Speed, seventy miles an hour; my heart was free and easy...
A shuttle-shaped flying boat swept through the void. After several flashes, it appeared at the edge of sight and continued onward.
Chen Luo sat in the cabin of the Wind Fire Reed Boat, gazing at the fleeting outer void beyond the window as he stretched lazily.
After refining the Wind Fire Reed Boat, Chen Luo did not waste time. He bade farewell to his teacher and piloted the boat toward Xuantai Pingyu Heaven. After several days spent traversing Peaceful Heaven of Governance, he finally entered the true outer void.
Once he left Taiping Heaven, Chen Luo's first reaction was to inspect his strength. As the Wind Fire Reed Boat advanced, he discovered that, just as his teacher had said, following the path of World Refinement, his strength had not been affected at all by distancing himself from the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, Chen Luo could still communicate with the ancestral land's Heavenly Dao through the method of World Refinement.
In other words, he could still write Investiture of the Gods in the outer void, and the Heavenly Dao could still sense it.
After confirming this, Chen Luo's heart finally settled somewhat. Otherwise, if he failed to update for two or three months, who knew what rumors might spread in the ancestral land?
Unlike the space Chen Luo remembered, the outer void was truly an empty void. Some people regarded chaos as the origin of the universe, but in truth, chaos was already the embryo of Heaven and Earth. The true void was a state where nothing existed at all.
In Daoist terminology, this state was called Wuji.
And the transition from Wuji to Taiji was precisely the transition from nothing to something.
Of course, this state had another name—
Guixu!
