Inside the secret space, Zi Jing was the only one who wasn't excited. The breakthrough in her cultivation had confirmed her suspicions; this wasn't the result she wanted.
The old man waved his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. He then looked at Zi Jing with a complicated expression and said, "I've taught countless students in my life, but none of them were able to take on the heavy responsibility of finding the Sequence Particle. Only you, Zi Jing, have shown such talent that even I can't compare to. Without you, this experiment would've been delayed for at least a thousand years, and it might've never been completed. You're the only one who can materialize the Sequence Particle."
Zi Jing was silent.
"Let's go. Since the experiment results are feasible, the next step is to create it. Only by creating the Sequence Particle can we become the rulers." The old man waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave. He then led Zi Jing to an even more secret space.
This space was dim, and there was a cloud-like energy floating in the air. Zi Jing had never been here before.
Zi Jing touched the cloud-like energy. "This is the energy of the Drifting Cloud Space?"
The old man nodded. "More accurately, it's the energy of the Drifting Cloud Space."
"The ruler of the Drifting Cloud Space?"
Zi Jing was shocked.
The old man led Zi Jing downwards as he said, "The Drifting Cloud Space is the space-time we're testing. Once we succeed, even the Eternals will be suppressed by us, let alone the Hexagon Organization. Our Ultra Space-Time will be the pinnacle of the human race …"
As they walked, the old man kept talking, as if he could already see the future.
Zi Jing narrowed her eyes. She didn't know how strong Ultra Space-Time was, but no matter how strong this space-time was, it had already been targeted by that person. How could it be good to be targeted by that person?
These people were too arrogant and had never looked down. Perhaps an incredible person had appeared in the space-time they didn't think highly of.
The further down they went, the more majestic the cloud-like energy became. It almost replaced the air, and they felt as if they were walking among the clouds.
The old man finally stopped in front of a large metal door. He opened it slightly, and an endless amount of cloud-like energy poured out. Zi Jing was so frightened that she kept retreating, her face pale.
"Take a look," the old man said.
Zi Jing walked forward step by step until she reached the metal door. She peeked through the gap, and suddenly, an eye appeared. It was bloodshot and filled with madness.
Zi Jing was shocked and kept retreating. She fell down, her eyes filled with fear as if she had seen a ghost.
The old man closed the door and looked down at Zi Jing. "What did you see?"
Zi Jing gulped and said fearfully, "One eye."
"What kind of eyes?"
"Eyes of madness, despair, and cruelty."
"And?"
The old man asked again.
Zi Jing closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she opened them again. "Tired, dead, and lifeless."
The old man clasped his hands behind his back in satisfaction. "Not bad. Tired and lifeless. Do you know who's inside?"
Zi Jing already had some guesses, but she didn't dare to believe it. She looked at the old man.
The old man said in a low voice, "Liuyun."
Zi Jing's pupils shrank. "The ruler of the Drifting Cloud space, Drifting Cloud?"
The elder replied, "That's him."
Zi Jing found it hard to believe that a Spatial Dominator was capable of changing the heavens and the earth. He had to be an Ancestor. How could such a person be imprisoned here? His eyes were filled with despair and deathly stillness. To him, living was more painful than death. How could such a person be the Lord of the Drifting Cloud Space?
"You're not qualified to know this at your level, but I'm sorry.
To show you how great Transcendence is and what kind of civilization you're serving, I'll make an exception and tell you that Drifting Cloud's power is enough to change the shape of the universe and transform the Drifting Cloud space. His combat power is at least five million. "
"Five million is an unimaginable number. It's a black energy source. How many black energy sources are there in Transcendence?
How many powerhouses of that level are there in the entire Six-Direction Society? "
"Even so, he was still captured, living a life worse than death. You should understand the power of Transcendence now."
Zi Jing took a deep breath. "I understand now."
The old man was satisfied. "That's good. In the future, Drifting Cloud won't be the only one imprisoned here. Every parallel universe, the Eternals, and even enemies of the Six-Direction Society might be imprisoned here. What we need to do is to make this possibility a reality and make Transcendence the true ruler. Zi Jing, look carefully. This is what you should be doing."
Zi Jing stood up and bowed deeply to the old man. "I understand, Teacher."
The old man smiled. "Very good. You made the Sequence Particles corporeal, turning the impossible into the possible. I believe that you will be able to research this cultivation technique sooner or later. Alright, you must be tired today. Go back and rest."
Zi Jing nodded and turned to look at the metal door. Progenitors were also imprisoned here. This was one of the Six-Direction Societies, Transcendence. They were researching and suppressing the power of Progenitors.
Once they discovered this power, the price they would have to pay would be too great. Path Master, I wonder what you will think when you see this power.
Neither the old man nor Zi Jing noticed that there was some dust on their bodies. The dust was inconspicuous, but it stuck to their clothes and followed them to the metal door.
Just as Zi Jing turned to leave, the dust suddenly turned into a cloud-like power that coiled around their necks, trying to strangle them.
This sudden attack was completely out of Zi Jing's expectations. She could only watch helplessly as a cloud-like force wrapped around her neck. She exerted force, and her breathing stopped. Her body was heavily smashed to the ground and dragged towards the metal door. It was the same for the elder. Just as they were about to hit the metal door, they heard a hoarse shout, "Run, now!"
Zi Jing's consciousness was blurry. Run?
Who told her to run?
At that moment, the power coiling around her neck suddenly disappeared, and figures fell from the sky. One of them was a woman who raised her head and screamed, "Release Lord Liu Yun!" Just as she finished speaking, her limbs suddenly broke and she disappeared. Blood spilled onto the ground.
The pungent smell of blood entered Zi Jing's nose. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a woman who had no limbs but a torso lying beside her. The woman was glaring at her with malevolent eyes.
Zi Jing's face was deathly pale. She stared at the woman without moving an inch.
"Transcendence, let them go. Let them go!" A hoarse voice came from behind the metal door. It was Liu Yun.
Only then did Zi Jing react. She trembled as she stood up. She had almost died just now.
Not far away, the old man coughed a few times. "My old bones almost died. You demi-humans are really ruthless. Since you made me angry, I will compensate you with the lives of a million demi-humans from the Drifting Cloud Space."
"Release Lord Liu Yun!" Behind him, several cultivators from the Drifting Cloud Space with horns on their heads fell to the ground. They had all lost their strength and were screaming in despair.
The old man waved his hand. He clearly didn't have much strength, but the horns on their heads all fell off automatically. They screamed in pain and fainted. The woman who had lost her limbs stared at the old man as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
Zi Jing stared at the bloody scene in shock. She couldn't react.
"Let them go! Let them go!" Liu Yun's voice came from the metal door.
He continued to scream.
The old man was unmoved. "Do you really think you can save them?
The substance of the Drifting Cloud Space has already been analyzed. We saw where you were and what you did. If it wasn't for the fact that we wanted to make the horns on your heads more active, we would have caught you long ago. Sigh, sometimes studying cultivation techniques comes with risks. "He coughed again.
"Come, Zi Jing, let's go."
Zi Jing stared blankly. "Teacher, they …?"
"Heh, they're just a bunch of test subjects who tried in vain to save Liu Yun. For the sake of the horns' activity, I tolerated them and gave them some hope. Now that they've found Liu Yun, they're excited. Look, these horns are much brighter than usual," the old man said proudly.
Zi Jing moved her finger. "Yes, they're much brighter. What about them?"
"Hyperspace, let them go. Let my people go." Liu Yun's voice became deeper and hoarser, filled with despair and deathly stillness. He was clearly a Progenitor who had cultivated to the peak of human theory, but he had still been reduced to a prisoner.
The old man looked at the metal door. "Liu Yun, which batch are they?"
"Let them go."
"Is that all you know how to say?
I gave them hope so that they could at least hear your voice before they die. They should be satisfied. "
On the ground, the limbless woman's eyes were about to pop out. She muttered something, and the hatred in her eyes made Zi Jing's heart tremble.
The old man shook his head. "Soon, more demi-humans will come to save them. The horns of these demi-humans are the best test subjects." With that, he turned around. In an instant, all the blood and corpses disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
Just as the old man had said, they had already thoroughly studied the substance of Liu Yun's space. These people were also a type of substance, so it was not difficult to make them disappear.
With a boom, the ground trembled. Beneath the ground, the energy of Liu Yun boiled, trying to get close to the old man and Zi Jing but unable to do so.
Not long after, Zi Jing arrived at the bottom of the stairs. Flowers were still blooming, and laughter was everywhere. Just a moment ago, she had faced mountains of corpses and seas of blood and seen pairs of despairing eyes.
"I'm sorry to have frightened you." A pleasant voice sounded.
Zi Jing knelt on the ground. "I dare not."
"If one day, an expert like Liu Yun kneels in front of you, what will you think?"
Zi Jing was stunned. Liu Yun kneeling?
She remained silent and lowered her head, not replying.
The perfect woman did not rush her either. She was very quiet.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Zi Jing finally spoke. "Will such a day come?"
"Who do you want to kneel in front of you?
“。
Zi Jing gulped and lowered her head. "I understand."
"Go to the Taiyi Universe and see Xuan Qi. He has done well. Whether it is the Void God Civilization or the Lost Clan, he is very talented."
"Yes," Zi Jing said.
After Zi Jing left, a voice said, "Why did you let her see Xuan Qi?
Xuan Qi is already a member of the Void God Universe. "
"The constant stimulation of life and death has ignited her ambition. It is easy for her to lose control. Xuan Qi is the thread that can control her."
"Can Xuan Qi do it?"
"Of course, Xuan Qi is outstanding, isn't he?
Maybe we can help Xuan Qi and make him more outstanding, so he is worthy of Zi Jing. Maybe he can become a platform for us to analyze the Void God Universe. "
"I understand."
