Chapter 490: Spacetime Concepts (1/2)

The [Voidwalking Manual]…

At first, Raven didn't understand why his Master would give this to him. He understood why he gave him the [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] but as for the former? He didn't really get it.

It wasn't until he reviewed the memories about the manual that he understood why this technique was a necessity for him to cultivate.

According the Geezer, Spacetime Laws is broken down into five different concepts, much like how it goes for most laws. These concepts are: Continuum, Parallelism, Individuality, Timeline and Singularity.

Based on the minimal information that Geezer left him, the first concept of Spacetime Laws - which is Continuum, allows him to sense the very fabrics of Spacetime Void itself.

The Spacetime Void is a unique existence that is not meant to be casually invaded or tampered due to several reasons, the most important of which is because its too dangerous. The Spacetime Void is what connects the past, present and future. Its very existence is a necessity for all living beings and one wrong move will cause into true annihilation. Anyone who's killed by the Spacetime Void is legitimately erased from existence. None will discover traces of them be it their past, present or future or other planes of reality.

Unlike the erosion of time, which Raven describes as 'a fearsome and unescapable gale that erodes everything it passes through, taking a piece of their own time in the process.' The erosion of Spacetime Void is much more dangerous. It doesn't only erode time, it erodes a person's very existence in all forms of reality.

As someone who gained enlightenment about Spacetime Laws, Raven would eventually harness the power to sense this place and quite possibly traverse it. However, even with his qualifications, the amount of time he's allowed to traverse the Spacetime Void would be extremely limited.

This is where the [Voidwalking Manual] comes into play. With this technique, he'll be able strengthen his body in a unique way that allows him to traverse the Spacetime Void in a more safer terms, it would also allow him to go beyond the regular limits of his travel. Of course, the stronger he cultivates this techniques, the better. At some point, it would even be possible for him to traverse the Spacetime Void long enough to go back in time of his birth.

Currently, Raven's training at Eden. He's currently submerged in the floating nebula of Equinox Waters while learning the Voidwalking Manual.

The technique was surprisingly difficult to memorize due to its complicated nature. Actually, he could even tell that anyone who isn't at least a dual cultivator would not be able to cultivate this technique at all. The pre-requisites of the technique are extremely steep and demanding. If it wasn't for Raven possessing Cosmic Energy, he would have to wait a little longer before thinking about cultivating this technique.

Thanks to his lucky encounters however, Raven passed the initial requirements with flying colors. Now, along with the help of Equinox Waters, he'll be able to charge directly onto the 3rd Stage of Voidwalking Manual, allowing his body to resist the erosion of Spacetime Void longer and securing his safety.

Cultivating the Voidwalking Manual didn't produce any noticeable changes on Raven's body. In fact, it's effects are hardly visible at all. If Raven didn't tell anyone, no one would realize that he's cultivating it. In fact, not even others who knows Spacetime Laws would notice it.

Somehow, it took Raven two whole weeks to reach the 3rd Stage of the Voidwalking Manual. Just like what was mentioned earlier, the effects were hardly noticeable but Raven could clearly feel something changed within him. The feeling was exquisite and fleeting, yet its there. The feeling gave him an impression of security. He felt as if, for some reason, he was untouchable. It was quite profound.

Raven took a brief rest after that. He used two days worth of time to sleep, restoring his mental stability and getting rid of the almost non-existent fatigue on his body. He wasn't exhausted, just being extra careful since the next step of his training is pretty much an uncharted territory.

After resting, Raven went back into cultivation and the focus of his training was his Spacetime Laws.
