Unlike when Moon entered the advanced cultivation room, the Eldest Prince was met with a holographic image of an old man, and his eyes couldn’t help but widen upon seeing this scene.

"This... this..." He was lost for words. Such technology was something he had only seen in that guild where he had paid a tremendous price just to set foot inside its cultivation room. Why would something similar appear here? Was he hallucinating?!

Although he had such thoughts, he quickly shook his head and denied the possibility. It can’t be. I’m in the pavilion owned by Darius. I’m confident I’m in my right state of mind. But what is this then?

The Eldest Prince felt increasing pressure each time he gazed at the old man, yet he could only stare silently, his eyes showing a mix of terror and curiosity.

"Oh, so this is the Eldest Prince visiting the master’s cultivation room! I haven’t had the chance to guide anyone yet since none were above the third realm. Well, you aren’t either, so I hope you survive," the holographic old man said with a friendly smile.

The Eldest Prince smiled modestly in response.

"Follow me, I will tell you what to do!" The holographic old man led the Eldest Prince deeper inside.

When the Eldest Prince followed him, they entered a long tunnel made of metal.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a small room? Why are we walking endlessly and still no end in sight?

He was flabbergasted seeing this scene, but although he had many doubts, he still did not utter a single word and kept obediently following. He somehow felt that he might have stumbled upon something that could change his life.

Could this be mind tricks?

The Eldest Prince shook his head, denying that something better than those guild facilities could exist here.

He did not know how long he had walked down the tunnel when he suddenly heard a strange sound.

This tunnel was strange. Based on the speed he was walking, he should have reached the end of the advanced cultivation room several times already. Why did it feel like this tunnel had no end? From the outside, this cultivation room looked like it was only a couple of meters wide!

"Do you know why this is called the Advanced Cultivation Room?" the old man suddenly asked.

"Could it be that this place is some kind of illusion? It appears we are walking straight, but in reality, we are on a winding or looping path? From the entrance until now, we’ve walked at least five hundred meters. The Advanced Cultivation Room’s diameter should only be about two meters!" the Eldest Prince said.

"No, we’ve actually been walking straight this entire time. You are only from small Dragon City, so you might not know much about the theories regarding the Space Element. The Space Element has a concept called: ’One step is a thousand feet, two steps are ten thousand meters, and three steps are boundless.’ The Advanced Cultivation Room is also called the Boundless Advanced Cultivation Room. Although it does not look majestic from the outside, it is extremely difficult to reach the end inside due to spatial distortion," the friendly old man explained.

"Space studies?" This was the Eldest Prince’s first time hearing such a term.

"Yes. The Advanced Cultivation Room was originally inspired by a great expert who cultivated the Earth Element and later the Space Element. That cultivator had great fame and power, but this version of the space is Master’s direct creation...and an improved one at that.

This place is filled with advanced spatial spiritual energy enchantments. Even now, there is not a single person who has deciphered it except my master, of course. That is why I am the only instructor; otherwise, you would not be able to navigate this space without getting lost. The Advanced Cultivation Room has many layers of space, and each layer contains a different density of energy.

Since you are at the peak Acupoint Qi Realm, you can only cultivate within the first and second layers. If you go further, you risk your body collapsing from the influx of energy," the friendly old man warned.

"This... how do I determine which space layer I am suited for?"

"That, you will understand once you experience it."

As they continued forward, a staircase appeared in front of them.

These stairs were extremely astonishing. The steps floated in midair without any visible support. The tunnel opened into a dark space, where the floating steps led toward a triangular platform.

"I can only lead you this far. You just need to follow the staircase up," the holographic old man said.

"Alright, thank you."

After the old man walked away and vanished from sight, the Eldest Prince cautiously stepped onto the floating stairs, testing whether they would collapse.

This reminded him of when he was tested in the Dragon City Academy, at the Valley of Death. The moment he stepped on unstable ground, he had to react instantly or fall into danger.

However, the floating steps were extremely stable. He did not know what force held them in place, but they remained firm even under his weight.

The Eldest Prince was relieved and continued upward. After reaching the triangular platform...about the size of a basketball court...he finally entered the first layer.

The energy of heaven and earth here was extremely dense. Cultivators in this place would circulate their heart method, and the speed of their cultivation would increase significantly.

He continued upward.

At first, everything was smooth, as though nothing was obstructing his path...

However, at some point, after stepping onto the fifth layer, he suddenly felt dizzy.

As he continued, his breathing became increasingly ragged.

"What is this? Why is my spiritual energy continuously disappearing?" the Eldest Prince quickly realized the problem.

His spiritual energy was disappearing.

He had not used any techniques, nor entered a cultivation state. So how could his spiritual energy be draining away?
