This sudden situation caught Xia Ruofei off guard.
Over the years, Xia Ruofei had already gotten used to all kinds of sudden situations. However, it was mainly when he barged into the intersecting spatial zones. The chaotic spatial laws would cause instant damage to his spirit body.
This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this.
Xia Ruofei felt that his spirit body was like snow in the face of intense sunlight. It was as if it was about to melt.
Could it be that his spirit body could not withstand the erosion of time and was about to collapse?
When this thought appeared in Xia Ruofei's mind, he felt a little sad, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
After all, he had been shuttling back and forth in such a small, lifeless space for so many years without any hope of escaping. Anyone with a slightly weaker will would have long gone crazy.
From the moment Xia Ruofei broke through the triple-layered space to the moment he felt his spirit body about to melt, everything happened in a flash.
Xia Ruofei only had time to have this thought before he felt a powerful suction force that caused his spirit body to involuntarily fly in a certain direction.
At this time, Xia Ruofei realized that the environment she was in had completely changed.
This place was full of vitality and rich in spiritual qi. All he could see was a lush greenery.
The scene in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It was familiar because this was the Archean Realm of the Ring-Tu space. Xia Ruofei had been here countless times.
As for the unfamiliar, it was because Xia Ruofei had been trapped in the ore space for too many years.
Before he was trapped, Xia Ruofei had only lived for a little more than twenty years. However, in the inner space of the ore, just the complex triple space stacked area alone could trap him for decades.
After a long time, Xia Ruofei felt a sense of unfamiliarity with everything that had happened before he was trapped.
I'm free just like that?
It felt like a lifetime had passed.
I was really caught off guard! This sudden happiness left Xia Ruofei completely dumbfounded. Even when his spirit body was pulled in a certain direction by the huge suction force, he did not resist at all.
He was completely unaware of the pain that felt like he was being roasted by the sun.
Only when the feeling of his spirit body floating disappeared and he felt his feet on solid ground did Xia Ruofei regain his senses.
He suddenly realized that his spirit body had returned to his physical body.
It seemed like the suction force came from his physical body.
Xia Ruofei revealed a look of disbelief. He even suspected that he had been trapped in the ore space for too long, resulting in such a realistic illusion.
It had been so many years. How could his physical body still be here? Even if his spirit body did not leave his physical body, his physical body should have long perished!
Xia Ruofei tried moving his fingers and then twisting his neck …
There was no problem!
If it were not for the fact that cultivators were very familiar with their physical bodies, Xia Ruofei would have even thought that he had 'taken over' someone else's body.
However, it was impossible for anyone else to appear in the Ring-Tu space.
Originally, there was no need to confirm it. However, this matter really exceeded his understanding. Therefore, Xia Ruofei felt that it was best to confirm it to prevent any misunderstandings.
Thus, he subconsciously waved his hand, and the invisible energy of the Spirit Map's space immediately gathered over, forming a smooth mirror in an instant — — This was something that was very difficult to do before he was trapped, but now, he could easily do it with just a thought. It could be seen how much progress he had made.
Xia Ruofei raised his head with some difficulty and looked at the mirror.
What appeared in front of him was his own appearance!
He was still in his twenties. He still looked the same as before he was trapped. There was not the slightest change.
Xia Ruofei was stunned. He looked at himself in the mirror and did not move for a long time.
This feeling was very complicated. There was surprise, excitement, and an indescribable feeling …
Xia Ruofei looked at himself in the mirror. There was an unerasable vicissitude in his eyes.
That's right! He had been trapped in the ore space for a thousand years. Such a long period of time would cause a person's temperament to change, especially when he had spent a thousand years in such a lifeless and hopeless environment.
Xia Ruofei did not expect that he would one day become a thousand-year-old demon …
After a long time, he waved his hand and dispersed the mirror formed by the invisible energy of the Ring-Tu space. He turned his head slightly and his gaze landed on the mysterious ore beside him.
A trace of fear appeared in Xia Ruofei's eyes.
He had been trapped for a thousand years. He was really afraid of this ore.
Xia Ruofei wanted to use his mental strength to examine it again, but he could not overcome the fear in his heart. In the end, he gave up. He used the invisible energy of the space to wrap up the ore and threw it aside.
After his spirit body returned to his physical body, Xia Ruofei quickly ran through the "Dao Formula" technique. Then, he used his mental strength to examine his body.
He did not find any problems. The technique was running smoothly. His body was still the body of a young man in his twenties. Everything was the same as before he was trapped.
How could this be? Xia Ruofei also had a look of disbelief.
After a thousand years, even if his spirit body was still in his physical body, his physical body should have been reduced to ashes. What's more, a physical body without a spirit body?
Could it be that the Ring-Tu space had such a function? It could prevent the physical body from decaying? Xia Ruofei first had such a thought.
But he quickly denied it.
The reason was very simple.
The so-called unity of spirit body and physical body was a state where the spirit body and physical body were compatible. If the spirit body left the physical body for a thousand years, the compatibility between the two would definitely drop to an extremely low point. Even if the physical body did not decay after a thousand years, it would be very difficult for the spirit body to return after leaving the physical body for such a long time.
Even if the spirit body managed to return to the physical body, the compatibility between the two would be very poor. It would take a long time to adapt to the perfect state of unity of spirit body and physical body.
According to the ancient records, even an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator would not dare to let the spirit body leave the physical body for too long. Otherwise, the problem of the unity of spirit body and physical body would be difficult to solve.
Of course, the spirit body of an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator was many times stronger than that of an Aurous Core Stage cultivator. Moreover, the physical body would also become very strong during the long process of cultivation. Coupled with the Out-of-Body Stage technique, it was enough to ensure that the spirit body of an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator would not have the problem of the unity of spirit body and physical body after leaving the physical body for one or two months.
However, Xia Ruofei had never heard of a spirit body that could be perfectly compatible with the physical body after leaving the physical body for a thousand years.
Xia Ruofei had already tried many times. After his spirit body returned to the physical body, it was really perfectly compatible. It was as if it had never left the physical body, but also as if it had really only left for an extremely short period of time …
Time!
Xia Ruofei suddenly thought of a concept.
Could it be that a thousand years was just his subjective feeling?
When he thought of his unbearable experience in the ore space for a long time, he felt that it was not very possible.
One had to know that his understanding of the rules of space was real. Moreover, he had taken the time to study so many ancient records and secret techniques from the inheritance jade talisman. These were all not fake.
Then, could it be a problem with the flow of time? Or, could it be that the rules of time in the ore space were simply wrong?
Xia Ruofei felt that this was more likely.
It was actually very simple to prove it.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei left the Ring-Tu space and returned to the outside world, which was the quiet room in Star Picking Building.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Ruofei would leave his cell phone in the outside world before entering the Ring-Tu space.
This was because the flow of time in the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm was different. If he brought his cell phone in, the time on his cell phone would be chaotic.
Of course, it was all based on the Internet now. As long as he came to the outside world and connected to the Internet, the time would naturally adjust.
However, Xia Ruofei had already formed a habit. Therefore, every time he entered the Ring-Tu space, he would leave his cell phone and watch in the outside world first.
In the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm, he had also placed a clock that was used for time keeping.
The moment Xia Ruofei returned to the quiet room, he reached out and picked up the cell phone that was placed beside the futon.
After glancing at the time displayed on the cell phone, Xia Ruofei was stunned …
The cell phone showed that it was still the day he entered the Ring-Tu space!
The year had not changed!
The date had not changed!
In fact, only a minute had passed …
This was also thanks to the fact that every time Xia Ruofei entered the space and left his cell phone in the outside world, he would habitually glance at the time displayed on his cell phone.
There was definitely no problem with his memory. As long as a cultivator remembered something, they would basically not forget it, even if they had subjectively experienced a thousand years of time.
In that case, did it mean that he had actually experienced a thousand years in the ore space, but time in the outside world had not passed at all?
Otherwise, there was no way to explain the problem of time.
Even in the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm where the mysterious ore was located, the flow of time in the outside world was two thousand times faster after the time array was superimposed. If time flowed at the same time, at least half a year would have passed in the outside world after a thousand years.
However, this was not the case!
On the day he entered the space, less than a minute had passed.
This little bit of time was probably consumed after he entered the space and before he began studying the ore.
After all, he was studying the ore in an environment where time flowed two thousand times faster.
A thousand-year dream?
This phrase appeared in Xia Ruofei's mind.
No matter what, after confirming this, Xia Ruofei's heart felt more at ease.
Although half a year was not too long, if he really entered seclusion in this chamber for half a year, the outside world would probably be in chaos.
There was no need to mention the Taoyuan Company in the secular world. Even if he was used to being a hands-off boss, it was a little too much for him to not appear for half a year as the boss!
Song Wei, Ling Qingxue, and Xia Ruofei's friends and relatives in the secular world would probably be very worried, thinking that he had gone missing.
Li Yifu, who was on Peach Blossom Island, knew that Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng had participated in the auction together, so he would be even more worried. After all, Xia Ruofei had offended someone. In order to avoid any accidents on the way back, Xia Ruofei had let Li Yifu leave first.
Li Yifu could not find the exact location of the Star Picking Sect, nor did he know what had happened after he left the auction. He would most likely think that Xia Ruofei had been ambushed on the way back.
This was because Luo Qingfeng would most likely loyally wait outside the chamber without leaving. It was impossible for him to inform Li Yifu.
If Luo Qingfeng went to the chamber because Xia Ruofei had been in seclusion for too long and was worried that something had happened to Xia Ruofei, he would only see the Spirit Map Scroll and not Xia Ruofei's figure. That would probably make him even more flustered.
Fortunately, time didn't seem to be passing at the same time, so these problems didn't exist.
In truth, when Xia Ruofei was deep inside the ore, these problems were small problems for him. He didn't have time to think about them at all. What he was most worried about was the damage to his body.
However, as time passed, Xia Ruofei felt that what should have happened had already happened, so he was too lazy to think about it.
At that time, he didn't think that the 1,000 years he had spent inside the ore would only be an instant in the outside world.
In an instant, 1,000 years felt like a lifetime had passed...
There was no problem with his body. This made Xia Ruofei let out a long sigh of relief.
Moreover, that strange ore allowed his spirit body to survive for 1,000 years. Not only was it not damaged at all, it had become even stronger after being injured again and again.
All in all, Xia Ruofei had profited greatly.
1,000 years of comprehension of the law of space was unimaginable.
He felt like his attainments in the law of space were even higher than Bai Qingqing's.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also spent his' business time 'studying the secret techniques and the theories of alchemy, medicine, and refining recorded in the classics. Apart from the fact that he could not verify them in practice, his expertise in these miscellaneous fields had been greatly improved, which would be of great benefit to his future development in the world of cultivation.
Xia Ruofei sat blankly in the quiet room. It took her a while to calm down her agitated emotions.
He had stayed inside the ore for too long. According to the lifespan of an ordinary person, he had stayed inside for more than a dozen lifetimes!
Therefore, after successfully breaking open the ore space, Xia Ruofei felt like he was dreaming, and it was an extremely long dream.
He sat there in a daze for a while and couldn't help but shout, "Qingfeng!"
Luo Qingfeng was waiting outside the door. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "Master, the Old Slave is here! What orders does Master have? "
All the unrelated people in Zhai Xing Lou had been cleared out. Even the area around Zhai Xing Lou was a restricted area, so Luo Qingfeng didn't need to worry about others hearing him.
Xia Ruofei asked, "How long have I been in closed door cultivation?"
Luo Qingfeng was confused by Xia Ruofei's question. He thought, "What's wrong with Master? And why does Master's voice sound so old? It's like he has cultivated for thousands of years... "
Although his heart was filled with questions, Luo Qingfeng still replied meticulously, "Replying to Master, you have been in the room... for less than a quarter of an hour..."
