Lu Yin knew that the Earth Realm was a trap set by the thirteen Celestials for Yu Sang Tian. This was the most important thing. If the consciousness universe could defeat Yu Sang Tian in this battle, the situation would change.
He wanted to see the future, but unfortunately, the River of Time was not there, and it could not build a bridge to the future.
Battle power and cultivation were two different concepts.
Fate could plot against Maiden through the River of Time, but Lu Yin could not do that.
All he could do was take things one step at a time. When an opponent reached a certain level of strength, any strategy would be a joke.
Unless the consciousness universe could transform him.
Traveling in the dark was boring, but the cultivation of the Truth Sutra made the journey less boring.
For the top cultivators of the Boundless Universe, a mere ten years could not transform their strength, but the Nine Heavens Transformation and the Truth Sutra could transform some people.
Lu Yin felt that the crazy director's aura was becoming more and more restrained. He was clearly sitting there, but sometimes he almost missed the fact that his aura was one with the environment.
When a person practiced cultivation, they could blend in with the environment. They didn't need to be very strong, but it depended on the environment. There were peerless cultivators everywhere in the Boundless Territory. It wasn't easy to disappear from their eyes.
All along, the crazy director's Path of the Red Dust had made everyone look forward to it. Regardless of whether or not his battle power would transform, that Path of the Red Dust had forcefully pushed Bao Qi and the Desolate God to the brink of disaster.
Perhaps one day, others would also need this help.
The closer they got to the consciousness universe, the more curious they became about this unfamiliar universe. Almost all of the spiritualized cultivators had been to the Boundless Universe before.
"The situation of the consciousness universe might be different from what you think. Let me ask, is the Tian Yuan Universe similar to our spiritualized universe?" Tianya asked.
The Great Genetic Age.
Ce Wangtian said, "More or less. They are both universes, but because the Tian Yuan Universe does not have a unified cultivation model, there is no absolute main spacetime. Whichever parallel spacetime is the strongest is followed. Now, it listens to the Primordial Space, which used to be called the main space."
"Other than that, there is not much difference. Starry skies, celestial bodies, stars, and so on."
Tianya nodded. "Then my guess is correct. The consciousness universe is indeed special, even though I have not been to other universes before."
After a pause, he continued, "The consciousness universe also has stars, but they are alive."
Everyone was surprised. "Alive?"
By the side, Dia Wu rolled her eyes, "Don't spout nonsense; it's just an endless loop."
"What's going on?" Lu Tianyi was curious.
Dia Wu explained, "The consciousness universe has a type of celestial body called a Broken World. The regions covered by this celestial body will constantly have certain scenes, such as the growth of creatures, the birth of planets, the killing of species, survival, and so on. This type of celestial body is spread throughout the consciousness universe, and every planet in the consciousness universe has a Broken World. Some are big, some are small, so they seem to be alive."
"Until now, we still don't understand these scenes. Are they born out of thin air, or are they recreated from the past? In our spiritualized universe, we have some guesses. These scenes might have been rebooted by the consciousness universe before, and the scenes from the previous consciousness universe have continued to this day, but that's just a guess."
"Some people speculate that it's the Astral Sea Mirage."
"Celestial Sea Mirage Tower?" Mu Zhu was surprised.
Dia Wu nodded, her expression solemn, "The universe is vast and boundless. Even an immortal expert would not be able to touch the end of a square inch. Apart from the three universes that we know of, are there any other universes?
Of course there are, and they might not be few, but they are too far away for us to come into contact with. Because the consciousness universe has countless sentient lifeforms, these lifeforms are essentially sentient, and the consciousness universe itself has the power of sentience. Perhaps this power resonates with the other universes, reflecting the scenes that have appeared in other universes here in the form of sentience. This is the Astral Sea Mirage Tower. "
The Star Toad mumbled, "It has the same logic as the mirage."
"More or less," Dia Wu said.
Luo Shan asked, "Is this Broken World dangerous?"
World's Edge's expression was solemn, "This is actually the main point we're talking about today. The Broken World is very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Once you see it, don't go near it."
"Countless scenes have appeared in the Broken World, and many of them don't even have any living creatures. Although we haven't seen many of the creatures in these scenes before, they aren't dangerous and are very ordinary. A space-exploring cultivator can easily pass through them. Most of the Broken Worlds in the consciousness universe are like this."
"However, this doesn't represent all of them. Some of the creatures in these Broken Worlds are terrifyingly strong, and there are even scenes of past battles. Once an outsider enters and is affected, it'll be the same as being affected by a battle in the real world. Whether or not you can come out depends on the intensity of the battle."
"Let me put it this way."
World's Edge's gaze swept across the crowd, and he said in a low voice, "In the spiritualized universe, more than a hundred Spirit Realm cultivators have died in the Broken Worlds, and more than ten Spirit Primes and Bitter Adversity cultivators have died. Even Mulberry Sky died in the consciousness universe, and one of the reasons for that was the Broken Worlds."
Luo Shan was solemn. Was it that dangerous?
In the distance, he had his hands behind his back. He understood the consciousness universe very well, more than anyone else. After all, he had fused with Wuwei and Hua Manyi's bodies.
The Broken Worlds were the Stele Worlds that he had encountered in the Primordial Space.
The Stele Worlds would endlessly repeat past scenes, and everything inside was gray. Gray people, gray creatures, gray battle shockwaves, and so on. The first time he had encountered the Stele Worlds was during the battle for the Star Tower. At that time, if he hadn't reversed his steps, he might not have been able to walk out. The second time was at the Frigid Immortal Sect's ruins in the Primordial Space, which was also where the Daynight clan was located. The Progenitor had attacked the Stele Worlds there, and it had severely injured him at that time.
At that time, he had wondered why the Stele Worlds existed.
As his cultivation increased, the possibilities of his guesses decreased, and many of the possibilities had been denied. In the end, he didn't bother about this matter anymore.
Even if a person's cultivation could destroy the universe, it might not be able to explain the origin of a grain of sand.
Lu Yin stopped thinking about the Stele Worlds.
However, after understanding the consciousness universe, he was shocked to discover that it was actually a Stele Worlds that had been magnified countless times. The scenes inside the Broken Worlds were also gray, and once they were disturbed, the creatures inside would attack and destroy all foreign creatures. The shockwaves of ancient battles could also be seen there.
Now, he had to think about the Stele Worlds.
Similar scenes had appeared in the Stele Worlds, the Frigid Immortal Sect's ruins, and the consciousness universe. There had to be a connection.
"This scar came from the Broken Worlds.
This is the Broken Worlds. "
World Edge rolled up his clothes and showed everyone the scar on his shoulder. "Although this scar can be healed, I'll keep it to remind myself that this injury came from the Broken Worlds and that I shouldn't underestimate them."
"Broken worlds make people look down on them unknowingly because most of the broken worlds, or rather, 99% of the broken worlds are harmless. Among the remaining 10% of the broken worlds, most of them don't pose much of a threat to cultivators. This is why cultivators who go on expeditions to the Universe of Consciousness will look down on the broken worlds. Some people have been fighting in the Universe of Consciousness for thousands of years or even longer and have never encountered any danger in the broken worlds. Those people like to traverse the broken worlds because it is extremely dangerous."
"Therefore, cultivators who go from the spiritualized universe to the Consciousness Universe for the first time are warned not to underestimate the Broken Worlds.
"However, the number of people who die in the Broken Worlds every year is still high."
"Therefore, cultivators from the spiritualized universe fight in small groups in the Consciousness Universe?" Heavenly Lord Victorious Battle asked.
World Edge nodded. "That's one of the reasons. However, the main reason is the consciousness lifeforms. The range of their consciousness attacks is too wide. Once they can't block it, it doesn't matter how many people there are. If they can block it, one is enough.
Lu Tianyi asked, "Does the Broken Worlds affect the consciousness lifeforms?"
Dia Wu said, "Yes, but it doesn't affect them much. It's just like when we fight against the consciousness lifeforms. If we can't affect their consciousness, we won't be able to harm them. Unless the consciousness lifeforms take the initiative to transform into their biological form, then it's no different from us entering the Broken Worlds."
"In the Broken Worlds, the consciousness lifeforms have an advantage over us."
Heavenly Lord Victorious Battle was curious. "Where's the most dangerous Broken World you've experienced?"
World Edge and Dia Wu looked at each other. "It's not fixed. This is also a unique characteristic of the Broken Worlds. They can float around. Today, they might be here, tomorrow, they might be there. We once entered a Broken World by accident. At that time, we were also trying to avoid the pursuit of a 13 Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivator. A group of people rushed into that Broken World, and in the end, only the two of us managed to escape."
"The scene repeated in that Broken World was a ritual."
"After we entered the Broken World, we subconsciously remained silent, but there were always some people who didn't care and looked down on the Broken World. Because of the 13 Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivators chasing after us, those people were terrified, which alarmed the lifeforms in the Broken World."
"We've never seen those lifeforms before, but their actions should have been a ritual. All of us were sacrificed, and the strongest lifeform definitely had a power level comparable to Sang Tian's. It used a bamboo blade to slaughter all of us cultivators and stabbed me in the shoulder. We were lucky enough to escape. Now that I think about it, the 13 Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivators who were chasing after us definitely knew how terrifying that Broken World was and didn't chase after us. Otherwise, in many situations, the consciousness lifeforms would have chased after the Broken World."
"This is also one of the ways to determine whether a Broken World is dangerous or not. It depends on whether or not the consciousness universe can enter. Because the consciousness lifeforms have lived for a long time, and the Broken World belongs to the consciousness universe, their understanding of the Broken World far surpasses ours."
Lu Yin listened quietly and then released Wu Wei, which was five meters away from him.
He wanted to search for the Broken World from Wu Wei's memories.
Wu Wei's memories were boundless, and Lu Yin had only seen the tip of the iceberg when he had viewed Wu Wei's memories twice. Now, he was specifically searching for memories related to the Broken World.
Within Wu Wei's memories, there were many Broken Worlds in the consciousness universe that could be found throughout the universe. These Broken Worlds were just as Dancing Butterfly Butterfly World Edge had said: they were not fixed and could float around. Consciousness lifeforms could not determine whether a Broken World was dangerous or not, but they could exchange information with each other.
