Seeing Wu Changsheng’s expression, Ye Zan couldn’t help but crack up, saying: “Alright, Old Wu. Stop with the fussiness and just take it. I don’t need any of this. I’ll just tell you when I do. After all, you wouldn’t refuse if I really asked, right?”

“Then, your student will accept it humbly.” Seeing that Ye Zan had put it like this, Wu Changsheng couldn’t really refuse anymore. Raising his arm, the objects on the ground melted into lines of light, flying into a ring on his finger.

Ye Zan had seen Hundred Treasure Spaces and the Universal Space in Mo Rushi’s sleeve, but never had he seen a Space in a ring. After everything on the ground had been taken up, Ye Zan pointed at the ring on Wu Changsheng’s finger and asked: “Is this a carrying Space?”

“Correct, this object is called a Universal Ring. There is a space inside that can be used to store things.” Wu Changsheng was very honest, answering as he handed his ring to Ye Zan.

Ye Zan did not fuss with formalities and looked closely at the rings after accepting it. This Universal Ring was opaquely black, seemingly made of stone, with almost unperceivable symbols engraved along its sides. Ye Zan had not yet done research on these things. Thus, he was unable to tell what the symbols said. 

After looking at it for a while, Ye Zan returned the Universal Ring to Wu Changsheng, saying: “Is this Universal Ring really hard to find? It seems like it’s just a more usable Hundred Treasure Space.

“It’s not really hard to find, just really expensive.” Wu Changsheng took the Universal Ring, placing it again on his finger, saying: “If Taishang likes it, I can prepare one for when you reach Foundation State.”

Ye Zan had his dimension, so he really wasn’t that interested in the Hundred Treasure Spaces. However, this Universal Ring was noticeably higher quality and easier to use. Thus, he was quite interested in it. Furthermore, he also had an idea: When he could use a Universal Ring, he could try and see whether or not he could open his own dimension from within the Universal Ring.

“Alright, then we’ve agreed upon it. I still have some other things to do, so no more small talk.” Ye Zan said as he rose to leave.

After bidding farewell to Wu Changsheng, Ye Zan returned to his living area. He really did have a lot to do, the first of which was to show Grandmaster Xuan Yuan the model of the Closed Realm’s Key he had got from the Secret Realm.

However, this time, Ye Zan didn’t need to go to Sky’s Peak; entering instead directly into the Void Realm. As he was a General Manager-like figure, he could find Grandmaster Xuan Yuan’s place fairly quickly after entering the Realm.

At this time, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan was projected onto a lower level Boss: a bear. He was currently scrimmaging with a couple of Yu Qing students. Those Yu Qing students were greatly puzzled. How was this common bear putting up such a fight?

Ye Zan didn’t show his figure but sent a message to Grandmaster Xuan Yuan saying: “Old man, I’m back. I have something good to show you. Stop bullying the kids.”

Over on the side, the bear fighting the Yu Qing students suddenly moved like it had been pumped full of steroids, sending the students into reincarnation with a single slap. After its display, the bear returned to normal, leaving the bodies as it wiggled its fat butt back to the forest.

After this, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan’s figure appeared before Ye Zan.

“Boy, this Void Realm of yours is not bad.” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan. who had just finished bullying the kids, laughed without regard to his reputation as a Grandmaster.

“It’s not that my Void Realm is organized pretty well; it’s that you’ve had a pretty nice time playing in here.” Ye Zan rolled his eyes, bashing him without any hesitation.

“I’m just teaching them to not underestimate any enemies once they leave to train. The beasts you have in there are too weak.” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan argued shamelessly.

Ye Zan moved his hand on the side, pulling up a screen in the air with a great number on it. Pointing to it, he said: “So, you had to kill this many people. You know, even though it’s just a game, dying is pretty painful and traumatizing.”

In the time Ye Zan had left, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan had grown addicted to the Void Realm projecting onto all sorts of human and beast figures. The number of Yu Qing students he had killed had actually reached the thousands. There weren’t that many Yu Qing students in total. If this were averaged among every student, that would mean that every person would have to die on his hands at least a couple dozen times each.

“Aye, they’re used to it,” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan shrugged as he immediately changed the subject, saying: “Didn’t you say you had something good to show me? Did you find a lead?”

“Come with me.” Ye Zan brought Grandmaster Xuan Yuan to an empty space as soon as he finished speaking. Here, Ye Zan’s system began to build up the model of the Closed Realm’s key, as well as the ceremonial structure it had been on.

“Hm, this is the Closed Realm’s key. You actually got the Closed Realm’s key. It seems you’re not useless after all.” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan said as he walked to the key on the ceremonial structure.

Seeing this, Ye Zan hurriedly followed, asking: “Can you tell me how to master the Closed Ream?”

Grandmaster Xuan Yuan came before the Closed Realm’s Key, slowly looking around it, disdainfully looking back at Ye Zan while saying: “This naturally would be no problem for me. However, YOU have a long way to go before you can master it.”

Grandmaster Xuan Yuan was noticeably displeased with Ye Zan’s current skill and his training speed. With Ye Zan’s current improvement speed, who knew when they could recover that drop of his Essence.

“I know I’m far from being skilled enough. But, don’t I still have Old Mo and Old Mo?” Ye Zan said unmoved.

“You’re really willing to give them this Closed Realm?” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan asked without turning back.

“Tch, it’s just a Closed Realm,” Ye Zan said with a hint of disdain.

Grandmaster Xuan Yuan smirked, saying: “This Closed Realm is not as simple as it seems.”

“What?” Ye Zan was immediately interested. In his eyes, the Closed Realm’s only value was in the fact that it had a great amount of spiritual energy, as well as plenty of areas for farming and growth. Other than that, he had already collected the information on mechanical and other techniques. What was left for “not as simple”?”

“Do you know who the original owner of this Closed Realm was?” Grandmaster Xuan Yuan said as he touched the line in the Closed Realm’s Key, seeming a little reminiscent. 

Ye Zan was even more invested, hurriedly saying: “I found some journals and records. The owner of the Closed Realm should be someone called Cultivator Bai Ji. Do you know who he is?”

“Cultivator Bai Ji?” Hearing Ye Zan’s answer, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan spoke with a questioning tone.

“Yeah, the Cultivator Bai Ji was experimenting within the Closed Realm on mechanics. From my estimations, he should have been doing this around six to seven thousand years ago. Perhaps he was even the origin of modern mechanics.” Ye Zan said as he showed the video of his journey into the Secret Realm.

But, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan let out a laugh, shaking his head as he said: “The origin of mechanics?”
