A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 65: Void 2 (1/2)
Experi with the void was the best way to comprehend spatial Method Power!
After all, spatial power existed everywhere in the void And every strand of void energy was imbued with copious amounts of spatial Method Power
Su Chen was just like a child in a toy shop He furiously analyzed his surroundings, using his microscopic eye and consciousness crystal ild abandon This frenzied state of focus caused his consciousness power to drastically increase as he continued to experiment with the void
Even Diomedes was amazed by Su Chen’s tenacity
The Astrals were an incredibly studious race They spent al lifespan mired in research However, the Astrals priical sciences and consciousness power Their study of Method Power and physical properties was, by coence and effort was the same As such, Diomedes was reminded of his former self when he looked at Su Chen
On this day, Su Chen continued to elevate his understanding of spatial Method Power just like usual
At this point, just a bit less than half of his body could be extended out into the void, accepting the void’s baptism
Unfortunately, he would need to withdraw very quickly after doing so
And after returning to normal space, the parts of his body that had been destroyed by the void space would gradually begin to recover
Dio very quickly I’m amazed that you’re already able to adapt to the void”
Su Chen, however, shook his head “It’s not fast enough Diomedes, how do you think void creatures are able to survive in the void?”
“They were originally a part of the void in the first place,” Diomedes said matter of factly “When flesh and blood is mixed with spatial power, it is officially ‘accepted’ by the void, which is why those creatures are not corroded by the void You, on the other hand, are not a void creature, so the void does not recognize you This is why the void saps away at your life until all that reanic components that are allowed to exist within the void”
Su Chen nodded in agree So another way to think about it is that there is some kind of unique substance that allows the void creatures to be accepted by the void, right?”
When the Void Seahorse, which wasn’t far away, heard Su Chen’s words, it suddenly straightened its neck out of curiosity
After Dioht the Void Seahorse how to speak, it was also capable of understanding their conversations
Diomedes nodded “Yes, but the prerequisite is that you can find it…… Oh, right I forgot that you have the Arcanist’s eye”
“I also have lance at the Void Seahorse and said, “How about we strike a deal? Let me borrow soantly spun around and ignored Su Chen’s offer
The island was too sht, it would definitely be destroyed So since Su Chen couldn’t attack the seahorse, he could only try and resolve this issue peacefully
He glanced at Diomedes “Help me convince it”
Su Chen had been nore the Void Seahorse Diomedes, on the other hand, had basically become the Void Seahorse’s teacher, so their relationshi+p was not bad
Diomedes chuckled “Why should I help you?”
“You want to return to the real world sooner rather than later, right?”
“I want to be free,” Diomedes said
“That’s impossible” Su Chen immediately refused Dioreatly, but you’re not irreplaceable Without you, all it will mean is that it’ll take more time If you help me, I can promise to plant you on the most beautiful peak of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain You will be allowed to e, but you will not be able to leave Ten Thousand Swords Mountain”
“Well…… Fine, I accept” Diootiate any further He knew that Su Chen wasn’t wrong
Diomedes then went off to convince the Void Seahorse
After soreed to let Su Chen extract a vial of its blood
With the Void Seahorse’s blood, Su Chen’s understanding of spatial th along with it Soon after, he was able to ih he wasn’t able to reh to completely leave the safety of the island and circle it once
He was like a castaway stuck on a deserted island as furiously learning how to swim so that, one day, he would be able to swim across the vast sea and return ho to traverse the void wasto swim across the ocean
Today, Su Chen flew a couple of laps around the island before returning
Upon reentering the island, Su Chen asked, “How long?”
Diolass and replied, “One flip”
This hourglass had been constructed ad-hoc on the island and wasn’t very precise, but one of its flips represented roughly a quarter of an hour
A satisfied soing to go somewhere further to take a look,” he said “Tolass
Diomedes wasn’t surprised
The fact that Su Chen could circle the island co further
However, Dioet too close to the chaotic flows of spatial energy You aren’t capable of handling those yet”
“I know”
The next day
Su Chen left the safety of the island, heading off into the void
Void energy rippled over his body, causing it to faintly flicker
The spatial Method Power that he had co him from the destructive spatial power of the void In addition, Su Chen’s research had reached the point where he could now produce a void Origin Substance that counteracted the fluctuations of spatial power that he wasn’t yet capable of handling otherwise This was the Origin Substance that he had extracted frohteningly destructive power of the void space But because he hadn’t yet ed to extract the bloodline itself, he was incapable of personally producing this Origin Substance But with the Void Seahorse stuck in the island, Su Chen was able to get enough of the void Origin Substance by just refining its blood every so often
