Chapter 938: Seeking Gold Across the Rift
Chapter 938: Seeking Gold Across the Rift
After discussing matters with the Lan Shen Gu siblings, Chen Chuan chatted with them about Central City and enjoyed a cup of tea. He bid them farewell and left the square, glancing back at the former Ferris Wheel ruins, now the site of the Original Person Company's temporary office. The actual headquarters was under construction in Hong Sheng District.
As he walked, he noticed a family of three taking photos at the Ferris Wheel ruins. The father carried his son on his shoulders, the boy's laughter filling the air. A passerby was asked to take a photo, capturing the family's joy against the backdrop of the sea. This moment, frozen in time, would become a cherished memory for generations.
Chen Chuan smiled and turned away, leaving the square. He drove out and headed back to the villa.
That evening, he joined his younger aunt's family for dinner and watched a city program before retiring to his private meditation room with his belongings.
Seated cross-legged, he opened the box and took out a piece of Six Yang Gold, placing it before him. With the infusion of spiritual power, the gold began to melt and merge, absorbing into his brow.
The familiar process was quicker than before, and within half an hour, he had absorbed one piece. He continued with the second and third pieces...
This time, he didn't completely melt the Six Yang Gold but stopped with two pieces remaining.
He clearly felt that even with these two pieces, it was far from enough to fill the void within.
Although he believed he could wait or find other ways to collect more, it would be too slow and time-consuming, possibly taking months or longer.
Continuously collecting Six Yang Gold might leave traces and attract unwanted attention.
He had to take matters into his own hands.
Fortunately, the Snow Lady Saber had awakened from its slumber. Standing up, he approached the sword rack, slowly drawing the blade from its sheath and holding it horizontally by the hilt. He gently brushed the back of the sword, and it seemed to sense his will and intentions, trembling slightly.
Grasping the sword with both hands, he stepped into the center of the field where the mystical diagram was drawn. With a swift motion, he slashed at the air in front of him!
In an instant, a shimmering rift appeared, and a radiant light shone through, illuminating him and the entire area.
He focused on the rift, and at his third tier, the World Ring's suppression only allowed him to open a small fissure. But now, both he and the Snow Lady Saber had changed.
This time, the rift opened as wide as it had initially, creating a gap tall enough for a person, and it didn't immediately close.
Despite the World Ring's influence, causing the rift to shrink immediately after opening, it was wide enough to remain open for several hours without issue.
With a flourish, he spun the sword and stepped through the rift. Inside, he saw a dazzling white light, and almost nothing else, just like his previous visits.
However, this time, his second self showed signs of slight virtualization, constantly sensing an omnipresent invasion.
He didn't use his spiritual fire to resist, as it would be like holding a torch in the night, revealing his presence.
Just as in the Fusion Zone, in this dangerous realm, he was both hunter and prey.
Glancing back, he noticed the rift had narrowed slightly.
In the past, when the World Ring had a gap, if there was a connected object outside, even if the rift closed completely, it could be found. But now, things were different. Once the rift sealed, it might not be possible to locate the exact original spot, although it likely wouldn't deviate too far. But if the rift appeared outside, that would be a problem.
His time was limited, and he couldn't stay here indefinitely. The constant invasion threatened to erode him without sufficient resistance.
He surveyed his surroundings; the light was blinding, and aside from the radiance, nothing seemed to exist, let alone finding what he sought.
However, he understood that it was a matter of perception. Viewing this realm through the lens of the material world revealed only the dazzling light.
Focusing forward, his brow glowed faintly. In a moment, the world before him transformed.
The blinding light faded, revealing countless colorful objects resembling plants, each radiating a brilliant, tangible light, like clusters of crystallized gems.
In the heart of the World Ring, where the material and spiritual realms intersect, most beings exist in a delicate balance between the two. Yet, some entities manage to straddle this boundary, finding acceptance in both worlds.
However, these beings are not always stable, appearing to be present one moment and vanishing the next. Some last for extended periods, while others are fleeting, disappearing so quickly that he can barely perceive their entire existence, only sensing their presence through his heightened spiritual awareness.
This reminds him of Mr. Mask's description of Six Yang Gold, which might be similar in nature.
With that in mind, he decides to search for it.
He walks forward, holding his blade, and notices that while the surroundings appear uniform, the existing entities are diverse. Almost nothing is identical, and even those that look similar are fundamentally different.
The place is not devoid of life, but it manifests in peculiar ways. Shadows and floating filaments drift about, yet when they sense the radiant glow from his forehead, they instinctively avoid him.
After searching for several hours, he doesn't find what he's looking for, but he isn't discouraged. This trip is primarily for reconnaissance, to familiarize himself with the environment, and he doesn't expect to succeed on the first try.
As the rift begins to close, he returns just before it seals completely. He takes a final glance around.
During his absence, some entities had indeed slipped through. Once in the material world, they transformed into different forms. Strange insects now crawl on the floor, but his Mystic Rite keeps them at bay. Some scurry across the ground, while others dance in the air, seeking an escape route.
Chen Chuan glances at them, and a radiant light akin to the sun flashes from his body, instantly turning the insects into puffs of black smoke. In the air, smaller, nearly invisible entities are also purified, leaving behind only wisps of smoke.
He allows the rift behind him to close slowly and sits down on the soft pad in the middle, pondering his next move.
Searching randomly is like finding a needle in a haystack.
The 1619 book bar version is error-free, but information about this is tightly controlled, likely for security reasons.
He'll have to figure it out himself, but he's not entirely without clues. Why can Divine Manifestation fighters perceive these entities?
Is it because their divine trance state is expansive?
Not necessarily. As far as he knows, Divine Manifestation fighters, for their cultivation, cannot roam freely but must remain in a familiar area. This limits their time to search for these entities.
Mr. Mask mentioned that Six Yang Gold is everywhere in that world, and bringing it back is relatively easy, as long as one doesn't bring too much at once.
Everywhere, huh...
He ponders the spiritual realm, and a thought strikes him.
Perhaps it's a matter of different biofields.
Crimson Whisk and Chi Mu both create almost entirely realistic biofields. Within their domains, it's like being in another world.
This is due to their powerful spiritual energy. In the other world, anything that can maintain its existence must have its own biofield, which he has just proven.
These entities may not have a vast biofield like Crimso Whisk or Chi Mu, but they still form unique, miniature biofields. When they can no longer sustain themselves, they enter that disappearing state.
So, is Six Yang Gold like this?
If so, how should he search for it?
An idea forms in his mind, and he turns to look at the remaining Six Yang Gold pieces by his side, thinking he can give it a try.
He cleans up the area, rechecks the Mystic Rite to ensure there are no gaps, and then consumes some high-energy nutrients to replenish himself. He picks up the Snow Lady Saber and once again slashes open a rift to the other side.
He takes out one piece of Six Yang Gold and holds it in his hand.
The object sits there, but after a while, without any warning or signs, it suddenly vanishes from his hand.
In that fleeting moment, a faint glow flickers on his forehead, as if capturing something.
