Chapter 321: About the Next Space
"Aaaah..." Jiang Yue screamed and tried to pull Yu Nianzhen behind him.
"We know we are wrong." He quickly admitted their mistake.
"We are sorry master." Yu Nianzhen was also quick to apologise.
"Hmmmph." Yang Xu snorted and glared at the two.
If he didn’t move quickly, the two would have been caught in a space crack.
At that time, it would be too late to regret their actions.
"Alright, they know they are wrong." Bing Lan said and rubbed her husband’s shoulder to soothe his anger.
"Get up quickly and be more careful."
"Thank you, mistress." Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue said as they stood up.
Their attitude was quite solemn and their sworn brothers couldn’t help but want to laugh.
’It’s rare to see them being taught a lesson.’ Xuan Ke thought and looked at the two gloatingly.
"Thirty years in hell and thirty years in heaven." Jiang Yue looked at Xuan Ke and threatened.
"I am afraid I will disappoint you. I, Xuan Ke, wouldn’t make the mistake of flirting in a situation like this."
"What does a single dog know? Let’s talk again when you find a Taoist companion." Jiang Yue mocked and pulled Yu Nianzhen.
"Azhen, don’t care about the single dog. Let’s start mining."
"En."
When Xuan Ke heard that, he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
"Why do you insist on fighting him? Brother Jiang’s mouth is not what you can win against." Li Futian said.
His voice was full of sympathy and he looked at Xuan Ke like he was seeing a child that wouldn’t learn from their mistakes.
"There will be a day." Xuan Ke said and Li Futian sighed.
After that, the group began to mine.
Although the size of the mine was the same as that in the first space, the quality of the void stones was a lot higher.
With their experience, the six extracted the void stones in less than a month and divided them equally.
In that time, Jiang Yue adapted to the environment and danger of the space plane.
"Brother Jiang is very talented. You adapted quickly." Xuan Ke said, feeling a little envious.
"What did you expect from a genius like me?" Jiang Yue said proudly.
In fact, talent was one thing but the main reason was his soul power.
After he refined the soul flame seed and birthed a soul flame, his soul reached the peak of the fifth level.
With such a soul, Jiang Yue was more sensitive to his surroundings which allowed him to quickly adapt to the space plane.
"Let’s go to the core mine." Yu Nianzhen said and rubbed his husband’s hair.
"I wonder what we will get." Jiang Yue said excitedly.
The others had already gotten used to the treasures in the space plane.
However, Jiang Yue was a beginner and he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
"We have found void stone essence, herbs, a space seed, and an egg. Maybe we will get a repeat of one of them." Bing Lan said.
[XiaoYue, I think the egg is important to my contracted beast.] Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue startled.
[What do you mean? Did it show up?] Jiang Yue asked.
When Yu Nianzhen broke through to the qi transformation realm, he felt a contract with a demonic beast.
However, the beast had never appeared and Yu Nianzhen had been unable to find a trace of it in his body.
Since he didn’t know what was going on, he kept the matter at the back of his mind.
Unexpectedly, the contract reacted when they found the egg but the beast did not show itself.
[It didn’t show up but I felt its longing. It wants the egg.]
[How can this work? Is it treating you like a servant? It reacts when it wants something but doesn’t respond when you try to contact it?] Jiang Yue said angrily.
He always cared about this matter.
Unfortunately, he and Yu Nianzhen were helpless.
When he heard that the beast dared to communicate its longing but didn’t answer when they called, he was naturally indignant.
[Do you know what the egg is?]
[The egg and seed have the same effect. They both contain a lot of space laws and can enlighten the dao of space.]
[In that case, why didn’t it long for the seed?]
[Who knows.]
After that, the two fell silent.
As they made their way to the next mine, they tried to think about Yu Nianzhen’s contracted beast.
[Its ability should be related to space.] Jiang Yue said after a while.
[I figured. However, many demonic beasts have the space ability.]
[For now, let’s think about how to get the egg. Afterwards, we will teach it a lesson.] Jiang Yue said and his eyes filled with cruelty.
[Good.] Yu Nianzhen agreed and his lips twitched.
He knew his husband very well and felt pity for his contracted demonic beast.
However, his pity was only momentary.
Since the beast had gone out of its way to mess with them, Yu Nianzhen would not interfere with his husband’s punishment.
"We have arrived." Li Futian suddenly said and the group stopped.
"Our path has been quite smooth since we entered the space plane." Xuan Ke said.
"The space plane is dangerous and not a lot of cultivators dare to enter. Even if they enter, there are ten paths and not many chose the tenth path." Yang Xu said.
"We also have junior Li. Without him, we wouldn’t have made it so far in a mere two years."
"It’s what I should do." Li Futian said and everyone chuckled.
Soon after, they began to mine.
However, since this was the most dangerous area, not everyone was mining.
Li Futian entered the ancient palace to divine the situation in the seventh space while Jiang Yue and Yang Xu stood aside as guards. Their role was to protect Xuan Ke and Yu Nianzhen who were busy mining.
In this way, three months passed.
The group mined one hundred and forty-three pieces of high-grade void stones and finally unearthed the core treasure.
As usual, the core treasure was protected by a dense barrier of space cracks and the six could not get close.
"Before we take the treasure, I want to talk about the seventh space." Li Futian said.
He had just left seclusion and his face was unusually pale.
Looking at him, it was clear to see that the situation in the seventh space was not optimistic.
"Brother Li..." Xuan Ke called.
"From the first to the sixth space, I have divined countless times. Many times, I have foreseen injuries but I have never foreseen deaths."
When they heard that, everyone went pale.
They understood the gravity of the situation and couldn’t help but worry.
"For some reason, the last three spaces have merged to become one."
"Will the next space be the last?"
"It will be." Li Futian said and nodded.
"Brother Li, what else did you see?" Jiang Yue asked.
"So far, the space cracks have come and gone. However, the next space is different. The earth and sky are full of tears. It will be difficult to walk without falling into a space crack."
"What else?" Yang Xu asked.
He could tell that Li Futian had foreseen more dangerous things and he wanted to hear it all before making a decision.
"Some space cracks seem to be experiencing a storm." Li Futian said and everyone gasped.
If one fell into a passive space crack, there was still a chance to survive.
However, if they fell into a crack that was experiencing a space storm, the chance of survival was almost zero.
"What about the treasures?" Xuan Ke asked.
"It’s better than expected. There are many space treasures in the next space but..."
"We need life to get them." Bing Lan finished the sentence and everyone fell silent.
"We need to think carefully before we enter the next space." Li Futian emphasised and everyone fell into their own thoughts.
[Azhen, what do you think?] Jiang Yue asked but Yu Nianzhen didn’t answer right away.
In his heart, he had already decided to enter the next space but he was still worried about gains and losses.
[Azhen, I am glad we don’t have children.] Jiang Yue suddenly said and Yu Nianzhen looked at him in surprise.
[Master has his wife. Brother Li and Brother Xuan have their own paths and we don’t have to care too much about them. Without children and other worries, you and I can walk boldly. If we die, we have already bound our souls and are sure to meet in our next life.]
When Yu Nianzhen heard that, his eyes flew wide open and he subconsciously laughed.
’As expected, XiaoYue knows me the best. He can easily wipe out my worries and lead the way when I am lost.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and looked at his husband tenderly.
[XiaoYue, I love you.]
[I know. I love you too.]
After that, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue turned to the others.
"XiaoYue and I will enter the next space." Yu Nianzhen said.
