Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 68 The Secret Realm of Sky City
Lan Tian and his companions vanished in a flash, disappearing before the host's eyes. The portal to time and space also disappeared, and the entire cave returned to its original state. The energy ball shone brightly, and the emblem on it had disappeared along with Lan Tian. The guardian left behind by the demon race watched all this, realizing that there was no point in staying, and said to Yu Shan.

"Brother Yushan, until we meet again. I'll treat you well next time I visit Shanghai, hahaha." Qiming laughed and strode away.

"Mo Qiming, if you dare to cause trouble, Sky City will wipe out your entire Demon Capital."

"Hahaha, I'll be waiting for you." Qiming replied arrogantly, his voice disappearing outside the cave. This left the host with mixed feelings, unsure whether what followed would be a blessing or a curse. The demons seemed to have been prepared all along, and a calamity was inevitable.

I wonder how Lan Tian and the others are doing inside!

Actually, the demons went straight to the Lan residence after leaving this place. The defenses there are weak, and they offered no resistance. They were no match for Mo Qiming. Yi Mengying happened to be at the residence and was immediately kidnapped. Even Yu Jiahui from the Yu family, who was there with Yingying, was kidnapped as well. The two of them were taken to the Demon Capital by the demons. I wonder what will happen when Lan Tian and the others come out?
……

After Lan Tian and his companions disappeared through the portal, they reappeared in a massive palace within a secret realm. This palace was an energy palace built of circular, arched stones, with stone on both the top and bottom. In front of the circular palace were three stone doors, their destinations unknown. Lan Tian hesitated, unsure which door to open first.

Each stone door faintly emitted different energy fluctuations. Just as Lan Tian and his companions were hesitating, the three demons also appeared. Both sides maintained their distance and did not interfere with each other, restraining themselves from conflict. It was unclear which way they would go next. The three stone doors in front represented three paths or three different opportunities.

"Young Master, don't worry about the demons for now. Let's go our own way," Qin Lei said to Lan Tian. He wasn't entirely confident in defeating Mo Qihua, and now wasn't a good time to deal with them. They should first explore what secrets the secret realm held.

"Okay, we'll go through the middle stone gate. If there's any danger, we'll retreat immediately," Lan Tian said to everyone.

Before the three demons could react, Lan Tian and the others had already filed in through the middle stone gate and disappeared. Qi Hua saw Lan Tian and the others disappear through the middle stone gate and muttered that he couldn't follow them. He chose to enter through one of the other two gates and finally decided to enter through the left stone gate. In an instant, the three demons also disappeared.

Lan Tian and the others entered through the central stone gate. After beams of light, they found themselves in a vast, star-studded universe, suspended in space. Silence reigned; there was nothing around them, and even breathing was difficult. "Where are we? How did we end up in interstellar space? What should we do?"
Qin Lei and the three mysterious disciples, despite being the most powerful, were also at a loss. They were all ninth-tier experts, not yet capable of traversing the stars, and now even movement and breathing were becoming increasingly difficult! They had to find a way to leave!

Qin Lei and the others were desperately trying to figure out how to leave. Lan Tian carefully observed the surroundings and found a pile of rubble not far ahead, stretching out in dense rows. There was no other way but to continue along this path. Resources were scarce here, and there was nothing they could use.

"Uncle Lei, can you get the Yu brothers out of here safely? Is there any way to help them breathe freely?" Lan Tian saw that the Yu brothers were having difficulty breathing. Although he and they were both at the eighth level, Lan Tian was about to advance to the ninth level, so he could hold on a little longer than the two of them.

"I think we need to put an energy shield around them; that would solve the problem temporarily," Qin Lei said. Currently, there's no matter in the space that can be converted, so they can only rely on energy. Although the energy consumption is huge, there's no other way; they'll just have to take it one step at a time.

"Okay, I'll make an energy shield to cover myself too, so it'll be easier to move around." Thinking of it, they immediately put it into action. Qin Lei made an energy shield for everyone. They just needed to cover themselves and use their own energy to keep the energy shield from breaking. They could then breathe in space and use thrust to move forward.

Next, everyone followed the meteorite path ahead, slowly drifting away from this place. They hadn't rested for several days, and they had been working hard all the way, hoping to find a safe place, an alien space where they could survive.

They continued aimlessly forward, time passing faster and faster. Several more days passed without any results, leaving them exhausted. Should they continue? The asteroid belt remained unchanged; more asteroids lay ahead. "Uncle Lei, what do we do? If this continues, we'll all die here sooner or later," Lan Tian said, utterly exhausted. At this rate, they'd go crazy, if not die.

"I'm at a loss too. No one can think of a new solution! We can only keep going, what else can we do?" Qin Lei was also at a loss. Everyone was at a loss. Everything around them was the same; they had walked for so long and it was still the same.

"After walking for so long, it's still the same. It feels like we've come full circle," Yu Jiajie said impatiently.

"The starting point, back to the starting point!" Blue Sky seemed to have thought of something. Is that really the case?

"Uncle Lei, let's make a mark here, a pretty big one," Lan Tian said to Qin Lei.

"Young master, what use is this!"

"Try it and see if it's real. Don't you think these meteorites look alike?"

"You mean, this is..."

"Try it and you'll see."

"What are you saying? Try what?" the three senior brothers of the temple asked in unison.

"We'll know in a few days!" Qin Lei said, continuing forward and speeding up.

With everyone working together to speed up their progress, five days later, Qin Lei suddenly stopped and stood in a daze next to a meteorite. The stone in front of him clearly showed the mark he had carved a few days earlier. Yes, it was the mark that Qin Lei had left himself.

Now everyone understood that we had been going around in circles; this was a cyclical space. No matter what we did, we couldn't get out.

Blue Sky's conjecture is true. Now the question is, how can we escape this vicious cycle? This is not a simple question, and everyone is waiting for Blue Sky to speak.

Lan Tian understood. This was a cyclical space, a journey of about five days, and the space was not small. If it continued to cycle, everyone would die here. Now that he understood, he needed to find a solution and a way out.
