[Darkness, chaos, distortion-those were the only words you could use to describe the spatial passage.]
[Everything here was in disarray. Sight, hearing, and even a Primal Daoist's divine sense could find no fixed course, and so you soon became separated from Immortal Wusui and his companion.]
[This gave you something of a headache. You had thought the three of you could look after one another if you entered together, but now that seemed rather wishful.]
"Lost?" Zhou Qing was immediately surprised.
Having used a Minor World Teleportation Talisman, which was similar to a Greater Teleportation Talisman of the Three Realms, he naturally knew that a spatial passage was nothing like the one in the simulation.
The only possibility was that, when his simulated self opened the spatial passage, he had happened to collide with someone else using Grand Teleportation, causing the space to fall into disarray.
The odds were so small as to be practically negligible, yet his simulated self had been unlucky enough to encounter it.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Qing was left speechless.
Still, he was not overly worried about his simulated self's safety.
From what he had seen and heard in the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom, such spatial disorder would at most send someone to the wrong place; it would not put their life in danger.
The simulation continued.
[Inside the chaotic spatial passage, you did everything you could to find a way out.]
[But you soon discovered that ordinary methods alone could not get you out of this bizarre space.]
[Space...]
[Thinking of the nature of this place, you immediately realized that the key to breaking out lay in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.]
[You therefore calmed your mind and observed the structure of this space using your profound insights into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.]
[One day, two days, three days...]
[Time passed bit by bit, and you could no longer remember how long you had spent observing this space.]
[Although you still had not found a way out, you felt that you seemed to have touched upon a trace of the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.]
[One day, your eyes suddenly lit up. You extended your right index finger, and a dazzling silver radiance could be seen flowing over its tip.]
[Space Power!]
[That was right. Without fully comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, you had actually mastered a trace of Space Power ahead of time!]
"What?!"
Seeing the information in the simulation, Zhou Qing's pupils immediately contracted slightly.
He had actually mastered a trace of Space Power at the Primal level...
Such talent belonged among the very finest, even in the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom.
Of course, the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom had no shortage of geniuses who mastered a trace of Primordial Power while still mortals, but most of them mastered combat-oriented Primordial Powers such as Swordforce, Saberforce, and Explosive Power.
As for abstruse and profound Primordial Powers such as Space Power, Time Power, and Taiji Power, even among the geniuses of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom, few could master them while still mortals.
[After mastering a trace of Space Power, your understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth advanced by leaps and bounds, and before long you found a way out.]
[After leaving the spatial passage, you found yourself on an unfamiliar continent.]
[The breeze was gentle and the sun shone brightly on this continent, birds sang and flowers gave off their fragrance, and an ancient-looking cave abode stood at its center. It was truly a scene fit for immortals.]
[You did not let down your guard. Instead, you carefully searched the continent with your divine sense.]
[Forests, marshes, deserts... You searched every corner of the continent, and only after confirming that there was no danger did you turn your gaze to the cave abode at its center.]
[The cave abode looked rather dilapidated and seemed to have been abandoned for many years. The plaque hanging above it, however, still gleamed brilliantly. You looked up and saw three large characters on it: "Golden Light Cave."]
[Golden Light Cave? A name that commonplace did not catch your attention.]
[You continued investigating the cave abode called Golden Light Cave. You approached its entrance and were just about to step inside when you suddenly heard a thunderous crash.]
[The next moment, a pretty woman in white flew out of the cave abode.]
[Her clothes were tattered and her face was ashen; she looked to be in a sorry state.]
[You examined her, and judging by the presence she gave off, she seemed to have only recently entered the Void level.]
[Although such strength probably posed no threat to you, you still studied the woman in white warily.]
"This woman..." Zhou Qing frowned slightly.
He had a rough idea why his simulated self had encountered her. She was probably the unlucky cultivator whose Grand Teleportation had been interrupted when he forcibly opened the Wujiang Immortal Mansion.
[Just as you were about to question the woman in white about her origins, a series of thunderous crashes suddenly came from within the cave abode again.]
[You looked closely and saw that four enormous puppets had charged out of the cave abode.]
[Looking at the four puppets, which resembled mighty warriors, you grew solemn.]
[Puppets were no unfamiliar sight to you, for you had seen several left behind by Immortal Witchriver in the ancestral land of the Wujiang Clan.]
[But those Primal puppets could not compare at all with the warrior puppets now before him.]
[Judging by the presence they gave off, these warrior puppets were at least immortal-level puppets, and even among immortals they would count as powerful.]
[At that moment, the woman in white beside you also noticed you. Her expression was guarded; clearly, she too was wary of a stranger who had appeared so suddenly.]
[And just then, the four warrior puppets attacked you both.]
[Faced with a common enemy, you had no choice but to work together. After exchanging a glance, you tacitly chose to deal with the two puppets closest to each of you.]
[The warrior puppets possessed boundless strength. Your Fiendgod Body Refining had only just broken through to the Wanxiang level, so naturally you could not meet them head-on.]
[With your profound mastery of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, you easily held your own against the two warrior puppets. A quarter of an hour later, you seized an opening in one of them and defeated it in a single move.]
[After mastering a trace of Space Power, your understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had already approached the level of an ordinary Celestial Immortal. With one Sky Rend Claw, you captured the warrior puppet outright.]
[After that, how could the other warrior puppet be your match one-on-one? A few breaths later, you easily captured it as well.]
[The woman in white, watching from nearby, was left dumbstruck.]
[Although she knew that a Primal Daoist who could reach this place could not be ordinary, she was still utterly shocked to see you capture two powerful warrior puppets so easily.]
[But in that one moment of distraction, the warrior puppets drove her back step by step, nearly killing her.]
[Having dealt with the warrior puppets on your side, you saw that the woman in white could scarcely hold on and immediately went to her aid.]
[Following the same process as before, you captured the other two warrior puppets without much effort.]
[After you saved her, the woman in white was deeply grateful.]
[She said her name was Xuanshu and that she came from the Heaven Realm. A problem had occurred while she was using a Greater Teleportation Talisman, bringing her to this continent by accident.]
[As for the cave abode, Xuanshu said she had been blocked by the four warrior puppets and did not know what lay inside either.]
[After discussing it, the two of you decided to enter Golden Light Cave and explore it together.]
