Chapter 1497: 997 The Deep Void_2

Of course, this is not to say that the void has only forty-nine layers; rather, with Jiang Chen’s strength, he can only see the forty-ninth layer of the void. The deeper void, beyond his reach, had already exceeded his capabilities.

"Forty-nine layers of the void!"

"Forty-nine, a very mysterious number. The saying goes, ’The great spreads to fifty, perfection stops at forty-nine’; it’s a number that inevitably provokes much thought."

"It is probably only the Taoist Ancestors, those supreme beings who have transcended Primordial Chaos, who can see the fiftieth layer of the void."

Jiang Chen felt that if even he could not see the fiftieth layer of the void, then other Saints definitely could not either. It belongs to a realm Above the Chaos.

Why say that the true essence of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and even the True Spirit of the Pangu Great God, are hidden deep within the void? It is precisely because of this.

Because it is a mystery, and no one can see the deepest part of the void, and the only Taoist Ancestor who can, remains silent about it, this naturally gives rise to countless speculations.

However, Jiang Chen finds this speculation quite reasonable. The true essence of Heaven, Earth, and Man might not be in the deepest part of the void, but the True Spirit of the Pangu Great God very likely hides there.

The Pangu Great God has not perished, and is even silently observing every move in the Prehistoric World; of this Jiang Chen can be sure.

So, where exactly is the Pangu Great God hiding and watching over the Prehistoric World? The greatest possibility is in the deepest part of the void.

"The deepest part of the void, not only mysterious but also dangerous, even Saints dare not linger in the last few layers of the void for long. There is undoubtedly a secret there."

Jiang Chen rarely pays attention to the matters deep within the void because the matters of reality are already keeping him busy enough.

And in the Prehistoric World, if there were to be a power most knowledgeable about the void, it would undoubtedly be the Mystic Sect and Demon Sect; these two major powers’ experts have constantly been researching the secrets hidden in the void.

As for why they do this, the reason is quite simple: they are compelled to. If they could meddle in the matters of reality, why bother exploring the void?

The Demon Sect is so pressured by the Mystic Sect that it doesn’t even have a foothold in the Prehistoric World, thus, they have no choice but to explore the void, trying to find a new way out.

As for the Mystic Sect, in the Ancient Era, the witches and demons dominated Heaven and Earth, causing many experts to close their doors and ignore worldly affairs. Later, with the Human Race dominating Heaven and Earth and the overall environment deteriorating day by day, these experts gradually lost interest in reality.

With nothing better to do in reality, they turned their attention to the void. Since they were idle anyway, why not thoroughly explore the secrets of the void?

"The deep void is the private ground of the Mystic Sect; even the Human Race cannot extend its influence here, which shows how profoundly complicated it is."

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen thought of something; the Human Race knows very little about the deeper parts of the void. Even in the development of the void, they have not invested much manpower.

There are many reasons for this, but overall, two factors have the greatest impact.

Firstly, just developing the real world has already consumed all the Human Race’s efforts, leaving them no power to develop the void world. Secondly, it is the obstruction by the Mystic Sect; the Mystic Sect seems reluctant to see the Human Race explore the void world.

From the obstruction by the Mystic Sect in exploring the void world, it can be seen that there must be great benefits in the void world, which is why the Mystic Sect considers it their own private land and prohibits outsiders from interfering.

"Today, I am determined to see what this ’inner’ world is truly like!"

Standing on the outermost layer of the void, Jiang Chen looked toward the layers upon layers of worlds.

Compared to the real world, the void world is even more vast, with each layer more expansive than the last—the deeper one goes, the more one discovers the vastness and emptiness of the inner world.

Empty!

Indeed empty!

From the second layer of the void onwards, it can be seen that the deeper one goes into the void, the less material substance there is. By the ninth layer of the void, materials are almost non-existent, and only those powerful immortality medicines and herbs can exist.

Then comes the tenth layer, the eleventh layer—the void becomes emptier and emptier, and the materials inside become fewer and fewer, but whatever remains is without exception a powerful treasure.

Boom Boom Boom!

In the thirty-sixth layer of the Endless Void, Jiang Chen saw a vast river, more magnificent than any other river he had seen before, even the Heavenly River above the Nine Heavens could not compare to it.

River of Destiny!

With just one glance, Jiang Chen recognized the origin of this river, it was indeed the River of Destiny, formed by the destinies of all living beings.

Among all living beings between Heaven and Earth, their destinies are contained within it, and only those who can leap out of it can reach the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign.

It is also from this layer of void that the treasures existing here are all of the level of Innate Spiritual Treasures. Those below this level are devoured by nothingness, turning into nothing.

Similarly, only cultivators of the Innate Dao Sovereign level can enter the void layers beyond the thirty-sixth layer of void, those of lower realms who forcefully enter deeper levels of void will instantly turn into nothingness, with no chance of revival.

Looking further, Jiang Chen in the forty-fifth layer of void saw a river even more vast than the River of Destiny.

This river has only a source but no end, eternally rushing forward as if it could reach the very end of time.

River of Time and Space!

One of the two great rivers of the Prehistoric World, the River of Time and Space!

Those who leap out of this river can attempt to break through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, succeed and become Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, fail and become Great Divine Transcendents.

In this layer of void, aside from the River of Destiny, Jiang Chen also saw the Great Shang Treasure Vault.

Indeed, the Great Shang Treasure Vault is located in the forty-fifth layer of the void of the Time River. Beyond the forty-fifth layer of void, Jiang Chen could no longer see clearly.

In the forty-sixth layer of void, Jiang Chen could still vaguely see some things, but from the forty-seventh layer of void onward, he could no longer see anything.

Beyond the forty-fifth layer of void, only the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial can reach that territory, and the current Jiang Chen is not yet qualified to reach there.

"Forty-fifth layer of void, this is really a great place, only Quasi-Saints in their later stages and stronger beings can reach here."

"This is the threshold, which blocks many cultivators outside effectively, preventing them from approaching the Great Shang Treasure Vault."

Jiang Chen praised the methods of the ancestors, no wonder so many years have passed and no one has found the whereabouts of the Great Shang Treasure Vault, it turns out the predecessors somehow sent it to the forty-fifth layer of void.

Firstly, the forty-fifth layer of void is immensely vast, numerous times bigger than the Three Realms, making it extremely difficult to find anything inside.

Furthermore, the power contained within the forty-fifth layer of void is extremely strong, without the cultivation of late-stage Quasi-Saints, one simply cannot reach there. Even if one arrives there, they would turn into nothingness in an instant due to being unable to withstand the power of the void.

"Prehistoric World has three great mysterious places, the first is the Boundless Starry Sky above, the second is the Endless Abyss below, and this third one, is the Endless Void located among mortals."

"And of these three great mysterious places, the only one that has not encountered problems now is only the Endless Void. The starry sky was destroyed, and has not yet been fully restored, the Endless Abyss has been invaded by Chaos Demigod, a mishap could lead to a massive calamity."

Thinking of the legends spread among the elite, Jiang Chen took steps forward, moving deeper into the void.

Jiang Chen’s personality is relatively proactive, instead of passively waiting for the arrival of the Great Shang Treasure Vault, he would rather take the initiative to approach the Great Shang Treasure Vault deep within the void.

Additionally, while traveling, he also took the time to study the secrets of the void.

Because he wanted to study the void, Jiang Chen did not move very fast, not directly crossing through layers of void, but walking deeper into the void step by step.

"Is this the power of the void?"

"Who would have thought, this place is also a great place for cultivating the Way of the Void."

After walking a dozen or so steps, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped, he discovered that this place was simply a Holy Land for cultivators of the Way of the Void.
