Xianxia: Why am I here?

265 Hidden Cave space visit

Under the Bodhi tree, Wang’s aura was changing and the Qi codex that had reached perfection also seemed to be changing too, as it traveled around the body and become compressed with every complete cycle it was undergoing, absorbing the unique energy around him and seemingly evolving to another direction. The body also seemed to be enjoying strengthening other than just the benefits from the nine-turn golden body art, the nine-colored Qi that was being improved seemed to be responsible for it.

Passing through all the areas in the body it seemed to be strengthening them, but at the same time, Wang seemed to have figured out that internal organs had undergone another baptism and become stronger. He already could feel that his entire body was almost attaining some kind of state of completeness, but time was still required. Perhaps at that time, his body could become a world functioning with less dependence on the outside world. But this was definitely a very serious ambition and could not be accomplished at any time soon. Even worlds still had to depend on the space they were located in so he might need more than just what he currently knows to accomplish this.

As his thoughts run wild, he put his attention on the fact that he had just stepped into the law realm, but the utilization of martial arts or even divine abilities was not under his control, so he wanted to visit the hidden cave space. In that place, the environment is indeed suitable for challenging oneself. Running around in that place could allow him to be able to not only master his abilities faster, but also it can give him some benefits.

In that way, without wasting time, he took out some tokens and some details were imprinted on them when he set up the formation on the other side, allowing him to perfectly create a portal to use for entering the secret cave space from their territory. The operation was simple as it resembled the formation the family uses to go to the other side of the forest with a huge river.

In this way, he did not bother Ruruo that was sitting crosslegged, obviously, she had gained a lot in the previous time at the cave space. She was going to use it to improve her strength, while Wang on the other hand did not bother with this. He was more concerned about Fengxi and thus spend close to half a year with her teaching her some new techniques and also guidance before he stepped through the formation towards the hidden cave space.

The hidden cave space might not be the original name of this place, but that is what he gave it, even though it seemed like some testing ground with some opportunities. In each realm, the challenges seemed very difficult and thus he told his daughter to only enter and try if she felt that she had taken her combat power to the limit. He knew how tough the situation in was, but for the first time, she could indeed pass slightly faster compared to the other times. In that way, if she could enter with her combat power already at the limit, the pressure from the place could allow her to benefit greatly, after all in the first entry she might not have to fight anyone. He had such a chance and so did Ruruo, but she seemed to have used the opportunity to hone herself and improve her skills.

He had the same thought when he demanded she enter when her skills seemed to be impossible to improve then the chance would be used in the best possible way by her. In that, she can manage to improve before she tries the second time as the situation at that time would not be any easy to handle. He has fought the first battle and he can tell the place is not very favorable to the weak, in this way one has to take the opportunity to challenge only when some real improvement in strength has occurred, otherwise it becomes a waste of one’s time.

In order to make sure that one can have a chance, it is paramount to take advantage of the time and go beyond, which in most people’s cases is only an improvement in soul power, but for Ruruo and Wang, this is a big deal. With their current talent, an improvement in soul power is not just some minor issue as the soul, is what enables practitioners to get in touch with laws, and the stronger it is the faster one can perceive and comprehend them. Wang did enjoy that feeling of becoming stronger too and could not be willing to give up such a chance.

He is more focused on body cultivation and even utilized some of the best body refining exercises he could acquire, this place is something he hopes can give him a chance to accomplish more. This is even more so when he knows about the benefits of the time difference between this place and the outside world. He has never seen such a place in the period of time he got reincarnated and thus one could understand why he would be willing to seal up the place in the city so that his family could access it. This place is very important and the old man was indeed very smart that he set up some city in the vicinity of the cave to confuse the people.

.....

In a way, his methods seemed to have allowed the city to remain safe for such a long time and had they not gone around robbing others it would have remained even so. But he saw the old man had no choice considering the sinister technique he practiced. Perhaps dealing with things in that way was the only way to improve to another level by buying himself time. It was not the first tie he saw the use of blood as a cultivation resource, but the man’s action of using other people’s blood and vitality to burst out stronger combat power when he was battling Ruruo. But in the end, it came back to Wang’s conclusion, ‘external objects are not someone’s own strength’.

He had already developed such thoughts for a long time and it is also the reason why when he got the sacrificial altar, the first thought on the most effective way to use it was to set up something that could improve his strength. In the same vein, he believes that physical body cultivation could allow him to accomplish his goal just as much but does not neglect the other aspects.

He did not know how the hidden cave space would reward people, but in the end, he did not care about this, as he could utilize this place to train himself in the utilization of his power and even control. In any way, he was certain the place would provide him with fewer opportunities if only the improvement of his soul was what was being offered and perhaps he might be forced to stay in the environment with faster time just to grasp some techniques or even come up with others. To him, this place was indeed not easy to see through. But at the same time, he had some fears, as if the place was indeed not as he thought it, he might be pleased but scared.

Being a simple place that could allow him to refine his soul and fight against the reflections of himself is not bad, but it can make him slightly disappointed. In other words, he prefers it to be like this, but part of him still is skeptical as he thought he had felt some prying eyes the last time he was in this space.

If the place is more complicated than he thoughts there is a higher probability of obtaining numerous benefits but at the same time the restrictions might be too many. He did not believe that there exists free things in the world, but and the fact that he had to come undergo this tests, and and even attain benefits may not without some demands.

For example most of the people that leave behind some kind of inheritance or even a treasure have some conditions for this and would not pass on skills or even their life long wealth for no reason. In some cases, the even the owners of some hidden spaces have the desire to take over other people’s bodies. This is not something abnormal as no creature wants to die especially those that are stronger.

Being apprehensive is not because he thinks that the owner of this place might want to take his body, but rather it might be inheriting some karma which in the end pushes you to get revenge for them.

Such self defeating tasks are not what he might be willing to get himself involved with. Staring into the distance, he took the first step towards the fog in the hidden space cave.

“Let’s see where my combat power is compared to this secret space tests here?”
