Zhao Qian's words were tempting, but Xiao Mu couldn't help but hesitate. The great war between the Heavenly Court and the Human world was about to commence. Did he really have so much time left? Was there enough time for him to enter the nonexistent place Zhao Qian spoke of to hunt for treasures?
"Brother Zhao, your proposal is good, but with the imminent battle between the Heavenly Court and the Human world, I'm afraid I don't have much time to help you hunt for treasures," Xiao Mu voiced his concerns.
"Psh!"
Zhao Qian curled his lip, dismissively saying, "Isn't it just about using the Reverse Creation Divine Array to open the Creation Array? Before I came here, I asked Yang Jun about it. He told me personally that it would take at least five days for the Heavenly Court to open the Creation Array."
"The space behind the Chaos Soil isn't too large. If explored quickly, it could be done in three days."
"Brother Xiao, exploring the nonexistent space won't affect your battle with the Heavenly Court. But have you considered, if you could obtain treasures from the nonexistent space, treasures like Chaos Treasures, Creation Treasures, True Five Elements Treasures, wouldn't the battle between the Human world and the Heavenly Court be much easier?"
That makes sense!
These words moved Xiao Mu. He thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, Brother Zhao, if I gather a few powerful friends to explore together, wouldn't it be even easier and faster to retrieve treasures from the nonexistent space?"
"Brother Xiao!"
Zhao Qian suddenly showed a bitter smile, "You really think too highly of me. I am just a researcher who enjoys studying peculiar things, not an Array Master."
"With my abilities, through research, I can only open a very small passage with this piece of Chaos Soil."
"Moreover, this piece of Chaos Soil itself is not very large. Even if a passage is opened, its ability to sustain is weak and unstable; if someone crosses from this side, the passage on the other side would collapse."
"Therefore, Brother Xiao, even if you enter and explore the space, you cannot return the same way. To exit, you will have to find another passage."
"Fortunately, being inside the space, it's much easier to find a passage. If necessary, just shatter the space and forcefully break open a passage. I think, with your abilities and the help of the Creation Treasure, forcefully opening a passage should not be a big deal, right?"
Xiao Mu nodded, finding Zhao Qian's words quite sensible.
With the Creation Axe, if he were inside the space, he could indeed forcefully open a passage to get out.
In the Human world, his temple could help with positioning so there was no concern about going off course.
Zhao Qian then added, "As for your thought about having an Array Master help open the passage, I've thought it through as well."
"I even discussed it with Yang Jun. According to him, he could indeed arrange an array through this piece of Chaos Soil to find the correct passage and deploy a large number of people to go in, but that would take at least two to three months of preparation."
"I can afford to wait that long. Can you wait that long, Brother Xiao?"
I can afford to wait too. Xiao Mu silently responded.
What is truly urgent is the Human world. The great battle between the Human world and the Heavenly Court is about to erupt, and this battle could potentially be a life or death struggle for the Human world.
If victorious, the Human world will continue to contend with the Heavenly Court; if defeated, the Human world will retreat from Twilight Forest Village and its living space will be significantly confined.
"Brother Xiao, have you made up your mind? When do you plan to enter and explore the nonexistent space?" Zhao Qian couldn't help but press.
"Brother Zhao, are you sure we can finish exploring within three days and it won't affect the battle with the Human world?"
Xiao Mu still had some concerns.
"I am absolutely certain. The size of the space has been precisely measured by me, using the energy emanating from the space itself. Brother Xiao, would you like to see the measurement data for yourself?" Zhao Qian was very confident in his measurements.
"No need."
Xiao Mu declined; this Zhao Qian really overestimates me; did he really think I could understand his measurement data?
"So, Brother Xiao, when do you plan to set out?"
Zhao Qian's interest rose again, looking at Xiao Mu expectantly.
"Brother Zhao, please allow me some time to think," Xiao Mu responded diplomatically.
"How long will you think about it? I'll wait right here for you, Brother Xiao."
Zhao Qian had no intention of leaving, quietly sitting still.
This Old Zhao really is something, forcing me to make a decision right away!
Xiao Mu secretly grumbled in his heart, but also began to think earnestly.
If it's as Zhao Qian said, that there are ancient treasures in the nonexistent space, then exploring it could indeed bring great benefits to the Human world.
Currently, the Heavenly Court has three True Gods, while the Human world has only two, Zhou Xuanmen along with Wu De, the Divine Monarch.
And strictly speaking, Wu De can't even be considered a person of the Human world, having only agreed to intervene three times, one of which he has already done.
At the Three Emperors' Tomb, an ancestor of the Five Elements is about to be revived. If this person successfully revives, the power of the Heavenly Court will further increase from three True Gods to four.
Even if the Divine Phoenix Lady successfully exits her meditation, the Human world would only have three True Gods, effectively two and a half, still not as formidable as the Heavenly Court.
The situation for the Human world is very unfavorable.
All this, however, rests on the assumption that they can successfully prevent the Heavenly Court from breaking open the Creation Array and securing the Life and Death Seal.
If the Human world fails, allowing the Heavenly Court to obtain the Life and Death Seal, the situation for the Human world would become exceedingly difficult.
If indeed there are treasures in the nonexistent space, it could indeed help the Human world, at least during the Pool of Chaos Great War to stop the Heavenly Court from obtaining the Life and Death Seal.
Well then, since Zhao Qian said that exploring the nonexistent space won't affect the Pool of Chaos Great War, I might as well make the trip.
