Lin Tian knew very well that his consciousness could enter the Inner energy space this time entirely because of Houqing, so he suspected whether he must elevate himself to the Zombie Ancestor level to open the Inner energy space.

He wanted more than anyone to open the Inner energy space, because having the ability to open it means he could control Taiyin Xuan Qi. What is Taiyin Xuan Qi? It's something that can enhance Nu Ba's power and allow him to push back the Zombie Ancestor.

Just now, when he clashed with Houqing, Lin Tian felt the effects of Taiyin Xuan Qi, dramatically boosting his strength and allowing him to push back Houqing in the battle.

Don't underestimate just a single step. With Houqing's level, even ten Xu Feibai couldn't necessarily make Houqing take a step back, but after the enhancement of Taiyin Xuan Qi, Lin Tian managed to do so. That's the terrifying part of Taiyin Xuan Qi.

Even something the Zombie Ancestor needs can't be mediocre, can it? Clearly not. Of course, Lin Tian can only imagine; truly opening the Inner energy space is still a distant thing.

Right now, the most critical thing is how to leave the Inner energy space. Lin Tian considered many ideas and then said, "How do I leave the Inner energy space?"

"I don't know," Lin Tian No.2 said very frankly.

"What, you don't know? My main consciousness is trapped here; if I can't get out, won't I become a vegetable?" Lin Tian exclaimed.

"From a medical definition, yes," Lin Tian No.2 said earnestly, with Lin Tian's tone, showing that it was separated from Lin Tian's main consciousness, and even their way of speaking was similar.

However, Lin Tian had no mood to pay attention to such things; how to get out was his biggest concern. Taiyin Xuan Qi had just helped him, and now it trapped him, which was really ironic. Therefore, something uncontrollable is a double-edged sword and might hurt oneself at any time.

Wait, no, if I'm unconscious, Houqing will definitely try to wake me up, given Houqing's power level, he can definitely do it. Lin Tian thought about the Houqing Ancestor outside.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Tian calmed down, sat cross-legged, and at the moment he sat down, Lin Tian No.2 suddenly disappeared.

At the moment of its dispersion, strands of imperceptible streams of air merged into Lin Tian's body, but he was too focused on thinking about how to get out to notice the merging air streams.

After Lin Tian No.2 disappeared, the entire space fell into dead silence again, and Lin Tian stopped exploring this space, just sitting quietly.

There was no world here, no time; Lin Tian couldn't feel the passage of time and didn't know how long he waited when suddenly a blood-colored vortex appeared above his head.

At first, the vortex was only the size of a palm. After a few breaths, it expanded to a diameter of three meters and still showed signs of continuing to grow.

But before it could expand further, the dark space suddenly trembled; a stream of air surged out from the darkness and struck the blood-colored vortex directly.

This collision caused the vortex to shrink by a meter, and another stream of air surged out, again rushing toward the vortex.

"If not now, when will you come out?" A voice echoed from the vortex.

It was Houqing's voice! Lin Tian felt a surge of delight; he didn't have time to think because more streams of air were rushing over. If they broke the vortex, he wouldn't need to go out. He leaped toward the vortex, and at the same time, the vortex emitted a pulling force.

With extreme speed, Lin Tian dashed into the center of the vortex. At the moment of entering, the air stream also hit the vortex; the vortex quickly contracted, and Lin Tian felt the world spinning, as if he were being compressed into a point.

With a hum, the vortex shattered, and Lin Tian's figure disappeared within it.

Lin Tian felt his whole body relax; the familiar feeling returned, the sensation of controlling his body, so real. He opened his eyes instantly and saw Houqing's face, who smiled as he saw Lin Tian awaken.

Lin Tian glanced around him, realizing he was lying in a jade coffin, feeling uncomfortable, he contracted his waist and abdomen, jumped out of the coffin, and landed steadily on the ground.

"Lin Tian, you're finally awake! I thought you were dead!" Sword Spirit's talkative voice resounded, filled with genuine joy.

Lin Tian used to think this chatterbox sounded like a bomber, preventing peace; now, it seemed more pleasant.

"I'm still a virgin; how could I dare die?" Lin Tian joked.

He then looked at Houqing and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Houqing Ancestor, for saving me."

"Even without my help, you could've woken up on your own; it just would've taken more time," Houqing replied indifferently.

"About our wager..." Lin Tian glanced at Houqing's hand, where Sword Spirit was, and said.

Houqing chuckled lightly, "Survive three moves, and Sword Spirit naturally returns to you."

With that, Houqing opened his palm, and Sword Spirit flew to Lin Tian's front automatically. Lin Tian didn't hesitate, grabbed Sword Spirit, and swallowed it.

"Phew, this king is finally saved; that was really close," Sword Spirit said with lingering fear, recalling Lin Tian's desperate rescue, and added, "You saved me this time; I will remember your kindness."

Lin Tian smiled indifferently, ignoring it, but looked at Houqing, just as he was about to say something, Houqing motioned to stop him.

"It seems you've absorbed quite a lot during your unconsciousness, strength enhanced nicely. Let me lend you a hand and see how far you can go!" Houqing said something Lin Tian didn't quite understand, but it didn't sound like a bad thing.

Lin Tian also noticed that after coming out of the Inner energy space, both his spiritual sense and power were significantly enhanced; perhaps he unconsciously absorbed Taiyin Xuan Qi inside.

However, what did Houqing mean by "lend a hand"? Lin Tian didn't have time to ponder as Houqing already acted. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a Blood Pearl flew out; seeing this Blood Pearl, Lin Tian vaguely guessed what would happen.

Houqing's eyes flickered; the Blood Pearl shot forward rapidly, reaching Lin Tian's forehead. Lin Tian did not resist and let the Blood Pearl fall. As soon as it touched his skin, it penetrated inside; Lin Tian only felt a vast energy surge in, instantly filling his entire being.

"Rise!" Houqing didn't stop; after flicking out the Blood Pearl, he whispered, and simultaneously crossed his hands, pointing at Lin Tian. A complex pattern appeared under Lin Tian's feet immediately, bursting with blood-red light, enveloping him.

At the moment of being enveloped by the red light, Lin Tian felt the vast energy intensely stirred and penetrated every particle of his being.

The explosive surge of power spread through Lin Tian, making him roar towards the sky, revealing his zombie true form again.

At this moment, if Lin Tian still didn't understand what Houqing intended, his head was a waste; Houqing meant to enhance Lin Tian's power with Zombie Ancestor's ancestral blood!
