Consciousness Space
Once Ren Qingquan arrived nearby that teleportation formation, I knew this world both of us transmigrated into might not be as simple as I initially thought.
How do I know it is a teleportation formation you ask?
Well, unlike stupid Ren Qingquan with low literacy and only loved to read novels. I am a learned and refined system with expertise on many things.
As I am stuck in this super dark consciousness space without any single thing around me, I have been reading and learning from any materials I could get a hand of.
Whether it is the books Ren Qingquan previously scanned but is currently left alone to gather dust in the system library, or the composition of things I have scanned. I have already read through them all at least once.
Should I count this increase in calculation ability as a blessing or perhaps a curse? Right now, I am incredibly bored as there is nothing else I could do.
Uwahhhh I guess not talking with anyone except Ren Qingquan for a long time has made me go bonkers. To think I actually went to do something like asking questions to the nothingness around me, I even do some weird narration like this to no one.
You can say I am the living breathing example of the fact that humans are social creatures and they couldn't live without the company of other creatures. Although right now I might not even be alive, don't breathe, and neither do I exist as a human or even have any human soul at all. But I should still work as an example right?
Focusing my sense back to Ren Qingquan. Right now, I saw him and seven other people laying under the sun like a real salted fish on a certain random island after the blinding light that probably teleported themselves here dimmed.
As I am incredibly bored, I spent one point of energy to create a lightning before throwing it toward Ren Qingquan.
After feeling his grumbling sound as the electric current went inside his body and electrocuted him, I continued with sending a screen in front of his eyes.
[HOST! HOST! WAKE UP!!! Initiating another emergency waking up procedure in three seconds! 3! 2! 1!]
I immediately sent another wave of electric currents, before Ren Qingquan finally woke up.
"aww it hurts!"
After waking up, the first thing Ren Qingquan thought of was sending the lightning I used on him to those people laying around him.
His thought process seriously makes me speechless.
Don't ask how I know what he thinks, I already got the ability to read his mind since the first day he transmigrated-
Having decided his choice, Ren Qingquan finally asked to purchase the lightning I used.
Adding that lightning to the shop, I asked him to open the system shop. By the way, I am too lazy to think of the description for that thing. So, I just slapped 'A lightning bolt' as its description.
[Ding! Host, please open the system shop]
After I sent those words through the screen, Ren Qingquan opened the store in his panel. Purchasing one point's worth of lightning, he asked whether or not this thing could kill those people.
[No, 1 point of lightning is exactly the amount the system used to shock the host previously.]
Hearing my answer, he purchased another six point's worth of lightning.
Throwing those seven point's worth of lightning equally between everyone laying there, the whole group soon woke up.
After that group of people woke up, they started talking about unimportant things which I skipped by entering a daze until Ren Qingchen spoke something about how they are currently in the immortal cultivation world.
Hearing his words, I nodded my head or at least I did something of its equivalent, afterall I don't even know where my head is.
Ren Qingchen's word is in line with my hypothesis.
Since Ren Qingquan arrived on this line island, I could sense a massive difference compared to the world we previously had been in.
Using [Scan], I could detect the energy contained within every single material around me has massively increased.
The sand is still the same sand, the water there is still the same water which consists of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. But, their energies somehow increased by 10 times compared to the previous world. There seems to be an extra energy structure there which went beyond my current knowledge
That whole thing seriously makes me want to scratch my nonexistent head.
I also tried to secretly craft a grain of sand that I have scanned from the beach. The energy required to do this is still extremely small as it hasn't even reached 1 point. But, compared to the sand in the previous world, it requires 12 times more energy. The extra 2 comes due to my lack of understanding about the energy structure thing.
I digress. Anyway, what truly gives everything away and makes me solidify my hypothesis of this world being the immortal cultivation world is the extra ambient energies I sensed. that energy is of similar nature to the spirit qi Ren Qingquan generated from practicing.
Just when I am lost in thought, those silly people have almost finished their discussion about leaving this island and currently deciding which direction they will move into.
It is at this time I sensed something approaching toward the island at extremely high speed.
Once they arrived within 500 meters radius from Ren Qingquan, their vague shape finally turned less blurry.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
From my [Scan], I see a group of people consisting of 4 male and 2 female with energies equal to that of the Martial Emperor Rabbit stepping on sword as they fly toward our direction at high speed.
Upon arriving, those people spoke with booming voices while standing on their floating sword above their group.
"Halt! You have trespassed into the territory of Pure Wave Sect!"
When Ren Qingquan see those people, I can hear him scream 'IMMORTAL CULTIVATOR!' aloud internally.
I think Ren Qingquan has a wrong focus here. Personally, the fact that cultivators riding swords actually spoke the same word as Ren Qingquan's group from the Martial Arts World is more of a concern.
Just how could they speak the same damned language if you are from an entirely different world already?! On earth, just people from different cities could have a different dialect.
Hearing the warning those people gave, Ren Qingchen came forward and spoke toward them as he cupped his hand.
"Greetings seniors, we have no intention to trespass into your sect's territory. We are Martial artists from Martial Spirit Sect that accidentally stumbled into a teleportation formation and got brought here."
Hearing Ren Qingchen's explanation, those people nodded.
"Hmm? I never heard of that sect before. Anyway, the elders at the sect's guardian hall indeed said there is a spatial fluctuation here."
After saying that much, those groups of cultivators started some weird fluctuations among themselves. Seeing as their expressions occasionally change, I concluded they are most likely talking among themselves.
Glancing at Ren Qingquan's group, they are currently just waiting with bated breath.
As I am a bit curious about what is happening, I activated [Scan] and [Calculate] at full force to try my hardest to decipher those fluctuations.
Using my knowledge at reading expressions and after spending a lot of effort, I finally found a way to approximately translate their conversation.
Don't underestimate the difficulties of doing this. It is on the same level of difficulty as a human trying to decipher a dolphin's language.
Wait a minute, why the hell I tried to do that complicated thing just now. I could just upgrade [Scan] to be capable of sensing the information inside those fluctuations. Did I somehow get infected by Ren Qingquan's stupidity?
And so, spending a whole 10.000 energies which is just a daylight robbery, I gained the abilities to scan the information inside their fluctuations.
Just when I tried to focus on those people flying above, I heard Ren Qingquan suddenly calling me.
'System, what are they doing right now?'
[Ding! They seem to be talking among themselves right now.]
'But, I don't hear anything at all?'
[They are currently speaking through a fluctuation the system has just detected. Please wait a moment, the system will help translate their conversation.]
'For free?'
When we talked until this point, Ren Qingquan asked in suspicion.
[Yes.]
Ren Qingquan stood agape on his spot upon hearing my words. I could hear him mumbling about how the system has changed and it has stopped being so black hearted.
(¬_¬)
If you want me to charge you with that, then I will gladly do so.
[Ding! Host, please remember that the system could hear your thoughts. Your words seriously hurts the system and so, the system will charge you with 10.000 points for this function. Do you wish to purchase it?]
Reading those words, Ren Qingquan wished to slap his head. Which he indeed did as he walked toward a boulder in the island.
The surrounding people looked weird as Ren Qingquan slammed his head several times toward a boulder.
Even those members of Pure Wave Sects stopped their fluctuation upon seeing Ren Qingquan's sudden crazy action.
After smashing his head until that boulder cracked, Ren Qingquan finally purchased the function with gritted teeth.
And so, I focused [Scan] toward the fluctuation released by those people to hear their conversations while writing the words I hear toward a screen in front of him.
Right now in front of Ren Qingquan's eyes, there is an additional word written just like watching a Yo*Tube video with a subtitle.
"So, should we bring them to the sect or not?"
These words were spoken by the person who asked Ren Qingquan's group to halt. He seems to be the leader among them as he has the highest energies compared to the others.
"I agree with the decision to bring them back."
"I agree. Let's push all this trouble back to the elders. "
"Alright then."
Well, that is how their secret conversation went.
As those people stopped speaking. I could see Ren Qingquan's complexion darkening. Personally, I will also be angry if what I gained from spending 10.000 energies are merely useless words. Luckily I have healed from my brain cramp which made me create that translation function and transferred the loss to Ren Qingquan.
After those groups came to a conclusion, they started speaking normally once again to Ren Qingquan's group.
"Then, please come with us to our sect."
Saying that word, the leading male cultivator led the others to descend toward the island.
Third Princess and Elder Zhang rode together with the two female cultivators. Meanwhile, the others are separated into 4 groups. Ren Qingquan went with Ren Qingchen, Third uncle with that senior brother, fatty and Peak Master Fen rode together with one cultivator each.
Once everyone rode on the flying sword, all of them started flying toward the Pure Wave Sect those cultivators have talked about.
Just by looking at Ren Qingquan getting squished in the middle of those two people, I already feel extremely uncomfortable.
The sword they are riding at is only slightly more than 1 meter in length. Excluding the handle which couldn't be stepped on, the blade of this sword is only around 80cm. With three people standing on top of it, they must stick their body together while flying.
Not only that, as the cultivator controlling that sword has incredibly long hair, which coupled with the incredible wind speed makes the hair fly wildly. It caused Ren Qingquan's eyes to get poked twice already within a mere minute.
As Ren Qingquan is currently at an extremely close distance to that male cultivator. I already activated [Scan] and scanned the cultivator carrying Ren Qingquan several times over.
From his clothes to his internal energy, I thoroughly scanned every single part. I even learned the flying sword skill that cultivators used.
After half an hour of uncomfortable journey, everyone could see a mountain range with several extremely tall mountains located nearby the sea.
Those mountains are incredibly tall, their peak has even pierced through the clouds and hidden above it.
Soon, the leading cultivator that brought them started to pull some square made of jade and flash it toward the direction of that mountain range while slowing down and descending toward one of the mountain peaks.
After passing through some opaque barrier like thingy which is most likely a formation, Everyone finally arrived at the interior of Pure Wave Sect.
By the way while they passed through those formation barriers, I spammed my [Scan] toward it madly. With that, I obtained the data for this high level formation although only a small part of it.
This formation being a high leveled one is just my hypothesis though. Because in xianxia novels, the formation they placed on their sect is definitely the strongest one right?
