Ricky and Soar were inundated with gray mist after entering the enlightening passage. It felt like they had turned into time travelers, moving through the veil of time back to the time immemorial. Looking round, they felt the enlightening power sweeping through the air.
They didn't dare to refine the enlightening power at this time and in this place, though.
They all knew that once the power was refined, a large number of invisible space rifts would pop up.
Among different space rifts, the enlightening passage itself was visible and relatively safe. But the invisible space rifts were very dangerous. Even if you were a spiritual emperor, once you fell in, nothing could bring you back.
They had to find out the enlightening vortex for them to acquire the enlightening power. While at it, they also had to stay away from places where the power was very intense.
When Ricky, Soar, the young master of the Heaven Palace and his two maids walked inside the passage, all the other warriors and spiritual king beasts followed closely behind.
For their own safety, they fanned out across the ground while keeping a distance from each other.
"Ricky, let's go deep into the enlightening passage. But we have to be careful. The enlightening vortex must be much deeper," Soar told Ricky, communicating with him through their telepathic link.
"I got it. We had better keep a distance from the young master for the moment. You know, we don't have the chance to finish him off here," Ricky answered.
A few seconds later, Ricky and Soar dove deep into the passage. They didn't give the morose-looking young master the attention he wanted.
Ricky activated the power of three zones to scan the surroundings, lest he and Soar should fall into the invisible space rifts. Before he was done, an ear-splitting scream rent the air. The enlightening power had snatched one of the warriors and thrown him into the most volatile part of the enlightening passage.
The power in this space was so terrifying.
Especially, after the incident of the warrior who was sucked into the rift, almost everyone was shaken to the core. Now, some regretted entering the passage. But since there was no easy way out, most of them decided to move ahead, but now on high alert.
"These invisible rifts are so horrifying. All around me, I can see even innate spiritual kings feel defenseless in these spaces," Ricky told Soar through their telepathic link. He felt overwhelmed with emotions.
"Ricky, the space rift you have seen is relatively harmless to us. As long as its suction weakens, we'll safely get to the right part of the passage," Soar explained.
"Though small, the invisible space rifts are linked to the vast Universe. Once you fall in one of them, no matter how powerful you are, it will send you hurtling through space forever.
To our advantage, you can detect the rifts using your Chaotic Fire Zone. Otherwise, it would be plain dangerous to even venture anywhere close. So for now, let's take chances and stake our lives together on it.'
In the following several hours, all the warriors and spiritual king beasts plodded towards the depths of the enlightening passage at their snail pace. During these hours, a dozen warriors and spiritual king beasts were sucked into the invisible space rifts.
The chicken-hearted among them were terrified out of their wits, some helplessly collapsing, unable to hold out any more. All they wanted was to get out of here first thing when the suction force weakened three days later.
With the aid of the Chaotic Fire Zone, Ricky and Soar could march forward quickly. Though, they had to slow down to everyone else's speed in order not to arouse suspicion among the warriors.
Half a day later, they finally reached the depths of the enlightening passage, where a number of small passages, each spewing intense enlightening power, branched off from the main passage.
"Soar, the enlightening vortexes must be in these small passages!" Ricky said telepathically.
"True. Enlightening vortexes do exist in these small passages. If the small passage we chose to enter doesn't have enlightening vortexes, we have to accept bad luck," Soar explained.
"What's more, some of these small passages are interlinked, and so we may have to compete head-to-head with other warriors inside."
