"Sis, you're here! I've been looking all over."
Li Bai looked at his sister, satisfied that he found her so quickly.
"Uh-huh. Where are we anyway?"
Li Bao couldn't hold back her curiosity as she looked around more and more.
The inside of the ring was very wide, but it was also very dark. The more one ventured farther from where Li Bai entered, the less they could see.
This was the same for Li Bao. Although she was not that far from where she and her little brother entered, her eyesight was already wavering.
"Ah, sis, this is my storage ring."
Answering his sister's question, Li Bai nodded accordingly.
"Ah... so we're in a stor- wait, what? A storage ring?"
.....
After a lot of explaining, Li Bao finally understood. She was inside the ring that her brother always wore after he bought it from the Zhou clan.
"Yes. For the past few days, I was trying to make you go in here, since there's plentiful of Earth energy here. But you just kept refusing me."
Hearing her little brother's words, Li Bao felt a sense of regret. She should've just listened to her little brother, he was only trying to help.
"You can try cultivating now."
As she heard Li Bai's words, Li Bao sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. She opened her pathways to let the Earth energy in.
The Earth energy around Li Bao began to fluctuate. Li Bai was astonished. He had never seen someone absorb Earth energy so fast!... except for himself, of course.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. There appeared another energy in the surroundings.
"This..."
He recognized this energy. This was the unknown emergy he encountered in his sister's room earlier! What could this be? And where was it coming from?
As he observed further, he learned of the source - it was coming from his sister! What... what the heck?!
"Sis, you..."
His sister was emitting such a strange but undeniably strong energy, how could he not be surprised? Li Bai was speechless. In all his past lives, he had never encountered this energy at all!
At that moment, his image of himself being an all-knowing being shattered. He learned that there were far more he had yet to know.
However, as his sister was cultivating, he realized something. Her gem was not lighting up at all! What could this mean?
Could this mean that the Earth energy she was absorbing was being converted to this unknown energy inside Li Bao's body?
Li Bai was extremely confused. In all of the thousands of years he has lived, he had never witnessed something like this happen before.
The ring started reacting to the strange energy. The Earth energy in the surroundings were changing to the same energy as the one that came from his sister.
Of course, Li Bai was unaware that this was happening, with him closing his pathways off. He couldn't afford to open them since that would make the energy enter him at an astonishing pace.
The darkness of the ring, however, was trembling. Dust was falling from nowhere, indicating that the black walls of the ring was being scraped off.
