Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2103 - 2092: Spatial Passage

"So that's how it is."Upon hearing this explanation, Taoist Fire Dragon's refusal was indeed reasonable.

The master and disciple duo always considered themselves disciples of the Taixu Sect, especially Wang Chuangui, who hoped to return to the sect even on his deathbed.

Taoist Fire Dragon inherited his master's wish, so how could he change sects?

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Taoist Fire Dragon bowed and said, "Friend Ning, this time you came here for nothing; I feel quite guilty."

"Oh, Taoist Priest, you needn't say such things; truly, I'm the one who should feel guilty for making you travel so arduously."

At that moment, Xu Xiaoqing rushed in, "Brother-in-law, Little Four says she has made a discovery."

"Really?"

Ning Fan's eyes lit up with joy, not expecting Vivian to be so effective; it wasn't long before there was a discovery.

Noticing the doubt in Taoist Fire Dragon's eyes, Ning Fan smiled and said, "Taoist Priest, let's discuss this outside."

When he saw Vivian later, Ning Fan couldn't wait to ask, "What have you discovered?"

Vivian didn't answer, her eyes were only fixed on Taoist Fire Dragon.

"You talk amongst yourselves, I have some business to attend to," said Taoist Fire Dragon, intending to leave.

"Taoist Priest, don't leave."

Ning Fan stopped Taoist Fire Dragon, then spoke to Vivian, "There's nothing that can't be said; go ahead."

Vivian pointed at the cliff and said, "There's a spatial fluctuation below this sea of clouds."

Ning Fan said skeptically, "Is the entrance to the Earth Immortal Realm below?"

"It probably isn't."

Taoist Fire Dragon hesitated, "I've searched this entire five-mile area and found no other gateways."

"Please remain calm, Taoist Priest."

Given Ning Fan's cultivation, he still couldn't accurately sense spatial fluctuations, let alone Taoist Fire Dragon.

Seeming to realize this, Taoist Fire Dragon didn't insist any further, though his expression gained a trace of excitement.

"Let's head down and have a look."

With Vivian guiding them, Ning Fan and the others jumped off the cliff and reached a mountaintop.

The mountaintop was barren with no vegetation, a jumble of strange rocks piled chaotically.

Vivian said, "The spatial fluctuations are transmitted from above."

Looking upwards at the void, Ning Fan asked in astonishment, "Can we reach the Earth Immortal Realm through here?"

"Yes!"

Vivian nodded; the spatial fluctuation here was the most distinct, indicating it was definitely where the space portal was.

Taoist Fire Dragon said excitedly, "Friend Ning... is this real?"

"It should be real."

Ning Fan's heart pounded; he never imagined the passage he sought bitterly would be right under his nose.

Taoist Fire Dragon's master fell on this mountaintop years ago.

The space gateway above was likely an unstable space gate leading to the Earth Immortal Realm.

"I'll give it a try."

Just as Taoist Fire Dragon was about to rise, Ning Fan stopped him, "Taoist Priest, please reconsider."

The Earth Immortal Realm is no harmonious paradise; with Taoist Fire Dragon's half-step Heavenly Gang cultivation, he could hardly make waves in that world.

Moreover, nobody knows where this gateway leads to.

If it led to some perilous terrain influenced by the Five Elements, or the lair of demons, there'd be no return.

"I understand your concerns, Friend Ning."

Taoist Fire Dragon restrained his excitement and said slowly, "I'm alone and have no attachments. Being able to fulfill my wish today, I have no regrets in this life."

"Then I won't stop you, Taoist Priest."

Ning Fan sighed; Taoist Fire Dragon's steadfast belief of many decades was not something easily swayed.

"I shall go now."

Taoist Fire Dragon laughed heartily and then drifted away.

Two minutes later, watching the still suspended Taoist Fire Dragon, Ning Fan's face darkened as he asked, "Vivian, what's going on?"

Vivian said blandly, "The spatial gateway closed."

"Closed?"

Ning Fan asked in confusion, "But how did you sense it?"

"This gateway only opened a short while ago, its spatial fluctuation was so obvious that it only required a bit of sensing."

"What!"

Ning Fan was shocked, an implied thread linked the clues in his mind together.

"Can you sense when it opens specifically?"

"If we calculate using the Origin World's time, it should have been two or three months ago."

"I see."

Ning Fan's heart raced with excitement.

It was precisely when Ning Fan went to Ryan Town two or three months ago that he learned from the Wood Elves.

Ma Ling'er once mentioned the words "Mount Hua" during an argument with her clan.

Now, combining the secrets revealed by Taoist Fire Dragon, the whole situation was becoming clear.

Though the Exorcist Ma Family's way of discovering this passage remains unknown.

If there are no surprises, Ma Ling'er likely entered the Earth Immortal Realm from here.

"How did this happen, missing it by a step."

While Ning Fan was musing over what went wrong, Taoist Fire Dragon stood dazed in midair, his once rosy complexion now ashen, "Am I doomed to fail in fulfilling my master's last wish?"

Ning Fan shouted, "Taoist Priest, it's not as you imagine."

Taoist Fire Dragon's dim eyes brightened momentarily, then he smiled bitterly, "Friend Ning, you must be laughing."

"This passage can indeed lead to the Earth Immortal Realm."

Ning Fan then explained everything about the space gate.

"Friend Ning, you mean this passage only opens at specific times?"

"Yes."

"When will the next opening be?"

"Taoist Priest, do you remember how long your master stayed in the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Vivian had previously said that entering different temporal spaces via unstable space gates would result in spatial repulsion.

Depending on the strength of the time-space, the repulsion varies.

In general, the weaker one's power, the greater the repulsion they face.

Under the influence of causal disruptions in the different temporal spaces, these time-space trespassers are expelled when the space gate opens again by various coincidences.

Simply put, you return the way you came.

Wang Chuangui returned to Earth only at the True Origin Realm level.

Such cultivation is insignificant in the Earth Immortal Realm and being repelled out is entirely expected.

Taoist Fire Dragon fell into thought before firmly saying, "Fifteen years."

"Fifteen years, huh!"

Ning Fan smiled wryly; even though they discovered this passage, with such a lengthy opening cycle, he wasn't sure if he could wait.

Taoist Fire Dragon's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Friend Ning, are you saying this passage will open again in fifteen years?"

"At most only fifteen years."

Taoist Fire Dragon said incredulously, "Really?"

"I swear by my honor."

On this point, Ning Fan was absolutely sure.

Based on Wang Chuangui's return to Earth years ago, until its recent occurrence.

This number of years roughly aligns with a fifteen-year cycle.

"Why doesn't the Ma family station someone here, seeing that they know this secret?"

Looking at the mountaintop resembling a natural stronghold, Ning Fan instantly understood the Ma family's intent.
