The best places to harvest SP points would surely be the places abundant with life and with powerful experts, that had broken the shackles of their mortal bodies.
While his presence there would cause quite a bit of ripple, he had to go there, not only to try and warn some people there but also to create the bases for a future footing.
But now wasn't the time to think about that, as he quickly decided to test the new spatial channel he had just created, as he activated a thread of his energy in order to activate it.
He only felt a bit dizzy for a moment, as the next one he found himself at the corner of the entrance to the tunnel that ended to the entrance of the Nightless Stone City.
Below him, there was a similar hexagonal formation just like the one in the room of his villa in the outskirts of Okinawa.
This spatial channel connection, or to be more precise the spatial formations connection was something wondrous and miraculous to him.
But before he could feel extremely elated about it, he heard the voice of his Dragon Empress,
"Hmph~! Just a simple 500 miles spatial connection, barely acceptable!
Eric had the sudden feeling of wanting to spank this Dragon Empress of his tightly, so that she never acted like this again.
Surely she had all the rights to act like that, as she had seen and experienced more than him. She also had been so much stronger than the current him, an existence that he could only revere.
But was it so necessary for her to always open new wounds in his heart? He already felt that this was amazing, and yet the beauty considered this as barely acceptable.
He had a sudden urge to scream at her, woman don't discourage your husband, but he wasn't stupid enough to do that.
Forgetting everything else, her Dragon Blood was extremely precious for him, and he couldn't afford to lose such a divine boon.
With those thoughts in his mind, he decided to ignore her completely for now, and feel happy with himself. Even though it didn't last long, as her words still rang in his heart.
'Damn!'
Thinking that he had nothing to gain from overthinking, he quickly used another thread of energy from his body, as he felt the same dizziness once again to reappear inside his room.
At that moment, he heard knocks on his door and some worried voices,
"Master are you there? Did something happen? We couldn't sense your presence earlier?"
Eric wasn't surprised by their words, if they did wouldn't it mean that he had just spent 150.000 SP points for nothing?
Thinking like that, he didn't ponder for long, as he called to them,
"I am fine, you come inside and bring the kids with you!"
The ladies were a bit surprised at Eric's words, as they thought that Eric was calling them to serve him. But if that was the case then why was he calling for the kids as well?
Could he have some kind of weird fetish or preference? That couldn't be the case, could it?
As if understanding their thoughts, Eric could only smile embarrassedly inside, as he said with a clear voice,
"Stop thinking nonsense! Quickly do as I say!"
The ladies were caught by surprise, and they were a bit embarrassed as well, but they didn't dare to linger anymore as they did as they were told to.
In no time they were already inside the room, only to find Eric standing over some kind of drawing on the floor, that they hadn't seen before.
Since they had already inspected the villa once, they were sure that this drawing hadn't been here before, so they couldn't help but look at it with a curious gaze.
Eric could understand their thoughts, and gazes, but the truth was that he didn't want to waste a lot of time explaining this, so he decided to show it to them.
The best way to explain something is by demonstrating it after all. With those thoughts in his mind, he said,
"Everyone come here and stand beside me!"
Each and every one of them was a bit surprised, and hesitant, as they didn't know what to expect from this, still, they walked forward and spread around him.
Seeing that they were all inside the formation, Eric was ready to activate it, but suddenly remember something and said,
"Right, this can be a bit taxing in your bodies, and you might feel a bit nauseous when we arrive but try to toughen up yourselves!"
With that said, he didn't wait for them to ask or say anything as he quickly activated the formation, and once again went through the same dizziness.
This time besides the dizziness he even felt quite a bit of weakness, as transporting all these people had been a bit taxing for him, still, he was in a much better condition than the rest.
The little kids were vomiting whatever food they had just eaten, while the ladies were spinning around, and looked close to doing the same as well.
He had to wait for 3 or 4 minutes before Ice could finally recompose herself and ask,
"What the hell is this? What did you do to us?"
"This is just a little spatial channel of around 500 miles or so. Right now we are in the spatial dimension under the seabed near the Senkaku Islands! Cool, right?"
The moment that Eric's words sounded in the place, there was a death silence, while everyone had a stupefied look on their face.
Certainly, they all knew about spatial travel, but that was something that happened only in movies, or fantasy dramas. It was impossible for something like that to exist in the real world, right?
Despite the fact that their strength and their evolution weren't exactly something that could be called natural, and common.
Still, spatial travel was a bit too much for them to understand and accept! Unable to contain their emotions and curiosities, the ladies asked almost at the same time,
"Wha-what did you just say!?" x4
"Spatial Travel! Around 500 miles!"
"Tha-that can't be, right?"
"Didn't you already experience that just now? What do you mean that it can't be? It was precisely because I thought that you wouldn't accept it that I thought of showing you first!"
"Bu-but…"
"No buts, you can easily check it yourself as soon as you take a look around you. Does this look like the room we were previously in?"
At that moment every one of them was reminded to look around, and they could easily determine that it really wasn't the case.
They weren't inside that room anymore. They were somewhere totally foreign and strange to them, as they could see something blocking their way back, and a tunnel in front of them.
The smell of blood and rust made them feel a bit disgusted by it, but this just made it even clearer for them that they weren't in that room anymore.
None of them could believe what was going on for a few moments. They all thought that they were dreaming, or looking at some kind of illusion, but the smell around them clearly told them it was real.
"Imp-impossible!"
Normally Ice was the one who spoke the least words, but right now she was the one that was talking the most.
Eric had surprised and stunned her time after time, shattering whatever previous knowledge she had time after time.
In her eyes, Eric was becoming more and more mysterious, as she didn't know what to think of him anymore.
On the other hand, Eric seemed extremely amused with her expressions, as he found her extremely cute at the moment, as he said,
"It is possible, you just experienced it! Well, anyway we don't have time to lose here! Now I am going to take you to your new residence, and you will be staying there to train and cultivate.
Follow me!"
With that said he turned towards the tunnel and was ready to walk inside when he remembered something, and then looking towards the kids he said with a solemn voice,
"This is your first little test, the insides of this tunnel reek of blood and rust, if you are unable to pass this place without passing out, then I will personally throw you outside. Was I clear!?"
The kids seemed to be a bit hesitant and frightened hearing that, but the temptation of having a family, and a place to belong to was much stronger than their fear, so they nodded their heads hard.
Satisfied with their answer, Eric didn't say anything extra and started walking inside the tunnel, followed by the ladies and the kids.
Just as they entered around 30 meters or so though, he was suddenly reminded of an important issue, there was the body of that stupid snake guy in this place, covered in his excretion.
Since he had been away for a few days, and there was no one to care about him, the poor guy not only suffered the consequences of his own actions but seemed also on the verge of death due to hunger.
Not that this guy's death would create many problems for Eric, but he needed him for his plot of revenge, so he threw him a bit of food, and continued walking ahead.
The ladies and kids behind him though weren't in conditions as good as him, as they couldn't help but squeeze their noses in order to smell as little as they could of that smell.
Still, they manage to walk it through, and soon they were finally on the other side of the tunnel, unable to conceal their sighs of amazement as they looked at the city in front of them…
