The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 922: Ghost Ganoderma!

Ghost Ganoderma! . . .

As Li Wuliang drifted into a deep slumber, Cha Eun Xiao couldn\'t help but ponder the changes in his best friend\'s facial expressions. He ceased his incessant grumbling and took a moment of respite.

Upon channeling the East-rising Purple Qi into Li Wuliang\'s Jing and Mai, Cha Eun Xiao encountered a formidable resistance. The East-rising Purple Qi had consistently proven to be an extraordinary martial art since he began practicing it in his second life. Its versatility had consistently exceeded his expectations, even when confronted with the enigmatic and potent red and white clouds. Cha Eun Xiao had never harbored doubts about the martial art\'s superiority.

However, the present circumstances shook his confidence. The energy within Li Wuliang was an unbridled dark force brimming with malice and cruelty. As Cha Eun Xiao infused Li Wuliang\'s body with the purple qi, the malevolent dark power retaliated, tracing the purple qi\'s path and attempting to invade Cha Eun Xiao\'s own body.

East-rising Purple Qi, a magnificent martial art, promptly halted the dark power\'s advance before it could breach Cha Eun Xiao\'s defenses. Otherwise, he might have been overwhelmed. The dark power was an overwhelmingly potent force, and even Cha Eun Xiao could feel its sheer intensity.

Instinctively, Cha Eun Xiao considered drawing back the spiritual qi to protect himself. However, he suppressed the thought with sheer willpower, fully aware that retreating was not an option. A retreat would mean his failure to subdue the dark power and consequently failing to help his dearest friend. So, he remained resolute.

He continued to marshal his willpower and the robust purple qi. But the dark power was too formidable to be subdued easily. This dark energy was not Li Wuliang\'s cultivation power; it had originated outside of him and remained within his body, exuding unimaginable strength.

Although the East-rising Purple Qi was sufficiently potent to defeat the dark power, Cha Eun Xiao\'s own limitations weakened it. This weakened energy stream resembled a cup of water trying to extinguish a raging inferno. The odds were stacked against him.

Cha Eun Xiao, on the brink of frustration and preparing to withdraw his spiritual power, made an astonishing discovery. In addition to the incredibly potent dark power, Li Wuliang\'s body also housed another formidable force—a bright, radiant power. This force was equally overpowering and engaged in a relentless battle against the dark energy within his brother\'s body.

The two powers were evenly matched. At times, the dark power would gain the upper hand, only for the bright power to surge back into contention. Their struggle was unending, with no clear victor in sight. Cha Eun Xiao observed as they continuously vied for dominance, neither side yielding.

The two contrasting powers frequently entwined, with brightness and darkness simultaneously conflicting and supporting each other. The East-rising Purple Qi within Li Wuliang\'s body was woefully insufficient to influence the situation. It served merely to offer Cha Eun Xiao a glimpse into the presence of these two colossal powers.

As Cha Eun Xiao grappled with the flow of power, he could only bear witness to the titanic struggle between the two forces. He marveled at Li Wuliang\'s ability to maintain a delicate equilibrium between these two disparate powers and prevent them from colliding directly within him.

Two immensely potent forces resided within Li Wuliang. One aimed to mend him, while the other threatened to annihilate him. Cha Eun Xiao found himself in awe of how Li Wuliang had not only survived a near-fatal injury but had also managed to attain the sixth level of Dream Origin Stage amid such perilous circumstances. It was nothing short of a miraculous feat.

Yet one question continued to perplex Cha Eun Xiao: "What on earth is that mysterious ganoderma? How can it harbor two opposing powers within it?" He realized that, despite thoroughly searching the area and clearing away all the deceased bodies, he had failed to come across any trace of the blood ganoderma.

Cha Eun Xiao confronted a dire dilemma. Neither of the two powerful forces inside Li Wuliang should be tampered with. The precarious balance he maintained was a matter of life and death, as any disruption could lead to the instantaneous detonation of the potent, coexisting energies.

Yet Cha Eun Xiao understood that this delicate equilibrium couldn\'t last indefinitely. Sooner or later, an event would occur that would disrupt the stability of these two conflicting powers. The consequences of such a disruption were terrifying—Li Wuliang would be torn apart in an explosive release of power.

Cha Eun Xiao\'s frustration was palpable. His mind raced, searching for a solution to this perplexing conundrum. "Damn it! Why did this have to happen?" he thought, racking his brain for answers.

Desperation led him to summon Erhuo, a mysterious creature residing in the Space. Cha Eun Xiao was well aware that Erhuo\'s knowledge far surpassed his own in matters of such complexity. It was his last hope, so he couldn\'t afford to let Erhuo off the hook.

Erhuo, initially reluctant and evidently exhausted, reluctantly emerged from the Space. Its languid demeanor concealed a wealth of wisdom, honed through countless ages. Erhuo condescendingly extended a paw to touch Cha Eun Xiao\'s hand. Its power traversed through Cha Eun Xiao\'s hand and into Li Wuliang\'s Jing and Mai.

Intriguingly, Erhuo\'s expression underwent a profound transformation. It appeared incredulous, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on the enigmatic power it had discovered. Its tail swayed with unprecedented urgency as it meowed in disbelief.

Erhuo\'s demeanor, while puzzling, never failed to amuse Cha Eun Xiao, even amidst their dire predicament. Erhuo\'s tail would sway rapidly when lost in thought, a peculiar trait that always brought a smile to Cha Eun Xiao\'s face.

But Erhuo\'s shout, despite its strange behavior, conveyed a straightforward message—\'Ghost Ganoderma.\'

Puzzled, Cha Eun Xiao inquired, "What in the world is a Ghost Ganoderma?"

Erhuo offered a surprisingly straightforward response, "This ganoderma is called the Ghost Ganoderma."

The irony was not lost on Cha Eun Xiao. His earlier reference to the \'ghost-like ganoderma\' had proven eerily accurate.

"What on earth is a Ghost Ganoderma?" Cha Eun Xiao asked, eager to understand the implications of this discovery.
