In the middle of the night, many people of the Zhou World saw a strange glow from outside their houses.
Curious, they looked outside their windows, only to see an expanding circle in the night sky. The people were shocked and many ran inside to wake everyone up.
Within five minutes, the moon had expanded to a size that made it proportional to the earth's moon.
Zhou Fan stopped expanding it as it reached that size since he had only planned to make it that big in the first place. The size of the moon was 5 times the earth's size.
Although Zhou Fan had some more plans for the moon, he felt a couple of presences traveling towards the moon. The presences were every void traversing cultivator in the Zhou World.
Zhou Fan had no choice but to evacuate the moon and teleport back to his floating palace. from there, he observed what transpired on the moon.
At first, the void traversing cultivators approached the moon with curiosity, but they soon got into a heated argument about who owns what.
Anna and the dragon king naturally had the advantage in the arguments, but they had made many agreements with the other rulers about fairness. Among them was a rule that said they could not threaten to use their strength in order to get benefits.
Although no one could stop them if they broke the agreement, even their own people would look down on them if they did.
In the end, the rulers decided to leave half the moon untouched, and split the rest evenly. The argument only ended so nicely because the moon had little to no use. There were no trees and you couldn't grow anything.
Even if they used Qi to make an area habitable to grow things, it would only bear the same result as growing it on the ground. Not to mention the fact that they would have to bring their own dirt since the moon rock was unable to grow anything.
The only thing that could be done with the territory on the moon was making a base, but in order for anyone below void traversing to live on it, they would need to make a formation to bring air and have a way to travel from the ground to the moon.
Since people below void traversing couldn't go in space, they would either have to make a very long bridge, which wouldn't be possible due to the rotation of the planet, or personally take people up there.
Of course, that wasn't Zhou Fan's problem. He had only made the moon in order to make the Zhou world feel more complete.
Right now, he was thinking of an idea he suddenly had. Carrying things around had long become inconvenient to Zhou Fan and he wanted to figure out a way to fix that problem.
He had thought about it for a while, but the only thing he felt he could do was create a space pocket to hold his stuff.
But that was easier said than done. Although Zhou Fans control over space had been increasing over time, creating a permanent pocket in space would be a bit much for him.
He may be able to do it, but it would take an uncomfortable amount of his Qi to keep it working constantly. The only way he could think to reduce the load was to make the space pocket inactive when he wasn't using it.
That would mean making an invisible storage that was around him at all times. As for how to keep it around him, he had an idea.
Zhou Fan grabbed at the air, causing the strongest materials in the planet's core to teleport to him. The fact that he could do such a thing proved he would be able to create a space pocket.
Zhou Fan melted all the materials he had taken down and condensed them, eventually forming them into a ring.
The ring was silver in color and completely unnoticeable by anyone below his realm. Zhou Fan then moved on to the hard part.
He carefully carved a hole in space and began to make it deeper and deeper. It was an extremely hard thing that most people couldn't even comprehend. After an hour of careful carving, Zhou Fan made it to a different layer of space. It was one that couldn't be seen normally.
Zhou Fan was glad at his success and carved a fine cube out of the space, before imprinting his Qi onto it and taking ownership of the space.
However, that wasn't enough. If he left it like that, the space would remain at that point forever.
Zhou Fan had to do one more thing before it could even be considered functional. Zhou Fan reached his two fingers in the space carefully and grabbed the cube he carved out.
The space around the cube instantly filled the space it left behind like water would. Zhou Fan carefully held the cube, using an immense amount of Qi so that it didn't disperse back to the world, and placed it on his ring where the stone would usually go.
Still supplying Qi to it, Zhou Fan layed many formations that would uphold the integrity of the space before he finally let go.
He watched the ring, waiting for it to either explode or do nothing. After a minute, Zhou Fan felt that it must have been a success.
The ring hadn't changed appearances at all from when it was first forged, but it now carried an invisible space on it.
The space was so tiny that a flea could barely fit, although the flea would die instantly due to the environment in there. Zhou Fan once again created a formation that this time made the space calm. Although he hadn't made it able to hold living things, he could now put items in there without them freezing or being destroyed instantly.
Zhou Fan then added a formation that made the ring usable. The formation, when Qi was put into it, would expand the space and make it the size of a mountain.
When the formation was deactivated, the space would shrink alongside everything else inside it.
Such a feat could only be achieved due to Zhou Fan power level. Now, the ring was ready to be tested.
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.
