Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Suddenly, a burst of colorful light appeared in a certain part of the secret realm, and a three-meter-diameter array radiating colorful light suddenly appeared in mid-air.

A sapling, only fifty centimeters tall, shot towards the array like a javelin. Its roots firmly planted in the center of the array, piercing through it and simultaneously pushing it towards the vortex radiating immense energy.

"Pfft~"

Without a doubt, Shi Jia vomited blood. He felt the same way the sapling did; the energy pressure the sapling was experiencing was the same energy pressure he was experiencing.

He quickly took out crystals, one handful wasn't enough, so he took two, three, four... He had plenty of crystals and wasn't afraid of using them up!
Shi Jia stared intently at the sapling, using his mental power to break through the energy barrier formed by the dense turbid air. The sapling and the formation operated at full capacity, absorbing the turbid air.

80 cm, 60 cm, 50 cm, 40 cm, almost there, almost there!

He unconsciously absorbed the crystal's energy, and his aura visibly increased, progressing from peak Green Rank to early, mid, and late Azure Rank... "Pfft~"

He spat out another mouthful of blood, and his momentum immediately weakened. Just then, "Boom!"

A visible energy fluctuation emanated from the sapling and spread outwards, blasting Shi Jia away.

"Bang~"

Ignoring the pain, Shi Jia immediately looked up at the sapling. The sapling had lived up to expectations, taking root in the vortex of turbid energy.

Meanwhile, the array that combined energy conversion and purification of turbid air began to operate frantically, and the concentration of turbid air in the surrounding area was decreasing at a visible rate.

Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief, finally unable to hold on any longer, and fainted. While he was unconscious, the energy that the sapling fed back into him began to repair his body.

Once his body recovered, his momentum began to rise.

At the other end of the vortex, the turbid beast, which was preparing to attack, suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from the vortex.

"Ah!" A weak, turbid beast was directly sucked in by this suction force. The moment it entered the vortex, it turned into blood mist and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the intelligent blue and blue-tier beasts instinctively took a step back. "Something has changed on the other side. Let's attack the vortex together!"

The beasts exchanged glances, and powerful attacks fell into the vortex. But to their astonishment, all the attacks were transformed into primal energy and absorbed by the vortex!

Moreover, the suction force of the vortex instantly doubled, and the surrounding turbid air was instantly sucked away.

The next second, a gale formed by the turbid air swept in, and the vortex, like a black hole, accepted all the turbid air, no matter how much it was.

The beasts looked grave, knowing they couldn't let things continue. They immediately decided to close the vortex!
The ferocious beasts stood apart and simultaneously channeled energy into the space surrounding the vortex. As time passed, the vortex began to shrink, and seeing hope, the beasts immediately increased their energy output.

The sapling, which was happily absorbing energy, shook its leaves and patted the air in dissatisfaction, instantly doubling its energy absorption efficiency.

The beasts cried out in despair, but they had no choice but to increase their energy output.

With ample energy to nourish it, the sapling stretched comfortably, and its trunk visibly grew taller.

When Jia Youyou woke up, she saw a three-meter-tall banyan tree and her own mid-stage Azure Rank strength.

"Is it that powerful?" Shi Jia blinked, displaying a hint of independence in her young sapling.

Of course, he may never know that at this moment, a dozen panting, emaciated beasts are right in front of him, just a wall away.

"Phew~ It's finally shut down!" A dragon-shaped beast stuck out its long tongue, and the whole dragon twisted into a pretzel shape.

"This is terrifying! What on earth happened on the other side?" A tiger-shaped beast kept panting.

"Perhaps our plan has been discovered by humans!" A bird-like beast weakly pecked at its feathers.

“That’s right, humans are the most cunning!” a wolf-like beast affirmed.

"We must report this to the Emperor immediately."

"Let's go together!"

"go!"

"Grand Uncle, there's a group of monstrous beasts ahead!" Madam Lanxin gripped her weapon warily.

"Perfect timing, I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time. Young friend Lan Xin, please move away to avoid being accidentally injured." Lan Chen laughed heartily. "Grand Uncle, they are blue-rank and purple-rank turbid beasts!" Madam Lan Xin said nervously. Although Lan Chen was already a rainbow-rank, there were more than a dozen high-rank turbid beasts on the other side, which were not easy to deal with.

"No problem!" Lan Chen uttered two words and disappeared from the spot. The next second, countless attacks fell on those turbid beasts.

"Anger—" "Aww—" "Chirp—"

"Damn you, come here! I'll tear you to pieces!" the dragon-shaped beast roared furiously.

"Ow—"

"Unfortunately, before that, please become my fallen soul." Lan Chen smiled nonchalantly.

Immediately afterwards, Madam Lanxin witnessed a one-sided massacre.

Lady Lanxin was somewhat bewildered. How could these monstrous beasts be killed so easily?
"Take these and play with them." Lan Chen tossed two amethysts to her. "These turbid beasts have inexplicably consumed too much turbid energy."

"Huh?" Madam Lanxin quickly caught the crystal, somewhat puzzled.

Lan Chen had already arrived at the place where the turbid beasts had gathered. "Huh, there are spatial energy fluctuations here."

He reached out to touch the air, but as one of the most knowledgeable about space in the Kingdom of Painting, Lan Chen was not touching the air, but rather a spatial barrier.

"Huh, this is the boundary of the small secret realm!" Lan Chen raised an eyebrow. "So, were those turbid beasts trying to forcibly break through the spatial barrier of the small secret realm just now?"

Lan Chen looked at the dozen or so corpses of the turbid beasts on the ground, finding it difficult to comment. Did they really think the spatial barrier was so easy to break?

He had studied it for hundreds of years and still wouldn't dare say he could break through space with a flick of his wrist, let alone a group of wild beasts!
Lan Chen shook his head. "We should at least find the weakest point, or even the crack."

After he finished speaking, he looked incredulously at the space in front of him. If he was not mistaken, there had been a crack here just now.

Lady Lanxin put the Turbid Beasts into her mustard seed bag one by one before approaching Lan Chen. "Grand Uncle, these are the Turbid Beasts."

"No need, you can keep it!"

Lan Chen's eyes lit up. "Young friend Lan Xin, this time, we've probably made the right bet."

Lady Lanxin was somewhat confused upon hearing this. "What did you say, Grand Uncle?"

"The possibility of repairing the small secret realm, even..." Lan Chen didn't continue, "Let's go, let's keep moving forward."

Madam Lanxin opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask. The most important thing now was to investigate the matter at the center of the Black Zone.

Let's talk about other things later.

Within the small secret realm separated by a wall, Shi Jia heard voices in the distance. "Little sapling, quickly turn back to your original form."

The sapling was very obedient; it shook its leaves and transformed into a green light, landing on Shi Jia's head.

The sapling had grown to about ten centimeters tall again. But the swaying arc of its two leaves proclaimed its joy.

Shi Jia was also very happy. He had resolved the turbid energy vortex, successfully advanced to the next level, and even discovered the truth behind the collapse of the small secret realm. Most importantly, his hypothesis had been validated.

Although we are still a long way from sealing the center of the turbid air, we have a direction, haven't we?

"Hey, it really is a junior!"

"Junior! It's us. Are you alright?" It was a teammate from the Blue Team.

Shi Jia ran towards them, "I'm fine, are you all alright?"

"We're all alright!" After looking Shi Jia over and confirming that he was fully recovered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, how did you reach the Blue Rank!" Huang Qi and Liu Zhan pointed at Shi Jia in shock.

"Uh, this was an accident." (End of Chapter)
