Chapter 10 Mysterious Space
Adam found himself floating in the mysterious white space once again. For a moment, he got frightened but then his eyes lit up. "I'm finally back here!"
Ever since he acquired the white lotus, he had been trying all sorts of ways to get inside this mysterious space, which he believed to be the interior of the lotus. But no matter what he tried, he would never succeed.
But now all of a sudden, he found himself back in this place, and he was elated. He looked around at the bright white spots curiously.
"I wasn't able to find out more about this place last time..." Adam tried to swim around in the air. "Just what are these lights—"
The words got stuck in his mouth when he saw what was happening in the distance. More and more glowing white spots were popping up!
"What the..." Adam was speechless. He looked around and saw that bright spots were popping up everywhere, albeit at a slow rate.
All of a sudden, close to a hundred white spots appeared out of nowhere!
Adam was stunned. "Just what the hell is going on?!"
He couldn't understand what these white spots were and how exactly they were appearing in this space. Hell, he didn't even know how he appeared in this place.
The white spots had stopped popping up now. Adam swam towards the closest white spot. This mote of light was only the size of his nail. He took a few deep breaths to calm his beating heart.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." He encouraged himself and touched the light without hesitation!
Adam closed his eyes in preparation for what was to come. To be honest, he didn't even know what he was expecting. Nothing happened for a few seconds, but then...
Calm.
Unprecedented tranquility.
Adam felt as if his mind had expanded. Mentally, he felt rejuvenated. He had never felt such a satisfying sensation in his life. It was almost as if his soul had been strengthened!
Slowly, he opened his eyes which appeared to be deeper than before. He then got up and found that his left arm had been fully bandaged and there were blood stains on it.
"Ow!" He sharply breathed. Even a little bit of movement sent pangs of pain through his nerves.
"Good morning, Adam!" A cheerful voice entered his ears. Adam looked up and saw that it was a girl with brown hair who was smiling amiably at him.
"Eh?" Adam was puzzled. This was the first time another child from the traveling party had greeted him. But then he realized why this was happening.
In the battle last night, he had fended off many wolves and happened to save quite a lot of kids who were behind him.
She must be one of them, I guess. Adam was certain in his heart.
He forced a smile at the girl and asked, "Where are we currently?"
One of the other children, a boy, beside her replied, "We're further inside the Crest Valley."
"I see..." Adam nodded. He was feeling slightly overwhelmed by the sudden friendliness shown by his peers. Until last night, everyone avoided him simply because of his status as a commoner.
But after the kids saw him fight last night, they had a change of heart. Everyone respected the strong. Moreover, some of the children were also saved by Adam so they were naturally grateful for him.
Adam turned his head to look at the moving scenery outside the window. He had completely thrown out the matter of last night's gruesome battle as well as Jeffrey's intention to kill him to the back of his mind.
What he was now pondering about was the mysterious space inside the white lotus. His speculations about his soul being strengthened were already proving to be correct.
He felt his perception increase ever so slightly, his thoughts were running smoothly, and overall, he felt his mind operate much better than before.
But most importantly...
Adam had a feeling that he now knew how to access that mysterious space at will!
