Chapter 6086, Space vs Void

Author: Silavin

What was Space? What was the Void?

Yang Ji sat there, cross-legged, asking these questions as he continuously tore Space apart, and waited for Space Principles to nd his destruction.

He did not focus on ti, in fact, ti felt illusory at this point. Even his Sister’s voice no longer rang in his ear. It might be due to his intense focus or it might be her also too focused to contact him. Regardless, it seed like all sound was drowned out as only the tearing and nding of Space were in his eyes.

Yang Ji also tried to enter and exit those Void Cracks, using his Divine Sense to focus in on every detail, in case his eyes missed a single detail.

The first thing he noticed was that his whole entire room was completely isolated. It was not just Space itself that was isolated, but the Void as well.

If he were to travel within the Void for a distance and co out, he would always appear back in his room. Though the position might be slightly different, it does not change the fact that he could now no longer leave the room through the Void.

Naturally, he was aware that only the Heavenly Demon Queen would do this. In fact, to make it such that ti could no longer be seen through the window, when he tried to gaze outside, it was pitch black.

[There must have been a reason she did this.] Yang Ji concluded, trusting the little worm that he had picked up.

Following this, he would spread out his Divine Sense into the Void while he himself would remain in the room. There, he would use his Divine Sense to pierce through the Void, while he tried to locate where the openings would appear in his room.

The process was long and tedious. Every few tres, he would pierce through the Void. He also did so in every direction. He could not understand how the distance of a tre in the Void would translate to re nanotres in his room while sotis translating to a tre itself . So, he continued to spread his Divine Sense through the Void at a breakneck pace, continuously piercing.

This was the mystery and abstruseness of Space. How does distance in the Void compare to the distance outside? What made this difference? Why were there weak points between the two dinsions and strong points?

Once Yang Ji started to wonder about these things, the more he felt his knowledge over the Dao of Space had been truly superficial. Certainly, he had high mastery when compared to others of this world, that no student in the academy could compare to, where teachers were on par with him and his Sister. Yet, were they not all just stepping onto the mysteries of the Dao of Space?

Right now, he felt that the difference between him and the other students was ten steps. While he and Li Wu Yi were but one step.

A single step, yet one might take more than a hundred years to cross it. That was just how profound the Dao of Space was. Yet, Yang Ji and his Sister had already crossed over more than one of such steps to reach where they were. They managed to do so in their twelve years of living no less.

Right now, Yang Ji was able to ‘see’ the further steps ahead. He was also able to ‘see’ another path. He was still unable to see its end, like the one he was on right now, but this path was certainly further than what Li Wu Yi was on. In fact, it was further than the path they, everyone of the 3,000 Worlds, was on. He could also keenly feel that this path was sothing his Father was about to step onto but had not yet crossed over.

Furthermore, even though he could ‘see’ that path, could not step onto it right now. After all, that path was not connected to the one he was on.

His Father might have been further ahead along their current path, but since even he had not crossed it, as the pinnacle of this world, that must an this path was sothing that was not of this world.

[So, that’s the True Dao of Space…] Yang Ji could not help but comnt in his heart. He was both in awe and aggrieved. Why? Because it felt like he had been on the wrong path all along. All the effort into this current path, was it not a dead end?

However, he was also in awe because this new path was sothing he had never seen before. Sothing truly incomprehensible and deep. It felt like this was the new adventure that he sought for.

He even felt that if he could move onto that path, he might even be able to surpass his Father. After all, if his Father stood at the peak of the current path, that was it, the end. If he continued onto this current path, at most he would stand by his Father’s side as an equal. He would never be able to surpass him.

When Yang Ji ‘looked’ back at the steps he could already take, he was even tempted to start over. Tempted to abandon everything he knew about the Dao of Space and start from scratch.

However, at that mont, seemingly sensing that his Dao Heart was wavering, a voice sounded in his mind.

“You will find yourself perpetually unable to traverse that divide, even were you to comnce anew from the very foundation.”

Naturally, it was the Heavenly Demon Queen. Her voice sounded cold but certain.

“Then what must I do to cross this divide?” Yang Ji asked back but there was no response. It was uncertain whether it was because she could not answer or chose not to for his own benefit.

Either way, this was the first ti Yang Ji had felt his Dao Heart wavering. He mocked himself, [And I thought others were easily affected. It seed like I am no different…]

Seeing how starting from scratch would most likely do more harm than good, Yang Ji turned back to ‘look forward’. He would not just concentrate on this one task, which was to separate Space itself from the Void and link up his room to Yang Xu’s.

…

Ti continued to pass.

Yang Ji did not know if a month or years had passed. But finally, he has struck onto a different point within the Void, which opened up within the sa place within his room.

…

More points were uncovered in the Void that lead to the sa point in his room…

Yang Ji could not help but draw a map in his mind. But that only caused him more confusion. Then, he soon realised sothing… [Wait… is the Void… moving?]

[How? The Void can move? When did it even start moving? How did I not realise this before?] Yang Ji fell into deep contemplation. He could clearly feel that there were points that had moved a little compared to when he had first pierced through the Void. The result was also slightly different.

It had to be noted that the difference was not much. In fact, it was barely noticeable. However, for Yang Ji, who was trying to have two points in the Void match up in his room, where even the slightest change would yield a different result, this made it obvious.

[Why had Father never told about this before? Wait, could it be that even Father had not realised this?] Yang Ji could not help but think back on all the basics, everything his Father had taught him. There was never any ntion of this. Not even his Mother, a Phoenix of the Ninth Order, who instinctively mastered the Dao of Space, had ntioned this phenonon before.

This basically overturned everything he knew about the Void. If it could move, did it an that the Void was a living being? If not, then how could it move? Or, was Space always moving? Drifting through the Void?

More and more questions pop up in his head, yet Yang Ji had not even found a single answer to them. Now, more than ever, he felt like he needed to study the True Dao of Space to truly understand all of this.

Still, he had proven one thing. It was that Space itself was not directly tied to the Void. The two planes exist separate from each other. In short, the Heavenly Demon Queen was not wrong. It should be possible for him to manipulate Space itself without the Void.

Once he realised this, Yang Ji got even more engrossed.

Mapping out the Void? Creating Void Cracks? He might as well live in the Void as Void Cracks appeared all around him.

Furniture? Artifacts? None of those mattered to him right now. Void Cracks would appear anywhere and everywhere. Once one closed up, he would open another one up. If furniture disappeared? Well, he would be able to find them later in the Void if they did not get torn to smithereens.

In fact, Yang Ji had never realised how slowly Void Cracks closed up. So, while he opened up Void Cracks, he even tried to close them so that he could open more up.

He did so repeatedly and tried to comprehend the difference between the Void, Space, their Principles and the Dao.
