Chapter 499: Space-Time Domain
Pei Yunxuan sat in the space spirit core to practice. Ever since she obtained the analysis of the original space and continuously absorbed the power of time and space from meteorites during this period, her understanding of the way of time and space has been slowly growing. Two of the six black walls in the spirit core have been completely opened, and rows of golden runes are flashing in front of her.
There were some cultivations related to the field inside. After Pei Yun was overjoyed, he completely secluded himself and no longer asked about the situation in the outside world.
"Domain... within the domain, the mind arrives immediately, and the Dao manifests..."
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Yun suddenly opened her eyes. She left the spirit core and came to the tower.
She tried to circulate the spiritual power in her body while mobilizing her divine consciousness to combine the two. At the same time, a force of time and space burst out from her entire body, gathering together and spreading around her body...
Gradually, Pei Yun felt every tiny change around him, the slowly flowing water in the spiritual spring, the slightly swaying leaves on the wisdom tree, the various flowers, herbs and spiritual medicines quietly growing in the spiritual fields...
There were also the little ginseng and treasure-hunting rat playing in the soil. As soon as she thought about it, everything around her seemed to be frozen. When she thought about it again, two whirlpools appeared above the little ginseng and treasure-hunting rat. The two little ones were sucked into it and in an instant they were in Pei Yun's hands...
The two little ones looked at Pei Yun who was holding them with a confused look on their faces, but Pei Yun chuckled and touched their heads in a particularly good mood.
At this moment, she finally cultivated a domain. Although it was still in its infancy and not perfect, it finally made up for the lack of combat power.
In the Haoyu Continent, cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage are considered high-level cultivators. When high-level cultivators fight, they will be at a disadvantage without a domain, and it will be difficult for them to escape. Of course, this refers to ordinary cultivators. For someone like Pei Yun who has practiced a heavenly-level footwork like the Unique Sword Art, it is naturally much easier for him to escape.
Having cultivated the rudiments of his domain, Pei Yun stopped his retreat and left the space...
She now lives in Chu Zewen's home in City A. When she walked out of the bedroom, she happened to see Chu Zewen seeing off a guest, and the person was Wan Xiaoqing.
As soon as she left the room, the two of them sensed her. Seeing her figure, Chu Zewen's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "Senior Pei, are you done with your retreat?"
Pei Yun nodded. Wan Xiaoqing looked at the joy shown by the person next to him in a daze. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and greeted Pei Yun as if nothing had happened: "Senior Pei."
Then he said to Chu Zewen, "It's getting late. I have to go pick up Nan Nan and Bei Bei. I won't stay any longer..."
"Well, no."
After Wan Xiaoqing left, Chu Zewen came to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite Pei Yun: "My parents and my brother will probably get off work in a while, so we'll have dinner together then."
Pei Yun nodded indifferently. She had been in seclusion for more than three months. Now she began to ask, "Have the senior executives from your headquarters come to visit me since I went into seclusion? Especially your head of headquarters, Yi Tianfeng."
Chu Zewen restrained his smile slightly and frowned, "No, the headquarter director has never come to our house, and the senior management of the base has not come to discuss cooperation. However, Uncle Zhou, that is, Deputy Minister Zhou, and three other deputy ministers came to trade skills..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "...but recently fewer and fewer people have come to trade. I heard from my brother that the headquarters seems to have issued some order that private collection of meteorites is not allowed, and all meteorites must be handed over to the base..."
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly: "This order is specifically for me?!"
She said to Chu Zewen, "When I was at the base that day, I used my spiritual sense to explore it. There are three warehouses in this headquarters base that store meteorites. The quantity is dozens of times more than what I have exchanged these days..."
"I originally thought that if I could trade with the headquarters base, I wouldn't mind giving you the treasures and skills you need. Now it seems that your headquarters director not only has no intention of cooperating with me, but even intends to prevent others from trading with me."
"What is Senior Pei going to do?"
Pei Yun did not answer, but asked: "What are you going to do? Why do you think Yi Tianfeng wants to go against me and would rather not practice the technique than cooperate with me?"
Chu Zewen thought for a while and said, "...power."
He looked at Pei Yun, "It is no exaggeration to say that the treasures and skills given by the senior can change the world, make our source star take a big step forward, and make the strength of the superpowers soar. Since you are the one who controls these resources, your status will be higher than his. At that time, he will no longer be able to control the various bases like he does now."
"His prestige is still there, and the treasures or skills I gave him have not been able to change the inherent ideas of Yuanxing and other psychics. They will still submit to Yi Tianfeng's orders. How can I break the deadlock?" Pei Yun looked at Chu Zewen with a smile and asked tentatively.
Chu Zewen looked back at the person in front of him steadily, and after a long while he said, "It would be easy for you to kill Yi Tianfeng and seize the meteorite from the headquarters base. The reason why you didn't do it is because your personality and character don't allow you to do it..."
Pei Yun was stunned by his words. She really didn't want to seize the meteorite in this way. If she did so, what would be the difference between her and the demons!
But... "Are you so sure that I won't take the meteorite with such a simple and direct method..."
"If you wanted to kill Yi Tianfeng, you would have done it that day at the base." Chu Zewen smiled faintly, "Senior, do you know what your biggest weakness is now?"
"Weakness? What is it?"
"You are not from my origin star." Chu Zewen pointed out directly, "No matter how friendly and fair you are, you will still be questioned. In the eyes of many people, position is more important than right or wrong..."
"What do you want to say?"
"If you trust me, Senior, don't take action. Let me deal with him."
"What are you going to do?"
"There are 236 bases in Yuanxing. Yi Tianfeng has great control over the headquarters and the bases in the surrounding areas. However, the farther away from City A, the weaker his control over the bases. We will go back to City K and gather the bases in the surrounding areas. We will form a force that can fight against him and slowly disintegrate the power in his hands..."
"How much time do you need?"
"…about five years."
Hearing this, Pei Yun frowned slightly. Although she was eager to return to Haoyu Continent, she finally did not refute but agreed to his proposal.
The ancestor Jidao sent her here in the hope that she would help Yuanxing overcome the disaster. If she could help Yuanxing find a responsible ruler, it would be considered as living up to the expectations of the ancestor Jidao.
Pei Yun then asked about his injuries: "Are you almost healed?"
"I recovered more than a month ago, and I feel my spiritual power has also increased..."
This is of course the effect of the fruit of wisdom!
Pei Yun asked: "How did you get injured? Li Yi and the others said that your injury this time was not simple, you were ambushed..."
Chu Zewen's face was a little solemn. "There is a Qihu Mountain in the suburbs not far from City A. Before the apocalypse, it was a wildlife park, the largest in the world. But after the apocalypse, the animals also underwent genetic mutations. There are many strange beasts hidden in it. There is also a huge lake with strange beasts in the water. I received news that there is a meteorite there, so I went to look for it..."
"So you were besieged by strange beasts?"
Chu Zewen shook his head: "No, I encountered an out-of-control person. At that time, six out-of-control people surrounded me and attacked me!"
"A person out of control?" Pei Yun had only met one person out of control since he came to this world.
"Senior, you may not know that there were indeed quite a few out-of-control people when the apocalypse just happened, but almost none of them have been killed in recent years. The base has a barrier that is specially designed to shield against radiation, so there will basically be no more out-of-control people..."
"But you encountered six out-of-control people..."
"That's right. Moreover, the out-of-control ones are people who have lost their minds. Most of their attacks are chaotic, but these six out-of-control ones are attacking me as if they were being manipulated by someone. They can even cooperate with the strange beasts..."
If he had not exchanged a sword technique from Pei Yun some time ago, he would have definitely died.
"I'll go to Qihu Mountain tomorrow to take a look." Pei Yun said.
