Chapter 463 Witnessing The Cosmos
Once Wang Jian absorbed the planet into his Divine Spirit, a remarkable transformation occurred. He and Yu Qing found themselves adrift in the vast, unfathomable expanse of outer space, surrounded by the twinkling of distant stars and the vastness of the cosmos. The radiance of Wang Jian's ascension mingled with the darkness of space, creating a surreal spectacle.
This cosmic upheaval did not go unnoticed. The disappearance of the planet caused a slight shift in the orbits of nearby celestial bodies, catching the attention of the various experts, families, and sects in the region. It was like a silent alarm had gone off, echoing through space, alerting the powerful entities of the cosmos to this unprecedented event.
As the experts of each faction hastened towards the epicenter of this cosmic anomaly, Yu Qing, with her astute awareness, realized the imminent danger. 'We need to move, and fast,' she thought, her mind racing.
With her superior cultivation level, she deftly enveloped Wang Jian's Light of Ascension, concealing their presence. Together, they sped away from the commotion, cutting through the void with incredible speed.
Wang Jian was in complete awe of the cosmos around him. 'I never imagined space could be this... mesmerizing,' he mused, his eyes wide with wonder. The twinkling stars, the endless void, the sheer vastness of it all – it was breathtaking. Yet, he knew the dangers that lurked within this beauty. 'Must stay vigilant,' he reminded himself.
After some time, Yu Qing led them to a dwarf planet, a temporary refuge in the vastness of space. Here, in the relative safety of this secluded spot, Yu Qing began to enlighten Wang Jian about the structure of the cosmos, specifically the Upper Realm.
"The cosmos," Yu Qing explained, "is divided into four distinct parts: the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western regions. Each region is surrounded by a boundary field, which governs the flow and density of Spiritual and Divine Energy."
Yu Qing continued, "The Southern Region has the lowest energy concentration, followed by the Eastern, then the Northern, and the Western Region has the highest."
Wang Jian listened intently, trying to absorb every bit of information. 'So, there's a hierarchy even in the distribution of energy,' he thought.
Wang Jian's curiosity peaked. "And where do the most powerful families and sects reside?"
"In the Western Region," Yu Qing replied. "That's also where I was born and raised. It's a land of immense power and ancient legacies."
Wang Jian pondered for a moment. 'Jumping directly into the lion's den might not be wise,' he concluded. "Let's head to the Northern Region first. I need to gauge the power dynamics of this realm and establish my own strength before confronting the might of the Western Region."
As they landed, they were greeted by the sight of a bustling market, filled with vendors selling exotic goods from across the cosmos. The air was filled with the sounds of haggling, the clink of coins, and the smells of a thousand different cuisines.
"Let's explore this place," Wang Jian suggested, eager to learn more about this new world.
Yu Qing agreed, and they began to wander through the market. As they walked, Wang Jian's senses were bombarded with a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and smells. He saw strange fruits that seemed to pulse with inner light, fabrics that shimmered with the colors of distant nebulas, and heard languages that twisted and turned like the orbits of planets.
At one stall, a vendor caught Wang Jian's attention. "Ah, travelers! Care to try some Star Nectar? A delicacy in these parts!"
Wang Jian couldn't resist. "Sure, let's give it a try."
As he tasted the Star Nectar, a burst of sweet, tangy flavors exploded in his mouth. 'This is incredible,' he thought, savoring the taste.
Yu Qing watched him with amusement. 'He's like a child in a new world, full of wonder and curiosity. It's endearing.'
As they continued to explore, Wang Jian's mind was already racing with plans. 'This settlement, this entire realm, is full of opportunities. I need to find a way to make my mark here.'
They spent the rest of the day exploring the settlement, learning about its customs, its people, and the intricate web of politics and power that underpinned it all. As night fell, the settlement glowed under the light of the Crimson Star, casting everything in a soft, red hue.
"This place is fascinating," Wang Jian remarked as they found a quiet spot to rest. "There's so much to learn, so much to explore."
Yu Qing nodded. "And this is just one settlement in one region. The Upper Realm is vast beyond imagination."
Wang Jian looked up at the starry sky, his eyes filled with determination. 'This is just the beginning. I will make my mark on this realm, and carve out a place for myself among the stars.'
