When Bolin disappeared without a trace, Charlie was immediately relieved, sitting breathlessly on the ice.
He hadn’t expected the battle to take such a dratewass turn. He had been prepared to be teleported by the ring, but unexpectedly, the mysterious power not only helped him withstand Bolin’s fatal blow, but also destroyed his flying sword, instantly turning the tide in his favor.
Despite this, Charlie still didn’t understand where this mysterious power came from.
Explain it to him. This thing understands human nature; not only does it understand human nature, it can even read and write. The saying “Fortune favors the bold” is the best proof of this.
If Charlie hadn’t been a cultivator, he might have suspected that this thing was an AI embedded within his body.
However, he knew very well that whatever it was, it could not have been created by technology; it must have been related to cultivation.
So Charlie tried to communicate with her. He didn’t know of any better way, so he simply said, “You saved my life, why don’t you come out in your true form and meet me?”
Within his sea of consciousness, the square pagoda that had been almost completely repaired and floating above him now had several deeper cracks.
The Four Directions Treasure Banner didn’t respond to Charlie’s words. Instead, it used its last ounce of strength to conjure an arrow in the air with aurora light, shooting straight towards the thousand-meter-deep ice crevice that Bolin had personally dug.
Charlie watched the particles forming the aurora in the sky as if attracted by a magnet, forming an arrow at the cave entrance. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “You mean you want me to go and see the Gate of Ascension?”
This time, Charlie did not receive any response from the other party, because after the arrow shot out a few times, it slowly disappeared into countless dots of light in the air, like pieces of burning paper.
Charlie noticed a hint of despair and weakness at the tip of the arrow and couldn’t help but sigh, “I guess you must have used up a lot of your spiritual energy to block that attack for me. Don’t worry, I, Charlie, am a grateful person. You saved my life, so I certainly can’t just stand by!”
Therefore, Charlie did not bother exploring the ice cave, but immediately began to meditate there, practicing the earliest set of Great Sun Tathagata hand seals.
This set of Vairocana Buddha hand seals was the same set that would draw Qi from Charlie’s body. After Charlie circulated it, the Qi in his body immediately began to overflow wildly like a broken dam. The originally mottled and cracked Four-Sided Treasure Banner was instantly enveloped by the shining Qi, and the cracks began to rapidly repair. Although not completely repaired, the scars were indeed much smaller than before.
Currently, Charlie had run out of pills. Logically, the safest way to use this Qi would be to keep it for himself and wait until he left Antarctica and returned to continue refining pills. However, he no longer considered that. He wanted to repay the kindness and show his gratitude. Even if he might need the Qi more than the other party, he was willing to share it with them.
However, this time, the Four Directions Treasure Banner seemed to have sensed Charlie’s situation. Unlike before, it didn’t greedily absorb all of Charlie’s Qi. Instead, it only took 40%. After taking 40% of the Qi, even though Charlie was still continuously activating those hand seals, the Four Directions Treasure Banner didn’t absorb any more Qi from his body.
This surprised Charlie even more.
He then realized that the other party was not only aware, but also very measured and knew how to act. Previously, when he wasn’t in danger, the other party had always ruthlessly drained almost all of his spiritual energy. Now, the other party probably knew that he had run out of pills, so he wasn’t as careless as before.
At that time, although he didn’t know what the mysterious object was
