Chapter 265: Space spirit
The reason for Lin Fan’s journey to the Thousand deep cave was just to enter the Thousand deep chamber and search for treasure inside.
“Frog, there will be treasures in the Thousand deep chamber, right?”
“Should be.” The frog answered hesitantly after a short pause.
“What do you mean by should be?” Lin Fan glanced at the frog. ~The Dark Nether Python is still fine, but the frog isn’t honest. It won’t betray me, but it has a lot of secrets. But nevermind, I can take my time. It won’t be fun to make him tell me everything at once.~
“Definitely.” the frog’s face changed. “There will definitely be some.” He said confidently.
Little black was now known as Old black.
“The Thousand deep chamber is a creation of the Thousand cave patriarch, so there must items left behind by him. I don’t know if he brought everything along with him when he left by tearing space apart.”
“Left by tearing space apart? Lin Fan said after a pause. “He could tear space apart here? I’m a Heaven Star Border realm cultivator, yet I can’t affect the space here. This shows that the Thousand cave patriarch was extremely powerful.”
Old black nodded. “The Thousand cave patriarch was a well-known elite ten thousand years back. The Thousand deep cave was a creation of his. Thus it would be simple for him to tear the space here.”
An elite?
Being an elite was Lin Fan’s dream. It was also something he was constantly working towards.
Lin Fan had already made up his mind when the day comes; he would be the only person in the world to be known as an elite. He’ll admit that he’s a weakling now because there are many cultivators more powerful than him that can suppress him.
The thought of having someone stronger than him gave Lin Fan the motivation to work harder.
“Let’s head to the Thousand deep chamber now.”
Lin Fan couldn’t wait to explore the chamber.
“Master, I don’t think we should go.” The frog said. It was slightly afraid of the chamber. ~Going there is digging your own grave!~
“Why bullshit so much?” Lin Fan said and grabbed the frog in his hands. “Hurry and lead the way. Stop your bullshit.”
“Master, it hurts. Don’t glare at me; I’m scared. Keep going forward.” The frog cried in despair. ~Landing in this criminal’s hands means that my life will be a tragedy in the future.~
~I traveled all around the world back then. After being knocked out, I woke up as a frog without any cultivation. Life was tough for me back then. When hope finally came, this criminal caught me, and I became his pet.~
~The past ten thousand years in my life were a disaster.~
Old black’s demon aura soared up into the sky as he followed behind Lin Fan.
Compared to the frog living in the thousand deep caves for many ten thousand years, Old black was considered an outsider like Lin Fan, who is unfamiliar with the Thousand deep chamber.
As they ventured deeper into the Thousand deep caves, the surroundings changed.
Streaks of lightning could be seen in the graphite skies, accompanied by roars of thunder. It was a scary scene.
Whoosh!
Earth energy wind blew through the area, slicing everything, including the thousand deep caves’ hard walls. Even the jagged mountain peaks were slowly flattened by it.
“This Earth energy wind was what blocked me back then. Even a Heaven Star Border realm cultivator will die immediately after coming into contact with it.”
The frog said seriously. It was more familiar with everything around here.
He wasn’t able to venture further because of the Earth energy wind.
“That’s weird.”
Suddenly, it dawned on the frog that something was out of place.
“What’s weird?” ~It makes too much fuss. If I was unaware of his background, I would have thought that it’s a country bumpkin!~
“The last time I came, many powerful beasts were living inside the Earth energy wind. Where have they all gone?”
“When did you last come?”
“Six thousand years ago.”
“Six thousand years ago?” Old black, who had remained silent the whole time finally spoke up. “Do you think all beasts are bastards like you who can live for a long time?”
“Old black, we have the same master now, and we will be working together. I hope to be treated more respectfully by the old black.”
They were in the same boat now, so of course, they would have to be on good terms.
Lin Fan looked around. There was nothing around him, not even the beasts that the frog mentioned. ~However, they must be extremely powerful, at least in the Heaven Star Border realm, to survive in the wind.~
Not long after, the Earth energy wind disappeared. The situation in front of him shocked him.
~This Thousand deep chamber is something else.~
In front of Lin Fan.
Closely packed, thin paper-like spaces could be seen overlapping each other.
“How powerful must one be to be able to create such a scene?” Old black gasped. He was suppressed by the Thousand cave patriarch with just one attack. He was unaware of the other party’s actual cultivation.
Back then, the Thousand cave patriarch wiped out Old black’s entire family. Out of anger, Old black came to the Thousand deep cave to challenge the Thousand cave patriarch. But just before he was about to kill him, Old black kneeled down and begged the Thousand cave patriarch to let him off in tears. Saying how difficult it was for him to become the cultivator he was back then.
Thus the Thousand cave patriarch spared him, but he sealed him in the cave. The seal would only be broken when Old black’s energy and bloodline were all used up, and he was back to the state of an ordinary snake without any cultivation.
It was a ruthless punishment.
“This is a repeated space layer. You will be lost as soon as you step into the area. You can only break the spaces repeatedly.” The frog said. “But since master has the key to the Thousand deep chamber, you can follow its guidance which would lead you to the treasures.”
“Stay here, you guys.” He said and threw the frog onto the ground. The frog landed with a tumble.
“Master, I believe that you would able to find the treasure. Me and Old black would be here waiting for your Triumphant return. No matter what, remember that a frog is waiting for you here.”
The frog said and forced out two tears, waving goodbye to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan ignored its antics and stepped into the repeated space. Within no time, he was transported to an unknown place.
“Woo! He’s finally gone!” The frog said and plopped down onto the ground, wiping the sweat off its head.
Old black stared at the space dimension in front of him blankly. “If not for the decrease in my strength, I would like to challenge myself and go in too.”
“Dream on.” The frog side-eyed Old black. “You will end up a dead snake if you do. This is a space dimension! And every space is an individual pocket. Since it has been around for such a long time, I guessed that even Space spirits would have been created. And every space spirits is in the Heaven Star Border realm.”
“You’re hoping for his death?” Old black turned to the frog in shock. That was unexpected to him.
“Nope. He’s my master, and I’m his pet. Why would I backstab him? These space spirits grew in the space dimension, and they are extremely bored and lonely. They love visitors and are likely to invite them to keep them company, forever.” The frog laughed. But it’s fine; he has the key. He’ll be able to find the treasure.
“Why did you do this? Why didn’t you mention it earlier to him?”
Old black made an oath to guard the peak for Lin Fan until his death and acknowledge him as his master. But if Lin Fan died in the space dimension, Old black was not considered to have gone back on his oath.
“I want to lead a better life. He treats me badly.” The frog sighed.
“This…” Old black looked at the frog in disgust. The frog’s comment was out of his expectation.
“So where am I?”
Lin Fan realized that he was stepping on flat ground. But when he looked afar, the land was just a grey, empty space. His surroundings were also grey in color, and there was nothing other than streams of air circulating.
“Is anyone here?”
Lin Fan shouted. Echoes could be heard in no time.
“Is anyone here?”
“Is anyone here?”
Soon, the echoes ended.
“This space dimension is mystical.” Lin Fan took out the key to the Thousand deep caves. Light could be seen circulating around the key. A ray of light could then be seen passing through the key. It moved forward and went up and down, giving directions to Lin Fan.
“A living thing! Are you here to keep me company? I’m so lonely.”
Suddenly, the Space dimension shook violently. The grey streams congealed together into a giant figure that stood about a hundred feet tall. It had devil horns on its head, and it puffed out streams of air when it opened its mouth.
“I’m going to the Secret chamber. Can you help me out?” ~ I’m going to get treasure. I don’t have time to keep a lonely person company.~
“Secret chamber? So you’re here to look for the secret chamber. Alright, but you have to make me happy first.” The space spirit’s voice rang out.
The Space Spirits were formed from the Space dimension. They didn’t have any emotions or feelings. The empty and lonely space was all they had, and they were lost in life.
“Happy?” After a short pause, Lin Fan asked. “Are you powerful?”
“Very.” The space spirit answered. “This is my world; I can do anything I want.”
“Great. Let me teach you a game that would entertain you; how does that sound?” Lin Fan laughed.
“Okay. If I stop feeling lonely, I will let you leave for the secret chamber. I will even give you a space crystal. Or else you have to keep me company here.” The space spirit reached out its hands. A grey-colored crystal could be seen in its palm.
Lin Fan was unable to tell the space spirit’s strength. But since he seemed friendly, Lin Fan decided to teach him something fun.
“Grab your head with your left hand. Are you able to lift yourself up with strength?” Lin Fan asked.
“This is a simple task.” The space spirit said and grabbed its head with its hand.
“Eh? Why can’t I lift it up?”
“Why can’t I lift it up?”
“This is fun.”
