Chapter 926: Spring Flowers Will Bloom (Part 1)

In the endless dark void, arguments broke out from time to time.

"Didn't you say the road wasn't far?"

"It isn't far, is it? It's right there; it can already be seen."

Wei Yuan steadied his gaze and saw a soft light in the dark nothingness ahead. According to the Master Master Ronglong, that was the home realm.

But how to get there?

Wei Yuan scanned himself with his spiritual sense; there was nothing. His current state was particularly strange: he knew he existed, but he could neither see nor perceive himself, let alone know how to move.

The home realm was right before his eyes, but without breaking his current state, he could never hope to return. In the past, whenever Wei Yuan traversed the void, there would be a flash of light, and he would arrive in a new heaven and earth. But this time, it seemed to be stuck at the flash of light.

Wei Yuan calmed his mind, viewing himself as a point, and then pushed with his spiritual sense; it seemed he had moved a little, but the distance to the home realm seemed not to have changed in the slightest.

The Master Master Ronglong's voice sounded in his consciousness: "You can't do it that way. Try casting a Dao technique first; Jin Guang Art will do."

Wei Yuan's heart stirred, and a beam of golden light appeared in the void; the Dao technique had actually succeeded! Wei Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly activated the technique to travel through the void, flying toward the home realm. At this distance, it would probably take a few days to arrive.

But after flying for a while, Wei Yuan discovered something was wrong. The distance between himself and the home realm was sometimes near and sometimes far, flickering and uncertain, without the slightest pattern.

Wei Yuan was taken aback and asked: "What is going on?"

The Master Master Ronglong had been silent for a while, and only then did it say gloomily: "Did you only just realize something was wrong? Letting you move around recklessly! Now you can't stop, can you?"

Wei Yuan discovered, as expected, that even if he stopped the Dao technique for traveling, he was still continuously drifting forward, and the distance to the home realm was still sometimes near and sometimes far. He tried to stop, but he never succeeded; either the force was too great or too small, or the force was skewed. After a series of operations, his speed actually became faster and faster.

Wei Yuan was alarmed and hurriedly adjusted meticulously. After much difficulty, he managed to slow himself down and hurriedly asked the Master Master Ronglong for advice: "What is going on?"

The Master Master Ronglong said: "It's very simple; your spiritual sense has always been within heaven and earth, so it was born according to the rules within heaven and earth. Naturally, it is not adapted to the void beyond the sky. For example, you think it's a straight line, but it might not be. Oh, you could say it this way: it is definitely not a straight line."

Wei Yuan followed the Master Master Ronglong's guidance and saw the beam of golden light he had sent out. At this moment, it had turned into a flashing swimming fish, swimming randomly.

Wei Yuan's heart first turned cold, but fortunately, he remembered there was still the Master Master Ronglong. After the Mind-Reflection Realm, one must constantly go beyond the sky, so it must be no stranger to the void.

Seeing Wei Yuan sincerely asking for advice, the Master Master Ronglong gave humble guidance:

"First, if you want to move in the void, you need to know truthfully and without falsehood whether you have actually moved, and what the trajectory of the movement is. You cannot trust your eyes here, nor can you trust your spiritual sense; you can only trust the rules of the void. Hmm, you mentioned something called coordinates before that is very useful. So now, we must first establish a coordinate system, with at least three coordinates...

... To establish coordinates, you can first set two different points, then you send a beam of light from one point to another and observe the trajectory of the light; then you send another beam and observe the trajectory again...

... Calculate the parameters based on the different trajectories, and then adjust your spiritual sense accordingly. If you calculate correctly, you will be able to see a straight line, and you can mark coordinates on it..."

Wei Yuan was dizzy from the calculations and called for the Master Master Ronglong to stop: "Is this how you did it back then?"

"When I first entered the void, I just tried hard to look and made a bunch of attempts. After trying for about half an hour, I learned how to walk in the void."

"How did you try?"

"I just tried randomly; after trying hundreds of thousands of times, it naturally worked. I didn't know mathematics back then, so how would I know there were so many fancy things in the world?"

Wei Yuan was startled, and then anger surged: "You succeeded by trying randomly, and then you make me solve problems?! Is this something a person would do?"

"I am a Shaman; I don't do human things."

Wei Yuan was speechless. No matter how he provoked it afterward, the Master Master Ronglong would not speak. Wei Yuan had no choice but to continue repeatedly experimenting, recording data, analyzing patterns, and building models.

In the darkness, beams of light continuously appeared, swimming everywhere like happy little fish, roaming in the dark ocean. It was as if spring had arrived, and mountain flowers were blooming everywhere.

It was just that every now and then, a few roars and growls would sound, quite spoiling the scenery.

Qingming was very calm, but the surroundings were not calm at all.

In the Cui family's new city, the original city was now sparsely populated, and the occasional pedestrian was cautious. More were fully armed soldiers, searching for something in the ruins, piece by piece.

A small team composed of seven or eight soldiers was lining up. The captain pointed to an area of several dozen zhang in front and said: "Today's task is to clear this area; once finished, we can knock off and return to camp for a meal. Be alert; this is work where you carry your head on your shoulders!"

The soldiers responded and walked into the task area, beginning to search carefully on the ground.

A new recruit, while searching, cursed and said: "These horse bandits are really not things! How did they come up with such wicked tricks?"

The captain immediately started cursing: "Be serious, don't look for death!"

The new recruit was startled and moved his foot to the side; suddenly, with a boom, a puff of green smoke rose, the new recruit's lower leg was a bloody mess, and most of his foot flew into the sky!

The new recruit fell to the ground, screaming continuously, rolling on the ground in pain. ===== CHAPTER 927 =====
