Lin Yuan stared at the compass in his hand, his brow furrowed. The needle spun wildly before finally settling on a strange direction—there was nothing there, yet it emanated a chilling Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"What does this woman, Han Lingyun, want?" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth. "Is she trying to use the power of the parallel world to control the Tianhua National Qi Gong Association and then completely destroy our world? Has she gone mad?"
Su Jiu'er gently shook her head, her slender fingers brushing over the surface of the Ancient Compass. "It's not madness; it's ambition. The Spiritual Energy Concentration in the parallel world is dozens of times greater than ours. If she can open a passage between the two worlds and continuously draw Lingqi from there..."
"Then she could become a god in this world," Zhou Haoran interjected, his expression serious. "But at what cost? The balance between the two worlds would be shattered, and we might be torn apart by a Spirit Energy Storm."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and handed the compass back to Su Jiu'er. "Right now, the most important thing is to find out her next move. We've been tracking her for three days straight and are nearly exhausted. Let's rest tonight and continue tomorrow."
Everyone nodded in agreement and returned to their rooms to rest. Lin Yuan lay down on the small bed in his rented room, fatigue washing over him instantly. He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
However, this was not an ordinary slumber.
Lin Yuan felt himself floating in a strange space, surrounded by countless flickering Blue Light Spots that connected into lines, weaving together into a vast web. Upon closer inspection, these lines formed an enormous Meridian diagram, each Meridian flowing gently and radiating a soft glow.
"This is... a Meridian?" Lin Yuan was astonished to find himself transformed into a tiny light point, drifting within this immense Meridian network.
Suddenly, a powerful force pulled him toward a main Meridian. Lin Yuan gasped as he was swept into it, rushing forward with the flow of Lingqi. In this "river," he saw countless light points similar to himself—some bright, some dim, and others even displaying different colors.
"These are... Spiritual Energy Cells?" Lin Yuan's heart raced as he suddenly understood something.
At that moment, several red light points charged toward him, exuding a dangerous aura. Instinctively, Lin Yuan tried to dodge, but in this unfamiliar environment, his movements felt clumsy. One Red Light Spot collided with him, causing sharp pain as his own light dimmed slightly.
"Damn it, what are these things?" Lin Yuan cursed as he desperately tried to evade the successive attacks from the Red Light Spots.
"They are Spiritual Energy Entities that will devour normal Spiritual Energy Cells." A familiar voice echoed in his mind.
"Jiu'er?" Lin Yuan exclaimed, looking around in surprise but finding no trace of Su Jiu'er.
"I'm not in your dream; I'm sensing your presence through Lingqi," Su Jiu'er’s voice continued. "You are currently in a special Spiritual Energy Space, created by your Subconscious as a Cultivation Arena."
"Cultivation Arena? How come I never knew I had this ability?"
"It might be the influence of the Time Manipulator; it has altered your Spiritual Energy Structure," Su Jiu'er explained. "Now, you need to learn how to survive and fight in this space. Those Red Spiritual Entities will attack you, but if you can devour them, you will gain their energy."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. "Like a Cell Game? Eat those smaller than me and avoid those larger?"
"Pretty much," Su Jiu'er chuckled lightly. "But this isn't a game; it's real Lingqi cultivation. The insights and energy you gain here will translate into power in reality."
No longer hesitating, Lin Yuan began actively searching for smaller Red Light Spots. He discovered he could control his direction through Intention and quickly mastered the technique of navigating through the Meridian.
As he devoured the first Red Light Spot, a warm current surged through his body, making his glow brighter and slightly increasing his size.
"This feeling... is incredible!" Lin Yuan marveled, continuing to seek his next target.
With each Red Light Spot he consumed, Lin Yuan's size grew larger, and his radiance became more dazzling. He started to challenge bigger Red Light Spots and could even face multiple enemies at once.
During this process, Lin Yuan gradually understood the patterns of Lingqi flowing within the Meridian. It did not simply flow along fixed paths but followed a complex pattern, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, sometimes diverging, and sometimes converging.
"It's like... a Programming Language," Lin Yuan realized suddenly. "The flow of Lingqi has its internal logic; if I can decipher this logic..."
"That's right," Su Jiu'er’s voice echoed again, "Everyone's Lingqi flow pattern is unique, just like a fingerprint. If you can decipher Han Lingyun's Lingqi flow pattern..."
"I can track her down!" Lin Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "No matter which parallel world she hides in!"
At that moment, the entire Meridian network suddenly trembled violently, and a powerful force began to pull Lin Yuan deeper into its depths. Panic-stricken, he struggled desperately but found himself unable to resist this force.
"Don't resist!" Su Jiu'er urged anxiously, "This is the node deep within the Meridian calling you; there may be important discoveries there!"
Lin Yuan stopped struggling and allowed himself to be drawn into the unknown depths. The scenery around him changed rapidly, countless Meridians intertwining into a complex network that ultimately converged at a bright point of light.
As Lin Yuan was pulled into this light point, the sight before him left him utterly astonished.
It was a vast spherical space, with streams of Lingqi swirling like a galaxy around it. At the center floated a humanoid shadow—it was Han Lingyun! She was forming hand seals, surrounded by seven orbs of different colors, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations.
"This is... her Lingqi model?" Lin Yuan observed in surprise.
"No, this is her Lingqi projection," Su Jiu'er explained. "She is trying to open a passage to the parallel worlds. These Seven Light Orbs represent seven different parallel world nodes."
Lin Yuan carefully watched Han Lingyun's movements and the flow pattern of her Lingqi. As time passed, he began to discern the underlying rules—Han Lingyun's Lingqi flow exhibited a unique spiral state, with each hand seal triggering specific directions of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"I understand now!" Lin Yuan suddenly exclaimed. "Her Lingqi flow pattern is based on the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation! Each node corresponds to a position of the Big Dipper, and she herself is at the center of the formation!"
"Great!" Su Jiu'er said joyfully. "With this discovery, we can track her location!"
Just then, Han Lingyun's shadow seemed to sense something and abruptly turned her head toward Lin Yuan's direction. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes before it transformed into cold anger.
"Lin Yuan? You actually managed to track me down here?" She let out a cold laugh. "No wonder you're a genius of Scientific Cultivation, but you're still too inexperienced!"
With a wave of her hands, the Seven Light Orbs erupted with blinding brilliance, hurtling toward Lin Yuan.
"Watch out!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed.
Lin Yuan attempted to evade, only to find himself unable to move in this space. As the light orbs closed in on him, a powerful force suddenly yanked him out of that realm.
"Ah!" Lin Yuan jolted upright in bed, drenched in cold sweat, his heart racing. Outside the window, dawn had broken, and morning light streamed through the curtains into the room.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes. Grabbing his phone, he dialed Su Jiu'er.
"Jiu'er, I know how to find Han Lingyun!" Lin Yuan said urgently. "She’s using the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation, guiding Lingqi through seven different parallel world nodes! We need to act immediately!"
There was a brief silence on the other end before Su Jiu'er asked in surprise, "How do you know this? I just discovered similar clues through the compass..."
"It's a long story," Lin Yuan chuckled. "In any case, we now understand her movement patterns. Gather everyone; we’re leaving right away!"
After hanging up, Lin Yuan quickly got dressed. He stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky with a resolute gleam in his eyes.
"Han Lingyun, this time I won’t let you succeed."
An hour later, Lin Yuan, Su Jiu'er, Zhou Haoran, and several other teammates gathered together. Lin Yuan shared his dream revelations with everyone and corroborated them with Su Jiu'er’s compass findings.
"Based on the characteristics of the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation," Lin Yuan pointed at the diagram drawn by Su Jiu'er and said, "Han Lingyun should be at this location—the node corresponding to Tian Shu Star. That’s where the Lingqi is most concentrated among the seven nodes."
"But that place is in a parallel world. How do we get there?" Zhou Haoran frowned and asked.
Lin Yuan revealed a mysterious smile. "In my dream, I not only discovered her location but also learned a new way to manipulate Lingqi."
He closed his eyes, forming hand seals as the Lingqi within him flowed in a specific pattern. The others watched in astonishment as the air around Lin Yuan began to distort, forming a small vortex.
"This is... spatial fluctuation?" Su Jiu'er exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a strange light flickering within them. "Not only that, but I can also sense Han Lingyun's Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. As long as we follow this fluctuation, we can find the Entrance to the parallel world."
"That's amazing!" Zhou Haoran marveled. "You’ve gained great wisdom from this nap!"
Lin Yuan smiled but offered no further explanation. He understood that this was not just an ordinary dream; it was the result of the Time Manipulator interacting with his own Lingqi. This unique cultivation method might be the key to confronting Han Lingyun.
"Are you all ready?" Lin Yuan surveyed the group. "Once we enter the parallel world, we may face various unknown dangers."
Everyone nodded firmly. Lin Yuan took a deep breath and formed seals once more. This time, the distortion in the air intensified, and a translucent portal slowly appeared before them.
On the other side of the portal lay a strange world filled with Lingqi. Under a purple sky floated countless glowing crystals, while bizarrely shaped plants grew on the ground. In the distance, a massive tower-like structure loomed in the center of the plain, emanating a powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"That is the Celestial Pivot Node," Lin Yuan pointed to the distant building and said. "Han Lingyun is there."
Just as everyone prepared to step through the portal, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a pang of unease. He turned sharply to look at the space beside the portal. There should have been nothing there, but his Lingqi perception caught an unusual fluctuation.
"Be careful!" Lin Yuan shouted as he activated the Time Manipulator.
Time slowed in his eyes as he clearly saw a black beam shooting out from the void, heading straight for Su Jiu'er. Lin Yuan leaped forward, pushing Su Jiu'er aside while his right hand gathered Lingqi, forming a shield to block in front of him.
The Black Beam struck the shield with a deafening explosion. Lin Yuan was thrown back by the immense force, crashing heavily against the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
As time resumed its normal flow, everyone finally reacted to what had just happened.
"Lin Yuan!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed as she rushed to his side.
Lin Yuan shook his head, signaling that he was fine, and struggled to stand up. He fixed his gaze on the direction of the attack, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
In the void, a figure slowly materialized—a man dressed in a black robe with a stern expression.
"Li Honghe!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth. "The president of the Tianhua Kingdom association from the parallel world. I didn't expect you to be involved!"
Li Honghe let out a cold laugh. "Lin Yuan, your growth is indeed astonishing. However, today none of you will step into the parallel world!"
He formed hand seals, and the air around them instantly froze. Countless black dots gathered in the air, forming a massive net that descended upon them.
A look of determination flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes; he knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. Meanwhile, on the other side of the parallel world, Han Lingyun's plan was being executed step by step, and time was running out...
