Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 248 Mental Space

After his cultivation speed slowed down, Qin Xiaochuan turned his attention back to the witch's ring.

After guiding the rich spiritual energy to one side, the mysterious pattern reappeared within the ring.

Previously, when he was practicing his mental power, he tried to touch the pattern with his mental energy, but there was no reaction. However, he could not think of any other feasible method.

"Wait, the reason it didn't work before might be because my spiritual power level was low and my mental energy was insufficient. Now that my spiritual power has been raised to level 7, maybe it will work." A flash of inspiration struck Qin Xiaochuan.

Thinking of this, he quickly gathered his spiritual energy in his mind. After his spiritual power level increased, he clearly felt that his spiritual energy had also increased. So he quickly injected this spiritual energy into the mysterious pattern.

As he gazed, the space began to spin rapidly, a flash of white light, and he finally entered that spiritual world once more.

"It's a success!" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but shout excitedly in his heart.

Looking around again, he realized that this mental space, which he had opened up himself, was very different from the one before.

The previous space was limited to a very small area, and the things that could be seen in the space were also very limited. But this time, the mental space is at least several hundred meters wide. Not only that, in this space, everything within several hundred meters of him appears in the mental space, including the celestial monument in front of him, Han Kexin and others around him, and even the plateau pikas sleeping peacefully under the snowdrift.

Unlike the real world, as these things appeared, countless pieces of information also gathered in his mind at the same time. He could clearly see every snowflake falling in the air and hear the faint breathing of the snow foxes foraging for food on the snowfield.

This felt just like the feeling he experienced when he was practicing spiritual energy, except that this space made that feeling more tangible.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the Heavenly Stele in front of him. A layer of golden energy was constantly flowing on the surface of the originally simple stone stele. Qin Xiaochuan gently touched the golden energy with his consciousness, and the light and shadow that had appeared before reappeared in his eyes.

He then looked at Han Kexin beside him. There was also a ball of golden energy above Han Kexin's head, which must be her spiritual energy. However, compared with the Heavenly Stele, this golden energy was insignificant.

Qin Xiaochuan certainly didn't touch her spiritual energy. When he touched the golden energy of the Heavenly Stele earlier, he understood that this behavior was actually a spiritual exploration, and if used on a person, it would be no different from a spiritual attack.

As evening fell, Zhou Bin caught two snow chickens in the snow mountain and extracted their fat. Qin Xiaochuan lit a fire in the temple, and Zhou Bin used his spiritual power to create two barbecue grills. Then, he placed the cleaned snow chickens on the fire to roast. The four of them discussed their gains at the Heavenly Stele that day in front of the fire, while the monk Hui sat in meditation, seemingly isolating himself from the others.

Zhou Bin took out a bottle of prepared barbecue seasoning from his body and gently sprinkled it on the chicken carcass in front of him. After sprinkling it, he handed the seasoning bottle to Qin Xiaochuan and said, "What I saw was mostly some past events within our Blood Witch Clan. I didn't see anything related to enlightenment."

Qin Xiaochuan was grilling chicken legs and wings. As he sprinkled barbecue seasoning, he said, "I did see many ancient phantoms, but I didn't see anything related to enlightenment. Besides, there were so many of those phantoms; finding the information you wanted within them was like finding a needle in a haystack." (The latest chapter of "《》" has been updated; come and follow it!)

He then went on to describe those astonishing phantoms.

"I see so many delicious things," Xiaoying said happily, but then quickly pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "It's just that I can only look at all the delicious things and can't eat them."

Qin Xiaochuan smiled knowingly, patted the little girl's head and said, "After these chicken wings are grilled, how about giving one to Xiaoying first?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Xiaochuan is the best to me." The little girl tugged at his arm and leaned against his leg affectionately.

"Of course," Xiao Chuan said, flipping the chicken leg. He turned to look at Han Kexin, who had been preoccupied ever since she arrived. Coupled with her naturally cold personality, she seemed even more isolated from the world.

"And you? Did you see anything?"

"I don't have any either," Han Kexin replied simply, and then fell silent.

"So what did you see?" he tried to ask, not because he really wanted to know the specifics, but because he felt that the other person was constantly immersed in their own emotions and was prone to depression, and talking to them might help.

"None of your business." Those four cold words successfully killed the conversation.

Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head awkwardly. Seeing Xiaoying next to him staring at the chicken legs on the barbecue grill with her mouth watering, he handed her a grilled chicken leg, winked at her, and then gestured to Han Kexin with his lip. The little girl immediately understood and nodded.

"Auntie—" Qin Xiaochuan heard a long, sweet voice, and then the little girl hugged Han Kexin's arm. "Can you help me look at this chicken leg? Uncle Xiaochuan seems to have burned it. Is it still edible...?" She held up the slightly charred chicken leg, deliberately pouting as if she was a little aggrieved.

Han Kexin glanced at it indifferently and said calmly, "It's just a little burnt, nothing burnt."

"It's burnt!" the little girl persisted, holding the chicken leg directly to Han Kexin's lips, blinking her big eyes, "Why don't you try it for me first?"

Han Kexin frowned, intending to refuse, but when she met Xiaoying's expectant eyes, she ultimately softened. She lowered her head and took a small bite.

"How is it? How is it? Is it delicious?" the little girl asked expectantly.

Han Kexin nodded, her tone still indifferent: "It's delicious, you should eat it."

"Uncle!" Xiaoying suddenly raised her voice, turning to Qin Xiaochuan. Even though he was standing right in front of her, she deliberately called out as if he were far away. "Auntie said your roasted chicken legs are especially delicious!"

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Han Kexin, only to see that her gaze unconsciously shifted away.

So Qin Xiaochuan quickly took another freshly grilled chicken leg from the grill, handed it over, and said softly, "Here you go!"

Han Kexin looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it.

Qin Xiaochuan secretly gave Xiaoying a thumbs up, while the little girl smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescents. She took a big bite of her chicken leg and mumbled, "I knew it! Auntie is actually easy to please..."

"What did you say, you little devil?" Han Kexin turned to look at Xiaoying.

"N-nothing!" the little girl said guiltily. "I just said that the chicken legs Uncle roasted were really delicious."
