Space-Time Wandering Flower (Seventh Update)

Tang Yu and Zhou Butong held a Leaf above their heads to shield themselves from the rain, but their eyes were always fixed on the edge of the Leaf.

"This is the place. I found it here last time," Zhou Butong said, pointing in a direction.

"You must be mistaken. There's nothing there, not even a branch. Where would the flowers grow? And how could there be Star Crystal if there are no flowers?" Tang Yu asked suspiciously.

"I can't explain it either. I just remember that a bolt of lightning struck that spot, and then something seemed to crack open. Inside the crack, there was a tree with a bunch of Star Crystal on it, all of them mature Star Crystal, over a hundred of them. And in the middle of those Star Crystal, there was a flower with a pale yellow Star Crystal on it, which was definitely Special Star Crystal."

Tang Yu listened to Zhou Butong's story as if it were a tale, but he still had some doubts in his heart. This matter seemed unreliable, but since he had already come all this way, he couldn't go back now.

The rain poured down harder and harder, reaching from the sky to the ground, and there were frequent flashes of lightning and Lei Ming all around, but strangely, there was no lightning in this particular spot.

Zhou Butong said dejectedly, "I remember my teacher saying when I was a child that you shouldn't stand under a tree when it rains because trees are prone to being struck by lightning. But the Star Fruit Tree is such a big tree, how come no lightning strikes it?"

"That's not necessarily true. There are definitely lightning strikes in other places, it's just that we haven't experienced them here yet. It's perfectly normal."

As the two talked, the lightning around them seemed to increase.

Because of the dark clouds, the inside of the Star Fruit Tree was pitch black at this time, only occasionally brightened by a flash of lightning outside.

The bolts of lightning twisted and turned in strange arcs, varying in distance and direction, but they still hesitated to strike this spot.

"No, no, the crack won't appear unless the lightning strikes. We can't keep waiting here. We need to think of something," Zhou Butong said.

"But what can we do?" Tang Yu asked, distressed.

"Metal can conduct electricity and attract lightning, so why don't we throw some metal over there? That might work."

Tang Yu nodded. Zhou Butong thought for a moment, then took out a sword from his Space Ring and threw it far away to the place he remembered.

This method worked! The lightning seemed to be attracted by the sword, and suddenly a thunderbolt came down from the sky and struck the sword accurately!

"Snap!"

The sword shone brightly with golden light, then fell to the ground in a somber mood.

But neither of them looked at the sword; instead, they stared wide-eyed at the sky.

Lin Zhen Lin Zhen also watching at the same time, and she was also stunned by the scene before her.

Suddenly, a purple crack shimmering with black light appeared in the void.

The crack resembled a slowly opening, vertical mouth without teeth, its lips a golden-purple color, and a dark, deep light flickering from who-knows-where!

In the crack, at what seemed like a short distance away, stood a small tree with clusters of flowers blooming on it.

The flowers were in full bloom, and floating on them were tiny, faintly glowing objects—clearly Star Crystal!

Both Tang Yu and Lin Zhen had seen countless Star Crystal and could tell at a glance what period and stage Star Crystal belonged to, yet they were still awestruck by these Star Crystal.

Zhou Butong's claim of over a hundred is not an exaggeration, and may even be an understatement. There are at least two or three hundred Star Crystal here!

The starlight, like a Xinghe, flickered and shimmered, each one a mature, absolutely mature Star Crystal, more than twice the energy of ordinary Star Crystal, almost dazzling to the eye.

This is simply the most beautiful scenery in the world. Especially for martial artists, these Star Crystal represent strength, power, wealth, status, and everything else!

Moreover, in the center of the densely packed Star Crystal, there was a Star Crystal that emitted a faint yellow, a bit gray, and a bit blue light that swayed there. The light on it changed from time to time, not bright, but without a fixed color.

Special Star Crystal! It's definitely Special Star Crystal!

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary Special Star Crystal, otherwise it wouldn't be so rare to find. This Star Crystal is definitely a treasure!

Zhou Butong and Tang Yu were practically drooling, their eyes glued to the Star Crystal in the sky.

Zhou Butong, having already seen it once, had some resistance and said to Tang Yu, "Alright, let's set off now. Aren't you Mind Power Master? Take me and fly up to that rift. As we agreed beforehand, I'll take that Special Star Crystal, and the rest of the Star Crystal are yours."

The crack was a full forty meters above the ground, neither touching the sky nor the ground, and there were no branches nearby. The only way to get up there was to fly.

Although Zhou Butong is the person in charge of the Beehive, he is not Mind Power Master and does not have the ability to fly, which is one of the reasons why he brought Tang Yu with him.

Tang Yu had also calmed down by this time, and her eyes flickered a few times. "Okay, let's set off now."

As he spoke, Tang Yu took out a shield, stepped on it, and then said to Zhou Butong, "Come up here, stand in front of me, so you can pick the Star Crystal first when we go in. Don't worry about me getting that special one."

Zhou Butong found this very reasonable, immediately put on his shield, and stood in front of Tang Yu.

The shield wobbled, and the two people flew up, heading straight for the crack in the sky.

Lin Zhen stood behind, her heart pounding as she looked at the crack.

"Space Crack! This is actually Space Crack! The flowers inside are the Space Wandering Flower, which are somehow imprisoned within this Star Fruit Tree."

"No wonder Tang Yu became so strong later on. It turns out he found the Space Wandering Flower in the Space Crack. No wonder, then Zhou Butong wasn't the one who obtained the Star Crystal at this time in my previous life."

Tang Yu and the other two didn't know what this crack was, but Lin Zhen did.

This is Space Crack. On the other side of the rift lies another world, perhaps deep within the vast starry sky, tens of thousands of light-years away.

Space Crack have appeared in the universe more than once. These rifts often represent high returns, but more often they represent high risks.

If the crack is stable, it's okay to get out in a short time after entering. But if the crack is unstable, it may close up after entering, and the martial artist may be left in that world forever, never to find their way home again.

The Space Wandering Flower only exists in spacetime rifts, and the Star Crystal on it represent the power of space. No wonder Tang Yu was able to master the advanced skill of Mind Power Teleportation. Without the power of space as a foundation, Teleport would be unthinkable.

Lin Zhen saw Tang Yu and the other person take off from behind. He was about to move when he felt the crack flicker, as if it might collapse and disappear at any moment.

"Oh no, this Space Crack is not stable yet. The lightning bolt just tore open the space, but the power was not strong enough. This rift is about to collapse."

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that Tang Yu was not content with just obtaining ordinary Star Crystal, and there might even be some conflict between the two of them.

Sure enough, just as Tang Yu and his companion approached the rift, before they could even enter, the rift flashed with a golden-purple light and vanished before their very eyes.

"Zhou Butong! Explain yourself! What's going on here?" Tang Yu said angrily.

"I don't know either!"

The two reluctantly circled in the Rainstorm for a while before landing.

Zhou Butong scratched his head, racking his brains, and then suddenly slapped his forehead. "I remember now, the last time I saw this crack, it disappeared in a very short time, about the same time as this time."

"So that's how it is."

Tang Yu thought for a while and gradually began to understand something.

The crack is fixed in this location, and the only way to break it is by relying on the power of lightning. However, the sword can only attract lightning once before it is struck and becomes dull and loses its luster, and can no longer attract lightning. It is estimated that the power of the lightning is not enough. If more lightning could be attracted, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu glanced at Zhou Butong and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't think this crack can escape. Why don't we unleash another lightning bolt to split it open again, then you can quickly go in, collect the Star Crystal, and come out?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Butong immediately nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense, but my precious sword is gone. It was destroyed by the lightning."

"That's alright. We came together, so you can't be the only one to suffer. I have another sword here, you can take it."

As Tang Yu spoke, he took out a sword from his Space Ring.

The sword has a faint crackling of Electric Light on it, which indicates that it is of very high quality.

"This is the latest product from the Ministry of Science and Technology when I came in. The sword even has an electric current inside, so it should be even more effective than the one before."

"Okay, I'll give it a try and throw it up again." Zhou Butong took the sword and was about to throw it up.

"Hey! Don't rush, don't rush. I felt your throw was a little off-center. Stand a bit over there," Tang Yu said, giving instructions.

"Over here?" Zhou Butong took two steps with his sword.

"Almost there, just a couple more steps."

"This way? I remember it's this way." Zhou Butong took two more steps.

"Hmm, it seems about right. Show me the sword and let me see if it's the same spot as before."

Zhou Butong's mind was filled with thoughts of the Star Crystal, so he didn't think too much. He raised his sword and pointed upwards, saying, "I remember it should be here. Look, there are still a few Leaf up high."

"Click, click, click!"

Just as he raised his sword, the electric current within the sword reacted with the lightning in the air, and streaks of golden snakes crashed down, giving no time to react, and slammed into the sword in Zhou Butong's hand!

The human body conducts electricity, and Zhou Butong, as the carrier, was directly struck by seven or eight bolts of lightning in succession. He collapsed on the spot, his body charred black, and died instantly!

Tang Yu didn't even look at Zhou Butong; his attention was focused on the sky.

After seven or eight bolts of lightning, the golden-purple crack finally reappeared!

Today, I'm adding a fifth chapter as a bonus, especially for the book's Hall Master (Warm Little Abode).
