This space was completely grey!
Grey sky, grey earth, grey clouds, and grey pneuma!
To be precise, there was no sky or earth. It was just a world of grey pneuma, which was somewhat like a hollow. However, so much pneuma could not be found in a hollow.
“Haha. It’s really a good place. To my surprise, the density of pneuma here is as the same as that of in the Azure Secret Area. But it’s too desolate compared with the Azure Secret Area. Except for pneuma, there’s nothing at all!”
Yeah, nothing existed here except pneuma!
Zhou Bao straightened his back and withdrew the Furnace of Immortality. He stretched his body and could not help but laugh. His injury caused by the impact just now had completely been cured. Other than that, he felt that his body was much stronger and tougher than before, which was really out of his expectation.
“It seems to be the merits of the remains of Innate Deity. It really deserves the reputation for bringing me so many benefits. But it’s a pity that I cannot fully display its power. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been beaten so heavily today, like a dog being chased. People of Divine Wind Palace, I don’t care whether he’s your man or not, I’ll seek revenge against you!” Zhou Bao thought ferociously. He sat cross-legged in this grey space. Then, he emitted his spiritual mind towards four directions just like a radar and began to search this place.
Unlike Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven, this place was an incomplete space. It had not generated a basic Principle of Great Ways, let alone a Primeval Beast or Core of the World. After all, it was only a space-time rift with abundant pneuma.
However, this was what Zhou Bao needed, a space-time rift with ample pneuma. Although it did not possess any complete Dharma, people inside it would not be restricted by Dharma from any other space. It was a free place.
“Good. It’s really nice. Now, I’ve found this place. The only thing I need to do is to capture this space!” It was not difficult for Zhou Bao. He had gained much experience in the Azure Secret Area. Therefore, he had a good comprehension toward an independent space. Green Spirit had also explained to him how to capture a space-time rift like this in details.
This was a space-time rift under the compression of hundreds of millions of spaces. It had no Dharma, stable Spatial Core, or Primeval Beast. In a certain sense, nothing could restrict it. However, if you gave it a Spatial Core, things would be different.
What Zhou Bao needed to do was to give it a core.
Every space had a core, but its size depended on the condition of its evolvement. The core of this space-time rift was very small, without a fixed form. Zhou Bao needed to use his Furnace of Immortality to extract this core. After that, he had to refine it and add some basic principles to it. After all that, this space would be under his control.
It sounded easy, but it was quite difficult and troublesome when he took actions.
Furnace of Immortality was a fairy weapon. But now, it could only be considered as a Taihao Fairy Weapon. Though it was extremely powerful, it was not powerful enough to refine a Spatial Core. Luckily, there was Tusita Fire inside the furnace, a kind of fire that shared the same property with Heavenly Fire. Hence, Zhou Bao was able to successfully refined this core, although it took him a lot of time. He spent three years in this grey space in order to refine the Spatial Core.
Three years!
This space had no clock. However, Zhou Bao’s current cultivation and spiritual mind were more precise than a clock. He stayed in this space for three years and finally refined the Spatial Core. Of course, he obtained a lot during this period. In the refining process, while the Spatial Core was changing, some strange changes had taken place in this chaotic space.
The grey pneuma gradually began to differentiate from each other. Furthermore, gravity became more evident. Although it was still faint, Zhou Bao could feel it clearly.
The grey pneuma was no longer an undifferentiated mass. It began to divide into Yin and Yang two properties. Zhou Bao found that although it was immense, it was also chaotic at the same time. It could be transformed into any type of pneuma he wanted. When he practiced Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, it turned into Real Essence of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique with the cultivation method operating. As he practiced Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, it transformed into Real Essence of Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique. Furthermore, while he was practicing Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, it turned into pneuma of Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill. However, when he practiced different cultivation methods, its consumption was different. This grey pneuma was heterogeneous as if it consisted of all kinds of essences of the world. However, with the refining of Spatial Core, Zhou Bao finally differentiated all kinds of pneuma, although he only categorized them as Yin and Yang.
This result made him have a strange feeling as if he had separated heaven from earth.
Three years later, after he had refined the Spatial Core completely, the Yin and Yang Qi of this space totally disintegrated. Apart from Yin and Yang Qi, there was another strange spiritual Qi. It was neither Yin Qi nor Yang Qi, but a unique spiritual Qi that was closely related to this space. Zhou Bao knew that it only belonged to this space, just like Divine Energy of Azure Clouds, which only belonged to the Azure Secret Area.
Exhaling gently, Zhou Bao looked at the newly created Spatial Core.
“Is this the Spatial Core of this space? It’s not eye-catching at all!”
Yes, it was ordinary, just like this grey space. It was an irregularly shaped small stone about the size of a fist. If it was put on the roadside, no one would pick it up.
Because Zhou Bao was the refiner, he could feel the immense spatial spirit and waves emitted from the stone. It was so powerful, but at the same time, so unfathomable.
Watching the newly-created Spatial Core, Zhou Bao was eager to return home as soon as possible.
Three years! He had stayed here for three years!
He had stayed here for a full three years. If it was not to refine this core, he would not have delayed his time for so long. However, without this Spatial Core, he was unable to control this space. Then, he would not be able to make use of these spatial waves to find his way home.
That was to say, he had to stay here for three years to refine this space. Only in this way could he return to his world.
Now the Spatial Core was created. The only thing left was to fix this space and bring it to his world.
He got to use his Taihao Fairy Weapon, the Furnace of Immortality, to fix this space. At that moment, he felt like a Great Ancient Emperor because he controlled a space. It was far from perfect compared to Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven, which belonged to 33 Heavens. However, there are only 33 of them in 33 Heavens. Also, most of them disappeared in the depths of the hollow. Currently, people could only find the shadows of Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven.
It was not difficult to use Furnace of Immortality to fix this space because its Spatial Core was refined with this furnace. But similarly, it took Zhou Bao a lot of time. After he finished everything, half a year had passed.
“It’s really big!”
After putting this space into his Furnace of Immortality, Zhou Bao felt helpless. He found that his furnace changed too. The immense essence of the world was infused into the furnace through this space. After the refining of Tusita Fire, it turned into the purest pneuma, seeping into the furnace.
The furnace became much more powerful, but similarly, it was more difficult for Zhou Bao to operate it.
From his perspective, his furnace had now become thousands of times heavier than before. He felt that it was extremely difficult for him to operate it.
Currently, he was still able to operate the furnace, but he could only use it once. He no longer was able to use the furnace to fly and conquer enemies.
“Damn it! It’s really troublesome!” Since he had sensed the condition of his furnace, he felt angry. But he had no other choice. He could not solve this problem with his current cultivation and knowledge. He immersed his spirit and spiritual mind in the Spatial Core and began to find the source and path of spatial waves that had shown up earlier.
He had to find two places. One was Blue Whale Island, where he had acquired the information about this space during the opening of Taiyuan Heaven. The other was a mysterious place that had suppressed 81 Primordial Celestial Dragons. Although he did not have the guts to go there, he could make use of the Spatial Core to find the path, through which he had entered this space three years ago. He dared not go there currently, but it might be very useful in the future.
The Spatial Core was a slit of the whole space-time. It was also the core of this small space-time rift, through which Zhou Bao successfully found what he wanted. He felt delighted.
He jumped up, transformed into a cyan light, and entered the Furnace of Immortality. Later on, that furnace began to shake and turned into a dazzling golden light. Swoosh! It disappeared from this grey space.
After that, the space began to shake, and grey fog tossed continuously. After a while, the entire space returned to normal. It was grey as usual. The only difference was that it began to have directions, sky, earth, and clouds after the Yin and Yang pneuma differentiated from each other. The sky was completely covered by grey clouds, and the earth was made up of thick grey pneuma. It seemed very strange.
In another space, present world.
On Blue Whale Island, a Space Storm that would only appear every 1,000 years took place. However, it was so much smaller compared to the storm in Taiyuan Heaven, which appeared every 1,000 years. After the storm died out, a disheveled teen dressed in cyan clothes abruptly showed up on Blue Whale Island. He breathed deeply and disappeared with a gust of weird wind.
