Ou Yangming suddenly opened his eyes and panted heavily.

He looked frightened after having survived the misfortune.

Although he managed to eliminate, with the purple light's help, the spiritual will that invaded his mind, there were so many climaxes throughout the process that it was frightening.

Without the purple light…

Ou Yangming shook his head as he dared not imagine.

He finally calmed down after a brief moment. Even though he previously had a similar life-or-death experience, regardless of the disadvantageous spot he was in and the adversity, he never lost hope.

Even when he exchanged blows with a Supreme Great Ancestor, he had an ultimate trick to escape.

Once he activated the Blood Flight Art in his waist sash, he could flee 5 kilometers away, and nobody could catch up to him.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming reached a dead-end during the mental power fight. In a spiritual fight, it was impossible for one to guard effectively, and one had nowhere to escape to.

While Ou Yangming emerged victorious by luck, he dared not be proud anymore after having gone through the fight.

Ever since Ou Yangming debuted, he fought Supreme Great Ancestors while he was only in Yin Grade, and he killed Yang Grade powerhouses. The achievements had made him arrogant, but from this point onward, he was not going to be conceited and overconfident anymore.

The spiritual fight earlier was dangerous, but it was also a sharp warning that woke him up.

When Ou Yangming looked at the dwarf, he realized that the man's head had already exploded, blood and brain paste mixed together, causing the ground to be in a mess.

The peculiar spiritual will did not belong to the dwarf.

Nevertheless, it was evident that the thing that attached its willpower on the dwarf's body was a mighty being.

Ou Yangming studied the dead body for some time and finally confirmed that it could no longer harm him.

The young fellow did not notice any movements when he looked around him, then he hesitated for a while before he sat down again. Following that, he entered the sea of consciousness.

His sea of consciousness had regained its normal state, but a clear crystal ball was floating quietly.

Ou Yangming was undecided at first, but he finally channeled his mental power to it.

Mental conception and mental power were invisible, but after the purple fire burnt just now, not only was the weird foreign willpower destroyed, but something was also left behind.

Ou Yangming had not seen anything like that, but he believed that the item was not threatening, or the purple fire would not have let it stay.

Eventually, his mental power came into contact with the crystal ball.

Next, a memory content was delivered to him like waves. It was then that Ou Yangming understood what secret was contained in the crystal ball.

It was a part of the dwarf's memory when he was alive, as well as a mysterious item's refining method.

Perhaps the dwarf's mental power was too weak, it was not wiped out by the purple fire. Despite that, his memory nearly disappeared fully after it was burned by the purple fire.

The only things that were left behind were some fragments and a fearsome eye.

It was worth noting that the eye was incredibly huge. Ou Yangming could not tell if the dwarf imagined it himself or if he saw it, but the image was enough to give one goosebumps.

When Ou Yangming saw the image, he immediately identified that the terrifying willpower came from the giant eye.

Since the willpower had already vanished, the image could not bother Ou Yangming.

After going through fragments of the dwarf's memory, Ou Yangming had a rough understanding of the dwarf's background.

The dwarf was a thief—the head of a great Yang Grade bandit group. He encountered the huge eye in an abandoned land one day, and had been controlled by it ever since.

Due to the dwarf's lack of mental power, the eye was mostly asleep.

It was only several days ago when the huge eye sensed a certain item in Hu Yicheng's convoy, hence it ordered the dwarf to acquire it.

The dwarf was powerful, but he knew enough to know the kinds of people whom he should not offend.

Hu Yicheng was serving in the imperial court as an official, thus if he was killed, the imperial court would spare no effort in avenging his death. A mere Yang Grade martial artist was truly insignificant toward a dynasty.

That said, the dwarf dared not disobey the giant eye's order too, hence the series of events after that.

If Ou Yangming had not interrupted, they would have fulfilled their wish and run away to the end of the earth; Ou Yangming's appearance resulted in an entirely different ending.

In spite of that, Ou Yangming was not surprised and overjoyed because he found out about the dwarf's background, but because the crystal ball retained the item's name and a treasure that could be refined.

A Big Abdomen Ghost Spider!

It was an extremely rare spider. In terms of combat power alone, it was nothing out of the ordinary because it could be killed by a Yin Grade martial artist.

However, the spider's big abdomen was a precious treasure.

It was an ultimate treasure that could connect with space, and the crystal ball stored the method to refine the treasure into an interspatial bag.

Yes, an interspatial bag—something that had only appeared in legends.

Ou Yangming's heart pounded. Even though his mental conception was still immersed in his sea of consciousness, he could sense the drastic changes in his body.

'Ah, an interspatial bag!'

It was not an ordinary piece of equipment at all. Ou Yangming had smithed great magic tools, but they could not resist interspatial bags.

The young fellow curbed his thoughts after a long time.

He collected himself and checked the content in the crystal ball, which stored an interspatial bag's refining method, but it could not be read in one go.

Firstly, the person who refined it must have a preliminary understanding of interspatial power and the ability to sense it.

If one did not know what interspatial power was, one could not refine an interspatial item.

According to the record in the crystal ball, under normal circumstances, one could only sense interspatial power when one's cultivation base was at a certain level. That being said, for some unique and naturally gifted people, it was not odd that they could sense the power in advance.

It was just like how some people were born with gifts that were regarded by ordinary people as something unbelievable. For instance, extraordinary memory, natural divine power, and so on. As such, having a natural affinity with interspatial power seemed acceptable.

The question was—was Ou Yangming a suitable candidate?

Ou Yangming was hesitant when he opened his eyes slowly.

The crystal ball held a detailed record. If he could grasp the method, along with a Big Abdomen Ghost Spider's dead body, if he obtained other materials that were related to space, he could refine an interspatial bag.

Needless to say, if he was not gifted with the talent, the secret technique would be useless to him.

Ou Yangming stood up after some thought, then he searched the place to make sure that it was a safe environment. Subsequently, he gritted his teeth and entered the sea of consciousness with his mental conception.

He wanted to test his ability to sense space.

Nonetheless, there was a certain risk if he did according to the record in the crystal ball.

Perhaps Ou Yangming would have given up if it was something else, but how many people could resist the temptation of an interspatial bag?

Ou Yangming's mental power gathered between his eyebrows. Similar to when he was at Elder Universe's residence, his mental power grew stronger, and they slowly overflowed out of his body.

The young fellow's cultivation base was much greater than before. In particular, ever since he placed the Runes Formation in his sea of consciousness, his mental power slowly circulated and became purer without him knowing.

At the same time, Ou Yangming gained smoother control over his mental power, to the extent that he could command it with ease as he wished.

While streams of mental power flowed out from his body, they did not try to merge with nature's power.

Ou Yangming was adept in the Military Fire, and the purple light carried an endless mystery. The moment he released the fire's power, he could summon endless heavenly fire, which would kill even a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was not pursuing power at the moment, but an exceptionally mystifying feeling that was related to space.

Space, space, space…

The same word lingered in Ou Yangming's head.

A simple explanation could be found in the crystal ball, but it was up to him to sense space.

The young fellow would succeed if he was meant to succeed, but if he failed to do so, he would not accomplish it even if he gave up his life.

As for the way to sense space, it would be entirely up to an opportunity.

However, Ou Yangming cursed to himself because he could not find his opportunity.

"Woosh…"

Perhaps because he was too anxious, a flame suddenly appeared in front of him. It was a result of being anxious, causing his mental power, which was released, to resonate with nature's fire power.

Ou Yangming trembled a little and quickly cut off the mental power.

This was the risk of attempting it—if he could not sense interspatial power for a long time but kept releasing mental power, he would risk losing control over the power.

If he was careless, he might even suffer a backlash, and his loss would outweigh his gain.

Even so, Ou Yangming was not afraid. After having failed once, he became calmer instead.

The young fellow slowly became steadier, whereas his aura gradually disappeared as though he became one with nature.

It was the integration of Heaven and man.

It was the thoroughly meticulous state.

For some reason, Ou Yangming unconsciously entered both states for the first time.

The world around him underwent an enormous change like never before.

Although it was still the world that he was familiar with, the world had more detailed divisions.

He seemed to be wearing microscopic glasses as he watched the world through another odd perspective.
