Chapter 2: Immortal Mansion Space (Great Repair)
Just after the hour of You, the western sky still retained a trace of crimson that was fading away.
At a certain moment, Liu Yu was sitting cross-legged as usual, cultivating and circulating the grand celestial cycle to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
His mind was completely immersed in the practice, moving with the cultivation technique.
However, when his spiritual consciousness passed through the Palace of the Mud Ball, a sudden and immense suction force emanated from a green light spot!
Before his consciousness could react, in an instant, he was drawn into it.
It felt like a long time had passed, yet also like just a moment.
After a brief darkness, his vision gradually became clear again.
Before him was an endless void of darkness, and wherever he looked, it was all dark and void.
Due to the thick darkness, visibility was only about thirty to forty zhang, and anything further was indistinguishable.
He had no idea how vast this space was.
"What is this?"
Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness swept around.
To his astonishment, he found that he had become a small red light ball!
The light ball was only the size of a fist, thin and dull, and felt weightless.
It seemed that a gust of wind could easily blow it away, sending it deep into the distant void.
"This state is quite peculiar."
"It seems very similar to the 'Primordial Spirit state' recorded in the texts."
"However, as a qi refinement stage cultivator, I shouldn't be able to possess a true Primordial Spirit; it must just be the yuan spirit embryo."
Liu Yu speculated in his heart, then turned his "body" to survey the surrounding environment.
Darkness, silence.
There was no vitality, no wind, rain, thunder, or lightning, no sun, moon, or stars—that was his first impression.
Oh, right, the green light spot!
Liu Yu suddenly noticed that there was a green light source to his right, seemingly far away from him.
His heart moved, and the yuan spirit embryo gently floated up, transforming into a red streak of light, drifting towards the green light source.
In a somewhat blurred perception, he spent about two quarters of an hour before approaching the green light source and getting a clear view of its true form.
It was a barrier that was about a foot in height, width, and length, with an overall circular structure and arched edges.
From afar, it resembled a green apple.
Inside the barrier floated a floating island, but the shape of the island could not be clearly seen through the barrier.
"But it seems devoid of life and human presence."
Liu Yu firmly grasped the connection in his spirit and had already realized that the green light spot was the blue barrier before him.
A wave of warm feelings emanated from the blue barrier, making one feel genuinely at ease.
He no longer hesitated and slowly drifted towards the barrier.
Without encountering any obstacles, Liu Yu easily passed through the barrier and found himself hovering above the island.
In this space, he was in a Primordial Spirit state, and his spiritual perception was sharp.
Liu Yu easily sensed that the spiritual energy in the air was very thin, only slightly stronger than in the secular world.
This island was floating in the center of the blue barrier and was made up of numerous gray rocks.
The island was only about a mile in circumference, but the top undulated like "mountains."
At a glance, the island was filled with gray rocks, barren and lifeless.
Below the island were many sharply protruding rock formations, equally desolate and devoid of life.
As for the area outside the barrier, it remained steeped in thick darkness, evoking feelings of loneliness and fear.
"Eh?!"
After a round of observation, Liu Yu was surprised to find a piece of black farmland measuring about an acre at the central flat area of the island!
The land was barren, with not even weeds growing.
To the right of the farmland stood a well made of blue stone, but it seemed to have not been used for a long time, showing signs of wear and neglect.
