As Xue Ying might seem to be grabbing on to the black book, yet in reality, he was already entirely immersed in this unfathomable illusory realm world absolute art created by Dark World Master. Creating an immense world for the sake of a killing move—such an idea was novel. He even created an absolute art based on this idea. This ‘Dark World Master’ was absolutely a talented person.
There were many outstanding talents across the hunmongous population living in the five great sacred worlds and the primal chaos void. There were even several Unity realm experts who had gotten through the seventh level of Star Pagoda. Some had even broken through to the final realm after entering closed-door cultivation in the sacred world for the first time–Swordmaster from the Great Void Heaven Temple!
To these geniuses, Xue Ying had great respect for them.
‘Dark World…’ Xue Ying’s had just received the detailed information of this absolute art in his mind when he felt himself becoming absorbed into it.
It was the indubitably true that the easiest way to alter or create a world would be to use the illusory realm!
Because illusions were easy to alter.
Xue Ying’s ‘Dao of Mirage’ was similar. Changing the real world was extremely difficult, but he could arrange how the Mirage would turn out to be. First, Xue Ying would create the Mirage World! Then, he would turn the ‘Mirage into reality’. After all, the Mirage encompassed reality, and turning it into reality… was something Xue Ying could easily accomplish at his current realm. He could already convert part of the Mirage into reality when he was at the Opening realm, much less now!
Creating a Mirage first before constructing a perfect world as a killing move. After that, turn it into reality! And the killing move would descend!
‘Dark Bubble.’ Revelations began flashing across the mind of Xue Ying.
Of the three Daos, Xue Ying’s talent in the Dao of Mirage was the highest. At this moment as he was studying this Dark World absolute art, all sorts of revelations and insights had formed immediately.
“Pavilion Master Yu Qi.” Xue Ying suddenly opened his eyes and turned to Pavilion Master Yu Qi by the side.
“Elder Dong Bo.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi said. He looked at this Elder Dong Bo who had become engrossed in the absolute art the moment Xue Ying received it, causing him to feel slightly puzzled. After all, it was a Unity realm genius who wrote this absolute art, and there should not be many pieces of information provided within. Receiving this inheritance should be quick, yet why was Elder Dong Bo stuck there immersed in this art for so long? Nevertheless, he did not dare disturb Xue Ying.
“Quickly bring me over to the best cultivation room in your Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion.” Xue Ying ordered immediately, “Remember, the best one.”
“Yes.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi’s eyes brightened, “Please follow me.”
“Sou.”
Even though the cultivation room in his courtyard was not bad, compared to the best cultivation room in Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion which specialized in trading, it was way too lacking!
“Origin ranked cultivation room.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi introduced the place as he brought Xue Ying over, “This is the best cultivation room in our Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion. This cultivation room is made using the ‘Qi Ya Incense Wood’. The Qi Ya Incense Wood will persistently release a fragrance that is really helpful to cultivation. A complete Qi Ya Incense Wood will emit fragrance for a total of 300 million years before it finishes and turns into trash. One will have to replace it with a new Qi Ya Incense Wood.”
“Thus, during most circumstances, the time in this origin ranked cultivation room is stopped.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi said, “Once a cultivator enters, time will regain its usual flow. The price of cultivating within… is 1,000 Origin World Rocks every 100 million years, and also one Origin World Rock per 100,000 years.”
“I understand.” Xue Ying nodded.
He had never considered cultivating for an extended period inside. If he were doing so, he would definitely return to the ‘Palace Hall of Time’. After all, Xue Ying would not waste so much of his time.
What he planned was to undergo a short period of cultivation!
Because this was his first time viewing the ‘Dark World’, Xue Ying had gained many flashes of inspiration. This was also the best chance for him to enter closed-door cultivation. Furthermore, Xue Ying decided to select the best cultivation room so as to turn these flashes of inspiration into comprehension and combat power!
One Origin World Rock for every 100,000 years was truly extravagant. But Xue Ying was willing to spend this amount.
“Is it possible for me to practice in the cultivation room too?” Xue Ying asked.
“As long as the power of the attack doesn’t surpass the Primal Chaos realm level, it’ll be fine.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi said, “The array in this cultivation room has been personally set by someone at the level of a Hall Master.”
“Mn.”
Within the Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion, there was a vast expanse of lake and a wooden cultivation room. It was just that time was stopped in the region where the room was located at.
“Please.” Pavilion Master Yu Qi said.
Xue Ying directly pushed the wooden door open. At that moment, the flow of time in the room regained its usual speed. After Xue Ying entered the room, the wooden door automatically closed up!
An extremely insipid fragrance pervaded the cultivation room, though it sufficed in letting Xue Ying feel comfortable. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating on the ‘Dark World’; he did not waste any time. With a ‘hua’, an illusory realm appeared in midair of this cultivation room. This world was entirely dark, and it contained countless mysterious patterns moving on it. The entire world was continuously changing.
Day passed by day.
In a restaurant not far away from Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion, there was a short and plump male who stayed here for a long period. The expression of ‘Forefather Black Loathe’s changed over time.
‘Why is he not coming out?’
‘According to what I know, the treasure convention should have ended half a month ago!’ Forefather Black Loathe felt anxious. Because Xue Ying’s void penetration was too fast, and he could travel to his residence from the Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion in the blink of an eye. As a result, Forefather Black Loathe had to maintain the highest form of alert since there was only an instance for him to intervene Xue Ying before he penetrated through the void!
But he had been maintaining this state of highest alert for one day, and then two days. Before he knew it, half a month had passed.
He did not dare to relax in this period of half a month, and Forefather Black Loathe was a Primal Chaos realm giant who had emerged at the earliest period before the destruction of the primitive Ancient Sacred World. Being forced to keep on guard for so long with this identity, he was full of grievances.
‘Return.’
Forefather Black Loathe did not stay in the restaurant anymore. He went back to the little courtyard he bought.
He no longer had the mood to maintain this highest state of alert. Instead, he just formed a strand of thought to envelop the surrounding of the region outside Seven Star Oceanic Pavilion and Xue Ying’s residence.
‘I don’t believe that he’ll stay inside forever.’ Forefather Black Loathe decided to wait until the moment Xue Ying goes out for a walk before acting. Time? He had plenty of it!
******
Xue Ying was indeed inspired by the “Dark World”. If one said that he had to spend quite an effort in training the Dao of Slaughter and Dao of Ripple, then he was cultivating the Dao of Mirage to his heart’s content!
Within the Qi Ya Incense Wood cultivation room.
Xue Ying who was seated cross-legged. There was a half-translucent dark world in the surrounding void. It was currently emitting a terrifying aura. Countless enigmatic imprints were revolving in this dark world.
‘I’m almost there.’
Xue Ying opened his eyes frowning.
He had already spent 70,000 years in this cultivation room, and had already comprehended the first style of the Dark World, the ‘Dark Bubble’. But as he comprehended more and more, he realized an issue! The Dark World he created must be one perfect entity to turn it into the ‘Dark Bubble’.
In order to reach a grand perfection entity, it would not be appropriate for him to use the ‘Mirage Law System’–based on the Dao of Mirage–to guide the other laws in forming a system.
He had to take an additional step!
He had to evolve the Mirage Law System into the ‘Mirage Origin’! Only when the Dao of Mirage had reached the ‘Mirage Origin’ level could his control of the Mirage reach grand perfection, and only then could he unleash the Dark Bubble.
Thus, it was a pre-requisite for him to reach the Unity realm in the Dao of Mirage to display the first style of the Dark World!
During this 70,000 years of cultivating the ‘Dark World’, he had comprehended many things which allowed him to inch closer to the ‘Mirage Origin’ level. He wanted to reach perfection and unity in one fell swoop! He desired to turn his Dao of Mirage into a Mirage Origin, yet he felt that he lacked that final bit which frustrated Xue Ying. How could he take that last step?
‘This final bottleneck.’ Xue Ying gritted his teeth.
‘I must try to break through it.’
Xue Ying flipped his hand, causing a crystal box to appear. This box was translucent, and he was able to see a violet fruit within. It was none other than the most precious material meant for aiding in cultivation, the ‘Supplementary Spiritual Fruit’.
In his original plan, he would first reach Unity realm in the Voidwalker system! Nevertheless, he had a newfound opportunity, when he got his hands on the “Dark World” absolute art. But to control the first style of the Dark World, the ‘Dark Bubble’, he had to reach unity in the Dao of Mirage. During cultivation, he would naturally inch closer to the Unity realm, and now, he had reached the final bottleneck stage.
This absolute art Dark World was beneficial and critical in improving his combat power.
He also had a great talent in the Mirage! There was also the ‘Qi Ya Incense Wood cultivation room’ which gave him the best environment for cultivation.
Now that he had reached the bottleneck, it was possible that Xue Ying might be stuck here for a long time before breaking through.
‘Time to use the Supplementary Spiritual Fruit.’ Xue Ying looked at the fruit in the crystal box in his hands.
The Supplementary Spiritual Fruit was extremely precious. Usually, only new golden-robed disciple would get it. It could not be bought.
But the highest level in the Great Void Heaven Temple had the qualifications to get it. Like the two Palace Masters, the Hall Masters and Inner Hall Elders, if they truly wanted it, they could get it. After becoming an Inner Hall Elder, Xue Ying had casually flipped through the cosmos ranked absolute arts, and many precious treasures could actually be exchanged with contribution points. A golden-robed disciple could only exchange for a limited range of treasures.
An Inner Hall Elder could trade for three Supplementary Spiritual Fruits at most in their entire life. Each required 600,000 contribution points.
They could even exchange for treasures that were better than the Supplementary Spiritual Fruit in aiding cultivation, and the price was naturally higher.
But precisely because of this, Xue Ying decided to use the Supplementary Spiritual Fruit! The stronger he was, the more treasures he had, and he would be able to acquire better materials than the Supplementary Spiritual Fruit.
‘Let me first sample it and feel the effects. Just this piece costs about 50 Origin World Rocks.’ Xue Ying opened the crystal box, bringing out the violet fruit. He bit off a mouth, and his eyes brightened. He continued biting a few times with sounds of ‘ka cha ka cha’ before entirely consuming this fruit.
