn't come out of the secret chamber for three whole days. The little black pig was really afraid that Xia Pingan's head would explode after fusing with the realm bead and he would forever be a pig. That would be tragic if he couldn't recover.
The iron masked man originally didn't want to come down, but Xia Pingan was too abnormal this time. He directly went into the secret chamber and didn't come out for three days. The iron masked man could sense Xia Pingan's situation in the secret chamber. He was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in the secret chamber and he was breathing. It seemed like he was fusing with the realm bead, but there was no light cocoon on his body and he wasn't sleeping.
After waiting for three days, Xia Pingan was still like this. This morning, the iron masked man couldn't wait any longer and could only break in from the outside. He was prepared to personally enter the secret chamber to check on Xia Pingan's situation.
The door of the secret chamber was broken open and the iron masked man waved his hand. The flying dust was blown out of the secret chamber by a gust of wind and the entire underground chamber became quiet.
The iron masked man stepped over the debris on the ground and went down the stairs. The little black pig followed behind the iron masked man and the iron masked man didn't stop it.
But soon, the iron masked man arrived in front of Xia Pingan and carefully checked on Xia Pingan's situation.
Xia Pingan's body was soft and he was breathing slowly. It didn't seem like he was poisoned, sleeping, or sick. But he didn't seem to have any consciousness and couldn't be woken up at all.
Furthermore, after not eating or drinking for three days, Xia Pingan's complexion also showed a slight paleness.
The iron masked man had never encountered such a situation before.
The little black pig blinked its eyes and stared at Xia Pingan. It screamed in its heart, "Bastard, don't die like this. If you want to die, turn me back into a human first. Then, you can jump off a building, take poison, or stab yourself a few hundred times. Don't scare me …"
After checking on Xia Pingan's condition, the iron masked man thought and took out a pill that emitted a faint fragrance. He gently put it into Xia Pingan's mouth. The pill turned into a liquid and naturally flowed into Xia Pingan's esophagus. Xia Pingan's esophagus.

. Xia Pingan was like a hunter. He had been lying in ambush at the entrance of the Golden Arch for three days, but he did not see the Nightmare's shadow.
Seeing the spirit stars in the sky slowly disappear again, the entire Spiritual Realm gradually returned to darkness, just like the outside world entering night. Xia Pingan could not help but curse in his heart.
Xia Pingan had a feeling that the Nightmare was also looking for him. Perhaps he had also discovered the Golden Arch that he had entered the Spiritual Realm through.
However, at this moment, he still had a slight advantage. He knew that the other party was the Nightmare, but the other party did not know who he was.
If he still had the Wishful Mask, Xia Pingan would have liked to change his appearance. Unfortunately, in the Spiritual Realm, everyone appeared with their original appearance and could not be changed. Xia Pingan also tried to use a long sword to cut his clothes and make a mask to wear. However, once his clothes were cut, they dissipated into smoke and a new piece of cloth would grow out of his original clothes. There was no way to change its use.
The laws of the Spiritual Realm were completely different from the laws of the real world. Many things in this world seemed to dissipate once they were separated and lost their original functions.
This was the only chance to lock onto the Nightmare. Once this opportunity was lost, it would be even more difficult to find the Nightmare. Xia Pingan made up his mind. At worst, he would exhaust himself here with the Nightmare and see how long the Nightmare could endure.
This was a test of endurance and willpower. The two of them were each other's prey and also the hunter.
Finally, after another two days, on the fifth day of entering the Spiritual Realm, the Nightmare could not endure it any longer.
That night, under the starry sky, Xia Pingan saw two Horseshoe Mites suddenly fly over from afar. They hovered in the air near the Dream Demon's golden arched door for a while before flying into the air, each entangling a star spirit body.
Xia Pingan did not move. He was still hiding in his hiding place, quietly waiting.
The two horseshoe mites appeared at a slightly strange time. Xia Pingan held his breath and did not make a move. In the Spiritual Realm, horseshoe mites could be encountered at any time, but the Nightmare could not be encountered at any time.
More than ten minutes after the two horseshoe mites arrived, Xia Pingan discovered that a large gray fog was rapidly approaching the Golden Arch. Within the gray fog, a white figure could be vaguely seen.
The white figure was very careful. It wrapped itself in the gray fog and approached the Golden Arch bit by bit.
When the fog was less than a hundred meters away from the Golden Arched Door, a white figure suddenly rushed out of the fog. Just as it was about to rush into the Golden Arched Door, Xia Pingan immediately jumped out of his hiding place and stood in front of the Golden Arched Door. He formed a hand seal and shouted, "Scatter …"
The gray fog surrounding the white figure dispersed. The gray fog within a one-mile radius of the Golden Arched Door rolled and disappeared in an instant.
Xia Pingan and the white figure immediately saw each other.
"It's you …"
Both of them were shocked.
"Master Shuiyue …"
"Xia Pingan …"
Both of them called out each other's names almost at the same time.
Compared to Xia Pingan's shock when he found out that the Nightmare was Master Shuiyue, the Nightmare was even more shocked when he saw Xia Pingan's face.
The two figures were separated by dozens of meters and both of them locked their gazes on each other.
"I didn't expect that the famous Dream Seer of Shang Jing City was actually the Nightmare!" Xia Pingan sighed.
Master Shuiyue's eyes flashed strangely. She took in all the shock in her eyes and her expression returned to normal. Then, she said in a hoarse voice, "I also didn't expect that the East Harbor Inspector of the Judgement Army could also merge 22 Dream Seer Realm Pearls and enter the Spiritual Realm. The Shang Dynasty shouldn't know that you have such abilities!"
"Haha, that's why it's such a coincidence. I didn't expect the Nightmare who had attacked me so many times to be a Dream Soothsayer. The contrast between their identities is too great. It's indeed the best cover for you!" As Xia Pingan spoke, he had already unsheathed the rusty longsword in his hand with a swish …
The Nightmare's eyes narrowed but he didn't retreat. Instead, he said coldly, "We are both beginner Spirit Masters. You know what I know and I know what you know. The Zhanwu Sword is only useful against Horned Beetles and is useless against Spirit Masters. Neither of us can do anything to the other. Why don't we make a deal? We will each return to our secret mandala and fight to the death based on our abilities …"
"Hahaha …" Xia Pingan laughed maniacally. "Everyone says that the Nightmare of the Blood Demon Church is full of tricks. It's true. Our Zhanwu Sword can only kill Horned Beetles and can't do anything to the other party. But do you think that I need the Zhanwu Sword to kill you? If this long sword slashes your neck here, do you think you can still live?" As Xia Pingan spoke, he lightly flicked the long sword in his hand. That long sword let out a draconic roar.
The Nightmare's expression was cold as he pulled out his shiny long sword. He pointed it at Xia Pingan and laughed coldly. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? If we really fight, the one who will die here will probably be you. I just think that as two powerful Summoners, we have to use such a crude method to fight to the death in the Spiritual Realm. It's a bit ridiculous!"
"Hehe, aren't you afraid?" Xia Pingan had a smile on his face. With firm steps, he approached the Nightmare step by step. "If I'm not wrong, the level of your Soul Power in your body shouldn't have increased at all after entering the Spiritual Realm, right? The Blood Demon Church allowed you to enter the Spiritual Realm. Perhaps you were lucky enough to obtain the identity token of a Spirit Herder, enter the Spirit Herder Castle, and learn the basic skills of a Spirit Herder. However, you can't kill Horned Beetles, so you can't fulfill the true mission of a Spirit Herder. Your strength has been stagnant.
Therefore, even though you've been famous for a long time, you're still a basic Spirit Herder. You can't advance on the path of a Spirit Herder. God is fair. The Blood Demon Church can't take all the advantages in the Spiritual Realm. You can't control Horned Beetles and kill them to increase your strength. Don't you think I'm right? This month, you've used the Dream Puppet Technique to do many things in Shang Jing City. You must have used up a lot of Soul Power. You shouldn't have recovered yet. Furthermore, you've stayed here for five days. If it weren't for the fact that you can't hold on any longer, you wouldn't be in a hurry to return to the secret mandala … "
The Nightmare sneered. "I can't kill you, but the Horned Beetles can …"
Looking at the approaching Xia Pingan, the Nightmare abruptly retreated. Suddenly, he let out a strange howl. He formed a hand seal and pointed at Xia Pingan.
The two Astral Soul Bodies in the sky suddenly fell. The two Horned Beetles attached to the Astral Soul Bodies also pounced on Xia Pingan. They shot arrows of black gas from their mouths towards Xia Pingan.
Two rays of light from the Demon Slaying Sword suddenly lit up and slashed towards the two Horned Beetles.
In the blink of an eye, the two Horned Beetles' bodies were crushed by the Demon Slaying Sword. The Nightmare took advantage of the moment Xia Pingan released the Demon Slaying Sword to roar. Using the Horned Beetles' bodies as cover, he moved like a wisp of smoke towards the Golden Arched Door.
Before the Demon Slaying Sword could return to Xia Pingan's hand, a slightly rusty longsword appeared in Xia Pingan's hand. His body quickly turned and pounced towards the Nightmare. The two people's bodies crisscrossed in the air like lightning. The cold light and the sharp edge of the sword collided in the air. A few rays of light that were hard to catch with the naked eye flashed in the air …
"Ah …" The Nightmare screamed. One of his hands that was holding the longsword was severed at the shoulder. Black blood spurted out and fell to the ground.
His entire body turned into a ray of red blood light and pounced into the Golden Arched Door. Xia Pingan threw out his longsword. The longsword in his hand turned into a ray of sword light and chased after the Nightmare's body, disappearing into the Golden Arched Door …
