"Come on, hurry up!" The boy, holding a soccer ball, giggled as he dribbled it and called out to another boy not far away.

The two boys were playing in a dense forest, surrounded by many spirits, but the boys paid no attention to these spirits.

Two spirits couldn't resist their greed and reached out to grab the red-clothed boy who was running behind. The boy, panting, leaned against a tree trunk and, seeing the spirits pounce, his young voice softly said, "Back off!"

With just two words, golden ripples spread from the boy's feet, and the two spirits were thrown back by the golden light. The other lurking spirits were also reprimanded by the boy. The golden light forced the various spirits lurking underground to retreat, clearing the surrounding aura.

Seeing the boy's great power, the spirits rushed to the other side.

The boy in the brocade robe smiled slyly, dribbling the ball, which glowed red as it bounced. As the light shone, the surrounding spirits turned to ashes.

"Compared to your holy words, my demon-subduing power is more useful," the boy in the brocade robe said proudly. The holy words of the red-clothed boy could only drive the spirits away, but he could easily kill them.

"Linglong Heart, Holy Words?" Xun Yi, standing far away, felt a stir in his heart. Suddenly, the scene dissipated, and the power of Dream Exploration through the Ages stopped automatically.

Drip—Drip—

Water droplets moistened Xun Yi's cheeks as he slowly woke up.

Looking around, he found himself in a dungeon. Except for the wooden door at the entrance, the other three sides were earthen walls. Torches lit the corridor, casting a faint light on the dungeon.

"Where am I?" Xun Yi, not caring about the dream he just had, quickly called out to the Azure Dragon.

After a while, the Azure Dragon said, "This is a dungeon."

"Obvious, I can recognize a dungeon! I'm asking for the details. How did we get here? What about the escape route?"

"I don't know. The incense that knocked you out is specifically for deities. When you were unconscious, I was also knocked out."

The Azure Dragon was frustrated. If he weren't just a dragon soul, he wouldn't have been restrained by such a secret drug targeting divine souls.

"What good are you!" Xun Yi stood up, patted the dirt off, and touched the wooden door of the cell.

"Wood Control." Reaching out to touch the wooden bars of the door, he manipulated the wood to deform with the energy in his palm. Soon, the wooden door twisted into a large hole, and Xun Yi stepped out...

Boom—

There seemed to be an invisible wall at the door. When Xun Yi tried to go out, he was repelled by a force and hit the wall.

"Hmph!" Xun Yi, gritting his teeth, got up and charged again, only to be thrown back by the same force.

Leaning against the wall, he rested and recalled the dream he just had.

"Unless something unexpected happened, I was probably brought here after being knocked out. And because I was unconscious, I touched the power of Dream Exploration through the Ages. But this time, the Linglong Heart and Holy Words in the dream, could they be related to that old man from not long ago?"

Xun Yi mused, rested, and then approached the wooden door again, carefully examining it and testing it with a piece of dirt.

The dirt passed through the gap in the wooden door, and Xun Yi frowned, "Does it only block living beings?"

"This is a divine barrier. Although I don't know which type, if you don't use force to break it, you can only stay here obediently." The Azure Dragon tattoo crawled to Xun Yi's left cheek, and the dragon soul saw the hidden barrier at the door.

"But the guards should have a special unsealing talisman."

"But they won't kindly help me open the barrier." Xun Yi patted his body; even the wooden sword at his waist had been taken. Xun Yi felt helpless. The sword, besides its sentimental value, was just a toy bought from a street stall, a birthday gift when he was eight.

"Come on, you didn't even leave me anything?" Xun Yi searched his body, and the Dingchang Pen was confiscated, the silver coins disappeared, and all kinds of small items were gone, leaving only a few lotus seeds in his pocket.

The pack of lotus seeds given to him by Hu Xiaoman was also confiscated, but because the person who confiscated them was careless, five lotus seeds remained in his pocket.

Xun Yi thought for a moment and took two lotus seeds.

Holding one lotus seed in his hand and throwing the other outside, he saw the lotus seed land as expected in the corridor and smiled, "It seems only living things can pass through?"

"Divine Power, Bean to Soldier."

The Bean to Soldier divine power requires a medium, which must have life. Beans nurture life, and similarly, lotus seeds can sprout. Under this divine power, the lotus seeds gradually transformed.

The lotus seed in his hand turned into a palm-sized soldier wearing lotus armor, walking step by step toward the door. The lotus seed in the corridor also turned into a human form, and two small lotus soldiers slowly moved outside.

Xun Yi could observe what these two soldiers saw and heard through his own eyes.

"The divine power of the God of Blessing is always useful," the Azure Dragon nodded in satisfaction. "Being able to send people out, there's a way now."

Driving the lotus soldiers to inspect outside, they finally understood their current situation.

This dungeon was quite large. Besides Xun Yi's cell, there were many others, with many people inside, some on the brink of death, lying on the ground, and only two or three people still thinking about how to escape.

"Judging by their attire, they should be from the martial world?" Xun Yi, knowing Boss Qiu, had interacted with many people from the martial world.

"But why were these people captured, and what does it have to do with me?" Xun Yi looked helpless. He hadn't offended anyone, so why was he suddenly captured?

The lotus soldiers slowly left the dungeon, following the dark corridor to find the exit.

"How long can your Bean to Soldier divine power last? What's the range?" the Azure Dragon suddenly asked. The divine powers of the God of Blessing, granted by heaven, were all of high rank. But at the beginning, they needed to be honed, and there were always some special flaws.

"The range is within a mile, and the duration depends on the amount of magic power. The only drawback is the size," Xun Yi sighed. "Currently, Bean to Soldier can only become palm-sized and cannot be further enlarged, so it can't be used as a warrior."

The lotus soldiers could only explore the path, find the exit, or help with miscellaneous tasks.

However, not long after the lotus soldiers left, they heard voices from a distance and saw a flicker of firelight. The lotus soldiers secretly approached and found a large underground cave. Three people were talking in the cave.

One of them, a fat man, asked, "Is the young master of the Xun family the one who recently took over as the city god?"

"That's right," a rough voice echoed in the cave. Xun Yi recognized this person; it was the ghost-headed vulture disguised as Hu Daling, who still had Hu Daling's face.

"That's not right! I sealed Qinglong City with a barrier. How could he appear here? Shouldn't the new city god have captured him?" Xun Yi felt something was off. And if he was knocked out by a divine secret drug, why did the city god's residence just watch?

"Is there a problem with the city god's residence?" Thinking of what Hu Xiaoman said, Xun Yi felt a sense of foreboding.

"Coincidentally, this one has a Pure Yang destiny, perfect for your alchemy," the ghost-headed vulture said to the fat man. "He was born in the year of Bing Shen, the month of Geng Yin, the day of Jia Xu, and the hour of Chen. With six prosperous deities, he has a Pure Yang Wood destiny, perfect as the core spirit for your alchemy."

Another man in black, sitting, smiled sinisterly, "And don't forget, his mother has a Pure Yin destiny, now detained in a soul jade. If you use the Pure Yang and Pure Yin destinies of this mother and son to refine a spell, you might even create a Hundred Yin Mother and Son Banner."

Crack—

Hearing news of his mother, Xun Yi lost control, and the lotus soldiers caused a commotion, immediately drawing the attention of the three people.

"Who's there!"

Seeing the lotus seed by the corridor, the three people's faces changed. The man in black hurried to the dungeon, "Stay here, I'll go check the dungeon."

However, as soon as the man entered the dungeon, he saw a round hole in the cell where Xun Yi was supposed to be, and the boy who should have been sleeping was gone, leaving the cell empty.
