Chapter 151: Void Fish! Traversing Space

Just like that, Gu Fan quietly sat by the lake, waiting for the creature’s trace to reappear.

Time ticked by slowly, and on the third day, Gu Fan was nearly ready to give up.

After all, it was entirely possible that the creature had accidentally stepped into the lake and died.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed the aura of a living being appear again!

Immediately, his spiritual sense converged and pursued the aura, searching continuously until he finally discovered that the aura’s location was right at the center of the lake!

Gu Fan gasped sharply, even feeling a bit like retreating.

To survive and move within a lake filled with spatial fragments—just how terrifying must such a creature be?

He could guarantee that even the Holy Son Ying Langtian would be instantly torn apart if he stepped into this place!

“Yang Spirit? No… at least it should be at the Three Blossoms Realm!”

Gu Fan pondered for a while before finally gritting his teeth and deciding to find out what this thing was.

He immediately took out several Nine-colored Yuan Crystal Stones. The pure and flawless spiritual power within these was of utmost allure in the eyes of any creature.

As long as this creature had any need for spiritual power, it would definitely approach out of curiosity.

Gu Fan waited while keeping his spiritual sense connected to the edge of the Bronze Gate. Should he encounter irresistible danger, he would immediately retreat to the Zombie World to take refuge.

And so, he waited for over two hours!

Finally, the creature’s aura began approaching the shore.

As it neared, Gu Fan saw its appearance for the first time.

He saw a translucent creature resembling a fish constantly swimming through the Lake of Space, sometimes leaping above the surface, sometimes diving to the bottom.

Had Gu Fan not known that this lake was filled with spatial fragments, he might have truly thought it was just a regular lake.

“This… a fish that can survive in spatial fragments?”

Gu Fan opened his mouth wide in shock, his face full of disbelief!

These fish seemed to not have sensed such treasures as Yuan Crystal Stones in a long time and frantically pounced toward the shore.

Gu Fan instinctively reached out and grabbed one—the next moment, a translucent fish was caught in his hand.

“This aura… not a trace of combat strength at all…”

Staring at the struggling fish in his hand, Gu Fan felt a bit of a headache.

So he immediately began studying it on the spot.

After a while, Gu Fan finally understood the nature of this creature.

It was a type of fish that, although lacking any offensive capabilities, was naturally sensitive to space. As long as there was the slightest spatial gap, they could accurately utilize it to move continuously through space.

A bold idea then surfaced in Gu Fan’s mind.

The spatial entry point a Void Fish drilled into was very small, insufficient for his body size. But if he caught dozens or even hundreds of Void Fish and let them all drill into a Spatial Node together—could he then follow behind them and traverse space as well?

The only risk was whether any accident might occur during traversal. If so, he might be forever trapped in the void!

“Damn it, the coward starves, the bold get fed. Worst case, I’ll just return to the Zombie World and resurrect. That’s still better than being trapped here for over ten years!”

With this thought, Gu Fan steeled his resolve and acted immediately!

He placed a large number of Nine-colored Yuan Crystal Stones along the shore, waiting for more Void Fish to bite.

Just like that, after waiting for a full day, Gu Fan ended up capturing over seventy Void Fish.

In the end, he condensed his spiritual sense into a string and threaded all the Void Fish together.

Finally, he removed all control and let the Void Fish move freely.

In the next moment, the school of Void Fish darted toward a specific area of space.

That part of space suddenly cracked open like a shattered mirror. As more Void Fish rushed in, the crack grew wider and finally formed an opening barely large enough for Gu Fan to squeeze through.

Gu Fan, seeing this, knew this was his only chance. He immediately waved his hand to retrieve all the Yuan Crystal Stones, then leapt into the void!

Inside the void, there was nothingness. Gu Fan felt his body constantly being worn down by the Power of Space.

He dared not waste time and continued to follow the Void Fish through the endless traversing.

Like this, more than half a day passed until the group of Void Fish finally opened a new spatial rift at another Spatial Node!

The next moment, Gu Fan didn’t care whether the place was safe or not. He jumped out without hesitation—if he didn’t leave the void now, he would be worn to death!

The moment he exited, he waved his hand and collected all the Void Fish into the spirit beast pouch he had previously plundered, ensuring they wouldn’t die in a short time.

Then his vision went black, and his body fell out from the Spatial Node.

In midair, he gathered his spiritual power, attempting to regain control over his body, but in just an instant, his expression changed drastically.

His spiritual power was unexpectedly suppressed by an unknown rule within his Qi Sea—he could sense it but could not mobilize it!

It was like a general who had lost command—he had lost control over his “military power”!

All the spiritual power in his body refused to obey his command!

Boom!

In the next moment, with a loud crash, Gu Fan fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust!

“Hiss… good thing my physical body is strong, or that fall would have cost an average cultivator half his life!”

Swish!

Just then, a cold gleam flashed, and a long sword was pointed at Gu Fan’s throat.

Then a cold voice rang out!

“Who are you!”

Gu Fan’s whole body stiffened. With his spiritual power unable to be activated, he was forced to stand motionless.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I’m just passing by!”

“Misunderstanding? Passing by? You happened to pass by my bath?”

“Yes, just a coincidence…”

Then Gu Fan’s expression stiffened. As he realized the meaning of the word “bath,” he immediately understood what had happened.

He slowly turned his head and saw a tall, voluptuous, stunningly beautiful woman standing behind him. Unlike others, this woman had a pair of horns on her head and a seven-colored scale at the center of her brow.

It gave her an exotic and unique charm.

What was even more fatal was that this woman was only wrapped in a white inner garment, accentuating her voluptuous figure even more.

Perhaps sensing Gu Fan’s gaze, a flush of strange redness appeared on her face.

“You still dare to peek? Believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your dog eyes!”

Gu Fan immediately withdrew his gaze and spoke righteously:

“Fairy, I truly was only passing through and ended up here by accident. If I have offended you, I sincerely apologize!”

“A fairy as beautiful as you surely has a kind heart. How about letting me go? I promise to repay your kindness in the future!”

The woman saw his sincere expression, and indeed, the formation hadn’t made any sound when he suddenly appeared here.

He didn’t look like a typical lecher. More importantly, in this world, any race that could maintain human nature was either innately noble or an ancient variant.

Behind such beings always stood extremely powerful forces. If she killed him rashly and provoked those behind him, it might bring disaster upon her family!

Thinking this, the woman withdrew her long sword and took out a glowing chain to bind Gu Fan’s hands and feet.

Then she put on a white immortal robe over her body.

“Hmph, whether you intruded by accident or not, I will investigate it myself. Before that, to prevent you from doing anything inappropriate, I will restrict your movements!”

“Before I return, you’d better stay right here and behave. I’ll interrogate you properly later!”

After saying that, the woman leapt away and vanished swiftly from the scene.
