Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 51 Guiding Teacher

"Another Void Ring?"

"Combined into one?"

"You mean the ring I'm wearing now isn't even complete?"

Hearing the words of the old man in black, Zhou Xuan was somewhat confused.

In his opinion, the Void Ring before him was already quite bizarre.

To be able to casually bring people into such a different dimension and then not be able to find a way out!

He hadn't expected there to be a second such item, and that they could be combined!

If both rings were gathered, Zhou Xuan had no doubt that the old man could use these rings to challenge Ascended powerhouses!

"Of course, when I forged these rings, I forged two!"

"One controls the power of space, convenient for storage, and can also lure enemies in, to trap them!"

"One controls killing, drawing upon the power of spatial turbulence to attack enemies, killing people invisibly!"

"The one in your hand is the former!"

Seeing Zhou Xuan's shocked expression, the old man in black finally seemed to have found an outlet for his frustrations.

He looked at Zhou Xuan with a proud air, explaining the functions of the two space rings.

"Then where is this Dragon Ridge Ruins you mentioned?"

"Since I know this secret, as a descendant of the Zhou family, I have an obligation to reclaim the Zhou family's inherited treasures!"

"Hmph, stop trying to pull the wool over my eyes, Ancestor!"

"I can see right through your intentions."

"If you want to find treasures in the Dragon Ridge Ruins, wait until you break through to the late stage of the Creation Realm!"

"Otherwise, going there will only be sending yourself to your death!"

"Alright, I won't chat with you any longer!"

"Now that we've met, you are not allowed to mess with this Void Ring anymore!"

"Return to your original world. Someone is looking for you!"

Looking at Zhou Xuan, who stood there with righteous indignation, the old man in black scoffed, seeing through his hidden thoughts.

Then, with a wave of his arm, Zhou Xuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him again.

He then found himself back in his previous room!

"Zhou Xuan?"

"Why are you here?"

"Just now, I sensed a powerful aura surge from this room!"

"I suspect a thief has infiltrated the Lingyun Immortal Sect, intending to assassinate me!"

"Since you're here, help me look for any clues the thief might have left behind!"

As soon as he returned to his room, before Zhou Xuan could recover from the dizziness, he heard the room door suddenly open. Lin Qingxuan's familiar voice then came from the doorway!

"Thief?"

"Assassinate you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I've been in this room the whole time, how come I didn't see any thieves?"

"I say, girl, do you have paranoia?"

"Besides, at this late hour, why is a young girl like you coming into my room? What do you want?"

"Oh, I get it!"

"You must be lusting after my beauty, so you deliberately found a flimsy excuse!"

"You want to sneak into my room in the dead of night and do something improper to me!"

"Fine, I never expected the daughter of the sect leader of the Lingyun Immortal Sect to be this kind of person!"

"I'm going to expose you!"

As Zhou Xuan spoke, he slowly placed his right hand over the thumb of his left hand.

This was to conceal the residual glow emitted by the ring just now.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"With your ugly mug, do you think I'd lust after your beauty?"

"Ptooey!"

"Narcissist!"

"Who knows what my father was thinking to arrange you next to my room!"

"Get lost, I don't want to see you for another moment!"

After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Lin Qingxuan's face turned red with anger. She then kicked Zhou Xuan's door hard before turning and leaving.

She no longer remembered why she had come in the first place!

"Phew, that was close!"

"It's a good thing I was clever and struck first!"

"Otherwise, if this girl had realized and started asking too many questions, she might have exposed the matter of the Void Ring!"

"Although the people of the Lingyun Immortal Sect seem fine for now!"

"But when it comes to my Zhou family's heirloom, it's better to be cautious!"

Watching Lin Qingxuan walk away, Zhou Xuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then walked to the door, righted the door that Lin Qingxuan had kicked, and went to bed.

Since the old man had said that obtaining the other Void Ring required at least the late stage of the Creation Realm, otherwise it would be a death sentence.

Then now was not the time to think about it. After all, no matter how good a divine artifact was, one's life was always more important.

Having experienced "Heaven and Earth Great Shift" twice, he was now as weak as if his kidneys had been removed.

He desperately needed a deep sleep to recover his energy!

And so, the night passed in the blink of an eye.

By the time Zhou Xuan woke up the next day, it was already noon!

His listless spirit had been fully replenished during the night's rest.

Just as he was about to get up, wash himself, and then go to the front hall to find some breakfast, a knock sounded at the door.

"Narcissist, get up and eat!"

"If you don't get up soon, I'll feed it to the dogs!"

Hearing Lin Qingxuan's slightly resentful voice from outside the door, Zhou Xuan smiled wryly and slowly went to open the door.

There was nothing he could do. He had to bear the consequences of his own actions!

Just as he was about to say something nice to apologize to Lin Qingxuan, he didn't expect her to simply hand him a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, then turn and leave!

"Remember to go to the back mountain after you finish eating!"

"My father asked me to show you around the sect and also act as your instructor, to guide the disciples in their cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan was about to refuse when he found that the other party had already walked far away.

Helpless, he found a spring and washed his face casually.

Then, he quickly gobbled down the steamed buns and porridge. After asking a sect disciple for directions to the back mountain, he headed straight there.

"Senior Brother Mo Bai, you are truly amazing!"

"In just a few years, you've already broken through to the Body Shaping Realm!"

"Among the younger generation of our Lingyun Immortal Sect, you, Junior Sister, and Senior Brother Hei Hu are our role models!"

"The future position of Sect Leader will undoubtedly be contested among you three!"

"If Senior Brother Mo Bai becomes the Sect Leader in the future, please don't forget us!"

"Yes, yes, we'll have to ask Senior Brother Mo Bai to take care of us from now on!"

At this moment, within the back mountain of the Lingyun Immortal Sect, all the disciples of the Lingyun Immortal Sect had gathered.

Because the Sect Leader had said that they had assigned them a different master today to guide their cultivation, and they were all required to be present.

However, even by noon, they hadn't seen a single trace of the teacher.

So, the idle disciples began to gather in small groups, chatting and joking.

And among these gathered groups, the ones surrounding Li Mo Bai were undoubtedly the most numerous.

After all, the sect's representative, Hei Hu, was not in the mountain.

Lin Qingxuan was a woman, so these disciples naturally had to build relationships with Li Mo Bai.

Because, no matter what, he was now a powerhouse in the Body Shaping Realm.

People were willing to associate with those who were like them, or even stronger than them!

However, Li Mo Bai's expression did not change in the slightest upon hearing the disciples' flattery!

Because he had already learned the news that Hei Hu had broken through to the Body Shaping Realm ahead of him.

Coupled with the fact that he hadn't seen Lin Qingxuan for the past two days, his mood was naturally not very pleasant.

Just as he was about to interrupt the annoying voices in front of him, his gaze suddenly fell upon the steps leading up the mountain not far away, and then everyone saw the corner of his mouth slowly curve into an arc!
