Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

It was so large that it exceeded their comprehension, but even with these numbers, Shenguang could understand what he was saying.

When combined, they form a broad concept, so broad that it seems almost ethereal and elusive.

A continent two hundred million light-years away—how terrifying!

"Brother Guang, if my two partners are asleep... doesn't that mean they can't participate in the championship?"

Li Xia remained silent for a while before deciding not to think about the Origin Continent. It was too far away; he could deal with it when he surpassed the ninth rank.

"Yes, but the more people participate in the competition, the better. For example, sometimes you have to spare some energy to help them."

You can either treat them as mere expendable items, but this little dragon is alright; the eggs of the Scaled Dragon are notoriously tough.

It may be of some help to you.

Is that so?

Li Xia nodded, deciding to ask a more in-depth question:

"What kind of enhancement is this dormancy? Will it directly lead to a rank advancement?"

"No, the energy here is too advanced, far exceeding the absorption range of a fourth-order apostle."

What you absorb is negligible; you could even say that this energy merely flows through your body surface.

There are benefits, but it's definitely not as extreme as you might think.

"You'd say...it raised their ceiling, right?"

Shenguang seemed to want to take this rare opportunity to give Li Xia a proper education:

"And you'll find that the same moves are much less powerful here; you've probably experienced that difference before."

Just like the apostles who returned to reality, they all had the illusion that they were gods.

Its power increases exponentially, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks with a single strike.

In reality, you haven't become weaker; it's just that your moves and your existence are far too insignificant compared to the Void Origin Continent.

It appears small because it cannot draw upon the power of the world itself.

It's not just the power; the gravity here is much greater. But according to Shenguang, he shouldn't be able to withstand the gravity here.

Could it be because of the Hall of Light?

After listening for a while, Aowu suddenly whispered:

"Does that mean the species living here are born at least at the ninth rank?"

Shenguang smiled and did not refute:

"Yes, even if you are not strong at birth, if you cultivate step by step, you will reach the ninth rank or above. There is no such thing as advancing to the next rank."

Even those born with extraordinary abilities, such as the offspring of some gods, the heirs of certain great clans, or certain other extraordinary beings, are born extremely powerful.

The things that apostles need to risk their lives for are things they are born with.

Just like you, if you hadn't become Xia's partner, but were a free person, you would probably be like that too.

There's no such thing as fairness in this world, is there?

Shenguang continued speaking to Li Xia:

"This is also what I wanted to tell you. You are the strongest fourth-tier apostle I have ever seen, but there are still some people on the Origin Continent who can rival you. Don't be careless."

After all, no matter how powerful the Temple of Light is, it won't give you all its resources, nor can it possibly give you all of them.

But they are different; they are truly overflowing with resources, they are born with them!

So please be careful!

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

This chapter mainly sets up the world-building; there will be a bit more detail in the settings. The new book will start tomorrow.

Writing this is really mentally taxing; I felt my brain heating up during the intracranial simulation.

Apostles are initially weak, and their potential ceiling is also low, but their scalability is unparalleled.

Chapter 7: A Terrifying Boost, Greatly Increasing Strength

In the boundless void, Li Xia was not surprised that someone was stronger than him.

For example, the offspring of a true god are born with divine bodies, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts are a top-level inheritance. However, they have only undergone one round of completion. The parts they needed in the early stages are complete, but they are far from reaching their limit.

Other factions also possess top-tier inheritances. As for equipment and weapons, Li Xia collected them all himself. There are no righteous rules among the top factions in the void; they can use the resources of their clans as they please.

Even though it's only at the fourth rank, its foundation is incredibly solid, and it has risen step by step.

The resources of the hall are certainly abundant, even frighteningly abundant, but these resources are not enjoyed by one person alone. Instead, they are shared by a large number of apostles. Li Xia can enjoy the fruits of his labor at his current level, while some apostles can only taste the blandness. This is the difference.

However, the power of the Hall lies in the fact that humans, beings from a Tier 0 world, can break through limits under its immense power and become stronger time and time again, something that no other race besides the Hall can do.

They might be able to help Li Xia reach the ninth rank, but they could never cultivate a supreme Hall of Immortals; that's the difference.

Not to mention the many unique facilities within the hall, and the fact that one can improve the proficiency of their abilities with only a negligible amount of spacetime power and hall points, which is quite astonishing for other races.

Under these circumstances, Shenguang actually said that those people were only comparable to Li Xia...

Hmm...it seems I am indeed very strong, a fourth-tier little tyrant!

"actually....."

Shenguang, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said:

"In the Origin Continent, there is indeed a simple way to help you directly advance to the ninth rank, but do you know how to use it?"

Li Xia shook her head decisively:

"No, I only believe in what I have cultivated myself, and in the effort and sweat I have put in."

Shenguang laughed heartily, reached out and pulled, as if tearing down the rainbow light from the sky. The feather seemed to enter a special space, and the mountains and rivers below turned into extremely illusory shadows.

The feather boat traversed an extremely long distance in an instant, stopping in front of a magnificent city, and then drifted down to the ground.

"Yunzhi City is the main city of the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan is a relatively neutral race that doesn't like fighting much, but prefers things like planting and gathering herbs."

The reputation is quite good, mainly because it is built on a branch node of the earth's veins, where energy is abundant.

There are also large teleportation portals; we'll just go through here. We probably won't be staying here for long.

Shenguang slowly walked towards this great city, whose walls alone were over ten thousand meters high, while also introducing the most basic information:

"We should be able to stay here for about two or three days. The Void Battle Tournament will start soon."

However, I'm afraid I can't pass on my experience from the championship tournament, since the content of each tournament is different.

Li Xia's focus wasn't on the championship, but rather on his curiosity about why they needed to use a portal to get there.

The Temple of Light cannot directly teleport them there?

"Of course you can. If you want to use the Hall of Light to teleport, it can send you away from anywhere."

Are you sure you want to use it?

Li Xia was wary of any facilities that weren't part of the main hall, and immediately stated definitively:

"Hmm, I still prefer to use—"

"The Eldar's portals are known throughout the Void for their comfort, especially their unique design. Not only can you experience a special teleportation sensation similar to a full-body massage, but you can also enjoy medicinal therapy thanks to the addition of elixirs."

Li Xia raised an eyebrow and said righteously and solemnly:

"Of course, we'll use the Eldar's portal. Comfort isn't important; we just want to experience a different world."

Seeing Shen Guang's somewhat mischievous smile, Li Xia remained calm, completely unconcerned about such formalities.

As the city wall drew closer, Li Xia looked up and truly understood the weight of the words "majestic city."

The 10,000-meter-high city wall was not actually made of bricks and stones, but rather formed naturally by the roots of a tree that encircled the city.

A vast expanse of land was marked out, and the shadow behind it was that towering tree that reached the sky.

However, compared to the Primordial Tree that Li Xia had seen, this one could only be considered a junior.

He took a deep breath and silently increased his height from 10,000 meters to 10,000 miles in his mind.

It has been discovered that a creature ten thousand meters long is practically a maggot on the original continent!

The maggots might even be longer than 10,000 meters!

"Let's go into town and take a look."

Shen Guang smiled and strode forward, with Li Xia following closely behind. As they approached the city gate, two enormous spirit wood doors slowly opened inward, and a breeze carrying a mixture of herbal fragrance, the fresh scent of grass and trees, and the warmth of crystals rushed in, refreshing and invigorating.

Above the gate, the totem of the Spirit Race is carved, which looks a bit like a tree, and you can vaguely see vein-like spiritual light flowing in the walls and inside the gate.

After passing through the gate, Li Xia suddenly froze, standing there motionless.

He was suddenly filled with something indescribable. After entering the hall, he traveled to worlds that were almost all Western fantasy and magical.

But at this moment he saw familiar carved beams and painted rafters, even if they were only somewhat similar, and there were even many buildings with a Western fantasy style.

But he finally saw it on the original continent—he saw architecture in the Eastern style!

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just really like the unique style here."

"You mean these flying eaves and glazed tiles? Hmm, this isn't some niche style. You'll get used to it after you see it a lot."

The two walked slowly through the city. The streets were incredibly wide, and the road surface was not made of ordinary stone slabs, but of whole pieces of warm jade, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the well-arranged buildings on both sides.

On the left side of the street are magnificent buildings in the style of the East, with glowing lanterns made of magical herbs hanging from their eaves, radiating a soft glow.

The wooden pillars under the eaves are carved from a single log, with purple spirit vines wrapped around them. The vines bear fist-sized flower buds that open at the slightest touch, releasing tiny specks of light that fall onto the shoulders of passersby and transform into a faint green glow, invigorating the spirit.

The streets were bustling with people of all races, a sight to behold. An elf dressed in white, holding a crystal bottle, was talking to a spirit girl whose skin was fair but had fine vein patterns resembling leaves.

The tall orc carried a huge spirit crystal on his shoulder, his mane burning like fire, and a petite girl with beast ears followed beside him.

Transparent crystal creatures, as if sculpted from crystal, tugged at the vines, while shadow creatures with glowing red eyes passed right through pedestrians, completely unconcerned about collisions, yet they bounced off the light creatures enveloped in light...

The void is filled with countless races, each unique and wondrous!

Shenguang walked to an exceptionally large warm jade brick, stood on it, and gestured for Li Xia to follow suit.

Under the astonished gazes of Li Xia and Ao Wu, Nuan Yu suddenly floated up, rising high and flying in one direction.

"Under normal circumstances, flying is prohibited in each city unless there is a special permit, but each city is very large, so all kinds of tools have emerged."

For example, the one we're using now—"

Shenguang tapped the ground with his toes and said with a smile:

"This is a large hotel in Yunzhi City. You can think of it as a private passage that can only take you to the hotel and a few fixed locations."

Only guests who have already made a reservation can use it for free.

Hotel...direct elevator?

The warm jade flew extremely fast, and in just a short while it landed on a square. Unexpectedly, it did not stop, but instead carried them down into the ground. The darkness vanished in an instant, and a faint light came into view.

"Yunhai Tower is considered one of the best hotels in the entire Yunzhi City. It has a nice view and is a good place to rest."

Although it was Yunhai Tower, Li Xia felt something was off about the lobby, which looked like it was underwater. There were even beautiful mermaid-like creatures swimming around in the air, their bodies sparkling and their expressions incredibly alluring.

But when he followed Shenguang into the room, he finally understood why it was called Yunhai Tower!

The elegant room was exceptionally spacious, and there was a light mist outside the window, indicating that we were at a very high place.

"I'll stay in the room next door, so I can rest well. If I want to go out for a walk, I can buy some things I like."

Shenguang waved his hand, not knowing what the point was for a fragment of his mind to stay at a hotel, but judging from his appearance, it was obviously not his first time here.

Could it be that Brother Guang... has clones running around randomly in the void?

The door closed gently, and the whole room fell silent. Outside the window, the clouds rose and fell like waves, truly living up to its name as a sea of ​​clouds.
