Chapter 2043: Chapter 2043 Huge Gulf
"This isn’t the secret realm, so you don’t need to worry about time. Take your time!"
The Book Demon, who is less than a mile away from him, said to Ye Liuyun, "If you can reach me, it validates that you’re not that stupid!"
"Such a short distance?"
Ye Liuyun looked at the surprisingly short distance. Given his current realm, he could arrive with a single leap. However, since the Book Demon was using this to test him, it certainly would not be that easy.
"Let’s try and see!"
With this thought, Ye Liuyun directly dashed towards the Book Demon with a leap.
However, this leap did not shorten the distance at all.
"Huh? Let’s try the spatial force again!"
Ye Liuyun immediately switched methods.
This time, he intended to traverse directly through the void space. Due to the short distance, he directly entered the first level of void space, taking a step forward.
But when he emerged from the void, he found that his current position was only one step further than before.
"What..."
Ye Liuyun was somewhat baffled.
If he could not utilize the spatial force, he really did not know what other methods to use.
"Even a step forward is good! Let’s try a higher level of void space!"
With that thought, he once again entered the second stratum of the Void and took one step forward. But upon exiting, he found himself having moved only one step forward again.
"Let’s go higher up!"
This time, Ye Liuyun directly entered the sixth layer of the Void. Based on his usual experience, he should have been able to cover a distance of thousands of kilometers by now. But when he exited, he had only moved one step forward.
Next, he begun to run wildly within the sixth Void. Yet, this time upon exiting, he wounded up in even worse circumstances. He was stuck at the same spot.
"How is it possible that there is such a huge gulf between two nearby points! What exactly is going on?" Ye Liuyun began to contemplate.
"If he wants to test my understanding, it must mean that I cannot pass this test through sheer force. But why did I not move even a single step during the final attempt?"
On the opposite side, the Book Demon was watching him with a chuckling grin.
"If he is testing me with distance, it must be related to the spatial force! But I’ve already entered the sixth stratum of the Void, could it be that he is in an even higher dimension of Void?"
Ye Liuyun pondered a bit, then immediately activated his Golden Pupils to scrutinize the Book Demon.
Only then did the Book Demon give a slightly satisfied nod.
Ye Liuyun also discovered that the space around the Book Demon was different from all the other spatial layers. It was a space overlapped by the first, second and third voids.
The Book Demon’s position was also at the overlapping point of the multiple dimensions of void.
Although Ye Liuyun had identified the problem, he had no idea how to solve it, so he slowly sat down and began to ponder.
Logically speaking, he should be able to reach the Book Demon from any layer of the void. He could even reach there directly without passing through the Void.
"But why can’t I reach there? Even when I traverse through the sixth layer of the void, I still can’t get there! What kind of special space is this?"
According to Ye Liuyun’s understanding, if the upper Void were to crowd into the lower Void, it would compress the lower space into nothingness. Individual spaces could not overlap with each other.
With this in mind, he began to experiment with spatial compression.
Just as he thought, the lower spaces were directly obliterated under the pressure.
"This isn’t going to work either!"
Ye Liuyun racked his brain, once again scrutinizing the Book Demon with his Golden Phantom Eyes and Divine sense, meticulously analyzing the spatial structure around it.
He was also reminiscing about why, despite moving a step forward previously in the first, second, and sixth layers of the void. He had journeyed so far into the sixth layer of the void without making any progress.
Subsequently, he repeatedly ventured into the void, keenly perceiving the spatial force around him, hoping to gain some insights.
"How can I exist in multiple layers of void at the same time?"
All his passion was invested in the study of spatial force.
The Book Monster was patiently awaiting him, mysteriously procured a chair from somewhere, and sat down to watch Ye Liuyun’s struggles.
Suddenly, Ye Liuyun had a revelation, "The previous few times when I moved a step forward were all leaps from the lower space to the upper space, and the last time was in the same level of the sixth layer of the space."
With this in mind, Ye Liuyun began to test this theory.
Sure enough, each time he jumped from the lower void to the upper void, he was able to move a step forward.
However, even including the previous three steps, he had only taken six steps in total. Repetition no longer yielded the same result.
At this moment, the Book Demon continuously nodded, full of anticipation for Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was engrossed in his research, oblivious to the expression on the Book Demon’s face.
He suddenly realised that although his spatial force had been cultivated for such a long time and could enter the sixth layer of void, the actual application seemed to be only used for hurrying or fleeing. The real application of spatial force was not much.
This was also related to the fact that he had no guidance. But now, triggered by the Book Demon’s hint, he started to study the application of spatial force.
He started practicing with Hyper Hop, sending a large stone next to him into the first layer of the void.
When the stone reappeared, it was still in front of Ye Liuyun. Then he moved the stone into the second layer of the void, and sure enough, it advanced a little further.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun started to experiment with stones.
"From low to high!"
Ye Liuyun suddenly had an epiphany.
"Since the spatial compression from higher to lower layer will annihilate the lower space, what about the opposite?"
He tried to squeeze the lower space into the higher space, sending the stone and the surrounding space to the first layer of void directly. But likewise, along with the stone, the entire space was destroyed.
"Try to hold on!"
Ye Liuyun continued to try, found another stone, but this time, he used his own space power to maintain the space around the stone.
With his current space power, this was a piece of cake. The result was that the space where the stone was actually merged with the first layer of the void.
He moved the stone forward one step and let the stone return to the current space.
"So far away!"
The outcome astonished Ye Liuyun, as the stone landed a hundred steps away.
The book demon also broke into a pleased smile at this point.
Without delay, Ye Liuyun once again moved that stone. He used his spatial force to hold it, blending it into the first layer of the void. Again using spatial force to keep it afloat, he then proceeded to the next layer of space to continue the fusion, keeping this up until he reached the third layer of space just to see the effect.
But this time, the stone appeared directly above the book demon’s head.
The book demon responded swiftly as well. With a flick of his finger, the stone suddenly appeared above Ye Liuyun’s head.
Ye Liuyun, dumbfounded by this shift, didn’t react in time and was precisely hit by the stone. Lucky for him, he had a strong physical body and didn’t feel much pain.
"Hahaha!" To everyone’s surprise, he laughed out loud.
Having found the method, everything else would be straightforward.
He used his spatial force to blend himself and the surrounding space into the first layer of the void, then the second layer, and finally the third.
There was no need for him to fuse into higher layers of the void. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the book demon.
