In the quiet chamber, the four murals on the corner of the wall—three complete and one fragmented—grew increasingly intricate. Naturally, Dongbo Xueying first focused his efforts on comprehending the first mural, which he could somewhat grasp.
“This unfinished supreme technique pertains to the Void,” Dongbo Xueying mused as countless threads danced within the three-dimensional array before him, growing ever more complex and refined. “This first mural… demands an extraordinarily profound understanding of the Void. However, as a Voidwalker, my comprehension of the Void surpasses even that of most Chaos Realm overlords.”
This was no exaggeration.
Among the Chaos Realm overlords, some followed devouring systems, others bloodline systems, and still others ancient cultivation paths. Their understanding of the Void was indeed shallow. The reason they could tear open spacetime passages in the Sacred Realm was due to their rule domains forming miniature universes! Within these ‘miniature universe’ domains, their control over the Void was immense, allowing them to achieve such feats. It was not because they had accumulated profound insights into the Void.
The ‘Voidwalker’ lineage, however, was different. This path cultivated by drawing upon the power of the chaotic Void, and the *Walker’s Secret Codex* was a method that deepened one’s understanding of the Void the further one progressed. The more one cultivated, the more profound their comprehension and control of the Void became.
Thus—
Though the threshold of the four murals left behind by the Ninecloud Emperor was exceedingly high, Dongbo Xueying quickly delved deep into them.
“This…?”
“It’s actually a completely different direction?”
As Dongbo Xueying gradually deciphered the mural, he grew astonished. “It’s the polar opposite of the Voidwalker system?”
The Voidwalker system was about holistic mastery over the Void.
Yet this first mural… seemed to dissect the Void, relentlessly studying its ‘smallest’ components.
“The smallest components of the Void?” Dongbo Xueying pondered.
*Hum!*
He also observed the Void.
The seemingly empty space before him rapidly expanded under his gaze, magnifying again and again… until countless surging energies became visible—the omnipresent power of heaven and earth. These energies were composed of innumerable minuscule particles, densely packed like grains of rice porridge, filling every corner of the Void.
“Further magnification,” Dongbo Xueying observed even deeper.
*Whoosh.*
The once densely packed particles now appeared as vast as planets in his vision, their distances from one another stretching into vast emptiness.
“Further,” Dongbo Xueying focused on the empty void between the particles. According to the mysteries embedded in the first mural left by the Ninecloud Emperor, the goal was to study the Void’s most fundamental structure.
“Hmm?” Despite his utmost efforts, Dongbo Xueying could delve no deeper. Reaching this level of observation already signified an extraordinarily high mastery over the Void.
“It seems I must rely on the insights within this mural,” Dongbo Xueying carefully studied the mural.
…
Time seemed to pass swiftly in the midst of his contemplation.
Dongbo Xueying lost track of how long he had spent, but within his eyes, intricate arrays continuously manifested, growing ever more profound.
*Whoosh.*
Under his gaze, the vast emptiness between the particles of heaven and earth’s energy, though immense, had previously revealed nothing. But now, this void abruptly expanded—though it was not truly his eyes seeing, but rather his soul’s perception deepening through comprehension. What his soul perceived, his eyes saw.
The distances between the particles now stretched into boundless infinity, and Dongbo Xueying faintly glimpsed something indistinct yet vast within.
It resembled an endless black cloth!
Was the Void, in its essence, an endless black cloth?
“No.”
“I haven’t fully deciphered this mural yet. Clearly, my dissection of the Void isn’t deep enough.” Dongbo Xueying continued his contemplation, his excitement growing. He faintly sensed that he was touching upon a mysterious, unknown aspect of the world.
Fueled by passion, Dongbo Xueying devoted himself entirely to the study.
Time became irrelevant…
Countless times he hit roadblocks, even turning to study the *Walker’s Secret Codex* for insights before returning to the first mural. Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached the 40th layer of the *Walker’s Secret Codex*. Progressing further was immensely difficult—the leap from the 40th to the 41st layer represented a qualitative transformation, the essence of breaking into the Chaos Realm.
*Boom—*
With his profound understanding of the Void,
his exceptional enlightenment,
the guidance of the Ninecloud Emperor’s complete first mural,
and his unyielding passion—
Dongbo Xueying finally achieved a breakthrough, fully comprehending the first mural.
*Boom.* Like an ordinary mortal gaining a telescope to see farther, Dongbo Xueying’s understanding of the Void deepened exponentially after deciphering the first mural.
*Whoosh—*
What had once appeared as a vague, endless black cloth at the Void’s smallest scale now sharpened under his gaze, magnifying a hundred million times further. Suddenly, Dongbo Xueying saw countless densely packed black particles forming layer upon layer of endless ‘black cloths.’
These vast, overlapping layers constituted the Void’s most fundamental existence.
“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying understood intuitively.
Teleportation, tearing open spacetime passages… these were all fundamentally facilitated by these core ‘black cloths.’ Previously, he had merely used them without understanding their essence. Chaos Realm overlords relied solely on their ‘miniature universe domains’ to forcibly manipulate the Void, while Dongbo Xueying had only leveraged his holistic control over the Void. Even those who cultivated the Void Path through rule-based insights merely manipulated the rules—never truly discovering that the rules they invoked were these very ‘black cloths.’
“These black particles…” Dongbo Xueying observed the countless black particles composing the cloths.
Under his scrutiny, each black particle appeared several times larger than a watermelon in an ordinary person’s eyes.
These particles were not solid but resembled spheres condensed from black mist, each with a dark, hollow core—like a passage leading to an unknown realm.
“At the Void’s smallest scale, where do these hollow cores within the black particles lead?” Dongbo Xueying felt both puzzled and apprehensive. He knew full well how arduous it was to observe these ‘black particle hollows.’ The difficulty of the first mural left by the Ninecloud Emperor rivaled that of the second form of the Dark World—’Heaven’s Execution Blade.’
With the Voidwalker lineage’s comprehension and control of the Void, and having cultivated the *Walker’s Secret Codex* to the 40th layer as his foundation—alongside the complete first mural left by the Emperor—it had still taken him over six million years to master it.
“Let’s see… where does this lead?”
Dongbo Xueying extended his perception through the hollows of the black particles, delving inward.
