From Mortal Embryo to Grand Simplicity

"What was going on?"

Li Shun knew Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Qi too well to mistake it. With a flicker of his divine sense, he pinpointed its source.

It was the remains of the Three Elders he had just taken into Square Inch Space!

Now that they're in Square Inch Space, the Mystic Yellow Qi that should have belonged to their remains naturally belongs to me.

Unfortunately, just as I sensed earlier, too few people worship the Three Elders. It's not enough to condense even one complete wisp of Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Qi. But... I'm now Shangyu's acting county magistrate. Perhaps I can use the rest of my term to bring about its birth.

Li Shun's thoughts were interrupted by Li Qing's startled voice.

"Brother, what exactly just happened...?"

Li Shun understood perfectly why Li Qing was so shocked.

Making three sets of remains vanish into thin air was still within the bounds of reason. But making a living pangolin vanish the same way in an instant was almost beyond belief.

Li Shun offered no explanation. He activated Threefold Self-Reflection instead.

It was not that he distrusted Li Qing. He was simply being cautious.

After all, Square Inch Space was his deepest and greatest secret.

Even if his abilities with Threefold Self-Reflection and the Heavenly Man Book were exposed, Li Shun felt he could live with that.

But not a trace of Square Inch Space could be revealed.

Not even the faintest clue to its existence.

Fortunately, with my current understanding of Threefold Self-Reflection, I no longer have to go rigidly through the first two reflections each time before the result becomes reality. That saves me a great deal of strain.

As the words "Three Reflections Upon Myself" rang out, time returned once more to the beginning of that day.
