The good news was that Lin Tang had summarized all the martial arts techniques he had ever seen. Combining this with his innate understanding of the essence of the martial path, he successfully created a brand-new Cultivation Technique, marking the most crucial step toward breaking through to the War God realm.
He nad it the "True Dragon Nine Transformations." The "True Dragon" part was drawn from his original Cultivation thod, the "Supre True Dragon Technique." The "Nine Transformations" corresponded to the eight divisions of the martial path: Acquired, Innate, Master, Grandmaster, Heavenly King, Martial Saint, War God, and Immortal. As for the ninth transformation, it was ant to transcend the Immortal realm and escape the mundane world. In truth, it was still just a concept that he would need to gradually develop in the future.
In fact, even the portions for the War God and Immortal realms had not yet been fully created. After all, he himself hadn't reached those levels yet. However, the earlier stages were complete. His next step was to promote this technique and teach it to others.
The bad news was…
"My true body can't return for the ti being," Lin Tang said with a look of helplessness.
"Huh?" Lee Encai was taken aback. "What do you an, you can't return?"
"It's like this," he began. "I found that quietly cultivating the usual way was too inefficient. Rapid progress only cos from battling on the verge of life and death. So, I went to Langhuan Holy Land and fought the Blood Ancestor. I ca very close to destroying Langhuan Holy Land and annihilating one of his avatars, but the resulting explosion swept into a spatial maelstrom…"
A spatial maelstrom forms when you enter a spatial rift. Inside, powerful, destructive forces tear everything apart into a turbulent vortex. There's no concept of a fixed location within such a maelstrom. Anyone else would have been torn to pieces, leaving nothing behind.
As a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, Lin Tang had a deep understanding and control of space. Furthermore, his Immortal Artifact, the Yin Yang Mirror, managed to isolate him from the most terrifying shearing forces within the maelstrom, allowing him to survive unscathed.
But when he finally escaped the turbulence, he found himself in an unknown dinsion.
This place was incredibly far from the mortal world where Lee Encai resided. Even if he used his teleportation ability a million tis in a row, he would exhaust himself to death long before he could make it back. The Yin Yang Mirror could have returned him if it were at full power, but in its current damaged state, that was impossible.
"Wait… if you survived a spatial maelstrom, can't you just create another one to co back?"
"Creating another maelstrom could potentially bring back, but the probability is about one in a hundred million. It's far more likely that I'd be thrown to a place even farther away, in the opposite direction of the mortal realm."
Lee Encai was speechless.
If Lin Tang's true body couldn't return, she couldn't even hug or kiss him. She couldn't possibly treat his spiritual manifestation like an inflatable doll, could she?
"Fortunately, the space I'm in now is relatively stable. The environnt is similar to a primitive society in our world, with air, water, and food. I'd be fine either way, but it would have been tragic for Xiao Lu!"
"What? You took the princess with you?! Are you out of your mind? I'm so done with you! Fine, then! You and Xiao Lu can go play at being the creators of humanity in that primitive society. This is goodbye!"
"Don't be like that! I'll find a way back. Trust , please?"
There were two thods.
First, he could break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage. But without Shen Youling or Ning Yuexi, he couldn't perform Dual Cultivation, which made a breakthrough impossible. His only hope would be to find another human in his current world who also possessed a special physique. Moreover, he still needed a vast amount of Spiritual Energy to even reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Second, he could repair the Yin Yang Mirror and make it whole again. However, according to the artifact itself, this would require an even more trendous amount of Spiritual Energy. As an Immortal Artifact, it was immune to the madness contained within contaminated Spiritual Energy, but the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the air of his current world was only slightly higher than in the mortal realm. If the entire world was like this, draining it dry wouldn't be enough.
"In short," Lin Tang said, patting Lee Encai's shoulder, "I need so ti to explore this world and find my way ho. I'll be inconveniencing you all while I'm gone. Go buy a few high-quality massagers; I don't mind…"
"Get lost!"
When Shen Youling slowly awoke, her first thought upon opening her eyes was to cry out, "Lin Tang!" She sprang up and looked around anxiously. Lin Tang's house was still a wreck, but no one was there. Both Lee Encai and Lin Tang were gone.
She touched her face and then her body. Her injuries had vanished, and she felt no pain at all.
Were they captured? Or did Lin Tang wake up at the last second and counterattack? If it was the forr, who healed my wounds? If it was the latter… even if Lin Tang's dical skills are potent, he shouldn't have been able to heal so completely, so quickly. This isn't dical skill; it's more like a Spell! Does Lin Tang know Spells? Impossible! He's not a Cultivator…
"You're awake?" Lee Encai's voice suddenly rang out as she carried a new table in from outside. The original one had been destroyed by Tong Xinwei.
"Did Lin Tang wake up too? Where is he?" Shen Youling asked urgently, rushing toward her.
CLANG!
Lee Encai set the table down. While arranging it, she said casually, "He woke up, then he woke up, and we defeated the masked man."
"And then what?"
"And then he had to leave for sothing urgent."
"What? You didn't tell him my father was poisoned…"
"I did. But he said you two had already severed ties, so he had no reason to go save him."
"What?! Who said we severed ties? They signed it unilaterally; I never did! No, I have to find him. I have to beg him to help."
