Qin Yuan naturally didn’t know that there was a mother and daughter talking about him, he was just a bit confused because he suddenly sneezed a few times while he was eating an apple.
“Mnm..”
He saw a luxurious carriage drawn by two winged horses descending from the sky into his palace.
“She’s finally back,” he said.
His eyes pierced through the carriage, seeing the figure of Su Mei who was sitting in it.
Only, her expression looked sullen.
“Has the problem on the Battle Continent gotten any bigger?”
Qin Yuan didn’t feel Su Mei’s aura trying to find him, the matter might have been solved, it was just that she was still angry.
Phew!
Since it was like that, Qin Yuan decided not to visit her because he wanted to focus on the secret meeting.
One day, two days, three days.
When the time of the secret meeting finally arrived, Qin Yuan flew into the sky, right above in the middle of the forest where Jian Yixue was.
Beside a waterfall, the girl was meditating, ignoring everything around her.
If you don’t have sharp eyes, you may not be able to see her figure because it seems to be at one with nature.
Minutes passed, and the gray smoke finally appeared around Jian Yixue.
“Now is the time!”
Qin Yuan’s eyes turned cold and his expression became very serious.
He pointed his right hand towards Jian Yixue while his body remained in place.
Rumble!.
A light rumble resounded above Jian Yixue’s head as a black hole large enough to cover the forest appeared above her head.
It spun at an unimaginable speed, sucking the forest along with its inhabitants.
“That…”
Qin Yuan’s eyes shone as he saw that the gray smoke was also being sucked in along with Jian Yixue.
“Will that work.”
He became very excited and directed more power.
Little by little, the gray smoke got closer to the black hole.
It seemed to be trying to move in the opposite direction of the black hole but didn’t have enough power to do so.
“Huh…” Qin Yuan clenched his fists until his veins bulged out.
Immediately after that the gray smoke entered the black hole.
“What happened?”
Inside the Hidden Heaven, the Dragon was shaken, leaving some of the members who had just arrived confused.
“Someone has grabbed the entrance of the Hidden Heaven.” Suddenly there was a strange voice with a strange language that was strangely understandable as if the owner of the voice was directly extracting the meaning of his words.
A nearly invisible figure with pitch-white eyes appeared at the Dragon’s side.
Only the figure’s eyes were clearly visible. They seemed emotionless and gave off an endless ancient feeling, seeming to have existed since the beginning of life.
All the members who saw those eyes froze, finding their bodies unable to move at all.
When they wanted to think, they found they were also unable to think as if their minds had frozen.
“What exactly is that?” asked the Dragon.
He seemed no stranger to the figure.
“Immortal Devouring, a technique that even the Heaven feared and once ravaged our Hell! I didn’t expect anyone to still be able to master it, it must be a peerless genius.” The mysterious figure said.
“Ravaged our Hell, how is that possible?” The dragon looked in disbelief while his words shocked the other members.
Our hell.
Did he say he was from Hell?
“It is precisely because of that Heaven has the opportunity to expel us from the Universe,” added the figure.
“Then what will happen to me, didn’t you say I will always be safe?” The Dragon started to panic.
“This is also beyond my knowledge, I don’t know how he detected the existence of the Hidden Heaven’s entrance… Of course, there is a possibility that he knew from the start and planned this.”
“You mean Jian Yixue had told him, didn’t you say it was impossible too?”
“Shut up brat, I’m confused too!” The mysterious figure answered in a loud voice, causing the Dragon to close his mouth.
“How would one get rid of the seal from the Hidden Heaven without being detected at all? This is absolutely impossible because this Hidden Heaven is the pinnacle of hiding ability.” He wondered.
“However,” the figure’s eyes stared at the Dragon again.
“You’re safe for the time being because he’ll need some time to open that entrance… He needed at least the strength of an Epoch Giant before he could start. But given his talent, he’ll probably reach that level in the near future, so you’ll need to become strong enough in the next few years for you to strengthen that entrance.”
“How strong?” asked the Dragon.
“As strong as a Third Stage Saint Ancestor at least!”
“Impossible! That would take a lot of time.” The dragon himself didn’t believe it. After all, now that he was only a Sovereign, he just wanted to plan a breakthrough.
“We can only use that way, if this plan fails, we will have to pay more and can’t come in this Epoch,” replied the figure.
“What?”
The Dragon, even though his face was covered in mist, one could tell that he had turned deathly pale by now.
“There’s no other choice,” the figure added with great emphasis.
‘What should I do? I don’t want myself to end up like that.’ The dragon wondered inwardly.
His index finger smacked the table, producing a continuous dong sound that echoed through the place.
He couldn’t help but stare at the faint lines on his fingers that only he could see.
…
Meanwhile, Qin Yuan entered the space where everything that was sucked up by the Immortal Devouring arrived.
Overall, this space was probably as large as the Thousand Stars Continent and became wider as his strength increased.
This space is under his control and he can turn it into anything.
It was basically like a typical Space Artifact.
However, there is one uniqueness that this space has.
Here, he can also create a void that can destroy everything in it.
That’s how Immortal Devouring works in destroying everything.
Jian Yixue was standing in the space, right beside the gray smoke.
“Amazing,” said Qin Yuan as he approached the gray smoke.
Here everything was under his control and he still couldn’t find any gaps in the gray smoke.
But one thing was different, he could now control it.
Relying on that, he broke the gray smoke into small pieces.
Right after that, something hidden inside finally appeared.
It was a portal and very small.
Qin Yuan barely saw it even with his Heavenly Eyes.
He then stretched out his index finger to touch it.
Clang!
As if touching a wall, his index finger instantly bounced back.
“Oh?”
Qin Yuan knitted his brows as he discovered the next problem.
The portal was locked from the inside so he couldn’t enter.
Bang!
Qin Yuan hit it and it made his expression ugly as his hand was instantly in pain.
He felt like hitting steel with a mortal hand.
“Now I understand why this is so difficult,” he said.
“But what about this.”
Around the portal, space became chaotic and little by little it started to disappear.
Zzz…
However, while space began to dissipate, the portal still persisted.
“Still not working and it seems almost as hard as my own body.”
Qin Yuan’s expression became a bit ugly.
That void might be able to destroy everything, but overall, it also depended on his strength.
Some things are so strong that the void takes time and a lot of energy to destroy them.
An example was his own body, which he estimated would take many generations to destroy.
He thought only if his cultivation broke through to the next level only then could it destroy his body in no time.
Of course, when his cultivation broke through, his body would also increase to another level, so the result might still be the same.
However, even if it can’t destroy something, it can still trap it.
And getting out of here was something much more difficult than defending unless Qin Yuan turned the direction of the Immortal Devouring rotation thus changing his ability from sucking to expelling.
Of course, that could only be done if he activated the Immortal Devouring.
While Qin Yuan was thinking, one of the smoke sections suddenly flew towards Jian Yixue, landing right on the palm of her hand.
It didn’t escape Qin Yuan’s eyes and he knitted his brows because he didn’t feel like Jian Yixue was using her strength to draw in the smoke.
The young woman also looked confused.
But then, her expression suddenly became as if she heard someone speaking to her.
“Let’s get out!” Qin Yuan finally brought her out of the space.
After arriving outside, in the now completely disappeared forest, he asked, “what’s wrong?”
“The dragon sent a message, saying that it can grant you the Hidden Heaven as long as you protect him,” Jian Yixue replied.
Hearing that, Qin Yuan immediately showed a confused expression.
“What really happened?”
