"Dumpling, what's going on?"
"How could the spaceship experience such a violent tremor?"
Luo Fan asked in surprise.
It should be noted that this was an F9-level spaceship, capable of easily withstanding attacks from immortals!
"Master, we encountered a spatial storm while accelerating."
"The spaceship has now been caught in the spatial storm."
"However, since our ship's defenses are extremely strong, we only need to wait for the storm to settle."
Hearing this, Luo Fan let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had obtained an F9-level spaceship this time.
Otherwise, those previous ships would have been shattered to pieces under a spatial storm.
At this moment, Luo Fan couldn't help feeling a little fearful in hindsight.
The universe was truly too dangerous.
At any moment, total annihilation was possible.
However, he didn't yet know if this was luck or misfortune.
He had encountered a spatial storm, an extremely rare cosmic disaster.
According to the official records of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire,
in nearly a million years, spatial storms had appeared in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region no more than ten thousand times.
On average, it could only be seen once every hundred years.
And that was within the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.
Yet here he was, and on his first outing, he had encountered a spatial storm.
Luo Fan looked at the over 100,000 fortune points on the system template, feeling a bit stunned.
This fortune value must be fake, right?
However, there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Even immortals could die inside a spatial storm.
Luo Fan would be lucky just to survive.
As he was about to continue entering the Virtual Universe, he suddenly thought, could he better perceive the Principle of Space while inside the spatial storm?
With this in mind, he prepared to create a task.
But the task couldn't be established.
He tried to create tasks for comprehending the Principle of Space for one hour, ten hours, a day, ten days inside the spatial storm, but none succeeded.
Then he thought for a moment and established a different task.
[Task: Escape the Spatial Storm, Reward: Luck +100,000, Beginner Space Talent +666]
Holy crap!
Space Talent!
One hundred thousand Luck points!
Luo Fan's eyes almost turned red at the sight of this reward.
It should be noted that even though he had cultivated the Water Domain to the fifth layer, he still hadn't obtained the Water Principle Talent.
But now there was a task that rewarded Space Talent.
He became instantly excited.
With Space Talent, he could better comprehend the Principle of Space!
Thinking this, Luo Fan immediately felt that this spatial storm was an opportunity for him.
Although he couldn't establish the task, he still closed his eyes and prepared to attempt to perceive the Principle of Space.
However, after a full day of cultivation and reviewing the Detailed Explanation of Space in his mind, he gained absolutely nothing.
So he had no choice but to continue entering the Virtual Universe.
He looked up information on spatial storms through the Galactic Bank.
Spatial storms generally had unpredictable durations, it could last from a single day to ten thousand years.
Their movement speed was extremely fast.
This was because spatial storms could teleport instantaneously.
If one were caught inside, even if they miraculously survived, they would be carried along with the teleportation.
Spatial storms could also be collected using special methods.
The prices were not low.
They could be used to refine weapons.
Unfortunately, Luo Fan's strength was far from enough.
Only those recognized by the Origin Principles of Time or Space could collect a spatial storm.
Inside a spatial storm, the Principle of Space was extremely chaotic, and so were the other principles, making it very difficult to comprehend.
At this moment, Luo Fan also understood why he couldn't establish the task.
This task was simply impossible for him to complete.
After reading the information on spatial storms, Luo Fan's expression darkened.
He certainly didn't want to stay in the spatial storm indefinitely.
However, leaving it would require at least a Marquis-Level Immortal to rescue him.
Otherwise, he would need someone recognized by the Origin Principle of Space to save him.
With his current funds, paying the Galactic Bank for a Marquis-Level Immortal rescue would practically drain all his money.
Luo Fan would not do that unless absolutely necessary.
Sighing, he had no choice but to first cultivate his secret manuals in the Virtual Universe.
Although perceiving principles in the Virtual Universe couldn't compare to doing so in reality,
it was still better than trying to comprehend them inside a spatial storm, right?
At this moment, Luo Fan was eager to create a clone.
Because if he had a clone, he could completely discard this body.
The spaceship could then be stored directly in system space.
Unfortunately, he hadn't created a clone yet.
With no other option, Luo Fan informed Fang Xueyi and Luo Feng of the situation and then began cultivating in the Virtual Universe.
…
Soon, a month passed.
Luo Fan was still trapped inside the spatial storm.
He realized that he had already been carried into the adjacent Ji Yang Star Region, next to the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.
He was now over seven million light-years away from Earth.
This was the result of the spatial storm's multiple instant teleports.
Occasionally, he noticed some unlucky souls caught up in the storm.
However, those people were immediately torn apart by the spatial storm.
Looking outside, the storm showed no signs of stopping.
At that moment, the scenery beyond the spatial storm shifted again.
The next moment, he appeared in an unfamiliar location.
He was certain this was not the starry sky.
Soon, the spaceship detected something passing by the edge of the spatial storm.
Or rather, the spatial storm was passing by that object.
Luo Fan stared at the object displayed on the detector, his expression instantly changing.
Trouble!
This time, it was really trouble!
The object had a diameter of several hundred thousand kilometers.
It was a fragment of space!
The spatial storm had brought him into the space interlayer!
The space interlayer was where the Immortal Divine Kingdom was located.
Here, if he continued deeper, even a King-Level expert could easily be crushed by a space fragment hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter.
At this moment, a trace of despair appeared on Luo Fan's face.
"Good heavens! What the hell is this for?"
He knew that the chance of a spatial storm carrying someone into the space interlayer was less than one in a hundred million!
Now Luo Fan finally understood why the reward for escaping the spatial storm was so high.
The reward was directly tied to the task's difficulty!
Thinking of this, Luo Fan irritably ran his fingers through his hair.
"Dumpling, if I die, transfer all the money in my account to Luo Feng."
A hint of despair flashed in his eyes.
"Master…"
Dumpling also understood the gravity of the situation.
It calculated that Luo Fan's chances of survival were basically zero.
Just as Luo Fan was sinking into despair, he suddenly remembered something.
The system could not establish tasks that he couldn't complete in a short period of time!
Just like before, when he had first obtained the system, he had tried to create a task to become a Primordial Lord.
It couldn't be established at all.
Likewise, his earlier attempts to create a task for comprehending the Principle of Space inside the spatial storm had failed.
But!
Now he could establish the task to escape the spatial storm!
This meant the system believed that he had a chance of completing it!
