So Absorbed in Studying the Boundary That He Couldn't Stop

[Age 16: The three moves you taught Zhu Zhanshan stirred up a great storm in the army. More than ten generals at the innate realm broke through to the grandmaster realm as a result, and the overall strength of the Great Ming army continued to grow. When Zhu Di learned that you were a land true immortal at the shattering the void realm, he had Zhu Zhanshan sever his worldly ties and follow you to focus on cultivation. He also mobilized experts from the Eastern and Western Depots and the Brocade Guard to guard Mount Wudang, so that the storms of the martial world would not affect Zhu Zhanshan's martial arts training!]

[Age 20: You discovered that the essence of the boundary was similar to the world crystal walls that often appeared in web novels. Breaking through a world crystal wall by brute force alone was undoubtedly extremely difficult. Even Zhang Sanfeng, a genius blessed by the heavens, was unable to shatter the void and ascend in broad daylight because his strength fell short of twice that of the celestial person peak!]

[Age 24: Before Zhu Di died, he granted Zhu Zhanshan the title of Single-Character Prince Equal to the Throne and left him an imperial edict: if the emperor was foolish and incompetent, Zhu Zhanshan was permitted to depose the foolish ruler and install a wise and decisive new sovereign. You felt you had nothing more to teach Zhu Zhanshan, and that he was getting in your way and disturbing your research, so you sent him back to the Capital to temper his heart amid the mortal world!]

[Age 30: Based on the properties of the boundary, you created the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction. As long as one could sense the boundary's existence, the strength of a single celestial person peak was enough to break through the crystal wall of the Wuxia Great Ming World. You made the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction public, and before long, word came that Zhang Sanfeng had ascended in broad daylight!]

[Age 40: You continued improving the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction. As long as one could sense the boundary's existence, the strength of the grandmaster peak was enough to break through the crystal wall of the Wuxia Great Ming World. You made the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction public, and before long, word came that Master Daoyan had ascended in broad daylight!]

[Age 50: You continued improving the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction. As long as one could sense the boundary's existence, the strength of the innate peak was enough to break through the crystal wall of the Wuxia Great Ming World. You made the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction public, and a saying began to spread through the martial world: lay down the butcher's cleaver and become a Buddha on the spot; gain enlightenment in a single morning and become an immortal on the spot!]

[Age 60: Because you frequently broke through the crystal wall, the coordinates of the Wuxia Great Ming World were exposed. A group of void creatures, suspected to be extraterritorial heavenly demons, tried to squeeze into the Wuxia Great Ming World through the spatial rift you had opened. After a bitter struggle, you killed every one of the invaders. This put you on your guard, and to avoid attracting overly powerful void creatures, you decided to stop researching the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction!]

[Age 70: You recalled the saying often found in web novels: space is king, time is supreme. You tried to find the legendary spatial energy and integrate it into your sword dao!]

[Age 80: You had to admit that you had greatly overestimated your own strength and underestimated the profundity of the space principle. No matter how you studied it, you could not find the slightest clue!]

[Age 90: You gave up searching for the legendary spatial energy and turned back to studying the mysteries of the boundary!]

[Age 100: You discovered that powerful force could break the boundary and create spatial rifts, while weaker force would only shake the boundary and form spatial ripples. You felt this phenomenon was well worth studying!]

[Age 110: Having come from Earth, you knew the universe was expanding. This proved that space was not immutable, but could be expanded. As your research deepened, you gradually mastered a way to expand space!]

[Age 120: Your mastery of spatial expansion had reached the point of perfection. You discovered that the boundary of the Wuxia Great Ming World could withstand a hundredfold expansion factor, allowing you to stretch one meter of space into a hundred. You decided to name this technique Close at Hand, Distant Horizons. When an enemy attacked you, even if you were close at hand, you could use spatial expansion to make yourself seem as distant as the horizon. Your enemy could forget about touching even the hem of your clothes!]

[Age 130: Having mastered spatial expansion, you began working backward to derive spatial collapse!]

[Age 140: You mastered the technique of spatial collapse. You could compress a distance of a hundred meters into one meter, and you decided to name it Distant Horizons Within Reach. When you attacked an enemy, even if they were as distant as the horizon, you could use spatial compression to make them seem close at hand. No one could dodge your attacks!]

[Age 150: You felt that spatial expansion and spatial collapse were both support skills, so you tried to deduce an offensive skill!]

[Age 160: Using the spatial expansion technique, you expanded a stone with a volume of 1*1*1 into a boulder with a volume of 100*100*100, increasing its volume a millionfold. The increased distance between its atoms caused its molecular chains to break, and the stone disintegrated directly into atoms. You named this move Forceful Jerking Off into Ashes and Smoke!]

[Age 170: You tried to work backward from Forceful Jerking Off into Ashes and Smoke to develop an offensive move using spatial collapse. Unfortunately, compressing matter was harder than you had imagined. At most, you could compress a stone with a volume of 100*100*100 to 99*99*99. You were deeply dissatisfied with this and decided to continue studying it in greater depth!]

[Age 180: You suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that your research into spatial collapse had failed. From a microscopic perspective, wasn't forcing atoms together nuclear fusion? From a macroscopic perspective, wasn't a large volume collapsing into a small one a supernova explosion? Although your research had made progress and the compressed volume had gone from 99*99*99 down to 98*98*98, you still resolutely decided to stop!]

[Age 190: You lacked inspiration and lost your direction in research. You didn't know what to do!]

[Age 200: You once again thought of bringing infinite power into yourself, and tried to use the fruits of your research to improve your strength in the sword dao!]

[Age 210: Through spatial expansion, you broke your Chaos Sword Gang down into fundamental attributeless energy particles. You finally grasped the essence of the Chaos Sword Gang and could transform it into sword gang of every kind at will, truly turning one sword into ten thousand!]

[Age 220: Time and again, you used spatial collapse to compress your Chaos Sword Gang by small increments, one after another, until it reached the limit your body could withstand. You felt that conventional shattered void experts were now weaklings you could kill in an instant with a casual burst of Chaos Sword Gang!]

[Age 230: You were no longer satisfied with spatial expansion and spatial collapse, for they were ultimately only changes in the scale of three-dimensional space. You began considering dimensional reduction strikes and how to compress three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane!]

[Age 240: You had overestimated your own wisdom and underestimated the difficulty of dimensional reduction strikes. Although your research occasionally yielded new discoveries, overall progress was limited!]

[Age 250: Research into dimensional reduction strikes was progressing very slowly, leaving you somewhat restless and impatient, but you did not give up easily. You thought of a science fiction masterpiece from Earth and its iconic weapon, the Dual-Vector Foil. Your heart filled with fighting spirit!]

[Age 260: The flowers you carefully planted refused to bloom, while a willow branch planted without thought grew into a shady tree. You failed to develop a dimensional reduction strike, but accidentally discovered spatial folding instead. You found that the spatial strength of the Wuxia Great Ming World was enough to support folding two spatial nodes a thousand li apart together. This meant that a single step could take you a thousand li away. You named this move The World Is So Big, I Want to See It!]
