Chapter 51: Old Friend? [event Extra Update 2]
The badge hadn’t fallen yet when Lu Nan proficiently mobilized the spiritual power in his body, raised his right hand in a finger-gun pose pointing at the badge, and infused spiritual power into it.
The badge infused with spiritual power stopped in mid-air, spinning rapidly. Immediately after, the badge turned into light spots, which constructed a passage entrance.
Lu Nan stood at one side of the entrance, placed his right hand to his lips, blew lightly, then bowed and made an inviting gesture.
So greasy.
Ge Bai was given goosebumps by Lu Nan’s routine. Would she have to do this every time too?
No, refuse, too stupid.
“Ignore him. After throwing out the badge and infusing it with spiritual power, you can communicate with the space secret realm’s passage.”
Professor Luo Wan happened to see Ge Bai’s constipated expression, her hands still mimicking Lu Nan’s movements. Knowing she’d misunderstood, he added this and took the lead to step in.
Sometimes he really didn’t want that unreliable disciple. So embarrassing.
Hearing Professor Luo Wan say this, Ge Bai finally relaxed and closely followed.
Lu Nan glanced at the two. Hmm? What was going on? No one appreciated his carefully designed routine?
Such poor taste.
Just as she stepped into the passage, Ge Bai felt a slight dizziness.
It was like stepping into the vast starry sky. There was no absolute boundary between ground and sky around her. At a glance, it was a blue-black backdrop adorned with brilliant star rivers. Reaching out to touch yielded only void.
There was a solid feeling underfoot. Looking down, long light bands like comet tails extended to another light door ahead.
Professor Luo Wan didn’t walk fast.
“This is the temporary space passage that’s been communicated. It’s quite stable under normal circumstances.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the light door ahead and said, “Follow the light path to the other side. Behind the light door is the ‘Plum Garden’.”
“Is this surrounding illusory illusion or real starry sky?”
Ge Bai had already adapted to the passage environment by now. She curiously observed her surroundings and cautiously stepped one foot outside the light path. She’d thought she’d need to control her balance to avoid falling out, but she hit an air wall obstruction.
This little girl has such a big courage? Such strong adaptability?
Lu Nan, walking behind Ge Bai, pursed his lips and stayed silent.
When he had entered this passage back then, he’d been dizzy for a long time. Senior Sister had even scared him, saying he’d fall if he wasn’t steady, making him develop a fear of heights on the light path.
Thinking of that scene from back then really made him want to grind his teeth.
“Real. This passage is actually equivalent to a bridge built between the real world and the space secret realm.”
Professor Luo Wan explained.
The journey wasn’t long. After just a few dozen steps, the three passed through the light door into the Plum Garden.
The moment Ge Bai stepped into the Plum Garden, the system in her mind clearly dinged. She paused, thinking the system would say something, but after waiting a long time, nothing came.
But she didn’t take it seriously and let it go, assuming the system had gone crazy from stimulation today.
——
The system was really going crazy this time. He just wanted to beat Ge Bai to death. You have to say in advance when entering a secret realm space with an owner!
But who’d made him zone out and not pay attention to what Ge Bai was doing? And he indeed hadn’t told Ge Bai about secret realm spaces.
The main responsibility was his. Though the system hadn’t expected Ge Bai to contact a secret realm space so soon.
The moment Ge Bai stepped into the secret realm space, the system discovered that the sovereign of this secret realm space was an old friend.
Now he could only pray the old friend hadn’t noticed him. With that thought, the system silently lowered its presence.
It backfired.
Almost simultaneously, the sovereign deep in the secret realm space, who had long been in dormancy, Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum, opened its eyes.
Who came? There’s a very ancient but familiar aura. This aura rapidly hid and disappeared within a few short seconds.
Perhaps having slept a bit too long, Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum took a moment to react.
This is very much like the sovereign’s aura.
It quickly spread its spiritual sense to every corner of the Plum Garden, searching for the aura’s source.
After thinking, it simultaneously sent a mimicry of this aura to a few old friends.
Heh, everyone would probably be interested.
——
Ge Bai was completely unaware of the changes she had caused and everything happening. She was curiously observing the secret realm space.
This space looked so peaceful, like a huge garden where various flowers and trees whose varieties Ge Bai couldn’t name grew wildly. Small birds and beasts could even be seen among the woods.
Not just birds and beasts, Ge Bai even saw a few wooden houses and treehouses not far away.
In one nearby treehouse, a young man was clearly sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, regulating his breathing.
Professor Luo Wan followed Ge Bai’s gaze and also saw the young man.
“This secret realm space contains more spiritual power than the outside world, and it’s very suitable for spirit plants to absorb, so many trainee members stay long-term inside the space.”
Lu Nan craned his neck to look. Seeing the young man’s appearance clearly, he huffed.
He knew this person. They were basically from the same batch, but this guy was one level ahead in progress. Probably wouldn’t take two months to pass the checkpoint.
He had to admit, the genius from the ancient capital had some skills.
Professor Luo Wan ignored Lu Nan and led Ge Bai along a path deeper into the garden.
The path was straight, passing through some shrubs and a plum grove, arriving at a small very open grassy area. In the center of the grass was seven ancient wooden doors that caught the eye.
Calling them wooden doors wasn’t quite accurate. It was just plum tree branches entwining to form the shapes of 7 doorframes.
From Ge Bai’s perspective, the leftmost doorframe had light spots swirling, like connecting to another space.
The other six were just bare doorframes standing on the ground.
“This is the entrance to the trial checkpoints. After passing one checkpoint, the next one will open.”
Professor Luo Wan explained, supporting the plum tree branch doorframe.
Ge Bai curiously stepped forward and stepped through the second door without swirling light spots. Unsurprisingly, she turned back from the other side of the doorframe.
She walked to the first checkpoint entrance and curiously inserted her finger into the light spots. She could clearly feel a suction coming from behind the light spots. If she stepped in, she’d probably be teleported away immediately.
Thinking this, she withdrew her finger. She was just here to look today and had no intention of starting the trial.
No rush. She’d go back, let Big Willow rest, adjust, and come again.
Professor Luo Wan saw that though Ge Bai was young, she had her own ideas and didn’t rashly charge into the first trial ground. He nodded in satisfaction.
“The way back is similar to coming in. Back at the entrance area, infuse spiritual power into the badge to open the return passage.”
“Try it when we go back later.”
Ge Bai nodded and looked around, clearly wanting to wander more.
——
Deep in the Plum Garden, Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum didn’t expend much effort to lock onto the aura’s source—Ge Bai.
After all, this was her secret realm space. She sensed the fluctuations of the Y Bureau spiritual power badge on Ge Bai and understood her identity.
Just as she was preparing to observe more, a domineering spiritual power transmission appeared in Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum’s spiritual sense.
“Sovereign aura? On whom?”
Came so fast.
Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum knew this one had a violent temperament and didn’t mince words, directly using spiritual power to point to Ge Bai in the secret realm space.
After a moment of silence, the domineering transmission rang out again. “I’m taking the person. Figure it out and send her back.”
“This little girl is a trainee member of the Interstellar Alliance Y Bureau. Don’t go overboard.” Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum didn’t forget to remind.
“Won’t. Don’t worry.”
No sooner had the words fallen than a completely different spiritual power surged strongly into the Plum Garden, tearing a spatial rift beside Ge Bai.
The spatial rift emitted huge suction, instantly swallowing Ge Bai.
Just after swallowing Ge Bai, the rift directly mended and disappeared.
Professor Luo Wan, who had just been chatting with Ge Bai, had no time to react and was stunned by this scene.
Just as he was about to do something, Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum’s gentle voice carrying the sovereign’s pressure entered his ears.
“Don’t worry. This little girl has some fate with me. I sent her to another secret realm very suitable for her.”
