Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Robbery Thunder Nine Break, Reverse Space

The mini universe does not have a sun or moon, so naturally there is no concept of day or night.

Of course.

The concept of time flow as a whole exists.

When it’s night in the outside world, a cool breeze will blow in the mini universe, and during the day there will be a warmth everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, time reached around four in the morning.

Li Jing had spent most of the night looking for Shi Miaoxue’s master’s formation notes in the Tianque Palace Library, but he couldn’t find them.

However, he did not hastily give up.

The item surely exists.

The key is to know where.

He would have to look through millions of documents and texts which is virtually impossible, even with his advantage.

Another hour passed.

Li Jing pulled out a book from a shelf deep in the library and began to go through it.

The next second.

A prompt popped up on his status bar.

"Discover forbidden skill Robbery Thunder Nine Break, do you wish to log in?"

Li Jing spent the entire night looking for Shi Miaoxue’s master’s notes to no avail, he was nearly numb.

Reading a book, closing it, then putting it back on the shelf seemed almost mechanical to him.

Seeing the prompt showing it was a forbidden skill, Li Jing closed the book and was about to shove it back, but then suddenly halted his action.

Forbidden skill, Robbery Thunder Nine Break?

He retrieved the book that was about to be shoved back onto the shelf and reopened it, his brows lifting slightly.

To be honest, he wasn’t very interested in forbidden skills at this moment.

Mainly because if there’s no record of its utility, he has no idea what the forbidden skill does and has no plans to learn it randomly.

Through the night, he must’ve handled countless forbidden techniques.

Normally, this wouldn’t attract his attention, but the four characters of Robbery Thunder Nine Break successfully drew his attention.

Robbery, Nine Broken.

This.....

Clearly, it’s a thunder law forbidden skill!

After a night of searching, Li Jing found no less than a hundred forbidden techniques, but he never saw any thunder law related forbidden techniques.

How could he ignore this rare thunder law technique?

The utility of the forbidden technique is unclear?

It doesn’t matter.

As long as the technique is forbidden, its power will not be inferior once learned.

Speaking of which.

The thunder law in his hands will benefit from the enhancement of the thunder punishment rules.

Reading through the book carefully, Li Jing mentally logged in.

"Login successful, forbidden skill Robbery Thunder Nine Break learned."

Upon learning the forbidden technique, Li Jing distributed the 9 skill points he currently had on his status bar. He allocated 4 to the Thunder Break and left 5 points as reserves.

After allocating the skill points, Li Jing immediately felt the difference and a smile brightened his face.

His learning of Robbery Thunder Nine Break was not just because of his impulsive delight, but he felt it necessary to learn it as a precaution.

Under the influence of the thor punishment pattern, the power of the world thunder punishment is terrifying to the extreme.

Even Li Jing feels it’s dreadful.

However, the disadvantages are clear.

One is indiscriminate attack, the other is it targets only living beings.

He came to the Northern Polar Region mainly to hunt Ghostly Evil Beasts.

He wouldn’t miss the Beast Tide that will come in the next century.

However, Ghostly Evil Beasts are not living beings, so the World Thunder Punishment cannot be used for large-scale harvesting.

Although Thunderbolt Action can also be used for large-scale harvesting, it does have its limitations.

The first one being the need for clouds in the sky.

Secondly, the Ghostly Evil Beasts need to be within the corresponding cloud.

The thunder cloud generated under the influence of Thunderbolt Action is essentially a diversion, and the roar of thunder will only echo within the endless thunder clouds and won’t strike directly.

Therefore, Li Jing needed a reliable thunder spell.

Robby Thunder Nine Break, which he had just mastered, was not the large-scale thunder spell he had anticipated, but a forbidden technique that could enhance himself with thunder power and freely control sky thunder.

Essentially.

Robby Thunder Nine Break is like God’s Hidden Truth, it is a specialized forbidden technique for oneself.

The difference is.

Under the state of God’s Hidden Truth, Li Jing can’t use any magic spells.

Under Robby Thunder Nine Break, it attracts the power of thunder into the body as a catalyst, transforming its own strength into thunder power, achieving the purpose of freely controlling sky thunder.

In simple terms.

The release of God’s Hidden Truth turns Li Jing into an unstoppable brute.

When Robby Thunder Nine Break is released, Li Jing directly transforms into a thunder mage.

It’s not a large range attack skill, it doesn’t matter.

With the ability to manipulate the sky thunder at will, isn’t whether it is used for large-scale attacks up to Li Jing?

Robby Thunder Nine Break is divided into nine levels.

The later the stage, the longer the duration, and the greater the power.

Currently, with only 4 skill points added, Li Jing can only reach the second stage of Robby Thunder Nine Break.

But this is not a problem.

After all, he will eventually get skill points.

It’s worthy of mention.

Because it is a self-specialized forbidden technique, the execution of Robby Thunder Nine Break is extraordinarily efficient compared to ordinary forbidden techniques. It’s even faster than the self-specialized Body Divine Storage.

Of course.

The current execution speed of Robby Thunder Nine Break with only 4 skill points allocated is far from that of God’s Hidden Truth, which only takes a few seconds to cast. After all, the latter has already reached the Great Perfection, and their proficiency levels are not on par.

Having initially felt it, Li Jing now needs approximately twenty-five seconds to perform Robby Thunder Nine Break.

...

Upon learning Robby Thunder Nine Break, Li Jing put the book back onto the shelf and turned to walk toward another shelf.

The storage of books in the library is distinctly classified.

For example, forbidden techniques.

If you get one book about forbidden techniques, the rest will also be about forbidden techniques.

Having learned Robby Thunder Nine Break, Li Jing was not planning to learn a second one, even if there were other books on thunder law forbidden techniques on the shelf.

After browsing a few more shelves.

Before he knew it, Li Jing arrived at the corner at the deepest end of the library.

Seeing that this row had reached the end, he switched to another row and prepared to walk back.

At this moment, a call from Jiang Yini echoed through the library.

"Li Jing."

Upon hearing the call, Li Jing unconsciously stopped in his tracks, then in a heartbeat, he reached Jiang Yini, who was on the other side of the library.

Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, Jiang Yini picked up a book in her hand and said,

"I think I’ve found the legacy of Shi Miaoxue’s sect."

Li Jing was momentarily taken aback as he took the book and gave it a glance.

As soon as his gaze fell on the book, a message popped up on his status bar.

"Discovered the inheritable secret skill Reverse Space, do you wish to register?"

Upon receiving the prompt, Li Jing frowned.

Reverse Space.

This clearly indicates that the legacy secret skill is related to space.

But this doesn’t necessarily mean that Reverse Space is the legacy of Shi Miaoxue’s sect.

Jiang Yini would certainly understand this logic.

Looking closely at the contents of the book, Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Unlike all the other books, including those on legacy secret skills, he had seen tonight, this book had a detailed explanation of its uses, personal experience, and even pointed out the issues to be cautious of at different stages after mastering this secret skill.

Moreover, Reverse Space, this legacy secret skill, was not of any other kind, but purely of a passive auxiliary nature.

Mastering the secret skill of Reverse Space could deepen the understanding of space-related concepts, and enhance all space techniques.

When learning and controlling spatial formations, it also had the effect of achieving more with less effort.

When it comes to spatial formations...

It seems that this really is the legacy of Shi Miaoxue’s sect.

Flipping further, Li Jing’s eyes brightened.

He saw the Seven-Star Formation Map near the end of the book.

Seeing the Seven-Star Formation Map, it was definitely the legacy of Shi Miaoxue’s sect.

He read on.

According to the detailed explanation of the formation map, this Seven-Star Formation was a spatial formation with millions of variations, and different arrangements could produce different effects.

Finally found it!

Without any hesitation, Li Jing silently registered.

Shi Miaoxue’s master’s formation involved the Tianque Palace and Canglong Mountain.

Although he was not restricted by any formations in the Little Universe, it would be much better if he could completely control whether the prohibitions were effective.

The aspect of Reverse Space deepening the understanding of space also looked very tempting.

"Inheritable secret skill, Reverse Space, learned."

With the prompt appearing, Li Jing called up his status bar.

Looking at the panel, Li Jing exclaimed in wonder.

Reverse Space, which was clearly placed in the regular passive skills category, required 25 skill points just like a forbidden skill.

Damn it!

That’s quite a lot!

After a moment of thought, Li Jing assigned one skill point as a test.

As soon as he assigned the skill point, he felt an indescribable sensation.

It seemed like the interior of Heaven’s Pavilion became clearer in his understanding, and he felt faintly aware of the existence of the Seven-Star Formation Map that greatly influenced the Palace.

Confirming its usefulness, Li Jing promptly allocated his remaining four skill points.

After using up the reserve skill points, the interior of Heaven’s Pavilion became extremely clear in his perception.

The existence of the Seven-Star Formation Map also became incredibly apparent.

Li Jing even sensed that the seven array eyes that make up the Seven-Star Formation Map were made up of a metallic spiritual material with spatial properties.

Looking at the book in his hands, detailing the Seven-Star Formation Map, Li Jing found himself enthralled.

The spatial cognition brought by Reverse Space was truly remarkable.

He was able to understand the formation map that he was planning to study meticulously.

Keep in mind that he had absolutely no prior knowledge of formation methods.

Learning about formations mainly involves studying the formation map, there’s no magic shortcut.

Seeing Li Jing engrossed in the book and not uttering a word, Jiang Yini blinked her beautiful eyes twice and quietly walked away without disturbing him.

Anyone with sharp eyes could see that Li Jing had entered a state of enlightenment.

Disturbing him at this time would be akin to hindering his cultivation.

...

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

Li Jing sat motionlessly, holding the book detailing Reverse Space, as though he was in deep meditation for three hours.

Finally, he lifted his gaze from the book, let out a breath of relief, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.

This enlightenment made him fully understand the Seven-Star Formation Map.

At this moment, he was capable of setting up the Seven-Star Formation, but could barely alter the variables within the formation to create a lost-in-space effect.

However, this was enough for him to control the previously set up restrictions in both Heaven’s Pavilion and Canglong Mountain.

Having mastered the Seven-Star Formation Map, Li Jing felt its impressive might.

But no doubt, the most impressive was the inherited secret skill, Reverse Space.

With the deepened cognition it provided, he, a novice, was able to understand the Seven-Star Formation Map’s usage in a matter of minutes.

At this point, Li Jing was extremely sensitive to spatial changes.

Once again invoking the status bar and looking at the 5/25 Reverse Space skill showed, Li Jing couldn’t help but fantasize.

If just 5 points are this remarkable, it will be easy for him to maximize Reverse Space and even surpass Shi Miaoxue’s master’s skills.

Then, can he open a spatial passage with his own power just like Shi Miaoying?

Thinking about the potential benefits in the future, Li Jing, carrying the book, instantly teleported to Jiang Yini.

At this time, Jiang Yini was leaning against a bookshelf on the floor, engrossed in a book she found interesting.

Seeing Li Jing coming over unexpectedly, Jiang Yini blinked, looked at the book that Li Jing was holding, and flashed him a smile.

"It looks like you’ve gained a lot?"

"I wouldn’t say a lot." Li Jing said with a smile and handed the book to her.

"This book does indeed contain Shi Miaoxue’s lineage, the unique spatial cognition skills it imparts are very real. I don’t know if the current sects have similar knowledge, but even if they do, they may not be better than these secret skills. You should study this book carefully and try to master Reverse Space as much as possible."

Hearing his explanation, Jiang Yini nodded and accepted the book.

After all, she wanted to study this book.

Space - it is the dimension countless cultivators and researchers desperately want to explore, but it’s difficult to access.

The wonders of Canglong Mountain and the Heavenly Palace made her envious.

It was clear that Li Jing had gained a preliminary understanding through enlightenment.

If he highly spoke of Reverse Space, Jiang Yini couldn’t miss it.

Just as she was about to put away the books, Li Jing spoke.

"Don’t scan and archive this book for the time being. This kind of secret skill is best kept to oneself. It can have far-reaching effects, it might even enable us to actively open Secret Realm Passages in the future. Whether or not to reveal this secret skill, you can decide."

Jiang Yini frowned at his words.

Li Jing was very blunt.

Ability to actively open Secret Realm Passages in the future, wouldn’t the impact be massive?

But she didn’t understand what he meant by ’you can decide’.

Seeing Jiang Yini’s furrowed brows, Li Jing revealed a playful smile.

"You’re Jiang Liao’s daughter, you should understand better than me about how delicate the balance of our world is and the position Longyu has. What would happen if Longyu gains such ability, I think you can comprehend."

"..."

Jiang Yini fell silent.

She was always quick-witted.

Having heard Li Jing’s words, how could she not understand?

He rolled the ball to her court, asking her to make the decision.

Handing over the Inherited Secret Skill Reverse Space would bring immeasurable benefits to Longyu in the future.

But at the same time, the subtle balance of the world would be disrupted.

What would happen to Longyu then?

Crucially, it’s not a breakthrough in some sort of space technology, but an inherited secret skill from the Secret Realm.

Looking at Li Jing, who had put the ball in her court, with a mixture of irritation and amusement, Jiang Yini pursed her lips and said,

"I was just thinking, it would be quite nice for our Jiang family to have an exclusive inherited secret skill."

"Indeed, but my family has one too."

Li Jing chuckled.

Jiang Yini blinked and suggested,

"Then why not...marry into our family instead?"

"..."

Li Jing.

Seeing him choking up, Jiang Yini let out a chuckle,

"This stuff is indeed a hot potato, whether to hand it over, I’ll decide later. I’ll first try mastering it to see how far I can get."

Having said that, she brushed her hair away from her forehead and looked up,

"It seems like Sisi has made some impressive gains, and is currently in meditation. It looks like she got a hold of the bottleneck to advance to Fifth Boundary during her study of the books."

?

Li Jing.

Liu Sisi.....is meditating?

He’d been looking for books all night and got lost in enlightenment for quite a while, he didn’t really pay attention to what Liu Sisi was doing.

Turning his head instinctively, Li Jing confirmed with his unlimited perception in the Little Universe that Liu Sisi was still in front of the bookshelf where he told her many ice and water secret skills were stored.

According to her current state, Liu Sisi was indeed in meditation.

What the hell!

This works too?

Li Jing was a bit stunned.

But upon further thought, it made sense to him.

Inherited secret skills were not ordinary magic skills.

Reverse Space quickly led him, a novice in the path of formation, into enlightenment, and he even controlled the Seven-Star Formation Map. It was only logical for Liu Sisi to make a breakthrough once she mastered the right inherited secret skill.

He looked away from Liu Sisi and turned back to Jiang Yini.

"Sisi is meditating, she is unlikely to wake up anytime soon. It’s already daytime, and I plan to follow the original plan and venture into the deep ends of the Polar Region, what do you think?"

"I’ll stay here."

Jiang Yini replied, then said,

"With Sisi away, I can’t possibly venture out alone, and following you might drag you down. I happen to have a secret skill I’m interested in and some books to read, I might as well stay in the Heavenly Palace."

She continued,

"The books gathered here are diverse, and can provide quite an insight. I’ve gotten quite a lot out of just one night. I can vaguely sense the bottleneck to Sixth Realm. Just give me some more time, and I should be able to get a proper handle on it just like Sisi."

Li Jing nodded at her words, and said,

"Alright, I’ll temporarily deactivate the restrictions on the Heavenly Palace and Canglong Mountain, so you can move about freely."

Upon hearing that he could deactivate the restrictions of both places, Jiang Yini was surprised. She then said,

"Be sure to bring that girl Ya’er along when you go out. With Sisi meditating and me reading, there’s no one to accompany her."

"Alright."

Li Jing responded, then the corner of his mouth twitched a little.

He had been busy flipping through books all night, he actually forgot about Ya’er.

Now that Jiang Yini mentioned it, he instinctively checked on her.

To his surprise, Ya’er, who was supposed to be resting in the tower on the top of Canglong Mountain, had run off to the Spring Eye at some point and was lying on her back beside it in her true form.

Through perception, Yo’Er, who was already quite round, had grown another round...

It seemed...

Like she had drunk from the Spirit Spring until she was full...

He sighed internally, Li Jing teleported out of the Heavenly Palace and appeared beside Ya’er.

At this moment, Ya’er indeed had drunk her fill.

She had drunk so much, she was lying there panting heavily, on her back unable to turn over.

Seeing someone suddenly appeared in front of her, Ya’er sprung into action.

When she saw it was Li Jing, she strived to flip back onto her belly with her small paws, but couldn’t muster the strength having drunk so much.

After a while of struggle, she silently gave up and didn’t move anymore.

Li Jing looked at her and was left speechless.

He always found this little scaredy-cat quite amusing whenever she saw him and turned weak.

But now...

He squatted down and poked her round belly.

"Does it hurt?"

In response to his question, Ya’er, who was lying there unable to roll over, blinked her big eyes a couple of times and nodded without a word.

"Hmm..."

"Don’t drink too much next time, Spirit Spring water is good, but it’s not that good."

Li Jing said, and channeled a bit of his Spiritual Power towards her.

With the nourishment of his Spiritual Power, Ya’er immediately felt much better.

Li Jing effortlessly picked up Ya’er by her scruff and put her on his head.

"Having drunk so much, don’t let it go to waste. Absorb it well, we’re going out."

"Ok."

Ya’er obediently replied and tucked herself above Li Jing’s head, eyes closed, absorbing the energy.

It was agreed yesterday that Li Jing would bring her along today.

The little one had remembered.

Even though she was somewhat afraid of Li Jing, in reality, she was quite close with him, extremely obedient.

In the past,

Ya’er would do nothing after eating her fill.

Spiritual beasts naturally possess the ability to absorb nutrients from spiritual objects.

Indeed,

Just from the perspective of absorbing spiritual things, their absorption ability is countless times stronger than monsters.

The issue was they usually didn’t do so.

The "reputation" of spiritual beasts for idling around and waiting for their demise isn’t casually attached.

They just loved eating, then lazed about...

If Li Jing hadn’t made a request this time, Ya’er would basically lie down and wait for natural digestion, then solve the problem with one urination.

...

Taking Ya’er with him, Li Jing left the Little Universe.

Back in the Heavenly Saint Land, he first cautiously looked around.

Yesterday he had fabricated his route to the eastern continent, so Shi Miaoxue would most likely have pursued him there.

Even if she didn’t pursue him,

An entire night had passed, and she couldn’t possibly still be around.

However, there was a saying "better safe than sorry". If Shi Miaoxue was lurking nearby, it would be awkward.

Having confirmed that Shi Miaoxue was gone, Li Jing cast a glance at the location of the overlapping space, then plucked out a Spirit Soldier to continue northward into the extreme land.

...

The Northern Polar Region was boundlessly vast.

Li Jing, with Ya’er, kept going deeper, travelling for an entire day.

Without realizing it, night had fallen.

The deeper he went into the extreme land, the rarer the native creatures became.

However, those he could encounter, were increasingly powerful.

Not long ago, while passing a snow mountain, Li Jing even saw a spiritual beast looking like an Arctic bear with almost 9000 health bar on its head.

A half-step seventh realm. Such a level of spiritual beast was not common.

At least up to now, this was the first time Li Jing had seen a beast of the sixth realm.

All the beasts above the sixth realm that he had seen were monsters.

Without disturbing the big bear-like spiritual beast, Li Jing continued to dive deeper with Ya’er.

The night in the extreme land was relatively bright.

There was no significant influence on his field of vision, so traveling was not a problem.

What made Li Jing a little impatient was,

all the way, he had not seen even a single Ghostly Evil Beast roaming the ground.

There must be Ghostly Evil Beasts along the way, but they seemed to be hiding in the ice below the accumulated snow of the extreme land.

Night fell deeper.

Having walked for nearly four more hours, Ya’er, lying on Li Jing’s head, suddenly moved.

"Daddy, something far ahead is watching us, it must be a Ghostly Evil Beast."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing paused, stopping the Spirit Soldier.

"How many are there?"

"Just one."

Ya’er replied, twisting her body uneasily.

"But it’s a very powerful individual, just sensing its existence sent chills down my spine."

Hearing such a response, Li Jing looked disappointed.

Does it matter if the Ghostly Evil Beast is strong?

The important thing is the quantity!

Just as he was thinking that one is better than nothing and a mosquito leg is still meat, Li Jing was about to continue forward while controlling the Spirit Soldier, a chilling voice suddenly sounded at his ear.

"Human, this is not a place for you."

?

Li Jing. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The cold voice sounded directly in his ear, undoubtedly transmitted by some means.

So,

Who was speaking?

The powerful Ghostly Evil Beast that Ya’er sensed?

As soon as he guessed, a green-grey phantom slowly rose from the distant front and finally hovered at his level.

Looking at the phantom from a distance, Ya’er shivered and shrunk her body.

Seeing the phantom, Li Jing’s eyebrows furrowed.

This phantom, without a doubt, was a Ghostly Evil Beast.

Its hovering and confronting him from a distance obviously meant the ear message was from it.

A Ghostly Evil Beast that could transmit messages?

The ability to transmit messages and express oneself meant it had an independent will, right?

Looking again at the health bar above the distant phantom, Li Jing was taken aback.

11231.

An eighth realm Ghostly Evil Beast!

This is...a bit too strong.

A full realm higher than him.

But that was not the point.

The point was that although the phantom appeared in a grey form with red eyes, it was not a distorted human figure. Its outline perfectly matched the human form, looking like an old man leaning on a crutch.

Not only that.

Li Jing didn’t feel the usual pain and sadness found in Ghostly Evil Beasts from this phantom.

Apparently, the one before him was not a common Ghostly Evil Beast.

It was more like a unique individual.

Narrowing his eyes, Li Jing spoke out.

"So, what exactly are you?"

"The Guardian of the North."

The phantom replied.

While speaking, as if the prove his weight in the Northern Polar Region, he gently raised his hand.

Immediately after,

Countless grey phantoms sprang up from the snow-laden ground behind him, converging into an endless group, silently screaming at him.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing almost couldn’t hold on.

This dude!

He knows stuff!
