Changmao looked around himself, he was in a few hundred meters large sphere filled with all sorts of stuff, there was also a two meters large sphere in the exact center, it was the entry and exit point of the Spatial Ring. He then used his Qi to activate a simple formation he had engraved on the two meter sphere. He called it "Sanity Switch", then the Materials that made up the border of the Spatial Ring vanished.

He saw himself, his loot, and everything else in the Ring everywhere around him. He flew, sped up and shot around, while it seemed like he entered a different Room whenever he crossed the place the Edge was before, he just entered the Spatial Rings from another Orientation and Edge. It always fascinated him. Then he nearly hit one of the stashes of loot, he laughed and stopped, he reactivated the formation and Materials filled the Edges again. (in the para-comments are a few pics)

After this he went to his Stash of loot, he had thrown it all into his Spatial Ring and not yet sorted. He first entered each of the Spatial Rings. Their Spaces were very small, only a dozen cubic meters, but as expected, the group's leaders had many Spirit Stones, around 150 thousand, and quite a few of them were of high grade. The total amount of Spirit Stones the others had were only 200 thousand, with most of them being of lesser grade. But other than the Spirit Stones there was nothing else of importance.

He took all of them up and put them into one of his Spatial Rings filled with only Spirit Stones, there millions upon millions of Spirit Stones floated all around. Changmao then went into a Spatial Ring, it had a sandy beach and a small lake of Spiritual Water, as a Spatial Ring is just a Compressed Dimension and has no gravity, he had made a formation that pulled everything down connected to the Sphere that is the entry and exit Point. It was quite hard to make and took him a few weeks. (not sure if the gravity part makes sense…)

A month passed and Changmao decided to once again go out. He went up one layer and send his Qi into the core of the Spatial Ring burrowed underground. The Qi flowed out and the Sand got pushed away. After forming a ring a few meters in diameter, he began to rotate it, speeding it up slowly.

A red Scorpion was moving across the Red Desert when suddenly it got flung into the air! The Sand below it had moved! Scared it looked around after it had landed again. It saw how sand rapidly moved, and the area expanded! Seeing this the red Scorpion ran away.

A few minutes later a pit had formed and Changmao left the Ring, he put it on his hand and flew away. It was always very interesting to observe how the sand gets flung away when he leaves his Ring.

Over the course of the next three months, he moved northwards towards the Frozen Ocean Territory, one of the Groups he robbed on his way had a letter saying a Spirit Stone Root would appear in five months. All in all, a total of forty groups tried to catch him but all of them stood no chance.

Soon he reached the border separating the two Territories. He felt the powerful Aura of someone at the Domain Expansion Realm! He knew that if he entered this Cultivators Domain then he would be found instantly, but he already had a plan. He went westwards to the trade route and searched.

It became night and then he spotted a caravan. They had set up a camp and many of them were asleep, only three were awake and looked around. Hours later when they became tired Changmao chased a small horde of Red Scorpions in the camps directions.

"There is something!" one of the cultivators told to the other two after spotting the Scorpions "It's okay, they are only Red Scorpions, no need to wake the others." another one said, "Lets exterminate them together, it'll be something nice to do in this boring desert."

Changmao watched as the three of them went towards the horde, he chuckled "I knew it would work!" he then sneaked into the camp and entered the first Spatial Ring he saw, inside he took out one of the stolen ones out of his own and also entered this, then he entered his own Ring.

The three returned and continued to keep watch, unknowing of the intruder that sneaked into their Camp. The next day the camping caravan continued on.

They finally reached the border between the Territories, hot and cold air crashed everywhere, and lightning bombarded the sand and ice on both sides. A gigantic pressure filled the entire sky and suppressed the Cultivators cultivation by one entire Realm, it was a Domain Expansion Realm Cultivators Domain!

They felt how an undeniable force swept over everyone, they felt like all their secrets were exposed, even their most hidden thoughts! The leader of the caravan suddenly took out hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, and moments later they began floating and shoot up into the sky. After getting the tax for crossing, the sweeping force left them, and the suppression stopped. Sweat had formed on all their Heads, even though they had crossed the territory border multiple times already, they couldn't stop thinking of what would happen if they annoyed the Cultivator!

A week later, they had already moved far away from the border and were headed to the Frozen Flame City, was when Changmao decided to leave the group again. He sent strands Qi up through three Rings and looked around. Dark Clouds filled the Sky and Snow covered everything. It was basically like the Red Desert Territory, just cold. The Cultivators were covering themselves in multiple layers of cloth, it was so cold that even they froze!

A few hours after the Caravan began setting up a camp. Then they began sleeping, again three stayed awake as lookouts. Seeing this Changmao had an idea and send out multiple strands of Qi, they entered the Snow moved a few hundred meters away. It was quite hard as the larger the distance between ones Qi and oneself was the harder it became to keep it under control. Then, once he felt like he had reached his maximum he rotated it.

The lookouts noticed it and went towards the rotation's center. Once they reached it Changmao dispersed his Qi and exited the Ring. While the lookouts were still busy trying to find out what caused the rotation, Changmao escaped.
