"Folded spaces are similar to formations . As long as one finds the door, one will be able to leave it easily," Luo Ruoxin said .
"Door?" Zhang Xuan looked around his surroundings .
The area he was in wasn't too big, spanning only around several hundred meters . Anything beyond that seemed to be blocked off by some spatial barrier; no matter how he tried to pass it, he simply couldn't step past the boundary .
"It seems the exit should be somewhere in here then…"
Since it was impossible for him to pass the spatial barrier, the exit had to be somewhere within the area he could move in .
Activating his Eye of Insight, he began observing his surroundings intently . Initially, he couldn't find anything, but a thought suddenly came to mind and he turned to the area where he had arrived, and after a moment of keen observation, he finally found a clue .
He walked over to the area, and with a light step, a stone platform identical to the one he'd seen when entering this folded space gradually surfaced .
"That must be the exit . We should be able to leave by stepping on it . " Luo Ruoxin smiled as she took the lead and stepped on the stone platform . With a slight flash, her figure disappeared from the spot .
"Wait a moment…"
Not expecting the other party to leave without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat .
Given that the Saint Ascension Platform had just been destroyed, the master teachers outside would surely be armed with their pitchforks, hunting down the culprit behind the mess . If he were to leave, wouldn't he be pummeled to death?
But since Luo Ruoxin had already left, he couldn't possibly leave her in the lurch . Deciding to just face whatever came his way, Zhang Xuan stepped on the stone platform as well .
Hu!
With a brilliant flash of light, the scenery changed . Blue sky and white clouds, accompanied with a light breeze, appeared before him, and a young lady stood not too far away from him .
"Hmm?" Zhang Xuan took a look at his foreign surroundings and was taken aback . "Where are we?"
From where he stood, he couldn't see the Saint Ascension Platform anywhere . It didn't seem like they were in the area anymore .
"I am not too sure either . My guess is that Kong shi knew that the destruction of the Saint Ascension Platform would cause a great deal of trouble to the one who solved his test, so he set the exit somewhere else," Luo Ruoxin said contemplatively .
"I see, that's a relief…" Seeing that he was spared from the miserable fate of being lynched, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief .
At this point, he had already realized that as one who had received Kong shi's acknowledgement, the other master teachers wouldn't do anything to him even if he was the culprit behind the destruction of the Saint Ascension Platform . The true problem lay in the existence of the folded space hidden in the cliff face and Kong shi's personal handwriting . If others were to learn that he carried such a treasure in his possession, others could potentially come after him out of greed .
Master teachers were respected for their righteousness and morals, but it was nigh impossible for an organization as big as the Master Teacher Pavilion to accurately assess the character of each of its members . Without a doubt, there would be a few who would succumb to their greed and go after him .
He didn't want to be assaulted day after day over a darned scroll .
After checking the surroundings once more and confirming that he was a safe distance away from the Saint Ascension Platform, Zhang Xuan's tense heart finally calmed down . He called for the Great Violetwing Beast to return to Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, and while waiting, a thought suddenly popped into his mind .
Flicking his wrist, a nest around the size of a football appeared in his palm .
The Myriad Anthive Queen emerged from the nest . "Master!"
"There is a folded space here . Are you able to put it into your nest?" Zhang Xuan asked .
The Myriad Anthive Nest's interior was only around three meters from one end to the other, and it had been completely packed with just a single Byzantium Helios Beast inside . For a very long time, Zhang Xuan had been looking for some way to expand the space inside the hive .
What was before him at this very moment was a folded space of several ten thousand square meters . If there was some way to assimilate both of the spatial artifacts together, he would really be able to call forth an army of spirit beasts at a whim to decimate anyone who irked him .
The Myriad Anthive Queen took a look at the stone platform and climbed on it for a moment before returning to Zhang Xuan with an excited gleam in its eyes . "Master, I think I will be able to assimilate the folded space into the nest . However… the process will take some time!"
"How long?" Zhang Xuan asked .
Anything concerning space was filled with intricacies, and the Myriad Anthive Queen was only a Perfect Harmonization realm spirit beast . Despite possessing an inborn talent for spatial manipulation, it still wasn't an easy feat for it to conduct an assimilation .
"I will require a minimum of three days to devour it completely, and several months to assimilate it into the nest," replied the Myriad Anthive Queen .
"Alright, I will give you three days then," Zhang Xuan said .
He could still afford to spare three days .
"Yes!" Having earned its master's permission, the Myriad Anthive Queen hurriedly stepped onto the stone platform and disappeared .
On the other hand, seeing that he wouldn't even let the folded space Kong shi had left behind go, Luo Ruoxin shook her head .
Other master teachers would be worshipping anything that Kong shi had left behind as sacred relics, not daring to desecrate it in the least . But this fellow… he actually intended on having his own tamed beast devour the folded space where Kong shi had ascended to Sainthood in… Really, just what was in his mind?
…
After waiting patiently for three days, the duo finally saw the Myriad Anthive Queen climb out of the folded space with a pale face . Its head had doubled in size, and there was an uncomfortable bulge in its stomach .
After having it return into its nest to expand the space in it, Zhang Xuan, along with Luo Ruoxin, leaped onto the back of the Great Violetwing Beast before returning to the Master Teacher Academy .
This trip to the Saint Ascension Platform had been worthwhile .
Through the Soul Tempering of a Mentor's Calligraphy, his Soul Depth had reached 21 . 1, comparable to a 7-star master teacher . He had also obtained Kong shi's personal handwriting, and even though he had no idea what use it served, it must have some invaluable use to it considering how countless master teachers would fight over it . Last but not least, he had also found a way to expand the Myriad Anthive Nest .
Having devoured such a large folded space, the Myriad Anthive Nest would surely expand to many times its original size once the Myriad Anthive Queen successfully assimilated the folded space in it . By then, he would be able to house the Byzantium Helios Beast, Great Violetwing Beast, his clone, and even his students in it . He wouldn't have to worry about bringing them around into inconvenient places anymore .
Days flew by like the passing wind for a cultivator . Before long, three days had passed, and Hongyuan City came into sight .
In this time, the Myriad Anthive Nest had grown to be around a dozen meters wide, allowing even the massive Great Violetwing Beast to enter without a problem .
Zhang Xuan hadn't been slacking off either . With the rise in his Soul Depth, his analytical capability had been enhanced, granting him a deeper insight to his cultivation technique, thus allowing him to cultivate faster than before .
