Reading and Traveling Must Both Be Pursued

Shi Xuan stood quietly before the "Great Heavenly Stars Diagram," his Primordial Spirit circulating as he sensed the spacetime beacons of the Great Thousand Worlds woven together in an abstruse, bizarre fashion.

The brightness of every point of light changed at every moment, for its spacetime never ceased shifting.

Yet if one concentrated on it for a while, one would sense an indescribable profundity within the "Great Heavenly Stars Diagram"—something that could only be understood, never spoken. What each person perceived was not entirely the same.

The Dao that could be spoken was not the eternal Dao!

Within Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit, the spacetime turbulence reflected into a brilliant starry sky. The stars glittered and flashed, each corresponding to a Great Thousand World.

Gradually, the starry sky became boundless and transformed into a Void Universe.

Thus, the stars drifted ever farther from Shi Xuan's consciousness incarnation at the center of the void, and their light grew increasingly faint.
