"Milia, you little rascal." Karen and his wife were proud of their daughter's talent for cultivation, but they couldn't say they had much confidence she would reach godhood within three years. Becoming a god was no easy feat.
"I'll wait for you, Milia." Luo Ya, for his part, had complete faith in her words.
She was a prodigy who had figured out how to fuse profound mysteries all on her own while still in the Saint Realm. Luo Ya knew her talent and intelligence better than anyone.
"Very well. Since you've both said so, we'll leave it at that." Karen knew how proud his daughter was, so he didn't try to persuade her any further.
"Luo Ya, this is your first time on Wind Forbidden Island. You must let Milia show you around..." Gailina, the elegant beauty, was hinting that the two of them should spend some time growing closer.
"Of course." Luo Ya nodded readily, and Milia had no objections either.
Although she was preparing to seclude herself for arduous cultivation, she wasn't about to start right away. After all, she and Luo Ya were still in the honeymoon phase.
With Milia as his guide, Luo Ya soon took in all the natural beauty Wind Forbidden Island had to offer.
Karen and his wife also gave Luo Ya a warm welcome and introduced him to several of their friends who were cultivating in seclusion on the island.
"Luo Ya, let me introduce you." Karen, the refined middle-aged man, was in high spirits. He pointed to a red-faced old man. "This is my good friend Thompson. We're the same age, and he's a mage too, though he specializes in fire magic."
At the Saint level, experts were divided into two broad categories: Saint Magi and Saint Warriors. Karen and Thompson were both Saint Magi.
The red-faced old man Thompson looked at the young Luo Ya and smiled admiringly. "I've only ever heard of someone reaching godhood before the age of sixty in legends."
"This is River, a Saint Warrior who cultivates the Laws of Wind, just like me." The refined middle-aged man turned to a tall young man with purple hair.
"Lucius is also a Saint Magus who cultivates the Laws of Wind..."
"Lucius, greetings, Lord Luo Ya." The handsome middle-aged man with snow-white hair bowed to Luo Ya at once.
Any god-level expert commanded the respect of every Saint-level expert. Karen and his wife could face Luo Ya with ease because of their special relationship, but these Saint-level experts wouldn't dare presume to treat him as their elder.
There were nine Saint-level experts cultivating in seclusion on Wind Forbidden Island, and Luo Ya soon met them all.
Aside from Karen, who had reached the pinnacle of the Saint Realm, all the others were Saint-level experts at the peak. Even the weakest among them was about as strong as Harvey, the Phantom Sword Saint.
Of course, apart from Gailina, Thompson, and another Saint Magus who cultivated the Water Element, everyone else cultivated the Laws of Wind.
Beneath the clear lake behind the City Lord Mansion, a "bubble" of water about three meters in diameter enclosed two blurry figures.
"Glug, glug~~~"
With Luo Ya's current strength, he could easily fend off the water by simply condensing elemental energy into a shield around them.
"Luo Ya, what did you bring me here for?" Milia turned to him, puzzled.
"To give you a present." Luo Ya curled his lips into a mysterious smile.
"A present?" Milia was still curious. What sort of present could be hidden beneath the water?
"Just a moment." Luo Ya focused his mind and stretched out his right hand.
The hand wrapped in the Blood-colored Glove rose upright, fingers together like a blade.
He made a gentle chopping motion through the water in front of him.
Whoosh! A huge, door-shaped spatial rift appeared in the fragile Material Plane.
Hiss! The lake water immediately rushed toward the rift, as if it were about to be sucked inside. But with his Willpower bolstering him, Luo Ya had great control over the surrounding space, and he stopped the water from being drawn in.
Next, following his plan, he reached into the Spatial Turbulence and pulled out a miniature space resembling a "transparent bubble."
It was spherical, with a diameter of only about ten meters. A thin membrane seemed to protect it from outside interference and damage.
"What is this?" Milia was stunned. She was standing beside Luo Ya, inside the Micro Space. She looked up and around. Beyond the transparent membrane was nothing but chaotic Spatial Turbulence.
Multicolored currents of Spatial Turbulence surged around them, and spatial rifts appeared from time to time. Just looking at their terrible power made Milia's heart tremble.
There was a forbidden spell in wind magic called the "Dimensional Blade." It could cut through the spatial barrier of the Material Plane, and its power was already astonishing. But compared with the Spatial Turbulence around them, the Dimensional Blade was nothing more than a child's toy.
Are god-level experts really this powerful? Milia wondered.
"Having to spare attention to keep this Plane Secret Room intact won't do," Luo Ya thought as he ran into a small problem while creating it.
The Material Plane was actually quite fragile. Even powerful Saint-level experts could tear through space. Once god-level experts reached a certain level of cultivation, they could use their control over the elements to create a Small Plane in the Material Plane.
Of course, they could only do this in the Material Plane. It wasn't possible in the Divine Plane or the Supreme Plane.
In terms of his own strength, Luo Ya had only just become a Lowgod. He naturally lacked that level of elemental control, and he hadn't even fully mastered the Profundity of Dark Element.
Even so, he could still create a Plane Secret Room—because he had Willpower!
Besides boosting his strength in every way, Willpower's greatest asset was the sense of control it gave him over the surrounding space. Thanks to this sense of control, Luo Ya could create a Micro Space Plane Secret Room even though his elemental control was quite ordinary.
But he had also run into a problem: how could he keep the Plane Secret Room from collapsing over time?
"Right now, I'm forcing this Plane Secret Room into existence near the edge of the Material Plane using nothing but my Willpower. If my Dark God Clone enters deep meditation as well, this Micro Space will no longer be bolstered by my Willpower. When that happens..."
Without the boost from his Willpower, the Micro Space Secret Room would undoubtedly collapse on its own.
"Maybe I can try this..." Luo Ya focused his mind and reached out to the Black Hole within him.
A stream of pure, silvery-white energy flowed into his fingertips.
"Go!"
The Micro Space remained just as calm as before, but hidden in the shadows were wisps of a special power.
This power had recently originated from the Black Hole within Luo Ya.
In terms of its offensive effects when paired with the Laws of Darkness, this power was even weaker than the Lowgod Dark Divine Power within him. But after quietly experimenting over the past few days, he had discovered that once this "Black Hole Power" merged with the surrounding space, it greatly enhanced his Space Control.
Now, under Luo Ya's control, a large amount of Black Hole Power flowed into every part of the Micro Space, greatly increasing its stability.
As Luo Ya gradually reduced the support of his Willpower, the Micro Space Secret Room remained as solid as a rock, standing firm amid the Spatial Turbulence.
"Success!"
