#254 - Nine Spaces Without Boundaries
Opening the detailed information of the [Nine Empty Realms], I saw the following written on it:
[Nine Empty Realms: Heaven is empty, Earth is empty, Man is empty, Gods are empty, Buddhas are empty, Sun is empty, Moon is empty, Stars are empty, Time is empty! These are the Nine Emptinesses, boundless and without limit.]
[First Layer: Tempering (Activated) - One's spirit can enter the Nine Empty Realms' other dimension. One can also bring the spirits of martial artists who are Utterly Good, Utterly Evil, Utterly Holy, Utterly Vicious, Utterly Violent, Utterly Righteous, Utterly Poisonous, and Utterly Benevolent into it. The fighting spirit, killing intent, perseverance, and other martial spirits generated during their battles can be used to temper one's own Martial Intent, upgrade martial arts, and be used to break through to the next layer of the Nine Empty Realms.]
[Second Layer: Reflection (Not Activated)]
[Third Layer: Retrospection (Not Activated)]
[Note: The Nine Empty Realms are both real and illusory, both true and false. Items in the inventory can be brought into the Nine Empty Realms for use and can also be brought out.]
Seeing this, Liang Jin didn't expect the [Nine Empty Realms] trait to be so complex.
Other traits' descriptions are all completed in one sentence.
But this trait seems to have many functions and needs to be activated layer by layer.
"The meaning of this first layer is... to find a group of martial artists who meet the conditions to fight each other, thereby helping me temper my Martial Intent and martial arts, and then break through to the next layer."
"How does it look like... finding a group of martial artists to work for me?"
"How should I operate this?"
"Let's try it first."
Immediately, Liang Jin's mind moved, and he used the [Nine Empty Realms] trait.
The next second.
Liang Jin only felt that he was instantly in a very peculiar place.
This place was very strange.
It was as if there was nothing in this place.
There was no space, and even time did not exist.
It was a chaotic mess.
However, this place seemed to have everything.
The next moment, this world was filled with light.
Following Liang Jin's thought again, the earth and the sky were produced, and mountains and seas also appeared.
Liang Jin stood on the ground, feeling everything around him, which was so real.
"The introduction said that the first layer of the Nine Empty Realms is a place where only the spirit can enter. Could it be that this place is equivalent to a spiritual world?"
"Then everything here is an illusion."
"But the feeling it gives people is too real, right?"
Liang Jin touched the ground, feeling the air, everything was exactly the same as the outside world.
His mind moved again.
The whole world changed its appearance again.
The surroundings were filled with clouds and mist.
Only a huge stone platform appeared in the clouds and mist.
The stone platform was about the size of a football field.
Liang Jin stood on the stone platform, and his appearance was also changing rapidly, sometimes old, sometimes young, sometimes male, sometimes female.
Sometimes he even turned into a blurred phantom, and even his complete appearance could not be seen clearly.
It can be said that he can do everything here!
The next moment.
Liang Jin disappeared completely.
He even merged with the Nine Empty Realms, looking down at the stone platform in the clouds and mist from a God's perspective.
It can be said that he is omnipresent and omnipotent.
"Although I know that all this is a false illusion, this feeling... is so great!"
"Not good, I'm still riding a horse! Don't let my spirit enter here and cause my body to fall off the horse and be trampled to death by the horses behind!"
Thinking of this, Liang Jin hurriedly withdrew from the Nine Empty Realms.
The next moment.
The world changed.
Liang Jin returned to the real world.
He was still riding on the horse, galloping all the way.
Around, everything was as before.
"How could this be?"
Liang Jin looked at a branch in front of him in surprise.
He saw this branch when he entered the [Nine Empty Realms].
According to his horse riding speed, he could cross this branch in just one second and leave the branch far behind.
But he stayed in the [Nine Empty Realms] for at least half a quarter of an hour.
But after coming out, the branch was still in front of him.
It's as if...
The time in the real world froze during the time he entered the Nine Empty Realms!
"No! There is no time in the Nine Empty Realms, which also means that no matter how long I stay inside, it is only a moment for the outside world."
"Even a moment may be an exaggeration. There is no change for the outside world at all."
"The only thing that changes is my spirit."
Thinking of this, Liang Jin secretly felt sorry.
It would be great if people's bodies could also enter the Nine Empty Realms.
In this case, after he cultivates in the Nine Empty Realms for ten or a hundred years and becomes stronger, it will only be a blink of an eye in the outside world.
Then he can simply embark on the road to invincibility!
Unfortunately, the Nine Empty Realms are not so heaven-defying, and it is only a spiritual space.
"No wonder in the Nine Empty Realms, it can only be used to temper things related to the spirit."
"Martial Intent, and martial arts."
"Speaking of which, does this thing called Martial Intent really exist?"
Liang Jin couldn't help but wonder.
Martial Intent is the emotional connection between a martial artist and martial arts. It is their understanding and attitude towards battle, expressed through moves and martial arts.
For example, some people who practice swords to a certain level can generate Sword Intent.
Sword Intent is a type of Martial Intent.
It sounds mysterious.
In fact, it is even more mysterious!
In this world, there is naturally a saying of Martial Intent.
But Liang Jin has never seen anyone who truly possesses Martial Intent.
This also makes Liang Jin wonder whether Martial Intent really exists, or is it just metaphysics used by martial arts masters to fool their disciples?
Or is it that he has little knowledge or low comprehension?
If it is necessary to pay attention to comprehension, then it will be difficult.
Liang Jin knows that he is not the kind of genius with heaven-defying comprehension. He is just an ordinary person.
But fortunately, the system has given him a cheat!
As long as he makes good use of the characteristics of the [Nine Empty Realms], he can also temper his martial intent.
The system says there is martial intent, so there must be martial intent in this world.
“But how can I bring others in?”
“It needs those who are extremely good or extremely evil, or something like that, right?”
“Simply put, it's a group of very extreme people. Could it be that the more extreme a person is, the stronger their mental power is?”
“But how can I find such people?”
As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover.
Whether someone is good or bad cannot be seen from their appearance alone.
Especially in this chaotic world, where right and wrong are reversed, and it's hard to distinguish between humans and ghosts.
Unless… rely on the system!
Liang Jin carefully looked and found a small interface in the characteristics of the [Nine Empty Realms] that he hadn't noticed before.
He clicked on the small interface, and a pop-up window appeared, like a radar interface.
The brightest spot in the middle represents Liang Jin himself, and there is another bright spot next to it.
At the same time, a message is displayed at the bottom of the interface:
[Detected that there is a person of utmost righteousness near the host.]
[Do you want to bring him into the Nine Empty Realms?]
The newest and fastest novels are at 6_9_shu_ba.
[Yes/No]
A person of utmost righteousness?
Liang Jin glanced around.
Now this is in the wilderness, and besides Liang Jin and this group of prisoners, there is no one else.
If there are other people further away, it would probably be the group of government soldiers who have been following behind.
Liang Jin couldn't determine how far the system could detect special existences near him, so he couldn't determine which side this person was on.
But it doesn't matter.
Now is the time for Liang Jin to test this characteristic, it doesn't matter who comes.
Immediately, Liang Jin chose [Yes] without hesitation.
The next moment.
Liang Jin's vision changed again.
He actually entered the Nine Empty Realms again?
“Ah?”
“Didn't I choose to let someone else in? Why did it become me coming in?”
“I understand… When others enter the Nine Empty Realms, I will also enter at the same time.”
“This seems to be mandatory.”
“Let me see, who came in.”
Liang Jin used the God's perspective again to look at this world.
Now the whole world only has a stone platform surrounded by clouds and mist.
And Liang Jin saw that there was a person standing on the stone platform.
This person is actually "Iron Fist" Lei Zhen.
Is this a person of utmost righteousness?
It seems to count.
From the beginning, Lei Zhen never abandoned his companions, even those who were frightened on the execution ground.
He seems to be very loyal.
Lei Zhen looked around blankly, wandering around, occasionally coming to the edge of the stone platform to check, but he didn't have the courage to jump into the cloud and mist.
Afterwards, he shouted even louder:
“Is there anyone there?”
“What is this place?”
“Am I under some kind of illusion?”
Liang Jin recalled the introduction in the system, that the martial spirit such as fighting spirit, killing intent, and perseverance generated when a martial artist's spirit is fighting can be used for his own.
Immediately, Liang Jin broke away from the God's perspective, and his whole person turned into a phantom and appeared on the stone platform.
Lei Zhen seemed to have realized something, and slowly looked back at Liang Jin:
“Who are you?”
“Are you my hallucination?”
In Lei Zhen's vision, Liang Jin was just a blurry phantom, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Liang Jin didn't waste any words, raised his fist, and punched Lei Zhen.
“Whoosh!”
A terrifying gust of wind roared.
Just as Lei Zhen was about to defend, he felt the terrifying power contained in Liang Jin's punch.
“No!”
His face was horrified, and he shouted in despair.
Unfortunately, his screams were destined to be in vain.
After one punch, half of Lei Zhen's body was blown away.
He slowly fell to the ground and turned into a puff of blue smoke and dissipated in this world.
With Liang Jin's current strength, it was easy to kill a fifth-rank martial artist with one punch.
“Is it over?”
Liang Jin had already sensed that Lei Zhen no longer existed in this world.
And this world seemed to have undergone some changes, or it seemed that it hadn't.
The change was too subtle, making it difficult for Liang Jin to notice.
It seems useless!
“Go out and see if Lei Zhen died in the real world?”
Liang Jin moved his mind, and he withdrew from the Nine Empty Realms.
The next second.
He had already appeared in the real world.
He was still riding his horse forward.
His eyes turned to Lei Zhen.
He saw Lei Zhen's body suddenly tremble, as if he had suffered some kind of horror.
Then he looked around in horror, keeping his body on guard, as if he wanted to face some unknown enemy.
“Stop!”
He even shouted loudly, as if he was still in shock.
The surrounding people hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped, then looked at Lei Zhen in confusion.
“What happened?”
Everyone also became vigilant, drawing their knives and looking around.
However, the surroundings were silent, and no situation could be seen.
Lei Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but ask:
“Did you guys… experience anything strange just now?”
“Like… having hallucinations?”
Everyone shook their heads in confusion upon hearing this.
Liang Jin naturally shook his head as well.
Lei Zhen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
In the end, he just said:
“It's nothing, maybe I'm too nervous.”
“Let's… continue on our way.”
