Chapter 1118 - Researching the Pocket Universe, the Mini Universe, the Enchanted Sleeve
Besides Lan Yu and Shang Honghua, things had also been going smoothly over at Chu Hong's side. She, too, had obtained a great treasure.
Her return to Sycamore Mountain this time was, in fact, requested by Huang Mountain Ruler. The reason was that an ancient ruin had been discovered inside Sycamore Mountain.
That ancient ruin was left behind by a pure-blooded Godly Phoenix.
From the knowledge she gained in that ancient ruin, Chu Hong had successfully awakened her Godly Phoenix bloodline two more times. It meant that she was a fourth-awakened pure-blooded Godly Phoenix now.
The purity of her bloodline had improved drastically.
Fourth-awakened divine beasts were very rare even in the complete Immortal World, and they were highly regarded as top-notch divine beast sky-prides.
Chu Hong was also quite surprised.
She felt that the wondrous Opportunity of Fortune had arrived too suddenly. It seemed to have presented itself to her without her doing anything.
Later on, when she was chatting with Lan Yu and Shang Honghua, the two ladies also told her about similar occurrences happening on their side.
That was when the three of them recalled Chu Kuangren's mysterious expression right before they were going to depart. They immediately realized that he surely had something to do with those occurrences.

"Could it be Master creating treasures and wondrous Opportunities of Fortune for us out of nothing?" Lan Yu laughed while shaking her head.
…
Creating treasures out of nothing?
Of course, Chu Kuangren could never do something like that. However, the three ladies knew that all of that was somehow related to him.
The Planquilon Immortal World's Will once said that as long as he represented her to participate in the Battle of Heavenly Champions, she would give him anything he wanted.
Chu Kuangren would surely not let that opportunity slip by.
Although most of the treasures inside the Planquilon Immortal World were useless to him, they could still greatly benefit Lan Yu and the others.
That was why he suggested they go out on an adventure.
Then, he would ask the Planquilon Immortal World's Will to present those treasures to them.
That kind of treatment was many times better than being some mere Heavenly Champion.
While the ladies were out adventuring, Chu Kuangren was researching his Pocket Universe in a closed-door meditation session. He, too, had benefited greatly from that.
As time went by, two years had passed in Planquilon Immortal World.
However, tens of thousands of years had passed inside Chu Kuangren's Pocket Universe.
Right now, his consciousness was hovering above the Milky Way, observing the changes that were happening to it during those thousands of years.
For something as huge as a universe, tens of thousands of years were nothing, and nothing interesting in particular has happened inside the Milky Way.
As for Chu Kuangren, he did not feel time slipping by inside this universe. It was as if tens of thousands of years were only a short while to him.
He almost seemed unaware that there was even a passage of time.
In other words, while he was researching the Pocket Universe, he had no concept of the passage of time.
It was as if he had become the universe itself.
The adult mayfly could only live for a day or so.
For a mayfly, a single day was basically their whole lifetime.
For an ordinary person who possessed a lifespan of decades, they would not even feel anything despite having wasted a whole day.
In that case, hat about a whole universe? How long would its lifespan be? Just too long.
Tens of thousands of years to a universe were akin to a single day, an hour, or even a second in a normal person's life.
That one second would be forever lost the moment it passed.
"It seems like two years have passed in the world outside," Chu Kuangren murmured.
He mobilized his consciousness to return to his body.
He rubbed his head. "This Pocket Universe is just too mysterious and unpredictable. I'm afraid it's one level higher than the Timespace Treasure and the Tome of Physiques. With my current abilities, it'll be unrealistic for me to study it thoroughly."
"One step at a time."
Having said that, he had gained a lot from the two-year closed-door meditation session.
Firstly, he found out that he could channel the Pocket Universe's energy just like he did with the Planquilon Immortal World's and the Heavenly Dao energy back in the day.
However, since the laws of his Pocket Universe were not compatible with the universe he was currently in, Chu Kuangren could only channel a little bit of it.
Despite that, it was enough to benefit him greatly.
He called that little strand of energy from the Pocket Universe as the Mini Universe!
Besides that, he also learned many things from his research. For instance, the objects inside his Pocket Universe could not be brought into his current universe, and vice versa…
"Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a God-tier reward – the Enchanted Sleeve!"
Chu Kuangren rolled his gacha when he was preparing to go out.
He had obtained a God-tier reward.
It was a very powerful spatial Immortal Technique, even stronger than the likes of the Sword-like Heavenly Intent, a Gilded Immortal Technique.
"Interesting. Rumor has it that only Arch Gilded Immortals can master a Spatial Immortal Technique like the Enchanted Sleeve."
"However, I should be able to as well."
Chu Kuangren retrieved that Immortal Technique. With a wave from his sleeve, his Immortal's Core energy surged and transformed into spatial energy.
Then, the chair in front of him instantly disappeared.
It was not kept inside his Yin and Yang ring but in an emptier dimension instead — a dimension inside the Enchanted Sleeve!
The size of that dimension was determined by the user's cultivation level. Unlike the Yin and Yang Ring, that dimension could be used to store living objects, and the spatial energy inside could be used to nullify any incoming attacks.
It was a very useful technique that could be used in many ways.
Legends had it that some Arch Gilded Immortal cultivators who were masters of the Enchanted Sleeve had used this technique to store hundreds or even thousands of planets.
At their peak of cultivation, they could even store a whole galaxy inside their sleeve.
After familiarizing himself with the Enchanted Sleeve, Chu Kuangren walked out of his room. Lan Yu and the others were already waiting for him outside.
The three ladies quickly greeted him and told him everything that happened to them over the past two years. They were a little puzzled by all of that.
"Master, does this have anything to do with you?" Lan Yu asked curiously.
"A little, I suppose." Chu Kuangren did not lie. He then briefly told them about his deal with the Planquilon Immortal World's Will.
Everyone was amazed.
"Now that the Battle of Destiny in Planquilon Immortal World has ended, let's return to the Firmament Star for a while," Chu Kuangren said.
Nothing here in Planquilon Immortal world piqued his interest anymore. The only thing left was to wait for the Fragmented Immortal Worlds to merge and the Battle of Heavenly Champions to start.
"Very well."
Lan Yu and the others had a look of nostalgia in their eyes. It had been a while since they returned to the Firmament Star.
Soon after, Chu Kuangren bid farewell to the Dean and the others.
…
Inside the Firmament Galaxy, a warship appeared out of nowhere.
Onboard this warship was Chu Kuangren and his party. Besides the three ladies, Lil Fox, and him, Gu Wuqing, the Sword Crown, He Yu, and He Fei were also there.
After all, they were all Chu Kuangren's followers.
More specifically, they were followers who could contribute more to the expansion of the Firmament Star.
Chu Kuangren's Immortal Consciousness surged, covering an area of millions of kilometers. He was gathering intel and keeping up to date with the Firmament Star's situation.
The Firmament Star had prospered tremendously, and its civilization had grown far more powerful than his last visit.
A new generation of Immortals had even emerged in the few years since he left. With the help of the Yokai Fox Forefather, Gu Xing, and others, the Firmament Star had now expanded its domain, covering dozens of nearby galaxies.
That was something Chu Kuangren had never expected when he left.
"It looks like Linglong and the others have been doing a superb job as usual." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
On Firmament Star, inside the Firmament Empire's Capital City, Linglong was busy dealing with governmental affairs. With the continuous territorial expansion, the things the Empire had to deal with had increased tremendously as well.
Although the Firmament Empire possessed a complete organizational structure for her to manage multiple major civilizations easily, there were still many documents she had to go through herself, especially those civilizations with Immortals in their ranks.
Those civilizations may have pledged their allegiance to the Firmament Star, but there were still a few hidden threats that she had to be aware of. After all, the Firmament Empire had risen too quickly.
Just when she was busy doing her work, she suddenly heard sounds of footsteps before her, and she immediately went on high alert.
That sound was only one meter away from her.
'Who is it?!
'Who can possibly sneak in so close undetected? Even those Higher Third-grade Immortals can't do it!'
She lifted her head to see who it was. However, the moment she saw him, the alertness in her eyes immediately faded and was replaced by a touch of tenderness. "Welcome home."
