"…"
The adolescent boy shook his head vehemently.
He had seen plenty of geniuses from the various races, and he had seen wave after wave of experts. In fact, he was even confident that he would stand toe to toe with the strongest experts on the Master Teacher Continent.
But … to advance one's cultivation so swiftly as if it was just eating and drinking … he had never even heard of such a thing before!
Not even Kong Shi back then was able to advance his cultivation so swiftly!
Was he still a human?
"Did you … make use of the spatial secret art that I gave you to advance your cultivation?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, the adolescent boy asked.
It was just a moment ago that the other party had imparted him a book on spatial laws, but before he could even open it, he had already reached Saint 9-dan pinnacle. Could it be that the other party had really received some kind of inspiration to advance his cultivation so quickly?
Just that … he was the one who had written those books, so he knew them very well. There was nothing in them that could help one advance their cultivation swiftly.
"Oh, they don't look bad at all, but there are simply too many flaws in them. If I were to learn them directly, there's bound to be a problem," Zhang Xuan said with a nod.
"Too many flaws? Too many flaws? "
The adolescent boy felt his hair standing on end, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
In the battle with the Luo Clan, he was able to compress space with just a tap of his finger, allowing him to traverse a distance of several million li … No matter how one looked at it, it was clear that the other party's comprehension of space was on par with any expert of the Luo Clan.
To think that the books that he had written personally would be criticized as having too many flaws … and he even had a look of disdain on them!
Disdain your head!
"May I know what kind of flaws are causing you such a headache? Can you tell me more about them? "
The adolescent boy asked with gritted teeth.
If not for the fact that the Young Mistress was here, he would have long slapped this arrogant fellow to death!
"There's no harm in telling you!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "According to your book, the more stable a space is, the more difficult it is to breach it. Only by finding a wormhole in a stable space will one be able to jump through it, or else it will collapse, making it nigh impossible to recover!"
"That's right!"
The adolescent boy nodded. "Folded spaces are extremely unstable, and if one exerts too much force in them, they will collapse. The space on the Master Teacher Continent is much more stable, making it much more difficult to breach it. What's wrong with that? "
How many tens of thousands of years ago had this understanding of space been passed down by predecessors? Could it be that there was a problem with it?
"You're wrong. Space is actually flowing! Not stability, "Zhang Xuan said.
"Flow?" The boy stared blankly for a moment before bursting into laughter. "How is that possible? We live in space, and it really is flowing. How could we not know?"
"Do the fish in the river know that the river is flowing?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"This …"
The boy was stunned.
The river was wide and deep enough that the fish and shrimps living in it did not know that the river was flowing.
It was as if … he had been to some planets that were suspended in the void. Looking from afar, he could see them constantly spinning, but when he landed on the ground, he couldn't sense them at all.
"Space is flowing, so the wormhole will flow along with it. If you can find the traces in the flow, just like the lines on a tree, and follow the lines, there won't be any problems with space, and it won't collapse! In other words, swimming along the flow of space is like a fish in a river. I've never heard of a fish swimming too fast and causing a river to flow in reverse! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Actually, this wasn't his theory but the Soul Traverse that he had learned from Lu Chong.
Soul oracles were able to traverse short distances freely, but it was impossible for them to traverse through wormholes. Teleportation would cause a huge disturbance in space, and one would be able to appear before the target without them noticing.
"This … This …" The boy's body stiffened.
With his cultivation, he could easily tell that the young man before him was speaking the truth, just that … it had completely overturned everything that he had learned.
"There is a certain occupation that possesses the strongest control over space … but I have read quite a few books on this occupation, and the theories they contain are the same as mine. I have never heard of such an occupation before!"
The boy said.
"The occupation that possesses the strongest control over space … should be the soul oracles, right? Soul oracles are formed from their will, and they are more adept at manipulating space. Do you have any books on this occupation? "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Based on what he knew, the occupation that possessed the strongest control over space was the soul oracles.
It was for this reason that Lu Chong was able to achieve Space Traverse, something that even Zheng Yang was unable to do!
However, back then, the soul oracles had sided with the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and they had been exterminated by Mingshi Tang. Their heritage had been severed, and Lu Chong had only managed to obtain their heritage after entering the hidden ancestral ground, thus raising his cultivation significantly … How could the boy before him possibly have any books on this occupation?
Could it be that … the heritage of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers originated from Kong Shi? Perhaps, he had managed to obtain such books before the war back then?
"Ah …"
Shaking his head, the boy chose not to answer Zhang Xuan's question. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan earnestly and asked, "Can you tell me what other problems there are?"
If he had thought that the other party was spouting nonsense earlier, through this exchange, he could tell that the other party's understanding of space was far deeper than his.
Seeing the earnest look on the boy's face, Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "There are thirteen flaws in your books …"
"…" Lozosy.
Her original intention was for the adolescent boy, Wu Chen, to offer pointers to the young man whom she liked so that he could achieve a breakthrough and reach greater heights … Why did the latter end up offering him pointers instead?
More importantly … the earnest look on Wu Chen's face seemed to indicate that he had benefited greatly from it …
Just who was the one offering whom pointers?
"Don't bother. Someone is coming …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to point out the thirteen flaws in the books, Lozosy's voice suddenly sounded.
Taken aback, the two of them came to a halt.
Previously, when they stopped, they had used a unique method to conceal themselves and seal off the surrounding space. As such, even if they were to continue speaking, no one would be able to notice them.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Xuan, a few figures dressed in long robes had appeared in the empty mountain range from a moment ago.
These robes bore some resemblance to master teacher robes, but they were made of black cloth, making them seem eerie and sinister.
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at them.
There was a total of four of them, and they seemed to be in their thirties.
"Could they be the Otherworldly Demons who kidnapped Zhao Ya and the others?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Only the Hundred Schools of Philosophers or the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were capable of such a deed. Since Lozosy had said that she wasn't an Otherworldly Demon, it was likely that they were the latter!
Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath as he raised his finger, ready to tap on the droplet of liquid in his palm. Turning to the young lady, he asked, "Should we make a move?"
"Wait a moment!" Lozosy shook her head. "We aren't too familiar with this ancient domain. Why don't we let them enter first before making any further plans?"
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
(The invigilator for the mid-term examination today might be busy, but the three chapters won't be missing. I'm still looking for monthly votes.)
