Chapter 107 The Art of Asking Heaven

With Ye Tanji protecting her, Xi'er didn't even look back before resolutely plunging into the huge gray-white vortex.

This spatial rift is unlike any other before.

When Xi'er got close to it, she felt its rejection of her.

No, it doesn't just reject her, it rejects everything that comes near it.

Xi'er tried throwing a stone, and sure enough, when the stone got close to the vortex, it was bounced back by an invisible force.

Without being able to get close, there is no opportunity to cast the Space Repair Seal.

Xi'er was extremely anxious at this moment, knowing that countless insectoids would attack her from behind.

Although Ye Tanji and his two servants were highly skilled, even a tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves, let alone the existence here that was even more powerful than the Insect King.

Although Xi'er was unaware of the existence of the Insect King, the ability to destroy a city in such a short time was definitely not something that a few Insect Kings could accomplish.

She had to race against time and couldn't waste a single moment.

She took a deep breath and kept telling herself, "Calm down, stay calm, don't panic!"

Then, she recalled the power of the laws of time that she had comprehended in the Four Seasons Fan Painting.

The enormous vortex before us was created by the power of the laws of space, but space and time have always been complementary.

Wherever there is space, there is time.

For example, a storage ring can keep food fresh, making it seem as if time stands still inside.

However, over time, even preserved items can dry out or rot.

To put it simply, time in that time only flows at a slower pace; it doesn't actually cease to exist.

Right now, if she wants to get closer to this spatial rift, she can only try to slow down the flow of time in the places she passes through.

In this way, the repulsive force of the spatial rift on her will be infinitely increased, and her power will be weakened.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and focused her mind to capture the power of the laws of time around her.

The five senses were magnified infinitely, and the laws representing time were transformed into seemingly chaotic lines.

These lines twist and turn wildly, carrying away time bit by bit.

Xi'er reached out and grasped the lines, pulling and dragging them to both sides, clearing a clean passage for herself with very few lines.

Each line represents the flow of time.

When only a few lines remained in her vision, the flow of time slowed down, and the repulsive force generated by the rapidly rotating spatial gale also weakened.

Xi'er finally approached the gray-white vortex step by step. She formed hand seals and cast a space repair spell.

This vortex was simply too enormous. Fortunately, she had just broken through to the second level of the Sky-Breaking Realm; otherwise, with her previous strength, she would have been powerless to repair such a massive spatial rift.

No, the vortex in front of us can no longer be considered a spatial rift; it is an entire spatial barrier that has been cut away.

As a continuous stream of magical energy flowed into her, Xi'er felt an unprecedented strain.

If the previous space repairs were like patching up a hole, then...

The current lack of such spatial barriers is like a large hole in the roof; it's extremely difficult to repair.

Xi'er concentrated her energy and tried her best to stay focused.

Then she began to continuously output her magical energy so that the healing spell could continue uninterrupted.

Xi'er felt as if a long time had passed before the large hole was finally patched up with a two-inch-wide band.

Her magical energy was being depleted very quickly. If this continued, she felt that even if she drained herself completely, she wouldn't be able to repair even half of it.

What should she do? What should she do?

He had no shortage of top-grade spirit stones, but there was a limit to the number of top-grade spirit stones he could absorb in a short period of time. Excessive absorption would cause his meridians to burst.

Calm down, calm down, don't panic! There will definitely be a way!

She took a deep breath, and then another, to keep herself from panicking and losing her composure.

She even deliberately blocked out the sounds, preventing herself from hearing the battle between Ye Tanji and the Zerg.

She remembered the special favor Heaven had given her when she broke through to the next level.

She helped Ye Tanji fight against the insectoids, and the Heavenly Dao of this world recognized her achievements, which is why it gave her special treatment when she broke through.

So, can Heaven lend her its witch spirit power at this moment?

She remembered an ancient secret technique of the Holy Witch Clan that her mother had once taught her—the Art of Asking the Heavens.

The Art of Asking the Heavens is a secret technique that only the holy maidens of the Holy Witch Clan can learn. It is a forbidden technique that involves sacrificing one's lifespan to communicate with heaven and earth and borrow power from the heavens.

She never used the Heavenly Inquiry Technique after learning it.

Her mother had repeatedly warned her that the Heavenly Inquiry Technique should not be used lightly, because once it is used, it will backfire on her unless she gains the approval of Heaven and Earth.

At best, one's cultivation will regress; at worst, one's meridians will be severed, turning one into a cripple.

The moment of life and death has arrived. If she fails to repair the missing spatial barrier, more insects will invade this realm.

At that time, countless lives will be lost, and even more cities will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Xi'er resolutely formed hand seals and released the Heavenly Questioning Technique.

She raised her hands high, looked up at the sky, and said in a tearful voice, "I offer my own lifespan of a hundred years as a sacrifice to Heaven."

"Heavens above, can you lend me your power to repair this spatial barrier, repel the insectoid invasion, and save billions of lives in this world?"

Fortunately, Xi'er is only seventeen years old this year, and she has just broken through to the Breaking Heaven Realm, enjoying the six thousand years of lifespan bestowed by heaven and earth.

Sacrificing a hundred years of her lifespan is only one-sixtieth, which has little impact on her.

Judging from his appearance, he's only a year older.

As soon as the Heavenly Inquiry Technique was unleashed, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds rolled in. The sheer scale of the attack startled Ye Tanji, who was fighting the Insect King.

He looked up at the sky and saw wisps of transparent spiritual energy descending from the dark sky, disappearing into Xi'er's body.

What on earth did this girl do to trigger such a celestial phenomenon?

At the same time, Xi'er felt as if she were bathed in the warm spring sun, and her body, which was almost drained, was infused with new witch spirit power.

It is important to know that witch spirit power is completely different from ordinary spirit power. The spirit power absorbed in normal times needs to be transformed into witch spirit power through special holy witch clan techniques.

But at this moment, what her body was absorbing was pure witch spirit power!

Xi'er understood that her Heavenly Inquiry Technique had successfully communicated with the Heavenly Dao of this world, and she had successfully borrowed power from Heaven.
