Dao Fruit: Results of Space Research
[Age 270: Research into dimensionality reduction attacks progressed slowly. You often went half a year or a full year without any gains, and you felt a little impatient!] [Age 280: Genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. With no one percent inspiration and only ninety-nine percent perspiration, you were a fucking idiot. You decided to pause your fruitless research into dimensionality reduction attacks and return to studying spatial expansion and spatial collapse!] [Age 290: You decided to use spatial expansion to research the legendary Storage Bag!] [Age 300: You discovered that the material used to make a Storage Bag directly determined its capacity limit. A Storage Bag made of gold and silver thread could withstand twofold spatial expansion, one made of tribute silk could withstand eighty percent spatial expansion, and one made of ordinary cotton cloth could withstand thirty percent spatial expansion. In theory, you could make a Storage Bag with an expansion factor of 100*100*100, but the materials of the Wuxia Great Ming World limited your imagination. The Storage Bags you made seemed miraculous, but their expansion factors were so low that they were all useless scraps of little value!] [Age 310: The toughest material in the Wuxia Great Ming World was black iron, which you used to make a spatial treasure box. The spatial treasure box appeared to hold one liter, but its internal space was a full cubic meter. Its spatial collision factor reached 10*10*10, and you knew this was already the limit!] [Age 320: You suddenly thought of Russian nesting dolls, and a bold idea arose in your mind. Ignoring the thickness of the spatial treasure boxes, a first-tier box could hold a thousand second-tier boxes, and a thousand second-tier boxes could hold a million third-tier boxes. Could the spatial expansion factor not be extended indefinitely? Since black iron was exceedingly rare, you abandoned the idea of experimenting with spatial treasure boxes and decided to use tribute silk Storage Bags instead!] [Age 330: Your idea of Russian nesting dolls fell apart. Whenever the combined spatial expansion factor exceeded 100*100*100, space immediately shattered. This was evidently directly equal to the strength of Wuxia Great Ming's boundary!] [Age 340: Following the principle of Russian nesting dolls, you created **Draw the Ground as a Prison**. Countless strands of Chaos Sword Gang, each with an expansion factor at the upper limit, formed an airtight encirclement. Anyone who tried to break through would inevitably cause the strands of Chaos Sword Gang to collide with one another, pushing the expansion factor beyond its limit and creating countless spatial rifts!] [Age 350: You wanted to work backward from spatial expansion to derive spatial collapse, but after a brief consideration, you ultimately decided against it. You wanted neither to experience nuclear fusion on the microscopic scale firsthand nor to experience a supernova explosion on the macroscopic scale firsthand!] [Age 360: Everyone on Earth knew that gravity could warp space. You suddenly wondered whether warped space could produce gravity, and you decided to investigate further!] [Age 370: You discovered that you had oversimplified things. The gravitational constant was an extremely small value, and only on a massive celestial body could it produce an appreciable effect. Your experiments in warping space yielded results, but the change in gravity was so infinitesimal that the research produced no value whatsoever!] [Age 390: You had no particular inspiration, so you decided to resume your research into dimensionality reduction attacks!] [Age 400: You suddenly had an inkling. Perhaps the reason you had no idea where to begin with dimensionality reduction attacks was that the crucial factor, like the gravitational constant, was so minute that you could not detect it at your current level of strength!] [Age 410: A single water molecule was invisible, but countless water molecules gathered into an ocean were plainly visible. The gravity of a tiny amount of matter was imperceptible, but when countless amounts of matter gathered into a planet, its gravity was plainly evident. You decided to conduct a spatial experiment over an enormous area to capture the crucial factor behind dimensionality reduction attacks!] [Age 420: The spatial fluctuations over an enormous area attracted the attention of a powerful void creature. You died!] [Based on your life, please choose a Dao Fruit-] [Results of space research] [Strength at the peak of the Shattered Void realm] [Space-Breaking Sword Instruction]
Without a second thought, Mo Wenjian first ruled out the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction.
The boundary of the Wuxia Great Ming World was exceptionally sturdy. Under normal circumstances, breaking it required twice the strength of a peak Celestial Person.
With the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction, however, as long as you could sense the boundary, you needed only the strength of the peak Innate realm to shatter the void and ascend in broad daylight.
Laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, attaining enlightenment in a single morning and becoming an immortal on the spot-such things would pass from legend into reality.
But Mo Wenjian was so powerful that he had no need to take shortcuts.
The Space-Breaking Sword Instruction meant nothing whatsoever to Mo Wenjian.
Mo Wenjian's gaze lingered for a few seconds on the strength of the peak Shattered Void realm, then moved away without hesitation.
During this simulation, Mo Wenjian had devoted most of his attention to researching the boundary.
The strength of the peak Shattered Void realm was merely an incidental detail that came with using spatial expansion and spatial collapse to transform Chaos Sword Gang.
He only had to draw a gourd by copying the one before him to do it again.
Having ruled out two options, he was naturally left with only one choice.
Full of anticipation, Mo Wenjian claimed his Dao Fruit: the results of his space research.
To the Mo Wenjian of the past, space had been nothing more than an abstract concept.
The results of his space research in this simulation lifted the veil of mystery from space.
Mo Wenjian had a powerful feeling that space was like a lump of modeling clay, which he could knead and shape however he pleased.
Just as Mo Wenjian was about to conduct some experiments based on the results of his space research, Zhu Zhanshan's startled cry suddenly rang through the night sky.
Mo Wenjian's first thought was that something had happened to Zhu Zhanshan.
Zhu Zhanshan was the only person Mo Wenjian knew in the Wuxia Great Ming World.
No matter how he looked at it, Mo Wenjian had no reason to stand by and do nothing.
With a thought, Mo Wenjian immediately used Distant Horizons Within Reach, compressing the distance of a hundred meters into one.
Mo Wenjian took one step and appeared outside Zhu Zhanshan's door.
Just as Mo Wenjian was about to push the door open and go in, a conversation suddenly came from inside the room.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Zhu Zhanshan's master was fully responsible for protecting him. Zhu Zhanshan slept in the main bedroom, while his master slept in the second bedroom. As soon as Zhu Zhanshan made a disturbance, his master had rushed over.
"It's nothing. I only had a nightmare!" Although Zhu Zhanshan did his utmost to sound calm, anyone with a little common sense could hear a hint of a sob in his voice.
"Since Your Highness is unharmed, I shall take my leave!" Zhu Zhanshan's master understood a subject's duties well. He preserved Zhu Zhanshan's dignity without prying into any imperial secrets, a textbook example of protecting oneself through prudence.
Hearing this, Mo Wenjian suddenly had an inkling.
Though Zhu Zhanshan usually acted mature and composed, he was, at the end of the day, only a little brat of around ten.
He had left his familiar surroundings and his parents' warm embrace behind and come to the utterly unfamiliar Mount Wudang. It was only natural for him to feel a little afraid.
From the standpoint of their interests, sending Zhu Zhanshan to Mount Wudang was clearly a wise move: it could win Mount Wudang over while also nurturing Zhu Zhanshan.
But from an emotional standpoint, it was a little heartless toward Zhu Zhanshan.
Mo Wenjian suddenly felt that perhaps he could do something.
