500 Chapter 500 Opening The Crack
Chapter 500 Opening The Crack
Sitting in his office, Lu Yu took out a purple crystal from his pocket watch.
The entire crystal was clear, without a trace of impurities, looking pure and clean.
“The usage of this crystal is simple. Inject energy into it, and when the energy overflows, it will cause an explosion. After exploding, a crack will be left behind in space. Through the crack, we can contact our original world.”
!!
As Lu Yu spoke, he raised the crystal and prepared to inject energy into it.
The most common type of energy was the energy contained in a cultivator’s body. Some people called it spiritual power, but it was just a substance that strengthened the human body.
Other than that, there was also elemental energy, such as fire, water, light, and so on.
The characteristics of these energies were self-explanatory. It was used to release elemental-infused skills. The more elemental energy a person had, the more effective the elemental skill would be.
Lu Yu chose the fire element and poured it into the crystal.
At this moment, Han Xuefei raised her hand and said, “Let me make this crystal float a little higher.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly and spread his fingers, letting the crystal lie quietly in his palm.
Then, the crystal floated into the air under the effect of Han Xuefei’s telekinesis.
Lu Yu opened his right hand and aimed his palm at the crystal.
A powerful surge of fire elemental energy began to flow into the crystal.
The purple crystal’s temperature quickly rose, and it trembled violently as it was fixed in the air.
Han Xuefei felt the high temperature and couldn’t help but gulp. This temperature was shocking, and no fire elementalist she had fought before could create energy at such a high temperature!
With the injection of energy, the crystal began to tremble more intensely.
The next moment, there was a loud bang. The crystal exploded, and countless crystal fragments scattered in all directions.
But surprisingly, these fragments scattered slowly, as if in slow motion.
After the explosion, the center of the crystal glowed a gorgeous color.
A crack then appeared like a bolt of lightning. It then opened up on both sides, revealing a gap in the shape of a willow leaf. When one looked at the gap, all one could see was darkness.
The shards of crystal slowly fell, and the room that had been well-lit dimmed.
Everyone raised their heads slightly and looked at the crack in the sky, surprised by what they saw.
“Is this the spatial rift? Can we really contact our original world through this?” Su Qing’s eyes widened in curiosity, and she excitedly looked at the crack. It was the first time she had seen such a strange phenomenon.
Although they had seen the various spatial cracks in Jiang Lintian’s bedroom, it was their first time seeing the crack’s formation process.
“It’s so beautiful. I didn’t expect the crack forming to be such a beautiful scene.” Yun Zirou exclaimed.
Wang Meng tiptoed and wanted to reach out to touch the crack, but he was interrupted by Xu Yuan.
“Don’t touch it. What if there’s danger?”
Wang Meng retracted his hand and said unwillingly, “What danger can there be?”
Xu Yuan picked up a piece of paper on the table and threw it at the crack. However, he realized that it returned safe and sound after the paper entered the crack.
It feels like a small portal, but it can’t transport anything. It can only send signals.
Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Why don’t we try to see if there’s a signal?”
Lu Yu took out his phone and then shook his head. “No, there’s still no signal.”
“Then, do you want to try opening another one?” Xu Yuan asked. He felt that one crack might be too few.
“Let’s try again.” Lu Yu said as he reached for another crystal.
“I thought you only had ten?” Jiang Ning asked hurriedly. “Do we even have a chance to try and make more mistakes?”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment. He also knew that ten crystals weren’t a lot, and it wasn’t wise to keep trying and making mistakes.
Moreover, the cracks created by the crystals would disappear over time. He needed an endless supply of crystals to maintain communication with the outside world.
If he really got their location wrong, the time he could communicate with the outside world would be significantly reduced.
“Let’s try one more. We’ll go to where we were teleported if it doesn’t work.”
Lu Yu took out a crystal. He was unsure if this place could connect to the upper house, but he had to try it; spending one more crystal wouldn’t hurt.
“This time, create a crack on my right side.”
Lu Yu took out the crystal and placed it in his right hand.
Under Han Xuefei’s control, the crystal floated above Lu Yu.
After that, Lu Yu injected energy into the crystal just like before.
A steady stream of energy was injected into the crystal, creating a violent chain reaction.
Bang!
There was another explosion, and the crystal exploded, sending shards flying in all directions. The brilliant light was fleeting, leaving behind a crack.
When the crack opened, there was still endless darkness inside.
Lu Yu lowered his head to look at his phone again, only to find that there was still no signal.
“It can’t be that this place isn’t connected to the upper house, right?”
Everyone was getting a little nervous as they had already used up two crystals. Wouldn’t it be too much of a loss if they changed locations now?
Besides, it wasn’t safe to set up the communication station outside the stronghold.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard.
“What’s that sound?” Xu Yuan asked, then glanced at everyone else.
Han Xuefei and the others also looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Ning picked up her walkie-talkie and said, “I think I’m connected; wait a minute.”
She put the walkie-talkie to her ear and listened carefully, but she could not hear anything.
“There’s some static, and it’s an unknown channel. I don’t know whose walkie-talkie it is connected to.”
Lu Yu suddenly frowned. “Jiang Ning, what’s the situation with the upper house’s communication?”
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and answered, “Due to the heavy damage to the upper house, their current network only covers the upper house central. There’s no network in the surrounding area, only walkie-talkie signals.”
She realized something. In other words, the signal from the walkie-talkie just now is most likely a signal from the upper house.
Lu Yu nodded. He stood up and walked to Jiang Ning’s side, taking the walkie-talkie from her.
“Is this the same channel as before?”
“Yes, but it’s all static. I can’t hear anything useful.”
Lu Yu touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, “It seems that we haven’t opened enough cracks. Let’s try opening another one.”
“If we still can’t communicate with them after opening three cracks, we won’t have many chances left.” Xu Yuan reminded Lu Yu.
“We’ll definitely be able to communicate with them after opening one more crack!” Lu Yu said it decisively.
As he spoke, he took out a crystal and began to inject energy into it!
