The Sutra of Nothingness

However, Shangguan Duo's mind was not here at the moment, but he kept walking forward. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a trace of dissatisfaction and helplessness. When he was in the lower world, he had long been accustomed to the freedom of flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, but now he could only walk down to earth like a mortal, and this feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Tsk, no wonder they can only come up after breaking through the Mahayana stage, little ring spirit, is it true that only the immortal realm can fly in the immortal world?" Shangguan Duo smacked his lips and asked casually. There was a hint of complaint and unwillingness in his tone, as if he was full of resistance to this new environment.

"In this fairyland, only those who have reached the realm of celestial beings can fly. Otherwise, you will be thrown to the ground by the powerful energy of the fairyland. Although you won't die, it will be embarrassing enough." Shangguan Duo's question broke the little ring spirit's contemplation. It sighed helplessly and then answered patiently. It knew that Shangguan Duo needed time to adapt to this new world.

"It's so troublesome. Isn't it just a matter of practicing again slowly? I really don't understand why they are trying so hard to ascend. Isn't it better to be a local emperor down there?" Shangguan Duo frowned and said with displeasure. He felt that life in the fairyland was not as good as he imagined, but full of various restrictions and difficulties.

"You... If you change to other paths, you may find it difficult to cultivate to such a realm, but this is the uniqueness of the Tao of Inaction. Other paths require constant pursuit, just like a drug addiction that is difficult to give up. Can you imagine that when you have absolute strength, but are faced with a limited lifespan, you have to give up everything and die. Can you endure it? Moreover, since stepping into the threshold of the Tao, cultivation is no longer just a simple accumulation. If you stagnate, you can only gradually regress." The little ring spirit rolled his eyes at Shangguan Duo and couldn't help but muttered in response.

Shangguan Duo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Alas, although I have enjoyed it for a while, I have only cultivated to this level not long ago! No, I must improve my cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too disadvantageous! I finally became a top figure, but now I have fallen to the bottom!" He clenched his fists tightly, and his pace unconsciously quickened a lot. However, just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, they unexpectedly saw someone quietly following behind them.

"Bang!" With this dull sound, Shangguan Duo felt as if he was hit hard by a heavy object. His head was buzzing and everything went dark in front of his eyes. Then he lost consciousness and fell into a coma again.

"Haha, there's a new ghost slave. Looks like I'm lucky today! Looking at his strong body, he should be able to sell for a good price. I can reward myself today!" A dark and thin guy was holding an oversized black baseball bat-like wooden stick. He looked at Shangguan Duo who had fainted on the ground with a smug smile on his face.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, then put the stick in his hand into his storage space, then picked up Shangguan Duo's feet and prepared to take him away. Although this guy looked ordinary, his strength should not be underestimated. Each jump could cover a distance of eight or nine miles.

The little Ringwraith could only follow Shangguan Duo helplessly. After all, as a spirit, it could still play a role when facing the people in the lower world, but if they discovered its existence, it would be a big trouble, and they might immediately change masters. Therefore, the little Ringwraith did not dare to reveal its identity easily and could only follow Shangguan Duo silently.

When Shangguan Duo woke up, he found that he didn't know where he was. It was pitch black around him, with only a faint light coming from a distance. He tried to move his body, but found that his hands and feet were tightly bound and he couldn't move.

He looked around and saw many people who looked like him, who were also tied up and thrown aside, just like chickens tied aside waiting to be slaughtered. Their faces were full of fear and despair, and their eyes revealed their worries about their unknown fate.

Apart from Shangguan Duo and his group, there was only a thin, dark guy who looked a little frail. He kept nodding and bowing to a guy with a green face and fangs, rubbing his hands and flattering him with a fawning look on his face.

"Sir waiter, I caught this guy with great difficulty. Look at his physique. Although he is not as strong as an orc, he has a lot of tendons and a strong body! Do you think we should give him a little more? After all, three low-grade fairy crystals are really too low. At least one medium-grade fairy crystal should be given. I believe in the value he will create in the future..." As the thin guy spoke, he stared at Shangguan Duo and others with greedy eyes, as if they were commodities to be sold.

Shangguan Duo's heart sank, realizing that he might have fallen into some kind of dangerous situation. He tried to stay calm, observing the surrounding environment, looking for a chance to escape. However, the situation in front of him made him feel extremely heavy. He didn't know what would happen next, nor did he know if he could escape this nightmare.

"Little Ringwraith, what is going on? How did I end up here?" Shangguan Duo's heart was filled with confusion and anger. He rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness and questioned the little Ringwraith.

The little Ringwraith looked indifferent and responded calmly: "Don't go looking for black mines anymore. Look, isn't this just like someone sending you a pillow when you feel sleepy? This way, you don't have to run around like a headless fly! Someone took the initiative to send you here, and you just need to wait quietly for them to complete the transaction."

Shangguan Duo became even more angry after hearing this explanation. He widened his eyes, pointed at the little Ringwraith's nose, and shouted, "No way, how do you do things? Someone wanted to sneak attack me, why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you know how painful it was when I was hit? I still feel dizzy and have a splitting headache! You..."

Shangguan Duo became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He looked at the indifferent look of the little Ringwraith and his anger grew stronger. He poked the little Ringwraith's face with his finger and continued to scold: "Did you fulfill your responsibility to protect me? If they were not from the Black Mine, I might have been killed by them! And if it wasn't for your mistake, how could I have fallen into such a dangerous situation?"

"Tsk, you blame me! This guy at least has the strength of a fairyland. How do you want me to notify you? I can't even sense his existence. Brother, you have to know that mine is a storage ring, not a perception-type fairy weapon!" However, before Shangguan Duo could finish his words, he was retorted by the little ring spirit.
