Chapter 1261
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Space Chip, Seeing Through the Void
Lin Shan focused his attention and took the opportunity to leave his body with his primordial spirit. However, he was still cautious and left a wisp of his primordial spirit attached to the spiritual energy in the void to guard his physical body. He then disappeared into the black hole!
As soon as they entered, they found themselves surrounded by shimmering blue-purple water, flickering eerily in the cave. Upon realizing the intruders, they scattered like tadpoles in fright.
In a flash of inspiration, he realized that these tadpoles were all good things and he absolutely could not let them escape!
With a thought, it instantly transformed into a streak of light and chased after the enemy.
after awhile.
His spirit had to stop and looked around helplessly. After a long time, he hadn't caught a single one and ended up empty-handed!
"My understanding of the void is too superficial; I can't grasp it at this stage."
The understanding of the void at the Nascent Soul stage is still limited to being able to violently tear, pass through, and merge into it; they are far from being able to borrow power from it!
Now I finally understand how powerful the Void Refinement stage is.
He just wouldn't believe it!
"Yuan Sha Domain, come in!"
He actually unleashed his supreme divine power, intending to catch them all in this narrow passage. But who knew that those tadpoles were incredibly agile, managing to pass right through the edge of his domain, swimming around in the net's opening, and playing with him at will!
Lin Shan was stunned.
No?
Is this thing so hard to catch?
Half an hour later, he felt that his primordial spirit was slightly overwhelmed and had to turn back to reality. There were only the two of them in the cabin outside. The Spirit Master opened his eyes from his nap.
"So, did you find anything?"
Lin Shan gave a bitter smile and recounted his ordeal in detail.
The other party was not surprised at all upon hearing this, and told him that it was normal for the first time to be like this, that everyone was in a similar situation, and that he should not be discouraged or worried, but just keep trying.
"Those tadpoles are all mayflies that parasitize space. They can be considered the basic level of void creatures. Because they have spatial talents and their movements are relatively simple, they are among the easiest creatures to catch and can help cultivators comprehend the laws of the void."
Void mayfly!
This insect is born with the laws of space. Of course, each individual contains only a tiny amount, and most of them overlap. But absorbing it can enhance one's understanding. Therefore, it is a must-learn course for every beginner to 'see the void' for the first time!
The Spirit Master temporarily put down the Star-Probing Needle. Activating the Mysterious Heaven Treasure for half an hour had taken a heavy toll on him, so he immediately sat cross-legged, took out some pills, and began to slowly recover.
Lin Shan's spiritual journey had also taken a toll on his primordial spirit, so he circulated his cultivation technique to recover, finishing about an hour later.
"How is it? Can you still come?"
"Thank you for your trouble, senior."
The Spirit Master nodded, then activated the Star-Probing Needle again and gently poked it at the top of his head.
The spatial ripples spread rapidly, and a black hole the size of a broad bean reappeared. Lin Shan, having practiced before, leaped into it with his primordial spirit!
This time he wasn't as reckless as before; instead, he brought the Heavenly Treasure Void Star Disc and the Primordial Realm Wind Corridor with him.
Sure enough, when the tadpoles saw him, they didn't even glance at him and just swam away!
Where are you going?
After a long chase and capture, they finally managed to catch one after exhausting all their strength and relying on the combined power of their two magical treasures!
Upon closer inspection, this void mayfly turned out to be quite fierce, baring its teeth at him with its mouth open. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding area was tightly sealed by divine energy, it could easily have slipped out if one wasn't careful.
Lin Shan suffered a lot because of his innate ability to travel through space!
Half an hour later, when he pulled the thing out of his body, the Spirit Master smiled and congratulated him:
"Haha, everything is difficult at the beginning. It seems you're in luck, young friend."
The other party attributed it to luck.
Lin Shan agreed wholeheartedly. Catching Void Mayflies does indeed depend on luck, but who can say for sure about probability?
"Actually, I forgot to tell you a method: you can also use bait to catch them, just like fishing, since these things aren't very intelligent."
"."
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Lin Shan was almost furious. He had worked himself to the bone inside for so long to finally catch him, and then he was told this? Was he doing this on purpose?
He could see a hint of smugness in the eyes of the Spirit Master, who was clearly unhappy about being forced to send out the Star-Probing Needle not long ago and was taking the opportunity to tease him.
"An old rascal? How old are you to be so childish?"
Helpless, he could only grumble to himself, since he still needed the other party's help to activate the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure. He could only change the subject and ask questions.
"Senior, how do I refine this Void Mayfly?"
"You can swallow them directly or rub them with your hands. They are ethereal beings, so there won't be any residue left in your body. Just use spiritual fire to cook and refine the spatial laws."
Only after receiving the other party's affirmation did Lin Shan place this thing within the Myriad Forms Star Flame.
There was no sound, no smell of burning, and it gradually faded away with just one breath, leaving a small crystal resembling a point of light in place.
The enhanced panel has arrived as promised:
Space Chips
Quality: None
Introduction: Contains insights into the laws of space, which can be absorbed and utilized.
Enhancement requirement: (Cannot be enhanced)
Like living beings, things that cannot be materialized do not fall under the category of enhancement, but at least this thing can be identified to ensure that there is nothing dirty inside.
Lin Shan absorbed it without hesitation, feeling his primordial spirit surge instantly!
The dizziness almost made him stagger and fall over. An indescribable feeling lingered in his mind, seemingly real yet unreal, mysterious and elusive.
The Spirit Master beside him stroked his beard and explained calmly:
"That's normal. When you first come into contact with the laws of the void, you'll feel a strong sense of discomfort. But you'll get used to it after you've seen it more often."
"But senior, I don't feel like I've changed at all?"
"It's good that nothing has changed. The laws are something that only True Immortals and above can control. Don't even mention you; even I only have a superficial understanding of them and can only use them!"
The other party gave him time to reflect, while simultaneously providing explanations in their replies.
"The laws of space are among the most difficult of all laws. To truly master them requires reaching the Taiyi level. You only have a superficial understanding of them now."
"We cultivators in the Void Realm merely use our shallow understanding of the void to inscribe our Dao on the void, which is equivalent to making a grand vow. Only when it is recognized by heaven and earth can we have the path to ascension to immortality!"
"As for the subsequent realms, they are merely superficial understandings derived from the void. When you eventually become a true immortal, you will naturally return to the original path and pick up the laws that suit you again."
"Do you understand?"
After some explanation from the other party, Lin Shan finally understood. Each person has their own unique laws, but at the Void Transformation stage, they have no choice but to align themselves with the laws of the void. First, inscribing the laws in the void is like making a report, so that they may have the possibility of further ascension later.
This is a stepping stone!
It is also the only path that all cultivators of the immortal path must take.
"Of course, your understanding of the void is still relatively shallow, so you can't apply it to reality yet. Once your understanding is deep enough, you can start trying to build the prototype of your own domain."
As they chatted and recovered, they began their third exploration!
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. After Lin Shan gained experience the first time and successfully caught the Void Mayfly, the second and third opportunities followed one after another.
Later, when I got really into it, I found myself transforming into a mayfly without even realizing it, swimming freely among the groups and reaping huge profits when they weren't looking!
Two days passed quickly.
Lin Shan sensed something different; his understanding of the void was indeed different from before, like a sudden enlightenment after the clouds had parted.
Similarly, no matter how many Void Mayflies he captures, his progress in the Void will be negligible.
"The spatial laws inherent in Void Mayflies are limited. If you absorb too much, it will just be a repetitive accumulation in the later stages, which is meaningless. So we need to change our target."
This time, the Spirit Master used the Star-Probing Needle to pierce the space fiercely! Suddenly, the space made a cracking sound, like a hole being pierced through porcelain. Countless cracks spread in all directions, and then a mysterious place was opened up in the center.
"It used to be the subsurface, now it's the microsphere! Go on, you'll find what you're looking for, but be careful!"
Without a word, Lin Shan leaped into the void with his primordial spirit.
What came into view was a swarm of purple spear spiders. Instead of being afraid of the stranger, they rushed forward fiercely, enveloping his soul in a massive wave!
"The void creatures here have become much more intelligent and have developed a sense of territory. If we're not careful, their primordial spirits could be damaged, making it much harder to break through to the Void Realm then."
Then the words of the Spirit Master drifted in from outside.
Lin Shan was too preoccupied to respond at this moment. He was surrounded by layers upon layers of Void Spear Spiders, having already disturbed their nest and alerted countless Void creatures in the distance, who were now rushing over.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such danger in the void. His opponent was able to cooperate and manipulate space, isolating him from the outside world and stripping him of his spatial abilities!
In other words, if he doesn't eliminate the void creature in front of him, his primordial spirit won't even be able to return to his physical body, and he might never be able to return after his spiritual journey!
And the opponent's saliva is even more terrible, containing void poison and extremely corrosive properties, which will turn this reckless man who dares to trespass into their nest into a hearty meal!
"Get out of here!"
Lin Shan suddenly stood up, his vast divine energy instantly spreading out. After trying various methods, he discovered that the only thing effective against these Void Spear Spiders was the Myriad Phases Star Flame.
Under the raging fire, these disgusting creatures hurriedly scattered and fled, their bodies ablaze with flames. In an instant, the spatial passage was filled with firelight, burning all the way to the farthest reaches.
Looking at himself, he saw a tattered suit of armor hanging on his body.
Tooth marks, venom, and scratches were everywhere, and the pitted and uneven surface was heartbreaking to see; it almost broke on the spot!
"My Deep Blue Yuan Kai, you almost destroyed one of my Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures?"
Lin Shan gasped. In just a short breath, the armor was gnawed into a mess. Its original outer blood skin had long been consumed, and it had even triggered the Nirvana mechanism, being dissolved by the venom.
If I had been just a fraction of a second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
At this moment, there were also more than a dozen Void Spear Spiders that he had just burned to death or injured, lying nearby helplessly struggling unconsciously. Lin Shan took this opportunity to collect them all.
Without his divine energy to support them, the flames on the spear spiders in the distance were gradually extinguished, and then a new wave of frenzy swept in again!
He had learned his lesson this time and dared not let the other party get close. He directly spread out the Myriad Manifestations Star Flame and started burning the void creatures from a distance.
After burning over a dozen rounds and collecting over a hundred corpses, he had no choice but to retreat outside, as his divine energy was being consumed too severely in the void, and a single spiritual sea was proving insufficient.
"If things continue like this, the Microcosm will run out of spiritual energy to recover, and I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to use my own resources!"
He came to his senses and was slightly startled.
When the Void Spirit Ancestor saw him return unharmed, carrying so many Void Spear Spider corpses, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything and turned back to continue meditating and resting.
Lin Shan noticed that this Void Realm Grandmaster was constantly taking out pills, seemingly not too worried about the consumption of them.
After all, he was once the master of a great spiritual realm, so it's understandable that he was very wealthy.
He also brought a lot of supplements from the lower realm. Not to mention the spirit stones, which were piled up like mountains and could not be counted, there were also all kinds of spiritual herbs and pills. At least in the short term, there was no need to worry about recovery.
After resting, he refined all the Void Spear Spiders with spiritual fire and obtained some more spatial crystals. The laws contained within them were even more profound, which took him quite a while to digest.
After securing this round of benefits, the Spirit Master activated the Star-Probing Needle again, leading him once more into the Void Spear Spider's lair!
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past six months, Lin Shan has been holed up inside the cabin, with the three patriarchs taking turns activating the Star-Searching Needle for him, and then letting him travel in spirit to search for the spatial crystals inside those void creatures.
Not to mention the many hardships and difficulties he encountered, the sheer amount of time and effort required to replenish his spiritual sea alone consumed a full 30% of his worth!
In the end, the result was good. His understanding of the void improved by more than one level, and he was even able to exchange a few blows with the three patriarchs!
Of course, we don't know if they released water.
Ancestor Yanling finished his work and temporarily returned the Star-Probing Needle to him.
"I see you've almost reached the point of understanding the void. We can no longer help you now. We need to conserve our full strength to deal with any unforeseen circumstances!"
"What you don't know is that after more than half a year of coordination, the external universe alliance has finally formed a joint fleet of major worlds and started a large-scale investigation of us."
"We have now located our approximate position using astronomical sounding waves, and our course is locked onto the debris of the space war. This hideout won't be able to remain hidden for much longer."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shan immediately sensed the critical situation.
"What about the research on the Kongtong Realm? Has there been any breakthrough progress?"
"Have."
The three patriarchs nodded, giving him a clear answer.
"We have indeed discovered many coordinates of the Kongtong Realm that have appeared in the last hundred years, and have even made a judgment on its next trajectory. We are just waiting for a final comprehensive verification. Once successful, we will set sail immediately to search for it. There must be no delay!"
Just then, a loud shout came from outside.
"Oh no, Master! Chaos has broken out outside! You must go and see!" (End of Chapter)
