Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 198 Space is a Mind Beast, and a Mind Beast is Space

"Don't add anything else. I haven't found a way to leave," Liu Qi said, giving the giant demon a wary look.

"Didn't find it." The giant demon nodded, but then realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Didn't find it?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I never said I found it," Liu Qi said. "Think back to whether it was your own belief or not, don't just make assumptions."

"That's true." The giant demon stroked his chin. It was indeed just his speculation. Liu Qi had never said anything or made any indication. It was all his own assumption.

He believed that Liu Qi had found a way out, but it was all based on his own speculation without any actual data, which was his sixth sense, relying solely on this one thing.

"Leaving won't be easy," Liu Qi said.

"Such an unusual method?" the giant demon asked, suddenly showing some interest.

It's impossible for him to exhaust himself searching for the exit. At most, he might look for it occasionally, and if he can't find it, he can just give up. Although the treasures inside are very tempting, it's too much trouble, so he can do without it.

But things are different now. There are other people around, so I don't need to show up myself. I just need to wait for Liu Qi to find the exit and then sneak out.

It's a different concept to exert effort yourself than to have others exert effort. It would be perfect if you could go out without having to exert any effort yourself.

"You captured me in a cave, right? You did leave then," Liu Qi asked.

"That's right, but that place is at most a projection. It's somewhat like a real body going in, but not quite. It feels a bit unreal, and I can't quite put my finger on it myself," the giant demon hesitated.

"Is there a problem with this?"

"Of course there is. You've managed to get out, and no matter how you got out, since you've already gone to the cave, you can go to other places as well," Liu Qi said.

The giant demon looked at Liu Qi, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let me remind you, I don't even know why I ended up in that place. But I finally got out and wanted to do something, and I just happened to run into you, so I brought you along."

"It's nothing." Liu Qi waved his hand. Just because he couldn't figure out the giant demon didn't mean he couldn't figure it out either.

He didn't have a spirit beast, while Liu Qi did, and it was still inside him. That was the difference. He was destined to solve this problem, while the giant demon, except for those who ascended to immortality, would never understand what was happening here.

"Very well then, let the mind beasts create the weak points in this boundless cage." Liu Qi smiled and released the power within his body.

That was an aura powerful enough to make even a high-level mage tremble with fear; Mr. Wu would definitely be terrified here.

This power made even the giant demons widen their eyes in disbelief.

Previously, Liu Qi said that the giant demon was more powerful than him, but he didn't believe it. Now it seems that he has to believe it. This power is indeed strong.

"A Nen Beast, how did you obtain this rare creature?" the giant demon asked curiously. A Nen Beast...

This was incredibly rare in his time, but no one in the world had ever heard of anyone controlling a Nen Beast or having a Nen Beast within their body.

This had never happened before, but he witnessed it today: humans possessing the power of spirit beasts.

That is the king of space, a divine beast born from space. Even those demon kings who claim to have ascended to the realm of space cannot possess the control over a mind beast.

Others use spatial power by force, which requires an adaptation period. How well they can use it depends on their own strength and how much they can control.

But the Mind Beast is different. Its relationship with space is like that of the same origin. Mastering a Mind Beast is like controlling space, allowing one to better utilize the power of space.

The Beast of Space—this kind of thing has been missing for who knows how long, and there has been no news of it. I never expected that there would be one inside a human body. It's truly eye-opening.

"Ming!!!!!!!!!"

The Nian Beasts have no physical form and cannot be seen by anyone; this is their means of self-protection. However, Liu Qiku could see them because he and the Nian Beasts were one.

The beast cried out twice, as if asking Liu Qi what he needed to do next.

Liu Qi considered the order for a moment, then said, "First, check everything here to find the weak points in the space. Then see if we can break through them. If we can't, it doesn't matter. You can go out and see for yourself what the outside space connects to."

Liu Qi could only leave after the space was broken, but it was different for the Mind Beasts. Even newly born Mind Beasts could roam freely in the world, and nothing could stop them.

Most barriers in the world are based on space, while thought beasts are space itself, so there is no possibility of blocking them. Even those emperors who ascended through space cannot stop thought beasts with their spatial power.

Having witnessed the terror of the mind-beasts whose concept is space...

Even if that Garuda created a barrier, it could still enter; that's what a Mind Beast is.

Liu Qi planned to send the Nian Beast out to check the situation first. Although it appeared to be a city below, who knew what the real situation was?

This place is really weird, with all sorts of restricted spaces. You can fall into another empty well just by taking a couple of steps.

"Waaaaah—.—"

The beast agreed and then disappeared.

For the next period of time, all that was needed was to wait. What went out was only the form of the Mind Beast, while the true body of the Mind Beast was still inside Liu Qi's body. Even he could not distinguish how the Mind Beast existed.

The giant demon deduced this from some of Liu Qi's actions.

He sent the Nian Beast out to find a solution.

This is a good method, after all, no one is more similar than the Mind Beast, but—

Mind Beasts don't like to hide themselves; they are space itself, and space is them, making them very easy for space-type experts to spot.

He didn't know how the Nian Beast died, but he knew that it wasn't a good thing for too many people to know.

"Is it really okay?" the giant demon asked.

"What is it?"

"The Nen Beast, that Nen Beast, is it really a good idea for you to let it out like this?"

"Why can't we put it out?"

Liu Qi's words startled the giant demon. Right, why did he ask that question?

That's a bit strange.

"Are you worried that your spirit beast might be killed or captured and tracked by others?" Liu Qi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. There's absolutely no problem with that. There aren't many space-type experts outside."

"Strictly speaking, there isn't a single spatial master, but loosely speaking, there is a Garuda, though I don't know if he's still active."

"What is Garuda?" the giant demon asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Hmm—it's hard to say. You just need to know that he's a master of spatial manipulation," Liu Qi said.

"As for Garuda, let's not even talk about whether he still has power or not. Even if he does, it doesn't matter. It would be good if we could use Garuda to destroy this place."

Liu Qi had a smile on his face.
