Mo Zi Chen let out an "ah" and felt his body, as if it was flying upside down, disappear along with the storage space he was in.

  At this time, she did not notice that the jade pendant on her chest was shining with a blood-like glow. It was the fresh blood spat out by Mo Zi Chen in the mountain cave seven days ago, which stained it.

  When Mo Zi Chen felt his feet on solid ground again, he opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "Where is this?"

  The place where she was, was exactly the same as before, with foggy mist all around, a chaotic mess, just like another storage space. The surrounding fog was thick and heavy, and she didn't dare to move randomly, so she stood still and looked around in all directions.

  Everything around is blurry, and I don't know how big this place is. In front of her, there is a hot spring, with steam rising from it, layer upon layer of mist rising into the air. There are even bubbles bubbling up from inside, just like a hot spring.

  Mo Zi Chen finally noticed the anomaly of the jade pendant on her chest, she grasped the crystal and warm jade pendant, suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that this is also a storage artifact?"

  Thinking of this, she once again recited the magic spell, and indeed, she immediately broke free from the spatial confinement.

  At this time, she only discovered that the sundries which were originally moved by her to the storage space were all piled on the ground outside the cave. And the storage spirit device in her hand seemed to have no spiritual energy at all, as if it had been abandoned.

  She muttered to herself: "Can it be that two Storage Spirit Tools will also devour each other, with the larger one consuming the smaller?"

  Tiao Tiao crouched at the entrance of the cave, looking at the things beside Mo Zi Chen, changing and transforming, with a curious gaze at her.

  Mo Zi Chen was just a rookie who had just entered the Xianxia realm, so she would ask such naive questions. If she had been practicing for even a few months and knew some basic common sense about cultivation, she would never have dared to make such a bold move.

  It is worth noting that although storage-type magical artifacts are common, their original refining techniques originated from the immortal realm and can directly define space, making them one of the highest principles in the mortal world. Among these principles is an iron law: two storage spaces absolutely cannot merge or devour each other; otherwise, it will inevitably lead to spatial collapse, and in severe cases, the practitioner will be completely sucked into the spatial rift, leaving no remains.

  These things, Mo Zi Chen naturally didn't understand now. She was just curious, thought for a moment, and then put it aside. Re-entering the space, although she couldn't see the surroundings, she could feel that this space was at least over ten zhang square, much larger than the previous one.

  She curiously put her hand in to test the temperature of the pool, and as soon as she did, she let out a "yah" and almost jumped up from being scalded. The remaining jade also accidentally fell into the pool. This pool was much hotter than usual. Her plan to go for a warm spring bath was thus abandoned.

  She patted her hands in regret, after all, it was also a mark left by her father in this world, and it was destroyed like this. However, such an ominous thing should be buried here forever!

  However, if I meet him again in the future, how should I explain it to him? If I lost his things without any reason, would he be so angry that he would drive me out of the school?

  Mo Zi Chen thought about this issue very seriously and came up with over a dozen reasons before he felt at ease and walked out of the space.

  She stayed here for several days, during which she also went to the space to explore several times. However, the surrounding fog was vast and only a small area around the water pool was bright. When she walked into the fog, she would get lost and then unconsciously return to the water pool. It was like being trapped in a haunted house. After trying several times, she also felt frustrated and gave up trying.

  She also tried to bring some of the pond water out, but strangely, the pond water was fine in space, but as soon as she stepped out of space, the pond water would disappear on its own, as if it didn't belong to this world.

  Although she felt that this space was likely to have some mystery, at least for now, she had not yet figured it out, and for her, it was just a larger storage space.

  However, there is one advantage, which is that this space can actually hold living things. To think that in the previous storage spirit artifact, no matter how she used her incantation, she couldn't transport living things inside. And this time, she could even bring Tiantian in to take a bath.

  She stayed on the mountain top for a whole month, mastering all the spells that the man had taught her. Now she has reached the second level of Qi refining. Even if she encounters Zhang Jian, she won't be completely helpless and can at least think of a way to escape.

  As the man had instructed earlier, at this time, she was about to leave here and head to Yingzhou to join her own sect.

  After all, she is now just a nominal disciple. If she doesn't formally enter the sect and be recorded in the genealogy one day, she can't be considered as being under the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

  These days, she often visited Jade Simplification and roughly understood the situation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. In this world, with the help of sects, it was much easier than those scattered cultivators who relied solely on themselves. Her brain wasn't waterlogged, so naturally, she wouldn't give up such an opportunity easily.

  Mo Zi Chen simply packed up her things, and with no attachment to everyday objects, she threw them all away. What was left, she carelessly tossed into space. Holding onto Tiao Tiao's head, she said: "This place is our secret, don't tell anyone else, remember?"

  Tutu "squeaked" twice, seemingly in agreement. Then, Mo Zi Chen left the valley.

  She first went to the old site of Taoyuan Village, where it had become quiet, as if the authorities had taken care of the bodies. Now, only broken walls and ruins could be seen. Mo Zi Chen silently mourned here, "The one who killed you has also been killed, your revenge is avenged, you don't need to have any more resentment, rest in peace and reincarnate!"

  At this time, she still didn't know that not all the people in Taoyuan Village had died. Lu Peng and Ren Gengxin had escaped from Hu Kou. In the future, there would be a day when she would meet them again.

  Although three thousand imperial guards died in the mountains, it is strange that neither the local government nor the people have heard any news about this matter. It seems that someone at the top has deliberately blocked the information.

  This is no longer her hometown, Mo Zi Chen inquired about the news and did not stay, heading north.

  However, she didn't go straight to Lou Fu. Before becoming an apprentice, there was still one thing she hadn't done.

  The Central Plains were still in a state of turmoil. The emperor, who had usurped the throne, did not have enough prestige and military power to subdue the four corners of the country. Rebellions broke out one after another within the country, but he was a scholar and not skilled in martial arts. Therefore, he could only rely on his generals to fight wars in all directions, while he himself remained holed up in the imperial city. He was also very diligent in governance, and every night, the lights in the newly built Zichen Hall did not go out.

  But on this morning, when the eunuchs opened the palace gate, they suddenly discovered that the emperor and all 24 eunuchs serving beside him had died unnatural deaths!

  The palace gates were tightly closed, the night was quiet and still, outside there were imperial guards patrolling all night, no one knew what kind of person, without a shadow or a sound, had beheaded the emperor!

  The country was in a state of great chaos, the imperial bloodline was severed, countless rebels rose up, and the fallen Great Hua Dynasty ushered in a truly chaotic era.

  But all of this has nothing to do with Mo Zichen anymore.

  She now stands before Mount Luofu. Once she steps across this threshold, she will sever her ties with the mortal world.

  Mo Zi Chen took one last look at the land where she was born, then turned her head without any hesitation and walked forward. The sunset shone down on her back, casting a long shadow behind her.

  She is about to embark on a new journey in her life!
