BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277 Unknown Place
Just a moment ago, he was following the three beasts that were heading upwards, toward what he initially thought was the surface of the water in his sea of consciousness, but it seemed he was mistaken.
As soon as he reached the place, he opened his eyes and appeared to have woken up in the real world, or at least so he believed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He didn\'t know why, but just the act of opening his eyes seemed like an extremely difficult task.
"Am I injured?" he wondered as he tried to get up, but he felt a searing pain throughout his entire body.
He wasn\'t sure what exactly had happened in the outside world while he was unconscious, but it seemed that somehow, he had been severely injured.
While lying down, he could feel a hard and rough surface beneath him.
Even though Ethan\'s body was injured, he could still use a bit of spiritual energy and could tell that he was lying on a rocky surface.
He wasn\'t sure how he had ended up here, but it was still better than remaining unconscious on the seabed.
That said, he initially thought he might be on an island or something similar near the site of the incident, but instead, he found himself in a completely unknown place.
He had barely regained a bit of visual clarity, and the first thing that appeared in front of his eyes was... the void.
"Where the hell am I?"
he thought, unable to see absolutely anything.
For a moment, he thought he had gone blind, but he soon dismissed that thought.
Although his vision only showed complete darkness, in his peripheral view, he could notice something.
However, lying motionless as he was, he couldn\'t determine what it was.
With effort, he circulated some spiritual energy from his dantian to let it flow through his meridians and repair his damaged body, but just as he began to circulate it, he encountered his second problem.
"This can\'t be happening," Ethan thought, frustrated as he felt every single meridian in his body was unusable.
It seemed that his meridians had also been damaged, and from their current condition, he could tell they needed external medicines and treatments to be repaired before he could start the internal process.
He summoned the system, and luckily for him, the screen appeared.
With everything that had happened recently, he wouldn\'t have been surprised if the system had also stopped responding.
At this moment, he was even struggling to perform an internal scan and couldn\'t access his spiritual sea.
If he could, he would have checked immediately to see if anything had changed within the amphora, but it seemed that for now, he\'d have to do without that.

Looking at the information on the status screen, he didn\'t see any apparent changes, although he was certain that if there had been an HP statistic, it would currently show a massive drop in health.
Wasting no more time, he pulled a couple of Level 4 healing pills from his storage and swallowed them without chewing, ingesting them directly.
Doing so would hurt him more than help, as in optimal conditions, his body would be capable of metabolizing the pill and digesting its healing properties where they were needed. But in his current state, he couldn\'t afford to do that.
He would have to swallow the pill as it was and then gradually consume it from within by using his spiritual Qi and directing it personally to where it was needed.
Needless to say, this was the process low-level cultivators usually underwent when using healing pills or pills that helped gather Qi a bit faster.
It was something that took time, and Ethan, who was currently unable to move, had only this to do so he proceeded.
The medicine\'s effects, though slow, were quite effective, and finally, after a couple of hours, he recovered enough to move his body without having to endure a sea of pain.
He stood up and found a nearby boulder to climb onto to gain a slightly broader view of the place.
He didn\'t know why, but for some reason, even though his health had somewhat recovered, he still couldn\'t use his spiritual sense.
It was as if the ability to do so was still there, ready to be utilized, but the moment he tried, the Qi he used to sense would vanish into thin air.
Ethan was somewhat puzzled by this, but for now, he had more immediate problems to deal with.
"I need to fully recover first," he thought as he attempted to enter his spiritual dimension once again.
Earlier, he had been unable to do so, even though the system seemed to be functioning, and he wasn\'t sure why that was.
But now that he had recovered, he felt that he might be able to, so with a mental command, he teleported and entered his minor dimension.
Within the minor dimension, on a circular platform with a cone-shaped roof, two people were seated, seemingly having lunch.
One was a young man who didn\'t look older than twenty, and the other was a charming girl who bore some resemblance to the boy.
The two were none other than the Guo siblings.
After remaining in the minor dimension for such a long time, both of them had now reached an age well over 100 years, yet their appearance still looked very young.
This was because, during this period, they had not only advanced in age but also in cultivation.
In fact, both siblings had reached a very high level of cultivation for their age.
Guo Tao had reached the peak of the mortal realm and was close to ascending to the spiritual realm.
He was just one small step away from ascension.
Had it been up to him, he would have taken that step long ago, but Ethan had told him to take his time to stabilize his cultivation properly and prepare adequately before ascending.
