Chapter 3004 - Seventh-class Astral Hole
Chapter 3004 – Seventh-class Astral Hole
Tianming felt like the distance to Myriadpath Valley was quite far and would take at least a few months to cross it by flight, which would be even longer than the journey from the Infinitum Mundus.
“There’s astralships dedicated to the route,” Li Fan said.
“Oh, I see.” Tianming nodded. He used to think that Myriadpath Valley didn’t have astralships, but now he realized that it wouldn’t be possible for a place like this to lack them.
Moreover, since Myriadpath Valley could establish stareyes across the entire Million Mundi, they had to have astralships even more terrifying than the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.
Soon, Li Fan led him aboard a black astralship. It was a public transportation vehicle, but it was also quite large. The astral gods who boarded basically didn’t talk to each other and each of them had their own space.
It only took a few glances for Tianming to spot a few foundationeers.
“Don’t randomly look around or you might get killed, and not even I would be able to help you,” Li Fan reminded him.
“Got it!” Tianming grit his teeth. He knew that he had to change his way of doing things and internalize the fact that he was nothing here in Myriadpath Valley. Standing on the astralship, he gazed into the distance at Myriadpath Valley, which was engulfed in light, and pondered the path ahead.
As he gradually approached his destination, he squinted and saw tens of thousands of dark stone tablets floating above it. Each of them was extremely heavy and vast, so much so that they were many times larger than Ebonia. The closer he looked, the more he realized that even if all of Ebonia’s soil was condensed, it could only be made into a few of these stone tablets. In other words, they were much larger than infinitum-class astralships.
Among them, the largest stone tablet in the front had two big words carved on it: Midsky Myriadpath! The two words were majestic and imposing, displaying the vast and mighty power of the martial path’s holy land at the center of the astralscape of order.
“Midsky Myriadpath? What does that mean? What are those stone tablets?” Tianming asked, inwardly trembling. Although he hadn’t entered yet, his emotions had already been infected by the overbearing nature of the place. For him, the status of Myriadpath Valley was constantly rising.
“Those are the myriadpath steles, which have been around since the establishment of Myriadpath Valley. Their role is second only to the Myriadpath Sourcespring and the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. It is said that each of them records a fortuna-class technique or battle art, and there are ten thousand in total.
“At my current level, I’m far from being able to access them, nor do I have the opportunity to practice them. But perhaps you will in the future! You should know that even if you add up all the fortuna-class techniques and combat skills in the Million Mundi, it may not exceed a thousand, but Myriadpath Valley itself has ten thousand. Do you understand what that means?” Li Fan looked at the myriadpath steles, his eyes burning. It was another divine object!
“Although you’re new here, you’ve already recognized all three of Myriadpath Valley’s divine objects in one go,” Li Fan continued. The Myriadpath Sourcespring, the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, and the myriadpath steles!
“That’s right, that’s right.” Tianming looked up at the myriadpath steles. Each of them had a profound history, countless divine patterns, and countless restrictions. The density and complexity of the restrictions were ten thousand times higher than the ancestral guidance steles of the Lin Clan.
However, Tianming couldn’t help but raise his left hand. “I wonder if there’s a chance….” The heart of a sky plunderer couldn’t help but itch.
“What?” Li Fan saw his strange expression and became curious.
“Nothing!” Tianming said.
“Don’t think too much. The complexity of Myriadpath Valley is beyond your imagination right now. For now, your goal should be to pass through the Skyward Grandpath. I’ll explain the details when we enter Myriadpath Valley,” Li Fan gravely said.
“Okay.” Tianming wasn’t in a hurry. He knew in his heart that, as the Myriadpath Sourcespring was one of the three divine objects of Myriadpath Valley, how could it be easily obtained? Although the Sun and Ebonia’s countless lives had been met with disaster, it was by no means something that could be resolved overnight.
“Oh, huh.” As Tianming got closer to Myriadpath Valley, he felt a power. “Not nova source, but rather similar to the Xenoabyss… or is it the Ancestral World?
The primeval source of the Ancestral World was a very pure power, while Xeno source was related to the soul and able to nurture it.
This power of Myriadpath Valley felt like it had been born from nova source, but had the purity of primeval source and the violent nature of nova source. The fusion of the two kinds of power gave it a strong and perfect feeling.
“This is called midsky essence, a fusion of fortuna-class nova source and the primeval source of the Ancestral World. It’s the highest level of power in the astralscape and is more pure, majestic, and even thicker than infinitum-class nova source!” Li Fan said with a sense of superiority.
“Midsky essence? Fortuna-class nova source?” Tianming looked at Myriadpath Valley and said, “Why do I feel like Myriadpath Valley is a bit like an astral hole? Could it be…?” Tianming thought of Primary. It was a destroyed nova source world which had its fusion formation collapsed.
“That’s right, Myriadpath Valley is indeed the silent state of a fortuna-class world,” Li Fan said.
“A seventh-class world?”
“Yes, seventh class! However, the history of our Myriadpath Valley begins after its silence, so there’s no records in the Million Mundi of this fortuna-class world before that,” Li Fan said.
“That’s strange.”
“There’s nothing we can do. The history of Myriadpath Valley is already long enough,” Li Fan said.
“Oh, right—in the Million Mundi, are there no seventh-class worlds?” Tianming felt it shouldn’t be like that! A seventh-class world was ten times the volume of a sixth-class world, right? It didn’t seem too difficult.
“Do you think that ten infinitum-class worlds can make up a fortuna-class world?” Li Fan laughed.
Tianming actually nodded. He felt that ten Ebonias could bring the Sun back to fortuna-class.
“In the Million Mundi, there are no seventh-class nova source worlds. It’s said that in fortuna-class worlds, nova source undergoes fundamental changes that cannot be achieved by simply accumulating volume. Even in the Million Mundi, there are infinitum-class worlds that’re more than thirty times the volume of Ebonia, but they still can’t be considered fortuna-class. To reach fortuna-class, it’s said that volume doesn’t matter much. After all, no matter how much rubbish there is, it’s still rubbish, while gold is gold even if it’s just a small piece,” Li Fan said.
“Can it be like this?” Tianming was speechless, because his worldview had been overturned. Since he’d learned about fortuna-class worlds, he had always thought that they were just ten times the size of Ebonia. That was the rule from heliacal to infinitum-class, after all. But in the end, Li Fan was telling him that, after the seventh-class, the rules changed.
He was dumbfounded.
“So, is the existence of the midsky essence and the special nature of fortuna-class worlds related?” Tianming asked.
“Yes! It’s possible that fortuna-class worlds and above have some connection with the Ancestral World. After all, the Myriadpath Sourcespring flows out from there. All midsky essence is blended with the power of the Ancestral World, and because of that, the cultivators of Myriadpath Valley are more perfect than any other power system in any realm. Here, the highest bloodlines of the Million Mundi are gathered!” Li Fan said.
Tianming could only applaud him.
