Chapter 610: Chapter 469: Journey to the West World (Part 2)
In that instant, consciousness and senses broke through the boundaries of "dimensions."
He suddenly "saw" countless "layers" of space stacked together.
A total of thirteen "layers."
With a thought, Lu Li’s "body" began to plummet rapidly.
Perhaps he fell for a thousand years.
Or maybe it was just the blink of an eye.
He arrived at the very bottom of the thirteenth layer.
It was boundless void, possibly devoid of anything.
No time.
No space.
No matter.
As if nothing existed.
To the extent that Lu Li felt as though he himself might not exist!
"Void of nothingness?"
Lu Li paused, puzzled by the significance of this void, but before his thoughts settled, a black and a white dot of light appeared out of the void.
The two points of light collided, emitting an infinitely dazzling light.
Immediately, Lu Li watched as this light point rose above the void.
Curiously, he followed.
With a thought, energy ascended.
As if piercing through the dimensional barriers.
The next moment, Lu Li arrived at a level filled with gleaming light points.
Before him were endless, brilliantly radiant points of light, densely packed like the waters of the sea.
Lu Li saw that this "dimension" was immensely larger than the sea.
Boundless without limits, even if the cosmos dwelled within, it would be like a grain in the ocean, yet here he still could not feel the presence of time and space, only the material of light.
Lu Li grew increasingly bewildered.
Truly uncertain about what world these endless points of light made up.
Suddenly, one of the points began to expand its light, continually diffusing.
What was astounding seemed close at hand, surrounded by endless light points, yet its expanding light did not touch any other point, and when this light point reached a certain limit, although it still existed, it no longer emitted any light.
Lu Li sensed something unusual.
With a thought, he ventured inside.
A shocking scene appeared before him!
This too was a vast and boundless cosmos, still expanding.
Endless sixty-two colored primal particles compressed together.
Lu Li could "see" countless intense energy oscillations releasing extremely high temperatures.
Temperatures trillions, tens of trillions, even several tens of trillions of times hotter than a nuclear explosion.
As the energy oscillations gradually subsided, the temperature dropped.
Sixty-two colored particles collided violently like a storm.
Various types of particles continually fused, forming nebulae, planets, and all materials of the world.
Lu Li was tremendously awed.
Never imagining this was a newly born cosmos!
"One point of light represents a cosmos?"
Lu Li’s "consciousness" rose a bit, finally "seeing" clearly that this indeed was the "Cosmic Mother Sea" he had observed earlier.
Previously, his observation was from a "plane perspective," only seeing endless cosmos.
This time, from a "three-dimensional perspective," he immediately noticed more circumstances.
Such as cosmoses continually birthing and dying within the "Cosmic Mother Sea."
Some cosmoses birth in a blink of an eye.
While others seem to reach the limit of their "lifespan" and vanish within.
These were Lu Li’s current observations of the second "dimension."
"Since the second layer is the Cosmic Mother Sea, then what is the first layer?"
He truly couldn’t think of an adjective to describe the first layer.
If he had to describe it, he could only say like Laozi: I do not know its name, forced to call it Dao.
Now, Lu Li became deeply interested in the third layer, wishing to understand what it really was.
His "consciousness" accompanied energy rising once again.
This time, he felt some "strain," as if the energy wasn’t strong enough to continue ascending.
Lu Li drew more energy from within, gathering into the energy carrying his "consciousness."
The next moment, the energy replenished, bravely rising upward once more.
Soon, Lu Li saw clearly what the third layer was.
This was an unbelievable "dimension!"
Here too were individual "worlds."
The left side was the world of countless gods and buddhas!
The right side a world of bizarre magic!
Before him, there was even a so-called Marvel Universe world!
And "Journey to the West," "Fengshen Yanyi," "Shushan Chuan," as well as worlds Lu Li had never heard of or known.
Lu Li realized none of the "worlds" here truly existed.
This was the "Fantasy World!"
Any thought born of any thinking creature could find traces here!
Lu Li even saw his own sequence of thoughts before his fifth deep evolution.
However, after his fifth deep evolution, none of his thoughts could be traced here.
Lu Li tried entering one of these imaginary worlds.
He chose to enter the world of "Journey to the West."
Suddenly, Lu Li’s view flickered, truly entering within "Journey to the West!"
Upon entry, a cluster of introductions popped into his consciousness, "It is said that the number of heaven and earth is one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years for one yuan. Dividing one yuan into twelve meetings... sensing Pangu’s creation, the reign of the Three Sovereigns, the establishment of order by the Five Emperors, the world thus divided into four continents... Overseas there is a land, called Ao Lai Country..."
Lu Li entered the "Fantasy World" timeline, seemingly the fifth episode of "Journey to the West," "The Great Saint Disrupts the Peach Banquet, All Gods Capture the Monster."
He "saw" Sun Wukong just immobilizing the Seven Fairy Maidens, surrounded by many peach trees.
On the ground were many peaches with a bite taken from them.
Lu Li’s heart moved, attempting to use energy to manipulate one of the peaches nibbled by the monkey.
Easily, he manipulated that peach.
However, when he tried to bring the peach out of the Journey to the West world, something frightening occurred.
An imperceptible, fearsome power inexplicably emerged, fiercely striking at the energy carrying his "consciousness."
Though Lu Li noticed immediately, he still couldn’t evade it, the energy was scattered.
Naturally, he couldn’t bring the peach out of Journey to the West world.
Consciousness returned to reality.
Lu Li blinked, "According to what just happened, I seemed to have had a chance to bring the peach into the real world, but an imperceptible power was blocking my action."
He pondered whether he truly had a chance to obtain a peach if he played a game of wits and bravery with that invisible power.
Additionally, peaches in the Journey to the West world were described as: "There are three thousand six hundred trees: at the front twelve hundred, blossoms slightly, fruits small, ripen every three thousand years, eating them becomes an immortal on the Dao, body fit and light; in the middle twelve hundred, flowers sweet and solid, ripen every six thousand years, eating them ascends gloriously, eternal life; the last twelve hundred, purple and cyan, ripen every nine thousand years, eating them grants longevity equal to heaven and earth, same age as sun and moon."
Lu Li was immensely curious whether bringing peaches to the real world would have the same effect as described in "Journey to the West?"
"Later I’ll enter the ’Journey to the West’ world and try again, see if I can break through to a higher ’dimension.’"
Lu Li thought "enlightenment" was more important than stealing peaches from the "Journey to the West" world, naturally wishing to see the conditions of the fourth dimension first.
Therefore, he once again manipulated energy and entered the "space crack."
But this time he was blocked, he couldn’t increase the energy intensity enough to break through the "third dimension."
Lu Li analyzed carefully, "It should be because my own strength is still relatively weak, only able to pierce through the first three dimensions, and thus unable to enter the fourth dimension."
Unable to advance, there was no choice.
He wasn’t disappointed.
Lu Li continued controlling energy, entering the "Journey to the West" world once more.
He wanted to see if he truly had a chance to obtain a peach from this Fantasy World.
If possible, it would be quite a gain.
