Chapter 7: No Way OutThe Lingyuan Secret Realm was created by the ancient Space Cultivator Leng Lingyuan before his Ascension. The most valuable things inside were some cultivation techniques and weapons. The Secret Realm spanned approximately eighty thousand li from east to west and fifty thousand li from north to south.The spiritual herb fields on the outermost perimeter had already been completely stripped bare by those who had entered the Secret Realm for training in the first thirty days. In the towering ancient forest at the center stood a palace, likely built by Leng Lingyuan before his Ascension. The palace was protected by restrictions that could only be opened by those who had obtained his legacy.In the novel, even the female lead had only managed to pick up a treasure and had not obtained the legacy.Yan Yuheng had not found a way out. Neither had Xiao Jinqi.If only he knew how to create a Space Teleportation Array or also possessed a Spatial Spirit Root. But that was just wishful thinking.Calculating the time, the female lead should have already left by now. He wondered how his cheap father would react upon discovering he hadn’t come out. Would he think he had already met with misfortune?But thinking that his senior martial brother was also trapped here made him feel slightly better."System, tell me, does this count as failing before even starting?""Host, don’t worry. These tasks have no time limit, as long as the final objective remains the same. By the way, during this time, I’ll return to the main system to see if there’s any method to help you get out. You must protect yourself." After saying this, the system went offline."Junior Brother, don’t worry. Martial Uncle will definitely find a way to rescue us once he realizes we haven’t come out.""Hmph, easier said than done. This continent hasn’t produced a single Space Cultivator in a long time, has it? How is he supposed to save us?""Then let’s search again to see if Senior Leng left any other methods to get out.""Such a vast territory—how long will it take to search through all of it?" Xiao Jinqi was now thoroughly annoyed with him, and he retorted at every word Yan Yuheng said.An awkward atmosphere hung between the two. Neither wanted to speak anymore."Then let’s first find a place to carve out a cultivation cave. There are quite a few demonic beasts here, and it’s not very safe at night."Reason returned, and this time Xiao Jinqi did not argue with him.Having a powerful person by his side was indeed beneficial. For instance, now, without needing to lift a finger, Yan Yuheng quickly carved out a cultivation cave and set up a barrier outside."Junior Brother, I’m afraid you’ll have to make do sharing this cave with me. If you stay outside, I’m worried you might encounter danger, and I won’t be able to protect you in time. Also, you should rest for a while. I’ll go out and see if there are any resources we can use."After Yan Yuheng left, Xiao Jinqi didn’t idle around either. He dug out a luminous pearl from a corner of his storage pouch and placed it in the cave, instantly illuminating it as brightly as daylight.After a while, Yan Yuheng returned. He had discovered a large piece of Frost Ice Stone on the opposite mountainside. After smoothing the surface of the stone, he split it into two pieces and placed them on the left and right sides of the cave to serve as stone beds.Xiao Jinqi was not accustomed to this cultivation world, nor was he used to having another person beside him, even though the two beds were separated by some distance.That night, both tacitly chose to sleep instead of cultivating. However, neither slept well. A sense of fear and unease about the unknown future lingered in their hearts.Were they going to be stuck in this place for the rest of their lives?Yan Yuheng refused to give up. He planned to go out and search again at dawn. Unable to resist, he opened his eyes to see if the other person was asleep.Gazing at the fair complexion of the person before him, he couldn't help but recall the past.In truth, he was well aware of all the petty schemes Xiao Jinqi had been plotting behind his back. Yet, in his eyes, they were insignificant, akin to mere itches. He couldn't bring himself to reprimand him, for everyone in the Azure Sky Sect—whether the sect leader, his martial uncles, or others—had shown him kindness. He couldn't repay their benevolence with betrayal. However, this time, upon hearing the youth say he intended to go to the Hehuan Sect, he couldn't restrain himself from stepping in to stop him.He had never been to the Hehuan Sect, only possessing a superficial understanding of their cultivation methods. In his view, cultivation gained through unorthodox means was ultimately not the right path. He had wanted to persuade him, but never imagined that his own mistake would cause the other so much trouble.A lingering sense of guilt weighed on his heart, compelling him to make amends.Whether out of gratitude or remorse, he had to take good care of his junior brother before leaving the Secret Realm.
