Chapter 362 "Null Value"
Yu Sheng is not a member of Taixu Lingshu, but he can still hear the heavy emotion in the words of Qianji Zhenren at this moment - it is a complex emotion that is difficult to describe simply in words, and cannot be simply said to be sentimental or gratified.
"We Taixu people attach great importance to inheritance and 'roots'," Yuan Ling Zhenren also sighed softly, turned to talk to Sheng, "but we are different from the Terra Archaeological Association, which is also obsessed with tracing our roots. The Terran tribes had a brief period of refuge in the 'Boundless Sea' during the annihilation catastrophe. During that brief respite, the Terran sages known as 'Fire Bearers' left behind a large amount of heritage and historical records. Those heritages are said to be sealed in the 'Lost Deep Lake', so the Terran Archaeological Association knows clearly what their goal is. They only need to find the Lost Deep Lake...but we are different.
"The Grand Void Spiritual Axis was 'dug' out by the Ancient Holy Spirit from the ashes of the catastrophe. More than 99% of the civilizations in this universe were dug out in this way. For us who have completely turned into ashes, we have as much as the Ancient Holy Spirit dug out back then. There is no chance to understand the remaining things. Even if we search the entire universe, there will be no corner that still records the things about the Grand Void Spiritual Axis and the old world.
"My senior brother, Xuan Che's uncle, also had an unrealistic idea at the beginning. He wanted to find traces of the old world, but after so many years, he found nothing..."
"So now you should know why I hurried here," said Master Qianji, "We may have really found some 'dregs' that fell here from the old world this time."
As he spoke, he raised his head and bowed deeply to Yu Sheng again, this time even more solemn than before.
"Mr. Yu, I would like to go to that desert exotic land with you again. Is that possible?"
"That's no problem," Yu Sheng nodded without hesitation, "but the situation in that foreign land is a bit special..."
"special?"
The one who answered was Master Yuan Ling: "Every time the foreign land is opened, it changes, and most of the time it is a meaningless chaotic scene, so even if you go there now, it will be difficult to see the same desert again."
There was obvious disappointment on Master Qianji's face.
But Yu Sheng suddenly spoke up again: "I can give it a try. When I left, I memorized the 'coordinates' of that desert. Maybe I can 'open the door' and go back there directly."
"It's actually possible to do this?" Master Qianji's eyes lit up instantly (something in the pile of mechanical devices in his head really lit up), "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir!"
Yu Sheng did not refuse and directly reached his hand into the air. At the same time, he calmed himself down and began to assign values to the "gate" according to the usual process.
An illusory door quickly took shape in his hands.
Qianji, Yuanling and Xuanche all focused their eyes on the translucent door at the same time. Even the monks from Qianfeng Lingshan who were busy surrounding the Giant God Soldiers not far away subconsciously quieted down and watched Yu Sheng's next move.
Yu Sheng took a deep breath, turned the door handle, and slowly opened the door.
However, at this moment, a feeling of "frustration" that he had never felt before suddenly spread from the bottom of his heart, and then he felt his hands were empty.
The door, which had just opened a narrow crack, disappeared silently.
Hu Li, who was standing by, suddenly widened his eyes and cried out in surprise, "My benefactor! How come the door is gone..."
Yu Sheng himself was also confused for a moment, then he reached up into the air again in disbelief. This time he was more focused and cautious than before.
As a result, the same thing happened again: the illusory door disappeared silently the moment it opened a crack.
Irene stared at the scene in a daze: "...What's going on? Your ability is not working anymore?"
Yu Sheng didn't say anything for a while, just frowned and thought, and after several seconds he broke the silence thoughtfully: "...It's a null value."
Master Qianji didn't know much about Sheng's abilities, but he could see that this was not normal, so he asked hurriedly, "What does null value mean?"
"It means the destination doesn't exist," Yu Sheng looked at his right hand, "This is weird..."
"The destination doesn't exist? Isn't this even more bizarre than the first time I failed to open the door into the Black Forest?!" Irene blinked, and she immediately thought of the last time Yu Sheng "failed" to open the door. "The first time I entered the Black Forest, I failed to open the door because of 'dream drifting'... But drifting shouldn't mean that the 'destination doesn't exist', right?"
"But we did leave through the desert," Hu Li said, his two big ears trembling in the air, "and Xuan Che could also return to the foreign land through the 'door' before that."
"...When he returned to the foreign land through the gate, I was the one who maintained the passage on the desert side, so this 'operation' is most likely one-way," Yu Sheng said while thinking quickly, "Perhaps the door opening operation can only be performed inside that foreign land?"
Irene probably understood what Yu Sheng meant. She scratched her hair and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Of course, we have to go to Taiyou again and enter it through the normal route," Yu Sheng said without hesitation, his thinking was simple and direct, "First, we have to confirm whether the foreign land still exists, and then we have to find a way to understand its rules."
Upon hearing this, Master Qianji immediately stepped forward and said, "I would like to go with you all - please ask Master Yuanling to help us prepare a fairy boat..."
"Oh, that's not necessary," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "I mean there's no need for the Immortal Boat - I can still open the door to the Taiyou Mine directly."
As he spoke, he casually picked at the air next to him, and a door took shape and opened almost instantly.
Not far away across from the door was Su Yun, who turned her head in a daze - she was leading people to stand guard at the entrance of the mine at that time.
"Master?" Su Yun was stunned for less than a second before running over quickly. Although she didn't know why a door suddenly appeared in front of her, she obviously saw her master standing opposite the door, as well as another important figure at the scene, so she quickly saluted through the door, "Junior Su Yun greets Master Qianji... and Senior Brother, Mr. Yu... what are you doing?"
Yuan Ling Zhenren didn't expect Yu Sheng to open the door suddenly, but he quickly reacted and walked up to Su Yun and said, "How is the 'entrance'? Is there any change?"
Su Yun nodded and replied: "Nothing has changed. We just checked at the critical point and it's still the same."
"Yes," Master Yuan Ling nodded, "Mr. Yu and his men are going to check out the foreign land below the mine, and Master Qian Ji is also going to go there - you don't have to be nervous, just lead the others to continue guarding the surroundings."
"yes!"
"Then let's go straight over now," Yu Sheng turned around and looked at the people around him, "You guys go in first, and I'll go last."
Xuan Che was the first to walk through the gate upon hearing this, followed by Luna and Hu Li. When Master Qianji arrived at the gate, he paused for a moment, raised his head and looked at the illusory door in Yu Sheng's hand in confusion, with a bunch of mechanical devices in his head creaking and turning: "...What's the principle behind this?"
Yu Sheng feels like he has heard this sentence a lot recently...
Just as everyone passed through the gate and Yu Sheng was about to take Irene through, Yuan Ling Zhenren suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."
Yu Sheng immediately stopped and turned around: "Ah, you want to go too?"
"I'm not like Qianji who can transform into hundreds of thousands of forms and go wherever he wants." Yuan Ling Zhenren stroked his beard and took out an ancient small mirror from his arms. "You take my Lingxi mirror and let Qianji carry it. I'll borrow his power and see what the situation is like in that foreign land."
"good."
Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, took the "Lingxi Mirror" handed to him by Yuan Ling Zhenren, and then stepped through the door.
The next second, he arrived above Taiyou, in front of the mine ramp that was the entrance to the alien land.
Everyone began to prepare to enter the foreign land.
Xuan Che was explaining something to Su Yun who was not far away. The latter handed some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting pills that she had made to Xuan Che. Luna was checking the condition of her blade and disassembling and reassembling her arm joints. Hu Li took out a sesame cake from his tail and was eating it quickly with both hands.

Master Qianji was still looking around in amazement, and then he looked back at the direction he had just come from, while checking the many parameters recorded by the mechanism in his body: "Incredible... Really incredible, it seems like I just stepped through a door, and there is no sign of any spatial movement..."
Yu Sheng came before Master Qianji and handed the Lingxi Mirror to him: "Master Yuanling asked you to help hold this."
"...I knew that he must be curious about the situation in that foreign land." Master Qianji was not surprised at all. He took the quaint little mirror with a smile and put it aside. The mirror floated beside him.
Then he raised his hand and patted the transparent crystal shell on his chest a few times, directly removing the shell.
Yu Sheng was astonished to see that the other party directly grabbed the iron-gray heart in his chest that was surrounded by many gears and shafts, pulled it out, and then placed it in front of his eyes to carefully adjust the many delicate structures on the back of the heart.
Qianji Zhenren's expression was calm, as if this was a daily operation, but Yu Sheng felt a chill in his chest, and subconsciously associated some unpleasant memories, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Open the heart orifice," said Qianji Zhenren without raising his head. "This heart of mine was refined using a special technique. It has some special functions that can be used to explore various strange and unusual places. This heart has nine orifices, seven of which are used daily. The other two orifices can be opened manually to play the role of transforming the spirit into the virtual and communicating the virtual and the real."
He paused for a moment, then looked up at Yu Sheng, noticing a blank look on his face. He then explained, "Oh, it's similar to the umbilical cord technology of the Borderland Special Service—but it's not as versatile as the umbilical cord, and can't be used on people with lower cultivation levels."
"Umbilical cord?"
"That's right," Master Qianji laughed, and stuffed the adjusted heart back into his chest. "The foreign land has no communication with the outside world, and my body is just one of many incarnations. If I don't make some preparations, my body will become a pile of scrap metal the moment I enter the foreign land. Yuan Ling asked me to help him carry the Lingxi mirror so that he could use my 'heart'..."
Yu Sheng finally realized: "Oh, I understand this, it's just to take advantage of your traffic."
“…This statement is very clever.”
