Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 164: Secret Realm Part 6

While Guo Yang held the tomb, others started destroying the remaining monsters. While killing them, Qin found few of his wolves also died. This made him sad but he quickly overcome this sadness. He knows he had to make some sacrifices to save himself.

Although Qin is extremely attached to his people, he isn't that much attached to the wolves. So, after killing those monsters, he sends the bodies of dead monsters and remaining wolves inside the mysterious space alongside the bones of that ape.

While fighting these monsters, Qin noticed something. These were normally Peak Rank Monsters. None of these were actually transcendence rank monsters but these monsters were shockingly big. Of course, of these were his concern.

He was simply thinking of these because of their weirdness. While they finished their job, Guo Yang also finished his. No sound came out of the tomb and his qi also dropped to zero. He immediately sat down and started recovering.

While he was recovering, Qin opened the tomb and saw dozens of monsters lying dead inside the tomb. It was quite surprising considering the fact that they all died from the poison in just matter of minutes. Since they died from the poison, Qin couldn't use their bodies, so he buried them using his earth element.

After that, he returned back to his team and waited for everyone to recover.

"I think we can split up now. After all, we have taken care of many monsters already." Lan Ming turned his head at Qin and spoke.

Qin nodded his head and turned at Tan Ge who was eating the meat. Because every time he uses the lightning, he consumes a lot of stamina. So, he constantly eats after using it.

"Can you run around and check the surroundings?"

Tan Ge nodded his head and said "I can but let me eat more. Since this place is totally huge, it will take a long time."

"Alright, you can take your time." Saying so, Qin's consciousness returned to mysterious space as he asked "How are they?"

"Well, they are healed but you hit them a little hard. They will take some time to wake up." Qiao Fu's voice rang on his head. Qin nods his head and takes out their bodies. Seeing their bodies healed but still not conscious, everyone stared at Qin.

"Well, they are fine but need a little more time to wake up. Until then, Guo Yang will recover and Tan Ge can scout the place."

Everyone was curious but they didn't ask. Guan Xing walked up to the surroundings and came back.

"This world doesn't have heaven either."

His words made everyone confused. They didn't understand why this is even related to them. Seeing their reaction, Guan Xing continued "If a world doesn't have heaven, there will be no restriction, no punishment, and no laws. Don't you think it is weird for those monsters to be this enormous?"

"And, what did senior Tan say? He said this place was created by his ancestors. That means it must be old, like truly old. Now, they are dead. If they are killed, it wouldn't be around a few thousand years ago. It must a lot older."

"Yes, that might not be related to the survival of these monsters but it is still related with something else. How does cultivation work? Heaven and Earth give birth to spiritual qi, we use spiritual qi and train our body, essence, and soul. This will slowly consume the spiritual qi until it ends."

"So, think about this! If these monster beasts were supposed to cultivate while being inside a limited space for so long, they should've consumed all of the spiritual qi. And, remember what I said. This place doesn't have Heaven."

"So, how did the spiritual qi remains so dense? This much density explains the size of those monsters but it doesn't explain why does it have so much spiritual qi even till now."

"Wait, wait a minute, you mean there is something else that is creating spiritual qi inside this place?" Qin stopped Guan Xing and asked with confusion on his face.

"I am not sure. But, there must be something. Remember, heaven exists to maintain the balance and give birth to spiritual qi. If this world doesn't have heaven, how can it create spiritual qi? And, I haven't heard about anything that can produce spiritual qi except for heaven?" Guan Xing shrugged his shoulders and asked.

"I think I know the answer to this." Lan Ming suddenly spoke while sitting on the ground. Everyone including Guan Xing turned his head at him and stared for an explanation.

"Have you ever heard of a Black Hole?" Lan Ming sucked his own saliva down and spoke while standing up.

"Isn't that a void?" Qin asked while tilting his head.

Lan Ming shook his head and answered "Black Hole is not a void. It is a word we use to describe an entity that exists in the space. Around it, there is nothing but void but it is not a void in itself. You won't find it unless you go out of the cosmic barriers and I don't want to talk about that now."

"But, I think Tan family ancestors are using Black Hole to maintain the spiritual qi in this space. I know why they could do it but I don't know how they did it. I mean I don't know how they actually created the black hole."

"So, you are telling me they are using this black hole to keep the balance of spiritual qi. But, how is this black hole even works to perform such a task?" Guan Xing asked while raising his hand.

Lan Ming nods his head and answers "Well, the black hole works very mysterious. We have a law of devouring to describe a black hole. This entity can suck the spiritual qi or anything from one point of space and release it on another point of space."

"The best part of this black hole is its core. We don't what it has. It can transform anything into qi and release it. In fact, I have been trying to figure how its core works since my cultivation technique is related to the black hole."

Hearing his words, Guan Xing lifts his finger and speaks "So, you are telling me that the ancestors of this world created a black hole and use it to suck the spiritual qi from somewhere else?"

"Yeah but I don't understand one thing. If I am not wrong, heaven won't allow this, right?" Although Lan Ming knows a lot about many things, heaven is still taboo. There is very little that he knows about heaven. So, he asked Guan Xing to confirm it.

"Yeah! That's what I don't understand. Heaven won't allow something like this to happen. This is breaking the law of the law. This could clearly affect the world. Unless.." Suddenly, Guan Xing's eyes widen.

"I think that makes sense. This world is devouring the spiritual qi from Saitou Region." Qin suddenly spoke which drew the attention of everyone.

"How are you so sure?" Lan Ming couldn't help but ask. Although he did guess something, he wasn't sure.

"Saitou Region is a place that exists in a higher domain. And, the heaven of that domain was killed by someone. During one of the war, the piece of land fell to the mortal world and that land was called Saitou Region."

"This is the reason why river can start from one place and end at the same place. Dao of Gravity, someone practiced this dao in Saitou Region. And, since Saitou Region is from higher domain, it's spiritual qi should be hundred times denser than it was before."

"But now, it isn't. Of course, this is my speculation which explains why this place has so much spiritual qi if the theory of black hole is correct." Qin answered.

"You are right. That must be the reason why this place has so much spiritual qi and why the spiritual qi of Saitou Region is less even though it is from the higher domain." Guan Xing nodded his head and spoke.

"Wait, you also knew this is from the higher world?" Lan Ming turned his head at Guan Xing and asked.

"Of course, I know. But, it is surprising that you know so much about this. Tell us, who are you exactly?" Guan Xing narrowed his eyes and asked.

Lan Ming froze for a moment and smiled "How about you tell us who are you?"

"So, are we going to introduce each other?" Qin asked as he stood up.

"That's not a bad idea." Zhao Tan stood forward and spoke.

"This poor monk doesn't mind introducing himself." Guo Yang also answered.

"Well, if everyone is going to introduce themselves, I don't mind as well." Guo Min also stood forward and spoke.

"Ahem! Do you want to include us as well or not?" Yue Bin coughed from behind and asked. Only then, they notice the gaze of other ladies. This time they spotted Liu Bing as well.

"Wait, are we seriously going to tell each other's our secrets? We barely know each other's intention.." Guan Xing suddenly spread his arms and asked with confusion.
