Ye Chen thought for a day, pondered and kept quiet.
Ye Chen sighed softly then got up to his feet, his eyes changed, "It's not time to reflect on fate, there's still a lot to do in the future" he said in a stern voice.
"Baojing, I will cultivate, after that we find teacher Baji. There's still so much I want to know."
"Okay sir." replied Baojing who had always been by Ye Chen's side, never leaving him.
...
"Master, congratulations, you managed to break through the high stage."
"Thank you," said Ye Chen who was still feeling dissatisfied, he should be able to get to the peak stage, a little more. "I will try to use it." continued Ye Chen and took out the storage ring that his father left behind.
After observing him for a while, Ye Chen began to concentrate on using his soul consciousness to look at the contents of the ring. Unfortunately it didn't work, no matter how many times it was tried, the result remained the same, it couldn't penetrate it.
"It seems like something is wrong." Ye Chen muttered then called out to Baojing. "Do you know anything?"
Baojing grabbed the ring and observed, "According to Baji's teacher, this should be a key, but why can't you break through it?" inwardly, then asked if there were no formation seals there that Ye Chen answered by shaking his head.
"Wait, did you say a key?"
"Right, sir, wasn't it told you before?" baojing replied, quite surprised to see Ye Chen's reaction.
"Ah right too, why am I so stupid. Try here, get me the ring." Ye Chen got another thought. Together with Baojing, he went towards the black hole that reappeared.
Just getting closer, the ring in Ye Chen's hand shook gently. Ye Chen opened his hand and left the ring on the palm.
The wuss...
The ring is slowly moving towards the black hole. Starting with a small spark with a sound like an electric shock, the black hole slowly turns into a bright hole and soon becomes brighter until it dazzles the eyes and returns to dim.
"Sir...."
"I was wrong, I thought it was a storage ring all along, it was a key, like you said." Ye Chen smiled, he finally knew the usefulness of the ring.
"Come, we're in."
"But sir, what if the portal is not stable? Baojing hesitated, the black hole in front of him had now turned into a dimensional portal. Although this was not the first time he saw a portal but still the portal in front of him was a black hole that could take him anywhere if not lost forever.
"We won't know before trying it, didn't you say it was a link to the Devil's realm? do you doubt your own teacher's words?"
"That's not so, sir, even though Master Baji said so, but you know, I've never been there either."
"Here you go, let's see it when we get there. May what teacher Baji says be true." Ye Chen said and without hesitation entered the portal with Baojing. Not to forget he reminded Baojing to install a body shield to avoid bad things that might happen.
This was the first time Ye Chen had entered a dimensional portal in a conscious state, far in front of him was seen a small hole while on his right left was scattered with dim light.
"Not bad" Ye Chen said as he exited, in front of him standing, a stretch of arid land blocked out. As far as the eye can see, only this is visible, the air here is very thin.
"Master, this place is very unstable.be careful" Baojing warned Ye Chen. Not without reason, often underground sounds like people snoring, not to mention black clouds with small lightning that is sometimes seen in the distance.
"What about the portal, sir?" Baojing reminded Ye Chen. The portal is their way in and also their way out. They would be trapped there if the portal was lost or damaged.
"Right as well," Ye Chen exclaimed almost forgetting the important thing. "Then, it's sealed." he continued, but the surprising thing happened just as he stood in front of the portal. The lock of the ring-shaped portal suddenly floated into his hand. Ye Chen caught him, "This is a good thing hehe" he said with a smile.
After that above the sky was seen a black flying boat hovering at a height.
...
Deep in another realm, a dimension trembled and then shattered. From inside appeared an old man dressed in all black. Its aura was so powerful that all living things within a radius of one kilometer were far away.
"You finally showed up, too, a long time ago. Hahaha this time I'll make sure I get it."
This man then darted away carrying a wide grin.
The same thing happened in two different places.back two old men appeared, carrying an aura that was no less powerful than the first man.
In the upper realms.
"Brother Jun, I got a signal from king Gunma. Did you take it too?"
"I came straight here as soon as I got the signal. Did something happen? or maybe the waiting has arrived?"
They were patriarch Xiao, the leader of the God Pill sect and patriarch Jun, the leader of the Heaven Sword sect. They stood in front of the dimension they had destroyed before.
"So, let's just wait. But are you sure King Gunma can get out of there?"
"It's your fault you broke the gate."
"I didn't do it."
They argue with each other. A few days ago, the two of them smashed through the dimensional gate in anger seeing that the dimension was sealed from within.
Patriarch Jun sighed, "Here you go, I think king Gunma can come out. Don't say anything weird once you meet him."
"Of course, I won't be that stupid." patriarch Xiao said.
"Both of you, find and get the boy, grab the ring-shaped black stone that's on him."
Patriarch Xiao and patriarch Jun looked at each other hearing this voice, a voice they were familiar with, a voice that made them shiver in fear and obediently, the two of them knelt down. "We obey the king's command." they said in unison.
This voice came from within the dimension, a voice sent directly into the minds of the two of them. You can imagine the power of what the sender of the sound has, even his voice can penetrate through the dimensional gap.
"Go and bring the ring here." he ordered again.
After saluting once more, patriarch Jun and patriarch Xiao hurried away. Although they do not know where to look, they still go.
On the other hand, the black-robed people also started to move. Not in the same place but in another place, a place known by the name of low nature.
The confusion will repeat again.
