The next day.
Xiao family’s rear mountain.
The entire rear mountain was firmly enclosed by the Xiao family’s mansion, with guards of the Xiao family all around, and surprisingly, there wasn’t a single person below the Nascent Soul Realm.
There were even more than a dozen cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm and three in the Void Refining Realm.
Lin Fan looked up and glanced at the mountains ahead.
This mountain wasn’t tall, only about seven to eight hundred ters.
One could see the mountain top at a glance, without any obstructions or even clouds and mists.
So many powerful figures, just to guard this seven to eight hundred ters tall short mountain?
It seems... excessively so!
"Eh? This mountain is a bit special!"
Emperor Jade’s voice suddenly transmitted in Lin Fan’s mind.
"What’s the matter?" Lin Fan’s heart stirred.
"The aura of space! There should be a spatial Array on this mountain! Don’t look at the mountain being only seven to eight hundred ters tall, but its interior is probably vast and not simple!" Emperor Jade said, also sounding very curious.
"Can you see what the situation inside is?" Lin Fan asked.
Emperor Jade ntioning that the mountain wasn’t simple implied it truly might be extraordinary.
Otherwise, Emperor Jade wouldn’t speak like this!
"I can’t see clearly, there’s an Array blocking! If it weren’t for these people here, I could have forcefully used divine sense to check. However, with these people around, if I forcefully probe, it might be discovered! Since you will enter this mountain later and go to the Xiao family’s secret world, you can check it then! No rush!" Emperor Jade’s tone was unhurried.
"Alright!"
Lin Fan secretly nodded.
He did not show any abnormality.
He slowly followed behind Xiao Tianmo and Xiao Yingyun, father and daughter, walking towards the mountain top.
About an hour later, the Xiao family group reached the mountain top.
Lin Fan arrived too.
In front, there was a neither large nor small platform, only a few hundred square ters in size, and at the center of the platform, there was a stele.
The space fluctuations here were very intense, even Lin Fan felt them; that patch of void was extrely unstable.
However.
Because many Arrays around the stele concealed its aura, the outside world couldn’t perceive it!
Otherwise, with the space power bursting out from this stele, it would have been noticed by outsiders long ago!
This stele was very ancient, engraved with difficult and obscure text, as if it didn’t belong to this era.
"Alright! You two, stand on the Transmission Array ahead, I will send you two into the world inside the stele. Yun’er, what you need to do is to lead Lin Fan to the treasure storage, and Lin Fan’s role is to open the treasure storage’s gate!" Xiao Tianmo pointed at a small Transmission Array in front.
"Understood, Dad!"
Xiao Yingyun responded.
Then.
She and Lin Fan stood on that small Transmission Array.
This small Transmission Array was very small, seemingly designed for only one person.
One person standing on it was quite comfortable, no problem.
However.
Two people standing together, there was a problem.
Lin Fan and Xiao Yingyun’s bodies were pressed together.
But, Xiao Yingyun couldn’t stand steady, seeming sowhat unsteady.
"Yun’er, stand firm! You can’t perform the transmission with you moving like this!" Xiao Tianmo frowned.
"But... Dad... I..."
Xiao Yingyun’s pretty face flushed red.
To stand firm, unless she completely shrunk into Lin Fan’s arms, otherwise it was simply impossible!
At this mont.
Lin Fan directly took action and scooped up Xiao Yingyun!
"Ah!"
Xiao Yingyun’s delicate body trembled slightly, a man’s scent entered her nose, making her entire delicate body soften!
This is the first ti a man has held her like this...
Thump!
Thump!
Xiao Yingyun could even hear her own heartbeat, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
And Xiao Yingyun’s entire body seed to lose strength, limply lying in Lin Fan’s embrace.
Seeing the two stabilize.
"Okay, start the transmission!"
Xiao Tianmo, seemingly unaware of his daughter’s abnormal state, along with several other cultivators from the Xiao family in the Void Refining Realm, began to activate the Transmission Array.
"Buzz!"
Mysterious spatial runes appeared in the void around them, coalescing and imprinting in the air.
Then.
A flash of white light glimred over Lin Fan and Xiao Yingyun’s bodies.
Transforming into a stream of light, they entered the inside of the stele!
......
......
When Lin Fan opened his eyes again.
The scenery in front of him startled him.
Ahead was a vast expanse of blood-red land; the sky was a murky gray, with no sun, moon, or stars, not even a trace of sunlight, and devoid of clouds.
The blood-red land was littered with broken bones and fractured weapons, carelessly embedded in the earth!
The whole scene resembled a battlefield!
"What place is this?" Lin Fan frowned.
"Imagine, a small family actually possessing an Inner Universe World! It’s quite surprising." The voice of the Emperor Jade sounded in Lin Fan’s mind.
"Inner Universe World? What is that?" Lin Fan asked.
Emperor Jade explained: "All directions and dinsions are called ’Yu’, all tis from past to present are called ’Zhou’! The aning of the universe encompasses ti, space, past, and future! An Inner Universe World is an independent spatial world! If this world is large enough, it can even form a universe of its own!"
"You an this place is a world of its own?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"Yes! But, it’s too small, only a dozen or so miles in scope, not much use, and completely devoid of Spiritual Energy! It must have been from the Ancient Era, when so imnsely powerful person carried away this land and forcibly created this Inner Universe World!" Emperor Jade explained.
Following Emperor Jade’s words, Lin Fan spread his Divine Sense to search.
Indeed.
The world inside the stele was too small, only about a dozen miles in scope.
His Divine Sense swept across and enveloped the entire world within the stele.
And indeed, there was no trace of Spiritual Energy in the world within the stele.
"So what place is this?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"I’m not omnipotent! How should I know, just ask the girl in your arms, wouldn’t you then understand?" Emperor Jade rolled his eyes and stopped speaking.
That’s when Lin Fan realized that he and Xiao Yingyun were still in an embrace.
By this ti, Xiao Yingyun had actually... fallen asleep in his arms!
The steady breathing, with a faint mumble, seed like she was dreaming?
"Ying Yun, wake up, we’ve arrived!" Lin Fan gently nudged Xiao Yingyun.
"Huh? Have we arrived?"
Xiao Yingyun lifted her head drowsily, rubbed her eyes, and upon realizing she was still nestled in Lin Fan’s arms, her cheeks instantly flushed red.
Because of her father Xiao Tianmo’s words last night, she hadn’t slept well.
During the transmission, her body felt languid, so she actually fell asleep in Lin Fan’s arms.
"Sorry... I... I didn’t an to fall asleep," Xiao Yingyun hastily let go of Lin Fan.
But there was a tinge of reluctance.
Lin Fan’s embrace was too warm, leaving her reminisce and captivated.
"It’s okay, it’s good that you’re awake now! But where are we? Do you know?" Lin Fan shook his head, then pointed at the distant battlefield.
"This is an ancient battlefield!" Xiao Yingyun glanced around.
"Ancient battlefield?" Lin Fan felt stirred.
