Chapter 30: Receiving the Spatial Ring, Sealed Box, and Sect’s Plea for Help

Time passed quickly.

Five days later.

Outside Cloudwater City.

Gu Hongyu escorted Meng Changqing alone to a grassy slope.

In fact, others from the Meng family also wanted to come along.

But Gu Hongyu stopped them.

“Aunt, it’s fine to leave me here,” Meng Changqing said with a smile, holding the reins.

“Okay,” Gu Hongyu nodded.

The grassy slope beneath their feet was quite high, offering a good view.

In the distance, one could see continuous mountains and a rushing river.

“This is a Spatial Ring, and everything is prepared for you and placed inside,” Gu Hongyu said as she took off a ring from her hand.

“A Spatial Ring,” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered.

This thing was quite rare.

It was extremely expensive.

It contained a small space where items could be stored.

Generally, a Spatial Ring required true qi to use, which meant it was for cultivators at the Sea Cleaving Realm.

But since he had seen it on the Outer Sect Elder Sun Haishan, he changed his view.

After all, Sun Haishan was only at the Aperture Connecting Realm but could still use it.

“This Spatial Ring is quite special. It contains the true qi of its previous owner, so even if you haven’t reached the Sea Cleaving Realm, you can still use it,” Gu Hongyu seemed to see Meng Changqing’s surprise and explained.

“I see,” Meng Changqing suddenly understood.

No wonder Sun Haishan could use it.

With this Spatial Ring, traveling in the future would be much more convenient. Whether it was valuable items or miscellaneous items, they could all be stored inside and accessed anytime, anywhere.

But as far as he knew, there didn’t seem to be such a thing in the family.

It was probably Aunt’s.

She directly gave hers to him.

Feeling touched, Meng Changqing realized that the cultivation world was actually full of deceit. Genuine sincerity like this was rare.

“Additionally, I’ll give you another good thing,” Gu Hongyu took out a box from behind her. The box had a sealed label on it, looking quite precious.

“What is this?” Meng Changqing was curious.

“A treasure, but don’t open it for now. Open it when you reach the Sea Cleaving Realm,” Gu Hongyu said. “And don’t share what’s inside with others.”

Her tone was serious.

“So cautious, understood,” Meng Changqing didn’t think much.

Although Aunt sometimes spoke incoherently, if she became serious, then it was real.

He pricked his finger, dripped blood into the Spatial Ring, and felt a mysterious connection immediately.

It was as if his consciousness was linked to the Spatial Ring.

With just a thought, he could see the contents of the Spatial Ring and easily retrieve them.

“I’ll leave now, Aunt,” Meng Changqing said, putting the sealed box into the Spatial Ring and looking at Gu Hongyu.

“Hurry up and go. If you come back, I’ll make sure you pay for my funeral,” Gu Hongyu crossed her arms, sounding somewhat disdainful.

Hearing this, Meng Changqing chuckled.

He knew Aunt was being sarcastic.

Once he left, who knew when he would be able to return.

After all, cultivation knows no time.

Thinking so, he took a step forward and gently hugged Gu Hongyu.

It was evident that Gu Hongyu’s body stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

She also hugged Meng Changqing back.

The gentle breeze blew, and grass leaves fluttered.

The warm sunlight descended.

The scene of the two embracing each other was unexpectedly beautiful.

“Although I don’t know what your past is, Aunt, I’ll grow up until the day you voluntarily tell me,” Meng Changqing said softly.

“The world is vast, let’s listen to the dragon’s roar together,” Meng Changqing whispered in Gu Hongyu’s ear.

Then he released his hand, mounted the spirit horse, and galloped off into the distance.

Only Gu Hongyu remained standing in place.

After a while, she snapped back to reality.

A helpless yet content smile appeared on her breathtaking face.

“This kid.

“He’s getting bolder and bolder.”

Gu Hongyu shook her head slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on Meng Changqing’s retreating figure. “Sister, do you think we can hear the roar of the dragon?”

The wind on the plain picked up again.

It blew through her hair, much like her heart, which was no longer calm.

—

Several days passed.

Juefeng Ridge, located on Meng Changqing’s way back to the sect.

In fact, Meng Changqing could have stayed in the family for another ten days.

But he didn’t want to be too strict with time.

If something unexpected happened and delayed him, it would be a loss.

Night fell.

Meng Changqing sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, flames burning in front of him, casting various shadows on his face.

His spirit horse, two and a half years old, stood not far away, entering the realm of dreams.

The next moment, Meng Changqing abruptly opened his eyes.

A powerful aura surged within him.

He had unexpectedly reached the fifth level of the Aperture Connecting Realm!

“I broke through,” Meng Changqing exhaled.

The effect of the Spirit Fusion Pills was indeed remarkable.

Just two pills had helped him break through a small realm.

However, according to his estimation, ten Spirit Fusion Pills might not get him to the eighth level.

Because the higher the realm, the more resources were needed.

But it didn’t matter. There were still pills in the Spatial Ring, and Aunt had prepared quite a few.

In Meng Changqing’s view, Aunt had probably given him half of the family’s wealth.

In any case, reaching the Aperture Connecting Realm was more than enough.

Boom!

Just as Meng Changqing was about to continue cultivating, a firework lit up the distant night sky.

It formed the characters “Tai Xuan.”

“What’s this?” Meng Changqing stood up suddenly.

A distress signal!

This was a distress signal specially made by the sect. Once ignited, it could last a long time in the air, attracting attention.

“Is a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect in danger?” Meng Changqing furrowed his brow.

If it were somewhere else, he could understand.

But Juefeng Ridge, where he stood, was already quite close to the sect’s territory.

Who would dare to attack disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect in such a place?

Are they seeking death?

Shaking his head slightly, Meng Changqing didn’t think much and woke up the sleeping spirit horse, rushing towards the location where the firework had bloomed.

In any case, he had to go and see first. Within his ability, he would definitely lend a hand in rescue.

After all, they belonged to the same faction.

But if it went beyond his capabilities, then he would have to choose to retreat.
