Chen Renfeng's face fell the moment he heard they had to go back. He sighed, "We can't go back yet. We came from the future, and there's no high technology in the outside world now, so we can't open a temporal tunnel."
"Besides, we just stumbled here. We can't operate time and space precisely."
As soon as the Professor said this, Bai Xue and Chen Qing deflated like pricked balloons.
Seeing their reaction, Chen Renfeng comforted them, "Don't be discouraged, you two. I know a way, but it will take some time."
Bai Xue immediately asked, "Uncle Chen, what's the good way? Tell me quickly!"
Chen Renfeng replied unhurriedly, "How much do you two know about the world of cultivation?"
Bai Xue and Chen Qing exchanged a glance. Chen Qing replied, "Professor, a mortal who can sense Spiritual Energy can be called a cultivator; one who opens up a Sea of Dantian to store true energy as liquid magic power is called a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator."
"Then you cultivate step by step, breaking through to the Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refinement Stage, Body Integration Stage, and Great Ascension Stage cultivators."
"Great Ascension Stage cultivators have condensed souls. After reaching Grand Perfection, they can break through to the True Immortal Realm if they get an opportunity, becoming true gods." Chen Qing explained everything he knew.
Chen Renfeng nodded and continued, "There are five levels in the Immortal Realm, starting from the True Immortal Realm. I am currently in the True Immortal Realm."
Bai Xue and Chen Qing looked at each other with disbelief, full of surprise that the Professor had become a True Immortal.
Chen Renfeng continued, "Above that is the Golden Immortal Realm. The White Deer Immortal we saw when we first arrived was a Golden Immortal."
"Above Golden Immortal is the Great Golden Immortal Realm. Ancestor Lu of Penglai Island is a Great Golden Immortal."
"Above Great Golden Immortal is the Primordial Great Golden Immortal, also known as a Sage. They have severed all emotions and desires, their past, present, and future selves are unified, their hearts are like glass, clear inside and out, unstained by dust. The Three Pure Ones are all Sages!"
After Chen Renfeng finished speaking, all three fell silent for a moment. It was truly a bizarre and fantastical world of immortals.
Bai Xue asked first, "Uncle Chen, what do the things you just said have to do with us going back?"
"It has a lot to do with it. Do you know about the Law of Time and the Law of Space?" Chen Renfeng asked loudly.
Bai Xue shook her head. Although she had read many of the books the Professor bought, most of them were related to alchemy. She wasn't very interested in cultivating such techniques.
Chen Renfeng didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "The Law of Time allows you to travel through the river of time to any point in time you wish."
"The Law of Space allows you to physically travel to any place you wish, as long as you have been there before."
Chen Qing's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Professor, as long as we master the Law of Time and the Law of Space, we can return to the world we came from?"
Chen Renfeng nodded approvingly.
Chen Qing hurriedly asked, "Professor, do you know the Law of Time and the Law of Space?"
Chen Renfeng shook his head and replied, "My Dharma body is Chen Tuan's. He cultivated the Law of Reincarnation, and I inherited that as well."
"The fusion of your souls with those two Nascent Souls was also done using the Law of Reincarnation."
Chen Qing felt a bit dejected. Still, he asked, "Professor, can we cultivate the Law of Time and the Law of Space?"
Chen Renfeng didn't answer him. He got up and walked around the Siheyuan Courtyard. He went to the kitchen and the alchemy room. Bai Xue and Chen Qing followed him.
After touring the Siheyuan Courtyard, Chen Renfeng went out the main gate. He walked around the football field, the vegetable garden, and the pond, finally standing by the lake, tears streaming down his face.
Bai Xue and Chen Qing, following behind, also cried.
Chen Renfeng looked towards the opposite side of the lake, where there were no mountains or trees. He moved his body and instantly disappeared.
When he walked back from outside the small world, the distant mountains and trees reappeared. He placed the two Jade Pendants together on the Princess.
"Do you want to go out and live the rest of your lives in the outside world, or do you want to return to the future?" Chen Renfeng asked loudly. As he walked on the grass, a gust of wind arose, causing Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Bai Xue immediately said, "I..."
Chen Renfeng interrupted, "Think it over first. Only by cultivating to True Immortal can you learn the Law of Time and the Law of Space."
"This is a long process. Even with abundant Spiritual Energy and no lack of elixirs and immortal herbs in this small world, only those with great perseverance can achieve it!"
"You have already formed a Golden Core. If you leave from here, you should have two hundred years of lifespan, and you can live your lives to the fullest."
"After going out, you still need to cultivate. The Heavenly Dao's karma will limit your realm. You need to accumulate six hundred thousand Karma Value to ascend to Penglai Island. Accumulate another three million Karma Value, and you will become a True Immortal. This entire process will take several thousand years."
After Chen Renfeng finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, leaving the decision of their fate to themselves.
Bai Xue was unwilling to give up and asked, "Uncle Chen, can I sneak out, take just one look, and then return to the small world to cultivate?"
Chen Renfeng shook his head and replied, "Once you come to the mortal world, the Heavenly Dao will discover you, and your Karma Value will be registered. Your realm breakthroughs will also be limited by your Karma Value."
"What realm is not limited by Karma Value?" Bai Xue retorted.
Chen Renfeng replied with a solemn expression, "Great Golden Immortal."
A realm that was impossibly far away.
"Professor, I'm not going out. I'll cultivate here until I reach the True Immortal Realm. I want to learn the Law of Time, and I want to go back to the future," Chen Qing said decisively.
Seeing this, Bai Xue also added, "Uncle Chen, I'm not going out either. I'll stay in this small world. It's quite interesting to refine pills, grow vegetables, and raise fish here anyway."
Chen Renfeng heard this and laughed heartily! After a while, he said, "Good! You two have ambition!"
"This small world is the top-tier cultivation place in the cultivation world. Since we have it, let's make good use of it."
"You just focus on breaking through your realms inside. You don't need to practice cultivation techniques or combat skills. When you reach the True Immortal Realm, it will be time for us to go home."
Since the three of them had decided on their future life plan, Chen Renfeng recorded the key points for breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refinement Stage, Body Integration Stage, and Great Ascension Stage onto Jade Slips and gave them to the two. They would naturally use them when the time came.
The three of them then gathered a large batch of immortal herbs on the grassland, preparing elixirs to boost their strength according to their respective realms, such as the Nascent Nurturing Pill, Creation Pill, Void Spirit Pill, and Soul Pill.
After refining a few batches of elixirs, Chen Renfeng handed them over to Bai Xue to continue refining herself. Chen Qing's puppets could also assist by her side.
With the elixirs and the help of the lake water, which was rich in spiritual energy, even better than the immortal well of the Immortal Lord's Residence in Penglai belonging to Ancestor Lu, their daily cultivation was equivalent to ten years in the mortal realm.
Chen Renfeng was somewhat envious of their speed. It was a pity that he was affected by his Karma Value, limiting his daily spiritual energy growth.
Unknowingly, Chen Renfeng had spent three days in the small world. It was time for him to return, lest White Deer Immortal become suspicious. He had to handle the situation carefully and dared not take the Jade Pendant.
Chen Renfeng briefed Chen Qing and Bai Xue on important matters, promising to return when he had the chance. He cultivated the Law of Reincarnation and knew that the tribulation of Qing Shi and Bai Yu might hide a tremendous secret.
The Great General and the Princess from his previous life had reincarnated into Chen Qing and Bai Xue. The current tribulation of Qing Shi and Bai Yu could also affect Chen Qing and Bai Xue, so he dared not be careless.
Chen Renfeng went to the northern ice island to find White Crane and immediately returned to Penglai.
"There can't be any more incidents from now on..."
