Chapter 1912: Chapter 1913: Twisted Space

“Where is this place?”

As Long Ao Tian led everyone directly into the gap that had momentarily opened, they found themselves in a chaotic void space.

In the entirely dark space, everyone could only rely on their senses to perceive the outlines of those around them.

“I don’t know, but it seems completely isolated from the outside world, possibly a Small Opening.”

Chen Mengmeng answered Xu Nanzhi’s question, while Bei Tang Qian Xiao suddenly brightened up and said.

“I’ve contacted Yu Shuang! She’s here just like us, and she’s right beside Yu Yanshu at the moment.”

The finally good news thrilled everyone; however, as they tried to move, they found themselves completely unable to ascertain any direction in this space.

Front, back, left, right, north, south, east, west—all directions seemed utterly disoriented in this space.

No matter which direction they walked in, it felt like they were stepping in place, unable to move an inch.

“What’s going on?”

Noticing the strangeness, Bei Tang Qian Xiao asked the others in puzzlement.

Xu Nanzhi didn’t immediately respond, instead looking at the others around her; though she had some speculations, she was keen on hearing the others’ opinions.

“The rules of this space are chaotic; the one who created this world twisted the laws of the entire space with powerful forces. Everything we are familiar with is disrupted here.”

Chen Mengmeng’s eyes emitted Rainbow Divine Light, using the Power of Cause and Effect of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, she directly deduced the cause from the current situation.

Deduce the cause from the effect.

This convenient method is why the Power of Cause and Effect is so coveted among cultivators.

“So, there’s no other way for us to meet up with them?”

“Not necessarily.”

Bai Qiu, hailing from the Immortal World, spoke. It was her first time encountering such a situation too, but she somewhat understood everyone’s predicament at the moment.

“The rules are indeed distorted, but the root cause is that the study-powerfully Created-space wasn’t fully shaped by the Power of the Heavenly Dao, which serves as the fundamental operating laws of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. The seven kinds of Heavenly Dao’s forces wouldn’t be affected. After all, they are the most basic laws constructing heaven and earth.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mengmeng was also enlightened: “No wonder I could deduce the current situation.”

“So, what’s the plan!”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao was a bit anxious, not only because she didn’t yet have familiarity with using her own Heavenly Dao’s power, but more importantly, she had sensed several tails following them as they entered this space.

Moreover, after entering this space, they had completely lost track of those who had been tailing them.

This rendered Xu Nanzhi’s earlier preventive measures utterly ineffective.

“Alright, Qian Xiao, don’t panic.”

Xu Nanzhi spoke to calm down Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s emotions; she realized that his emotions were near the tipping point and might lose control if provoked further by words. She turned to look at Chen Mengmeng.

“Mengmeng?”

Over there, Chen Mengmeng, evidently calmer than others, spoke, “I also contacted Sister Yu Shuang; she said she’s coming towards us.”

“Can she come over?”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao asked in surprise.

Xu Nanzhi shook her head: “I don’t know, but defeating her isn’t tough; Yan’er can certainly do it. This space, if my prediction is correct, should also be her creation.”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao, left astounded, looked around.

“Don’t tell me that little girl has also entered Hollow Vacuum by now.”

Xu Nanzhi blinked and said, “Bei Tang, are you really that concerned about your realm?”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao clenched her fists, restrained her emotions, and said: “If I said I don’t care at all, would you believe me?”

“Do you truly think you are inferior to Hollow Vacuum?”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao lifted his head and asked in confusion: “What do you mean?”

Xu Nanzhi did not speak right away; she glanced around and then said: “Mengmeng, can you give me a hand?”

Chen Mengmeng was taken aback upon hearing this, then hesitated and asked, “Sister Nanzhi, what do you plan to do?”

“The rules of this space are too chaotic, and with my powers, I can’t pinpoint that individual’s location.”

“You want to take the initiative?”

Chen Mengmeng asked in surprise.

“Yes, initially, I intended to act once we joined up with Yan’er and the others, but given that Bei Tang is so anxious now, taking pre-emptive steps wouldn’t hurt. We shouldn’t always let them seize the initiative.”

Saying that, Xu Nanzhi drew the Weak Water Sword and looked around.

“This place is a trap laid by Yang Chengyin to lure us here, aiming to unlock the Prohibition and find Yu Yanshu early. But facts indicate that this is likely another trap. The demonic path that had been lurking in Southern Xinjiang should have discovered this place long ago. They intentionally let Yang Chengyin find it, then threw the problem onto them.”

“Probably the work of that Demonic Path strategist.”

Having spent more time outside, Chen Mengmeng’s understanding of the demonic path was far more than Xu Nanzhi’s.

“Strategist? Their methods are somewhat decent, but masking head and tail, who knows what they’re plotting. Anyway, those who followed us in here are likely more than Yang Qianxing and Mo Ningchen; the demonic path people have also sneaked in amidst the chaos. If the two sides had no gaps, we indeed shouldn’t act recklessly. But clearly, the relation between Yang Chengyin and the demonic path is not particularly secure. This is our chance.”

With that said, Xu Nanzhi turned her gaze on Bei Tang Qian Xiao, feeling the solemn expression that Xu Nanzhi’s eyes conveyed, she asked.

“So, what do you want me to do?”

“I would team up with Mengmeng to locate one group of people, and you will handle that bunch yourself.”

“Just me?”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao asked in surprise.

“Yes, just you. Bai Qiu and Ao Tian have other tasks I need them for. As for Mengmeng and me, we need to stay by Yan’er’s side. After all, she’s the key to everything and our most crucial tool to find ChengYu. So, Bei Tang Qian Xiao, do you have the confidence?”

“Can confidence alone solve this matter?”

Bei Tang Qian Xiao laughed bitterly.

Xu Nanzhi shook her head and said: “But I have confidence in you.”

“Why?”

“Because of the Earth Core Lotus.”

Xu Nanzhi said, pointing her finger at Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s chest.

“You probably don’t yet know which Power of the Heavenly Dao you chose when Entering Void, correct?”

As Xu Nanzhi spoke, the hand placed on Bei Tang’s chest generated a stream of water, instantly flowing throughout Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s body.

Feeling the immensely familiar aura surrounding him, Bei Tang Qian Xiao asked in utter astonishment.

“Road of Destruction?”

“Yes, destruction.”

Beneath the flowing water, a black aura encircled; if Xu Nanzhi hadn’t revealed it voluntarily, no one would have guessed that underneath the peaceful mana, there was such an agitated aura flowing.
