Chapter 203

Regarding the silver-white cube, over the years he has used it only as a storage bag; its other function is to guard the divine sense. With it present, any cultivator entering his sea of consciousness will be absorbed into the silver-white cube and be slain alive by the suppressing force inside.

But he never thought to bring it into reality for use as a protective charm.

Today the Silver Stone Gate spoke, allowing him to use the silver-white cube as a protective charm, which surprised him, and he immediately asked the question he had long wondered about:

"Transcendent Lord, I don't know what this Silver Magic Cube is?"

Silver Stone Gate: 【It was originally a vast expanse of void, at least larger than the territory of the Spirit Realm. In a world-shaking great battle, that void was shattered, leaving space rifts everywhere, filled with strong spatial power. An immortal sealed this region, intending to refine it into a spatial immortal treasure.】

【But not long after, that immortal died, yet this void continued to be refined. When I obtained it, it was about the size of your Spiritual World. Later my true form disintegrated; when I awoke, it was already in your mind, having been refined into the size of a fingernail cap, and it has acknowledged you as master! Your fortune is simply heaven-defying!】

【Actually, it was not I who brought you to this world, but the Silver Magic Cube. After bringing you here, it exhausted its power and can only recover bit by bit! I only began to recover after receiving a spiritual power stimulus! So, my recovery should be thanks to it!】

Wang Ping's mouth slightly opened; he had always thought his transmigration was caused by the Silver Stone Gate, but today he learned it was actually the silver-white cube that brought him to this world.

"Transcendent Lord, why do you call it the Silver Magic Cube? What other uses does it have?" Wang Ping asked curiously.

Silver Stone Gate: 【Because it will undergo some incredible changes, that's why I call it the Silver Magic Cube. However, you cannot use it yet, because the spirit inside has not received enough spiritual energy! Hmm, let me think. To let it fully recover, you must at least devour a world equivalent to the Spiritual World, so it can recover again. That requires your cultivation to reach the Void Refining level. For now, using spirit stones is merely a drop in the bucket!】

Wang Ping nodded, indicating he understood some things about the cube. When he first refined artifacts, he also took out the silver-white cube, so this operation is not unfamiliar to him.

With a thought, the space before him suddenly twisted, and a palm-sized silver-white cube began to gradually appear.

Previously, when his cultivation was low, Wang Ping did not notice the changes of the Silver Magic Cube. Today, as a Golden Core cultivator, when the Silver Magic Cube appeared, he felt the surrounding space seeming to collapse toward it.

The Silver Stone Gate spoke again: 【Stay calm, imagine making it lighter, and this phenomenon will disappear!】

Wang Ping followed the Silver Stone Gate's instruction, his heart like a windless lake, clear and tranquil, then he silently chanted "light"!

The Silver Magic Cube seemed to truly become somewhat lighter, and the situation of the surrounding space collapsing toward it also eased.

Lighter! Lighter!

After Wang Ping silently chanted a few times, the space around the Silver Magic Cube returned to normal.

Silver Stone Gate: 【Let's go in! Let's go!】

Wang Ping nodded; with a thought his body became blurry for a moment, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the silver-white cube.

At this time the silver-white cube had been expanded by him to ten cubic meters, containing his valuable items: the true form of the Awakening Spirit Fruit Tree, which he had not yet fully absorbed; the Breaking Law Arrow piled to one side; and some spiritual medicines stacked together.

Wang Ping was about to ask how to operate when the Silver Stone Gate's voice came again:

【The Silver Magic Cube has acknowledged you as master; you just need to silently think of your intention. Now first silently think that you want to see the surroundings clearly, then control the silver-white invisibility and fly forward!】

Wang Ping followed the Silver Stone Gate's words, and indeed he could see the surroundings, while the silver-white cube also began to turn invisible.

Thus, Wang Ping controlled the Silver Magic Cube to fly forward; along the way, the feeling of oppression that weighed on him vanished, and soon he arrived at the foot of a high mountain.

【Continue upward! Fly close to the cliff face; this mountain is laid with a Great Forbidden Sky Formation, preventing any living being from rising more than three zhang above the ground. I have already sensed the exact location of my fragment—it is at the mountainside!】 The voice of the Silver Stone Gate sounded.

Wang Ping nodded and continued to control the silver-white cube to fly upward!

Upon entering the mountain's interior, the silver stone gate opened,: 【Kid, you can control the silver magic cube to absorb the spiritual energy here; the mountain contains very rich immortal spiritual energy. Although you cannot absorb it, the silver magic cube can absorb it, and it can quickly absorb it to unlock the space.】

Hearing the silver stone gate's words, Wang Ping asked in surprise: 'Can the silver magic cube still absorb on its own?'

Silver Stone Gate: 【Stupid! Just like absorbing spirit stones, a thought is all it takes!】

Wang Ping's face flushed slightly; he silently chanted 'absorb' in his heart, a flash of silver light passed through the silver magic cube, then there was no further movement, but Wang Ping could feel the silver magic cube absorbing spiritual energy!

【Kid, slow down your absorption; at this rate, within a day all the spiritual energy inside the entire mountain peak will be sucked dry by you!】

Wang Ping jumped in fright, hastily slowing the silver magic cube's absorption speed; at that moment, a question suddenly occurred to him, so while controlling the silver magic cube to move forward, he asked:

"Great Exalted One! Why is it useless to use the spiritual energy I absorbed to expand the magic cube?"

Silver Stone Gate: 【Nonsense, your spiritual energy level is too low; also correct one point: your mistake is not expansion but unlocking. The spiritual energy you cultivated at the Qi Refining stage is, to a Void Refining cultivator, hardly different from trash? I can tell you, even if a Void Refining cultivator used their own spiritual energy to unlock the space inside the silver magic cube, it would be useless!】

Wang Ping suddenly understood, then felt a mix of laughter and tears; originally his spiritual power was useless because its quality was too low. However, Wang Ping also noticed the silver stone gate mentioning 'unsealing', and was about to ask when the silver stone gate became unusually excited:

【We've arrived! I feel another stone gate fragment is nearby; walk around the vicinity! I'll sense more carefully!】

Wang Ping glanced around, nodded, and saw that the spiritual energy here was misty, the vital energy vigorous; in his view, lingzhi were scattered, cranes danced in flight—those lingzhi likely needed ten thousand years to grow, and those cranes at least had Nascent Soul-level cultivation; in the distance, the rumbling of a waterfall could be heard.

Any being able to dwell here is hardly mundane, so Wang Ping became even more cautious, carefully controlling the silver magic cube as he wandered nearby.

After wandering like this for about seven and a half minutes, the silver stone gate still hadn't found a spot, but Wang Ping was unable to tear himself away from the nearby spiritual medicines; having entered the Golden Core realm, his previous pills were no longer usable, and the growth-enhancing herb had not yet been cultivated by Wang Ping to the third tier, so if he lacked precious pills or spiritual medicines of over a thousand years that could increase cultivation, his cultivation speed would inevitably slow down!

The lingzhi scattered throughout this place, after Wang Ping walked around, were basically none younger than five thousand years; picking any one at random, he need not worry in the Golden Core realm.

Although he lacked these, Wang Ping need not worry, for he possesses a thousand-year lifespan and could merely wait to reach Golden Core perfection, but no Golden Core cultivator would do such a foolish thing.

【I understand! My fragment should be in some strange space!】 the Silver Stone Gate said.

"Slurp!" Wang Ping couldn't help but slurp a mouthful of saliva!

Silver Stone Gate: ……

Next, it furiously shouted: 【Wang Ping, are you really putting effort into searching?】
