My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 66 Qin Xiaotian's Shock

"That's right. It seems it really is related to you."

Qin Xiaotian looked at Li Chen in amazement: "As you probably already know, seven years ago, Earth scientists accidentally disrupted spacetime during an experiment studying magnetic fields, breaking through two universes. Earth suffered huge casualties that time."

Li Chen nodded.

"Humans on Earth only started cultivating seven years ago because the higher-ups realized that there might be a major catastrophe in the future, so the whole world has secretly united to cultivate strong individuals."

Qin Xiaotian continued, "To date, there are only a little over eighty experts at the Cave Heaven Realm level worldwide, including myself."

"So many?" Li Chen was taken aback.

"Is it a lot?"

Qin Xiaotian shook his head: "Not at all. Moreover, our group is the most talented group in the world, and it took us seven years to reach the Cave Heaven Realm."

He paused, then spoke again: "On Earth, there used to be an era of eternal silence. Even if we Earthlings could cultivate, we couldn't break through there and had to come to this side. But two months ago, everything changed."

Two months ago was precisely the time when Li Chen began to rise to prominence.

"Originally, when powerful beings from other worlds entered Earth, they could only exert the strength of the Body Tempering Realm at most, while Earthlings could exert the strength of the Spirit Body Realm at most. Even if a large number of enemies suddenly came from other worlds, we could handle them."

Qin Xiaotian's eyes were complicated: "But now, the strongest people from the other world can already unleash the power of the sixth realm of mortals. We are severely short-handed. If this continues, the opening of Yanhuang Academy may be affected, and even the entire Earth may be plunged into a huge disaster."

"Is there any solution from above?"

Li Chen asked, "If we could impose some restrictions on the world passage, that should solve the problem, right?"

"There are some solutions, but they are not perfect yet; the Earth needs time."

Qin Xiaotian said, "These world passages can be restricted by formations. If someone with too much strength tries to force their way through, they can be directly manipulated and destroyed, but doing so would be counterproductive."

He paused, then asked again, "When will you have your next breakthrough?"

"Anytime is fine."

Li Chen didn't hide anything: "Moreover, my purpose in returning to Earth this time is to break through to the ninth realm in one go."

"Don't----"

Qin Xiaotian's expression changed drastically: "Your kind of breakthrough should require breaking through the rules and constraints on Earth first, right?"

"That's right. The principal should know better than me that after reaching a certain level of perfection in cultivation on Earth, one will be restricted by the rules of heaven and earth."

Li Chen nodded: "The way I break the rules is to deliberately let the chains formed by the rules of heaven and earth bind me, and then I actively break the chains of rules. In this way, a chain reaction will be triggered, and the suppression of that major realm will disappear."

"Hiss—you mean, you just snapped the chains of rules?"

Qin Xiaotian gasped, staring at Li Chen in disbelief.

"I thought you already knew," Li Chen said, looking at the other person.

'

Qin Xiaotian looked at Li Chen as if he were a monster.

After a long pause, he gasped again: "You just said you planned to break through to the ninth realm in one go? Does that mean you're going to break through all the remaining chains of the rules in one fell swoop?"

"That's right." Li Chen nodded.

Immediately, cold sweat broke out on Qin Xiaotian's forehead: "Can we slow down? Earth isn't ready yet. If a powerful being from another world can unleash the strength of a mortal at the ninth level on Earth, it would be a disaster for Earth. Earth is simply unable to withstand it now."

Li Chen frowned slightly: "Principal, how many of these passages that connect the two worlds are there?"

"There are five in the open, but there must be more than a dozen in the shadows."

Qin Xiaotian replied, "There are still some that may not have been discovered, such as the seabed. After that group of Earth scientists accidentally stirred up the spacetime magnetic field, it became unstoppable, and the spacetime spiritual field will naturally form."

"Can these passages be destroyed?" Li Chen asked again.

"If we were given more time, we might be able to destroy it using the formation, but at a great cost."

Qin Xiaotian replied, "I've already told you before that the only way is to first set up an array, then have a high-level expert pass through and forcefully break the array, thereby detonating the passage."

"What if I could destroy those passages?" Li Chen suddenly asked.

"What—you—you can destroy the passage?"

Qin Xiaotian suddenly stood up, asking in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Li Chen nodded: "I've tried it before. Newly formed spacetime spirit fields are easy to destroy, but I haven't tried it on already formed passages. What I mean is, if some passages are too dangerous and their value isn't that great, I suggest destroying them directly."

"Hiss—this matter is of great importance. Let's go back to Earth first, and I'll report to my superiors."

Qin Xiaotian said directly, "You can wait here for a few days. It won't be too long. If things go quickly, we might have an answer today."

"I hope it will be soon; I still need to break through," Li Chen reminded him.

"That's natural. You should already be the strongest in the Mortal Realm. If you can reach the Ninth Mortal Realm, then you will be the strongest on Earth. Your breakthrough is, in some ways, even more important."

Qin Xiaotian said, "Don't feel guilty. I believe the higher-ups share this view."

After saying that, he disappeared.

Li Chen didn't leave either. He took out the stack of documents given to him by the old Taoist Liang Li and continued to study them.

It seems we'll need to implement some restrictions.

His comprehension is now astonishing; given the corresponding basic knowledge, he can grasp the upgraded version in a short time.

For example, he could modify and directly execute some of the ancient Taoist spells on Earth in this document, such as fireball spells, cleansing spells, and golden light spells, just by glancing at them.

However, this time he needs to study restrictive spells.

Ideally, there should be a technique that can distinguish between different worlds, such as one that, when applied to a world passage, only allows Earthlings to pass through, while preventing people from other worlds from passing.

This spatial array seems quite suitable, but some passageways need to be added.

Li Chen focused his attention on the spatial array that the old Taoist priest and others had studied. This was precisely a restrictive array, and theoretically, if it could be developed, it could suppress cultivation.

The effect is that once someone's cultivation level exceeds a certain realm, they will be unable to pass through this formation.

If someone tries to force their way through, there are only two outcomes: either the intruder will be crushed or the formation will be destroyed.

However, this formation is still in a semi-finished state, or even not a semi-finished state, but only a framework.

Li Chen had previously acquired basic knowledge of formations in Black Sheep Village, and later, while studying magic, he casually improved upon the formations.

Therefore, his understanding of formations is now extremely strong.

Even though he had never systematically studied formations, his comprehension was so high that he could grasp many things with just a glance.

Therefore, this unfinished spatial array was constantly being disassembled and perfected in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed, and he had already developed a prototype of a restriction-type formation.
