Exploration

With the old man gone, Eric put all of the alchemy materials into the system space and followed right inside.

Eric looked at the alchemists' proficiency panel and found out that it would take about another three days for them to break through to become high-rank alchemists.

With nothing to do, Eric decided to explore the system space as he had not moved anywhere after getting into the space.

Eric took a couple of cultivators with him in case something happened.

Eric walked straight in one direction but still left markers in case he got lost.

He walked until he was tired, but even after all that walking, he had not gotten out of the forest. One strange thing was that he was not able to see a single animal in the space.

Eric continued to walk until the forest stopped but there wasn't another biome next to it. It was just the darkness surrounding the forest.

Eric came up to it and got one of the creations to put its hand forward. The creation couldn't put his hand past the darkness. Eric put his hand forward to find the same darkness holding him back.

With nothing to do, Eric went around the system space trying to see if the entire forest was surrounded by this darkness.

By the end of the day, Eric found that the entire system space was a forest, and the darkness was covering the entire thing. Lastly, Eric found out that the entire forest seemed to be about the size of an entire city.

This was big enough for him to do what he wanted without having to worry about space.
