Chapter 494: Cang Feng Eldritch World (2)
Wu Yuan was stunned. So that was how they did it.
The methods used by Bloodforge Spacetime to teleporting countless immortal cultivators involved a higher spatial dimension beyond the Vacuum Spatial Layer?
No wonder, even though countless worlds were separated by hundreds of millions or even billions of light years, they could simultaneously land in the Bloodforge Spacetime.
It truly was an incredible divine ability.
"The seven major factions of the macrocosm each have numerous astral teleportation arrays linking between their vast territories," Astral Monarch Hou Qu explained.
"However, there are no direct teleportation arrays connecting different major factions."
"And the highest spatial dimension that these astral teleportation arrays reach is only comparable to mine," Astral Monarch Hou Qu said proudly.
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
He still didn\'t fully understand the significance of traversing higher spatial dimensions. However, he realized that just based on travel speed alone, Astral Monarch Hou Qu was likely a very special existence among the countless Astral Monarchs in the Greenridge Macrocosm.
At the very least, once he slipped into the Vacuum Spatial Layer, ordinary Astral Monarchs wouldn\'t be able to enter after him, let alone find him. They could forget about fighting or killing him.
"As you gradually break through to higher spatial dimensions, space will continuously contract," Astral Monarch Hou Qu said, looking at Wu Yuan. "However, in any higher spatial dimension, even in the Fragmentary Spatial Layer, no matter can be created."
"Matter only originates from the Material Spatial Layer."
"So, whether it\'s for breeding life, forging treasures, adventuring, or battling, everything takes place within the Material Spatial Layer," Astral Monarch Hou Qu explained.
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
Higher spatial dimensions sounded mystical, but all of them had their foundations in the Material Spatial Layer. That dimension was the foundation of all things, the origin.
"Haha, Wu Yuan, I’m telling you all this just to broaden your horizons," Astral Monarch Hou Qu chuckled. "Once you comprehend the Law of Space, everything will naturally become clear."
"In the future, you might even be able to step into the Vacuum Spatial Layer on your own," Astral Monarch Hou Qu laughed.
Wu Yuan could only muster a wry smile.
That was something even ordinary Astral Monarchs couldn\'t achieve.
"Focus on your meditation for now. We’re still billions of light-years from our destination, so this trip will take over a day," Astral Monarch Hou Qu continued, "I\'ll call you when we\'re close."
"Understood." Wu Yuan nodded.
He immediately sat down in lotus position.
He was surrounded by nothingness, complete darkness, and profound silence, but Wu Yuan knew that Astral Monarch Hou Qu was rapidly advancing through the higher spatial dimension with him.
Crossing billions of light years in just a day or two? Even the thought of it was simply mind-boggling.
Higher spatial dimension? Continuous contraction of space? Wu Yuan pondered, However, the concept of voidrealms and spiritual transmissions are equally mystical.
The Bloodforge Immortal Voidrealm was able to effortlessly connect all beings inhabiting the territory of the Bloodforge Devil Hall, spanning billions of light years.
Countless beings from millions of divisions communicating without any delay, what a marvel.
Likewise, the distance between my two true selves keeps growing, but their connection remains unhindered. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
He couldn\'t understand it!
The more he learned, the more Wu Yuan felt that this vast heaven and earth held too many unimaginable mysteries, with laws of matter operating beyond comprehension.
Before today, Wu Yuan had never heard of higher spatial dimensions!
Time to train. Even in this Vacuum Spatial Layer, my perception of the Dao is not hindered at all. Wu Yuan sensed the essence of the Law of Celestial Bodies.
He began to meditate quietly.
Redmoon Immortal Continent, Dragon Star Immortal Sect, Dragon Star, High Immortal Nan Yin\'s residence.
"What?" A look of stunned disbelief crossed High Immortal Nan Yin\'s features. "You’re saying, an Astral Monarch from the Cang Feng Eldritch World arrived and took your body refiner self away?"
"And they told you it was a deal between the Cang Feng Eldritch World and the Bloodforge Devil Hall? They are sending you to the Cang Feng Eldritch World?"
"And an Eldritch Sovereign will accept you as his disciple?" High Immortal Nan Yin fired off a series of questions.
"Yes, this is all true." Wu Yuan\'s qi refiner self nodded repeatedly.
Not long after his body refiner self left with Astral Monarch Hou Qu, his qi refiner self decided to reveal the truth to his master after some deliberation. Thus, he hurriedly paid a visit to High Immortal Nan Yin.
"Did he mention which Eldritch Sovereign?" High Immortal Nan Yin quickly asked.
Wu Yuan shook his head.
A thought crossed his mind: it seemed there were multiple Eldritch Sovereigns within the Cang Feng Eldritch World?
"Master, what should I do?" Wu Yuan asked.
"Let me think, let me think," High Immortal Nan Yin responded quickly, even someone of his stature was momentarily dazed.
The news had struck him too hard.
Wu Yuan\'s body refiner self had astounded everyone during the Bloodforge Battle by being directly bestowed the title of Golden Core Bloodforge King. His performance and feats had spread throughout the upper echelons of the Silvermist Immortal Nation.
High Immortal Nan Yin was well aware of this and had his own speculations.
For instance, he anticipated that an Astral Monarch would accept Wu Yuan\'s body refiner self as a disciple, or that Wu Yuan\'s body refiner self would go to the devil hall\'s headquarters for training.
Instead, Wu Yuan ended up drawing the attention of an Eldritch Sovereign from the Cang Feng Eldritch World. High Immortal Nan Yin never saw this coming.
That was an Eldritch Sovereign! A being on par with the leader of the entire Eternal Sun Immortal World, ruling over eight hundred eldritch divine nations. His brilliance spread across billions of light years of spacetime.
"Give me a moment," High Immortal Nan Yin suddenly closed his eyes.
Wu Yuan quietly waited at the side, pondering the situation as well.
Being accepted as a disciple of an Eldritch Sovereign was an unparalleled opportunity, so Wu Yuan agreed without a hint of hesitation. Missing this chance would most likely be his biggest regret for an awfully long time.
But what about High Immortal Nan Yin?
For decades, High Immortal Nan Yin had been nothing but dedicated to his development, offering genuine guidance, and the two had a deep bond. Thus, Wu Yuan didn\'t want to see Master Nan Yin saddened.
Time trickled by.
A full fifteen minutes later.
"Disciple," High Immortal Nan Yin opened his eyes, a flicker of surprise deep within them as he gazed at Wu Yuan.
"Master."
"I have just consulted with a... powerful Senior I know," High Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly.
"Senior?" Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
For Master Nan Yin to call someone a powerful Senior, they had to be at least an Archimmortal, possibly even an Astral Lord.
"This Senior is an Astral Monarch," High Immortal Nan Yin said.
Wu Yuan was stunned.
Astral Monarch? His master actually knew a super existence like an Astral Monarch and could see them at such short notice?
“What? It’s fine for an Astral Monarch to come pick you up, but I can’t know one?” High Immortal Nan Yin glared.
Wu Yuan smiled wryly, “Master, that’s not what I meant.”
“Let\'s get to the point.” High Immortal Nan Yin\'s expression turned serious again. “This Senior is trustworthy and has connections with the super powerhouses in the Bloodforge Devil Hall. I’ve told him about your situation.”
“Based on his advice, I have consolidated three recommendations for you.”
Wu Yuan listened intently.
“First, your qi refiner self should never participate in any future Bloodforge Battle.” High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head. “The reason the Bloodforge Devil Hall sent you away is only partly because of the Cang Feng Eldritch World. The other part has to do with your performance during the last Bloodforge Battle.”
“If you join the Bloodforge again, it will be dangerous.”
“Never participate in the Bloodforge Battle?” Wu Yuan was stunned.
He didn’t understand.
In Wu Yuan’s plan, given another century of cultivation, his qi refiner self would probably reach the seventh-stage Amethyst Cradle phase. He could definitely join the next Amethyst Cradle Bloodforge Battle.
But according to his master, this path was now cut off.
“Second, unless absolutely necessary, never reveal the connection between your two true selves,” High Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly.
“Preservation of life comes first. Unless that Eldritch Sovereign sees through it, do not reveal it.”
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
This was also something he had considered. If he could avoid exposing this secret, then he would.
“Thirdly, from now on, you can gather any intelligence as you see fit,” High Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly, his gaze locked onto Wu Yuan. “But under no circumstances should you ask me about any information related to your body refiner self.”
“From now on, I will only address you as Li Xia and will never inquire about your body refiner self again. This is for the best.”
“Your two true selves, apart from your own consciousness, must be completely distinct in every other aspect,” High Immortal Nan Yin emphasized with utmost seriousness.
Wu Yuan was momentarily stunned.
His master’s words seemed unusually grave, as if he had sensed that Wu Yuan wasn’t taking this seriously enough.
“You foolish boy,” High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head and sighed. “The Cang Feng Eldritch World you’re about to enter is nothing like our Eternal Sun Immortal World.”
Wu Yuan froze.
“Do you know what are the major factions in Greenridge?” High Immortal Nan Yin asked.
“Greenridge Immortal World, Eternal Sun Immortal World, Bloodforge Devil Hall, Cang Feng Eldritch World, Voltari Temple, Desolation Divine Court, and the Eight Mountains Alliance,” Wu Yuan rattled off in one breath.
All this intel was provided by Astral Monarch Hou Qu.
“Correct,” High Immortal Nan Yin nodded. “But do you know the distinctions among these seven major factions?”
Wu Yuan shook his head lightly.
“Among the seven major factions, only the Greenridge Immortal World is a native major faction, and the largest of the seven,” High Immortal Nan Yin explained.
“The other six are all backed by top-tier major factions from the river of space and time. For instance, our Eternal Sun Immortal World and Bloodforge Devil Hall both originate from the Taiyuan Divine Court.”
Wu Yuan nodded in understanding.
These were details he already knew.
“The Cang Feng Eldritch World, ruling over eight hundred eldritch divine nations, originates from the Eldritch Court; the Voltari Temple, ruling over a thousand immortal nations, originates from the Immortal Court.” High Immortal Nan Yin declared solemnly, “These two powers, like our Eternal Sun Immortal World, are second only to the Greenridge Immortal World in scale.”
Wu Yuan listened intently.
Among the seven major factions of the macrocosm, the Greenridge Immortal World was the mightiest, controlling nearly forty percent of the spacetime.
The Eternal Sun Immortal World, Cang Feng Eldritch World, and Voltari Temple were closely matched, each holding over ten percent of the territories.
As for the Bloodforge Devil Hall, Desolation Divine Court, and the Eight Mountains Alliance, their overall strength was significantly weaker, occupying only a few hundred immortal nations each.
“The other five powers, though competitive, are relatively peaceful.” High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head and sighed, “Only the Cang Feng Eldritch World and Voltari Temple are different.”
“The Eldritch Court and Immortal Court behind them have been engaged in a relentless war through the ages, with each conflict shaking the river of space and time.”
“The Cang Feng Eldritch World and Voltari Temple also clash within the macrocosm.”
“The great war of a hundred thousand years ago engulfed the spacetime of over a thousand immortal nations, with the two powers fighting with insane ferocity, and countless Archimmortals and Archeldritch dying in the process.” High Immortal Nan Yin lamented, “Even many Astral Monarchs perished.”
