Chapter 523: Changes
At a glance, the space library was bigger and another floor had appeared.
"Immortal arts." Shen Xu muttered and excitedly picked up an alchemy tome.
"It’s just in time." Zhen Yuan said, walking to the geography section.
Soon after, each settled on a sofa and began reading.
The lower heaven of the immortal realm had thirty three major cities.
From what he read, Zhen Yuan learned that each city was affiliated with a major sect and the city lords were great immortal experts.
The major sects were the Ten Evils sect, the Feixian sect, the Flame Palace, the Buddhas Hall, and the Eastern Immortal Palace.
"Ayuan, do you want to join a sect?" Shen Xu asked.
After all, sects were the easiest way for lower heaven cultivators to go to the middle heaven.
"Let’s decide after we know more." Zhen Yuan said.
In addition to the library, the simulation room had also upgraded and could now simulate Immortal level arts.
Unfortunately, the two didn’t have Immortal level materials and couldn’t practice their arts.
"Our cultivation is high but our arts are stuck at level nine." Shen Xu said, feeling uncomfortable.
"We can study the theory and then practice when we get materials." Zhen Yuan said.
"Let’s do it."
Two thousand real years, equivalent to sixty thousand space years passed in the blink of an eye.
During that time, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan studied their arts and had become level thirteen masters.
"I feel more confident " Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan chuckled.
"We still have to turn theory into practice." The man said but Shen Xu didn’t care.
In the end, knowledge was everything.
Even though they hadn’t touched real materials, he was confident he would do well if asked to refine a level thirteen pill or weapon.
"Ayuan, I will take you somewhere." Shen Xu suddenly said and led Zhen Yuan out of the bamboo hut.
Soon after, the two arrived in the backyard and the double waved his hand, releasing the Mayfly.
"It has become a level thirteen ship." Zhen Yuan exclaimed and Shen Xu excitedly nodded.
"Not just that. Another storage room has opened." The double said.
Soon after, the two entered the ship and went to the newly opened store room.
Like the others, this storage room had three long tables and a storage ring was placed on each.
"Ayuan, what do you think is in the rings?" The double asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"We will know when we check." He said.
A moment later, the two walked to the first table and Shen Xu picked the storage ring.
After checking the contents, he turned to Zhen Yuan.
"It contains immortal level inheritances including weapons refining, puppetry, poison, culinary arts, and alchemy. Unfortunately, there are no materials." Shen Xu said, looking a little disappointed.
"The inheritances are enough." Zhen Yuan soothed.
Because the space was biased towards alchemy, the library was a little lacking when it came to other inheritances.
Thankfully, Father Shen had made up for this deficiency especially by providing poison and puppetry inheritances.
"You are right." The double said and led the way to the next table.
This storage ring contained one hundred low-grade immortal crystals.
Seeing the crystals, Shen Xu excitedly took one out and felt its rich immortal qi.
"Good." He said and smiled.
"You can use them when advancing a major realm." Zhen Yuan said.
"Mmh." Shen Xu nodded.
With that, the two moved to the third table and checked the storage ring.
This storage ring had a map and three places were marked on the map.
"It’s a map of the immortal realm." Zhen Yuan said.
"Does father want us to go to these places?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the marked places.
"Probably." Zhen Yuan said and suddenly frowned.
"Xiaoxu, take out your father’s letter." He said and Shen Xu immediately reacted.
Soon after, he took out the letter and placed it on the table.
Slowly, the two reread the letter and frowned when they reached the end.
"We still can’t read the hidden part." Zhen Yuan said and the double sighed.
"Let’s try again when our cultivation improves." He said.
With that, the two left the ship and began exploring the space.
After sixty thousand space years, the immortal aura was denser and most of the spiritual plants had fully or partly morphed into immortal plants.
"I can refine some pills." Shen Xu excitedly said and Zhen Yuan nodded.
"You can also brew some immortal wine." He said.
Another ten space years passed in the blink of an eye.
After refining the available immortal grasses into pills, Shen Xu brewed wine and prepared food with the space ingredients.
When everything was done, the two double cultivated for another year before leaving the space.
"Which direction should we choose?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the forest in front of them.
"Ayuan, can you see law pillars?" He asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"I suspect that we are in a barrier but the boundaries are too far and I can’t detect them." The man said and Shen Xu couldn’t help but frown.
"What a mess!" He exclaimed, sighed, and randomly pointed.
"Let’s go that way." He said and Zhen Yuan didn’t argue.
After dismantling the rebound formation, the two left the ascension pool area and began walking west.
From a distance, the forest looked dark and chaotic.
However, when they approached, they realised that the trees were evenly planted and resembled a garden rather than a wild forest.
"Could we be in an abandoned cave abode?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan shrugged.
"Maybe." He said.
The two walked for five months before seeing the barrier.
"This place is a folded space pocket." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.
"It will probably collapse when we leave." He said.
"Could father have arranged it?" The double asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.
"Maybe." He said, leading Shen Xu through the barrier.
Within the barrier was a peaceful, albeit dilapidated world but the outside was different.
As soon as the two exited the enclosure, they sensed the world change and the atmosphere became more oppressive.
A breath later, a loud roar broke the silence and the two exchanged a wary look.
"Could we be in a monster forest?" Shen Xu asked, his eyes filled with reluctance.
