Chapter 385 - 327: Beastman Mini World, Power of the World
"Master, could it be..."
Xu Qing paused, wanting to ask more.
"Ask no more."
Chen Wangu shook his head. His tone was calm yet left no room for doubt. "Your current Realm is still too low. Knowing too much won’t do you any good."
"Since you have become my Direct Disciple, you will gradually learn what you need to know in the future. And in that future, you must bear the great responsibility for the Human Race."
...
Xu Qing fell silent for a moment.
"From this day forward,"
Chen Wangu said, "you may freely mobilize Shu Mountain’s resources. You can use over ninety-nine percent of them. Only a few restricted resources are off-limits, but you can still use them if you get my approval."
"Yes."
Xu Qing nodded respectfully.
"Focus on your Cultivation."
Finally,
Chen Wangu left with those words and vanished. No one knew where he went. Only Xu Qing remained in the entire Sword One Dojo.
No, that wasn’t right.
There was also Lan Yun.
Xu Qing had brought Lan Yun from Chixia Peak to the Sword One Dojo.
"Master."
Lan Yun stood beside him with the utmost respect.
"Mm,"
Xu Qing glanced at Lan Yun and said, "Find a place to live in the Dao Field. From now on, you will stay by my side and focus on your Cultivation."
"Yes, as you command."
Lan Yun became even more deferential.
「Next.」
Xu Qing took a deep breath. Holding the Dao Field Core Order, he walked toward the palace in the very center. He pushed open its great doors, and a majestic hall came into view.
Just as he expected, in the front and center of the main hall, there was a massive vortex shimmering with a hazy, gray light. On the other side of this vortex was the complete world that Chen Wangu had gifted to Xu Qing.
WHOOSH...
Xu Qing took a deep breath and walked toward the massive vortex. He stepped inside, crossing the World Passage. His vision went black as the world spun around him.
「The next moment.」
His vision returned to normal.
The spinning sensation vanished as well.
’This is my world.’
Xu Qing had arrived in the world on the other side of the vortex. The moment he arrived, he felt a sense of complete control.
With a single thought,
Xu Qing seemed to become the Celestial Dao of this world, its master, able to command everything within it.
He was its supreme creator, the master of the world.
WHOOSH...
Xu Qing took another deep breath and closed his eyes. His consciousness spread out, blanketing the entire world and bringing every detail within his perception.
First,
it was a complete world, equipped with its own Law, Rule, and Celestial Dao. However, the Celestial Dao had been refined into the Sword One Dojo by Chen Wangu.
As a result,
with Chen Wangu’s help, after Xu Qing had refined the Dao Field Core Order, he had effectively become this world’s Celestial Dao, capable of controlling everything within it.
’What a pity.’
Xu Qing felt it out carefully, sighed softly, and murmured to himself, ’Although this is a complete world, it’s merely a Little World. Its scope and size are only about that of the Great Zhou Martial Country. The sun, moon, and stars in this world are all illusions conjured by the Celestial Dao.’
’They’re all fake, not real. The only thing that truly exists is the planet’s Continent itself.’
’Therefore,’
’the Law and Rule of this world aren’t very powerful. Even its Celestial Dao is just a faint Celestial Dao Consciousness; it hasn’t formed a true Celestial Dao in the proper sense.’
’Also,’
’there’s no Human Race living in this world. It’s primarily inhabited by a race called ’Beastmen,’ which is further divided into Lizardmen, Kobolds, Minotaurs, Tiger-headed People, Dragon-men, and so on.’
’Among them,’
’the Beastmen revere bloodlines. The Dragon-man bloodline is the noblest, making them the rulers of this world. To distinguish themselves from other Beastmen, these Dragon-men renamed themselves the Celestial Dragon People.’
’Below them,’
’the Tiger-headed People and Lion-headed People have relatively noble bloodlines and belong to the ruling class.’
In fact, once one controlled a world, as time passed and the world operated, it would coalesce Power of the World. This Power of the World could be directly absorbed to raise one’s Cultivation and comprehend Divine Techniques and Dao Rhyme.
The World Foundation Stone was the essence left behind by shattered heavens, worlds, and universes, making it much harder to absorb and refine. Compared to the Power of the World, it was far inferior.
’A Little World,’
Xu Qing’s expression was contemplative. ’produces about one milliliter of Power of the World each year. One milliliter of Power of the World is completely useless to me.’
’But,’
’I can use this one milliliter of Power of the World to accelerate time in this world. One milliliter can create a tenfold time acceleration that lasts for one year.’
’For me, time acceleration is the best option.’
Xu Qing thought carefully.
Indeed.
Since Xu Qing possessed the Encyclopedia of All Things, rather than using the Power of the World for Cultivation and comprehending Divine Techniques, it was better for him to stay in the Beastman Mini World and use the tenfold time acceleration to acquire Experience Points.
This way,
the rate at which he gained Experience Points would naturally increase tenfold.
’The Celestial Dragon People.’
BOOM!
With a single thought, Xu Qing sensed the tallest tower in this Beastman Mini World: the Celestial Dragon Tower.
The Celestial Dragon People lived inside this tower.
「The top floor of the Celestial Dragon Tower.」
BZZZT!
Xu Qing sensed that three Celestial Dragon People were the strongest, having reached the pinnacle of this Beastman Mini World. So, with a thought, he mobilized his supreme might, which formed an invisible giant hand that seized the three of them.
SWOOSH!!!
In the blink of an eye,
high in the sky,
Xu Qing had pulled the three Celestial Dragon People before him. They were terrified, looking left and right before finally noticing Xu Qing.
However,
Xu Qing was shrouded in a pervasive Dao Rhyme, making his form indistinct. In the eyes of the three Celestial Dragon People, Xu Qing was a supreme being, an existence beyond all others.
They dropped to their knees on the spot.
Then,
the three Celestial Dragon People began chattering away. The language was foreign, so Xu Qing had no idea what they were saying.
Fortunately,
Xu Qing controlled everything in this world. With a single thought, he borrowed the supreme might of the Celestial Dao and could naturally understand what the three Celestial Dragon People were saying.
It was mostly them prostrating themselves before a supreme being, something about being his most respectful slaves, awaiting his command.
’They’re alright, I guess.’
Xu Qing scanned the strength and Realm of the three Celestial Dragon People. Within this Little World, they had completely comprehended its Law and Rule, and had even gained some insight into the Dao Rhyme of its Celestial Dao Consciousness.
It was a pity, though.
This was, after all, only a Little World. Even if one completely comprehended its Law and Rule and gained insight into the Dao Rhyme of its Celestial Dao Consciousness, the true Power they could unleash was only at the level of having condensed a Law Body.
’Too weak.’
Xu Qing shook his head, having already lost interest in the Beastmen of this Beastman Mini World. They were of no use to him.
They could only help Xu Qing if this Little World’s status was promoted in the future.
BZZZT! BZZZT!
With a wave of his right hand and without another word, Xu Qing sent the three Celestial Dragon People back. As for what they might do, Xu Qing didn’t care.
After all, they were just ants he could crush with a single finger.
He certainly wouldn’t care.
With another thought,
Xu Qing arrived at the World Pool. Deep within the Beastman Mini World, there was a Celestial Dao Space filled with Chaotic Qi Flow. Inside this Celestial Dao Space was a small pool.
He took a closer look.
Inside this World Pool, there was only a small puddle of the Power of the World. He made a rough estimate—it couldn’t be more than one hundred milliliters.
’That’s right.’
Suddenly,
an idea flashed in Xu Qing’s mind. ’The Encyclopedia of All Things can record anything. As long as it belongs to me and isn’t something used to gain Experience Points, it can be recorded.’
’Can this Beastman Mini World be recorded, too?’
At this thought,
Xu Qing couldn’t suppress the idea.
He took a deep breath.
BZZZT! BZZZT!
Xu Qing’s consciousness spread out, quickly enveloping the entire Beastman Mini World while also connecting with the Encyclopedia of All Things.
"Record!"
BOOM!
Without hesitation,
Xu Qing gave a soft cry. With a single thought, he activated the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things. His mind trembled as countless images flooded his vision.
The Encyclopedia of All Things pulsed with an intense white light.
BZZZT! BZZZT! BZZZT!!!
Among the countless images, scenes of the Beastman Mini World’s birth appeared: gestating within Chaos, evolving into a world, evolving all things, evolving living beings...
Until one day,
a supreme being discovered this Beastman Mini World. With a casual wave of their hand that stirred the waves of the Sea of Chaos, they refined and took the world away.
It was as effortless as plucking a stone from a lake.
...
[Recording Successful!]
[Beastman Mini World Level 1: 0/1,000,000,000,000 (The Sea of Chaos gestates countless heavens, worlds, and universes. This is but one Little World, refined and taken by a supreme being.)]
...
In his mind,
the corresponding information had appeared.
The recording had succeeded.
"Excellent!!!"
Xu Qing opened his eyes, a look of ecstatic joy on his face. "It actually worked! I can’t believe it! It can even record an entire world."
He was truly and utterly stunned.
At the same time,
corresponding information appeared in Xu Qing’s mind, explaining how the Beastman Mini World could gain Experience Points. The method was both simple and complex.
’To make the Beastman Mini World gain Experience Points, living beings must die within it. For every creature that dies, it gains one Experience Point.’
Xu Qing mused, "At the same time, for every new life that is born in the Beastman Mini World, it can also gain one Experience Point."
’So, both death and new life can provide Experience Points.’
