Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1435: Secret Realm

"Wow, you are a bad person. They told me so. Anyone who wants me to recognize them as my master must be a bad person."

Qi Wen sighed, "Fine, fine, I’m a bad person, a bad person. So when will you let me out? I need to go find my mom."

"You have a mom?"

"Isn’t that obvious? Who doesn’t have a mom?"

The sound of magical crying began again.

Qi Wen sat down in frustration. Communicating with the Little Demon was just impossible.

After crying for a while, it asked between sobs, "Why won’t you comfort me?"

"I’m still a baby; I need someone to comfort me too."

The hall fell into silence, and Qi Wen decided to start cultivating.

"Say something."

Qi Wen ignored it.

After a while: "Why won’t you talk?"

Qi Wen continued to ignore it.

"Do you miss your mom?"

Silence continued.

"Why won’t you pay attention to me! I’m still a baby."

Silence persisted.

"Okay, okay, if you play with me, I’ll let you out to find your mom."

Qi Wen continued in her state of cultivation, thinking to herself that she just wouldn’t give in.

After about an hour, Qi Wen was still cultivating. She had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but the Water Spirit Power here was abundant, and the Water Spirit Pearl was spinning rapidly. She might even advance a bit more.

Qi Wen wasn’t sure how long it had been, but her body felt much lighter. She was now a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Second Level.

After stabilizing her cultivation, Qi Wen got up to continue practicing her swordplay, but this time not against a pillar.

After a long time, she finally managed to harness the Spiritual Power of the Foundation Establishment Second Level, and then she stopped.

The space was unusable, but she had a primitive Storage Bag that contained food. Her mom had said it wouldn’t be affected by the space’s limitations.

She took out a Spirit Fruit and sat down to chew on it.

She seemed to hear the sound of someone gulping.

Inside, she laughed silently, but her face showed no expression.

After finishing the Spirit Fruit, she spread a blanket on the floor and lay down to rest.

And so, Qi Wen decided to outlast it. She had no way of knowing the time outside, but it felt as though several days had passed.

After finishing her sword practice today, she sat down to study the array formations.

Actually, she was very talented with arrays, but she hadn’t taken it seriously before. Of course, no one could compare to her mom’s talent.

Qi Wen started to worry. Her mom must be very anxious on the outside. But there was no way to contact her.

Since she was here, she decided to make the best of it and took out the materials to start engraving a Third-tier Trapping Array.

Her technique was a direct transmission from Su Yuanyuan. No fancy moves at all.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, her Divine Sense and Spiritual Power had improved significantly, and she successfully completed the Third-tier Trapping Array in one go.

Happy with her progress, she wanted to master the engraving of all Third-tier Array Plates before anything else.

Training here had its benefits; at least she wouldn’t always be thinking about playing around.

When Qi Wen was on her tenth array plate, the baby voice finally spoke.

"Are you really not going to talk to me?"

"When will you let me leave? You promised you would let me leave eventually. I’ve been accompanying you here for a month, right? Although you’re a baby, you should also keep your promises."

"But I’m so lonely here by myself."

"Well, there’s nothing I can do either. I wanted you to recognize me as your master so I could take you out, but you said I was a bad person. So, you have to stay here on your own.

I’m going to leave now. Please keep your promise."

After a while, it said, "I will recognize you as my master. Will you really take me away from here?

I don’t remember how I ended up here. But I know I’ve been waiting for someone the entire time.

You must be the person I’ve been waiting for."

"Wait, you’ve been waiting for someone?" Qi Wen suddenly didn’t want the responsibility, thinking this sounded like a heavy burden. "No, that can’t be right."

"Yes, I’m sure of it. Will you treat the baby well in the future?"

"I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to be your master."

"How can that be?" The baby voice protested.

"You just said you’d keep your promise."

"But I thought you were a baby, right? What’s this place called again?"

"Water King Hall."

Qi Wen shivered slightly, "Baby, you’re way too high-level for me. I’m way too insignificant; I surely can’t be the person you’re waiting for. How about you continue to wait?"

"No, I’ve decided on you."

"I don’t have any great ambitions."

"What are ambitions?"

Qi Wen was at a loss for words. What’s the point of talking about such things with a child?

"You said it. If I recognize you as my master, you can take me out."

"Forget it."

"I remember. Let me tell you, if you don’t become my master, I won’t let you out."

"Once my cultivation level is higher, I will certainly leave."

"Then you won’t be able to find your mom."

Qi Wen was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this: I’ll leave and find someone more suitable for you first?"

"No, I just want you. Now you have two options. Either I recognize you as my master, or I force you to become my master."

Qi Wen felt incredibly unlucky, "Fine, fine, but you must promise to be a good baby in the future."

"They all say I’m a good baby."

"Alright, how do I become your master?"

Listening, Qi Wen’s hands started moving quickly.

At the moment of recognition, a ripple pattern appeared on her forehead.

She stood there, processing the information, and after about a quarter of an hour, she performed intricate hand gestures. A soft blue light enveloped her, looking truly beautiful.

The grand hall transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Qi Wen’s space.

After it was over, the space closed again. Fortunately, she had a sword in hand, food in her Storage Bag, and there was absolutely no way she wanted to eat a Fasting Pill.

After obtaining the Water King Hall, Qi Wen also knew how to get out. She quickly left the lake.

Finding a relatively safe place, she tried to send a message to her mom, but no matter what she did, it wouldn’t go through. All she could do was continue her own training.

After stabilizing her emotions, Su Yuanyuan once again inspected the enclosed space. Her Divine Sense extended downward, realizing that underground was just like above, a circular space half on the surface and half underneath.

Xiao Shui couldn’t be summoned now; she’d just let it stay in her Dantian for the time being.

She understood the principle of breaking through a surface by concentrating on a point. Determined on one spot, she repeatedly and forcefully attacked it.

After several hours of effort, the area finally began to change. She was excited and pressed on.

Eventually, after an unknown amount of time, she broke through.

Su Yuanyuan quickly floated out. She saw that everything here was trying to hide quickly, but she wouldn’t allow it.

She used her Object Control Technique. Although it escaped, the part she broke off remained.

Su Yuanyuan collected it and then observed the surroundings.

The first thing she did after coming out was to contact her young woman. She didn’t expect the Sound Transmission Talisman to actually fly out.
