Martial Master

At this moment, even You Qianxue furrowed her brows. The three individuals earlier were clearly locked in a fight to the death, yet upon seeing Qin Chen, the two pursuers unexpectedly halted their attack and were even so enthusiastic. It was baffling, especially since Qin Chen didn't know either of them. What were these two plotting?

"You Wen Cheng, what exactly happened just now?" Qin Chen, feeling puzzled, asked.

Just as You Wen Cheng was about to speak, a Martial Emperor from the Tian Gui Sect laughed, "It's nothing, nothing at all. Just a little misunderstanding. We found a spatial pool, and You Wen Cheng rashly intruded. We were worried he would leak the news, so we intended to keep him here. Just a small misunderstanding."

"Spatial pool?"

Qin Chen's eyes widened in surprise. In his previous life, as a peak eighth-stage Martial Emperor, how could he not know about spatial pools? A spatial pool is something that only exists in places like the Ancient Yu Realm, where the power of space reaches its pinnacle, forming a pool of water, akin to a spirit marrow pool.

The spatial power in a spatial pool is distinct from that in the Ancient Yu Realm; it is far more gentle, allowing for absorption without worrying about side effects. If absorbing spatial power in the normal Ancient Yu Realm is ten times that of the external world, then absorbing it in a spatial pool would exceed a hundred times.

Moreover, spatial pools often contain a large number of spatial crystals. Thus, if someone were to find a spatial pool, their gains would vastly surpass those of other martial artists. In the past, during explorations in the Ancient Yu Realm, it was not uncommon for someone to discover a spatial pool, leading to easy breakthroughs to the peak of the eighth stage. Consequently, many Martial Emperors would arise from that sect after leaving the Ancient Yu Realm.

However, after the initial excitement, Qin Chen's heart grew cold. If he had merely suspected the Tian Gui Sect's intentions at first, he now thoroughly questioned their motives, realizing they harbored ill intent. It was one thing not to know each other, but even among close friends, the discovery of a spatial pool often led to bloodshed. These two were unbelievably willing to share this information with him, which was entirely illogical.

"Did you really find a spatial pool, You Wen Cheng?" Qin Chen immediately turned to You Wen Cheng.

"I..."

You Wen Cheng looked somewhat stunned, about to speak when he was abruptly interrupted by a person from the Tian Gui Sect: "Qin Young Master, would we deceive you about such a good thing? If you don't believe us, you can come with us. That spatial pool is nearby, let’s go."

Saying this, the man reached out to grab Qin Chen. With a sharp sound, Qin Chen slapped the man's hand away, saying indifferently, "Why are you both in such a hurry? Let me understand the situation first."

The Martial Emperor's expression immediately soured. He had already mentioned the spatial pool, yet Qin Chen still wanted to verify the situation—what could there possibly be to verify?

Coldness flashed across his face as he suddenly extended his true essence hand towards Qin Chen, coldly stating, "This Emperor is allowing you to come with us out of respect. You must come, whether you want to or not."

Qin Chen coldly laughed, his aura rising dramatically. The spatial barrier fully expanded, and before the man could grab him, his true essence hand was frozen in space and shattered. The man felt himself completely bound, making movement extremely difficult.

"How could your spatial barrier be so strong?" The man’s face showed disbelief as he activated all his true essence, attempting to break free from Qin Chen's barrier, while also unleashing his own spatial power to create an impressive barrier of his own, trying to pry open Qin Chen's barrier.

Boom! The two barriers collided violently, yet no matter how the man utilized his spatial power, he could not break through Qin Chen's barrier. His mid-stage peak Martial Emperor's barrier was utterly inferior to Qin Chen's peak early-stage barrier.
