The energy Dharma Image spread outward at that moment, constantly changing, constantly brewing.
Zhao Cheng had already touched upon the fringes of the self-perpetuating high dimension of the energy path. The energy within the cavern-heaven world before him was a manifestation of that mystery.
Four of the Empire's paths had reached the high dimension.

He could even create seeds of energy out of nothing in worlds where no energy existed that life
