My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 3)

Chapter 413: Unknown Realm Gate

"What do you mean?" Lonemoon hesitated.

"Master, have you discovered something?" Yi Qing could not help but ask.

Shen Ying looked at them strangely. A moment later, she hesitantly answered, "Have your five senses failed you? Don't you feel that something is amiss?"

The two of them stiffened. Trying their best to ignore the hidden attacks in her words, they asked, "Are you saying there's something wrong with the immortal spring?"

"Half-half." Shen Ying frowned. "There's nothing wrong with the back, but the path it took seemed to be a little messed up. I'm not sure of the exact reason for that. I don't have enough strength, so I would need two of you to quickly bring us back to that time when it was being formed. I need to confirm this again."

"What?" Lonemoon asked. "Bring us back?"

"Yes, in time-" Shen Ying suddenly paused. She turned to scan them from head to toe. "You don't know how?"

They exchanged a look and shook their heads.

"Then how about spatial reproduction?"

"..." What's that?

"Position restoration?"

"..." What restoration?"

"You at least know about local reset, don't you?"

"..." Huh?

Shen Ying's expression turned to ice. Suddenly, she felt like her two assistants were severely lacking in some basic knowledge.Indeed, they were newbies! Afterall, she had trained for a long time before she discovered all of these for herself as well. Mm, I should inspire some initiative on their part to learn these things for themselves. Thus, she stepped forward and emphasized each word as she said, "What do you know how to use?"

Lonemoon, "..."

Yi Qing: "..."

She was beginning to get exasperated.

"Master, apart from those... techniques that you mentioned, are there other ways we can figure out the reason?" Yi Qing asked seriously.

Shen Ying stared at him. As if she recalled something, she cast her eyes to the side and said, "I just felt like something was amiss earlier. I can't be sure if I don't look closer into it. The only way is for me to look at it once more."

"Look at it once more..." Yi Qing thought of an idea and his eyes widened. He exchanged a look with Lonemoon beside him. Together, they said, "The Phantom technique!"

Lonemoon immediately regulated his immortal Qi, getting ready to perform the technique. A moment later, ripples appeared in their surroundings, as if they were in water. Phantoms began to appear all around them. They were now back to how things looked like an hour ago.

The Phantom technique was a kind of sorcery that was often used for investigation purposes. It would use the remnant auras in the surroundings to create an unreal image, so that people would be allowed to view everything that happened in the past. As long as no one was deliberately hiding facts, people would be able to see everything that happened within the past three days.

The image of the immortal spring appeared before the three of them once again. In order for them to get a closer look, Lonemoon conjured an array to to turn the space into an illusory realm. Everything suddenly became much clearer. It was almost like this was happening in the present moment.

A huge amount of immortal Qi gathered toward the center in the illusory realm, creating a white fog. Shen Ying quickly opened her screen and began operating on it. Suddenly, a bunch of data appeared before her.

The immortal Qi was becoming thicker and richer. Since they were standing in the middle, everything around them began to look foggy. The immortal Qi seemed to be condensing into something. A familiar white light flashed across them, causing the immortal Qi to become part of the spring.

"I found it! That's it!" Shen Ying suddenly exclaimed.

Lonemoon broke the array and caused the phantoms to disappear. "What's the matter?"

Shen Ying tapped on her screen. An image appeared in front of the two assistants. It was a picture of the white light. It resembled lightning. In the middle of the white light, upon closer inspection, they saw a faint blue.

What was that?

"It's a crack in the layers of the plane!" Shen Ying explained. "In that split second, an internal transmission passage appeared."

"Internal?" Lonemoon paused. Internal transmission passage. Didn't that mean...

It was a realm gate!

He started and turned to look at Chef beside him. Both of them were thinking of the exact same thing.

"Chef, try to detect the immortal spring's aura from earlier on. Re-open the realm gate that led to this place!"

"Yes." Yi Qing nodded. He closed his eyes and conjured a seal with both of his hands. Soon, an array appeared underneath their feet. Within seconds, the surroundings began to twist and turn once again. A crack appeared in the air. It slowly expanded, causing a mix of other auras to flow in.

There was immortal Qi and... spirit Qi!

The three of them stared blankly at the realm gate. It was different from the other realm gates they saw that linked the mortal and divine realms. It was neither glowing black nor white. Instead, this realm gate was glowing blue!

Where exactly... did this realm gate lead to?
