Chapter 42
🕑 Added 2022-09-24 18:39:05 +0000 UTCAfter Ji Xian entered the black spatial door, he immediately felt solid ground beneath his feet. After taking a glance at his surroundings, he realized he was on a large platform that was over three hundred meters long. This area was isolated from the water and yet, he was still able to see outside the formation. He even spotted Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin.
It’s like I’m in a snow globe but only I can see what’s going on outside and others cannot see what’s going on inside.
Ji Xian wasn’t too surprised after this discovery as many formations that he knows of can have similar effects.
So far, other than the way this formation was made and that corrosive Essence, it isn’t all that different from the formations I’m familiar with. But a formation at this level isn’t easy to make.
After a brief thought, Ji Xian looked ahead.
Towards the end of the platform, lies an altar. Two tall poles the height of an adult man stood to the left and right of the altar and above the poles was an unmoving green flame. Hovering above the middle of the altar was a slit in space that was about two meters long. Specks of light can be seen inside and occasionally it would emit delicate spatial fluctuations.
Ji Xian took one step forward and appeared right before the slit. He inspected it, putting his face just an inch away from it. His eyebrows raised with confusion before he backed away and circle it to give a closer examination.
After a while, he stopped and flipped his hand. A mace appeared in his palm and without a change in expression, he threw it at the slit.
To Ji Xian’s surprise, the slit stretched and swallowed the mace, its fate unknown.
If anyone saw what he had just done, they would’ve cursed at him because the mace he just casually threw away was at the Holy grade! A weapon at this level was already at the limit of the Lower World, yet Ji Xian just threw it away like it was nothing.
After seeing what happened to the mace, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
After a while, he stretched out his hand and two items appeared in his palm. A dagger and a rope. From the glow that they emitted, it was obvious that both items are at the Holy grade.
Ji Xian quickly tied the rope to the dagger and while tightly holding the rope, he threw the dagger at the slit. As he expected, the slit opened up and swallowed the dagger.
Immediately he felt a tug causing his grip on the rope to tighten. After an entire minute, his arms burst with muscle and he pulled the rope back. The slit opened once more and out comes the dagger.
With the dagger back in his palm, he took a careful look at it. The dagger no longer glowed as brightly as before and there were also dozens of chips on the blade along with small cracks.
The end of the rope that was tied to the dagger also showed signs of damage. If Ji Xian had waited any longer to pull the dagger back then the rope would’ve no doubt snapped.
After some contemplation, he turned his focus back on the slit hovering above the altar, he muttered to himself, “This should be a chaos tunnel. Similar to a teleportation formation, it sends you from one place to another but the requirement to use the chaos tunnel is much harsher and it isn’t instantaneous.”
A light flickered in Ji Xian’s eyes and his mouth curved into a big smile.
It hasn’t been long since I arrived in this world and there’s already so much to discover. I wonder what’s on the other side of this. Whatever it is, it should be related to them that I keep hearing about.
Ji Xian stared at the chaos tunnel with a noticeable excitement in his eyes. He wanted to jump in and let it take him to where ever. Adventuring in the unknown, this was the side of him that even Xia Lihua has never seen.
To her, Ji Xian is always mysterious and his ambitions unknown but little did she know that for him, who does not originally does not belong to this Universe, everything that he discovers is fascinating. He has no goals and no motivation, everything is just a means to an end for him to adventure and explore every corner of the universe.
After staring at the chaos tunnel for a while, the light in his eyes fade and his excitement vanished.
Letting out a sigh, he muttered, “Unfortunately, I still have responsibilities. Maybe after I resolve the situation with the Mortal Haven World.”
Ji Xian took out more items from his spatial ring as he wanted to continue to experiment with the chaos tunnel. He didn’t have a lot of knowledge about it so he wanted to take this time to learn more about it.
Suddenly, he noticed something that he had missed before due to his excitement. The amount of spatial fluctuation that it was emitting was increasing and at a shorter interval.
With a frown, he retrieved all the items he took out and jumped a hundred steps back.
Not long after, the spatial fluctuations seem to have reached their peak, the chaos tunnel suddenly opened, and out came two beings.
Ji Xian took a careful look at them. The two beings were both males standing side by side, the one to the right had short spiky hair while the one to the left had his hair tied up. The two gave off auras similar to the Peak of the Holy realm.
Ji Xian’s eyes widened after seeing these two, not because of their cultivation but because of their appearance. The two of them are translucent! He can see through their bodies! Of course, it wasn’t correct to say they were entirely see-through, their bodies were a little foggy and were filled with subtle sparkling lights of all colors.
