The Spatial Turbulence

After stepping through the door, Carl found that the other side resembled a transparent bubble.

The transparent bubble contained only about ten meters of space in diameter. It was spherical overall, and inside it was arranged like a cultivation chamber, furnished with only a simple bed, table, and chair.

Carl walked forward a few steps and touched the transparent membrane. It was the key to isolating the entire space from the outside world, keeping it safe from outside interference and destruction.

She looked up, then around. Apart from the ground beneath her feet, the outside world was a chaotic expanse of space.

It was a multicolored turbulence, and black rifts flickered among it from time to time. The terrifying disturbance made Carl shudder just from looking at it for a moment.

"Spatial Turbulence. Spatial rifts."

The knowledge on the Yulan Continent was strange. The entire continent could barely muster a handful of God Level powerhouses, yet there were plenty of records about things beyond the continent.

For example, Carl had once read books about Spatial Turbulence and spatial rifts. Countless planes were, in fact, situated within the Spatial Turbulence. If someone chose a direction on the Yulan Continent and kept walking until they reached the end, they would see the Spatial Turbulence.

Even God Level powerhouses had almost no chance of surviving if they fell into the Spatial Turbulence. Only those standing at the pinnacle of the gods could barely survive there. All of that was still far beyond Carl.

"This 'miniature plane' really is a cultivation treasure."

Carl looked around at the multicolored turbulence. The transparent membrane protected this space, and from where she stood, she could clearly see the elemental powers.

She didn't need to use Mental Power to sense them. Carl could see the elemental energy beyond the membrane with her own eyes.

Perhaps it was because her Mental Power had been strengthened to the Saint Realm level. At least now, simply by looking, Carl could clearly see the elements. The elements were, in essence, energy and manifestations of the Laws. It was just that ordinary people couldn't see through them. They could only begin at the microscopic level and slowly identify and comprehend them.

The phrase "multicolored" might only be a figure of speech in the outside world, but here the elemental energies actually had different colors: wind, water, fire, earth, thunder, light, and darkness. Besides these seven elemental energies, when Carl sensed the area with her Mental Power, she could also detect four other immensely powerful energies.

"Is this the energy of the Four Rules?"

Aside from the Seven Laws, there were only the Four Rules in this world.

"The elemental concentration here is far higher than outside. I'm afraid even an ordinary person who stayed here for a long time would be at least an outstanding Mage by the time they left."

Carl could clearly sense the seven Law elements and four Rule elements. Among them, the most distinctive was the pale green energy.

The Wind Element.

Carl could use Mental Power to control the other elements. If she wanted, she could even cultivate magic power and control these elements to form her own spells. But Mages like that were mostly theorists. After all, once they left this place, a Mage's strength depended not only on their magic power and Mental Power, but also on their ability to control the Elemental Power in the outside world.

Carl could see and touch the other elements, but the Wind Element looked different to her.

"It's moving, like the wind."

Carl's gaze focused on a wisp of wind. One moment, it was speeding up, mingling with the other currents; the next, it was slowing down, like a fish swimming through the Spatial Turbulence.

"Wind's speed."

"Wind's slowness."

As Carl watched the Wind Element, she recalled her own insights into it. The images that had once been vague in her mind suddenly seemed to grow clearer.

Suddenly, Carl's system panel trembled. Her attention snapped back to it, and a notification appeared.

Wind Element +1

"Just as I thought."

Carl's eyes flickered with understanding. She finally knew why Linley had become a god so quickly. It was because he could see elemental energy directly here. With sufficient affinity for elemental energy and a high enough level of understanding, she could sense the wind's swiftness and agility, the earth's heaviness, the flame's intensity, the water's endless flow, the light's gentleness, the darkness's chill, and the thunder's violence through the elements themselves.

"A Level 8 Mage's Mental Power is the threshold for comprehending the Laws. The reason Saint Realm powerhouses comprehend only Low-level Mysteries is probably connected to Mental Power, too."

Carl began to understand why the system wouldn't let her buy High-level Mysteries, limiting her to Low-level Mysteries instead. In fact, when she had been in the Saint Realm, she could only buy the Wind Element.

"Is it because my Mental Power is too low? If I tried to comprehend a High-level Mystery, then even if the system helped me reach one hundred percent comprehension, my own understanding would still be very one-sided. With just that understanding, I might not even be able to reach God Level."

Carl had some guesses. The system clearly had its own logic behind its choices. Even if she was wrong, if a Saint Realm powerhouse comprehended a High-level Mystery and mastered it completely, would someone like her really be able to turn it into her own strength?

Carl believed that among the countless Material Planes, there had to be such geniuses—people with dozens or even hundreds of times the Mental Power talent of ordinary people, enough to comprehend High-level Mysteries while still in the Saint Realm. But could they successfully become gods?

"Maybe that's why there are more powerhouses in the Divine Planes."

The cultivation environment there was better, but what did a good cultivation environment mean to a God Level powerhouse?

Naturally, it meant a place where the Laws were clearer, making it easier to comprehend Mysteries. That was what powerhouses truly needed.

Carl was no novice when it came to cultivation. Given her own strength, she had already noticed some connections along the way.

The growth of Battle Qi brought not only increased strength; it also gradually strengthened the body. Why could a Level 9 Warrior's body rival that of a Level 6 Warrior using Battle Qi? Wasn't it because a Level 9 Warrior's Battle Qi passively strengthened the body? And only a powerful body could nurture sufficient Mental Power.

Why was a Saint Realm Warrior's Mental Power never lower than that of a Level 8 Mage?

Apart from the transformation that came with entering the Saint Realm, the Mental Power passively nurtured during the Level 9 Warrior stage was also crucial.

From that day onward, Carl stayed in this Miniature Plane Secret Chamber. There, she was constantly close to nature, and her ability to comprehend seemed to have been amplified dozens, even hundreds of times. She felt the rhythm of the wind and memorized its patterns.

Almost every day, Carl could see her cultivation speed increasing by leaps and bounds.

This growth brought not only faster progress, but also a much more direct improvement in her ability to understand.
