Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 73: Three Conditions

All they could see was the portal in the void, beginning to collapse inch by inch.

Countless spiritual patterns and fragments of the void were wildly shaking and twisting.

A moment later, the shaking gradually subsided, and a massive black hole appeared in the void...

As time went on, this black hole also slowly closed up.

The sky remained blue as if nothing had happened.

But Qin Qing and the others knew that their way back was now gone.

The void portal, like a bridge, connected the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm with the Great Qian Martial Institute, linking these two independent spaces.

Once the void portal collapsed, these two independent spaces were completely disconnected!

"Can’t we go back?" Qin Qing looked up at the sky.

He sighed deeply.

"If we can’t go back, we can’t go back. It’s not so bad here. As long as we don’t get caught in a void current, we can keep on living. This secret realm isn’t small either; there are many places we haven’t explored yet. Perhaps there are other opportunities just waiting to be found," Gong Yanghe said.

Qin Qing set down the White Flood Dragon egg he had been carrying on his back and silently shook his head.

"Brother Qin Qing, are you missing your sister?" Ning Nianci asked.

Ning Nianci remembered that Brother Qin Qing had once said he had a sister who looked somewhat like her.

"Yes!" Qin Qing nodded, "I promised Xiaoshuang that I would take care of her, that I wouldn’t let her be bullied again..."

A hint of moisture welled up in the corners of Qin Qing’s eyes.

There were so many things he had yet to do, and his promises had not been fulfilled.

He had said he would protect his sister Xiaoshuang and wouldn’t let her get hurt by anyone!

He had told his sister that he would find their parents and reunite the family.

He had also promised himself that he would bring Second Uncle and Seventh Uncle back to Tianjue City, where he would rebuild a grand Qin Residence...

But now, if he couldn’t return, none of these things could be accomplished.

Naturally, there was also no way to see his dear sister again, nor his father and mother...

"Actually... Qin Qing, it’s not that there’s no hope of returning!" Gong Yanghe suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Qin Qing looked at Gong Yanghe.

"The Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm where we are now must be close to the space where the Great Qian Martial Institute is. The world where the Great Qian Martial Institute is, you probably know, is called Tian Nian Star."

"Tian Nian Star is an independent space. And the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm is near Tian Nian Star—after all, it’s the closest to the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"Now... the connection between Wind Spirit Valley and Tian Nian Star has been destroyed!"

"Although our Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm indeed has pits that drift into the chaotic void and get sucked into void currents and vortexes..."

"But the greatest likelihood is that it approaches the direction of Great Qian Martial Institute on Tian Nian Star!"

"Because... the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm itself is connected to the Great Qian Martial Institute. Even if the portal is destroyed, some residual pieces of the connecting rules will still exist!"

"I have read some books about secret realms before, and this is how they are recorded!"

"Many great Spiritual Pattern Masters have also made similar comments!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing couldn’t help but show a glimmer of hope.

"So, does that mean the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm will likely drift towards Tian Nian Star? And we can still return to Tian Nian Star?"

Hope sparkled in Qin Qing’s eyes.

As long as they could get back to Tian Nian Star, they could find a way to return to the Great Qian Dynasty.

But if the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm drifted deeper into the Endless Void, then the hope of returning to Tian Nian Star was almost entirely lost!

"Yes!"

Gong Yanghe nodded, "But there’s one more thing!"

"It’s not certain that we can return just because the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm collides with Tian Nian Star!"

"Even if two isolated spaces collide, it doesn’t necessarily form a spatial passage..."

"It’s also possible that the collision with the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm doesn’t affect the spatial stability of the Tian Nian Star at all, so the spatial rift wouldn’t appear, naturally, there would be no way to return to the Tian Nian Star!"

"Furthermore, even if a spatial passage were formed, such an irregular space passage would also be extremely dangerous. Once touched by the spatial rift, death is certain!"

Qin Qing took a deep breath.

He understood the rules Gong Yanghe was talking about.

"That is to say, to return intact to the Tian Nian Star, three conditions must be fulfilled.

First, the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm must be drifting in the direction of the Tian Nian Star.

Second, the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm must collide with the Tian Nian Star, and during the collision, a spatial rift connecting the two independent worlds must be created.

Third, we must also find a way to pass safely through the spatial rift!"

Qin Qing said.

"Exactly!" Gong Yanghe nodded, showing a wry smile.

These three conditions need to be satisfied simultaneously; the first condition is still somewhat hopeful.

But, the second and third conditions are almost entirely left to fate, with an extremely low probability.

"Don’t give up, even if the last thread of hope is extremely slim, don’t give up!"

Qin Qing comforted Ning Nianci and Gong Yanghe, but he was also comforting himself.

Now that there was nothing to be done, Qin Qing actually calmed down.

The only thing to do to leave this independent space of the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm was to wait, to wait for this isolated realm to collide with the Tian Nian Star...

"Nianci, let me check your injuries first!"

Qin Qing said, and began to examine Ning Nianci’s injuries.

Ning Nianci’s injuries were more severe than Qin Qing had anticipated; Shangguan Feixing had been unusually ruthless.

"Shangguan Feixing, that beast, I didn’t kill him when I had the chance!" Gong Yanghe, seeing the injuries on Ning Nianci’s body, was also grinding his teeth in hatred.

On Ning Nianci’s body, dozens of bones were broken, an arm was fractured, a leg bone was split, about six or seven ribs had been crushed in her chest, piercing into her organs—these injuries nearly cost Ning Nianci her life.

If not for the Ziwen Qinglian seeds from Qin Qing, Ning Nianci might not have held on any longer.

"I have medicinal materials for healing here, which can help mend broken bones and regenerate flesh and blood..."

Gong Yanghe took out a pile of medicinal materials for healing from the Spirit Ring.

Qin Qing helped Ning Nianci treat her wounds, reconnected the broken bones, snapped and removed the bones embedded in the organs, and cleared out all the shattered bones.

Then, he cleaned the wounds and dressed them.

Throughout the process, Ning Nianci continually bit down on her lips, her face streaming with cold sweat from the pain, yet she never let out a cry.

After dealing with Ning Nianci’s injuries, Qin Qing had her continue to hold the Ziwen Qinglian seed in her mouth and try to slowly operate the Cultivation Secret Technique to aid the healing of her injuries.

Ning Nianci’s wounds would take some time to heal and would also require various medicinal materials to assist in recovery.

This was completely different from Qin Qing’s own situation; his physical body was already extremely strong with an otherworldly healing ability, making these common healing materials ineffective for him.

Now that the Dragon Blood Physique had awakened, both the fortitude and the healing capability of his physical body had increased vastly.

Therefore, there was no need to intentionally treat his injuries...

So, after treating Ning Nianci’s wounds, Qin Qing simply concentrated and continued to cultivate the Emperor Dragon Secret Technique.

"Big brother, you’re really something," Gong Yanghe said, thoroughly impressed, "To be able to calm down and cultivate at a time like this... "

"If there’s nothing else, you should also cultivate with me. If the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm can’t collide with the Tian Nian Star, we can’t return! Worrying about it won’t help!" Qin Qing said.

"Hmm!"

Gong Yanghe nodded and began to cultivate alongside Qin Qing.
