Chapter 109: Another Heterogeneous Space

  After fleeing for nearly six days, the three finally arrived at the "plain" in Qin Xiao's mouth. The location was more remote than Zuo Xiaoyao had expected. Looking at this small plain in front of her, she saw that the screen on its surface would automatically change and display clear and detailed images, comparable to the effects produced by modern high-tech computer projectors. The only difference was that it didn't make any sound, but at the same time, it also gave off a mysterious feeling similar to the mirage that occasionally appears in the ocean.

  All that can be seen are the people in the painting, mostly in tattered clothes, constantly fighting for just a little food. Humans often have to venture into the primitive forest where ferocious beasts roam, and life-and-death struggles occur. The harsh environment of survival is something that Zuo Xiao Yao has never personally experienced, whether in modern times or after coming to this strange world.

  "Brother Zhuge, have you ever been to this place?"

  There was a space full of stalactites, and at first glance through these images, it was determined that although humans survived there, it was very likely to be an alien space independent of but attached to the world under their feet. Xiaoyao asked while sighing in her heart that there were many mysterious things in the vast void, far beyond what she could imagine.

  Similarly shocked by the incredible scene for the first time, Zhuge shook his head and muttered in a somewhat uncomfortable tone, "No, when I explored this wilderness for the first time, because I didn't sense anything unusual in this area near the edge of the thunderstorm, I was careless and didn't conduct a thorough search like I did in the middle region. Who would have thought that I actually missed such an important discovery? The secrets contained within this wilderness are truly numerous!"

  Qin Xiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, because it's really impossible to make progress here, and my cultivation can't break through. In recent years, except for occasionally going to the mortal world, I've spent most of my time in this desolate land. The more places I visit, the more anomalies I see, but I realize that with my current strength, I don't even have the qualifications to explore deeply. It's fortunate that I was able to enter that other space back then, but unfortunately, the gains were limited!"

  "Peace is a blessing, entering a different world. We can reunite safely, it's already a great fortune. I believe everyone has their own encounters, and Brother Luo's gains there will not be small either. With the cooperation of our three people, we must succeed in helping Brother Luo, or rather, all of us escape smoothly!"

  The smile at the corner of her mouth was warm, and Zuo Xiaoyao's eyes were firm. Her tone was also very confident. Although they seemed to have the freedom to move around in this world, their cultivation couldn't get any closer. For them as cultivators, this world itself was indeed a prison.

  Perhaps it was due to Zuo Xiaoyao's strong confidence that infected them, and the slightly solemn expressions of Zhuge Jinyu and others also relaxed. As modern cultivators with decent foundation-building skills, their mental state naturally surpassed that of ordinary people. Their ability to withstand difficulties and hardships was stronger, and they could adjust their emotions and state faster in any situation.

  "There are three points around here with very obvious spiritual power fluctuations. We all tried to attack them last time, but ended up returning empty-handed. This time, let's join forces and attack together, hoping to gain something!"

  Leading the two to a small mound about five hundred meters away from that 'projector', he gestured for them to look at another object that had not yet appeared, but the spiritual energy around the mound was exceptionally dense. Qin Xiao introduced with an expectant glint in his eyes.

  As he walked forward, he looked at the small mound in front of him, which was their next target. He raised his eyes again to look at the "plain" that was still performing various human dramas, and compared to it, the terrain was much lower. Liu Xiao Yao also felt a sense of emotion in her heart, hoping that their joint efforts could help Ruo Man Tian escape smoothly. Although the three of them were not clear about how to do it, they didn't know what the real situation was like in that strange space-like place. Even through the "Plain Broadcast", they already knew something about the environment there.

  They had agreed on a signal to strike at the same time, and were waiting for each of them to get ready. Suddenly, Zuo Xiao Yao thought of a question "I wonder if Brother Qin has ever directly attacked that place?"

  Following her gaze to the 'Plain', Qin Xiao nodded "Of course! Moreover, that place was once my main goal, unfortunately, it was also a futile attempt. Even if I exhausted all my spiritual power, I couldn't get any reaction from it. In comparison, when I previously injected spiritual power into these three points, I could clearly feel the spiritual power gradually penetrating deeper after breaking through some obstacles, which is more suitable for making breakthroughs!"

  As the three spiritual forces were almost simultaneously injected into the small block of spiritual fluctuations at the top of the small earth package, as one of the sources of spiritual power supply, Zuo Xiaoyao clearly felt that things were indeed as Qin Xiao said. After being slightly hindered during the process of injecting spiritual power, it went deeper inside, but didn't know what existed below.

  As time flew by, two hours passed quickly, and the three people who were constantly pouring spiritual power into that point began to feel tired. Another hour passed, and not only did Qin Xiao's handsome face show signs of exhaustion from the depletion of spiritual power, but even Zhuge Jinyu's usual calm and collected demeanor was beginning to crack, her normally pale skin now deathly pale, giving off a sense of weakness.

  Although Zuo Xiao Yao had a higher cultivation level, she possessed even more abundant spiritual energy. However, because her revealed cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, she intentionally showed weakness and didn't use her full strength. Yet, she also managed to make it seem like her spiritual energy was about to be depleted, looking as if she had reached her limits, just like the other two.

  It's always good to leave some room for oneself, that is, a way out. If the combined efforts of the three people are still unable to overcome it, Zuo XiaoYao wouldn't have any doubts even if she used her full strength. The outcome would likely be about the same, at most only prolonging the time they could hold on.

  As the spiritual energy continues to flow downward, it encounters greater resistance and its consumption speed accelerates. However, the three people's bodies have an increasingly insufficient supply of spiritual energy.

  The three of them looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. They smiled wryly and shook their heads. Zuo Xiao Yao spoke up first, "Let's just drop it!"

  No matter how reluctant one may feel, as a cultivator, whoever is faced with such a predicament can only temporarily retreat and come up with another plan. Blindly charging forward will inevitably yield limited results.

  Because they are still familiar with this side of the world, and at the same time, they are also very certain that in this endless barren land where no grass or trees grow, there are no wild beasts that may be unfavorable to them, or pose a threat. Therefore, Zuo Xiao Yao and the other two dare to recklessly consume their spiritual power without restraint, and try their best to investigate.

  Helpless to do anything else, they didn't even discuss whether they needed to take turns keeping watch to prevent any external disturbances from disrupting their recovery of spiritual power. Each of them took out various medicinal pellets or spirit stones that could be used for recovery from their storage bags and sat down on the spot. The three people didn't exchange another word, quietly reflecting on the experience of working together with others.

  Seven days later, the three had joined forces to test the three points and that "plain", but like Qin Xiao who had been busy around this wilderness for three years, they still didn't get any harvest.

  Looking at the 'movie' that is still 'playing' with various scenes of life, hiding in the air just above the 'plain' and looking down carefully, Zuo Xiao Yao still can't see what kind of connection there is between the 'points' and 'faces' below, but suddenly has an idea "Three points connected, perfectly forming an equilateral triangle, why don't we three people separate and simultaneously launch attacks on those three points?"
