Chapter 830: The Space Changed!

The Space Changed! . . .

Erhuo could only let out a bemused "meow."

[Oh, the thief came to steal your fish and showed up before your eyes every single day... Really!]

[You just couldn't notice it. Just blame yourself!]

...

After a half-month passed.

"Ah..." Yue Changtian shouted in anger, his fury evident. "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, that fish thief... No wonder nobody showed up for days... That filthy thief has stolen my fish from the other side..."

...

One month later.

"Who is it... This is so weird... It doesn't seem to be human anymore..." Yue Changtian was on the brink of losing his composure. He gazed at Erhuo, his eyes filled with desperation. "Who on earth stole my fish? Why can you be so shameless? When is it going to end... I can't live with this anymore..."

Erhuo maintained an air of innocence. "Meow!"

...

The past month had been a delightful time for Erhuo. However, for Cha Eun Xiao, it felt like enduring thirty cycles of reincarnation!

Each day was akin to dying multiple times!

Following the torment came an astonishing revelation—the three elderly men were completely stupefied, shocked, astounded, and terrified. Cha Eun Xiao flawlessly completed every challenge!

At the culmination of the initial stage of the three-month ordeal, Cha Eun Xiao had exceeded expectations in three aspects!

[This is...]

"This man is not human! He's an absolute monster!" Lei Dadi was rendered speechless. In the end, that was the conclusion he arrived at.

Clutching the book that recorded the performance of those undergoing the special three-month training, Lei Dadi shook with astonishment. Every category in the book was marked with red checkmarks.

In the annals of history spanning tens of thousands of years, fewer than a thousand individuals had undertaken the three-month special training.

Each of them had a record book that documented their performance in the trials, which served as reference material for future generations. Those who couldn't endure for more than a month were not granted a place in the record books. Those who completed a single month were listed in the first book. Those who endured one and a half months were featured in the second book. The third book was reserved for those who lasted for two full months. Subsequently, every additional day mattered, with separate entries for those who endured two months and one day, two months and two days, and so on...

In the entire record of "one month" elite disciples, Cha Eun Xiao stood alone as the first person to achieve such perfect marks in the entire history of the sect!

The second-highest performer was the disciple hailed as the most gifted in the sect, who had completed a remarkable eighty percent of the challenges!

This feat already constituted a historic record that no other individual could hope to surpass!

And now, Cha Eun Xiao had shattered that record, establishing a new benchmark of perfection!

In fact, it was more than mere perfection. Cha Eun Xiao had surpassed expectations by a significant margin. For instance, he carried the water eleven times instead of the required ten. Instances like this were plentiful. He had consistently completed the challenges with over one hundred percent effort.

"The first stage is perfectly finished. Tomorrow, let's begin with the second stage, the second month!" Lei Dadi nearly teared up. He had never used the word 'perfectly' before in his life. He could envision Cha Eun Xiao evolving into a formidable cultivator with a foundation as unshakable as a million-meter-high building—a colossal domain of cultivation, impenetrable and indestructible. No matter how arduous the cultivation path ahead, he would prevail.

"If Chongxiao can complete the full three months of training and maintain his first-place record..." Yun Piaoliu was so elated that he was on the verge of tears. "Even if I die after these three months, I will die with a heart full of joy and contentment."

"We've concentrated on Chongxiao's training and neglected everything else. However, the Prime Master has convened meetings with the ten elders and ten great disciples on several occasions..." Feng Wuying informed them. "I've heard rumors of a thief within the sect."

"Nonsense!" Lei Dadi dismissed it indifferently. "A thief in our sect? Do they really expect us to believe that? They've likely been preoccupied with discussions about the secret organization and the conspiracy, and so they've concocted this story about catching a thief... It's a flimsy excuse that will only raise suspicions. How foolish!"

"That may be true..."

"I don't think it's just an act. Yue Changtian's treasured fish were indeed stolen in recent days. That part is true," Yun Piaoliu stroked his beard and commented. "I believe it's real. Yue Changtian is deeply troubled. He's typically calm and composed, except when it concerns his beloved fish. This situation is real; somebody has stolen his fish."

"That young man has lost his ambition due to those trivial amusements!" Lei Dadi rolled his eyes and grumbled. "He's the Prime Master of this esteemed sect! Yet he's engrossed in these idle pursuits to advance his cultivation. He should be dedicating himself to the path of cultivation and progressing step by step. Nobody can just leap to the pinnacle of existence! I'd love to see his foolish fish collection entirely stolen; perhaps it would lead him back to the proper path of cultivation."

Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback as he enjoyed a meal.

[Fish?]

[The Prime Master's fish are stolen?]

[This rings a bell...]

[Could it be...]

[Oh my heavens!]

[Where's Erhuo?]

He hastily checked the Boundless Space. He had been preoccupied with completing the tasks for the entire month, neglecting the Space. Upon inspection, he was utterly astonished. The Space was now suffused with purple qi, bathing the entire realm in its radiant hue.

[What on earth?]

[Great heavens! I haven't placed anything in the Space during this month! What's going on?]

[Why is it filled with purple qi? Where is this purple qi coming from?]

[This is...]

[Wait! Erhuo isn't here. Where is it?]

What surprised him even more was the presence of supreme dan beads on the jade plate within that secret tunnel, where Erhuo had resided as Brother Egg. There were roughly a dozen of these exceptional dan beads.

To suddenly have these supreme dan beads of such remarkable quality was an incredible revelation. Cha Eun Xiao was well-acquainted with Erhuo's nature. If Cha Eun Xiao didn't push it, it usually exhibited a lazy disposition when crafting dan beads.
