1587 Direction of the Eighth Extremity
"Ti is not just about accelerating its passage, reversing the years, or freezing monts."
"There's a deeper manifestation…"
As Xu Qing gazed at the vast desert before him, he ca to a profound realization about the nature of this place. Even though he possessed the power of ti, his heart was stirred by the way ti manifested here, leading to a flood of thoughts.
"Ti can be seen on a macro scale, affecting all the star rings, or rather, everything that exists. Anything that exists falls within its scope."
"The River of Ti is omnipresent."
"But it is not fixed or unchanging. Whether influenced by external forces or other alterations, ti can undergo various changes."
"This desert demonstrates the concept of ti branching."
Xu Qing took a deep breath and the feeling of comprehension beca increasingly clear.
"Each grain of sand, with every movent, forms a new tiline, and on that tiline, a second grain of sand appears."
"The first grain and the second grain are essentially the sa, but their tilines differ."
"Through this process, more and more tilines are generated, leading to chaos—just like this desert. If, in the end, they could be unified, it would be akin to walking within ti yet standing outside of it, which could be called mastery."
A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.
"But unfortunately, with my current abilities, I cannot achieve unification—I can only bring about chaotic creation."
"And this disorderly creation of tilines, based on the changes in an object's essence, is sowhat like the ergence of… different fates?"
"Each new tiline creates a new grain of sand, and the path of this grain after its creation no longer has any connection to the original, becoming an independent journey."
Xu Qing recalled the divine authority of fate possessed by his god body and a strange feeling gradually surfaced in his heart.
This was because he realized that the authority and the divine authority seed to have the sa effect at this mont.
"But there is a subtle difference. My divine authority of fate uses a carving knife to inscribe new threads of fate, making them stand out and beco dominant."
18:31
"But the branching of ti, on the other hand, causes the object itself to evolve into nurous different tilines…"
"When I return to Wanggu in the future and my immortal body fuses with my god body, I should have a clearer understanding of the specific difference."
"And now…"
A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He was thinking about how to use this ti branching ability in battle.
At the sa ti, he took out a bottle of liaoxuan holy liquid and drank it in one gulp.
Over the past few days, he had drunk two bottles. At this mont, he took out the third bottle.
As the liaoxuan holy liquid spread throughout his body, Xu Qing got an influx of insights.
"I could apply it to myself, allowing each of my actions, even every heartbeat, to form different tilines."
"Though I can't unify them, I could use my Sundial to unleash them all at once into the world, creating a sea of chaotic ti!"
"Anyone entering this chaotic sea would be overwheld by the power of ti, lost in the confusion of countless tilines, leading either to death or madness!"
"And if used on an enemy… the effect would be the sa!"
"Every action they take would create a disordered tiline. As these tilines multiply, the enemy, unable to control the changes, would be forced to face them passively, disrupting their own existence!"
"It might even cause the sensation like that of a deity, where a re glance could make all their flesh and blood seem to separate and act independently."
"Even Rulers can't avoid this ability!"
A cold glint rose in Xu Qing's eyes.
"In such a sea, all will suffer, facing endless calamities. With no end to ti, it will be called… Seamless."
Xu Qing ford a hand seal, channeling his power to envelop the entire desert. Within his mind, he condensed his thoughts, solidifying them into a profound understanding, which he then engraved into his Seventh Extremity.
As he completed this process, his thoughts continued to expand.
The effects of the liaoxuan holy liquid further amplified his already remarkable insight, enhancing his comprehension even more.
"Also, there should be other better ways to display the ability of the ti branching. I'll need to study it in detail in the future."
"For example… combining it with the power of space?"
"If the additional ti lines are paired with a space unique to each one, what erges is…"
"A version of myself identical in essence but diverging in future outcos… A different fate, perhaps?"
Xu Qing's breathing instantly hastened. He had a faint feeling that he seed to have grasped sothing.
"Or to be precise, it should be called… spaceti?"
"A spaceti birthed from my essence?"
"An infinite number of spacetis, each with infinite versions of …"
Xu Qing abruptly raised his head. At this mont, his mind stirred intensely and he imdiately began to experint.
Ti flowed by and three days passed.
Xu Qing was still imrsed in his comprehension, exploring the thod to fuse ti and space.
During this period, he deduced and executed all the ideas he had thought of. However, the results were all failures without exception.
Hence, he decided to change his thoughts and focus on the disorderly formation of the tilines. He tried to turn his spatial ability into a box to accommodate the tilines.
This process was very slow.
However, Xu Qing didn't care about these. All his energy was focused on it.
However… to Yunn Qianfan, the shock in her soul rose with Xu Qing's cultivation!
Her cultivation was at the Nihility realm. Although whether she could break through to the Soul Accumulation realm depended on opportunities, as one of the core mbers of the clan, she had a lot of knowledge.
However, even though she was knowledgeable and had co into contact with other Rulers, the scene of Xu Qing cultivating in the past few days still caused an endless storm in her heart.
The formation of this storm, as perceived by Yunn Qianfan, erupted in stages with Xu Qing's growing understanding of the desert.
In the beginning days, she noticed that every grain of sand in the entire desert was gradually starting to shine, until the desert before her eyes transford into a resplendent starry sky.
This sight stirred her heart deeply.
Next, she observed that all the grains of sand were trembling, and there was even a brief mont when every grain of sand within her view rose into the air.
The dreamlike, illusory sensation had already begun to influence her perception, turning her inner turmoil into a tempest.
But compared to these initial disturbances, what happened afterward truly shattered her understanding of reality.
She noticed that Xu Qing's form started to distort and blur, almost as if he was overlapping with himself. For a brief mont, she even thought she saw countless Xu Qing!
Though these visions vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving her to wonder if they were re illusions, what followed was undeniable—the trembling of her body and a sudden wave of intense dizziness.
The world seed to spin around her.
To her horror, she found herself rapidly aging, then regressing to a child's form, and then returning to normal in quick succession.
It was as if she were experiencing one life after another.
Each filled with its own joys, sorrows, loves, and hatreds.
Fortunately, Xu Qing sensed the disturbances at the critical mont and ended them with a swift hand seal. He also enveloped her in a gentle force that shielded her from further effects.
Otherwise, she would have beco a skeleton now.
This scene caused Yunn Qianfan to be extrely shaken.
'Even the ancestor didn't give such a feeling…'
Yunn Qianfan gasped repeatedly and hurriedly retreated a distance, not daring to get close to Xu Qing.
While she was in awe, she also felt a feeling of security that was even more intense than before.
She was once again certain that her divination was fully correct.
She didn't know about the lives of the other core mbers, but she understood that she should be fine in this journey.
At the sa ti, she vaguely felt that her divination skill seed to have changed after experiencing these scenes.
"The changes caused by Senior Fla Mystic's cultivation are in line with the Dao of Divination to so extent?"
Yunn Qianfan fell into deep thought and sat cross-legged in the distance, carefully sensing.
Just like that, another two days passed.
The entire desert grew gradually radiant as countless grains of sand rose into the air, drawn together by an unseen force. These sands swirled around, forming a massive storm within the desert.
As the thunderous roar of the storm echoed in all directions, a figure approached from beyond the desert.
It was a woman.
She was dressed in a long, black gauze dress and carried a black spear. Her face was delicate and beautiful, but her expression bore a cold, murderous intent, with an aura that radiated an icy chill.
She stopped at the edge of the desert storm and took a single step forward into the desert.
But that one step was all she managed before coming to a halt.
After a mont, she slowly withdrew her foot, remaining stationary. She stood there like an immovable iceberg, her presence so intense that the air around her seed to freeze. An invisible tension emanated from her, spreading outwards in all directions.
It was as though any living being would be devoured by the cold air if they got close.
However, all this icy aura only appeared for a few breaths. As she retracted her foot and stared, it began to lt.
Everything was quickly replaced by a solemn intent.
"Ti Desert…"
"Ti Authority!"
"No wonder the elders and guest elder t such strange deaths, causing to be summoned to stop him. Not only is this guest elder of the Cloud Gate Clan a Ruler, but he is most likely at mid-stage!"
"He must have been hiding in the Cloud Gate Clan for that secret key as well…"
The woman pondered.
As a peerless heaven chosen of the Earth Spirit Clan and the possessor of a qualifying token, she had fought countless people in her life. Her encounter and insight surpassed ninety-nine percent of her clansn.
She was confident that she could fight against all those at the sa realm.
But now… the solemn expression on her face was gradually turning into an gradually intense feeling of danger .
In that step just now, she felt death.
"I'm no match for this person."
After a short silence, the woman took a deep breath and slowly retreated.
After three steps, her body suddenly paused and her expression instantly changed.
She realized that she had retreated a little too late.
She had been standing here for a long ti. Moreover, during this ti, her heartbeat, her thoughts, and the movents of her body were too much.
Most importantly, she shouldn't have taken that step into the desert.
Hence, unknowingly, tilines had already ford on her body, causing her body to distort, blur, and overlap.
However, as a Ruler, she was naturally extraordinary. The instant she sensed sothing was amiss, she did not hesitate to circulate her cultivation base. With unwavering decisiveness, she unleashed her full power, even at the cost of shattering her own secret treasure. Utilizing its force to augnt her authority, she erupted with trendous energy.
In an instant, a vast and imposing ice mountain ford around her, with her at its center. The colossal structure roared into existence, standing tall at the edge of the desert, its icy presence radiating outward in all directions.
Everything was frozen, including her body and ti!
Several days later, the ice mountain still stood tall.
As for the storm on the desert, it slowly dissipated and the entire desert returned to normal.
Xu Qing opened his eyes.
He didn't look at the ice mountain in the distance but sighed inwardly about his comprehension.
After this period of testing, he discovered that because his understanding wasn't enough, he still couldn't fuse ti and space.
"However, this is a direction, the direction of the Eighth Extremity!"
Xu Qing took a deep breath and waved his hand. The desert imdiately churned and all the sand shook. Countless tilines intertwined here, creating resplendent light.
In the end, they gathered in front of Xu Qing and ford a dazzling path.
"Let's go."
Xu Qing stood up and spoke to Yunn Qianfan.
At that mont, Yunn Qianfan was staring at the ice mountain that had suddenly appeared within her perception. Her eyes were particularly focused on the figure sealed within the icy structure. Recognizing the woman inside, she instinctively turned her gaze toward Xu Qing.
"Senior, she…"
"She tried to freeze ti but failed. She's not dead yet but it's not much different from death."
"Ah, um… the things on her?" Yunn Qianfan blinked.
Xu Qing shook his head, choosing not to speak further.
The Seamless Sea sealed within the ice mountain was sothing he had triggered, but he lacked the ability to unify it. If he were to step inside, he too would beco trapped.
Of course, this was sothing Xu Qing would never reveal.
At that mont, he took a step forward, walking along the radiant path before him. As he moved, he crossed through ti, traversed the desert, and when he reappeared… he stood before an ancient stone formation.
Behind him, Yunn Qianfan followed obediently.
