Demon Saint Space? Learning a Flying Dou Technique in Seconds, Linking Two Worlds?

"Demon Saint Space?" Chu Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

I admit I spoke a little too loudly just now.

As the name suggests, did I just obtain a space created by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint?

As everyone knew, Dou Sheng Experts could carve out habitable spatial realms within void space and collapse space with a flick of their hands. Six-Star Dou Shengs could perform Spatial Displacement and casually construct chaotic spaces to fight in. Nine-Star Dou Saints could use their own Dou Qi to trigger tides of natural energy, and their supreme bloodlines began to mutate.

Whether the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint had been a Half-Emperor was debatable, but he had definitely been a peak Nine-Star Dou Saint. Creating a space would have been child's play for him.

But that doesn't seem right. The Spatial Boundary the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint created should be the Demonic Flame Space, shouldn't it?

Besides, can a mere Dou Zhe like me control a space created by a Nine-Star Dou Saint?

That was even more absurd than an ant piloting a spaceship.

But a moment later, Chu Zhou understood what was going on.

A flash of insight struck him. After releasing his Soul Power, he sensed a spatial realm.

It was a little over ten feet across and just as tall. In modern measurements, it held a hundred cubic meters of space—a large, twenty-square-meter living room with a ceiling nearly four meters high.

For now, this spatial realm could not hold living creatures, and his own body could not enter or leave it either. Spirit medicines could be grown in its soil, making it essentially a portable, weakened version of a high-grade Storage Ring. The only difference was that it existed "inside his head," and only he could sense it or store and retrieve things from it.

The size of this spatial realm depended on the strength of his soul, and it would continue expanding as his Soul Power grew.

If he obtained more clues to the legacy of a ninth-tier expert—in other words, more pieces of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map—the Spatial Boundary would transform.

With another fragment, it might become a portable little world that could hold living creatures and allow his own body to enter and leave freely. At the very least, it would become the equivalent of a fully functional high-grade Storage Ring.

With yet another fragment, it might become a blessed sanctuary that benefited cultivation and the growing of natural spirit medicines.

Once he collected them all, perhaps he would obtain the complete Demon Saint Space.

"As long as it benefits me. To other people, this might be an empty promise, but to me, these really are milestone rewards."

Obtaining the fourth piece of the Demonic Flame Remnant Map might be difficult, and he would have to wait a long time.

But he could collect the second and third pieces within three years.

Besides, what he had obtained this time was a hidden reward.

That meant the "players" on Blue Star knew nothing about this additional trump card of his.

"In you go, in you go, in you go..."

Chu Zhou stored the three Stone Boxes and three keys on the Bluestone Platform inside the spatial realm. Then he put away all the hundreds of thousands of gold coins and the gold and silver treasures, before finally collecting the spirit medicines.

After some thought, he left one stalk of Ice Spirit Flame Grass behind. If Xiao Yan still had the luck to find this place, that Spirit Medicine would keep his trip from being wasted.

After collecting all the spoils, Chu Zhou left carrying a pot planted with Ice Spirit Flame Grass.

"Aunt Luo, sorry for the trouble, but could you carry this for me? It's clearly a high-grade Spirit Medicine. I'll ask Uncle Gu Ni about it when we get back." Chu Zhou handed the Ice Spirit Flame Grass to Luo Lin, who did not refuse.

With their business finished, the two hurried back to Qingshan Town, but it was already getting dark when they reached the Post Station.

"Aunt Luo, shall we head back first thing tomorrow morning?" Chu Zhou suggested.

"Traveling at night is dangerous. Leaving tomorrow morning would be better." Luo Lin nodded in agreement.

Chu Zhou returned to his room alone and took out the keys to start opening his mystery boxes.

The first box contained a Black Scroll bearing the words "High Xuan Tier Flying Dou Technique: Eagle Wings." It was an exceedingly rare and valuable High Xuan Tier Flying Dou Technique made from the wings and soul of a fifth-rank magical beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle.

Opening the scroll and looking at the lifelike wings, Chu Zhou thought of his one remaining Epiphany Opportunity for Black-Tier Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques.

The next moment, his mind became clear and tranquil. A wealth of information surfaced in his head, while a peculiar power spread from the scroll into his body.

In the blink of an eye, he felt several unusual meridians open in his back, filling with a unique power.

All he needed to do was channel Dou Qi into them, and they would form illusory Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle wings.

If he added his Mystic Yellow Azure Flame, the wings might become more solid and powerful.

"Perfect."

Others would have to suffer quite a bit to master this Flying Dou Technique, but he had finished in an instant. Not only had it been painless, he had even gained some benefits: his Soul Power had clearly increased.

Chu Zhou continued opening the boxes. The second contained a silver scroll bearing the words "High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique: Mad Lion's Roar."

"Mad Lion's Roar": practitioners of any attribute could cultivate it. By imbuing a weapon with Dou Qi, they could condense a lion's head that flew out to attack. Lion heads formed from different Dou Qi attributes would carry different effects.

"Another High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique. I'll have to learn this one on my own. Later, I'll find a Low Earth Tier Dou Technique and master it as a trump card. I should also be able to earn an Epiphany Opportunity for Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques from the Firmament Ledger."

After storing the scroll in the Spatial Boundary, Chu Zhou picked up a key and opened the third Stone Box.

It also contained a scroll, but unlike the previous two, this colorful scroll had been stitched together from Ancient Beast Hides of seven different colors. It looked extraordinary at first glance.

Chu Zhou remembered Yao Lao saying that this was an extremely ancient Poison Scripture, likely left behind by an expert with the woeful poison body. Ordinary people who cultivated it would suffer a fatal backlash from its Poisonous Miasma, their bodies exploding within three days.

Later, when Xiao Yi Xian had already become renowned as the Heavenly Poison Woman, she had also recalled the opening passage of the Poison Scripture. Its creator had been an Ancient Poison Cultivator born with the woeful poison body. He had devoted his entire life to writing this method of controlling poison, hoping that those who came after him and shared his fate could avoid the calamity of myriad poisons devouring their bodies.

"I'll find a chance to give it to Xiao Yi Xian and let her study it."

Chu Zhou closed the box again and casually stored it in the Spatial Boundary.

After finishing everything, he calculated how much time had passed and exited the "game" with a thought.

The next moment, he appeared in the study of Meng Ziwei's sprawling apartment on Blue Star.

His Soul Power spread outward, sweeping over several spots he had marked.

After confirming that no one had entered and sensing no sign that anyone was watching him, Chu Zhou walked toward the door.

Just as he placed his hand on the lock, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

It was not because he had sensed danger, but because...

"It worked!"

A smile spread across Chu Zhou's face as he looked at the gold coin that had appeared in his hand.

This coin was one of the hundreds of thousands he had stored inside the spatial realm.

He had suddenly realized that he could sense the Spatial Boundary, so he had tried retrieving something. To his surprise, it had actually worked.

Doesn't that mean I can use the Spatial Boundary to transfer things between Blue Star and the Dou Qi Continent?

He could bring cultivation resources from the Dou Qi Continent to Blue Star.

On Blue Star, although high-precision and high-density weapons could no longer be used after the Spiritual Energy Revival, various firearms and artillery still worked.

If I took an Anti-Materiel Rifle to the Dou Qi Continent, could I assassinate a Dou Shi, or even a Da Dou Shi?

"All right, I got ahead of myself."

Chu Zhou felt around in his trouser pocket and tried storing his phone in the spatial realm, but it did not work. Even the gold coin he had just retrieved could not be put back.

In other words, for now, he could only use the Spatial Boundary to bring things from the Dou Qi Continent to Blue Star, not the other way around.

It was like a density current, flowing from high density to low density, irreversible under normal conditions.

"No matter what, it's still a good thing."

Chu Zhou unlocked the study door, pushed it open, and went straight to the kitchen.

Meng Ziwei was not home. He did not know whether she had gone out or was on the Dou Qi Continent.

He would have to cook some Spirit Beast Meat for himself first.

"That smells so good. You sear steak better than I do."

Two hands wrapped around Chu Zhou's waist from behind, and Meng Ziwei's bare yet increasingly exquisite face came into view.

Chu Zhou turned toward her and smiled. "My rich lady, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
