#640 - Four-dimensional space?

Inside the mountain cave.

At this moment, all the guards had left, leaving only Wei Changtian and the other four standing with serious expressions before the mysterious cave entrance.

Beside them were several large wooden barrels filled with fresh beast blood.

By drenching themselves in blood, the items and clothes they carried would not be rejected.

This was a small trick "included as a bonus" in Xu Sui Sui's reply.

The reason for this might be that after being doused in blood, the teleportation array would "mistakenly believe" that these items were also living things, thus avoiding the embarrassment of Wei Changtian and the others arriving on the other side in a state of 'nakedness'.

...

They exchanged glances, but none of them spoke. Instead, they each used their inner strength to gather balls of beast blood and carefully smeared it on their clothes and weapons.

A thick, bloody stench filled the air, and everyone became soaked as if they had just taken a bath in beast blood.

This feeling was undoubtedly awkward, but all five of them were individuals who had risen to their current positions step by step from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so they naturally wouldn't complain.

For them, as long as the goal could be achieved, let alone drenching themselves in beast blood, even eating raw beast meat would be nothing.

"Grandfather, senior masters, do you have any life-saving treasures on you?"

Wei Changtian glanced at the four of them and said softly, "Although there's only a one in a hundred chance of an accident, it's still not foolproof."

"Moreover, the other party may have already set up an ambush. We might be plunged into a fierce battle immediately after teleporting to the Seventh Demon Territory."

"It's always better to be careful in everything."

...

Hearing Wei Changtian's words, Wei Zhaohai, Yu Qi, and Zuo Huiyu all nodded, indicating that they had life-saving treasures on them.

Only Li Huaizhong was stunned, his expression somewhat awkward.

Hmm?

This old eunuch doesn't even have a life-saving item?

Is he really that down on his luck?

Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then took out a small piece of iron from his sleeve and handed it to Li Huaizhong.

After killing Wu Ding and Ning Yongnian in Huailing, he had "seized" a total of four life-saving items.

Among them were two arrowheads, a piece of iron, and a Clear Jade Pendant.

The two arrowheads had already been given to Zhang San and Huang Sheng.

He would keep the Clear Jade Pendant for himself.

Therefore, Wei Changtian now gave the iron piece to Li Huaizhong.

Compared to the Clear Jade Pendant, the small iron piece lacked the "random teleportation" function after withstanding damage, so its effect was indeed not as good as the former.

He could naturally recognize that this was Ning Yongnian's "relic", so he didn't know what to say now.

Fortunately, Wei Changtian didn't expect him to say anything good. After giving the iron piece to Li Huaizhong, he turned his head back and stared calmly at the dark cave entrance.

It was almost Hai hour now, and nearly five days had passed since Yang Liushi entered the cave.

If the latter had really encountered some danger, five days would undoubtedly have passed the "golden rescue period", and the chances of survival were very slim.

But Wei Changtian had no choice.

He had already done everything he could as quickly as possible by asking Xu Suisui, rushing back to the Mountain God Temple, and dispatching people from the capital to help.

As for whether Yang Liushi was alive or dead now, he could only leave it to fate.

"Grandfather."

Suddenly speaking, he stopped Wei Zhaohai, who was preparing to be the first to enter the cave.

Wei Changtian walked one step ahead of the latter with a calm expression, turned his head back, and said:

"Grandson will enter the cave first."

"Alright."

Wei Zhaohai didn't say much, just narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Huaizhong.

"Eunuch Li, how about you enter the cave second?"

...

Li Huaizhong was stunned, knowing that Wei Zhaohai didn't trust him, so his tone was quite helpless.

"Old Wei, this humble one is here to assist the young master under the Emperor's orders. You don't need to worry too much."

"This old man naturally trusts you and the Emperor."

Wei Zhaohai replied blandly, then turned his gaze to Yu Qi and Zuo Huiyu.

"Lord Yu, you go third."

"Sect Leader Zuo, you go fourth."

"This old man will hold up the rear."

"You two, is that alright?"

"We'll do as Old Wei says."

Yu Qi and Zuo Huiyu had no objections, and both nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Among the four of them, Wei Zhaohai was the most senior in terms of age, cultivation level, and closeness to Wei Changtian, so his words carried a lot of weight.

Now that the order of entry into the cave had been arranged, it was naturally time to set off.

"Changtian..."

Wei Zhaohai looked at Wei Changtian and said softly:

"Go when you're ready."

"Okay."

Wei Changtian nodded lightly. With a "clang", he drew out Lou Ying, inserted it into the wooden barrel, and pulled it out again. A thin layer of beast blood clung to the blade.

He didn't say another word of nonsense, just took a deep breath, and then stepped into the cave entrance without looking back.

"Long-distance teleportation" was something that existed only in science fiction literature in his previous life.

Wei Changtian had read several scientific solutions on how to achieve "instant teleportation".

Some said it was necessary to use space folding.

Some said it was necessary to deconstruct the human body, transmit information, and then reconstruct the human body.

Some said it was necessary to use some kind of "quantum entanglement technology".

Regardless of whether Wei Changtian could understand them, these were undoubtedly assumptions made under the framework of "modern science".

Since this was a world of cultivation, there would probably be some different methods.

Before stepping into the cave entrance, Wei Changtian had been wondering what he would see, what he would hear, or whether his eyes would simply go dark and he would arrive directly at his destination.

However, even though he had made so much mental preparation, everything he experienced at this moment still made him feel the insignificance of man in the universe in an instant.

This was a scene that was difficult to describe in words.

It was as if everything around him was in the most chaotic primordial state, all protoplasm without a fixed shape.

Like mist, like water, like swamp, like illusion.

Wei Changtian's mind still remained normal, and he could even see his hands and feet, and see the beast blood falling from his clothes suspended in mid-air.

But with his knowledge system, whether in his previous life or this life, he could not understand what kind of area he was in.

Wormhole? Divine realm? Four-dimensional space?

Wei Changtian didn't know, and he even found that he had suddenly lost his sense of "time" and "space".

This sounded incredible, after all, the perception of time and space should be an innate ability of every person, or rather, every living thing.

However, although Wei Changtian was conscious, he really didn't know how long he had stayed in this mysterious space, nor did he know how big or small it was.

He only knew that as soon as he entered the cave entrance, he was wrapped in that invisible force and kept moving forward towards the light point in front.

That was undoubtedly the other end of the teleportation array.

And if he could turn back, Wei Changtian believed that there must also be a similar light spot behind him, representing the Mountain God Temple.

Enter the fourth dimension first, and then return to the third dimension?

Is this the principle of teleportation?

Wei Changtian's brain was running at high speed, and more and more light spots appeared in his vision.

These light spots were of different sizes, scattered in all directions, as numerous as the stars in the night sky.

Wei Changtian suddenly realized that each star here might represent an "exit" in the "real world".

Then, if one day he could resist this great force and walk freely in this area... wouldn't he be able to go to any place he wanted to in an instant?

His thoughts had jumped to who knows where, and the bright spot in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, eventually turning into a golden door.

The dazzling golden light made Wei Changtian close his eyes subconsciously.

At this moment, as the invisible force suddenly disappeared, the perception of time and space was restored again.

"Da!"

Stepping on solid ground, Wei Changtian felt "at peace upon landing" for the first time.

He slowly opened his eyes, wanting to observe the surrounding situation.

But in the next second, a rain of swords and blades enveloped him.
