Spatial Rings - 113

Zhou Fan sent some of his Qi into the ring's formation and waited to see what would happen. His Qi slithered through the formation, activating it, as part of Zhou Fan's mind was drawn into the ring, seeing what was inside, which was nothing.

With about one tenth of his mind focused on the inside of the ring and the rest on the outside, Zhou Fan grabbed a rock and willed it into the ring.

The rock disappeared from his hand as if it had teleported and reappeared inside the ring, floating unchanged in the large space.

It had worked!

Zhou Fan felt excitement at the fact that his idea worked. No longer would he have to have everything he owned floating beside him or in some place far away. He could now keep anything he wanted on him at all times.

Zhou Fan could have made the storage space without the ring, but it would be too inconvenient for him at his current strength. It would be a bit longer before he could casually do something like that without the ring.

Zhou Fan continued to experiment with the ring and stored many of the things he had. He only managed to stop himself after a couple of hours.

Zhou Fan still had time before he went into seclusion and came up with the idea to share the joy of the ring with the rest of the Zhou World.

Zhou Fan thought of many ideas on how to do such a thing, but the best idea he had was to create spatial stones. They would be like spirit stones but would contain space Qi, much like the cold Qi stones in the ravine the Zhou Fan placed a sword in.

Of course, the stones wouldn't give the same results as Zhou Fans ring. At best, they would be able to be forged into rings with a bedroom of space.

Zhou Fan decided to go ahead and try to make a space stone. He first condensed the highest quality spirit stone in the Zhou World, a top grade spirit stone, and then started adding space Qi to it.

Although it was simple, nobody but him could do something like change the structure of a spirit stone. The only thing others could do with them was absorb or take away the Qi inside. Only Zhou Fan could change the essence of them since he was the "creator" of the Zhou World.

After a few minutes of carefully and steadily inputting space Qi into the spirit stone, Zhou Fan saw its usual light blue color start to deepen and darken. After 10 minutes, the color of the spirit stone was a dark blue like space instself.

After 10 more minutes, the space stone was successfully forged. It was still a dark blue, but it had white specks similar to stars within it.

Zhou Fan was content with the space stone, but before testing it he decided to make some more. Now that he knew what the spirit stone could handle, Zhou Fan poured space Qi into it much faster. In only five minutes, he was done with another one.

After a day, Zhou Fan had created 300 space stones. He spent another week on them and forged 2400 space stones in total. Now, he would experiment on them and see what they could do if forged correctly.

Zhou Fan grabbed some materials at the 5th grade, or soul formation and made them into a ring like his, only much weaker.

He then took the stone and put it in fire as if he was a real blacksmith. Although he could forge it easily himself, Zhou Fan needed to imitate someone in the soul formation realm.

Naturally, he was still the best blacksmith in the universe. He had created the art after all.

The stone heated up, and after Zhou Fan used some Qi to increase the fire's strength, the stones started to slowly condense. Zhou Fan put his hand in the raging fire and helped shape the space stone.

Eventually, the space stone had decreased in size enough to fit on the ring. Zhou Fan took it and placed it on the stone holder. The space stone and the ring didn't do anything even when put together at first, but when Zhou Fan added a couple formations, the ring and the stone seemed to gain a connection.

With the forging done, Zhou Fan was able to open up the space ring. The inside was as big as Zhou Fan expected, the size of an average bedroom.

After the first forging was completed, Zhou Fan didn't forge anymore from the space stones he had made.

Instead, he got a piece of paper from a grade five tree and wrote the process of forging a space ring on it.

After writing the instructions, Zhou Fan renamed the space ring. It was now called a spatial ring.

He had formed an idea earlier. Instead of throwing a couple of rings to some people, Zhou Fan decided to make the birth of the spatial rings a spectacle.

The first part of the plan was to randomly place the space stones somewhere. Zhou Fan looked around the world and chose an unsuspecting mountain to put them under. He designed it so that the space stones seemed naturally born there.

He then made a treasure map that would lead the finder to the mountain.

Before he did anything else, Zhou Fan teleported to the center of the Zhou world and created an array that would automatically produce spatial stones every few years. That way, there wouldn't only be 2400 spatial rings in the world.

For the next step, Zhou Fan went into space. He brought along with him a large amount of dirt and ores from the ground.

He then formed a big asteroid high above the Zhou World. it wouldn't destroy much since the Zhou World was naturally tough, but it would shake the planet for a few moments, alerting everyone.

In the center of the asteroid, Zhou Fan placed the spatial ring he had forged from the space stone and the instruction on how to make spatial rings with the stones, along with the treasure map that led to the stones.

However, he wouldn't make it that easy to obtain.
