Chapter 1676: True Power of the Time and Space Secret Guide

“Amazing! Amazing!” the Amazing Little Taoist said a bit proudly. “Did you forget that I’m a Psychic Sage?”

“‘Psychic’ means that I can see through someone’s body to their soul. I can track your soul. No matter what you turn into, I can still find you.

“As for the formation runes here, they’re even less advanced.

“I can even go in and out of the so-called forbidden zone that you talk about, let alone this place.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Amazing Little Taoist had an advanced cultivation and studied some special ancient spells. In the past, he and Xiang Chunan wouldn’t have been able to capture him without using the Absolute Saint weapon.

He had new knowledge of this Psychic Sage’s abilities now.

“You can pick the remaining Amazing Saint Fruit, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Of course.”

The Amazing Little Taoist stuck his chin up. After a pause, he said, “But I’ll only give it to you after you leave the God-Naming Platform with me.”

The Amazing Saint Fruit was ineffective to Zhang Ruochen now, so he wasn’t in a hurry to get it. “You grew up in the God-Naming Platform, so you must’ve gone to the Inner South Yard before, right? How familiar are you with the Wind Atrium?”

“Wind Atrium!”

The Amazing Little Taoist’s expression changed. “Why are you asking? Could it be...you want to break into that temple and steal the treasure inside?”

Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. “Does that mean you’ve really been there before?”

“I truly advise against you going,” the Amazing Little Taoist said fearfully. “That temple is very strange and it’s at least as dangerous as the palace cluster in the center of the forbidden zone.”

“There’s a reason why I must go,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Thus, you should tell me everything that you know. That way, there’s a bigger chance for me to survive. I can only bring you away from the God-Naming Platform if I’m alive.”

The Amazing Little Taoist knitted his brows. Then he said, “Actually, I don’t know much about it either. I just snuck in once.

“There are also ancient monsters there. In fact, they would attack anything with a spirit or mind. I almost died there that time and never stepped a foot in again.”

“That’s it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Amazing Little Taoist thought a bit more. “Oh, the Wind Atrium looks like an ancient pavilion from the surface, but it actually has a universe inside. If you stand at the top and look into the distance, you can see the shadows of many pavilions. The space there seems to have been folded.”

“Folded Space?”

Zhang Ruochen put a finger under his chin and murmured to himself, “This makes sense! No wonder the sects keep trying to invite spatial cultivators. It must be related to the Folded Space.”

Folded Space was a very advanced spatial technique that Zhang Ruochen still couldn’t do.

If you cultivated Spatial Twist to the highest level, then you could fold space and even fold it multiple times.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Time and Space Secret Guide, ready to study Folded Space.

Even if he couldn’t perform it fully, knowing more about it was also a good thing. He might be able to save his life at a critical moment.

“Oh?”

Zhang Ruochen had shock in his eyes.

The Time and Space Secret Guide had become unfamiliar.

Every silver page had strange patterns. Like ripples of water, they moved out if he touched them.

“When did this happen?”

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and thought carefully about what had happened since the last time he read the Time and Space Secret Guide.

Suddenly, something flashed in his mind. “Saint Monk Xumi’s whisker... Could it be related?”

He opened his Divine Eyes and studied one strange pattern on the silver page. He felt that his spirit and mind were being sucked in. It was like a boundless world that was filled with spatial runes.

The supply of information was great. Just a mere glance made Zhang Ruochen feel dizzy, like his head was about to explode.

He quickly turned off his Divine Eyes and pulled back his Spiritual Power. He was covered in sweat. “Could the Time and Space Secret Guide be a spatial treasure?” he murmured to himself.

He cautiously activated his Holy Qi and sent them into the book. The silver pages actually started absorbing Holy Qi and shone with brighter and brighter silver light.

This had never happened before.

Whoosh!

A huge apparition of a silver book appeared in the cultivation room. It opened with Zhang Ruochen as the center. Each page transformed into a silver screen standing on the ground. They cut the space into a dozen spaces.

Zhang Ruochen was extremely shocked. He slowly walked under one light screen page.

Many time and space prints flowed on the screen. They were as small as specks of light.

“Amazing, amazing. Zhang Ruochen, what happened?”

The Amazing Little Taoist rushed toward Zhang Ruochen, but he crashed into one silver screen. He let out an “ah” and fell to the ground.

“A mere light screen wants to stop me?”

A bit annoyed, he put his hands together and formed a print technique to attack the silver screen.

Boom!

The silver screen shattered into multiple specks of light.

After the Amazing Little Taoist broke through, the light specks flew back and reformed the light screen.

He looked back with shock. Then he looked forward again. There were still seven light screens between him and Zhang Ruochen.

“Amazing. Break!”

He formed another print technique and attacked the second light screen.

Right then, Zhang Ruochen seemed to understand something. With a joyful expression, he extended a finger and pointed at one silver light screen. A large amount of Holy Qi rushed out of his fingertip.

Instantly, all the silver screens in the room grew even brighter.

Boom!

The Amazing Little Taoist’s print hit the light screen. Not only did it not shatter the screen, it also forced him back with strong spatial reverberations.

“What is this? It actually grew stronger and can burst forth with strong spatial attacks.”

The Amazing Little Taoist thought that these sudden light screens were too strange. He didn’t dare attack again.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen’s laugh rang out in his ears.

The laughter was wispy as if coming from another world. “Once the Time and Space Secret Guide is opened, a multidimensional world appears. It can evolve into countless worlds.”

Zhang Ruochen passed through the various screens as easily as if they were sheets of water. Then, he smiled and said, “Every silver page has transformed into a spatial wall. The more Holy Qi I add in, the stronger the walls. Plus, in this multidimensional space, I can cast spatial spells more easily.”

“An absolute treasure! So the Time and Space Secret Guide is a true treasure!”

Zhang Ruochen closed the Time and Space Secret Guide. The silver light curtains all disappeared from the cultivation room.

The Amazing Little Taoist’s voice rang out from the book. “Zhang Ruochen, what are you doing? Where did you lock me into?”

Was the Amazing Little Taoist really inside the Time and Space Secret Guide?

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly opened it. He discovered an “image” of the tiny Taoist on one of the silver pages. It seemed to have been drawn on.

However, that picture was talking and seemed scared. “Zhang Ruochen, let me out! I didn’t offend you. Do you want me to give you all the Amazing Saint Fruit now?”

Zhang Ruochen was stunned. He found it incredible.

After all, the Amazing Little Taoist’s cultivation was higher than Xiang Chunan and far higher than Zhang Ruochen now. However, he was turned straight into a picture in the Time and Space Secret Guide and couldn’t break free.

Its restrictive powers were too terrifying.

“We have nothing against each other,” the Taoist image said. “Why do you have to do this to me? As long as you don’t turn me into a divine pill, I can go to the Wind Atrium with you. With my abilities and experience, I can definitely raise your chances of surviving.”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned a bit strange. “You said it. I didn’t force you to.”

“Of course,” the Taoist image said. “A cultivator keeps his words. Why would I lie to you?”

Zhang Ruochen added Holy Qi into the Time and Space Secret Guide and freed the Amazing Little Taoist.

‘Amazing, amazing. Zhang Ruochen, you lowly person who goes back on his word. You actually captured me and wanted to eat me. I won’t go on a suicide mission to the Wind Atrium! Let’s end here. As for the Amazing Saint Fruit, don’t even think about it anymore!”

The Amazing Little Taoist was furious. He shone with purple light and flashed toward the exit of the cultivation room.

Whoosh!

Blinding silver light shone in the cultivation room.

The Time and Space Secret Guide was opened again. It turned into a multidimensional space that shrouded the Amazing Little Taoist.

“Sea-Suppression Print.”

The Amazing Little Taoist used more than 10,000 Rules of Palm Way, gathering them at his arms and attacking with full force. He wanted to break through the silver light before him.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to explain, but he had to stop him.

“Spatial Condensation.”

Zhang Ruochen hit the silver curtain with his palm. The space where the Amazing Little Taoist was instantly froze. Even his palm print froze and couldn’t hit the silver curtain.

It was like time was at a standstill.

The Spatial Condensation cast with the Time and Space Secret Guide seemed to be even more powerful. Even a strong figure like the Amazing Little Taoist couldn’t break the frozen space.

“Collect.”

Zhang Ruochen closed the Time and Space Secret Guide. The Amazing Little Taoist was turned into an image on the silver page again.

This time, he wasn’t quiet. He kept attacking and trying to break free from the Time and Space Secret Guide.

“Zhang Ruochen, I treated you genuinely. Why are you such a two-faced person?

“How about I cut off a leg for you to eat?”

...

Boom!

As the Amazing Little Taoist kept attacking, the Time and Space Secret Guide was actually trembling.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Can’t you settle down? When did I say I’d eat you?”

“If you don’t want to eat me, then why did you capture me?” the Amazing Little Taoist asked.

Zhang Ruochen cleared his throat. “That was an accident.”

“This time isn’t an accident, right?”

“This time, I’m not capturing you,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I just wanted to make you stay so I can explain. If I let you run off, I would really be someone who doesn’t keep his word, right?”

Then Zhang Ruochen released the Amazing Little Taoist again.

With a whoosh, the Amazing Little Taoist transformed into purple light and shot out of the cultivation room.

The entire time, none of the formations on the wall were activated. Zhang Ruochen was amazed.

This Psychic Sage could actually slip through the formation.

A moment later, a small head popped out from behind the cultivation room’s wall. It was the Amazing Little Taoist who’d come back. He looked suspiciously at Zhang Ruochen. “You’re really letting me leave?”

“Since I’ve explained clearly, whether you stay or leave is up to you,” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.

The Amazing Little Taoist thought for a moment and returned to the room. “You do have some nice attributes. I’ve decided to go to the Wind Atrium with you. Heh, your book seems powerful. Can you lend it to me to read for a few days?”
