Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 284 A Vast World, Strange Things in the Human World

Thirty miles away, Chen Xu withdrew his troops.

Then he activated the Jade Leaf Knot's summoning spell, connecting with the little hedgehog Wei Yuan in his soul.

At this time, Chen Xu and Wei Yuan were already more than a hundred miles apart, and this distance was still increasing rapidly.

That's because the ship was moving very fast and was still heading quickly towards Pingyang City.

Chen Xu's mind connected with the little hedgehog, and he heard its indistinct voice: "Brother Chen... I'm here, I'm waiting for you on the boat."

It was blurry and indistinct, as if through a veil of mist, but interestingly, even though Chen Xu couldn't quite hear the specific words Wei Yuan was saying, he could still understand the meaning of the other's words perfectly.

This kind of exchange is actually better than direct dialogue; it has a sense of smooth communication of thoughts.

That's absolutely amazing.

Chen Xu replied, "A Yuan, summon me back."

His voice was equally muffled and indistinct; Wei Yuan couldn't hear a single word from him on the boat.

However, it can also directly understand Chen Xu's meaning.

In this way, the relationship between the human and the demon is not like that of some cultivators in the Beast Taming Department, where humans and demons sign contracts with each other.

In reality, Chen Xu's mental connection with the little hedgehog was stronger than that of countless cultivators from both races who had a contract.

Of course, since Wei Yuan's cultivation was still shallow, such mental exchanges should not be too frequent.

One can make about ten or twenty trips a day. It is said that it is not advisable to do it too often, but it is much better than the restriction of being able to summon only once every three days.

Chen Xu summoned Wei Yuan to summon him this time because he wanted to experience the specific effects of the Jade Leaf Knot Summoning Technique.

To avoid a situation where, when the crucial moment arrives, both sides are caught off guard and have summoning spells that they cannot effectively use.

On the ship, Wei Yuan gasped for breath.

The little hedgehog stood in the open space in the middle of the guest room, silently chanting, "Brother Chen, come quickly, Brother Chen, come quickly..."

When a thought arises, it seems as if some strange passage is opened in the darkness.

But that wasn't enough; Wei Yuan discovered that his summoning wasn't accurate enough.

It sketched Chen Xu's appearance and aura in the divine sea, and then changed its way of calling out: "Chen Xu, come quickly!"

A powerful surge of willpower arose, and the next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the open passage.

Now!

Chen Xu took a step forward and suddenly appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of Wei Yuan.

The moment they met, the air was still.

This summoning was devoid of any spectacular sound or light effects, nor did it involve any strong magical fluctuations.

Chen Xu seemed to appear out of thin air, traversing the spatial distance of the mortal world.

He appeared before Wei Yuan swiftly and silently, and their eyes met, a moment that was both breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

The Jade Leaf Knot's summoning technique is truly amazing!

The entry is indeed true.

Inside the guest room, Wei Yuan stared blankly at Chen Xu for a long while before suddenly exclaiming with joy, "Brother Chen, you really did show up!"

Chen Xu was still savoring the wondrous feeling he had just experienced while traversing space, which was different from passing through the Netherworld.

By using the Netherworld as a means, Chen Xu used his supernatural powers to create a spatial dislocation between the two worlds in a short period of time, thus achieving an effect similar to "crossing space".

However, the Jade Leaf Summoning Technique actually opened a passage directly in the mortal world, instantly folding together two spatial nodes that were originally more than a hundred miles apart—

No, calling it folding isn't entirely accurate. According to Chen Xu's understanding, it's more like this: the space itself isn't folded, but the nodes somehow overlap!
The moment he crossed the two nodes, Chen Xu felt his heart pounding wildly.

He seems to have touched upon some of the wondrous truths of this world!

No one can understand what Chen Xu felt during that instant of crossing that threshold.

In fact, Chen Xu himself found it difficult to describe it fully; he only had a vague feeling about it.

In that instant, he seemed to be looking down upon the vast world, with countless points of light shimmering in the sky.

Between each node, it seems as if countless wondrous threads extend.

He felt that the nodes and threads looked vaguely familiar, but when he tried to understand them more closely, he had a vague feeling of scratching an itch through a boot, and ultimately he couldn't scratch the sore spot, which was frustrating.

At the same time, some distant nodes seemed somewhat dim—

Chen Xu caught a glimpse of it and wasn't sure if he had seen it wrong.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was not focused on it that the distant nodes appeared hazy and dim.

He could only feel his heart pounding, and the sound in his ears was so loud, so loud, that it almost ruptured his eardrums.

Until the little hedgehog called out again, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"

Chen Xu suddenly came to his senses. In an instant, the surging blood and qi calmed down and returned to normal. The innate qi circulated throughout Chen Xu's body.

He calmed himself down, but the nodes and threads he had just seen gradually became blurred.

He couldn't help but frown, trying hard to recall, but ultimately his thoughts were scattered.

There was only one thing, and he blurted out, "Ah Yuan, I think I understand now. If I want to learn the Qiankun Technique, which direction should I strive towards?"

Wei Yuan asked with delight, "Brother Chen, what have you realized this time?"

Chen Xu said, "Although the human world is the human world, there are actually countless passage nodes outside of the real human world... No, that's not right." Chen Xu frowned again.

Seeing his strange expression, Wei Yuan immediately asked with some concern, "Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Xu paced back and forth in the cabin of the ship, and after a moment he suddenly flashed away.

In an instant, he stepped over the table and chairs blocking the way from the guest room window and appeared directly by the door!

That sudden movement was truly amazing.

Previously, Chen Xu's movement skills were also quite remarkable.

That was derived from the subtle nuance of the phrase "killing one person in ten steps" in "Ode to Gallantry," which gave Chen Xu a certain ability of the poetic spirit in the poem.

That is, he can take more than ten steps in one step, which makes Chen Xu's movements agile and gives him a magical image of being ahead and behind.

However, this leap is also subject to limitations.

First, it cannot be too far in the future; second, there cannot be too many obvious obstacles in the middle when crossing turning points.

That makes sense. Under normal circumstances, no matter how skillful you are, you can only move and dodge as fast as lightning.

No matter how fast you go, you can't just turn in mid-air or go through a wall, can you?

However, at this moment, Chen Xu, having overcome obstacles and achieved a teleportation, clearly possessed the ability to pass through walls out of thin air!

This is how the ingenious use of space is incorporated into the "killing one person in ten steps" movement technique.

Although Chen Xu "did not know why," and seemed to have forgotten the countless nodes he had seen before, at this moment, his progress in movement was natural and achieved effortlessly.

The little hedgehog was stunned. It asked Chen Xu blankly, "Brother Chen, how... how did you do that?"
