"How's it going? How's it going? How does it feel?"
The Queen could sense that Chu Feng had stopped communing, so she immediately came over, her face beaming with excitement as she asked.
"Sigh… it didn't go well." Chu Feng shook his head, then proceeded to tell the Queen about his experience communicating with the spirits of the Asura Spirit World.
"Hahaha, how embarrassing! Even those mediocre spirits rejected you."
"Now you understand what an honor it is that someone like me, the Queen, is willing to form a contract with you?" The Queen burst into laughter, actually mocking Chu Feng.
"I'll try again." Rather than being discouraged by the Queen's mockery, Chu Feng felt even more determined to prove himself.
However, during his second attempt, not only did fewer spirits respond to his communion, but their cultivation was also noticeably weaker.
Chu Feng tried several more times in succession, but each attempt yielded worse results than the last.
"So communing with spirits is this difficult? Or is it specifically the spirits of the Asura Spirit World that are hard to communicate with?"
"I finally understand why my mother forcibly captured you all and sealed you within my Spirit World back then. She must have known very well that the spirits of the Asura Spirit World are extremely difficult to subdue."
Chu Feng sighed with deep emotion, finally comprehending his mother's painstaking efforts.
"Don't give up — try again." Seeing Chu Feng about to give up, the Queen instead offered encouragement.
"No more trying. I've realized that Mental Power communion has its limits. The more times I attempt it, the worse each successive attempt becomes. I'll wait a while and try again next time, properly prepared."
"Something's happening outside." Suddenly, Chu Feng's expression shifted.
Although his consciousness had been projected into his Spirit World, he could still sense what was happening outside.
Chu Feng immediately pulled his consciousness out of the Spirit World and projected it back into his physical body.
He then realized they were traveling across a vast, boundless plain. The previously clear sky was now blanketed in dark, heavy clouds. Amid the rolling peals of thunder, numerous tornadoes connected the sky and the earth, spinning and howling at various distances — like wind dragons descending from the heavens, seeking to tear the world apart.
The sight was quite spectacular.
However, this was no work of cultivators. It was a masterpiece of nature.
"What's going on here?" Chu Feng asked.
"Brother Chu Feng, don't worry. This plain is called Hell's Plain. Tornadoes appear here all year round. Tornadoes of this level pose absolutely no threat to cultivators like us," Li Xiang said.
"Hell's Plain? Why does this place have such a frightening name?" Chu Feng asked.
"Tornadoes appear on Hell's Plain at least three hundred days out of the year."
"But on rare occasions, there are also terrifying hurricanes of unimaginable magnitude. Those hurricanes are absolutely horrifying — any expert below the Martial Immortal realm who gets caught in one will be utterly annihilated, body and soul, without a single bone left. That's why those hurricanes are called Hell's Hurricanes," Li Xiang explained.
"I see. The Great Thousand Upper Realm really is full of wonders. Not only does it have the Six Great Miracles, but it also has places like this," Chu Feng said.
"There are countless wonderful places in the Great Thousand Upper Realm. My hometown, the Heavenly River Snow Domain, is even more wondrous."
"Over there, snowflakes rise from the ground and fall into the clouds in the sky," Li Xiang said.
"Oh? There's really such a miraculous place?" Hearing Li Xiang's words, Chu Feng's eyes lit up with admiration.
Snow had always fallen from the sky to the earth, blanketing the land in white. But for snowflakes to emerge from the ground and drift upward toward the sky — that was snow falling in reverse.
