Zhao Li inquired about the location of the Spatial Wormhole and headed straight into the city.
Before he even reached the true center of Sky's Edge City, Zhao Li sensed an extremely rich Spatial Energy there. Following his senses, a large, black platform came into view.
The platform was constructed entirely of a special black stone, giving off a sense of sternness at first glance.
About ten feet above the platform, a dark channel, roughly thirty feet wide, slowly rotated, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.
Zhao Li stared intently at the dark channel, feeling as though his very mind was being drawn into it. His Soul Power extended outwards, probing into the channel, but upon entering, it vanished silently, like a stone sinking into the sea, with no echo.
Is this the Spatial Wormhole? It truly is extraordinary.
He was astonished that with his current Soul Power and control over it, he couldn't detect anything.
Zhao Li didn't continue probing but simply followed the long line, slowly inching forward.
Soon, Zhao Li was on the platform. People from the Luo family were collecting Gold Coins for passage through the wormhole and also selling Spatial Boats.
"The Spatial Wormhole is 100,000 Gold Coins per person. Spatial Boats are 1,000,000 Gold Coins each. With one, you'll travel faster and more steadily, with guaranteed safety. It's worth having. Would you like to buy one, esteemed guest?"
Zhao Li thought for a moment and bought one.
He wanted to use this opportunity to travel through the Spatial Wormhole to comprehend Space. A Spatial Boat might make things easier.
The moment he stepped into the channel, Zhao Li felt a dizzying sensation, a feeling of Space-Time Disorientation, but it came and went quickly.
In just an instant, Zhao Li saw a dark channel, extending towards an unknown direction.
Around the channel, silver light occasionally flickered. These were cracks formed by the interaction of Spatial Energy. The scenes visible through the cracks were from unknown locations. Although seemingly right there, their true location might be tens of thousands of miles away from Sky's Edge City.
This channel isn't as completely dark inside as it appeared from the outside.
The flickering silver light brought a bit of brightness to the dark channel.
Zhao Li sensed the extremely active and rich Spatial Energy around him, and his Soul Power was released again. Although interfered with by the chaotic Spatial Energy, Zhao Li could barely maintain control.
He took a few steps. There was clearly nothing beneath his feet, yet walking felt like he was on solid ground. This kind of technique made Zhao Li's eyes light up.
This level of control over Spatial Energy is truly outstanding.
Zhao Li walked a few more steps and took out the Spatial Boat. As he infused it with Dou Qi, the boat, originally palm-sized, rapidly grew large enough to carry several people.
This was the first time Zhao Li had seen such a technique, and he was amazed.
This transformation sparked Zhao Li's thoughts. He mused that perhaps when the application of Space was taken to the extreme, one could create great divine abilities like Universe in the Sleeve. His brow grew hot with excitement.
Zhao Li stepped onto the Spatial Boat and experimented with it for a bit, quickly mastering its use.
As Zhao Li injected Dou Qi, the Spatial Boat shot out, transforming into a streak of light, traversing the dark channel.
Although its speed was very fast, Zhao Li felt very stable on the boat. He then sat down cross-legged, leaving just a fraction of his mind to control the Spatial Boat, while the rest of his mind explored the Spatial Wormhole, sensing the extremely rich Soul Power within the channel.
Cultivation was timeless. As time passed, Zhao Li finished his cultivation, having gained a great deal from this session.
Finishing his cultivation, Zhao Li opened his eyes. He was still sitting cross-legged on the Spatial Boat. With a thought, he used the power of Rules, lightly tracing with his fingertip. A small opening was cut into the dark channel, which gradually expanded under Zhao Li's control. By the time it was large enough for one person to pass through, Zhao Li already felt strained.
Through the opened gap, Zhao Li looked at the endless mountain ranges outside, then withdrew his Spatial Energy, and the channel slowly closed.
Without coordinates, I don't know where outside is. To be safe, it's better to wait until the end to go out.
Zhao Li's experiment had shown him his progress. However, he didn't notice that during the opening and closing of the channel just now, the rich Spatial Energy within the Spatial Wormhole had become slightly more chaotic.
In just over ten days of cultivation, Zhao Li's control over Space was vastly different from before.
This cultivation not only brought great progress but also verified my previous ideas. The Way Follows Nature. Having a reference allows one to comprehend Rules. Although this trip has only been a little over ten days, the improvement has been immense. It won't be so easy from here on out.
Zhao Li summarized his cultivation results, feeling determined, though also a bit regretful.
He had comprehended almost all the Space Rules displayed within the Spatial Wormhole. Deeper levels of Rules would likely not yield results in a short time.
Zhao Li quickly composed himself, withdrew his thoughts, and began to fully control the Spatial Boat.
As Zhao Li increased the input of Dou Qi, the Spatial Boat's speed increased slightly.
About three days later, Zhao Li suddenly felt the Spatial Boat jolt.
Zhao Li's Soul Power extended out, and he 'saw' clusters of invisible whirlwinds. There was indeed one such cluster where the Spatial Boat had just passed.
Seeing these small whirlwinds, Zhao Li frowned, not knowing what they were. But as he 'saw' more and more of them, Zhao Li instinctively felt something was wrong.
Then, he seemed to remember something.
Could these be Spatial Storms forming?
As if to confirm his thought, the Spatial Storms gradually took shape, becoming more and more violent.
This sight also made Zhao Li realize that he had indeed encountered the so-called Spatial Storms. However, they were only in their initial stages of formation, posing no threat yet. He could still control the small boat to continue forward.
Am I cursed with bad luck? Or is this Spatial Wormhole in Sky's Edge City really this dangerous?
Zhao Li was speechless. He remembered reading in a novel that when Xiao Yan and others used a Spatial Channel, they also encountered a Spatial Storm and were scattered. And the path they took was also this one from Sky's Edge City!
Despite his complaints, Zhao Li didn't dare to be careless. He concentrated on controlling the Spatial Boat, maneuvering it like a flexible fish through the gradually growing small whirlwinds.
Seeing that they were about to leave the storm's range, Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The Spatial Storms were growing larger, already taking shape. Even he could sense a hint of danger from them.
Zhao Li even thought that if they couldn't get out soon, he might have to cut open a channel himself to escape.
"Whew~ Good thing my skills are superior. A little storm like this can't catch me at all. I need to go even faster now. Staying in the Spatial Wormhole is ultimately unsafe."
Zhao Li felt like he was about to leave this dangerous stretch of the journey and breathed a sigh of relief. His small body couldn't withstand the violent cutting of Spatial Energy from the Spatial Storm.
Suddenly, an extremely strong suction force came, even causing the Spatial Boat to stop in place.
As soon as Zhao Li sensed the suction, he had already turned his head to look.
It turned out that the already chaotic dark channel had been torn open by the storm at some point. Just this small opening, like a catalyst, caused the nascent storm to suddenly grow stronger. The Spatial Storm instantly formed, becoming even more violent, sweeping towards everything within the channel.
"Holy crap, I really shouldn't have celebrated too early."
Zhao Li felt his scalp tingle. In an instant, Zhao Li injected his Dou Qi into the Spatial Boat without reservation, pushing it to its limit. But the Spatial Energy within the channel was being sucked away by the storm. The Spatial Boat was like a small boat run aground, being pulled back instead of moving forward under the Spatial Storm's tearing.
His heart seemed to skip a beat. Zhao Li didn't dare to delay, instantly tearing open a small exit. He didn't care where it led outside and leaped out.
Just then, the storm swept over, and the Spatial Boat was sucked into it, instantly turning into dust.
