Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Space (Three updates!)

Just as the Xiao Family was extremely happy, Su Han had already followed Ling Qinghai to the Cold Cloud Sect.

The others were still behind, but Ling Qinghai had been the first to bring Su Han, unmatched in speed.

The Cold Cloud Sect was vast with countless buildings, far surpassing what the Four Great Families of Yuanshan County had.

Although it was on the mountaintop, the buildings were surrounded by flowers and grass, emitting a spiritual fragrance. The spiritual objects considered precious in Yuanshan County were commonplace here. Along the way, Su Han passed by dozens of herb gardens, with the majority being from low-level to high-level. Among them, there were also four low-grade silver level, two mid-grade silver level, and one high-grade silver level herb gardens.

As for Gold Rank herb gardens, these were not seen—clearly, Gold Rank spiritual objects were also very precious to the Cold Cloud Sect.

“This kid, could it be that he has seen great sights? Walking through our Cold Cloud Sect, he doesn’t show a hint of astonishment,” Ling Qinghai mused as he occasionally glanced at Su Han. The reason he had taken Su Han away first was to let him see the foundation of the Cold Cloud Sect.

In Ling Qinghai’s view, Su Han was only about twenty years old and had been in Yuanshan County all this time. His first visit to the Cold Cloud Sect, upon seeing so many herb gardens and buildings, was bound to shock him.

If shocked to a certain degree, perhaps Su Han might change his mind and join the Cold Cloud Sect, becoming his disciple.

Clearly, Ling Qinghai was not willing to easily give up on Su Han’s astonishing talent.

However, he was disappointed.

Su Han’s delicate face remained calm, like a pool of clear water, without the slightest ripple.

Along the way, Su Han indeed observed his surroundings, but to Ling Qinghai, he seemed like someone accustomed to great sights. Not only viewing these herb gardens, Ling Qinghai felt that even if he offered all of them to Su Han, there wouldn’t be much change in his expression.

Such a state of mind inevitably made Ling Qinghai itch with curiosity.

“What a pity!” Ling Qinghai sighed inwardly, “With such a state of mind, such talent, he is bound to become a world-class powerhouse someday. If I, Ling Qinghai, could have a disciple like him, I might also reap considerable benefits.”

“Su Han, what do you think of this place?” he eventually asked as they walked.

Su Han halted, looked at Ling Qinghai, and nodded slightly, “It’s mediocre.”

“Just mediocre? Then take a look at this,” Ling Qinghai said, undeterred and waving his hand.

With that wave, the low-level herb garden next to Su Han began to change, appearing as if an illusion had been conjured.

The low-level herb garden vanished, and in its place, a vast expanse of spiritual objects shimmering with golden light appeared!

“Space?” Su Han looked at Ling Qinghai.

He could easily sense that Ling Qinghai’s cultivation of Dragon Qi was evolving towards the direction of Space Law!

Ling Qinghai apparently didn’t understand what Su Han meant, looked perplexed for a moment, and then said with a bitter smile, “I meant for you to see this patch of Gold Rank spiritual objects.”

Su Han glanced over the Gold Rank spiritual objects, his expression unchanging as he calmly said, “They are just some Gold Rank spiritual objects, not precious. Compared to these Gold Rank spiritual objects, your Space Law is what’s truly valuable.”

“Space Law? What do you mean?” Ling Qinghai asked, looking puzzled as he’d never heard of the term “Space Law.”

It was difficult for Su Han to explain on the spot, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “When you cultivate, consume more of the Spiritual Herb of the World and Hundred Wood Fragrant Flower or pills refined from these types of spirit objects. It will enhance your cultivation speed and base.”

Upon hearing these words, Ling Qinghai shuddered and stood frozen in his tracks.

He indeed did not know what Space Law was, nor had he ever devoured any such Spirit Grass of the World or pills like those mentioned by Su Han, but for some reason, when he heard Su Han’s words, suddenly he had a moment of enlightenment!

It was as if… he had grasped something within the mysteries of fate, yet he was unable to sort out this feeling in a short span of time.

Seeing him like this, Su Han continued, “This Illusion Realm, you created it, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

Ling Qinghai nodded, his gaze fixated on Su Han, devoid of the lofty demeanor typical of a Dragon God Realm powerhouse. All that was left was the eager appearance of a scholar awaiting guidance.

“Watch closely.”

Su Han pursed his lips, then suddenly waved his hand.

With the swing of his hand, a vast swath of golden light erupted forth.

That was the Dragon Qi from Su Han’s Dragon Veins, and not merely from twenty-two Dragon Veins, but a full forty!

This golden light emerged before Ling Qinghai, initially dazzling, then gradually its luminance faded. Just when Ling Qinghai was very puzzled, thinking the golden light would disappear, an astounding scene suddenly unfolded.

“This is…”

Ling Qinghai’s eyes widened, his face showing intense amazement!

Because the scene was like an entirely different world, completely inconsistent with the surrounding environment!

He saw within the scene a huge cliff surrounded by clouds and mist, its height indiscernible but emitting a pulse that quickened the heart.

There stood a figure atop the cliff, back turned to Ling Qinghai and Su Han, face unrecognizable.

The figure, with a wave of the hand, caused the cliff to vanish, the clouds dissipated, and a vast ocean emerged, with the figure standing on a small island at the heart of the sea, where waves thundered as if they could submerge the island at any moment.

Next, the figure shook his head, seemingly unsatisfied. With a second wave of the hand, the sea disappeared, replaced by a massive city.

The city teemed with countless people, and that figure stood atop the city wall.

Ling Qinghai’s eyes were glued to the changing scenes, or more precisely, to the waving of that figure’s hand!

With each wave, the scene transformed into another world, and with each wave, Ling Qinghai’s inner enlightenment deepened further!

Ling Qinghai did not notice that, as his enlightenment deepened, a vortex began to appear around his body. The vortex swallowed a tremendous amount of nature’s spiritual energy, and even the Spirit Grass in some of the nearby low-level herb gardens instantly withered, all of it entering Ling Qinghai’s body along with the vortex.

As time passed, Ling Qinghai faintly felt he was about to grasp that feeling, yet he couldn’t quite catch it!

“Ai…”

At a certain moment, a sigh suddenly resonated.

This sigh woke Ling Qinghai, and the scene, too, shattered with this sigh, disappearing into the world.

When he looked up again, the Cold Cloud Sect was still the Cold Cloud Sect, the herb garden was still the herb garden, as if none of this had ever happened.
