CHAPTER 1052: CHAPTER 1049: SPACE VORTEX!

The Azure Dragon Tribe rose powerfully, entering the ranks of the super tribes of the Barbarians.

However, their rapid rise led to unstable foundations and internal conflicts.

Li Chen still had important matters to attend to on Earth, making it impossible to stay here long to help stabilize the situation.

But if he just left like that, relying solely on Klu, it would be impossible to stabilize the situation here.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Chen decided to leave Lian Hongshang and the Jiao Long to guard here.

For safety, he even specially allocated three thousand cavalry and five thousand elite soldiers from Emperor Qin’s Heavenly Army for Lian Hongshang to command and mobilize.

He and Ximen Qingxue would return to Earth together to handle the Dragon Spiritual Vein matter.

September, the summer heat has not yet faded!

Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue set off, crossing the Dragon River through the original path, arriving at the shores of Crescent Lake.

This was where Li Chen first arrived in the Cultivation Realm, and he had left a space locator symbol here.

The other end connected directly above the villa on Donghua Mist Mountain.

"Brother Li Chen, what is Earth like? Is it really as glamorous and lively as Sister Hongshang says?"

At this moment, Ximen Qingxue, like a curious baby, was following Li Chen, asking questions nonstop.

Li Chen looked at the curious Ximen Qingxue, full of helplessness.

"Qingxue, you’ve asked me this question eight hundred times already, aren’t you tired of it?"

Ximen Qingxue giggled foolishly and puffed her cheeks cutely.

"I’m just curious!"

Seeing Ximen Qingxue’s cute puffed up cheeks, Li Chen really wanted to say: Being cute is disgraceful!

Li Chen’s cunning eyes rolled around, pointing at a crooked old locust tree in the distance, he said to Ximen Qingxue: "Qingxue, do you see that old locust tree?"

Ximen Qingxue followed the direction of Li Chen’s finger, nodded solemnly.

"I see it, but apart from being a little crooked, there’s nothing special about this old locust tree?"

Li Chen said seriously: "Under the old locust tree, there is an ant nest. Go count how many ants are inside?"

Ximen Qingxue was filled with confusion, staring with big, bright eyes, she asked: "Why count ants?"

Li Chen said earnestly: "Don’t you want to go to Earth quickly? Then do as I say!"

Ximen Qingxue was still in a daze, completely unable to understand how going to Earth had anything to do with counting ants, which seemed entirely unrelated.

Li Chen seemed to see the confusion in Ximen Qingxue’s heart, and said mysteriously: "A thousand mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole!"

Repeating this sentence several times in her mouth, Ximen Qingxue suddenly brightened up and excitedly said: "Are you saying these ants bit through the space barrier between Earth and Jiuzhou? They are not really from Jiuzhou, but from Earth!"

"Uh?"

Li Chen hadn’t expected Ximen Qingxue’s imagination to be so wild, but he nodded in default agreement, rather than correcting her.

Only by sending Ximen Qingxue away to do something would he be able to peacefully search for the spatial fissures between different dimensions. Utilizing these fissures as an opportunity, he’d construct a Space Transmission Formation.

Li Chen released his Divine Sense to start searching for spatial fissures.

These fissures, located between two different planes. Since they are not on the same plane, the difficulty of searching is extremely high, certainly no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

After an unsuccessful search, seeing Ximen Qingxue concentrating on counting ants, inspiration struck him.

Ants are two-dimensional creatures with only a plane concept. If using them to pathfind, wouldn’t it double the efficiency?

Thinking of this, Li Chen quickly called Ximen Qingxue over.

Ximen Qingxue turned her head, flashing her big, bright eyes at Li Chen, pouting slightly, and said somewhat aggrievedly: "These ants run around, I can’t count them!"

"No need to count anymore!"

As Li Chen finished speaking, a vortex spun in his palm, pulling all the ants into it.

Ximen Qingxue was full of bewilderment, asking: "What are you doing with the ants?"

"Pathfinding!"

After saying this, Li Chen placed these ants in different plane spaces, letting them crawl freely.

Ximen Qingxue, although mystified, still watched intently as the swarm of ants moved.

She believed in Li Chen!

Without any reason, she believed!

As Ximen Qingxue’s eyes started to strain from staring, Li Chen suddenly showed an expression of delight.

"Found it, found it!"

Ximen Qingxue rubbed her slightly sore eyes and looked to the sky again.

"Where? I didn’t see anything?"

Li Chen took out a flawless jade disc, which reflected a green light, penetrating layers of void.

In the depths of the void, a tiny black ant was wiggling its antennae, climbing upwards with all its might.

Ximen Qingxue reached out her fair hand, puzzled, she asked: "Is it this little ant? I also didn’t find anything special?"

Li Chen smiled and explained: "Ants are two-dimensional creatures. In their cognition, there’s only a plane formed by length and width, and their movement trajectory is just an extension along that plane. Without external forces, they would never leave this extended plane... But look at this ant, it is climbing upwards!"

Ximen Qingxue was still completely mystified, not understanding at all.

Li Chen, seeing that he wouldn’t be able to explain it to her properly just yet, didn’t explain further.

"In the future, when you grasp the concepts of ’Universe’ and ’Time’, and understand the laws of space-time operation, you’ll naturally understand these things."

Ximen Qingxue looked at Li Chen with some admiration: "You’re amazing!"

Then she laughed lightly, and gave Li Chen a big kiss on the face.

Li Chen didn’t mind Ximen Qingxue’s forceful kiss, but instead, smiled at her, reminding: "In a moment, we will pass from the ’Universe’ of Jiuzhou to the ’Universe’ of Earth. During this time, we might encounter the repulsion of natural laws. If you feel scared, close your eyes and hold me tight, understand?"

Ximen Qingxue nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Alright!"

Li Chen embraced Ximen Qingxue, his body transforming into a streak of light, diving into the void fissure.

Ximen Qingxue, a curious baby, wouldn’t miss such novel and exciting events, even if she was scared.

Suddenly!

A swirl of Gang wind emerged, changing the wind and clouds, revealing a large hole.

Ximen Qingxue was startled, brimming with curiosity, she exclaimed: "Chen, what is that?"

Li Chen answered: "It’s a space vortex!"

Ximen Qingxue, blinking her big eyes, curiously asked: "What if someone accidentally falls in there? Would they die inside?"

Li Chen shook his head and replied: "No, they wouldn’t, but if someone did fall into it, they would likely end up in a completely unfamiliar world and never be able to return..."
