Chapter 700: 643 Concept Three

"Forcefully creating a new comparison... thus creating an opponent’s weakness from another dimension?"

Li Chengyi, in the instant he heard these words, quickly compared his previous fight with the Soul Whale and suddenly had an epiphany.

If the Soul Whale had been attacking him from an entirely new dimension that he was unable to touch, then it was normal for him not to be aware of it.

Because he had no fundamental understanding of this dimension, naturally, he wouldn’t know how to counter attacks coming from this direction.

"It seems you’re beginning to understand," Tian Xuanzi said with a smile. "The greatest danger of Eternal Vitality lies in the next phase of acceleration. In the period when you are transitioning from the Saint Position to the dimension, a normal Dimensional Demon God would need at least tens of thousands of years to accumulate a complete dimensional system. And you..."

Li Chengyi nodded.

The acceleration of Eternal Vitality becomes faster towards the end; therefore, the time he had left must not be much.

"Disciple understands. Furthermore, I would like to ask for guidance on how to create dimensions?" he inquired with respect.

"Dimensions already exist; the difficult part is that you need to create a new dimension. Here, the Taboo System naturally has a huge advantage. That’s why it’s so coveted. Have you perhaps figured it out?" Instead of answering directly, Tian Xuanzi asked.

Li Chengyi pondered for a few seconds, then nodded, showing he understood.

"Disciple understands. The Taboo System, due to the uniqueness of its knowledge, naturally possesses its own complete logical system. Using this logical system as a measure, gauging everything, it can logically sculpt a new dimensional perspective!"

"Correct," Tian Xuanzi nodded. "Thus, what you need to do is to use your system as a starting point, gradually measure everything with it, and perfect your view of all things. When your worldview becomes complete, your dimension will naturally take shape."

He paused for a moment.

"As for the attacker you’re concerned about, don’t mind them. You can use them as a whetstone, sharpening yourself, honing your brilliance. Life’s splendor cannot shine without weathering storms."

"Does Master know the identity and origin of the attacker?" Li Chengyi, still somewhat unwilling to let it go, asked again.

"They’re merely remnants of Royal’s City, that’s all," Tian Xuanzi said, his expression gentle and unconcerned.

"Disciple...understands," Li Chengyi said, seeing his demeanor, realizing that the grandmaster must already know, and said no more.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"No more, thank you, Master, for resolving my doubts," Li Chengyi said, bowing deeply.

"A knife won’t be sharp if not honed, and jade must be carved to form. You should know that strength always shines through after overcoming countless obstacles. Without downfall, there can be no triumph. Every powerful being must go through countless difficulties and enemies. The powerful will fail, will be frustrated, and will have doubts. Only the strongest remain undefeated and unyielding. Without achieving ultimate strength, they are bound to fall midway."

Tian Xuanzi said lightly, "Do you want to be strong or the strongest?"

Li Chengyi fell silent.

After a moment, he asked, "Can the strong live undisturbed, the life they wish for themselves?"

"Strength is only relative," Tian Xuanzi shook his head. "Among the strong, there are always stronger ones. The strong, when faced with someone stronger, will naturally experience setbacks. If you want to live the life you desire, untouched by disturbance, only the strongest can achieve it."

"What about the strongest?" Li Chengyi pressed on.

"The strongest won’t be troubled by others, but the path is incredibly arduous, and even we do not dare to claim to be the strongest," Tian Xuanzi said with feeling.

"Does Master know how to become the strongest?" Li Chengyi thought for a moment before asking.

"The pinnacle of strength must touch limits. And those who transcend those limits and exist on a different level, who can defeat many single-handedly without falling, can be called the strongest," Tian Xuanzi answered succinctly.

Li Chengyi pondered. At their level, in an instant, thousands of thoughts could flash through their minds, much clearer and deeper than ordinary people could comprehend.

In a few seconds, he had simulated in his mind the experiences a strongest being had to endure.

"How can one step out of a painting if they are within it?" he suddenly asked again.

"Limits," Tian Xuanzi smiled, raising a finger.

It was only then that Li Chengyi noticed that the grandmaster had ten fingers on one hand; both hands together made twenty fingers.

"How do you find these limits?" he asked again.

"First reach the peak, then overflow. Only then can you perceive the edge of limits, and then you can exceed them. Of course, this is our way. A painting has its method of breaking through borders, other fields have other methods. Adaptation governs change, there are no fixed numbers."

Li Chengyi carefully digested these words, feeling as if he had a complete understanding of the entire ascending process.

For a long time, he bowed deeply to Tian Xuanzi once more.

"Thank you, Master, for the guidance!"

This time his gratitude was genuine and undistracted. Many things seemed simple and clear, but without the capital to make mistakes, one wrong step could mean a chasmic difference.

So, this lesson was Tian Xuanzi’s greatest guidance to Li Chengyi.

"Go. The strong remain strong, and so do the strongest. But remember, the foundation of a dimension lies in the base concept. For comparisons, whether to compare weakness or strength, wealth or poverty, all are determined by the base concept. The determination of the base concept will also decide the direction of your future when you achieve Omniscience," Tian Xuanzi dismissed him with a wave of his sleeve.

In an instant, the world spun, and Li Chengyi’s vision blurred as he found himself back on the streets of Silent Oblivion City.

The tiger-headed human City Lord had left, and the streets were full of Tian Ju Pavilion disciples coming and going.

Some were shadows of the past, others were newcomers of the present. Their forms were either transparent or solid as they moved about, lasting and flowing endlessly, passing by Li Chengyi.

"First the peak, then the overflow, then the clear edge, thus can one comprehend what limits are, and finally break through..." Li Chengyi chewed over this phrase in his mind. For a while, it seemed like he gained understanding of countless truths from within.

"It looks like it’s time to go back. Time is limited. After making everything clear, I will immediately begin exploring dimensions." The more he thought about it, the clearer Li Chengyi became about the path ahead.

Cold Hut.

After waving goodbye to Li Chengyi, Tian Xuanzi remained quietly sitting on his stool, gazing at the distant farmland without moving.

"A remnant of Royal’s City dares to strike at your disciple, yet you do not protect him?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

"How does elder brother know I didn’t protect him?" Tian Xuanzi said with a smile, not turning his head.

"Indeed, going to the Black Sea Depths to attain Saint Position must have been a matter you had calculated long ago. Even the influences of the Blind Spot can be guided," the voice sighed. "The world’s fate, all unexpected events, are inevitable, the only difference being whether the arranger is a person or an object."

"Royal’s City is already a relic of a bygone era, not withstanding a single blow. The Blind Spot’s influence is but the remnants of an object, and if this dying ember could forge an Omniscient pinnacle, then that is an object fulfilling its purpose," Tian Xuanzi chuckled.

"Are you that confident?" the voice asked, surprised.

"As elder brother said, it is the destiny of an object. If successful, everything will be within my control. If I fail, I can still infer its principles and glimpse unseen landscapes, thereby progressing further," Tian Xuanzi explained.

"I see. At our level, finding even a trace of the unknown within the known is indeed fortunate," the voice gradually faded away.

Tian Xuanzi was left alone, sitting quietly with a smile on his face.

"How rare to have extra variables creating the unknown, such an opportunity... perhaps it can become a nourishment for my path..."

Had he exerted his power, he could naturally discern the outlines of The First Generation’s plans, but why should he?

For now, he was still unaware of that region, as the power of Royal’s City shielded his foresight of these matters.

Tian Xuanzi greatly enjoyed this novelty of unknowns emerging in his mind.

Even when faced with the unknown regions of the Black Sea, he never felt this way.

It was the emergence of new unknowns in his known territory, signifying that his control over the known was not as complete as he imagined.

At their level, finding one’s own weakness was too challenging... Only an enemy could make every effort to help oneself grow from a new angle and uncover weaknesses.

On the other side.

Li Chengyi left Silent Oblivion City and returned to Earth-Moon.

Earth-Moon, now a hub connecting multiple realms, had become a center for the exchange of resources, with a wealth of materials traded here, bringing in considerable tax revenue.

Merchants and caravans from various realms, big and small, quickly discovered this business opportunity.

They used the border regions for large-scale exchanges.

The unique diversity of goods, while promoting inter-realm interactions, also began to gradually close the distance between realms.

When Li Chengyi returned to Earth-Moon, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.

In the area near Suiyang City, a multitude of new metal buildings had sprung up, and between the buildings, flying vehicles shuttled non-stop.

In such a short time, a comprehensive logistics city had been built around their underground base.

Inside the base.

A group from the team sat together around a white long table, looking at each other.

"Boss, this is the situation. With more traders, there’s a need for supplies, which attracted new merchants. The merchants brought their families and children, increasing the flow of people. That attracted more people to join, and then... gradually, it turned into this..." Rainbow Candy shrugged helplessly, spreading her hands to show her resignation.

"That’s all fine, but security is the main issue that must be tightened," Li Chengyi nodded. He tapped the table and pondered.

"Do we have temporary storage for circulating goods?" His first thought was the merit accumulation in Tian Ju Pavilion to raise star levels; if he could accumulate enough, he could request support from the Pavilion.

So...

"Of course, we have storage, and I’m managing it," Da Xiong said, sitting with one leg cocked up on a chair, pushing a list of inventory across.

Li Chengyi took the list, noticing that it was a dynamic electronic paper that automatically displayed rows of goods with various patterns and parameters.

At a glance, the screen flickered, showing hundreds of different kinds on just one page.

Li Chengyi quickly scanned the list, paying attention to the changes in the Purple Cloud Ornament at his waist.

The Purple Cloud Ornament could become a sensing tool for accumulating stars, and when it detected something needed by Tian Ju Pavilion, it would automatically flicker to notify him.

Soon enough, Li Chengyi found two items that people in the Pavilion had requested.

He quickly selected and purchased them with the team’s funds. Two items meant two star levels, and gaining two star levels so easily pleased Li Chengyi greatly.

Once he reached Nine Stars, he would obtain a request privilege.

"By the way, what currency are we using for circulation now?" he suddenly asked.
