Chapter- 19[Time-Space Mystery]
In a space filled with white smog or mist all around the nooks except one that has black grains accumulating there. A Black Book mysteriously hovers in the center of the place with a black aura around the book.
A little girl roughly 6 years old with large blue eyes and pigtail hair wearing a white one-piece dress stands a little away from the book with hundreds of screens drifting in front of her eyes showing different information and other stuff.
"Urghhh...Why is master detectable...She shouldn't be but there seems to be something connecting her with the Heavenly System...." The little girl grumbles from the annoyance of not finding the reason for her question.
'Should I call big sister...no...it is not the time for that...they will detect master early on if the aura of big sister came into existence again...but it is sad for her to be trapped there...master...please...' The little girl thought sadly with tears in her eyes.
The little girl hastily wipes her eyes with her arms and concentrates on the screens again.
'I could find it...I will....' The little girl thought, her eyes showing determination.
Suddenly her eyes halt at one of the screens showing the description of 'Fate Lines' making the little girl groan again.
"Right...They are manipulating the system... and 'Fate Lines' are directly connected to the system... should I cut them, but Master will feel that... urghh... and the Samsara Queen is also with Master... She will immediately awaken herself if the connection is removed... That Old man put Master in way too big trouble... why did he have to send master in this timeline..." The little girl mumbles in irritation as the image of an old man wearing rags appears in her mind.
The little girl turns her head towards the black book floating in the center of the space.
'And... this damn book, he obliterated the book's reality from everywhere, not even those old ones could find but it generated a blank in the timeline... haa... Master...' The little girl thought.
"Should I mess the fate... no, it will make things more difficult..." The little says thinking of the solution while focusing on the screens
"Maybe... no, let Master awaken first before doing anything else...or wait for the right time to come," The little girl says quietly thinking of unbelievable possibility which she quickly discarded.

Xia Dongyi and Yang Ruiya came out of Elder Lin's courtyard with a smile on both of their faces which quickly vanish.
Xia Dongyi halts herself in front of the gate of Elder Lin's courtyard making Yang Ruiya glance at her with a confusing expression.
Xia Dongyi grabs her mask from her Interspatial Ring and wears it on her face receiving a frown on Yang Ruiya's face who shot a glare at the mask with unhidden hatred.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to wear a mask like this..." Yang Ruiya grumbles slowly knowing that Xia Dongyi will hear her.
Xia Dongyi shakes her head.
"You know that I never contradict any request from any of you, right?" Xia Dongyi inquires softly and places her hand on Yang Ruiya's head brushing there calmly.
Yang Ruiya nods and just as she is about to speak, the medallion, a golden medallion with an inscription pattern on it hanging on her waist starts vibrates making Yang Ruiya quickly remove the medallion from there and placing it in her hands, she starts to send her spiritual energy in it. After sending her spiritual energy making the medallion shine a little, she hears a voice in her head making her nod her head multiple times.
Xia Dongyi glances at Yang Ruiya who kept nodding her head with a smile hidden from the world.
'Looks like Grand Elder called her... well I am not surprised with what she did before...' Xia Dongyi surmised calmly.
After a minute, Yang Ruiya hangs the medallion back to her waist and stares at Xia Dongyi with a sad expression.
"I have to go... Senior Sister, Master's Daoist Companion called me saying that the Cultivation room for me to break through to the next stage, The Peak Stage is ready..." Yang Ruiya sadly confesses dropping her head down.
Xia Dongyi smiled helplessly. She comprehends that Yang Ruiya wants to and loves to travel more which inherently makes her hate the close door cultivation but understanding that it would be beneficial for her, she would naturally encourage her.
"You should do it, and after you exit your closed-door cultivation, we will both go on a mission together." Xia Dongyi replies softly while her hands continue caressing Yang Ruiya's head making a bright smile appear on the latter's face.
"But don't be hasty during your cultivation." Xia Dongyi reminds Yang Ruiya sternly.
Xia Dongyi knows that Yang Ruiya will try to do things hurriedly if she could get to travel outside with her.
Yang Ruiya nods her head hearing that.
"Yes, I will be careful in that."
Xia Dongyi then takes her hand off Yang Ruiya's head making her look at the hand with hidden desire which quickly vanishes.
"Then, I am going back now, Senior Sister." Yang Ruiya continues while expecting a kiss which she can't get as they are out in open.
Xia Dongyi looks around and sees no one around, she instantly takes her mask off and gives a peck on Yang Ruiya's lips, and quickly puts it back.
Yang Ruiya stands there blankly for a moment before tracing her fingers on her lips with a smile forming on them.
"The next time will be more than a kiss...so be ready." Xia Dongyi whispers bringing her face near Yang Ruiya making her tremble as Xia Dongyi also blew in her ears.
Yang Ruiya nods her head and without even looking back, she starts to go towards her Master's residence.
Xia Dongyi looks at Yang Ruiya's back going back with a smile.
'It's good that she is excited and will reach the next stage... but I also need to hurry else I would be left behind...' Xia Dongyi reckons to determine herself to become stronger and not to be left behind by others.
'But... where could I find the resources... wait, I could visit the 'Beast Moutain', with the new refinement method, I should be able to refine the 'Beast Core' or maybe even the 'Monster Core'...this will increase my cultivation speed more than I could ask for..' Xia Dongyi contemplates thinking of visiting the 'Beast Mountain'.
'Beast Mountain', one of the mountain peaks controlled by the sect having Beast or Monsters varying from Rank 1 to Rank 6 there and in the rare case scenario, a Rank 7 one.
'But, I can't visit the inner grounds, the most I could hunt are Rank 3 but it would also be difficult... but it will give me rewards more along with that, it will help me have practical experience in fighting others.' Xia Dongyi decides mentally.
Xia Dongyi looks at the sky with the sun starting to go down a little making her realize that how much time she had spent here.
'Right... I could only visit there in the morning... I don't want to face hungry beasts during the night..' Xia Dongyi considers and starts walking to go down the mountain and return to her residence in the inner disciple quadrant.
During the way, Xia Dongyi sees many disciples from the 'Alchemy Hall' going up and down from the mountain having different things in their hands or may be stored in their Interspatial Rings.
'Alchemy is a good way for me to increase my strength... but it is going to take some time to understand it completely... well, I could get the maximum benefit that a pill could provide, so can't complain anything about that.' Xia Dongyi contemplates while walking towards her residence.
After some time, she reaches the Inner Disciple Quadrant while dismissing the gazes of awe she is getting from the disciples.
Xia Dongyi stops in front of the gate of the Inner Disciple Quadrant and looks at the two outer disciples looking at the inside with awe on their faces.
'Right! They could help me, I need to arrange the clothes for creating the undergarments and they could also help me in the production of that...' Xia Dongyi thought as the Idea of making the undergarments quickly materializes in her mind.
