Chapter 586: World Within a World

“Dad, we found a place! Come and take a look!”

One day, Li Xiaojun was busy transforming life planets when he suddenly received a message from one of his daughters.

As Li Xiaojun’s children, they typically wouldn’t message him unless it was about important matters.

“What’s going on?”

“We discovered a world within a world in Pure Heaven that can shield divine sense detection, and now a passage has suddenly appeared. We’re currently inside this realm!”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun didn’t hesitate. He left a clone behind and chose to teleport.

When Li Xiaojun reappeared, he found himself in a completely dark world.

The darkness was because this realm had no light or electromagnetic waves.

Otherwise, with Li Xiaojun’s ability to observe all electromagnetic frequencies, it wouldn’t be entirely pitch black.

Fortunately, even though he couldn’t see it with his eyes, Li Xiaojun could still use his divine sense to observe.

From his divine sense, he noticed that the world he inhabited resembled a cave world created by Immortals.

However, this world was vast, and Li Xiaojun’s divine sense couldn’t sense any boundaries.

It could be considered a small world, located within the Pure Heaven world.

Unfortunately, this world was desolate, without any signs of life.

At that moment, the only beings in the entire world were Li Xiaojun and a few of his children.

As he sensed further, Li Xiaojun realized that there seemed to be no spiritual energy in this small world, reminiscent of Earth in the past.

Could there be Creation Jade Plate fragments here?

Li Xiaojun couldn’t help but speculate.

“Dad, you’re here!”

Once Li Xiaojun arrived, several of his daughters quickly waved to him.

“How did you find this place?” Li Xiaojun asked his daughters.

“We were reviewing ancient records and discovered that every one million years, a nameless spatial passage appears near Huangfeng Lake in Pure Heaven. According to the records, any beings that entered the passage have never returned.”

“Later, we calculated the time and found that the spatial passage would appear soon. We waited here for over one hundred years, and to our surprise, the passage really did appear, so we came in.”

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun said, “You all are too reckless! What if there was danger in here? You shouldn’t act so rashly next time, you understand?”

One daughter replied, “We thought that if we encountered danger, you would definitely rescue us, Dad.”

“But what if you encountered danger too quickly? I might not be able to help you! Don’t think of me as all-powerful!” Li Xiaojun said, rolling his eyes at his daughters.

“Dad, let’s see what this world is like,” one daughter suggested, changing the subject.

“Alright, I’ll fly in this direction. You all can look around and explore the surroundings. If you encounter danger, call for help,” Li Xiaojun nodded.

Then, the group split up to investigate their surroundings.

As Li Xiaojun traveled, he found that this world was desolate, nothing but desolation.

Moreover, he hadn’t detected any flow of spiritual energy.

In the past, when he was on Earth, he could still detect spiritual energy being quickly pulled toward the planet’s core, which caused the Earth to appear devoid of spiritual energy.

However, in this world, it seemed there truly was no spiritual energy at all.

Years later.

A group of people met up again.

Over the years, Li Xiaojun and a few daughters had explored almost the entire world, even the underground.

Yet, after searching thoroughly, Li Xiaojun still found nothing.

“Something’s not right. Why is this world empty? Didn’t they say that beings once entered here? There should at least be some bones left behind!” one daughter said.

“One million years pass between openings; any bones would have turned to dust by now,” another daughter replied.

“That can’t be right! There’s nothing here—no spiritual energy, no air. It’s like a vacuum; how could anything turn to dust?”

“Then where did those beings’ bones go?”

“I don’t know. My immortal essence is running low; I need to recover.”

One daughter took out an immortal essence stone from her system subspace to replenish her energy.

Li Xiaojun had opened system subspaces for all his children, so most of them stored items there, making it much safer than using a Storage Immortal Tool.

However, just as Li Xiaojun’s daughter brought out the immortal essence stone, the entire world seemed to light up in an instant.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the immortal essence stone in her hand was radiating intense light.

Li Xiaojun further used his divine sense perception to detect that within the immortal essence stone, countless spiritual items were rapidly being released into the outside world.

The light they saw was all from the release of spiritual energy, creating heat and light—essentially electromagnetic waves.

Under everyone’s gaze, a high-quality immortal essence stone completely released its spiritual energy within ten seconds.

“What’s going on?”

Seeing this situation, everyone was astonished.

“I don’t know, but it seems like the spiritual energy is flying in one direction, as if it’s being attracted by something.”

“Let’s follow it and see where the spiritual energy goes.”

With that, the group quickly chased after the direction the spiritual energy was heading.

One month later.

“The spiritual energy has vanished here.”

“Could there be something here absorbing the spiritual energy?”

Several divine senses scanned the void continuously, but they didn’t detect anything.

“Let’s try using another immortal essence stone to find out.”

Then, one daughter took out a low-grade immortal essence stone again.

Instantly, dazzling light erupted once more.

However, the low-grade stone lasted less than a second before it disappeared.

This time, everyone clearly noticed that the spiritual energy released from the immortal essence stone vanished in the void where they were now standing.

“Dad, did you discover anything?” one daughter asked, noticing Li Xiaojun standing still, curious.

At that moment, Li Xiaojun was carefully perceiving everything nearby with the support of his system-enhanced divine sense.

Soon, he detected some very subtle spatial fluctuations near him.

These minute spatial fluctuations were so fine that he wouldn’t have noticed them if he hadn’t been paying attention.

“We should leave this area to avoid any unexpected situations,” Li Xiaojun said to his daughters.

After saying that, he quickly flew thousands of miles away.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, his daughters hurriedly left the place where the spiritual energy had vanished.

“Dad, what now?” one daughter asked Li Xiaojun.

“Let’s continue testing with the immortal essence stones. This should be a spatial passage similar to a secret realm passage, but it’s hidden due to a lack of energy for maintenance,” Li Xiaojun explained to his daughters.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a large quantity of immortal essence stones appeared in the world around them.
