God Vault Space

"Yaoyao, I'm going to head into the God Vault Space to scout things out. I'll leave this to you." Yu Xian took out the God Vault Token and spoke to Zhang Buyao beside him. Once he received her response, he instantly returned to the Everlasting Silence Prison Tower. He appeared in the Warden's room, and the next moment, he activated the God Vault Token. Sure enough, this time he felt something. ... ... The God Vault Space. Yu Xian slowly opened his eyes. What greeted his gaze was a vast blue space. There was no telling how immense this space was, but it had already fallen into ruin, filled with floating palaces, islands, and broken walls. There was also a colossal statue missing a leg floating tilted in the expanse, an ancient grand bell hanging inverted from a roof, and a fountain still spouting water—its splashing blooms never wilting. Time seemed frozen across everything, leaving one to wonder just how long it had been since a visitor last arrived. "Where is that tower—well, the God Vault Tower?" Yu Xian looked out across the expanse, unable to see any end to it. This space was far too large; the floating islands alone were beyond counting. Sure enough, scouting ahead first had been the right call. Otherwise, if he brought an Abyss creature in and still had to look around for the God Vault Tower, there would be too many unpredictable variables. Yu Xian glanced down at where he was standing. It seemed to be part of a plaza, but only a small fragment remained, making it impossible to tell how large the original plaza had been. "Let's look around first." After some thought, Yu Xian immediately shot into the sky and flew toward the nearest island. In fact, he soon realized these islands were not true islands at all, but rather the summits of certain mountain peaks; the mountain bodies had vanished, leaving behind only modest, isolated mountaintops. He searched several islands in a row but found nothing, discovering only the skeletal remains of various creatures. Clearly, the God Vault Space had once harbored living beings in the past, but all had perished with its decline. Ten minutes later, he landed on the wreckage of a building. It was a library with a circular clock in the center. Through the glass windows, Yu Xian saw books inside, and an idea struck him: go in and check whether there was a map of the God Vault Space. If there was a map, he could use landmark buildings on it to figure out his orientation and find the God Vault Tower. For instance, this library could serve as a reference point to fix his bearings. Yu Xian shattered the glass with a punch and stepped through the window into the library's interior. The entire library was tilted, yet the bookshelves and books inside remained in their original positions, unaffected by the tilt. Yu Xian picked up a book related to geography and flipped through it. Unfortunately, he found no map of the God Vault Space, but rather maps of Earth from several different worlds. He put the book into his storage ring and continued searching. In the end, he confirmed there were no maps of the God Vault Space here. Instead, there were quite a few ancient cultivation techniques and historical texts. He collected all these books to read at his leisure when he had time later. Emerging from the library, he looked at the endless expanse, feeling a bit lost. "Could the God Vault Tower be gone already?" "No, if Auntie Number Two said the God Vault Tower can imprison Zuo Zhengzong, then it most likely still exists." "I'll keep looking..." Yu Xian took a deep breath and activated his ability. One eyeball bubble after another drifted swiftly out from his palm. Searching on his own was too slow; he needed to make use of his abilities. Countless eyeball bubbles explored in different directions, and the model of the God Vault Space in Yu Xian's mind grew increasingly complete. It seemed this place had originally been a vast continent, but for unknown reasons, it had shattered into pieces. The Transcender who created the God Vault Space had evidently lost interest in it, so the God Vault Space had remained in its current state ever since, never undergoing repairs. "Found it!" Sure enough, more eyes meant faster searching. One of Yu Xian's eyeball bubbles spotted an enormous tower. In an instant, Yu Xian used that eyeball bubble to appear before the tower. It was a hexagonal ancient pagoda, floating upside down in the blue space, surrounded by a ring of gravel. He flew up to the tower's entrance and pushed hard, but the gates didn't budge at all. "Could this not be the God Vault Tower?" Seeing that the door wouldn't budge, Yu Xian flew in a circle around the tower, guessing internally. Sure enough, the very next moment, another eyeball bubble spotted yet another tower. But this one was extraordinarily massive. The tower he was at right now was only about fifty meters tall, while the tower found by the other eyeball bubble was at least ten thousand meters high—staggeringly colossal. What was more, this tower was not floating alone in the God Vault Space; it floated along with its foundation and island, completely upright and undamaged. "Let's go take a look." With a thought, Yu Xian appeared in front of the colossal ancient tower the very next second. In that instant, a throbbing sensation stirred in his heart. His gaze fell upon the ancient tower's entrance. The head of a Pixiu protruded from the door, bearing a round black gemstone on its forehead, and the throbbing he felt originated from that very gem. "This has to be it. This is the God Vault Tower," Yu Xian thought as he looked at the Pixiu. He stepped forward cautiously, not daring to touch the Pixiu. After considering it, he left behind a few spatial bubbles in place, and then departed holding the God Vault Token. The Everlasting Silence Prison Tower. Yu Xian instantly returned to his original spot. He tried to sense the bubbles he had left in the God Vault Space, but unfortunately, he couldn't sense anything at all. "Sure enough, I was expecting too much. If my ability alone let me enter and leave the God Vault Space freely, there would have been no need for the Transcender who created it to craft tokens," Yu Xian chuckled. Still, now was not the time for further experiments; it was better to capture a few Abyss creatures first and see if the God Vault Tower would accept them. Furthermore, once the Abyss creatures were dealt with, capturing Zuo Zhengzong would not be difficult. Zuo Zhengzong still didn't know that Yu Xian could track his whereabouts through Auntie Number Two. When the time came, launching a surprise raid to catch Zuo Zhengzong off guard would very likely allow him to capture the man alive on the spot. With a thought, Yu Xian instantly departed from the Everlasting Silence Prison Tower and returned to his previous location. Looking up, he saw Zhang Buyao wielding blades and swords, swiftly slaying Abyss creatures. "I'm back!" Yu Xian flew up and called out to Zhang Buyao. "Did you succeed? Is the God Vault Space pretty?" Zhang Buyao asked immediately. Yu Xian nodded. "Yeah, I found the God Vault Tower. Next, we'll see whether the God Vault Tower takes these Abyss creatures." As he spoke, he accelerated abruptly, appearing in front of an Abyss pig-head monster. With a single punch, he shattered the facial bones of the pig-head beast, then grabbed it by the scruff and added, "I'm going to try it now. If it works, the Abyss creatures' doomsday has arrived." "Hurry on then, leave this to me," Zhang Buyao said at once. She hated hassle, so when she learned there was a way to resolve the trouble, she was more eager than anyone. Yu Xian nodded, and clutching the pig-head monster, he instantly vanished.
