Chapter 293: Black Hole
Xiao Lin set aside Song Junlang’s issue for the ti being. After lunch, he reinvested his energy into another attempt at necromantic ditation. The idea was to enter ordinary ditation using his Miracle state and then eliminating the stars in that galaxy.
Although Xiao Lin’s efficiency had improved a bit, the process was still very cumberso. For Xiao Lin however, it could only be considered an unorthodox solution.
Once he entered his ditation world once again, the starry sky was as vast as before, with stars of all colors glimring all around his spirit. Since the Miracle state could not be maintained for too long, there was not a lot of ti for him to waste. He quickly began to target each area and carried out his plan to disconnect himself from those stars.
It was hard to grasp the flow of ti in the real world when Xiao Lin was inside the ditation world. He had no idea how much ti had passed. It could have been a dozen seconds, or perhaps even a few minutes. All of a sudden, he suddenly noticed a strange place in his ditation world—a completely blank area of sky had suddenly appeared.
It was very strange. Could it be the Milky Way? Probably not, as the place was created through connecting with the elents—it was a re fignt of Xiao Lin’s imagination. Due to the distribution of those elents, it was impossible for such an empty vacuum to appear. Furthermore, he had never discovered that unusual place during his usual ditation.
Rather than describing the place as one that Xiao Lin dominated, it was much more accurate to say that Xiao Lin’s subconscious was dominating it. He therefore started exploring the vacuum without much thought.
Indeed, it was completely empty there. No trace of basic elents could be sensed there, and the nearest stars went no farther than the edge of the zone, as if there was an uncrossable restricted area up ahead. Xiao Lin’s Miracle state heightened his perception to an unprecedented level and he concentrated his spirit toward the centermost area of that vacuum, a place so dark that no light could pass through.
Pain!
In an instant, Xiao Lin’s subconscious conveyed painful feelings throughout his body. Even the ditating Xiao Lin could not help but groan. The vacuum was a place that even Xiao Lin was unable to go through. As soon as his spirit made contact, the entire darkness beca chaotic, with the pitch-black matter churning itself over and over. In it, Xiao Lin’s spirit was like a boat in an ocean, ready to capsize at any mont.
What was going on!
The realm was his own spiritual realm. It was analogous to a dream whereby he was the ultimate master and he could do whatever his heart desired. That was a basic piece of information conveyed to the students by the tutor during their ditation course.
However, the scene in front of him was clearly different, and the surging darkness even produced instability in his spiritual realm. The starry elents which had gathered around as a result of his ditation seed frightened and began fleeing farther away.
The instability of that spiritual realm ant that it was difficult to maintain a ditative state, but when Xiao Lin was on the verge of exiting the state, his subconscious noticed even more weird phenona.
The turbulent darkness began shrinking rapidly, before finally condensing into a huge, pitch-black, cotton-shaped hole. It was the sa as a black hole in the universe!
However, that black hole was not completely empty, and a dragon-like roar could faintly be heard. The black hole bore the essential characteristics of a black hole, which was its suction force!
The completely inescapable suction force began spreading at an unimaginable speed. Those elental stars that were already about to escape from the ditation range had no room to resist under the fierce suction. Each of them was restrained and prevented from moving any further. They were subsequently pulled toward the center of the black hole at a speed that beca progressively faster.
The ditation world, which had been on the verge of collapse, returned to calm and stability, but Xiao Lin seed to have beco a bystander even though he was the master of his own realm. He could use his spirit to feel the elents being pulled into and swallowed by the black hole, before finally disappearing without a trace.
After all the stars had disappeared from his perception, the black hole began turning fuzzy before vanishing slowly. It did not really disappear though, because Xiao Lin’s Miracle state had reached its limit and was lifted, thereby restoring all his converted attributes. As was usual the case, his ntal strength and perception would also decline.
The entire ditation world fell into a pitch-black darkness. Darkness in the spiritual realm did not really an darkness though; it ant that there was no trace of the elents near Xiao Lin. It was an elental vacuum!
Xiao Lin felt inexplicably excited even though he did not know why things turned out like that. That was the exact effect he has been trying to achieve for several days already. The ditation world that isolated all elents from the connection could then be treated as the beginning of necromantic ditation.
On Planet Norma, it was believed that natural force and death energy existed in addition to the basic elents. Those basic forces constitute the normal cycle of that world. Each force maintained balance and the scale would temporarily lose its balance once the basic elental force was lost. That would make it easier to perceive the death energy.
According to that principle, it should be easier to perceive the death energy if the natural force was also stripped off, but since the natural force was also the lifeforce, both sides complented and restricted each other. Like darkness and light, it was practically impossible to disengage oneself from both at the sa ti.
According to the thod recorded in the book, Xiao Lin had started to perceive the death energy in that empty and dark ditation world. The entire process took longer than imagined.
Based on the narrative in the book, as long as a ditation world that excludes the elents can be constructed, perceiving the death energy was a matter of course and posed little difficulty.
During the whole three-hour ditation process, Xiao Lin tried his best to explore in the dark but only sensed a very faint white energy. Like the description stated, that energy was like stagnant water in a deep pool. With no fluctuations, it was silent, cold, and typical of death energy. However, it was a bit too weak.
Xiao Lin opened his eyes once again, feeling slightly tired but much more confused. He picked up the necromancy book and read it carefully, but was unable to find any further clues. He had followed the book’s thod judiciously when ditating, so he could not possibly have made a mistake.
He proceeded with another attempt in spite of his doubts. Just like before, he was still only able to enter the elental ditation world, but he soon got the hang of it even though it was unfamiliar in the beginning. Once Xiao Lin activated his Miracle state, the black hole reappeared just as he expected. Again, like before, the black hole tumbled and churned before sucking up all the stars in the entire galaxy.
“It’s still not working!”
Xiao Lin sighed and finally exited his ditative state after a long ti. Other than that thread-like death energy, he could not sense any other energy at all.
