89: I can't get out, and neither can you.

The Ghost King bared its fangs and grinned, and after devouring those few Core Formation Late Stage Cultivators, it finally returned to the bottle contentedly.

Xu Qi'an put away the Ghost King, and along with the remaining few Jie Dan Cultivators controlled by the Bewitching Soul Great Art, headed towards the last floating island.

This floating island was slightly larger than the previous ones, but the surrounding Formation had also been destroyed.

However, when Xu Qi'an's Divine Sense scanned the area, he felt that something was strangely amiss.

Therefore, Xu Qi'an had Wenxiu Cliff and the other two walk ahead to scout the path.

As soon as they entered the cave dwelling on this floating island, Xu Qi'an saw walls covered in crystals.

These crystals were surprisingly similar to the ones Xu Qi'an had seen outside, completely transparent.

However, the only difference was that the crystals on the walls were larger and brighter.

Moreover, there were many flowing lights surging within them, making them look alive.

"These crystals are a bit strange."

Xu Qi'an furrowed his brow slightly.

The furnishings inside the cave dwelling were basically untouched, but there was also not a single valuable item.

What made him most curious was that the furnishings in the room seemed to be mundane objects, without a trace of spiritual light surging.

But why hadn't these mundane objects decayed, and why did they still look brand new?

Even objects with spiritual energy would eventually deplete if not replenished from external sources.

What's more, this relic had existed for at least several thousand, or even ten thousand years!

"Something's not right, really not right!!!"

The more Xu Qi'an thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

But for a moment, he couldn't think of an answer, as if his thoughts had slowed down.

"The pavilions or houses on the previous floating islands, the things inside were either taken or there were signs of fighting, extremely messy."

"But on this floating island, the outer Formation is broken, yet the things inside are still completely intact."

"This can only indicate one situation: either those Cultivators didn't care about the things inside and left directly, or they died inside."

Xu Qi'an obviously only believed the second possibility.

"Died inside??"

"But there's nothing here, only a pile of mundane objects and crystals."

"Crystals!"

"These crystals must be strange!"

"Should I not touch them?"

Xu Qi'an suddenly thought of a possibility, and then ordered Wenxiu Cliff to go and touch the crystals on the wall.

Wenxiu Cliff walked over expressionlessly, then brought his palm into close contact with the crystal.

One breath.

Two breaths.

...

Up until ten breaths, there was no reaction.

"It's not touch?"

"Could it be spiritual power?"

Wenxiu Cliff then used his spiritual power.

No result.

"Why is this? It can't be Divine Sense, can it?"

Immediately, Xu Qi'an had Wenxiu Cliff use his Divine Sense.

As soon as the Divine Sense touched a white crystal.

Instantly, white light burst forth.

Illuminating the entire space.

Xu Qi'an had no time to react and was illuminated by the white light.

Then he blinked his eyes and found himself in a White Space.

It was pure white here, so white that not a single other color could be seen.

It was as if it were the appearance of the world at the beginning of creation.

"This is the space of the white crystal???"

Xu Qi'an was slightly stunned.

Then, Xu Qi'an saw several corpses in the distance.

Only bones remained of those corpses, their flesh and skin long gone.

They seemed to be Cultivators who had also been absorbed into this place, perhaps they had been here for an unknown amount of time to end up like this.

"Is this place a dead end? Can't get out at all?"

Xu Qi'an rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

But then, he walked over to the side of those few Cultivators and casually picked up a few storage bags.

However, the corpses of those few Cultivators made Xu Qi'an slightly curious.

Because one of the corpses had lost all its limbs, and the clearly fleshless skull still wore a hint of a strange smile on its mouth.

Xu Qi'an raised an eyebrow slightly and paid it no mind.

Then he swept with his Divine Sense.

And discovered the things inside.

There were no ling stones at all, as if they had been used up long ago.

These Cultivators seemed to be at the Dan Formation level, and only had some tier three items.

Anything that could increase cultivation or contained spiritual power was gone.

Only some Talismans, Cultivation Techniques, and miscellaneous items remained.

What Xu Qi'an was most concerned about were the things these few people took in this Mystic Realm.

Soon, in the Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, Xu Qi'an found two books that seemed to be related to this Mystic Realm.

"'Time Domain Summary'?"

"'Space Intent Overview'?"

"Time Domain and Space Intent???"

"What is Domain anyway?"

Xu Qi'an was completely confused by what he was reading, but only these two things were most different from what those Cultivators themselves carried.

"Time and space??"

Xu Qi'an followed these two words and gradually began to understand.

"The furnishings in the cave dwelling, which were previously filled with the light of the white crystals, hardly changed."

"Didn't change? Time didn't change!!"

"And this White Space, does it refer to space!"

"And the Master of this Mystic Realm wrote books on time and space, pouring his life's work into these white crystals."

"Could it be that he wanted to create some kind of spacetime Domain??"

"Or perhaps combine the two??"

Xu Qi'an suddenly understood a little. He then continued to search through the storage bags of those few Cultivators for records of their time in this White Space.

Hard work pays off!

He actually found a record.

Then he read it carefully.

"Hello, fated one, my name is Deng Le. By the time you see this record, I will already be dead."

"We were originally Elders of the Fire Element Country, a third-grade Cultivation Country under the Five Elements Sect, a Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country. During a trip to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, we stumbled into this place."

"The previous floating islands gave us a lot of gains, and finally, we arrived at the last floating island."

"But we never expected that what awaited us was the end!"

"We used our Divine Sense to explore those strange white crystals, and then we were swept into them."

"And then there was no 'then'."

"We can't get out, we absolutely cannot get out!"

"At first, we had hope, but soon we despaired!"

"We thought that if we couldn't get out at Dan Formation, we could get out when we reached Nascent Soul!"

"But there's no spiritual power in this space, only a white wasteland!"

......

"I'm going crazy, I'm insane, I've become irritable, I've become short-tempered, I can't get out!!"

"What kind of damned place is this?!"

"I have a Dao Companion outside, I haven't been out for so long, she wouldn't have run off with someone, would she!!"

......

"Mad, all mad, the ling stones are used up, the spiritual items, Spirit Medicine, spiritual pills are also used up!"

"Not a single one of us three has managed to break through to Nascent Soul, not even reaching the Peak of Dan Formation!"

......

"One of my companions wants to kill me, to use my Golden Core to achieve his immortal path, hehe, actually I knew he wanted to kill me all along, so I struck first and killed him!"

......

"Oh, forget it, there's no hope anyway, we've tried everything, if we can't get out, then we can't get out."

"Hmm, my companion said he wanted me to kill him, he said he didn't want to live anymore."

"I readily agreed to his request, directly gave him a fatal blow from behind, and grabbed his Golden Core."

"Then I swallowed it."

"This is the first time I've eaten a Golden Core, it's really delicious!"

"So this is how it feels to be a demon Cultivator, why didn't I know before?"

......

"I think I'm going to die, it's so boring being alone, I really want someone to talk to!"

"Hehe, I suddenly had a bold idea, cut off my own limbs, and refined my companion's corpse into a Puppet, wouldn't I have a few friends then?"

......

"Sorry, I'm dead."

"If you see this record, please remember, I am a madman, a madman driven mad by this white wasteland."

"I am telling you with my remaining sanity."

"You can't get out, hehe!"
