Ling Tian, by a stroke of fate, activated the Spirit Realm Key and entered the Sumeru Mustard Seed Space left by his Ling family ancestors, which was the Spirit Realm.
A flood of information surged into his mind, making him understand what was happening.
He also learned why he had been blocked by this dense spiritual energy.
Within this space, many things were hidden: powerful cultivation techniques, heavenly treasures, and divine weapons.
Furthermore, this space contained numerous structures, some of which possessed special functions.
For instance, there was the Spirit Spring that could transform one after drinking from it, the Spirit Herb Garden that could nurture rare flowers and exotic plants, and the Beast Taming Garden that could raise spirit beasts.
However, none of these were useful to Ling Tian at the moment.
The Ling family ancestors knew that bestowing such treasures upon those who had not reached a certain level of strength would not be a blessing but a disaster.
As the saying goes, "An innocent man is guilty when he possesses wealth." Covetous eyes would surely fall upon him, bringing about a deadly calamity.
Therefore, the Ling family ancestors had established numerous restrictions within the Spirit Realm.
Even if one possessed the Spirit Realm Key and opened the Spirit Realm in advance, related spaces and functions within it would remain locked if their strength did not reach a certain threshold.
To unlock more within the Spirit Realm, one had to continuously improve their strength. As their power grew, more would naturally be unlocked.
Additionally, the Spirit Realm itself required a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to maintain its operation.
Thus, allowing the Spirit Realm to absorb more spiritual energy from the outside world was also a way to unlock more functions sooner.
Ling Tian understood all of this and re-entered the Spirit Realm.
Amidst the dense fog, Ling Tian saw a house that seemed within reach.
He walked into the house and found a plaque above the door inscribed with ancient seal script that read "Storeroom."
Ling Tian stepped forward and pushed the door open. As the door swung open, a space measuring two zhang in length, width, and height appeared before him.
Beyond this space was chaos.
Through the knowledge in his mind, Ling Tian understood that this space was the so-called Sumeru Mustard Seed Space, in other words, a storage space.
If Ling Tian wished to store anything, as long as the object was within two zhang of him, he could use his will, consuming mental energy, to store it in this space or retrieve it.
This discovery delighted Ling Tian, as with this, he no longer needed to carry a bag, and the valuable items his masters had given him were safe from covetous eyes and theft.
By placing those items in this space, only he could access them, making it the most secure place imaginable.
Furthermore, keeping some of his life-saving means here would allow him to surprise enemies in battle!
At this moment, Ling Tian's thoughts flickered, and his consciousness returned to reality.
He then began to sort through his belongings, placing the items his teachers had given him one by one before him.
The Demon Subduing Pestle, the Money Sword, the Seven-Star Sword, various gourds, many jade pendants, several special cards, and many bottles of various pills...
With a flicker of Ling Tian's divine sense, these items vanished one by one.
It was worth noting that along with these items, the jade pendant, the Spirit Realm Key, also disappeared. In its place, a tattoo resembling an ancient key appeared on his chest.
This tattoo was only visible to Ling Tian; outsiders could not see it at all!
Ling Tian was overjoyed. This way, he would not have to worry about losing the key or having it coveted by others.
Ling Tian flashed his thoughts again, entering the Spirit Realm. At this moment, the items that had disappeared earlier all appeared in the two-zhang cubic space of the storeroom.
These items floated in mid-air, categorized, and none touched each other.
Ling Tian felt this was incredibly advanced, so he conducted many more experiments.
Firstly, living things could not be stored in this space; only inanimate objects could.
He could not store animals and plants yet; that would only be possible after his strength increased and he unlocked the Spirit Herb Garden and the Beast Taming Garden.
Secondly, time was stagnant within this space.
Food and water placed in this space would never spoil or decay.
Even a bowl of steaming noodles, if placed in this space, would retain its original temperature no matter how long it remained there.
Ling Tian experimented for a long time until he felt dizzy and his eyelids could barely stay open, at which point he stopped.
He immediately understood that this was a symptom of excessive mental energy consumption.
Storing items in this space was not without limitations; it required significant mental energy for repeated storage.
Ling Tian slept for an entire day to replenish his depleted mental energy.
The next morning, Ling Tian woke up early and tidied up the house meticulously once more.
Around 9 AM, he heard vehicles outside, and upon looking from the window, he was overjoyed.
Two cars drove in, one of which was Wang Bingxia's car.
Ling Tian quickly went out to help unload items from the cars.
Most of them were Wang Bingxia's clothing and some daily necessities. Ling Tian helped carry these items to another master bedroom on the second floor.
Wang Bingxia was accompanied by Wang Qing Tian and Gao Yalian. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they felt that this place was somehow different.
Upon entering, they experienced a comfortable and refreshing sensation, making them want to stay in this courtyard permanently.
Watching the busy young couple, the elderly couple was overjoyed.
After everything was done, Gao Yalian called her daughter aside. The mother and daughter had a long private conversation, after which Gao Yalian handed her daughter a small square box.
Wang Bingxia, blushing, ran back to her room and closed the door.
Ling Tian was very happy about his fiancée's arrival. After dinner, Ling Tian performed acupuncture treatment for Wang Bingxia.
After Wang Bingxia fell asleep, Ling Tian went to the pavilion on the top floor again, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing and circulate his energy.
Although he had defeated Luo Nan in their battle the night before, the explosion of the seven explosive spirit pearls had caused him some internal injuries, leading to him spitting blood.
He secretly used the Chaos Devouring Heaven Art to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, converting it into true essence to continuously repair the internal injuries.
By the time dawn broke the next day, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his internal injuries were finally completely healed.
...
The Jiangshan Grand Hotel was a five-star hotel in Jiangshan City. In a presidential suite of this hotel, a woman looked in the mirror, her face filled with anxiety.
In the mirror was an incredibly pure and breathtakingly beautiful face.
However, at this moment, several small red bumps had appeared on this beautiful face.
These small bumps were driving the woman to the brink of despair.
