Chapter 6: Mysterious Space
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the past, this place was filled with exquisite modern villas and all the high-tech buildings. Now, they had all turned into ancient buildings. There was an ancient aura everywhere.
Even the high-tech villa that used to be tall had now become an ancient tower.
"Amazing. Everything in this space can change according to different places and times." Xiao Muling walked slowly in the space and looked around at the scenery.
The beautiful scenery entered her eyes, but she didn't enter. 'This is indeed my space.'
"Spirit Origin Pool." Beside the stream, a pool more than 100 feet wide came into view. Mist was emitting from the pool surface, giving off a sense of immortal aura.
She pondered and continued walking forward. 'Why does it feel so much smaller? It's similar to when I was young…
'Wait!' Xiao Muling stopped and looked around, gauging the size of the space. 'Could it be that the space has returned to the size it was when I was young because this body didn't cultivate?
'I have to start from the beginning again.' She rubbed her forehead and gradually calmed down. 'Anyway, I'm living a new life. It doesn't matter much if I have to build this place up from scratch.'
After walking through the space, she was even more certain of this fact, but she had already accepted it.
When she reached the towering ancient tower, she looked up at it. The tower was surrounded by a mysterious and ancient aura. When she got here, she couldn't help but want to get closer.
Wiping her chin with her fair fingers, Xiao Muling stood at the door and thought for a while. Then, she decisively walked over and pushed open the tower door.
A powerful and ancient aura surged over, carrying a faint fragrance.
This was the first time she had smelled such a fragrance. It was faint and subtle, but it was also present all the time; she quite liked it.
As soon as she walked in, Xiao Muling saw the stairs leading up to the second floor. She wasn't in a hurry to go up, so she walked toward the side of the stairs.
She then walked to the back of the stairs and saw several rooms. The doors to each room were tightly shut.
Xiao Muling walked to the first door. On it was written: Spiritual Arts.
She walked to the second door. On it was written: Medicine and Spirit Medicine.
On the third door: Summon.
'Summon?' Xiao Muling looked at the word on the third door, and the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox's image and the array formation that appeared on the horizon surfaced in her mind. 'Could that be… the legendary summoning array? So, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was summoned by me?
'It isn't easy to become a Summoner. It's better not to think too much.'
Next to the third door was the fourth door, but there was nothing written on it.
After that was endless darkness. Xiao Muling turned her head and felt that there was something ahead.
The space had changed from modern to ancient; it was completely unfamiliar.
She had to start familiarizing herself with this space again. She knew that this space would only open up a few places as her strength increased.
She would unlock some things and obtain many unexpected good things. Thus, she didn't directly walk to the second level, nor did she walk into the darkness.
Even though the spatial changes were huge, some intrinsic qualities wouldn't change.
Although this space belonged to her, it was still quite rebellious if she wasn't strong enough to do anything forcefully.
With a soft click of her tongue, Xiao Muling stood in front of the first door. She glanced up and tried to push it open but found that she couldn't push it open no matter how hard she tried.
She went to the second door, then the third. It was all the same.
Xiao Muling: "…"
Considering her current physical condition, she was very anxious to find a way to cultivate. If she could cultivate, then she would have the most basic capital to do what she wanted to do. But now, these doors couldn't be opened.
'Could it be that one has to possess strength in order to push them open?'
"Spirit Origin Pool." Xiao Muling suddenly thought of the pool outside and immediately turned to walk outside.
She had just stepped out of the ancient tower when the door closed behind her. Glancing behind her, she strode forward. 'I will definitely open those doors! No matter how many doors there are, I shall make them appear and open them!'
Standing in front of the Spirit Origin Pool, she looked down at herself, took off her shoes, and walked in.
Just as she stepped into the pool, a bone-chilling sensation suddenly rushed from her feet to her heart!
Intense pain burst out from her heart, and the burning sensation spread to every corner of her body!
Her legs trembled, and she almost fell into the pool because of the sudden pain.
Xiao Muling's face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She stood on the spot and looked at the pool's clear war; then, she gritted her teeth.
The water in the pool was so clear that one could see the bottom of it, but it was as cold as ice when one walked in. When the chill landed on one's body, it immediately turned into a ball of boiling hot flames that rushed out of the body.
'To cultivate.' These words appeared in her mind. Despite the pain, she continued walking forward.
It was as though she was walking barefoot on an ice blade. Her feet were pierced by the ice blade and were dripping with blood, but there were no wounds on her feet.
With great difficulty, she walked to the edge of the pool and sat down.
The intense icy pain assaulted her once again. This time, it wasn't her feet but all the places soaked in the pool water!
Her body felt like it was on fire. She felt like she was soaking in magma, but the coldness on her body reminded her that she was in winter.
Her lips had gone pale from the pain. Xiao Muling looked at her body—which was only half-submerged in the water—and continued to move deeper. 'It won't work if it's only a part of my body. It has to be the entire thing.'
This pool was probably going to change her constitution. Even though her body felt like it had been melted by magma after she walked in, the places submerged in the pool water were clearly different from other places.
So, yes—yes… everything.
Xiao Muling moved her body with great difficulty. In truth, she had only taken a few steps since she entered the pool, but she had taken a very long time.
During this process, she felt that time was even longer.
Finally, she held her breath and plunged into the water.
Raging flames suddenly rushed through her body, and the ice blades cut through every part of her body!
She could breathe!
Xiao Muling was a little surprised that she was able to breathe in this pool of water, but she had no time to rejoice when the pain hit her.
Her body went completely limp. She thrashed in the water, but the pain never abated.
Every part of her body felt like it had an ice blade falling on it, slicing off her flesh piece by piece!
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the bone-piercing frost and the scorching heat from the magma made her feel like she was better off dead!
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. However, the pain was nothing to her—she continued to persevere in the water!
Even though the pain was worse than death, she would persevere!
In this world, if one couldn't cultivate, one would be nothing!
Xiao Muling had people she wanted to protect, and she didn't want to be bullied in this world. Therefore, she wanted to become stronger!
She also had people she wanted to destroy and torture to death. She didn't want them to live a better life than anyone else; she wanted their lives to be hell!
In this world, only the strong had the right to speak!
