Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Lin Quan's entire being seemed to transform into a vortex black hole that devoured the heavens and earth—spiritual energy from all directions surged in like rivers flowing into the sea, and he seized, swallowed, and refined it all!

hum-

A clear, resonant bell tore through the sky, and a golden bell phantom emerged from his body, solidifying into a tangible form with the breath of his breath, covered in dense golden patterns, exuding an ancient and sinister aura.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

A blinding burst of lightning erupted, transforming into dozens of silver-white lightning snakes that coiled around the golden bell and moved rapidly, crackling and sputtering with electric arcs.

The thunder intensified, the booming sound causing rocks to crumble and fall. Qiao Jingjing and her two companions were forced to retreat, their feet treading on the broken rocks, retreating thirty steps in one breath.

In the blink of an eye, the place where Lin Quan sat cross-legged had become a boiling hell of thunder—within dozens of feet, lightning surged like a tide, electric snakes danced wildly, the air scorched and hissed, and the earth cracked inch by inch.

He sat serenely in the center, enveloped by the golden bell, unmoving. The bell slowly rotated, occasionally sending ripples that produced a long, resonant chime that shook the very soul.

Three days passed quietly.

The thunder subsided, the clouds dispersed, and the wind ceased. The violently spinning vortex of spiritual energy overhead also slowly disappeared like the receding tide.

The aura emanating from Lin Quan finally settled and solidified completely, without any further fluctuation—the Grandmaster realm was as stable as a rock!

His eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils, as keen as a drawn sword.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three figures swept through the air, their skirts billowing, and instantly surrounded him.

Before Lin Quan could speak, the three of them congratulated him in unison: "Congratulations, my husband, on breaking through to the next level!"

Lin Quan glanced at the three of them, a slight smile playing on his lips: "At least, I haven't fallen too far behind you guys."

The three women before him were all top-tier experts at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm; Li Hanyi had already stepped into the Great Freedom realm, and was only half a step away from opening the threshold of the Divine Travel realm.

He had only just entered the early stage of Grandmaster.

Even though he had just entered this realm, his combat power had already surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Grandmasters—simply because he was the only one among them who had truly mastered the "Eternal Youth Scripture."

Although Li Hanyi and the others have switched to cultivating this skill, they are still in the initial stage of opening up hidden acupoints, and the thirty-six acupoints are far from being perfected.

On the other hand, even though Lin Quan had just established his realm, the amount of liquid true energy contained in his dantian and hidden acupoints was already in no way inferior to that of Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan—two powerful experts at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm!

The three women offered their congratulations in unison, but before they could finish speaking, they exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly becoming hesitant and uneasy. Seeing this, Lin Quan chuckled inwardly, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and simply said, "Just say what you have to say, don't hold back."

Qiao Jingjing finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first: "Husband's cultivation level has advanced, has there been any new activity regarding that Time-Space Mirror?"

The words had barely left—

Lin Quan was about to respond when he suddenly stopped, his brow furrowing slightly.

The long-dormant Time Mirror suddenly hummed and trembled without warning, and a scorching message struck into the sea of ​​consciousness like lightning!

After he had fully digested everything, he looked up at the three women and nodded slightly: "Your cultivation has broken through, and your Mirror Spirit has been revived, granting me another opportunity to cross realms and guide others."

"Once I have stabilized my foundation, I will take you back to the main world and open the passage."

"As for which realm this time it connects to..." He paused, a flicker of light flashing in his eyes, "No one can say for sure."

Upon hearing this news, not only did Lin Quan's heart flutter slightly, but Qiao Jingjing and the other two also exchanged glances, their eyes filled with undisguised fervor and longing.

Before they could ask any more questions, Lin Quan's gaze swept over the three of them, calm and resolute.

With the help of the tides of heaven and earth caused by his breakthrough, the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles surged and converged like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

Li Hanyi and Qiao Jingjing each opened several hidden acupoints deep within their meridians; even Wang Yuyan, whose foundation was always somewhat weak, opened all five acupoints in one breath, her true essence surging, and she suddenly stepped into the peak of the Grandmaster realm!

Lin Quan withdrew his gaze and nodded silently, seemingly pleased, yet also as if it were a matter of course.

"Let's stabilize our cultivation level first." After saying that, he took out a Hundred Treasures Pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The medicinal power exploded like boiling water, and he immediately sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing and refine it. The three pills entered his abdomen one after another, and dozens of drops of liquid true energy gathered in his dantian. In each of the thirty-six hidden acupoints, three drops of pure true essence condensed, full and ready to overflow.

By the time he had completely calmed down, a day had quietly slipped by.

"It's done."

He opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, his breath calm and steady like the stillness of an ancient well.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The three people in the courtyard had been waiting for a long time. When he opened his eyes, their gazes fell on him in unison, shining brightly.

"Let's go, we'll talk on the way back."

Lin Quan stood up and waved his hand. Before he finished speaking, his sleeves fluttered, and he had already teleported away with the three of them.

When it reappeared, the courtyard house, with its blue bricks, gray tiles, and slightly upturned eaves, was filled with the swaying shadows of locust trees.

"My husband?!"

Chen Xueru was taking a short rest on the veranda when she suddenly saw a figure appear. She was startled at first, but then jumped up excitedly and greeted the figure with a smile.

Swah——

Zhu Zhuqing's figure followed closely behind, appearing out of thin air. Seeing everyone gathered, her eyes flashed, and Chen Xueru instantly suppressed her excitement, turning into calm.

Lin Quan said little, only gesturing for everyone to file into the hall. Chen Xueru deftly prepared tea, steam rising from the celadon cups.

Zhu Zhuqing picked up her teacup, her gaze fixed on Lin Quan's face: "Brother Quan, you've broken through?"

Lin Quan nodded calmly: "I have entered the realm of a grandmaster."

"And with the favor of the Mirror Spirit, the door to cross-dimensional existence will be opened once again."

Swah——

Before the words were even finished, two flames suddenly lit up in Zhu Zhuqing's and Chen Xueru's eyes; even Qiao Jingjing and the other two, who already knew the inside story, paused slightly, their fingertips curling up slightly.

The room was completely silent, with only the silent flow of anticipation.

Lin Quan raised his hand, and the mark on the back of his palm suddenly glowed faintly, like a star just beginning to ignite.

In the next instant, spiritual light rose up and slowly condensed into an illusory bronze mirror before everyone's eyes. The mirror surface flowed, as if countless worlds were floating and flickering within it.

As soon as the illusory bronze mirror appeared, wisps of bluish-gray mist rose from its surface, meandering and moving like living things.

In just a few breaths, the entire bronze mirror was swallowed up by the mist, leaving only a hazy outline.

Swah——

In the blink of an eye!

A silver glint suddenly flashed across the mirror, rippling outwards like water.

Immediately afterwards, the scene broke through the fog: the sky was gloomy, the light and shadow were murky, and wisps of fog lingered and did not dissipate.

Lin Quan and the others all turned their gazes to the mirror, quickly exchanging glances with each other.

It was cold and damp!

This thought pierced everyone's hearts like an ice needle, precise and ruthless!

That's right—at first glance, it's chillingly cold.

It wasn't just dark; it was a chilling atmosphere that made one's chest feel tight and one's spine feel stiff.

"This world we've connected to has a creepy vibe..."

"Indeed! Even the fog has a bluish-white tinge, like it just emerged from a grave..."

"I wonder which realm my husband is leading this time..."

"Do you think... it might be a place teeming with evil spirits and haunted by ghosts?"

Swah——

As soon as Qiao Jingjing finished speaking, the other girls held their breath, their eyes met, their faces stiffened, and their brows and eyes tightened slightly.

Just as everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn, the scene in the mirror suddenly shifted—

Dim light spilled, and a chill seeped in...
