couldn't message you all on your personal account but I do appreciate all of you a lot.

As they disappeared everything returned back to normal in an instant, it was like the blinding light and swirling whirlpool was never there.

😁😀😁

Jiang could see nothing but darkness as he was sent into the swirling whirlpool, even the little eunuch's location was undetermined but Jiang could hear his screams, the little eunuch sounded really terrified, they kept spinning around and all they could see was darkness with a tiny white spot at the front of them, it was so tiny that it was almost unnoticeable.

Jiang thought that was their passage way out of the spinning whirlpool but no matter how forward they were pushed by the pressure from the whirlpool they never seemed to get close to that tiny white spot.

the little eunuch kept screaming for his life, he didn't realize that it wasn't the empress elect duty to save him at all, it wasn't even his place to ask the empress elect to save him.

" Jiang assured the little eunuch but the little guy couldn't hear a thing since his loud screams covered every other sound .

To Jiang every moment now was important to him and he felt something special about this place so he decided to close his eyes and cultivate his magic despite the fact that it was a bit troublesome since he kept spinning in cycles.

Jiang shut everything out including the screams coming from the little eunuch, he knew they were safe here and there was no way they were going to lose their lives as they passed through the gateway leading them from the imperial palace to the main palace so he was at ease.

As Jiang closed his eyes and settled his mind he could feel his space ring tremble like it was excited, not so long ago when Jiang strength increased he had discovered something peculiar about the space ring.

Jiang discovered that in the space ring time flowed differently, a day outside was equivalent to fifty days inside the space ring and now the space ring time ability seems to be evolving again.

Jiang was super excited about this because this was one of the key things he planned on using in increasing his strength as quickly as possible before the competition starts, if he cultivated in his space ring then it will save him a lot of effort.

Jiang settled his mind again and tried to perceive his air element so as to increase his mana in his core, mana was important to cultivators because not only do they use it to defend or attack, it was also used to breakthrough levels.

Cultivators saved mana in their core for two reasons.

A cultivators core region is divided into two halves, each half serves it's own purpose, In the first core half mana was stored to be use to control magic while the second core half mana was stored to breakthrough levels, it was easier to store mana in the first half than the second half but once the mana in the second half was full the cultivator could breakthrough levels and then start saving mana all over again for the same reason, it was an endless cycle and the higher once strength is the more difficult it is to accumulate mana but to cultivators this was a bridge they had to cross.

Jiang was trying to accumulate air element to save mana in his second core half like he have been doing anytime he had time to cultivate, it was at this moment Jiang felt something other than air element in his present environment, it was very faint but with his space ring help it became clearer and clearer until it was too clear to ignore, it was the element of time and space.

To be able to sense both rare elements at the same time made Jiang want to jump for joy, he calmed his excited heart and tried hard to concentrate, this step was very important because time and space elements were very hard to cultivate and Jiang felt if he misused this opportunity he might never sense this two elements again.

Jiang had heard a story from some passersby in the woods he once resided in with his mother, he eavesdropped on their discussion about how some people had once perceived space element and lost it due to carelessness and no matter how they tried later to perceive the element again they couldn't and lived with bitter regret all their lives, As a result of hearing this story Jiang didn't want to end up like such people.

Jiang could finally feel the trench hold of space and time magic in this distorted space and he knew he had taken his first step in becoming a space and time elemental.

Jiang could feel it in his bones that whenever he breakthroughs and becomes a true space and time elementals his breakthrough will be truly astounding.

Jiang felt he could pause his cultivation for now and so he opened his eyes but once he did that he was met with a blinding light again and the once tiny white spot wasn't so tiny any more, he was then engulfed by the light coming from the tiny white spot.

Jiang's eyes stung him so he quickly shot his eyes and when he opened them once more he was at the peak of a mountain together with the still screaming little eunuch who had his eyes closed.

Jiang said and he watched as the little eunuch took a peak at his surrounding with an eye open while the other was still closed, Jiang smiled at that.

The little eunuch upon realising he was safe finally opened his eyes and took in his environment , his eyes immediately bulged out like it was going to fall off "" he exclaimed

Jiang who previously hadn't taken note of his environment finally did and he was as shocked as the little eunuch, the whole mountain, including the trees and birds that flew above it looked just too beautiful to the point it felt unreal, the whole mountain was splattered with patches of different colours, Jiang felt like he was viewing the rainbow but it wasn't in the sky but on this mountain.

Jiang could only see the mountains overview but he knew if he was to explore the insides further it will just be as beautiful.

As Jiang and the little eunuch were admiring the mountain from the peak something as fast as the speed of light approached them,Jiang didn't even have time to think of escaping before the person appeared before them.

"Welcome to the main palace esteemed guests from the Imperial palace, my name is Xu Guo and I will be your guide" he said with the must beautiful smile Jiang and the little eunuch had ever seen in their life.

With the way this Xu Guo introduced himself Jiang knew he was one of the royals in the main palace and not just a servant, to have a royal call him an esteemed guest made Jiang feel strange, if they knew he wasn't treated well at the imperial palace Jiang was sure that this Xu Guo treatment towards him will change drastically but what Jiang didn't know was that Xu Guo and his kind have since been ordered to treat everyone from the imperial palace irrespective of their status well because they were all regarded as the current ruling emperor's people.

"Where will you like me to take you esteemed guests" Xu Guo said, Jiang couldn't understand why Xu Guo even addressed the little eunuch as an esteemed guest too, Addressing him that way was still understandable since his status couldn't easily be identified but with the little eunuch wearing his eunuch's robe, his status was clear, Jiang decided not to dwell on it.

"We will like to go to the palace pavilion" Jiang said

"You mean the No difference Palace Pavilion" Xu Guo nodded in understanding and then the next thing Jiang knew was that he had started levitating in the air,Jiang was still wondering where he had heard that name from when he was suddenly taken away from the mountain peak, as he looked back, That rainbow coloured mountain had been left far behind them and whatever he was previously pondering over flew from his head as well, it was long forgotten.

This Xu Guo was an air elemental and Jiang felt this was a rare opportunity to pick up some things from him, he didn't dare ask the royal for pointers but chose to study his air magic that was as fast as the speed of light.

The space at the mountain peak that Jiang just departed from was once again occupied by a figure covered from head to toe with a black hooded robe, his face was also covered with a silver mask and the only thing on his body that wasn't hidden was his eyes, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, no magic could hide the color of his eyes, this person couldn't help but feel a certain someone have been making him act all sneaky and impulsive lately, he couldn't even understand why he was here tailing this someone like a stalker.

The black hooded figure with a silver mask didn't bother to stay for a split second on that rainbow coloured mountain before disappearing.

Xu Guo who had a medallion that vibrated when a guest came from the imperial palace didn't even feel his medallion vibrate upon the arrival of this guest.
