Chapter 3056 - Taking Her to Myriadpath Valley?
Tianming died again. Apart from Yin Chen and Ji Ji in the lifebound s.p.a.ce, he and the four beasts were turned into astrons and dispersed, moving forward at an extreme speed.
This time, he vaguely experienced the process, as it was an interdimensional transportation when he entered the Xenoworld. Of course, it was only for that brief instant of transfer, which quickly pa.s.sed.
The next moment, he reached his destination, the capital of Antiquitas Mortis. The purple eye of heaven in the sky shone on him, emitting xeno source. It was like Di Yi was looking at him.
The cosm.o.f.orce in Tianmings body was distilled from midsky essence. After encountering xeno source again, the fusion of the two was smoother. "It's much smoother than the reaction between nova source and xeno source."
The stareye he was in was located inside the imperial capital. That was surprising for Tianming, because in the Skydome Mundus, the stareye relay was made from many skypiercer-cla.s.s nova source worlds. But here, it was right under the eye of heaven and relied on the xeno source it emitted to operate. It was indeed amazing.
Other stareyes were composed of formations using worlds, while the stareye in the Xenoabyss was like a planar array.
"In fact, there are still differences. Mundi stareyes don't need to consider consumption, but the stareye in the Xenoabyss consumes a certain amount of xeno source every time it operates. The Xenoabyss clans attach great importance to xeno source, so they restrict the number of visits by us pract.i.tioners of Myriadpath Valley. That's why there's xenotokens. If reverends didn't restrict it, wed definitely exceed the limit," Li Fan explained.
"So if we come a few times, we won't be able to come anymore?" Tianming frowned.
"No. The number of times they restrict is the total number. One or two more visits from us won't affect the total. Only if the restrictions of the entire valley are relaxed will it have an impact," Li Fan said.
"That's good." Tianming nodded. "Speaking of which, these Xenoabyss clans seem to be cautious, stingy, and xenophobic. Theyre all very petty."
Li Fan chuckled and said, "It's normal. They heard that our Myriadpath Valley dominates a million mundi, occupying such a vast territory with such a huge population. It would be abnormal if they werent afraid. They have to remain on guard against our invasion.
"Moreover, for them, formations are a blind spot in their knowledge. Suspicion and fear toward the unknown.... Its understandable."
Tianming looked out at the capital. "Theres many strong people in the Xenoabyss because of order fragments! It wouldn't be easy for Myriadpath Valley to take over here, right?"
"Not easy. It's tough enough to take over Antiquitas Mortis, and therell definitely be huge casualties. And don't forget, this Xenoabyss isn't just Antiquitas Mortis, but also other nations. Theres even many mysterious areas where even the locals dare not go. If we dare to occupy this place as outsiders, other Xenoabyss clans will definitely band together. Unless we can wipe out all the Xenoabyss clans, it'll be suicide. If we could build a top-cla.s.s formation here... maybe. The problem is, which top-level guardian formation doesn't take tens of thousands of years to build?"
Li Fan and Tianming walked out of the stareye together, whispering to each other.
"Mysterious areas...." Tianming wondered if the OldG.o.d Domain was one of them.
"Honestly, there isnt much of value in the Xenoabyss, only order fragments. Most are in the hands of the antiquiteans, tightly held and not for trade. Even if we manage to grab those order fragments, it won't help the powerhouses in Myriadpath Valley break through. So for many years, things have been peaceful.
Myriadpath Valley and Antiquitas Mortis, overall, have a few small cooperations and a lot of mutual suspicion. Antiquitas Mortis is wary of Myriadpath Valley, and Myriadpath Valley scorns the Xenoabyss clans," Li Fan said with a smile.
"d.a.m.n, this Scorn Valley is interdimensional?" Tianming sighed. Those people were really good at scorn!
"That's right. As the saying goes: wherever the eye reaches is where Myriadpath Valley scorns," Li Fan laughed.
"Unbelievable!" Tianming shrugged, then suddenly thought of a question. "I heard from a member of a Xenoabyss clan before that those born in the Xenoabyss can't adapt to nova source, and if they go to the astralscape, their cultivation system will collapse?"
"Yes. We have nova source and can adapt to xeno source, but they can't adapt to nova source. Thats our advantage, but also the reason the Xenoabyss clans fear us," Li Fan said.
"What about Myriadpath Valley?" Tianming asked.
"You hit the nail on the head. The power of Myriadpath Valley is midsky essence. Someone tested it and Xenoabyss clans can indeed survive in Myriadpath Valley, although it will be uncomfortable in the early stages. But as long as they adapt to midsky essence, they can even smoothly transition to nova source," Li Fan said. "But thats a secret. The seniors have instructed us not to tell the Xenoabyss clans about this."
"No problem." Tianming's eyes lit up, then he said, "So can I bring someone to Myriadpath Valley?"
"You want to bring her?" Li Fan asked.
"Yes."
"I advise you not to. Theres too many specters in Myriadpath Valley. Her talent is very sensitive, and the growth stage is a stage where her talent can be stripped away. Even my master dared to do it, do you think others wont? Besides, if you don't have a myriadpath ring, anyone that enters Myriadpath Valley will be thoroughly investigated and monitored until they leave," Li Fan said.
"I see." The hope that Tianming had just ignited was immediately extinguished.
Li Fan was thoughtful enough. If he hadnt warned Tianming and let him bring someone back, it would be a big trouble. However, Tianming was still happy because at least it provided him with a possibility of bringing Zi Zhen back in the future.
"In this world, theres many types of powers. The primeval source of the Ancestral World, nova source and midsky essence of the astralscape, xeno source in the Xenoabyss from the eye of heaven, and the Xenoworld has its own native power, xenopower. However, theyre all ordered powers, which can be converted between each other. I wonder if you've heard of another world?" Li Fan asked.
"The Realm of Chaos?" Tianming came from the Welkin Plane, and it could be said that he understood the Realm of Chaos better than any astral G.o.d. He had even been to the Abyssal Battlefield many times. It's just that, at the time, he was so weak that order or chaos didnt matter.
