Chapter 252: A World Without a Sun?

After the ambition, the problem followed.

How exactly is magic power born?

Having calmed down, Baichuan began to consider this question in detail.

After all, a ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; if he could not even understand how magic power was born, how could he understand its essence, and subsequently aspire to control its source?

With a spirit of inquiry, he began to immerse his consciousness into his body, wandering through every inch of it, feeling the subtle changes within.

Thanks to the vast knowledge he had accumulated from creating his Juanzhu and improving his own nervous control system, his control over his own body had reached an extremely minute level, which allowed him to perform such delicate operations.

Half an hour later, Baichuan opened his eyes again, a trace of disappointment flashing through them.

Clearly, even though he had felt through the entire interior of his body, he had not specifically understood how that surge of Blood Qi disappeared; it seemed to vanish abruptly while his blood was flowing.

Yes, Baichuan could only use the word "abruptly."

Along with the Blood Qi abruptly disappearing during the flow, the magic power then followed and was born.

Of course, he was not without any gains; he had now barely managed to find a part of the organs that the "Mo Li Shi Ying LV2" ability corresponded to.

Here, it must be mentioned that perhaps this is due to the differences between the two worlds.

The various special powers of this world, such as the talent to cultivate magic power, though also expressed as an ability, did not emerge directly in the body like the organs and tissues he had previously evolved for various extraordinary abilities; its appearance was more obscure and subtle, not appearing in the form of a new organ, but rather tending toward adjusting the organs already present in the body in a minute way.

This was also the reason why he could not figure out the state of things after he had previously evolved the magic power talent of this world.

Because although he could observe every part of his body in detail, his entire dragon body was so massive, and the various organs and cells within were incomparably complex; even he could not perfectly replicate all the various reactions and changes occurring within.

His control over his body was still mostly at a macroscopic level, knowing which organ should exist where in his body.

Under such circumstances, he would immediately notice if a new organ appeared.

But the abilities of this world tended to be adjusted and changed step-by-step on the existing organs, which was precisely his current weakness.

However, now that his magic power talent was active, he had finally found a part of the tissue change for the "Mo Li Shi Ying LV2" ability... well, perhaps?

And this location was exactly below his stomach, a bit above the middle of his entire body, at the position of the gallbladder, near organs like the pancreas and spleen.

Yes, that's right!

The position of the snake gallbladder from his former snake body—though, of course, it should now be called the dragon gallbladder.

He discovered that as the magic power in his body increased over Time, it would flow through the blood vessels and gather toward the position of the dragon gallbladder, as if his gallbladder organ had some kind of attraction to magic power.

On this point, he could not help but think of the myths and stories from his past life; one must know that this world possessed an Eastern cultivation system similar to his past life, which meant that species like demons existed.

And in myths, those snake demons were famous for the medicinal power of their snake gallbladders; rumors about killing snakes to take their gallbladders to soak in wine were countless.

Replacing it here, combined with magic power... could this energy be called Spirit Qi in the Dongfang Quyu?

Then, under the gathering of the snake gallbladder, Spirit Qi would naturally become a crystalline organ for storing Spirit Qi.

In this way, the idea that snake gallbladder medicinal power is potent and helpful for cultivation might be explained.

After understanding this, he also focused his attention on the tissue changes in the gallbladder area.

Unfortunately, it might be that the amount of this energy was currently too small to directly cause changes to the organ here.

It is a pity that he had only found the gathering point of the magic power; as for how the magic power was converted, he was still completely in the dark.

Perhaps the mystery within required him to find the cultivation techniques of this world to understand the mysteries of this world's power more systematically.

After all, this world had been using this mysterious power for so long, and there were even Main God-level powerhouses approaching his own realm; he did not believe that they had no understanding of this power.

Of course, he did not count on the Western region for the understanding and utilization of this energy.

Because almost all the gods who had previously invaded his world were from the Western region, and there were hardly any demigods from the Dongfang Quyu.

On this point, he had heard from those demigods who had surrendered that the entire Dongfang Quyu seemed very xenophobic, and under the means of some great supernatural being, a large barrier had been set up to cover the entire region.

To a certain extent, this barrier not only isolated the entry and exit of the living beings inside but also blocked the entry of Western powerhouses from the outside.

However, even those few Eastern demigods did not know the inside story; if anything, those Eastern demigods might know even less than the Western demigods and gods.

Because their power was not cultivated by themselves, but was power directly bestowed upon them by the emperor of that dynasty at that time due to their official rank.

As for why they appeared here later, it was only because the dynasty collapsed and they luckily escaped into the Mingtu without perishing with the dynasty; later, either being hunted or seeking breakthroughs and longevity, they used certain means to get their clones out of the barrier, and then they encountered this passage.

Therefore, not knowing the energy potential of this world at the time, he did not investigate further.

As for the Western region, the powerhouses there would not care about the essence of power or anything like that; the techniques they gave him were merely for polishing the body, believing in a god, accepting the blessings of their temple, awakening the seed of power, and then, while believing in the god, closing their eyes to either cultivate magic power or learn a Technique.

It was simply devoid of any useful information.

In summary, Baichuan discovered that if he wanted to know the secrets of power, he might only be able to learn them from the mouths of those gods.

However, the clones of those gods from his main world had already been completely ruined by him...

Thinking about it now, it seems he had committed a major military taboo—underestimating the enemy!

This might be because the Main God he had encountered back then had performed so poorly, which invisibly caused him to develop a dismissive attitude toward this world.

That won't do; caution must never be discarded!

Subconsciously, Baichuan recited a few times the paranoid mindset of caution he had always maintained.

Although he understood this, he knew that "staying low" to develop was the only way to live longer.

Since those guys from the main world could no longer be relied upon, and thinking of some information he had learned from their mouths as well as various legends and stories of immortals similar to his past life.

Baichuan felt that the Dongfang Quyu should still have various cultivation techniques.

He did not need anything too profound; he just needed some relatively common techniques.

Because the more basic it is, the more it represents universality, and there must be some secrets about this energy within it.

Surely that would allow him to understand how this power was born, right?

After all, he had evolved a cultivation talent that should only be possessed by Main Gods and god-level beings.

Yes, "Mo Li Shi Ying LV2" was a talent level only possessed by Main Gods and gods; ordinary demigods only had the LV1 level.

Thinking of it, he did it; Baichuan was never a dragon that dragged his feet.

Since the plan was decided, it was time to act.

Of course, the prerequisite for action was that he had accumulated some magic power.

After all, if a worker wants to do their job well, they must first sharpen their tools.

In the midst of his thinking, he also discovered another Characteristic of magic power while trying different ways to use it.

It seemed to have some kind of connection with the environment of this world, and under the urging of his intent, it invisibly caused a rising force to be generated where the magic power flowed through his body, extremely similar to the legend of the clear Qi rising in the myths of his past life.

Perhaps, when he has a bit more of this energy, he will be able to use the power of this world for Flight, and by then, he can hide his magnetic field Flight and not use it.

After all, the commotion from using that power is too great.

Wherever he passed, lightning would flash and thunder would roll, and any creature nearby in the air could feel a tingling sensation; that was caused by the electric field he released being too massive and intense.

Under such circumstances, let alone hiding, he would essentially be announcing his arrival right in front of others.

This might not have much of an impact if he were in the West, but he is currently in the Dongfang Quyu.

It is a world ruled by a unified dynasty, where whether in the heavens or on earth, or even in life and death, there are dynasty officials in charge of these aspects.

In this way, it would not be a wise move.

As the flood dragon settled down, Time slowly passed for a month.

One month later, feeling the large amount of "magic power" that had gathered at the location of his dragon gallbladder within his body, Baichuan also slowly opened his eyes.

Accompanied by a flash of bright white light in his eyes, his aura gradually lowered and then completely disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that one could still see this massive flood dragon with the naked eye, any ordinary person, as long as they weren't staring straight at him with purpose, might not even notice this behemoth.

However, the next moment, his body changed again and actually disappeared directly into the air.

This was also obtained from the mysterious Technique of those demigods in the Western region; it seems those guys who surrendered are still of some use.

Baichuan nodded silently.

After finishing this, the magic power in his body began to flow, and the next moment, his massive body was seen flying silently into the sky without the aid of magnetic field Flight or Light Point Flight.

After wantonly dancing his dragon body to stir up gusts of biting cold wind, feeling the flight method that was completely different from before, Baichuan could not help but sigh.

As expected, this is the way to become stronger that he wanted!

Where is the need to consider a constantly changing magnetic field, use massive computing power to find repulsion points at every moment, or rely on the ubiquitous Light Points to lift himself; as long as the energy in his body flows and his intent desires it, he can take off!

Perhaps this current method of flight can allow him to leave the planet's atmospheric system, rather than just hovering at the highest point of the planet's magnetic field and staring longingly into the depths of the Xingkong as he once did.

Looking at the obscure Xingkong above the firmament, a sudden impulse arose in Baichuan's heart; if he wanted to know the specific shape of a new world, what could be faster than flying up into the sky?

At this moment, he wanted to fly to the highest point of this world and take a look at it.

But once he thought about how he was currently in a brand new and unfamiliar world, he suppressed this impulsive desire.

Afterwards, having made all preparations, Baichuan flew directly in the direction he had previously sensed clearly.

Not long after, moving like lightning, only half a month passed before he saw from afar... no, it cannot be said he saw it, but rather he sensed with his magic power an invisible, huge, transparent barrier that reached beyond sight.

In an instant, he understood that the interior of this invisible barrier was the barrier set up by the great masters of the East that he knew of.

However, just at this moment, he widened his eyes abruptly, staring in shock at a strange phenomenon.

At this moment, he suddenly felt fortunate that he had not rashly flown into the high sky half a month ago; his decision was correct, because—

At this moment, at the barrier, he actually saw a bright, huge fireball slowly rising in the distance above the firmament.

But that is not the point, because it is just the sun, a very normal thing.

But the bizarre thing was, with his sharp eyes, he saw that this sun was actually a miraculous dragon carriage pulled by four dragons!!!

Yes, the sun is not a star!!!

Abruptly, Baichuan suddenly recalled that period of time when he was dormant in the Ice Plains.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong at the time, but he never understood what it was.

Looking at this sun-god carriage at this moment, he finally understood!

The Ice Plains where he stayed before actually had no sun!!!

There was no sun, yet it still had day and night; he had previously thought it was an environmental issue there that caused him to be unable to see the sun hidden by cloud layers.

But at this moment, he understood that there was no sun to begin with.

Or rather, this dragon carriage representing the sun would not pass through there!

It only passes through this world representing the Dongfang Quyu!

Since the Dongfang Quyu is like this, he imagines the Western region should be the same.

However, since this world requires the sun-god carriage to pass through to have the distinction of night and day, then why did the Ice Plains outside the barrier still have the distinction of day and night even without the sun passing through?

Through that peculiar barrier, watching the land inside the barrier slowly reveal light after the sun-god carriage passed by.

Subconsciously, Baichuan lifted his dragon head to look at the vast white land behind him; that was the endless Ice Plains, and this mysterious, boundless Ice Plains was the forbidden land separating the Dongfang Quyu from the Western region.

At this moment, this Ice Plains land was also starting to slowly brighten, yet no sun could be seen.

It seemed to brighten directly and abruptly in the absence of a light source.

Recalling the words of those demigods who had surrendered in his mind, Baichuan felt a large amount of confusion appear in his mind all at once.

Why does the Dongfang Quyu need to set up a barrier; is it because the barrier serves some purpose?

And, why does the Ice Plains outside slowly change from night to day without a sun?

Is this world really in the same universe as his?

Amidst his confusion, he turned his head back again to look at the boundless world inside the barrier.

There, he could vaguely see scattered human cities, with people living and working in peace and contentment inside.

A world without a sun?
