All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Chapter 757 Space Turbulence
Chu Yang looked at him in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words.

“I am the will of this planet,” Wutongzi continued, “or more precisely, I am the embodiment of the consciousness of Wutong Star itself.”

"The will of a planet?" Chu Yang stared in shock.

“That’s right,” Wutongzi nodded. “In this universe, when a planet exists for a long enough time and accumulates a sufficiently profound foundation of laws, it may be able to give birth to its own consciousness. That’s how I was born.”

Chu Yang struggled to process this astonishing information: "Then what about the formidable strength you displayed?"

“It all originates from this planet itself,” Wutongzi explained. “I am Wutong Star, and Wutong Star is me. On this planet, I do indeed possess near-invincible power. But…”

Wutongzi's tone shifted abruptly, becoming heavy: "Once I leave this planet, I will be nothing."

Chu Yang felt a wave of dizziness; the truth was too shocking: "You mean..."

"I cannot leave Wutong Star," Wutongzi said frankly. "My existence depends entirely on this planet. If I were to forcibly leave, I would immediately vanish into nothingness."

To prove his point, Wutongzi made a gesture that Chu Yang would never forget. He slowly extended his palm and then stretched it toward the edge of Wutong Star's atmosphere.

Just as Wutongzi's palm touched the edge of the atmosphere, a miraculous scene unfolded. His palm began to turn transparent, then gradually transformed into specks of light, flickering like fireflies and dissipating into the void.

Chu Yang watched this scene in shock, a tremendous shock surging through his heart. Wutongzi's palm had vanished, as if it had never existed at all.

But soon, the dissipated light spots gathered again, and Wutongzi's palm returned to normal, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"See?" Wutongzi said with a wry smile, "This is my limitation. I can only exist within the boundaries of Wutong Star; once I step outside that area, I will immediately dissipate."

Chu Yang finally understood everything. Why Wutongzi was unwilling to personally rescue Archaeopteryx, and why he had expended so much effort to cultivate him. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but that he simply couldn't do it.

"Senior," Chu Yang's voice choked with emotion, "why didn't you tell me sooner?"

“Because I was worried you would be disappointed, that you would give up,” Wutongzi said gently. “I know that in your heart, I am a strong support. If you knew I couldn’t leave here, you might lose faith.”

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "No, senior. Your help has been more than enough. Without your guidance, I would never have reached my current strength."

"Do you really think so?" Wutongzi asked with relief.

“Of course,” Chu Yang said firmly, “and now I understand your good intentions even more. You have passed on all your knowledge and skills to me, hoping that I can complete this task in your stead.”

Wutongzi nodded and said, "That's right. Although I can't take action myself, I can make you strong enough to face any challenge."

Chu Yang bowed deeply to Wutongzi: "I will never forget your kindness, senior."

“You’re welcome,” Wutongzi waved her hand, “Helping you is also helping the Phoenix Reborn, and helping the balance of the entire universe. It’s what I should do.”

After a moment of silence, Chu Yang asked, "Senior, is there anything else you need to teach me?"

Wutongzi thought for a moment, then said, "You've already mastered the basics of cultivation. What remains are some special techniques and knowledge. For example, how to survive in an extreme environment like the Abyss of Despair, how to resist the erosion of the power of nothingness, how to break complex sealing formations, and so on."

Chu Yang nodded earnestly: "Please enlighten me, senior."

In the days that followed, Wutongzi began to impart more profound knowledge to Chu Yang. This knowledge was no longer merely cultivation techniques, but involved the deepest mysteries of the laws of the universe.

“The power of nothingness is one of the most primordial forces in the universe,” Wutongzi patiently explained. “It represents absolute emptiness, capable of devouring all existence. To counter this power, you must use the power of existence itself to resist it.”

"The power of existence?" Chu Yang asked in confusion.

“It’s vitality, creativity, hope, and will,” Wutongzi said. “These are the forces that oppose nothingness. Your Timefire Law happens to possess these characteristics, which is why it’s possible to counteract the power of nothingness.”

Chu Yang nodded thoughtfully and began to consider how to apply these theories to actual combat.

“There’s also a sealing formation,” Wutongzi continued. “The seal that trapped the Nirvana Phoenix is ​​extremely complex, involving the interweaving of multiple levels of laws. You must learn how to analyze and break this seal.”

As he spoke, Wutongzi carved a complex pattern on the ground, which was a miniature model of a sealing formation.

“The core of this seal is the Void Chains,” Wutongzi said, pointing to the center of the pattern. “These chains are not only physical constraints, but also suppression at the level of laws. To break them, you need to find the seal's weak point and then attack it using the correct method.”

Chu Yang carefully observed the pattern, trying to memorize every detail. He knew that this knowledge would be key to rescuing Archaeopteryx.

“Most importantly,” Wutongzi said earnestly, “you must remember that strength isn’t everything. Sometimes, wisdom and skill are more important than pure power. The Abyss of Despair is called Despair not only because of its harsh environment, but also because it can destroy a person’s will.”

“I understand, senior,” Chu Yang said earnestly, “I will remember your teachings.”

Time continued to pass, and under Wutongzi's guidance, Chu Yang learned various profound knowledge and skills. Although his strength was still improving, more importantly, his knowledge and wisdom were constantly growing.

“There’s something else I must tell you,” Wutongzi suddenly said, her voice turning serious one day. “The location of the Abyss of Despair is extremely well-hidden; even knowing the general direction, finding it won’t be easy.”

Chu Yang nodded and said, "I understand, senior. I will use the connection of the inheritance to find it."

“The inherited connection is indeed useful, but it’s not enough,” Wutongzi said. “I’m going to give you something that will help you pinpoint the location of the Abyss of Despair more accurately.”

As he spoke, Wutongzi took out a peculiar compass from his bosom. This compass was entirely silver, its surface covered with intricate runes, and it emitted a mysterious light.

“This is the Void Compass,” Wutongzi explained. “It can sense fluctuations in the power of nothingness, thus pinpointing the location of the Void Demon Lord. Since the Nirvana Phoenix is ​​imprisoned by the Void Demon Lord, finding the Void Demon Lord is equivalent to finding her.”

Chu Yang took the compass, sensing the mysterious power it contained: "Thank you, senior."

“And this,” Wutongzi said, taking out another seed radiating golden light, “is the primordial seed of Wutong Star, containing a wisp of my will. If you encounter mortal danger, you can activate it, and I will do everything in my power to help you.” Chu Yang carefully accepted the seed, feeling the warm power within it: “Senior, this is too precious.”

“There’s nothing precious or not precious,” Wutongzi waved her hand and said, “Your safety is more important than anything else. After all, you are the only hope for the Phoenix Reborn.”

Chu Yang carefully put the seeds away from his body and then asked, "Senior, when can I set off?"

Wutongzi carefully examined Chu Yang's cultivation progress, then nodded and said, "Your strength has reached the perfect Saint realm, and you've mastered almost all the knowledge and skills. I think it's time to prepare for departure."

Hearing this, Chu Yang felt both excited and nervous. He was excited because he could finally go in search of Archaeopteryx, but nervous because unprecedented danger awaited him.

“However, before we set off, there is one last thing,” Wutongzi said, “I need to perform a special enhancement for you.”

"Special enhancement?" Chu Yang asked in confusion.

“Yes,” Wutongzi nodded, “I will infuse a portion of the primordial power of Wutong Star into your body, so that you can maintain your formidable fighting strength even after you leave this place.”

Chu Yang asked in shock, "Won't this harm you?"

"It will have some impact, but it won't be fatal," Wutongzi said calmly. "Besides, it's necessary. With your current strength, although you're already very strong, you're still somewhat strained facing the environment of the Abyss of Despair and the challenge from the Void Demon Lord."

Chu Yang looked at Wutongzi with emotion: "Senior, you have done so much for me."

"Enough of that," Wutongzi interrupted him. "Prepare for the enhancement. The process might be a bit painful, so be mentally prepared."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged: "I'm ready, advance."

Wutongzi nodded, then began chanting an ancient incantation. As the incantation rang out, the entire Wutong Star began to glow, and countless golden rays of light surged from the depths of the earth, converging around Chu Yang.

These rays of light contained the primordial power accumulated by the planet Wutong over billions of years, encompassing a profound understanding of the laws and an ultimate insight into life. When this power was injected into Chu Yang's body, he felt unprecedented pain, as if his entire body was being torn apart.

But Chu Yang gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew this was the most precious gift Wutongzi had given him, and he could not let it down.

With the infusion of primal power, Chu Yang felt his strength rapidly increasing. It wasn't just the growth in magical power, but more importantly, his understanding of the laws of nature had reached a completely new level. He seemed to see deeper laws governing the universe and sense the true meaning of life.

This process lasted for three days and three nights. When it was all over, Chu Yang had been completely transformed. Although his aura was still that of a Saint at the Perfected Realm, the pressure contained within it far exceeded that of an ordinary Saint at the Perfected Realm, and even approached that of a higher level of existence.

"How are you? How do you feel?" Wutongzi asked weakly.

Chu Yang opened his eyes, which gleamed with golden light: "Senior, I feel stronger than ever before. But you..."

At this moment, Wutongzi was noticeably weaker, and his figure had become somewhat transparent, clearly indicating that he had been greatly affected by separating his original power.

"I'm fine, I'll recover after some rest," Wutongzi said with a forced smile. "Now you're qualified to challenge the Abyss of Despair."

Chu Yang bowed deeply to Wutongzi: "I will never forget your kindness, senior. No matter the outcome, I will do everything in my power to rescue Archaeopteryx."

“I believe you can do it,” Wutongzi said with satisfaction. “Go, don’t keep the Phoenix Reborn waiting too long.”

After bidding farewell to Wutong Star, Chu Yang embarked on a perilous journey alone into the abyss of despair.

"Senior, I will definitely live up to your expectations," Chu Yang vowed silently in his heart, then resolutely turned and flew into the deep starry sky.

The outer starry sky unfolded before him, countless stars like diamonds set against the black canvas. But Chu Yang knew that beneath this beautiful exterior lay countless dangers. Through his cultivation and studies on Wutong Star, he had gained a deeper understanding of the perils of the outer starry sky.

Chu Yang took out the Void Compass that Wutongzi had given him and observed its pointer. The compass pointer slowly rotated, searching for fluctuations in the power of nothingness. According to Wutongzi's guidance, as long as he followed the direction of this pointer, he could find the location of the Void Demon Lord and then find the imprisoned Ancestral Bird.

"It looks like the direction is towards the edge of the Milky Way," Chu Yang analyzed the compass's direction. "The Abyss of Despair is indeed in the most remote place."

He adjusted his direction and began to fly, guided by the compass. With the support of the primordial power of the Wutongzi, Chu Yang's flight speed was several times faster than before, and the suppression of the laws he experienced in the outer space was also greatly reduced.

The initial part of the journey was relatively peaceful. Chu Yang only occasionally encountered some small, wandering celestial creatures, which he easily avoided. Most of these creatures were not hostile towards him; they were simply observing this unfamiliar visitor with curiosity.

But as they ventured deeper into the heart of space, the environment began to deteriorate. The stars became sparser, and some areas were completely dark. Even more terrifying, space itself became unstable, with distortions and fissures appearing intermittently.

"Is this the dangerous area Senior Wutongzi mentioned?" Chu Yang carefully avoided a spatial rift. "It is indeed much more dangerous than the starry sky surrounding the Primordial World."

Just as Chu Yang was pondering, an anomaly suddenly appeared ahead. The once tranquil void began to distort violently, with countless silver rays of light flashing within it. These rays leaped like lightning, tearing apart the surrounding spatial structure.

"Spatial turbulence!" Chu Yang was startled and immediately stopped moving forward.

This was precisely one of the most dangerous phenomena in the outer space that Wutongzi had warned him about. Spatial turbulence was formed by the collision of multiple different spatial forces, containing terrifying energy capable of tearing everything apart. Even a Saint-level expert would find it difficult to escape unscathed once caught in it.

Chu Yang carefully observed the spatial turbulence ahead, searching for a safe route. This turbulence was extremely vast, stretching for tens of thousands of miles; completely bypassing it would waste a lot of time. Moreover, according to the Void Compass's indications, he had to pass through this area to reach his destination.

"It seems I have no choice but to be careful when traveling through time," Chu Yang took a deep breath and began to activate the time law within his body.

With the enhancement of the Time Law, Chu Yang's perception was greatly improved, allowing him to predict the changing trends of spatial turbulence. He cautiously approached the edge of the turbulence, searching for a relatively stable spatial passage.

Suddenly, Chu Yang discovered a path that seemed relatively safe. It was a narrow spatial passage; although there were raging turbulent currents on both sides, the space in the middle was relatively stable.

"Let's go through here," Chu Yang decided, then channeled all his magical power and shot towards the passage like an arrow.

As soon as he entered the spatial turbulence zone, Chu Yang felt unprecedented pressure. The surrounding space constantly twisted and changed, generating powerful tearing forces. If it weren't for the protection of the Wutong Star's primordial power, his body would probably have been torn to shreds long ago.
