1058 Paramita Lotus (1/2)
Once he got his hands on the blueprint to build the dimension, Chen Xiaobei did not care for anything else. He sped quickly into the deepest part of the cave. When he and Qie Loulan finally arrived, they had the shock of their lives.
There was a gargantuan hole as big as two football fields combined.
The ground was covered in large potholes and the walls were sanded smooth by friction.
Under normal circumstances, the Xiuhcoatl King would entrench a hole here. The thing that shocked Chen Xiaobei and Qie Loulan the most was the center of that hole, there was a charcoal gray chaotic matter like the blackhole in science books!
That dark chaotic matter was turning slowly like a bottomless ocean. It looked like a portal into another dimension.
”What is that?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
He had never seen or heard of anything like this.
”If I'm not mistaken, this is a tear in spacetime!” Qie Loulan explained. ”Back then, in order to build an independent dimension, I did a lot of research into space and secret ancient recordings and came across some articles about it! When a star undergoes supernova explosion or when there's a nuclear explosion, it could tear a hole in space. Most of them were able to close up on its own, and are not a threat to the balance of dimensions. But there are a small number of them that could not close up on its own and will turn into a special passage between two spaces that were not interconnected! And this one, probably already existed when I built this dimension. I think the Xiuhcoatl King used it to get through and attack me!”
Qie Loulan connected what he had just witnessed, with the knowledge he had acquired to come up with a logical conjecture.
”But something doesn't add up!” Chen Xiaobei looked doubtful. ”When you built this dimension, was there a supernova or a nuclear explosion?”
”There was!” Qie Loulan said. ”That year, my cultivation had already reached Sky Ninja. That was as powerful as a demigod! I fought with my enemy at the entrance of this space. The final attack produced a force a big as a nuclear explosion! The entire moat turned into ruins, and the entire island sank into the ocean.”
This cleared everything up.
”But, why would the Xiuhcoatl King keep guard here? It attacked you and robbed your treasury! Why doesn't it just return to where it came from?”
Chen Xiaobei thought about it, there was still something amiss.
”That… I'm not sure…” Qie Loulan shook its head and said, ”Since I'm just basing my deduction on whatever information I've gathered so far. I'm afraid only Xiuhcoatl King knows the exact details!”
”No! There are answers in there! We can also find out the details!”
Chen Xiaobei said as he walked towards the dark hole.
”Bro Bei! Don't go there! Be careful! You might be sucked into the hole!”
Qie Loulan ran toward Chen Xiaobei.
”Look!”
Chen Xiaobei pointed at the area all around the hole.
The ground was strewn with semi-transparent granules that looked like glass.
”These… These are the shells of the Spiritual Stones after the Spiritual Qi has been sucked out!” Qie Loulan looked around and said, ”This was about the same amount as the Spiritual Stones I kept in the treasury!”
”There are your Spiritual Stones! The Xiuhcoatl King must have moved them here!” Chen Xiaobei said with certainty.
As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei took out the Green Jade Gourd.
”Bro Bei, what are you doing?” Qie Loulan asked.
”There must a reason it moved the stones here!”
Qie Loulan uncorked the gourd.
Fwaaa…
