Chapter 148 Hidden Powers (Enhanced Version)
His understanding of the "Way of the Earth" far surpasses that of the past—it is no longer simply about "bearing," but has been deepened to a higher level of "bearing the foundation of all things and evolving the source of chaos."
More importantly, he fully absorbed and integrated the "Origin of Heaven and Earth" of the Daoist Qiankun, and his understanding of "space" itself has undergone a qualitative leap!
"Qiankun" represents not only "space", but also "location", "scale", "structure" and "order"!
It is the fundamental principle for constructing stable and complex spatial forms! This, combined with the "bearing" and "stable" characteristics of the "earth," produces a wonderful chemical reaction.
"It's time to make this 'hidden universe in a sleeve' truly live up to its name."
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes gleamed with the light of deduction. He did not immediately begin to modify it, but instead began to construct a completely new framework for his supernatural powers in his mind.
He first reviewed the core of the "old version" of "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve." Its foundation lies in "the earth's inclusiveness."
He uses his own earth essence and spatial laws to construct a space similar to a "pocket" or "cage". The entrance is in his sleeve, and the inside is a desolate and empty miniature world. He uses his magic to isolate the inside from the outside and suppress the trapped person.
Then, he began to introduce entirely new understandings.
The first step is to reconstruct the spatial foundation by setting the framework with "Heaven and Earth" and solidifying the origin with "Earth".
He no longer used only the essence of the earth as material, but incorporated his own understanding of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth".
It transformed into countless subtle, precise, and mysterious innate Dao patterns, each containing the secrets of spatial structure. These Dao patterns, like the most intricate architectural skeleton, began to weave and construct within the void nodes at the cuffs.
It's no longer simply about "creating a space," but about "defining a world"!
He used the Dao patterns of Heaven and Earth to define the boundaries of this space, establishing a stable spatial scale and coordinate system within it. This made the space's "skeleton" incredibly robust, increasing its structural stability by more than a hundredfold!
Immediately afterwards, he poured his transformed power of the Earth Way, which combined the meanings of "bearing" and "chaos," into the framework of the universe, just like pouring concrete.
It is no longer simply the essence of the earth, but rather the "primordial power of the chaotic origin of the earth" containing the aura of chaos.
This force not only further reinforced the spatial barrier, but also made this space seem to have its own "earthly foundation," creating a deeper yet more independent connection with the primordial main world, making it less susceptible to external spatial fluctuations.
The second step is to evolve the inner world—from a "cage" to a "prototype of the world".
The old version of the supernatural power had a desolate and lifeless interior space, serving almost no purpose other than imprisonment. Now, Zhen Yuanzi wants to give it "life" and "change".
His thoughts raced, projecting his understanding of "chaotic evolution" from the "Creative Scripture of the Earth" into this newly created universe within his sleeve.
As the Daoist energy flowed in, the once empty space within the sleeve began to undergo a dramatic transformation! Chaotic energy spread from the "foundation of the earth," the clear and the turbid separating, and the primordial yellow appearing. The powers representing the four fundamental elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—began to surge, collide, and evolve within it!
In some areas, the earth rises up to form miniature mountain ranges, which, though devoid of life, already possess the rudiments of earth veins;
In some areas, the mysterious waters converge, transforming into streams and lakes, with the water element flowing endlessly;
In some places, flames rise, scorching and violent, like the core of the earth's lungs; in other areas, the wind howls, cutting through space, carrying an aura of chaos and destruction.
The entire Sleeve Universe is no longer a lifeless cage, but has transformed into a slowly evolving, infinitely possible "chaotic mini-world" in its early stages!
"Buzz"
Although it is still far from the real world, its internal laws have already begun to operate on their own, with Daoist rhythms intertwined, full of oppressive power and opportunities for evolution.
The third step is to perfect the authority of the law—control and suppression.
The stability of space and its internal evolution are both for the purpose of better "accommodation" and "control".
Zhen Yuanzi imprinted his will on the core of this newly created world, becoming the absolute ruler of this small realm.
Within this space, his thoughts are the laws! He can freely manipulate the power of earth, water, fire, and wind to attack those trapped; he can draw upon chaotic energy to erode their magical power and primordial spirit; he can distort the scale of space, making them seem as close as a foot apart, forever unable to reach the boundary.
It can even interfere with or delay the trapped person's perception of the passage of time to some extent!
More importantly, because the spatial foundation is integrated with his primordial chaos of the earth, becoming one with this universe, it greatly increases the difficulty for external forces to forcibly tear apart this universe within his sleeve.
Unless the attacker's power level and spatial mastery far surpass his, it will be difficult to break through from the outside.
Practice verified and the theory of supernatural powers was deduced and perfected, and Zhen Yuanzi began to put it into practice.
Instead of seeking out living creatures for experimentation, he focused his divine sense into his sleeve, guiding his magical power and Daoist principles to begin a substantial reconstruction and upgrade of the spatial nodes at the cuff, according to a completely new framework.
This process is intricate and complex, requiring the perfect fusion of the new Qiankun Dao patterns with the chaotic origin of the earth itself, and the stabilization of the nascent evolution of earth, water, fire, and wind.
Even with Zhen Yuanzi's perfected cultivation at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm and his high level of control over his own Great Dao, it still took him a considerable amount of time.
During this time, his cuffs sometimes emitted a great surge of primordial yellow energy, sometimes rippled through the space, and sometimes illusory images of earth, water, fire, and wind flashed by.
The Four Symbols Banana Tree seemed to sense the grand rhythm of this creation and exposition of the Dao, its four-colored precious light flowing and scattering rays of clear radiance to help him stabilize his mind.
Finally, at a certain moment, all the strange phenomena subsided, and Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve returned to its calm state, appearing no different from usual. But he knew that "The Universe in the Sleeve" had undergone a complete transformation!
With a slight thought, without targeting any specific individual, he casually flicked his sleeve towards the empty space in front of him.
In an instant, an invisible Daoist aura, seemingly capable of encompassing heaven and earth, spread out.
Centered on his cuff, the void within a hundred feet radius seemed to slightly concave inward. Light, spiritual energy, and even the finest dust particles converged towards his cuff as if drawn by an invisible force, and then disappeared.
That wasn't devouring; rather, that void was temporarily "accommodated" within the sleeve's universe. Although it was instantly smoothed out by the spatial laws of the primordial world, the power of "inclusiveness" and "control" displayed in that instant was already astonishing.
Zhen Yuanzi probed his sleeve with his divine sense and saw a space that was much larger, more stable, and full of dynamic evolutionary scenes than before.
Although its scope is still limited and it has not yet reached the supreme realm of "containing Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed", the stability of its internal space and the completeness of its Taoist essence are far beyond what they used to be.
Earth, water, fire, and wind flowed within it in an orderly yet chaotic manner, with a primordial chaos at its center, as if it were nurturing something.
"This divine power is the beginning of the universe's creation." Zhen Yuanzi nodded in satisfaction.
