The Immortal Realm was an important advantage to increase his chance of survival. Thus, he needed the Immortal Pellet in Dragon Lizard's hand. He wanted to break through as soon as possible.
Listening to him, Audrey looked pensive. She didn't continue the topic afterward.
Putting the wine jug away, Audrey made up her mind. She would use the three souls in the jug to increase her realm.
Shi Yan was distressed under the heavy pressure even though he had Third Sky of Incipient God Realm. She had just First Sky of Incipient God Realm. She needed to increase her power. Otherwise, she would need Shi Yan to protect her all the time. She didn't want to be a burden.
As the Princess of Imperial Dark Tribe, she was the Daughter of Heaven in Desolate Territory. It was humiliating when she let a man protect her.
"I also want to see if I can find any treasure suitable for me. We can be assured if we get stronger. We're not sure about anything. We must be careful."
Shi Yan frowned and then relaxed his mind. He sent his Soul Consciousness to see if he could find any materials that could help him.
His Soul Consciousness rippled like waves, slowly expanding from him unceasingly.
He looked disappointed as his Soul Consciousness had almost finished searching the trading area without a positive result.
While he was about to give up, his soul was touched.
A flow of magnificent space energy came to him from a remote corner of the jade platform. His eyes brightened. He didn't hesitate and walked directly toward that area.
Audrey's eyes fixed on him. Seeing him walk away as if he got something, she hurried to follow closely behind him.
Her elegant face had some strange gleam. Looking at Shi Yan's back, she sighed inwardly. No one knew what she was thinking in her mind at this moment.
Shortly after, the two stopped by a corner of the jade platform in front of an ugly alien. She was an old woman with a warty face skin like a toad. She had pointy ears and her hair grew lushly like wild weed. Her hair had covered her body entirely and made her look like she was hiding in a haystack.
In front of her was a glass container that held nine crystal jades. The jades didn't glow and because the container had sealed them, they didn't emit any special energy fluctuation. The old woman didn't look up as if she was snoozing. After Shi Yan and Audrey had arrived, she didn't have any reaction.
Audrey was gingerly. As soon as she came, she recognized a wisp of slithering Soul Consciousness like the tongue of a venomous snake creeping around her. She understood that even though the old woman didn't open her eyes, she was still watching them.
Releasing her soul to sense, she became more gingerly. She shot Shi Yan a discreet look.
Unexpectedly, the old woman was one of the warriors at First Sky of Immortal Realm. The energy fluctuating from her body was really magical. It seemed like she could create illusions. Audrey found layers of illusions in her soul. She wanted to sink in them.
"Fantasy Boundary Stone. What kind of magical stone is it?" Shi Yan asked all of a sudden.
While sensing, he had found the strange space energy fluctuation. Thus, he followed it and came here. When he approached the old woman, he found a strange feeling that the seven stones seemed to be able to create the seven different worlds. Shi Yan was really curious.
The old woman finally opened her eyes and spoke indifferently, "The Fantasy Boundary Stone is useful to the ones cultivating Space power Upanishad only. When they use space energy to activate it, the stone can become a small space. It's like a hot air balloon. The more energy you pour in it, the bigger it can be."
"A small stone can become a whole tiny world? Is it really that magical?" Shi Yan was very surprised.
The old woman snorted and pouted her lips. "No, not really. The small world that the Fantasy Boundary Stone creates can't last forever. It can remain for a while. Otherwise, why would it be called "Fantasy"? This Fantasy Boundary Stone can be used as a weapon to warriors cultivating Space power Upanishad. They can use it to confine their enemies. Once they capture the enemies in that world, they can detonate it. It will kill or wound the enemies badly!"
Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He nodded and smiled. "To what level of an enemy can it kill?"
"It depends on the user," the old woman thought and then explained, "As you have only Third Sky of Incipient God Realm, the world created by your God power may kill a warrior at the same realm or hurt a warrior at a slightly higher realm when you detonate it. You can even confine the Immortal Realm expert for a short time. Of course, what matters here is whether you can drag your enemy into that world or not."
The Fantasy Boundary Stone had never existed in Desolate Territory. Shi Yan had never heard about this stone before. However, listening to her explanation, Shi Yan was sure this item was suitable for him. After refining it, it could become a small world that he could use to imprison enemies, burst them, or hurt them. It wasn't an ordinary item, indeed.
"She didn't say what she wanted to exchange for these stones," Audrey reminded Shi Yan.
Shi Yan noticed that there wasn't a sign of the things that the old woman wanted to trade. He was a little surprised.
While he was about to ask about that, the old woman spoke up, "What I need is related to this Fantasy Boundary Stone. I need a warrior cultivating Space power Upanishad to help me. The ones interested in the Fantasy Boundary Stone are the ones cultivating Space power Upanishad. Thus, I don't need to make any note."
Releasing a flow of energy, Shi Yan chuckled. "You see, I'm cultivating Space power Upanishad. What do you need help with?"
The old woman lifted up her head to study Shi Yan for a while and then shook her head. "Your realm isn't profound enough. If your teacher is here, perhaps he can help me. I can give you those Fantasy Boundary Stones. Anyway, you don't have the capability to help me with what I want to do."
"What is that? Can you tell me a little bit?" Shi Yan was surprised.
The old woman hesitated for a while. Something flashed in her sleeve and a small lock shimmering in silver light appeared. This silver lock was as big as a hand, but it had so many carvings of fine spatial patterns. There were at least hundreds of small spatial formations carved on this lock.
"This space lock is sealed. The space inside the lock has something important to me. I don't have the key. I need a warrior with Space power Upanishad to unlock it layer by layer. To unlock a spatial lock, you have to do it in one try. At your realm and cultivation base, you don't have enough power to do so."
She shook her head and didn't try to be polite when she said that Shi Yan didn't have sufficient power. "If your teacher or your friend is at the Immortal Realm, they can try. Anyway, I have to say that you can only get the Fantasy Boundary Stones after you unlock it. If you fail, you'll get nothing."
The spatial lock confined a small space. If it was forced to open or opened with the wrong methods, the lock would explode and smash that space. If the operator was rash, he could have to pay with his life. Only experts cultivating Space power Upanishad could use the Soul Consciousness with space power and God power to solve the formations on the lock one by one.
During this process, he could not pause. He had to finish them in one try. Otherwise, the magical space formations would change and create new complicated formations.
The old woman explained everything to Shi Yan in detail because he cultivated Space power Upanishad. She hoped that his teacher or his friend had sufficient power and they could bring her a little surprise.
"To solve the spatial lock, does it require a profound understanding of the power Upanishad and condensed God power?" Shi Yan pondered and then asked.
"Yes, both of them. However, the pure and condensed God power is more important. Because if you have enough God power, you can last longer and you can have more time to think and solve it. Otherwise, even if you have a good grasp of knowledge, your insufficient energy will make you fail." The old woman understood the features of the lock well.
Shi Yan nodded and indicated that he understood. He rubbed his chin and pondered, "Can we move to another place to talk?"
The murky eyes of the old woman brightened. The energy fluctuating from her became strange. A strange but pleasant aroma emitted from her ugly body. Shi Yan was stunned. The aroma was so delighted that it was like the fragrance of a charming, mature woman. It completely contrasted to her fearsome appearance.
"If you don't mind, we'll go to my place to discuss," she invited.
Shi Yan and Audrey exchanged looks. Shi Yan nodded with a smile, "Okay."
The old woman wiped her hand and the container with the Fantasy Boundary Stone disappeared. She stood up and walked out of the trading zone. As soon as she came to the area where they were allowed to fly, she flew up and headed to a place on the rock wall.
Shi Yan and Audrey followed her. Shortly after, she brought them to a remote cave. This place was a lot similar to their lodge. It was spacious but plain.
As soon as the two of them got inside the cave, the old woman set up a barrier to cover her lodge. After she was done, she said seriously. "Kid, do you have any teacher or precursor cultivating Space power Upanishad? If he's here, please call them. As long as they can unlock the spatial lock for me, I will offer more than the seven Fantasy Boundary Stones. I'm sure I can delight him!"
"What do you think about me?" Shi Yan smiled.
She frowned and suddenly became outraged. "I don't have the time or extra energy to waste my time with you. You can leave now. At your realm and cultivation base, you can't solve this spatial lock!"
"Oh, you said that the God power is more important…"
Shi Yan curled his lips. He wasn't angry. He just rose one finger and pointed at the old woman.
Radiant light shot out of his finger. So many space slits like torn ribbons emerged together with sharp space blades. When his finger pointed forward, they immediately thrusted toward the old woman. The space energy in them was so terrifying.
The old woman's murky eyes radiated a dazzling starlight band. She sensed for a while and then hissed in surprise. "That's some really refined energy. Endless aura too. Kid, your realm is normal but your God power is really thick and condensed. It's not less than that of normal Immortal Realm experts. Yeah, I think you can try once."
