Liu Nanfeng drove, heading out of the city.
Su Huamei said in surprise, "Still outside the city?"
"Yes, but not far. We'll be there soon," Liu Nanfeng replied.
"Why don't we just not drive?" Su Huamei suggested after thinking for a moment.
Liu Nanfeng immediately stopped the car upon hearing this. He had always operated with a commoner's mindset; in reality, their speed without the car was many times faster than with it.
"Pfft." Seeing Liu Nanfeng's foolish expression, Su Huamei couldn't help but laugh, her slightly depressed mood lifting considerably.
They found a spot by the roadside to park the car.
"Do you know teleportation? Shall I teach you? Or, I can carry you?" Su Huamei teased with a smile after they got out.
"No need, just hold my hand tightly," Liu Nanfeng said, extending his hand.
Su Huamei looked at him with a bit of curiosity, then obediently took his hand, their fingers interlacing.
A light flickered in Liu Nanfeng's eyes, and through them, the entire world held no secrets beneath his gaze.
Although he didn't understand many things and would need to study them later, he had glimpsed the essence of the world.
Then, he extended a finger and drew a circle in the air. A glowing circular door appeared in the void.
Through this circular door, one could see the dark peach wood forest on the other side.
"Anywhere Door?" Su Huamei exclaimed in surprise.
She had seen movies like "The Avengers" and knew this was one of the signature skills of Kamar-Taj, with almost every sorcerer possessing the Anywhere Door.
In fact, the world of cultivators also had similar abilities, such as various遁法 (dùn fǎ, escape techniques), but none were as flashy as those in the movies.
Because 遁法 was initially created for escaping and concealing one's tracks, it was naturally better to be low-key and hidden.
For example, the two farmers who had ambushed them earlier could escape through darkness, becoming invisible and undetectable, thus increasing their chances of survival.
In a real combat situation, one would likely be interrupted and killed before they could even open an "Anywhere Door."
However, the Anywhere Door wasn't without its advantages: it was visually impressive and incredibly fast over long distances.
In reality, achieving an Anywhere Door was almost impossible, as it required not only immense magical power but also a deep understanding and familiarity with spatial rules.
Such individuals were extremely rare in cultivation; even if they existed, they wouldn't make their techniques so ostentatious.
This was why Liu Nanfeng's use of the Anywhere Door left Su Huamei so astonished.
As far as she knew, although Liu Nanfeng had a cheat that allowed his cultivation to advance at an astonishing rate, he hadn't reached the level of opening an Anywhere Door, let alone mastering it so skillfully.
"The movies gave me the inspiration, but it's not as complicated as you might think. Let's go through,"
Liu Nanfeng pulled Su Huamei and they stepped through.
As soon as they crossed, Su Huamei quickly looked back, seeing the Anywhere Door behind them vanish instantly as the magical support disappeared.
"I didn't expect you to have this skill," Su Huamei said with a hint of amazement.
"Didn't I tell you before? I can analyze the essence of all things in the world. Everything is composed of spiritual energy, just in different forms. This is information, and as long as I use a little magic to push aside all the information blocking my way..."
Liu Nanfeng didn't need to finish. Su Huamei already understood his method.
They were like fish in the sea, with the ubiquitous seawater being the "information" Liu Nanfeng spoke of.
Liu Nanfeng's method was to use magical power to create a hole in the seawater, leading directly to the seabed.
The principle was simple, but for ordinary people, it was virtually impossible.
"Then where are they now?"
Su Huamei didn't press further. What she needed now was someone to vent her frustrations on.
Liu Nanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked in a direction outside the peach garden. Then, with a light tap of his foot, he leaped into the air. Su Huamei quickly and gracefully followed.
Two long silken sashes, like celestial maidens descending from the heavens.
They arrived at the road outside the peach garden. Although it was only a little past eleven, the distant village was already shrouded in darkness, with hardly any lights on.
However, tonight, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and a gentle breeze blew. The sounds of insects and frogs from the fields filled the air, creating a unique atmosphere.
Su Huamei looked up at the sky and said with a sigh, "Such a beautiful night, and yet there's fighting and killing."
Liu Nanfeng looked at her speechlessly.
He wondered who it was that had been determined to hunt down and eliminate the other party just moments ago, to prevent any future trouble.
"Haven't they arrived yet?" Su Huamei asked.
Since Liu Nanfeng was standing in the middle of the road, it was clear he was waiting for them.
Liu Nanfeng nodded. The speed of his Anywhere Door was incredibly fast; even if the other party used escape techniques, they still couldn't match its speed.
Upon hearing this, Su Huamei threw out the silken sash in her hand.
The long sash, like a celestial dragon in the air, followed the wide road, forming a massive circle, then faded and eventually disappeared.
Su Huamei grasped Liu Nanfeng's hand, and their bodies faded, finally vanishing by the roadside, leaving only the clear moonlight and wind.
Liu Nanfeng looked at this scene with surprise, reaching out to gently grasp, but felt nothing unusual.
He turned to look at Su Huamei, only to find that she had completely disappeared from his sight. He couldn't sense her presence at all – her heartbeat, her breathing, her scent, everything had vanished without a trace.
"Is this an invisibility technique?" Liu Nanfeng asked, somewhat amazed.
In truth, he wasn't very interested in many powerful abilities; instead, he was full of curiosity for these subtle and ingenious applications of magical power.
He felt that these methods of application were what truly showcased human wisdom.
"Don't talk," Su Huamei said.
It was clear she was worried that Liu Nanfeng's chatter might expose their whereabouts.
As for why they were hiding to ambush, it could only be said that if a goal could be achieved simply, one shouldn't complicate it. Rushing in headfirst when a sneak attack was possible could only be attributed to poor judgment.
Moreover, who knew what accidents might occur if they charged forward? Everything should be approached with caution and stability.
Liu Nanfeng complied and remained silent, but his eyes flickered. He could see all the information around Su Huamei's body.
Soon, he understood the principle of this so-called invisibility. It wasn't complex and didn't require immense power. It involved using magical power to block one's aura and light reflection.
"So, magic also follows scientific principles," Liu Nanfeng thought, feeling a touch of embarrassment.
However, this gave him some new ideas.
He reached out and gently tapped the void. Countless crystalline structures spread out like mirrors, and Su Huamei's form appeared within the mirrored space, her invisibility instantly vanishing.
"Mirror Space?"
This time, Su Huamei exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Nanfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know what the simplest incremental method in computers is?"
Su Huamei shook her head without hesitation.
At this point, she was too stunned to speak. Movies were one thing, but in reality, creating an independent space was the prerogative of a deity.
"It's copy and paste!" Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
Since this world and all its elements were born from spiritual energy, and different things were merely different compositions of information,
Then, as long as Liu Nanfeng provided a suitable medium, he could replicate this information to create an identical world.
This medium was magical power, which was essentially purified spiritual energy, making it the ideal carrier.
Therefore, theoretically, with enough magical power, one could "create" an exact replica of a world.
Of course, Liu Nanfeng certainly didn't have that much magical power at the moment, and it would continuously dissipate. Thus, achieving a level of "creation" was entirely impossible.
However, taking a small section of information from the surroundings and overlaying it onto the real world was perfectly feasible.
And this, he explained, was the principle behind his Mirror Space.
"Isn't it simple?" Liu Nanfeng asked with a smile.
Su Huamei responded with a dog-face emoji.
