Chapter 173 - 173: 173: Flower of Space-Time Wandering (Seven more updates arrived)

“This is the place, this is where I found it last time.” Zhou Butong pointed to a direction and said.

“You’re not mistaken, are you? There’s nothing there, not even a twig. Where would flowers grow from? And if there are no flowers, how would there be star crystals?” Tang Yu asked skeptically.

“I can’t explain it either. All I remember is, a flash of lightning struck there. Something seemed to split open, and a tree grew within the crevice. The tree was laden with star crystals, all mature constant star gems. There were hundreds of them. In the midst of those, a pale yellow stargem sat on a flower.

I’m absolutely certain it’s a special star crystal.”

Tang Yu listened to Zhou Butong as if he was telling a story, but he was still somewhat skeptical. The situation sounded implausible, but since he had come all this way, he couldn’t just leave now.

The rain poured more heavily, covering the earth. The surrounding area lit up by flashes of lightning followed by thunder, but there was no lightning in this particular place.

Zhou Butong said in frustration, “I remember my teacher saying not to stand under a tree during a rainstorm because it easily attracts lightning strikes. But there’s such a large Star Fruit Tree here, why isn’t there any lightning striking

“That may not be entirely accurate, there’s definitely lightning elsewhere. We’re just not fortunate enough to have it here, that’s totally normal.” As they spoke, the lightning around them gradually increased.

Due to the dark clouds, the inside of the Star Fruit Tree was pitch black. Occasionally, a flash of lightning would brighten up the space.

There were flashes of lightning twisting in the sky in mysterious arcs, twisting and twirling either near or far, but none landed here.

“This won’t do, if lightning doesn’t strike here, the rift won’t appear. We can’t keep waiting. We need to come up with a plan,” Zhou Butong said.

“But what can we do?” Tang Yu asked helplessly.

“Metal can conduct electricity and attract lightning. What if we threw some metal over there? It might work.”

Tang Yu nodded, and Zhou Butong thought for a moment. He pulled out a sword from his Space Ring and threw it towards the place in his memory.

The method worked. It seemed like the sword attracted the lightning, and suddenly a thunderbolt descended from the sky, targeted the sword!

“Crack! ”

The sword glowed brilliantly, then fell to the ground.

However, both men did not look at the sword, instead, they stared up at the sky with their mouths wide open.

Lin Zhen was also watching the same scene, and he was also shocked by the sight.

In the void, a purple-black rift appeared.

The rift looked like a slowly opening, vertical mouth without teeth, with golden purple lips. An unknown source of light flickered, creating a deep, mysterious atmosphere!

Within the rift, a small tree stood in the distance covered with blooming flowers.

As the flowers bloomed, they displayed hovering objects radiating faint starglow. These were undoubtedly star crystals!

No matter if it was Tang Yu, Lin Zhen or any other person, they had seen countless star crystals and could easily identify which stage they were at, but they were still stunned by these unique crystals.

When Zhou Butong said there were hundreds of star crystals, he was not exaggerating; in fact, he may have underestimated the count. There were at least two to three hundred star crystals there!

Clusters of starlight were dancing in the night sky. Every single one of these mature constant star crystals naa energy more tnan aoume or a regular constant star crystal, blinding the human eye.

This was absolutely the most beautiful scene in the world, especially for martial artists. For them, these star crystals represented power, wealth, status, and everything in between!

In the middle of the dense star crystals, there was one that radiated a faint yellow color, mixed with grey and green. Its radiance kept changing. It wasn’t bright, but it didn’t have a fixed color either.

A special stargem! Absolutely a special stargem!

More than that, it wasn’t any ordinary special stargem. It was incredibly rare, a priceless gem!

Zhou Butong and Tang Yu were drooling, their eyes glued to the star crystals in the sky.

Zhou Butong, having seen this once before, managed to restrain himself slightly, taking the initiative to speak to Tang Yu, “Okay, let’s go now. You’re a Spiritual mind master, right? Fly me up, directly into the rift. As previously discussed, I’ll take that special star crystal, and you can keep the rest.”

The rift was forty meters off the ground, not touching the sky nor the earth. There were no nearby branches, the only way up was to fly.

Although Zhou Butong is an important person in the Beehive, he is not a spiritual mind master and does not have the ability to fly. That was one of the reasons he brought Tang Yu along.

After regaining his composure, Tang Yu’s eyes sparkled: “Alright, let’s go.”

He took out a shield, stood on it, and said to Zhou Butong, “Get on, stand in front of me. So when we enter, you can take the Star Crystal first, you don’t need to worry about me taking that special one.”

Hearing this, Zhou Butong thought it made perfect sense and immediately stepped onto the shield, standing in front of Tang Yu.

The shield wobbled, and the two of them flew upwards, straight towards the crack in the sky.

Lin Zhen stood behind, watching this rift with surging emotions.

“A space-time rift! It’s actually a space-time rift! The flowers within it are the

Flowers of Space Wander, for some reason entrapped within the Star Fruit

Tree. ”

“No wonder Tang Yu was so powerful later on, he actually found the Flowers of

Space Wander within a space-time rift. No wonder the one who obtained the Star Crystal at this time in the previous life wasn’t Zhou Butong.”

Tang Yu and the other person had no idea what this rift was, but Lin Zhen did.

This was a space-time rift, the other side of the rift was another world entirely. It might be deep within the vast cosmos, tens of thousands of light-years away for all he knew.

Space-time rifts had appeared more than once in the universe. These rifts often represented high returns, but they more often represented high risks.

If the rift was stable, one could enter and leave within a short time. But if the rift was unstable, once you entered, the rift might close, and the martial artist might be left forever in that world, never finding their way home again.

The Flowers of Space Wander only exist within space-time rifts. The Star Crystals on them represented spatial power. No wonder Tang Yu was able to master the upscale skill of psychokinetic teleportation. Without spatial power as the foundation, teleportation couldn’t even be thought of.

Lin Zhen saw Tang Yu and his companion ascend and was about to move, but he felt the rift flicker, as if it could collapse and disappear at any moment.

“Not good, this space-time rift is unstable, the lightning just now tore through space, but the power was not strong enough, this rift is about to collapse.”

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt Tang Yu wasn’t content with only obtaining ordinary Star Crystals, there might be a dispute between them.

As expected, Tang Yu and his companion had just approached the rift, and before they could enter, a golden-purple light shimmered in the rift, and it disappeared before their eyes.

“Zhou Butong! Explain to me, what is going on?” Tang Yu demanded angrily.

“1…1 don’t know either!”

The two unwillingly hovered in the storm for a while, then landed.

Zhou Butong, scratching his head, pondered hard, then suddenly slapped his forehead: “I remember now, when I saw this rift last time, it disappeared in a very short time, almost the same as this time.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Tang Yu thought for a while, gradually getting some clues.

This rift was fixed in this position, and to break it open, one could only rely on the power of lightning. However, that sword could only attract lightning once before it was dimmed and no longer attracted lightning. He guessed it was because the power of the lightning wasn’t strong enough. If there was a way to draw more lightning, there should be no problem.

Having thought this through, Tang Yu looked at Zhou Butong. “Brother Zhou, I think the rift won’t be able to run away, so let’s bolt it open with another lightning bolt. Then, you guys quickly go in, collect the Star Crystal, and come out. Wouldn’t that do?”

“Your idea is very reasonable, but my sword is gone, ruined by the lightning.”

“That doesn’t matter, we came together, it wouldn’t be fair to only let you make sacrifices. I have another sword that you can use,” Tang Yu said, taking out a sword from his Space Ring.

This sword faintly shimmered with electric light, it was obviously of very high quality.

“When I was coming in, the Tech Department gave me the latest product. The sword has an electric current inside. It should perform even better than the previous one.”

“Good, let me try to throw it up.” Zhou Butong took the sword and was about to throw it up.

“Wait. Don’t rush, I think, your throw was a bit off. Stand a bit further that direction,” Tang Yu began giving instructions.

“Over here?” Zhou Butong asked, moving forward two steps with his sword.

“You’re still a bit off. Two more steps.”

“Here? I believe it was here.” Zhou Butong moved a further two steps.

“Yes, that looks about right. Raise your sword, and I’ll check whether it’s the same position.”

Zhou Butong, who had Star Crystals on his mind, didn’t think twice about it. He raised his sword and pointed upwards: “I remember it should be here, look at those few leaves higher up…”

“Click. Click. Click!”

The moment he raised his sword, the current in the blade reacted with the lightning in the sky. Several bolt-like streams of lightning fell from the sky, leaving no time to react. They brutally hit the sword in Zhou Butong’s hand!

The human body is a conductor, and Zhou Butong, being the conduit, was hit directly by seven or eight heavenly lightning strikes. He fell on the spot, his entire body charred black, and died instantly!

Tang Yu wasn’t looking at Zhou Butong at all. He was focused on the sky.

After seven or eight lightning strikes, the golden-purple rift finally appeared once again!
