493 Infinite Star Sea (1/2)
”You really stay up to date with the latest news. I'm indeed going to be a king, King of Wuyang. It's my wife who told me the news. You should have known about it before I did!”
”Recently, everything in Jin is in a mess and its all thanks to your father-in-law. I thought that he would not have been able to turn his life around. But I never knew that he had such a secret advantage and was able to even up the odds. He is really a skillful schemer!”
”Hey, what did my father-in-law do to make you give up the Azure Secret Area?”
”Regardless how amazing the Azure Secret Area was previously, it is lost to us now. Even if we turn Divine Wind Palace over, we will get nothing. We fell out with Divine Wind Palace because we felt we had been wronged and wanted to avenge our defeat. But now things are different. Your father-in-law managed to get the half of the Void Map in one direct swoop!”
”The Void Map? What's that?”
”The Void Map, just as its name implies, is a map of the endless void!”
”What? A map of the endless void?” Zhou Bao was immediately intrigued. In his mind, the endless void was the same as the universe from his previous life. It was infinite and extremely vast. He had seen the map of the universe in some science fiction and back then it was known as the star map. Had the experts managed to come up with a drawing of the void in this world?
Looking at Zhou Bao's astonished expression, Wang She laughed suddenly and his face had the look that said: ”I knew you'd be totally surprised by this information.” ”This so-called Void Map is not referring to the complete map of the void but the map of a small part of the void. In antiquity times, there were many Void Maps, which had been drawn by the Ancient Mighty Experts while they were traveling in the void. Some of these maps are extremely valuable, but some are totally worthless!”
”Why?”
”The void is so big that it does not come as a surprise anymore. Even the area that the Ancient Mighty Experts and the legendary 99 Emperors had explored was just a tiny part of the whole void. In this small area, some places are unoccupied. Some are filled with worthless meteorites and some possess superlatively amazing spiritual qi, which is superior to that in the 33 Heavens. As long as we can find such a place, naturally, it can cover the loss of Azure Heaven. But the risks of accidents are high in the boundless void. There are even places that seem vacant but are actually death traps. If experts at the Lord of Heaven Realm can end up dying there, what about ordinary Individual Immortals and Genuine Immortals? Furthermore, most parts of the void have no spiritual qi and pneuma, so Genuine Immortals or Human Immortals are unable to stay there for a long time. The void gets its name because most of the void is empty and there's no place for anyone to set foot in it. Therefore, once anyone gets lost in the void, it is as good as being dead. Thus, if anyone wants to explore the void, the Void Map is a must. But the Void Map has been lost for a long time already. Even those which have been preserved are some residual parts only. Although your father-in-law offered us half of the Void Map, it is only another portion of the part we five biggest sects have in our possession. The whole part is the map of the Infinite Star Sea.”
Zhou Bao appeared to be in a daze now.
The Star Area and Infinite Star Sea!
Although he had long suspected that this world was a huge planet, he had never been able to prove that. Even if he had the Divine Sense and Dharma power to travel around the void, and had occasionally entered into the void just to have the experience, such a void travel could be achieved only by tearing the void apart. How would he be able to have a clear view of the world he was in when there were layers of spaces and space rifts in between?
It was a known fact that the Law of Space was extremely mysterious. Due to its countless layers, it looked like many rooms of all sizes, which came with both thick and thin, hard and soft walls. Divine Senses such as the Three Realms Division and Infinite Realms Teleportation were all created after going through many trials and errors by the ancient experts and necromancers over the years. They were like formulas that you could use freely even if you did not understand the theory. A simple example would be: one plus one equals two. Even a three-year-old child knew this formula. As long as you knew the formula, you could use the simplest mathematical method to calculate the result. However, no one had ever been able to do prove the theory.
The Three Realms Division was a method for traveling about in a space, for example, in a room. Although it involved the transformation between different spatial layers, it was as simple as the mathematical method ”one plus one equals two”. Therefore, even though Zhou Bao did not know the exact principle, he still knew how to use it.
