1135 Filled with Spiritual Qi

Buzz!

The ground where Tenshou's head fell lit up with a glaring red radiance, its energy undulating like a wave.

Craaaaaaaackkk…

The ground started to crack and kept growing as dark gray spinning chaos took shape.

The core of the altar was made of solid bricks.

But when the surface started to crack, everything started to fall into the chaos like the altar was hollow. With that being said, a portal to the other place was created!

"Is this…a spatial tear?"

Chen Xiaobei's eyes widened. He had seen a similar gray chaos in the space that the Daitengu, Qie Loulan had created.

This was a rift that acted as a bridge to another space.

Qie Loulan had said that the clash of both powerful attacks between demigods or nuclear explosion could cause a 'tear' in space.

That year when Qie Loulan fought his nemesis, a spatial rupture was formed, allowing the Xiuhcoatls to enter his space and attack him.

"Does this rift connect to an unknown space? But where does it go?"

Chen Xiaobei wondered as he carried Demonic Fox in his arms.

Only heaven knows what was on the other side. Could it be paradise? Or a place of eternal doom?

Plop!

Tenshou's head tumbled into the spatial tear.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaobei had a sudden epiphany. "Sifu had told me that the reincarnated Daji would open up a brand new path for me. Little Fox created this tear for me. I must at least take a good look at it!"

Chen Xiaobei put away his Dragon's Edge and then placed Demonic Fox's body into the Infinite Space Ring.

All around him laid the dozen of Star Temple Elders, hanging on to their dear life.

Chen Xiaobei spat, "If you die, then consider your own bad luck! But if you live, and we meet again, know that it'll be at your funeral!"

Chen Xiaobei could not be bothered to check their pulses. As long as Tenshou was dead, they would never find out Chen Xiaobei's true identity. If they live, they would be like a burden for him that pushed him to train harder so that in the near future, he would be able to use his cultivation to crush them like bugs!

Chen XIaobei then leaped into the spatial tear.

And his world spun all around him so that he was like a leaf in a storm, flitting uncontrollably and swept in every direction.

"Urgh…"

Finally, Chen Xiaobei's feet touched the ground and the spinning came to an abrupt stop.

"What is this place…"

Chen Xiaobei took in his surroundings.

The place was covered in green. There lush trees and an endless carpet of grass where a stream gushed and gurgled. The cool wind danced around him, carrying with it the sweet scent of the wildflowers. At first glance, the place looked very much like Shallow Grass Mountain—a sequestered Arcadia.

But upon close inspection, there were quite a few elements that were inconsistent with Shallow Grass Mountain.

The sky was lilac and the clouds were a pale red; instead of round, the sun was rhombic! All the wildflowers spread across the ground were nothing like Chen Xiaobei had ever seen before! Even the trees were unlike those back on earth!

It dawned on Chen Xiaobei that he was no longer on Earth and had come to a whole new space.

Other than all these unfamiliar things, Chen Xiaobei was also delighted to see something that exists on earth—Spiritual Qi!

This place was filled with pure, dense Spiritual Qi!

It was a hundred times denser than those back on earth—nearly as rich as the ones back in Tenshou's treasury!

Chen Xiaobei was ecstatic!

Back in the area outside Tenshou's treasury, it was not a surprise that the density of Spiritual Qi was dense when confined in that ten-meter-radius space.

But here, in this vast—who knows how wide—space, the air was filled with Spiritual Qi of the same density!

If the tiny space outside Tenshou's treasury was like a little teacup filled to the brim, this space was an overflowing lake! 

What's more, this place was unoccupied! Owned by nobody. So, Spiritual Qi could be used as he pleased without having to ask permission from anyone!

No wonder Chen Xiaobei was on cloud nine!

"I will start to train here. I will need to contact Sifu as soon as possible and ask him how to go about handling Demonic Fox."

Chen Xiaobei set aside his delight and prepared himself to begin his training.

But there was something at the back of his mind, like he had forgotten about something.

He quickly turned around and saw that the spatial tear was slowly closing up, which mean that even if the people of Southern Town Star Temple were alive, they could not get to him.

How then was Chen Xiaobei supposed to return? That was nothing to worry about.

He did not need to create a rift in space. He had the Returning Bracelet with him. He could go back to the place where he marked, which was Bei Xuan Faction, any time he pleased.

He watched the tear until it was completely sealed.

"Xiao'er!"

Chen Xiaobei took out the golden beetle from his pocket and said, "I am going to start training now. I need you to keep watch nearby. Wake me up if there's anything unusual!"

"Alright!" Xiao'er replied. "What is this place? Wow! The Spiritual Qi is so dense! It's like 100 times denser than Earth's!"

"I don't know where this place is either. We'll figure it out after I talk to Sifu. I can't chat with you now."

Chen Xiaobei crossed his legs and began to silently practice the Scripture of Heaven and Earth.

"Bro Bei! Hold on! I have one more question!" Xiao'er said urgently, "Can I go look for something to eat? I smelled something delicious!"

"Delicious?" 

Chen Xiaobei paused. Things that this little gourmand Xiao'er deemed delicious were usually extraordinary items. It would be good if Xiao'er could find some.

"Alright. Go ahead. Don't forget to leave some for me! Also, don't go too far! You need to be near enough to warn me when danger is near!"

"Alright! I promise not to let danger come near you!"

Xiao'er promised before wandering off cheerily.

Chen Xiaobei continued with the Scripture of Heaven and Earth and slipped into a meditative state.

After moments passed, Sifu's voice finally rang in his head.

"Xiaobei! I'm here! What is it you want to tell me…"

The Prime of Tongtian materialized in Chen Xiaobei's mind, waking him up,

"Sifu! You're here! God, I am so anxious!" Chen Xiaobei replied.

"Don't be. Take your time…" The Prime of Tongtian said.
