The Law of Time and Space was undoubtedly the most mysterious law that humans knew of. It was the hardest to grasp its essence and the hardest to understand.
Even aptitude users with the talent of time and space might be able to use the power of time and space, but they might not have a deep understanding of the Law of Time and Space.
It was because time itself did not exist. Human time was just a measuring stick that belonged to humans. It was used to describe the changes of things, from day to night, from birth to death, from freshness to decay.
The measuring stick was only for humans. If it was placed in the macroscopic universe, it could not be used as an accurate measuring stick. Since it did not have a physical body, it could not even be considered as an existence, so it was difficult to define it.
If it could not be defined, it would be difficult to understand. If it was difficult to understand, how could one grasp its essence? Without an essence, its usage would be limited, including aptitude users.
As for space? Compared to the abstract concept of time, its existence was more realistic. From a point to a line, from a line to a surface, to a solid …
However, it was also the limit!
Just like how a two-dimensional world could not imagine a three-dimensional world, humans in the three-dimensional world used length, width, and height to define the basic three-dimensional space, but they could not imagine the four-dimensional space, let alone define it. Other than length, width, and height, what was the other point that accurately described it?
Did the four-dimensional space really exist? Humans could not be sure either. The only proof came from mathematics.
After all, mathematics was the foundation of all basic sciences. It could be understood as the closest description to the objective essence.
Cold numbers did not accept any interference nor did they have any emotions. All they pursued was truth and accuracy.
"If only I'm a math genius," Tang Ling muttered. Tang Ling grumbled as he fixed a giant vicious beast bone on the frame of the little hut that had been set up.
After the vicious beast bone was fixed, the little house started to take shape. It looked quite decent. There were two rooms upstairs, a living room downstairs, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
In front of the little house was a courtyard with a pond in the middle. An object the size of a coconut was floating in the pond.
Upon a closer look, the object looked like an egg, but the color of the eggshell was strange. At first glance, it looked black, but upon a closer look, it looked like the color of the night sky, a dark blue with a velvety feel.
Other than that, the egg had faint purple patterns on it. The patterns looked like the mystical talent pattern on the bones of a super vicious beast, but at the same time, it also looked like a super-technological pattern. It somehow gave off a lively vibe.
Of course, such a strange thing couldn't make people sure that it was an egg.
However, Tang Ling knew that this egg was the real deal. It was the life form that the Island Master and the Sunlight Nether Fish had condensed after their rebirth.
That was the only way Tang Ling could describe it. Rebirth was a mystical thing after all. Who knew if the egg would hatch or remain as an egg forever?
As the breeder, only Tang Ling knew that the egg had started to have its own thoughts and senses. It could even express its emotions in the simplest way.
Tang Ling scooped it out from the lake and soaked it in the pond that had a certain amount of Sea God's Gift. It was very happy as it rolled back and forth in the pond and refused to sink. Instead, it floated on the surface and followed Tang Ling wherever he went.
Such a magical egg?
That was why Tang Ling had the strange thought of it existing in the form of an egg!
"What are you mumbling about?" Higan squatted beside the pond and used some simple tools to cook. She heard Tang Ling's soft mumble as if he was very sensitive about it.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling had been busy for the whole day. He chopped down trees, burned grass, leveled the land, dug the pond, fetched water, filled the pond, moved all kinds of stuff, and built the house.
If he was not a Purple Moon Warrior, he would be considered a superhuman compared to the commoners of the old civilization. He would not have been able to finish all the trivial tasks in a day.
As a matter of fact, if Tang Ling was alone, he would not have to be so particular, but regardless of where he was, he had to do his best to provide Higan with a relatively comfortable life. The thought made Tang Ling willing to waste a day or two to do all that.
Time to Tang Ling was used on things that were worth it.
However, with his busy schedule, the heavy responsibility of cooking fell on Higan's shoulders. Her cooking skills had always been indescribable.
Maybe because she knew that, Higan was sensitive and afraid that he was grumbling about the meal that was about to be served.
She had no choice. Even if the food tasted terrible, she wanted to cook for him. She was determined to do so, so all she could do was ask Tang Ling to help her improve her cooking skills.
I can't not eat!
Is this a little girl's stubbornness? Higan could not hold back her laughter as she hummed happily. She had completely forgotten that she was a little fierce when she questioned Tang Ling a second ago.
"Erm, I'm just …" Tang Ling scratched the back of his head. He wanted to explain that he was mumbling about mathematics, but how was he supposed to organize his complicated thoughts from start to finish?
Little did he expect that after a few words, Higan was already humming happily. It was just like what the books in the old civilization said. A girl's emotions could not keep up.
"What is it? Why are you so happy?" Tang Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and squatted beside her in a flattering manner.
Higan caressed his hair out of habit. After they confirmed their feelings, Tang Ling behaved like a puppy most of the time.
Unable to hold back the thought, Higan smiled sweetly and simply replied, "Nothing. I'm just thinking that our house is almost ready."
"Why are you so happy?" Tang Ling sniffled. Judging from the smell of the food, he had a bad feeling about it, but he could not show it. He calmly changed the topic. "But it's really amazing. It should be the most luxurious house, right? I'll use the bones of a super vicious beast as the foundation and I'll use the vicious beast pelt to seal the roof and make the walls. "
Tang Ling could not help but get excited. "Even a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior can't get a house like this, can he?"
"Mm-hmm." Higan was obviously not interested in all that. She nodded and decided to do whatever Tang Ling thought was good.
As a matter of fact, it was a flash of inspiration for Tang Ling. Be it the vicious beast bones or the vicious beast pelt, they were all gifts that the Island Master left for him.
The vicious beast pelt could not be used as food since it could only be used to replenish his energy. As for the vicious beast bones, there were two types. One was edible, but almost three quarters of the bones would be kept as nutrition for the Island Master after his rebirth.
The other type was filled with the pattern of the law and was inedible. Similar to the vicious beast pelt, it was best to be used as a material to forge practical equipment.
The super vicious beast materials were extremely precious in the Purple Moon era. The benefits of the materials were explained in detail in the final document that the Island Master left for Tang Ling.
Aside from all the other benefits, the one that concerned Tang Ling the most was that the materials would not lose their liveliness. They would automatically absorb energy to maintain their 'power'. Based on that alone, one could tell how precious the super vicious beast materials were.
However, even if they were not precious, they did not mean much in this time and space fragment, and Tang Ling did not have the ability to forge them or use them.
However, when he was building the house, he suddenly thought of a possibility. At the level of a super vicious beast, its skin and bones had the ability to absorb energy at all times, but to maintain its' power ', it did not require that much energy.
The extra energy would be absorbed by its original body.
Now that it no longer had its original body, the extra energy would spill out. So, could using the materials to build the house be considered a form of utilization?
Thinking about staying in the house filled with energy every minute and every second, the accumulated energy would be beneficial. After all, there was no Purple Moon in this time and space fragment, and unlike the outside world where one could sense sufficient energy after entering the space fragment, there was no Purple Moon.
Even if he failed, he would not suffer any losses. The house made from the super vicious beast materials was sturdy enough.
Of course, Tang Ling was not worried that the materials would not be able to absorb energy.
The Island Master had mentioned that as long as there was a pattern, there would be energy, and the so-called pattern contained a lot of things: the rotation of the planet, the revolution, the tides, water, fire, and so on.
However, Tang Ling could not sense the energy in the pre-Purple Moon Warrior stage, but the super vicious beast could. The vicious beast pelt and bones that it left behind could do the same. All that was left was to test whether his theory was feasible or not.
Tang Ling was engrossed in his thoughts, and Higan did not disturb him. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at him quietly. She liked watching Tang Ling in deep thought because she found him charming. The stew that she was cooking was a little burnt.
"What's that smell?" Higan was engrossed in the stew, but Tang Ling noticed the smell first.
Higan was shocked. She stuck her tongue out in embarrassment and tried to take the wok down in a flurry.
"Let me do it. Don't burn yourself." Tang Ling stopped her and started to clean the pot.
Higan watched Tang Ling work quietly. Somehow, the smile on her face turned a little sad, but Tang Ling was so focused on his work that he did not notice the change in Higan's expression.
Higan asked casually, "Are you going to break through tomorrow?"
"Hmm, I wonder if I can finish tomorrow." Tang Ling did not seem too concerned.
"If it's possible …" After hesitating for a while, Higan suddenly spoke in a serious tone. Tang Ling looked up at her in surprise.
Higan exhaled and said, "What I mean is, if it's possible, make sure you break through tomorrow and don't change it."
"Why do you care so much about this?" Tang Ling put the pot down and sat beside Higan.
Higan took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, "Tell me about the speculation left behind by the owner of the deserted island. The flow of time here is slower than the outside world."
"I don't know how much slower it is compared to the outside world. But we still have to go out. "
Higan's words did not sound logical at all. Others might not even understand it, but Tang Ling understood what she was trying to say.
They had been stuck in the space fragment for half a year, which meant that compared to the time spent in the outside world, Higan did not want Tang Ling to waste another minute.
Combining the speculations from the Island Owner, Tang Ling also had his own speculations. The time flow of this space fragment might be abnormal, but judging from all the clues, this mountain should be a foreign land, so there was a high chance that the normal time flow was preserved.
If they stayed in this mountain, there was a high chance that the time difference between them and the outside world would be the same.
Therefore, after Tang Ling decided to leave the space fragment, he brought Higan to this mountain to stay in case the distance between them and the outside world was too great.
After all, no matter how strong he was, the grudges and grudges would never disappear!
"Are you worried?" Tang Ling asked after he understood what Higan was trying to say. Actually, Tang Ling was a little surprised because Higan had never cared about such things, but after they entered the space fragment, she seemed to have changed a little.
"Mm-hmm." Higan nodded but did not explain further.
Tang Ling thought about it for a while before he replied, "You can break through tomorrow."
"What about you?" Higan was surprised. Based on what Tang Ling said, he should be ready.
"I need to test out a theory of mine." It was already evening. The gentle setting sun shone over the sky. Looking down from the mountain, the whole town looked like it was plated with a layer of soft golden light. It was unusually beautiful.
The sky above the mountain was still a strange grayish-blue color as if it was the border between day and night.
Tang Ling was not surprised because he had gotten used to it.
The sunrise and sunset in the outside world would affect the light and darkness in the mountain, but with his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling saw it clearly. The sky did not change at all. It was always the same grayish-blue color, but it would reveal its true color at dusk.
While watching the sunset at the foot of the mountain, Tang Ling held Higan's hand.
"What theory do you want to test out?" Higan leaned against Tang Ling naturally. The dancing light from the fire made her face blush, making her look beautiful and shy.
"Here." Tang Ling pointed at his dantian and said, "The energy I've accumulated is very thick. I feel like it's condensing …"
Up until this point, Tang Ling lit a cigarette. "I don't know whether my instinct is right or not, but I have a feeling that when the energy is fully condensed, it will be the limit of the energy I can accumulate. I want to try and break through the limit when I reach it."
"Have you heard anything about it in the outside world? About the accumulation limit? " For some reason, whenever Higan leaned against Tang Ling, she would unconsciously feel lazy. Even her voice sounded a little soft.
"No. The outside world says that you have to achieve the strength of nine bulls and two tigers and try to store as much energy as possible in your dantian before breaking through. Then, you have to get three resources that can aid you in breaking through. That's the perfect breakthrough," Tang Ling said casually as he looked further away with the cigarette in his mouth.
Higan also knew about all that.
"I see, it's just your guess. Then, let's go with your guess." After that, both of them said at the same time, "After all …"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Go ahead." Higan half-closed her eyes and hooked her arm around Tang Ling's.
"There's no way to make up for the time that we've fallen behind. All we can do is try something more radical and see if we can catch up."
"I think so too, and I think your idea will be correct." Higan shared the same thought as Tang Ling.
"Then, do you want to try and accumulate energy to this level before breaking through? We have enough resources. "Tang Ling poked at the fire in front of him.
"It's fine. I'm different. Besides … "Higan sounded like she was falling asleep as her voice got softer." Besides, I can't accumulate energy like this. My energy doesn't have the tendency to condense like yours. I think the others are like me and can't do it either. "
"Am I that special?" Tang Ling scratched his head. Since there were only the two of them in this secluded place, no matter what happened, it was not worth investigating, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.
Higan opened her eyes and looked at Tang Ling seriously. "Of course, you're the best!"
Tang Ling could not help but giggle like a fool. He caressed her hair and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his space.
The bamboo slips were undoubtedly the most precious item that Tang Ling had traded for in the Dream Domain, the Eye Forging. He had shared it with Higan a long time ago, but unfortunately, only Tang Ling and Tang Long could cultivate it in this world.
The bamboo slips targeted Precise Instinct, and only the two of them possessed Precise Instinct in the world.
"And this … is also the reason why I'm not in a hurry to break through." Tang Ling opened the bamboo slips in front of Higan. He was not afraid that the fire would burn the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips seemed to be impervious to fire and water. It was something that Tang Ling discovered by chance.
Higan seemed to have returned to her uninterested self. She lazily glanced over at the bamboo slips and waited for Tang Ling to continue.
"See this? It's about my Precise Instinct. No, I should call it the first stage of the Spirit Eye now." Tang Ling pointed at the words and pictures on the bamboo slips and explained to Higan excitedly.
"As a matter of fact, the cultivation stage of the Spirit Eye should be combined with one's own strength to achieve perfection. Just like how I'm now a Purple Moon Warrior, my strength is at the first stage. Before I break through to the second stage, it's best for my Spirit Eye to break through to the first stage. "
Tang Ling's words undoubtedly piqued Higan's curiosity. She looked up and asked, "It's been so long, but your Spirit Eye still hasn't broken through to the first stage?"
"Hmm, how should I put it? In terms of ability, it has broken through to the first stage and is even close to the second stage, but it's not a complete breakthrough. However, it was not a complete breakthrough. Who knew how to cultivate Precise Instinct? Boss Huang taught me a little, but it's not complete. I want to cultivate it to completion, "Tang Ling explained to Higan.
"Hmm, you're right.
There's also the little seed, "Tang Ling mumbled. "I feel like it's finally recovered, but it's not fully recovered yet. I have to wait for it to wake up."
In front of Higan, all of Tang Ling's secrets were laid bare, including the little seed.
Without a doubt, Tang Ling was waiting for the perfect time to break through. Even though he knew he might be lagging behind the outside world, he was not anxious.
However, would Higan's breakthrough go smoothly tomorrow? Tang Ling was a little worried, but when he thought about how mysterious and powerful Higan was, he somehow felt a little more confident.
However, why was she so powerful? Higan never told Tang Ling, but Tang Ling had some guesses in his mind.
