Space Element Technique.

In the depths of the Sect Master's Building, a hidden prison held 13 captives, 12 of whom were Elders, and the 13th was Yue Qi.

"Why have they brought us here? What's the purpose?" Yue Qi asked, bewildered by the sudden transfer from a mountain prison to this secluded dungeon.

"They imprinted our powers, Young Master, That is an invention of the Ancestor Carnage of the Scarlet Carnage Sect, it can imprint the powers of someone and make sure they are never lost again before we break the imprint we will not be able to escape this place without being detected," Elder responded to his questions, They were also worried about what would happen to them after being captured, Sect Was Not kind to the spies.

"I see... Ancestor Carnage was truly formidable, wasn't he?" Yue Qi mused.

"Indeed, Young Master Yue. He possessed immense power, the kind only Ascenders could challenge. He was a legendary figure," another Elder replied.

Suddenly, an iron door swung open, flooding the prison with light. Grand Elder Chang entered, his gaze fixed on the captives.

"I can't believe you were a spy, Ling Tianfeng. I treated you like a son," Old Chang sighed, directing his gaze at one of the younger Elders.

Ling Tianfeng hung his head in shame. While they had appreciated the Sect's hospitality, they harbored anger at being captured, particularly because it involved their young master.

"Unshackle us, Chang... You don't comprehend the gravity of the situation... you will pay—" Before an Elder could finish, there was a deafening explosion, reducing their comrade to nothingness.

"I don't care for your threats. I'm here to deliver a warning. Sect Master Lin has been furious for days. If you don't want to experience something that will make you beg for death, you'd better reveal everything when he arrives," Old Chang said, his voice chilling.

"Hahahaha! Do you think you can keep us bound, old man?" Yue Qi laughed defiantly at Old Chang.

To his shock, Yue Qi found himself unable to use his powers.

"You must be Yue Qi the Explorer, a thorn for many sects in Central Continent, let me tell you something son, Our Ancestor was someone who loved collecting information about things, and his favorite subject to study was Elements, he was fascinated by the Elements and their powers, and one of them was Space Element, he has devised many different plans to deal with Space Element, the prison you guys are right now is between Dimensions, that is the reason why i am standing behind this line." Old Chang pointed his finger towards a line that extended horizontally from the Prison cells, it was a red line to be exact.

"In this place, you won't access your powers. As an old man's advice to a youngster, swallow your pride and think of your escape. In this world, luck does exist, but arrogance often leads to capture," Old Chang concluded before exiting.

"DAMNIT! DAMNIT! DAMNIT!" Yue Qi clenched his teeth and tried to calm himself. He adopted a sage-like demeanor, contemplating his escape.

"Let's wait for Sect Master Lin, Young Master. You may not know this, but he won't kill without obtaining answers," an Elder reassured Yue Qi.

"So, it's inside the Sect Master's Building?" Alex observed the energy signature ahead of him. He was shocked to discover that Yue Qi was impribsoned within the Sect Master's Building, puzzled about the reason. While Alex possessed the Space Element, he couldn't fathom why it would lead to Yue Qi's capture. Extracting Space Element would render it useless, and he knew Sect Master Lin and Grand Elder Chang were not inclined to waste valuable resources.

"Alright, now I need to—" Alex began to plan his next move, but he sensed an energy presence behind him.

"Hey there, Sect Master Lin. How are you doing?" Alex turned to find Sect Master Lin, who wore a wry smile.

"Do you miss the library so much that you've come back for another visit?" Sect Master Lin teased.

"Hahahaha, well, it has become my room now, with all my belongings there. Can I retrieve them, Sect Master Lin?" Alex asked, feigning innocence while sweating profusely.

"Ah, you can't even keep a straight face while lying to me. What do you want with Yue Qi, Zhi Li?" Sect Master Lin inquired.

Alex sighed understanding Sect Master Lin found him out, so he decided to tell him "I am working on some kind of Technique Sect Master Lin that uses Space Element to power up, i need to have the help of Yue Qi if i want to make that Technique possible if you want i will also tell you the name." Alex said this already having perfect technique in mind. he knew he was about to lie to the Sect Master Lin but he didn't have any more choice, he had to do this, Only way to get back to Earth was to get the help of Space Element, he also didn't have much time to chat, he could sense his turn for the Fight in the Arena in the Tournament was coming very soon, and he would need to participate in that, so Alex decided to quickly lie and get what he wanted, sometimes lying was quite a good way to get out of a situation. and this one was tricky, Alex was master at lying or that is what he thought so, He just needed to buy few second and get the dungeon but Sect Master Lin asked him a right question.

Sect Master Lin was skeptical. "How can you be sure that Yue Qi will assist you?"

"Ah... I didn't think that far," Alex admitted, his excitement over a potential return to Earth causing him to overlook this crucial detail.

"You look rather foolish with that expression. Follow me; I'll help you secure Yue Qi's cooperation for your technique," Sect Master Lin offered, flying down from the building.

Alex stood dumbfounded but grateful for Sect Master Lin's assistance.

"Hahahahaha, thank you."
