Chapter 480: Guiding Mei Gongzi

"How did you do that?" Mei Gongzi stopped her attack, never expecting that someone could counter her spatial rift in such a way.

After passing the inheritance test, she recognized the space element and gained a new understanding of spatial power. Whether crossing space or manipulating it, she had seen tremendous improvement.

The Peacock Great Demon King had told her that their ancestor who ended up becoming a demon emperor had only managed to pass about eighty-five percent of the inheritance test. However, with the Fortune Stone and the Crystal Mirror given to her by Tang San, Mei Gongzi passed one hundred percent of the test. This elevated her understanding of the space element even above her ancestors'. This foundation made her feel like she had become a part of the space element herself.

But just now, when she released her spatial rift to attack Asura, the perfect circles he drew in the air somehow closed the rift she had unleashed. Everything became harmoniously integrated, and the peculiar transformation he caused was clearly closely tied to spatial power, but she couldn't comprehend how. That was the most unbelievable part for her.

Can it be that Asura's mastery over space is greater than mine? How is that possible?

Purely in terms of elemental control, he certainly couldn't match Mei Gongzi. After all, Mei Gongzi was the direct heir of the Peacock Demon clan, and thanks to her inheritance, it was as if she had been acknowledged by the space element itself, making her akin to this plane's avatar of space.

However, Tang San, who was once a God King, had an understanding of space that far surpassed Mei Gongzi's. His energy was nowhere near as compatible with space as hers was, but even though his own comprehension regarding space and time could not be called perfect, it was beyond even that of the most powerful beings in this plane.

He had once controlled an entire divine realm; he had protected the realm from being swallowed by a black hole, and led the divine realm to break free from the black hole and return to a stable space. These were unimaginable feats for the beings on Falan Planet, but he had experienced them all directly.

During these experiences, he constantly interacted with the vast expanse of cosmic space, giving him an understanding of space far beyond what this world could comprehend. This was also why he could use the Mysterious Circles of Heaven even before regaining his god-level powers.

"The Mysterious Circles of Heaven technique, simply put, is a complete process of opening and closing space. When this process becomes harmonious, a Mysterious Circle of Heaven is achieved. When we start drawing a circle, it's like opening a space. When the circle is completed, it becomes a closed space. Within the scope of this circle, the opening and closing process can neutralize all attacks within range. In the future, if you can make it function independently, without needing to pay attention to it specifically, it can be your best defense, and at the same time a powerful control ability."

Listening to his explanation, Mei Gongzi's eyes grew brighter, as if she had caught onto something. "A complete process of opening and closing space, isn't that like creating a temporary spatial realm? Is that how I should understand it?"

Tang San nodded and said, "That's one way to understand it, yes. This is also the difficulty of the Mysterious Circles of Heaven. But since you are now an avatar of space and you have the potential to achieve perfect control of it, I believe you can do it with some practice. Let me guide you through an experience."

As he spoke, he walked to Mei Gongzi's side and said, "Stand with your back to me. Don't worry, I won't touch you."

Mei Gongzi turned around as instructed, facing away from him.

Being so close to her, looking at her long, beautiful hair and smelling her fragrance made Tang San's heart skip a beat.

He slowly raised his right hand, using his internal energy to guide Mei Gongzi's right hand to rise as well.

Mei Gongzi felt that as her arm rose, the space around it started to exhibit strange rhythms. It wasn't tearing space, but it seemed like the fluctuations of space elemental energy were undergoing a new arrangement. In this process, it was as if a whole new world was being created. As the circle was gradually drawn, it seemed as if a door was opening in the emptiness before her, a door leading to another space. This door was harmonious and perfect, and the other space seemed vast and boundless.

Throughout the process, the spatial changes were very peculiar. Compared to her usual method of tearing space apart, this moment felt more like truly integrating with space, working with it as opposed to forcing it to submit to her will. The space element, at this moment, seemed to become more harmonious.
