Chapter 389 - 306: The Perfection of Yin Space, The Essence of Space Rule!_2
Looking at the flower… it’s not a flower… Looking at the grass, it’s not grass. Looking at the rocks and hills, they’re not rocks and hills either. Everything seemed to have become the basic form of matter, unfolding itself before him.
Moreover.
He had a feeling which seemed to suggest that he just needed to randomly alter the sequence of these material matters, and he could change their structures, giving them completely different characteristics.
“Open!”
Xuanqing pointed at a withered leaf with his right hand and gave a light shout.
In an instant.
The originally ordinary withered leaf underwent a massive change. An endless expanse of space, stretching tens of thousands of cubic meters, emerged from within it.
It was… creating space from thin air!!
With the perfection of the Yin rule, a flower, a grass, life, and death, a speck of dust, a world can open up space in any object.
This moment.
Xuanqing picked up the leaf in which he had opened space, holding it in his hand to examine it closely.
His spirit was out of his body.
He was now in the space inside the leaf.
What came into view was a void of desolation. There was no air, no moisture, and not even a glimmer of light.
Although this expanse of space was void of anything, it had an extraordinary characteristic – it was extremely stable.
Generally speaking, let alone the fact that this is just an ordinary withered leaf, even the Kongming Stone which has the ability to open up space, after creating a space, would dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, unless it possesses some treasure that can hold the space together.
However.
In Xuanqing’s perception, the space he opened up within this leaf seemed to be as stable as an illusion. The speed of its dispersion and collapse was almost non-existent.
“No wonder both in Shimen and in Taoism, there’s a saying that ‘each flower forms a world’. Besides the microcosmic meaning, it must also have a connection with the rule of space.”
Xuanqing couldn’t help but praise.
Then.
He extended his finger again, lightly touching the void and desolate space.
Sizzling’
A sound, like that of hot oil on a pan, was heard.
In an instant.
The originally desolate and empty space, which had nothing in it, began to change visibly at a rapid pace. The first ray of light in this world was born.
With the appearance of this first ray of light, it was like a domino effect. Coloured lights were born in this space, intertwining and rotating around each other.
“Water!”
Xuanqing’s lips moved slightly.
Whoosh’
Like a world-ending flood, it stirred up monstrous waves within the entire space… sprinkling life’s source.
“Fire!”
“Earth!”
Next.
Just like a god of creation, after the appearance of each basic matter, chemical reactions started rapidly… leading to a massive explosion.
Boom- Boom.
After the explosion, the material that had formed like volcanic rock continued to erupt, interacting with the endless water, giving birth to the necessary ingredients of life.
After an unknowable amount of time.
The space inside this leaf, which was initially chaotic, gradually became peaceful, forming a world with land, light, heat, and seawater.
Somewhere at the bottom of a hot spring.
A single-celled organism made up of amino acids was freely floating under the force of the hot spring, constantly absorbing basic matter from its surroundings, evolving towards complexity.
Life… had been created.
All of this seemed like a miracle.
From a void space with nothing, to the appearance of the first ray of light, to the subsequent appearance of seawater, soil, etcetera, basic elements.
And the person who created all these miracles was none other than Xuanqing, who had achieved perfection in the Yin space.
This moment.
Seeing the formation of the world in the leaf and the eventual birth of life…
Breakthrough achieved!
Xuanqing’s eyes glowed with the light of wisdom.
All the things about Yin-space and the laws of matter’s movement played in his mind, from start to end, like a slideshow presentation.
“So… this is the Yin Rule. It’s is not just about tearing space, or even about space travel… All material matters are derived from the Yin Rule.”
Xuanqing’s eyes seemed to emit light.
This breakthrough… was now thoroughly complete.
Then.
With a thought.
“Open Character Panel!” Xuanqing murmured in his mind.
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade]: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation]: Yin-Yang Realms (Yin 100%, Yang 6.5%)
[Cultivation Method]: Unspecified
[Divine Ability]: Spatial Array Dao (Perfection), Fate Dragon Control Chapter
(x), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Perfection),
[Ingot]: 17E
On the Character Panel.
The rest remains relatively unchanged, except for the cultivation progress, which went from a mere 30% in the Yin Rule to a staggering 100% now.
Furthermore, the ‘Divine Ability’ listed as Spatial Array Dao, as a bonus from the Yin Rule, has automatically been upgraded to a perfect state in line with the completion of the Yin Rule.
As for the Ingots, I still have 1.7 billion remaining, unconverted.
“Within two and a half years, I’ve managed to cultivate my Yin Rule progress from 30% to perfection.”
“I speculate that ever since ancient times in the Three Realms, with the exception of the innate divine santities and the three thousand demon gods, no being has ever accomplished this.”
Xuanqing’s lips curled up slightly, he couldn’t help but think so.
Now,
The Yin Rule within the Yin-Yang Realms has genuinely reached its completion.
Next,
I need to start cultivating the Yang Time Rule. Currently, there has been no progress; it remains at the initial cultivation stage of 6%.
“With a remaining 1.7 billion Ingots, I can only exchange for one Chaos Extreme Yang Pill. This is like using a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood when it comes to advancing my cultivation progress in the Yang Rule.”
“Perfect timing, it’s been months since I’ve returned to the Water Blue Star; perhaps I can first traveled to the Water Blue Star and harvest some incense fire.”
“But… before that, let me check on Tang Xuanzang and the others.”
Thinking to himself,
Xuanqing dispersed his soul.
In an instant,
He enveloped the entire domain of the Black Wind Country.
With his current level of cultivation, his soul intensity has increased as well. Even though the territory of the Black Wind Country has expanded considerably in these past two years, I could still easily encase it.
Subsequently,
Within the scenes he saw under the coverages of his soul…
Dao Xuan was seen giving a speech at a square, with Tang Xuanzang seriously noting down the content of the speech with a notebook in hand.
Afterwards,
Dao Xuan seemed to ask a question, and Tang Xuanzang even raised his hand to answer, sharing what he wrote down and his own opinions that received a round of applause from the audience.
And the content of the speech can be summarized as… “On the Relation between Economy and the Law.”
Having caught a glimpse of this,
“Hehe~”
Xuanqing can’t help but laugh out loud.
In his heart, he is extremely anticipatory, eager to see what Tang Xuanzang will morph into after being influenced by the more advanced thoughts of the Black Wind Country in five years.
There is probably not much to see about the Monkey King; maybe, for a non-human creature like him, Black Wind Country is just an interestingly unfamiliar place.
After checking on the paired Fetching the Scriptures,
Xuanqing withdrew his consciousness.
Following,
“Exit the Game!”
Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing opened his eyes, and awoke from the game.
A little over half a year has passed since the last time I opened the Netherworld, during which I barely paused in the Real World.
I only ever returned to the Real World when my ingots were used up, hastily leaving after harvesting incense fire and exchanging them for ingots.
Honestly,
This intermittent cultivation… it feels like having constipation during a bowel movement. I always get cut off at crucial moments because I’ve depleted my elixirs.
“Calculated, it has been over a hundred days since I stayed in the Real World. Now that Yin Rule has been completed, I should handle some matters, and gather more Incense Fire Ingots by the side.”
Xuanqing got up, gazing into the distance.
With chaos extreme yang pills and chaos extreme yin pills to aide, I am not foolish enough to consume thousands or even tens of thousands of years practicing with traditional methods.
So,
I plan to stay in the Real World for a while, handling the pending matters from before.
And wait until I have accumulated enough incense fire to cultivate ‘Yang Time Rule’ to perfection. Only then I’ll retreat in the Game World and make a breakthrough in my cultivation in one go.
