Xu Mu took out a tier-three Earth Evasion talisman, and slapped it onto his body.
A layer of earth-toned light quickly enveloped him.
Xu Mu flew up towards the stone wall above him, and the moment he made contact, his body melted into it like water.
Xu Mu didn’t know it, but no sooner had he entered the wall than the magical entrance began to shrink slowly.
Soon after, Xu Mu passed through the stone wall and emerged from the other side.
The air was filled with the salty scent of sea breeze, and as far as the eye could see, the vast ocean stretched before him.
The blazing sun above, glaringly bright, shone down on the sea, casting a shimmering wave of light. Sea waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up a clump of spray while white seagulls soared high, echoing their clear cries.
This was the sea he had only seen in his previous life.
At that moment, he finally understood.
That was not any special realm or formation entrance, but a space rift as mentioned in the legends!
“No wonder sunlight from the outside world couldn’t penetrate it, and even the stone wall didn’t have any traces left. It’s like it sprang up out of thin air! Everything makes sense now!”
He might have travelled to a place perhaps tens of thousands of miles away from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range now.
According to his knowledge, the nearest large sea to the Cloud Peak Mountain Range was at least a hundred thousand miles away.
“Xiao Yi might be from here. The owners of those two skeletons could have been his victims!”
“That wasn’t a treasure map, but a map back home!”
“However, Xiao Yi probably wouldn’t want to come back!”
Xu Mu closed his eyes, sensing that the spiritual energy in the air was very thin —thinner than in the stone room, almost half of what it was in the forest.
In this place, it would be challenging to increase cultivation level, let alone survival.
Just by being here, spiritual power would be depleted continuously.
“Discovering a space rift is indeed joyous, but this place seems to have no value! Treasures couldn’t possibly be born here, nor could high-tier cultivators exist!”
There must be cultivators, otherwise, Xiao Yi’s martial method would not make sense.
If Xiao Yi had not cultivated, an ordinary person could not possibly have traveled through a forest filled with monster beasts, and reach White River City. Gazing left and right, there were no traces of humans nearby.
Under his feet was nothing more than a desolate island a hundred steps in scope.
“I should go back first, and investigate this place when I have spare time in the future!”
He was not prepared at all. Everything was unknown here, and no one knew what he would encounter.
His current priority was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, not venturing into an unknown area.
Taking back the red crow, Xu Mu slapped a Land Collapse Talisman onto his body, and returned to the stone room below.
“Damn!”
Watching the space rift that had shrunk to the size of a human head, Xu Mu’s face darkened with helplessness.
He hesitated for a moment, pulled out a tier-three flying sword, and slashed at the continuously shrinking hole.
Clap!
The moment the sword touched the edge of the rift, it broke in two, like clay.
One end fell onto the opposite side while the other remained in Xu Mu’s hand.
Looking at the smooth surface of the sword cuts, Xu Mu’s face hardened even more.
This was a tier-three magic artifact, valued at over a dozen medium-grade spirit stones, capable of cutting iron like mud and hair-thin objects, it could be a family heirloom for any Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator.
But in front of spatial power, it broke easily like tofu.
Xu Mu abandoned the idea of forcefully passing through, watching the space rift completely disappear.
“I’ve left enough spirit stones at home. Ying Ying and the others shouldn’t have any short-term shortage of cultivation resources!”
“With Chi Feiyan’s protection and Yu Heng’s connections, Jin Er should have reached the late stages of Qi Cultivation. As long as they don’t stir up trouble, they should be safe!”
Xu Mu could only console himself like this.
“I hope my guess is correct, and it will open again at the same time next month, otherwise–”
Xu Mu didn’t dare to think further.
After spending a day and night in the stone room, seeing no sign of the space rift reappearing, Xu Mu had no choice but to give up.
He couldn’t just stay here since he came to this side of the space.
Xu Mu decided to seize this opportunity and explore the surroundings.
Since Xiao Yi came from here, there should be people nearby. After all, Xiao Yi was only in the Qi Cultivation Stage; he couldn’t possibly cross thousands of miles of ocean.
Leaving the stone room, Xu Mu went to the surface of the sea, released his flying sword, and flew up to the sky.
Just as he approached the layer of forceful wind, he stopped. He shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand and gazed into the distance.
