"Hiss!"
Chu Xiao had a thought and moved to the shattered Dou Di space, appearing on a mountaintop the next moment.
Looking around, there were endless mountains surrounding a vast plain, with numerous cities scattered across it.
A strange bright light condensed not far in front of him, and before he could react, it merged into his mind, and was assimilated with the help of the notebook, accompanied by countless pieces of information.
"The Origin of the shattered space," Chu Xiao realized.
At this moment, he had become the master of this Small World; theoretically, he could reach any place just by thinking about it, but in reality, limited by his Soul Power, he could only teleport within a hundred-meter radius. To go a thousand meters away, he would need to teleport ten times, consuming his own Soul Power.
It was also possible to go directly to places further than a hundred meters, but it required borrowing the Origin power of the Small World. He would first need to confirm the exact location before teleporting, but Origin power was a consumable. Before he became a Half-Saint, he could not replenish it himself, unless he obtained a Heaven And Earth Treasure that met the requirements.
When using the latter teleportation method, he needed to use the Origin to sense the specific information of the entire Small World, similar to having a 3D radar model in his mind.
Using the former teleportation method was like activating God's perspective, having a complete grasp of everything within a hundred-meter radius. As long as he improved his Soul Power, he could increase the sensing range.
"The first type of teleportation is power returning to oneself, while the second type is similar to borrowing tools or casting Divine Ability. If I'm not in a hurry, I'll just use the first type."
"It seems I need to be more diligent in contemplating the ancient notebook, and quickly increase my Soul Power. If I can Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm, it will become even easier."
While contemplating, Chu Xiao came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, finding that he could not see the end, as if peering into an abyss.
Through the Origin, he had a clear understanding of the specific situation of this Small World. His current location was the central Sky Pillar Peak of the space, which was ten thousand zhang high. It was where the ancestral temple of the Dou Di Family named Chu used to be, but it was destroyed by the Soul Devouring Clan. After thousands of years of erosion, there was basically nothing left.
The entire space covered an area of ten million square kilometers, mostly plains with various water Systems. There were no extreme weather conditions, and the Dou Qi in the world was more than ten times denser than outside, making it his primary Cultivation ground in the future.
In terms of area alone, it was larger than the land area of his previous life's homeland, yet as a Small World opened by a Dou Di, he only felt it was small.
"I remember the Ancient Clan's headquarters was located in the Eastern Region of Central Plains. The Ancient Realm was opened by a Dou Saint expert of the Ancient Clan, and after countless years of reinforcement and expansion, its area is now comparable to the Northern Region of Central Plains. In my previous life, someone calculated that it was equivalent to the total land area of more than ten Earths."
"This space opened by a Dou Di, however, only has the land area of one China. It truly is severely damaged."
Chu Xiao sighed in his heart, but he had no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
Although this Small World was temporarily incomparable to the Ancient Realm, for him alone, it was more than enough!
"However, before I Breakthrough to the Dou King, it will be a bit troublesome to go down. My Soul Power won't last long with teleportation. Should I first intercept Xiao Yan's Flying Fighting Skill?" A rather unkind thought appeared in Chu Xiao's mind, making him want to let out a "hehe" strange laugh.
However, thinking that he could have a Yellow-grade lottery draw every week, he felt that there was no need to rush, and he could consider it if there was truly no other way.
This was a damaged Secret Realm of a Dou Di Family. If anything could still remain after thousands of years, it would not be something a mere Dou Master could covet. He still needed to become stronger first.
The area of this Sky Pillar Peak was as large as Macau in his previous life, which was enough for him to explore for a long time and use for seclusion.
"Let's go have dinner first, and observe Xiao Yanzi. He should have met Yao Chen by now."
"Also, the notebook copy. If he has one, I'll bind him first, then I can appropriately lie flat."
With a thought, Chu Xiao returned from the Small World to his cultivation chamber and strode towards the door.
"Oh, right."
Chu Xiao paused and communicated with the notebook.
"Old fellow, I wonder what your situation is. I keep a diary and can draw prizes. I always feel it's similar to the lottery System I saw in novels from my previous life."
"I'll take the broken Dou Di space and the firmament chart's attention as a beginner's gift package. Now that I'm writing a diary, shouldn't I also get a 'start writing a diary' lottery draw?"
"My demands aren't high. I don't need ten or eight draws, how about one Supreme-grade one?"
Chu Xiao waited expectantly for the ancient notebook's response, but it remained like a "corpse," without any movement.
"You'll be disliked like this."
With a slight pout, Chu Xiao opened the door of the secret chamber and walked out.
After discerning the direction, he walked towards Xiao Zhan's private courtyard.
As luck would have it, when he was almost there, he met Xiao Yan, who seemed to be returning from the back mountain.
This boy had been depressed ever since his Dou Qi mysteriously disappeared three years ago, showing no interest in anything except Cultivation. Today, he had even been rejected by his fiancée, so his emotions should have been very low, but now his face bore a faint smile of relief.
Such an obvious change clearly indicated that he had already met Yao Chen and knew the reason for his Cultivation regression.
Of course, there was also a possibility that he had a copy of the notebook and, after knowing his cousin's future, was also full of hope for his own future.
The specific situation would require some probing.
"Xiao Yanzi!"
Attaching Dou Qi to his feet, Chu Xiao took three-meter strides and quickly arrived in front of Xiao Yan.
"Cousin." Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face grew wider.
He was already impatient to share the news that he could Cultivate again with someone he was close to and trusted.
"Boy, you must not reveal this old man's identity." An old man's voice appeared in Xiao Yan's ear.
"Why? Are you afraid of the light?" Xiao Yan's smile froze slightly, and he asked back in his mind.
"Why do you think this old man is in this state now?" The old man's voice was chilling: "This old man has enemies. The fewer people who know of this old man's existence, the safer it will be for this old man, for you, and for your Xiao Family."
This explanation left Xiao Yan unable to refute.
The old man called himself Yao Chen, and he resided in Soul form within the ring his mother, Fang Yi, had given him.
The Dou Qi he had Cultivated over the past three years had mysteriously disappeared because it had been secretly devoured by him.
Yao Chen could survive in Soul form; even the Dou Emperor experts he had learned about in storybooks weren't that powerful. When he conversed with him, Yao Chen even looked down on the sixth-grade Alchemist Gu He, so his former Cultivation must have been extraordinary, at least a Dou Zong.
The enemies of such a person were indeed not someone he or the Xiao Family could afford to provoke.
At this thought, a hint of forcedness appeared in Xiao Yan's smile as he said to Chu Xiao: "Today in the hall, thank you, Cousin, for speaking up for me. That was the disciple of the Yun Lan Sect Master."
"Are you stupid?" Chu Xiao reached out and heavily poked Xiao Yan's forehead: "I'm your brother."
These simple words made Xiao Yan's nose tingle, and he felt an urge to cry.
In these three years, he had seen the coldness of human nature, but only his parents and three brothers had remained unchanged; they were the closest kin he was willing to protect with his life.
Yao Chen: "..."
Suddenly felt a little guilty.
Han Feng, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!
