Seeing that she had overthought things, Zuo Qingya rolled her eyes.
"What are you afraid of? I just want to see your spiritual root."
Zuo Qingya rolled her eyes again. "You could have just said so earlier. Why did you freeze me like that? How was I supposed to know what you were going to do? I thought I was going to die."
"??? Okay, it's my fault, alright?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Hmm...that's more like it, but if you want to see a spiritual root, why not just test it? Why do you need to use your hands?"
"??? That's because I didn't have a spirit-testing orb, so I could only use my hand."
"If you don't have it, just say so. I have it here."
Tan Xianglong raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "I didn't expect you to have this either."
"Uh??? Okay then." With that, Zuo Qingya took out a spirit-testing ball from her consciousness space and handed it to Tan Xianglong.
"No need to give it to me, you can test it yourself. I just want to take a look at your spiritual root."
"Alright then." Zuo Qingya placed her hand on the spirit-testing ball.
As always, Zuo Qingya's colorful black appeared on the spirit-testing sphere.
Tan Xianglong shook his head. "That's not right. Only those with the Heavenly Curtain Spiritual Root can enter this secret realm. How did you get in with your spiritual root?"
"Celestial Spiritual Root? What kind of spiritual root is that? I've never heard of it before."
“This is it.” As he spoke, the words “Sky Curtain” appeared on Tan Xianglong’s hand.
Zuo Qingya was speechless. "Is that all? I can do that with magic."
“That’s different. This is a spiritual root, a celestial spiritual root.”
"Alright, then tell me, what kind of spiritual root do I have?"
“Well, I’ve never seen this spiritual root of yours before. But that doesn’t make sense. You should have a Heavenly Curtain Spiritual Root to be able to enter this place. Could it be that the outer barrier isn’t working?” Tan Xianglong sensed it and found that the outer barrier was fine and the spiritual veins were still supplying it. So the problem must lie with this little girl.
Tan Xianglong looked Zuo Qingya up and down. "Little girl, I have a question for you."
"??? Go ahead and ask."
"Um, how did you get in here?"
"What's the problem? You just came in like that, otherwise, how did you get in?"
Tan Xianglong shook his head. "Do you know why I asked you that question?"
Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because there are conditions for entering here; only those with the Heavenly Curtain Spiritual Root can enter."
"The conditions are so harsh?"
Tan Xianglong shrugged. "There's nothing I can do about it. I am the Heavenly Spirit Root, and I need to find a successor, otherwise my lineage will have no one to carry on."
"Hmm... alright then, it'll be me. Getting in is pretty simple, I just wrapped myself in a cloud beast and floated in."
"Cloud Beast? What's that?"
"Of course it is." As she spoke, Zuo Qingya tried to take out the Cloud Beast from her consciousness space, but found nothing.
"??? Can I not enter the dream? The Cloud Beast is in my space, and I'm currently in a dream state, so I can't take anything."
"Hmm... alright then." With that, he waved his hand and vanished in front of Zuo Qingya.
Zuo Qingya opened her eyes groggily. "What happened to me? How did I fall asleep?" As she spoke, her consciousness gradually returned, and she remembered what happened in her dream. Zuo Qingya looked at the old man who had already opened his eyes.
He thought to himself, "He was quite handsome in my dream, but in reality he's just an old man."
Tan Xianglong's face darkened...
Tan Xianglong coughed and said, "Little girl, bring out the cloud beast you mentioned so we can take a look?"
[Cloud Beast, how did he know about Cloud Beast? Could it be that he had the same dream as me?]
"Hey, hey, hey... little girl, what are you thinking? I was preaching in your dreams."
“??? Okay then.” Zuo Qingya said, taking out the Cloud Beast from her consciousness space and handing it to the old man. “Here… this is it.”
"This is the Cloud Beast? You got in using it?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "That's right."
"Hmm... alright then, demonstrate again."
"Huh??? Why?"
"I just want to see how you managed to get in using this thing."
Zuo Qingya was speechless.
"You're really quite boring."
"You can watch it if you want."
Zuo Qingya took the cloud beast and draped it over her body, and soon her whole body was covered by the cloud beast.
Zuo Qingya relaxed her body and began to merge with the cloud beast, feeling light and airy.
Seeing this, Tan Xianglong nodded, sensing Zuo Qingya's current state, and said, "No wonder you were able to get in."
Is this okay?
"Hmm...that's fine."
“Okay.” Zuo Qingya put the cloud beast back into her consciousness space.
Tan Xianglong sighed, "Sigh... I thought we'd found someone who could inherit our mantle, but I never expected you to come in like this."
"Okay, how much time do you have left?"
Tan Xianglong rolled his eyes. "Can't you talk properly, girl? Asking this right off the bat is no different from asking me when I'm going to die."
"Um...that's what I meant."
"Alright, you little girl, you really don't know how to talk. I have plenty of time."
"Alright then, but this place is hard to find. Are you sure you want to find a successor here?"
"Hard to find? Impossible. I remember setting up the palace outside the city, but it shouldn't be so hard to find, right?"
"Are you sure? But do you know where I came in from?"
From where?
"It came in from the seabed."
"seabed?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes, and it's quite far from the human base."
"How far is 'very far'?"
Zuo Qingya scratched her head. "I don't know either. I got lost the way. I was eaten by sharks and dragged by sea turtles, and then I ended up here. I'm still confused."
"??? Okay then."
Tan Xianglong thought for a moment and said, "Little girl, do you have a spatial dimension?"
Zuo Qingya nodded. "I do have a space, so what?"
"Hehe... How about you claim this Heavenly Canopy Secret Realm as your own?"
"??? Why are you at the point of recognizing a master? I don't want to help you find a successor."
"What are you thinking, little girl? How could I possibly ask you to find a successor for me? Once you recognize the Heavenly Curtain Secret Realm as your master, it will be yours. Then, you can put the Heavenly Curtain Secret Realm in your space. When you have time, just find a crowded place for me to drop it off, and that's it. You won't need to bother finding a successor. There will definitely be many people trying to enter the Heavenly Curtain Secret Realm. I can have as many successors as I want then."
Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and said, "This seems like a good idea, let's do it this way."
"But how do I acknowledge my master?"
"This is very simple. Go out, take down the mirror on the wall, and just sign the contract." He said, looking at Zuo Qingya.
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Hmm... okay, then I'll go out."
