Chapter 42: Change of Space Master
"Give me a space? Old monk, you... what do you mean?" Helianuo was startled by Gong Sunjan's words. He had only heard of sending space rings and space necklaces, could it be that the space itself could also be used directly without relying on any carrier? In his haste, Helianuo forgot to continue speaking flattering words to Gong Sunjan and directly called out his nickname.
Although Helian Nuo's surprised expression made Gong Sunyang feel very pleased, the phrase "old monk" still choked him and he couldn't help but frown, thinking that I knew you were pretending to be polite and courteous just to please me, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and reveal your true nature so quickly!
However, Gong Sun Zhen was only slightly displeased in his heart and did not argue with He Lian Luo on the surface. Instead, he solemnly satisfied his desire for knowledge: "Indeed, for others, a portable space must rely on special materials as a carrier. It is precisely because of the extreme rarity of this material that owning a space ring has gradually become a symbol of status in the Youyue Continent. But you should know that even during the heyday of the Gong Sun family, no one in the direct line of descent wore a space ring, because the direct descendants of the Gong Sun family would automatically possess their own space upon birth!"
Is it one's own space? He Lian Nuo was moved by the words, and after being surprised, he also somewhat understood why the old monk would involuntarily reveal an extremely proud expression whenever his family was mentioned. Indeed, the innate talent possessed by this family had already reached a level that made any powerful force on the You Yue continent jealous!
Gongsun Rang habitually stroked the few whiskers under his chin, and continued with a self-satisfied tone: "To be honest with you, although space rings are extremely expensive, their production principle is actually quite simple. As long as suitable materials are found, any direct descendant of the Gongsun family can transfer a portion of their innate spatial cutting ability to create one. A single ring that makes everyone on the continent envious would be complete. However, my Gongsun family has always had a small population, and although our inherited space is vast, it will eventually run out. Therefore, according to our ancestors' rules, no matter how outrageous the price the outside world offers for the ring, we can only produce one every five years. Over thousands of years, that's just a few hundred rings in total. Adding to that the ones that have been lost or damaged, I'm afraid there are less than a hundred intact space rings left now!"
He Lian nodded in agreement, although he had never seen the space ring with his own eyes. According to He Lian's words, even if the He Lian family was a military god in the Tianfeng Empire, the head of the family, He Lian, had not had the opportunity to touch the space ring throughout his life. In fact, among the four major countries on the mainland, only the richest giant wood country lord had one, and the Longfeng Country Lord had proposed exchanging ten thousand hectares of land for this ring but was flatly rejected, which also shows the preciousness of this thing.
Gongsun Jian's expression turned somewhat melancholy as he spoke, clearly feeling a sense of shame towards his ancestors due to the decline of their once glorious and noble family. In fact, by his generation, the Gongsun family had already stopped producing space rings...
He Lian noticed the change in Gong Sun's expression and understood that he had fallen into reminiscence again, so she hurriedly took the initiative to change the subject: "Since that space is something the Gong Sun family was born with, and I'm not a member of the Gong Sun family, how could that space be given to me?"
Gongsun Jian closed his eyes and shook his head, seemingly trying to extricate himself from a bad mood. After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and replied in a low voice: "Indeed, the Gongsun family's Heavenly Gift space can only be transferred to materials in principle, but it absolutely cannot be transferred into the body of someone outside the Gongsun family. However, my current situation is special - I have already lost my physical body and become a soul that can only barely survive by inhabiting your body. This space would be useless to me now, so I might as well give it to you. Since this space relies on my soul to sustain it, I think that if you erase the imprint of my soul and use your own soul to control it, it should be possible for you to take ownership of it."
Khaleno was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly urged Gong Sun to teach him the heart decision of controlling space with his soul. This heart decision was quite complicated, and even though Khaleno had extraordinary talent, it took him more than a whole day to barely grasp it.
Just as they were about to transfer spaces, Gong Sunje warned for the last time: "Little one, you must not make any mistakes at the critical moment and ruin my good intentions. Remember, when I erase my own soul imprint, you must immediately use your own soul power to control it, otherwise even if you are just a step late, you will miss the opportunity!"
Khalin nodded heavily, he naturally knew that this was not the time to relax, and if he slowed down slightly, the space would become a masterless object and disappear without a trace, never to be found again in this lifetime.
Seeing Helian's serious look, Gong Sun felt satisfied and nodded. Then the soul body sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to eliminate the connection between the soul and the Heavenly Gift space.
Khalinuo saw the situation and quickly discarded his miscellaneous thoughts, making an effort to calm down and feel the spatial fluctuations within his body. He knew that the opportunity was only for a moment, and if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Gongsun Jian began to disconnect the soul from the Heavenly Gift space step by step. Although he had expected that this process would not be easy, the actual difficulty of operation was still far beyond his expectations. This soul imprint is actually an illusory thing and can only be perceived by feeling. First, one must achieve a state of no distractions in the mind, and the disconnection speed cannot be too fast, otherwise, if the connection is severed suddenly, He Lianuo may not have time to receive it. At the same time, care must be taken not to cause any damage to the space. With all these considerations, even Gongsun Jian felt that it was a bit tricky.
Although Helian was just a bystander, one look at Gong Sun's increasingly serious expression could tell that this space handover was not a simple task. Although anxious in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't help with anything, so he could only focus more intently on sensing the spatial fluctuations around him.
Suddenly, Helian's originally calm body suddenly shook, this shock was like a stone thrown into a pond, instantly stirring up even more intense spatial ripples. Helian hastily closed his eyes, tightly locking his divine sense onto Gong Sunje, not letting go of the slightest change.
This spatial fluctuation, once it erupts, will be hard to stop again. Instead, like a small tornado, it rapidly revolves around Gong Sun's soul body. Gong Sun's illusory long shirt is instantly torn apart by this spatial whirlwind. In an instant, he was stripped bare, and even the few strands of beard under his chin fluttered awkwardly with the whirlwind, as if they would be pulled out at any moment!
Suddenly, this whirlwind seemed to have lost its momentum and stopped rotating instantly. Gong Sunjian, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, suddenly
Open your eyes and shout loudly: "It's now!"
Without He Lianyu reminding him, He Lianuo had already noticed the change in the spatial whirlwind. As soon as the whirlwind stopped rotating, he immediately urged his divine sense to rush over desperately. The heavenly spatial seemed to have gained spirituality and suddenly broke free from its old master's control, unwilling to be controlled by humans again. Seeing He Lianuo's divine sense rushing over with a fierce momentum, it wanted to turn around and escape in the opposite direction. However, He Lianuo was well-prepared, and the heavenly spatial not only failed to escape but also crashed into the divine sense he had set up in advance. Before it could try again, other divine senses rushed over from behind, surrounding the heavenly spatial that attempted to flee.
Gongsun Yan, who was standing by, finally let out a sigh of relief as he watched the scene unfold. He knew that the Heavenly Gift Space's fate was already sealed and it was only a matter of time before Helian Nuo acknowledged its master. The previous process had consumed too much of his physical strength, and although he hadn't felt it earlier due to his tension, now that he relaxed, he could feel the exhaustion that came with being drained. Gongsun Yan couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes once more to recover on the spot.
Contrary to Gongsun's expectations, the Heaven's Gift space was surrounded that day. Although it still desperately struggled left and right, it could no longer escape Helian's control. Instead, in its struggles, it consumed a lot of energy, and before long, its movements slowed down. Seeing this, Helian was overjoyed and hurriedly urged his soul to move forward and begin subduing the precious Heaven's Gift space.
The most difficult part of this space changing hands was the handover of the soul, and once this pass was passed, there would be no more major challenges. However, just half a time later, Helianuo had already left his mark on that day's space.
He Lian Nu slowly opened his eyes, letting out a long breath of turbid air. Although his body was extremely exhausted, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of wild joy on his face. Despite his physical strength being extremely weak, he still couldn't wait to try and explore the mysterious aspects of this newly subdued space...
Kalein's divine consciousness slowly approached the Heavenly Gift Space, and this time there was no obstruction, but instead received an extremely obedient emotion. Kalein was slightly stunned, and then understood that it was the newly acknowledged space showing its courtesy to its master, and his heart couldn't help but feel even more delighted, taking big strides forward.
He Lianuo only felt his divine consciousness suddenly lightened, and a huge space appeared before his eyes. This space was extremely vast, estimated to be able to hold tens of thousands of people standing at the same time. In one corner of the space, a large number of items were neatly stacked, presumably the good things that Gong Sun had accumulated over the years.
"I didn't expect the old monk to be so generous this time, not only giving himself a heavenly space, but also throwing in many private collections for free!", He Lianuo was secretly delighted, and suddenly thought of the treasures worth a city in his package, he hurriedly opened his eyes, carefully took out a Soul Origin Sacred Fruit from the package, held it in his hand, stared at it with a thought, and indeed, the sacred fruit disappeared without warning.
He Lian hurriedly activated his divine sense to the Heavenly Gift space and took a look, and indeed, the missing Sacred Fruit was quietly staying beside that pile of items!
He could no longer hold back the wild joy in his heart, and Helianuo grinned foolishly as he held the package in his hand. With a flicker of thought, the package was transferred to his spatial storage, and with another thought, it reappeared intact in his hand!
After playing around for half a day, He Lianuo finally remembered that Gong Sun was coming and couldn't help but scold himself for being greedy. He quickly moved all the things in his hands into space and turned his head anxiously to look at Gong Sun...
At this sight, Helian Nuo couldn't help but burst out laughing...
Gongsun Zhan's eyes were slightly closed, focusing on his inner energy. The physical strength he had consumed earlier was slowly recovering after this half-day rest. His calm and serene expression, combined with the few strands of fluttering whiskers under his chin, gave off an otherworldly aura.
Gongsun Zhan's previous clothes made of soul force had been torn to shreds by the spatial whirlwind, and now he was left with nothing on his body, presenting himself in his most primitive state. His upper body was as thin as a stick, his skin slightly pale, but what caught the eye was the manhood between his knees, which stood proudly upright like a pillar supporting the sky!
