Ah Chun looked up at Fei Hong with a confused look. She was not understanding how she was just merely trying to break through and during that time her entire courtyard disappeared! "Master what happened!?"
"Chun'er did you breakthrough?" Fei Hong did not answer Ah Chun's question but asked if she had broken through instead. Mainly because she was not able to give Ah Chun an answered since she herself had no idea what caused such a scene!
"Un… I think so at least but... Master, this breakthrough is kind of weird." Even within her samsara, she had never heard of such a Qi World. Normally a Qi World breakthrough would just have a landmass form in one's Qi Sea. She had never heard of Qi World breakthrough that created an actual world!
"Weird!?.. Let Master have a look" Not waiting for a reply Fei Hong placed her hand on top Ah Chun's head and sent her divine sense into Ah Chun's body.
Fei Hong's divine sense swiftly flowed down Ah Chun's meridians as Fei Hong inspected Ah Chun's body. Fei Hong was amazed as she saw what looked like stars aligning Ah Chun's meridians. Not to mention that Ah Chun's meridians were even wider than they were before! Fei Hong quickly made her way to Ah Chun's dantian. It was only then that she was completely dumbfounded. She could not help but exclaim in surprise: "Qi World variant Qi Space!! That explains everything!"
"Master, what is Qi Space?" Ah Chun had never heard of such a thing.
"Qi Space is a variant of Qi World. The thing is though it's a realm of cultivation that basically combined two realms into one. Meaning you do not need to break through to the Dao Root realm since a Qi Space is both Qi World and Dao Root combined into one realm. I have read about it in an ancient text that says that normally one who has such a variant when breaking through to Qi World would end up dying due to the heavenly tribulation. Since a Qi Space goes against the heavens. There has only been a few that had successfully broken through to Qi Space."
"If that's the case, then Master how did I survive the heavenly tribulation?" Ah Chun asked. She could now guess as to why her courtyard was destroyed but she did not understand why she was able to come out alive.
"I am guessing it has something to do with you vow to the heavens. If I am right it would mean that since you made a vow to the heavens, if the heavens attacked you without a natural cause then the heavens would protect you. Since a Qi Space is not natural then the heavens protected you from the heavenly tribulation that breaking through to Qi Space called." Fei Hong was not sure if her thought process was correct. But it would be the only logical reason since Ah Chun had no idea what was going on. Fei Hong explained to Ah Chun everything she saw from beginning to end.
"That would explain it then." Ah Chun was shocked to hear everything that Fei Hong said. One thing that was for sure was that Ah Chun was very happy that she lived through such a terrifying experience. "Master you said that Qi Space was a combination between Qi World and Dao Root realms, then do I cultivate like I normally would?"
"Un. From what I read, one with a Qi Space would still cultivate as normal. But they can also form Dao Roots. You still have nine stages of cultivation to go through but you do not need to break through to the Dao Root realm and are able to form your Dao Tree's after you reached the peak of the ninth stage and enter the Dao Tree realm. According to the records, for each Dao Root you form during this time your life span will also be extended as it normally would as well as for each stage you cultivate to. So even if you took a thousand years or more to cultivate to the peak stage before forming your Dao Tree. It would not put you behind other cultivators. In fact, it's the other way around. Just by breaking into the Qi Space realm since it is a variant you actually already skipped a realm in a sense. Your current strength is as strong as a one Dao Root cultivator. Qi Space bypasses the Qi World realm and gives you all the benefits you would have gotten during your cultivation of the Qi World realm. Whether its strength or life span you already have it and on top of that you gain another full realm of strength and life span just by breaking through each stage of Qi Space." Fei Hong could not help but be slightly jealous Since Ah Chun's luck was extraordinary. Even though she was slightly jealous this did not mean that Fei Hong was not happy for Ah Chun.
"So that means I have already added eighteen thousand years to my life span." After hearing Fei Hong's explanation Ah Chun was greatly stunned. But also happy at the same time.
"No your lifespan was expanded by thirty-three thousand years." Fei Hong corrected Ah Chun.
"You got eighteen thousand from bypassing Qi world, five thousand from entering the First Stage of Qi Space and ten thousand years of lifespan from the sword Dao Root you formed."
