Chapter 0094: Cultivation Space

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed after hearing Jiao Yaizi's words. Since Jiao Yaizi said this, he definitely wasn't dreaming, and someone who was dreaming wouldn't be pondering whether they were dreaming.

"Then where am I now?" Lin Yi, having ruled out the possibility of dreaming, was a bit puzzled. Where was he now? A moment ago, he was still on the bed in Chu Mengyao's villa, but the next moment, he was in this inexplicable place.

"This is the fourth-dimensional space inside the jade pendant." Jiao Yaizi couldn't help but snort coldly: "I really can't believe there's someone as stupid as you in this world, making me wait in the jade pendant for so many years. You finally came in..."

"What? I'm inside the jade pendant?" Lin Yi, though not a coward, couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face after hearing Jiao Yaizi's words.

"Yes." Jiao Yaizi frowned. Is this the person with a karmic connection? This person is really too disappointing...

"How did I get in here?" Lin Yi suddenly thought of an important question. Jiao Yaizi had also mentioned that he had been waiting in the jade pendant for many years, and he had just come in...

"You naturally come in when you sleep." Jiao Yaizi said indifferently.

"Huh!?" Lin Yi was stunned: "It's that simple?"

"Do you think it's that difficult?" Jiao Yaizi rolled his eyes: "But I have nothing more to say to you. For so many years, you never slept. You... You... As my great-uncle once said, you're too awesome, so awesome that you shine."

Lin Yi was speechless. When he obtained the jade pendant, he also received a cultivation manual called the "Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue." Since then, he had been cultivating according to the manual, using cultivation to replace sleep, and it had been several years...

"I... I have been cultivating the 'Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue'..." Lin Yi scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

"Of course I know you've been cultivating the 'Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue.' I can see everything inside the jade pendant." Jiao Yaizi snorted: "But I really admire you. You've been doing useless work for so many years and still managed to persist. You're even more awesome than Yu Gong."

"Uh... It's not entirely useless... I've cultivated to the late stage of the first level..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly.

"Huh?" This time, it was Jiao Yaizi's turn to be puzzled. He suddenly extended a hand and placed it on Lin Yi's arm. Lin Yi tried to dodge, but Jiao Yaizi's speed was much faster than he imagined, almost like teleportation! However, what puzzled Lin Yi was that although Jiao Yaizi seemed to touch him, he felt nothing, as if a phantom had touched him.

"You managed to break through to the late stage of the first level in such a harsh environment outside? You're quite talented," Jiao Yaizi was somewhat surprised.

"Ha—" Hearing Jiao Yaizi's praise, Lin Yi finally showed a hint of a smile. Jiao Yaizi, from the moment they met, had either called him a fool or sarcastically praised him. This time, he finally praised him once.

"But... what a pity!" Jiao Yaizi shook his head regretfully: "You could have cultivated to this level in a few months, but it took you nearly ten years! Your talent is wasted, and you've missed the best years for cultivation..."

"Uh..." Lin Yi didn't expect Jiao Yaizi to still say something to打击 him, and he was speechless. However, Jiao Yaizi's words made Lin Yi somewhat disappointed. Was he destined not to break through? He couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened: "Do you mean I can't break through the first level and advance to the second level?"

"Break through the first level? Is that your only goal?" Jiao Yaizi was taken aback, not expecting this guy to have such low standards.

"Can I continue to break through?" Lin Yi was also taken aback.

"If you had come here ten years ago, without exaggeration, you would have already broken through to the third level!" Jiao Yaizi said with a regretful look: "But at your current age, although breaking through to the third level isn't impossible, the older you get, the greater the obstacles will be!"

"..." Lin Yi felt like crying. He had been so diligent, only to be misled by his diligence! After obtaining the "Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue," he had started to cultivate hard, but it had led to this situation! If he had known, he might as well have just slept!

"Ah, but don't be discouraged. Even if you can't become as awesome as my great-uncle, who roamed outer space, breaking through to the third level is still pretty awesome," Jiao Yaizi, seeing Lin Yi's disappointment, tried to console him: "Who knows, maybe a gene mutation will make you super awesome."

Hearing Jiao Yaizi's words, Lin Yi felt a bit more optimistic. If what Jiao Yaizi said was true, it wasn't bad. Thinking about how the "Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue" had already brought him countless benefits by cultivating to the late stage of the first level, breaking through to the third level would make him even more powerful. Thinking about this, Lin Yi felt he didn't need to be so greedy.

"Do you mean I have a chance to break through the first level now?" Lin Yi, feeling more optimistic, was naturally a bit surprised.

"Of course." Jiao Yaizi nodded: "The energy contained in this space is several times, even tens of times, more than the outside world. Your cultivation speed here will also be several times faster, especially when you're about to break through. Because of the harsh environment outside, the energy is sparse and cannot provide the massive energy needed for the breakthrough, which is the main reason you couldn't break through before."

"Ah?" Lin Yi had never heard about energy before. When he cultivated, he indeed absorbed something similar to true qi from nature, but he didn't know what it was. Perhaps in some martial arts novels, it was called true qi, but Jiao Yaizi called it "energy."

"But I advise you to stop talking and start cultivating. The mechanism of the stone door was set up by my great-uncle himself. Even if I were not just a phantom but my true self, I couldn't force it open!" Jiao Yaizi glanced at Lin Yi and said indifferently: "If you don't want to miss this five-year period, then stop talking."

Lin Yi was startled! Indeed, the five-year period was about to end, and he had inadvertently discovered a shocking secret about the jade pendant!

He originally thought the jade pendant was just a mysterious object that could predict good and bad fortune, but he never expected it to be a cultivation space! And there was a person named Jiao Yaizi waiting for him inside!

From Jiao Yaizi's previous words, Lin Yi had roughly understood that the "Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue" and the jade pendant were left by Jiao Yaizi's great-uncle. He didn't know what kind of awesome person this great-uncle was, but one thing was clear: he had hit the jackpot!
