Chapter 842: The Essence of Space

Chapter 842: The Essence of Space

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged in place, silently comprehending the surrounding space Dao rhyme.

In the Lost Domain, independent spaces were constantly being generated,

and then rapidly disappeared immediately after.

Zhang Yuhe could clearly sense that

these disappearing spaces were not shattered and destroyed,

but were continuously overlapping and advancing towards the depths of the Lost Domain.

Layer upon layer of space interlocked with one another,

seeming endless.

Once a Cultivator fell into them,

slowly, they would be transported by these overlapping spaces to the depths of the Secret Realm.

If they did not have extremely good luck,

it was almost impossible to escape.

This was precisely the terrifying aspect of the Taijin Mystic Region.

Although this Secret Realm would not bring direct harm to a Cultivator,

being deeply trapped in such a spiritual-dead land where one could never get out,

and unable to continue to Cultivate,

a Cultivator with a slightly weaker Heart-Nature placed in such an environment,

wouldn't they go mad?

The Secret Realm's spaces were overlapping layer upon layer, with the birth and destruction of worlds constantly evolving,

as if there was some almighty Creator

creating one independent world space after another here.

The spaces continuously evolved,

and Zhang Yuhe silently comprehended.

Various profound thoughts continuously formed in his mind.

The essence of space, the creation of the world—

right here,

Zhang Yuhe seemed to see the Origin that structured all spaces in the world.

A long time ago,

Zhang Yuhe had always believed that all matter in the world was composed of countless tiny particles.

Particles could be infinitely decomposed, and there was never a smallest state.

However, after he entered the Chaos River,

Zhang Yuhe suddenly discovered that

the teleportation Divine Ability he had created back then could not be cast within the Chaotic River.

It was not because his Divine Power was insufficient,

but rather that he simply could not see through the structural essence of the Chaotic River

and find the basic constituent particles of the Chaotic River.

But when he entered the Taijin Mystic Region

and comprehended the various spatial evolutions, births, and destructions within the Lost Domain,

Zhang Yuhe finally captured the essence that constituted these spaces.

Just like his previous guess,

the various spatial structures in the Lost Domain were likewise composed of tiny particles.

It was just that previously in the Chaos River, he couldn't see it out at all.

But right here,

as space continuously underwent birth, destruction, and evolution, the structural essence of space finally clearly presented itself before Zhang Yuhe.

Through the essence of space,

he saw those particles that had undergone countless decompositions.

These tiny particles ultimately combined into vast spaces one after another.

"So that's how it is."

Zhang Yuhe was thoughtful.

As long as the theory was correct,

then his teleportation Divine Ability would have a place to be applied.

Zhang Yuhe had already grown accustomed to relying on the Heaven and Earth Limitless Divine Power to quickly teleport and travel afar.

But after entering the Chaos River,

this Divine Ability had no clues whatsoever and could not be cast at all.

As a result, he could only, just like other Cultivators,

travel afar in the Chaotic River by riding the Chaos Divine Boat.

This kind of efficiency was simply too slow,

making Zhang Yuhe extremely annoyed.

Therefore, he headed straight for the Taijin Mystic Region,

hoping to comprehend the Space Great Dao Rule here

and then use the power of the rule to achieve the purpose of teleportation.

As various insights continuously presented themselves in his mind,

Zhang Yuhe suddenly understood:

he seemed to have understood it a bit wrong before.

The essence of the teleportation Divine Ability did not rely on the power of the Space Rule,

but rather used this Great Dao Rule to parse the structural essence of space,

and ultimately manifest the tiny particles that composed space one by one.

Then, through these tiny particles, the purpose of teleportation was achieved.

Zhang Yuhe suddenly understood that

simply comprehending the Space Rule alone was not enough to cast the teleportation Divine Ability in the Chaos River.

The power of the rule was the foundation, and the teleportation Divine Ability was the important method.

If there was no blessing from the Divine Ability,

relying solely on the power of the rule obviously made it impossible to teleport.

In other words,

even if other Cultivators had likewise comprehended the Space Rule,

it did not necessarily mean they could teleport in the Chaos River.

Of course,

Great Dao Divine Abilities were myriad.

Since Zhang Yuhe could create the teleportation Divine Ability known as Heaven and Earth Limitless,

other people naturally also had the opportunity to create other similar teleportation Divine Abilities.

Take the Void Lord for instance.

Legend had it that this Dao Alliance Venerable could teleport and shuttle through the Chaos River.

Presumably, the Void Lord, just like Zhang Yuhe, had also created a similar Divine Ability method.

Divine Abilities were methods, and Great Dao Rules were the foundation.

Without the foundation, no matter how profound the method was, it was impossible to cast it.

Without a suitable method, no matter how profound the foundation was,

one would still be helpless.

Zhang Yuhe had already possessed the Divine Ability method long ago.

Back when he was in the Immortal Realm,

he had created the teleportation Divine Ability called Heaven and Earth Limitless.

What Zhang Yuhe lacked was merely the foundation.

As long as he comprehended the Space Great Dao and could clearly analyze the tiny particles that composed space,

then he would inevitably be able to cast the teleportation Divine Ability in the Chaos River.

Zhang Yuhe sat cross-legged in the Void Realm.

Various thoughts constantly flashed through his mind.

He did not know how much time had passed,

but Zhang Yuhe slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He muttered to himself, saying,

"So this is the Space Great Dao."

"The Great Dao is simple; I used to think about it too complicatedly."

Zhang Yuhe slowly stood up.

He saw his right hand slice across,

and a particle vortex gradually appeared in the Void Realm.

The particle vortex was not very large,

being only three feet in radius,

just enough for one person to pass through.

Through the particle vortex,

Zhang Yuhe could clearly see the towering sacred mountain of the Galaxy Holy Land.

Across an endlessly distant distance,

the teleportation Divine Ability reached directly to the Saint Realm.

In the future, he would no longer need to pilot the Chaos Divine Boat and rush about everywhere in the Chaotic River.

Wherever he wanted to go, he could teleport directly.

Seeing this situation,

Zhang Yuhe's face couldn't help but reveal an excited expression.

After a short while,

the particle vortex slowly shattered, and the Void Realm returned to peace.

Zhang Yuhe sliced with his right hand once more,

and the particle vortex appeared anew.

After trying multiple times,

Zhang Yuhe suddenly discovered that

teleporting in the Chaos River was not without limits.

He could teleport directly from the Taijin Mystic Region to the Galaxy Saint Realm,

or even slightly farther places.

But that was about it.

If it exceeded the scope of Three Saints Heaven, then the might of the particle vortex could not pierce through.

In other words,

he could currently only teleport within the region of Three Saints Heaven.

If he left this area,

he would have to reopen the particle vortex and continuously relay forward.

Looking at the particle vortex in the Void Realm,

Zhang Yuhe was thoughtful.

"Perhaps my understanding of the Space Great Dao is still not enough."

"When I push this Great Dao Rule to the Perfection level,"

"should I be able to teleport a bit farther?"

"Let's try other application methods of the Space Rule."

Thinking of this,

Zhang Yuhe quickly formed hand incantations.

Layer upon layer of invisible ripples slowly spread towards the distance.

He attached the Space Rule into the wave Divine Ability.

The ripples passed through layers of space,

presenting the situation of the entire Secret Realm completely and clearly in his mind.
