Chapter 300 - 298: Gone?!
[Lifebound Space: First Layer (0-1000)]
Qin Yu was stunned.
What the heck, Lifebound Space?
What use does this have?
But with his little fairy wife right before him, he didn’t bother to look into it now, and scooped Su Xiyue up in his arms.
Then—
—hung her right onto himself.
Normally, Su Xiyue might have resisted out of shyness, but this time, she imitated a little demoness, her jade arms hooking around Qin Yu’s neck.
Her lips bit lightly, and her misty eyes turned dreamy.
[Emotion Point from Su Xiyue +10]
At last, once his little fairy wife had tired herself out, Qin Yu held her close, waiting until her breathing had steadied before finally shifting his attention to the flickering flame.
[Lifebound Space: First Layer (8-1000)]
"What exactly is this thing?"
Qin Yu was puzzled.
The main thing was, he didn’t actually feel like he’d gained anything new.
"Lifebound Space?"
He had no time to react—just one stray thought, and suddenly, an immense force surged from the flame, yanking him into the depths of a vortex as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself surrounded by endless, boundless white.
The place was vast and remote, with no borders in sight. It sketched out a vague, oval outline that seemed to conform to the ancient concept of heaven as round and earth as square.
What was especially strange was that, standing in this world, he could breathe freely—there was no sense of suffocation or pressure at all. It felt just like the outside world.
Qin Yu noticed that there was almost no Spiritual Qi here, but as he entered, the whole space seemed activated, constantly drawing in Spiritual Qi from the world outside.
Like a lake filling up.
Soon, the entire space was swelling with Spiritual Qi.
"Huh."
Qin Yu could feel that his Life Rune ran here unobstructed, exactly as it did outside.
He even thought, if he could transplant a Spirit Vein in here, this strange space might rival any Grotto Heaven Blessed Land out there!
"This..."
Qin Yu glanced around, full of questions.
Even though this space looked boundless, everything beyond ten miles from his view was blank, shrouded in some unknown mist. Whether he used his eyes or Spiritual Power, he couldn’t see through the white fog—there was some invisible barrier blocking him.
Even with the Celestial Eye, all he saw was endless white.
"So you can’t see the outside from in here?"
Well, that’s a bit stifling.
The space was big, but obviously no comparison to the real world. At best, this was... a little blessed ground?
Since it couldn’t generate its own Spiritual Qi, maybe it wasn’t even that.
If so... was this thing not actually that useful?
Qin Yu was puzzled.
Everything he’d received in the past always had a big purpose.
But when he moved his thoughts, the space seemed to respond—high above, the calm sky rippled and twisted, and images from outside emerged on its surface like a mirror.
"Husband?"
Su Xiyue, who’d been dozing lightly, now looked around blankly, seemingly at a loss.
Qin Yu had just been at her side—how’d he vanish so suddenly?!
"Whoosh!"
The instant Qin Yu disappeared, his Guardian Yan Yu appeared at the door, staring intently into the room. At the same time, her Spiritual Power swept out, searching every inch of the courtyard over and over, and finally, without reservation, her perception covered the entire main peak.
Yet, she still found no trace of Qin Yu.
She couldn’t even sense his aura.
How was that possible?!
Qin Yu had clearly been inside just moments ago—how had he just vanished?!
There wasn’t even the slightest sign!
Inwardly, waves of shock crashed through Yan Yu’s heart.
Could it be...
Someone actually snuck past her senses and silently took Qin Yu away?
No way!
If anything really did happen, the Su Xiyue in the room would have noticed—after all, the two of them had been...
...all tangled up together.
Besides, even someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment couldn’t have spirited someone out of her senses like this, without leaving a trace.
To Yan Yu, it honestly felt like... that guy had just disappeared into thin air, like he no longer existed in this world?
"Even Yan Yu can’t detect it..."
Inside the Lifebound Space, Qin Yu could see everything outside, completely unimpeded.
So of course, he saw Yan Yu outside the door.
As he puzzled over it, his expression turned a bit strange.
Could it be that when he was... enhancing his Root Bone, this Guardian was watching the whole time?!
Qin Yu frowned slightly.
He had a feeling that some of his secrets might already have been discovered by this Guardian.
Or maybe, this Guardian was even stronger than he imagined.
But... wasn’t the Hall Master just a Lotus Platform Cultivator? Are Lotus Platform Cultivators really that strong?
At the same time, Qin Yu felt a bit more at ease.
If not even Yan Yu could sense him, that meant if he ever faced an unbeatable enemy, he could always slip into his Lifebound Space and stay invincible!
And this space could even draw in Spiritual Qi from outside—so, worst case, he could hole up here and cultivate until he was strong enough to crush his enemies when he came out.
A miniature world of his own—there’s no way to overstate how valuable that would be.
Of course, being undetectable was one thing; whether it was truly safe... still needed some testing.
Maybe this very Guardian was the best guinea pig.
[Basic Time Flow]
"Hmm?"
Right then, Qin Yu noticed two new lines atop the little flame.
Time Flow—could it mean that time in here moves differently from the outside?
Thinking that, Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel shaken.
A different time flow...
This was truly unheard of!
However, because he didn’t want Su Xiyue to worry, with just a thought, Qin Yu reappeared in the room.
"Husband."
Su Xiyue immediately threw herself into his arms.
Right now, this always-cool fairy couldn’t hide the worry on her perfect, beautiful face.
At first she’d just been confused, not sure where Qin Yu had gone, but seeing Yan Yu outside the door made her heart race with anxiety.
Thank goodness, Qin Yu seemed just fine.
"You’re back?"
Outside the door, Yan Yu felt Qin Yu’s aura return to the room at once. She wanted nothing more than to barge in and interrogate him about what the hell just happened.
But with the guy standing there nonchalantly now...
It seemed a little inappropriate.
Never mind, never mind, I’m just a Guardian. I’ll ask him the next chance I get.
But for making me worry needlessly—I’m definitely jotting this down in my little notebook!
"Let me take you somewhere."
Qin Yu gently took Su Xiyue’s soft, delicate hand and said.
Su Xiyue was a bit confused, but she trusted Qin Yu completely. She didn’t ask more, just nodded her lovely head.
"Wong..."
In the next instant, Su Xiyue felt her vision swim—and the entire world around her changed.
