Chapter 185: Chapter 23: Space Segmentation
Is the Heavenly Dao Flawed?
Li Jiu Feng immediately perked up, sensing something was off.
Tai Yuan Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know exactly what the problem is, but I just feel that the Heavenly Dao... it's too weak."
"Too weak?" Li Jiu Feng frowned. There was indeed something wrong with this Heavenly Dao.
Tai Yuan Immortal continued, "In the memories of the Tai Yuan Immortal Emperor, there's information about the Heavenly Dao. All of it mentions that the Heavenly Dao is indifferent, and the Great Dao is impartial. It treats all living things equally."
"There's a saying, 'Heaven and Earth are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs,' meaning that the Heavenly Dao is detached from all living beings. It operates on its own, without interfering in the world's matters. Just like the Hundred Clans in the dimensional battlefield, even if they are wiped out, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't bat an eye. After their destruction, new clans would appear. This has always been the case. So, I'm very curious about why the Heavenly Dao in the dimensional battlefield would issue the Heavenly Dao Golden List. This is impossible. To me, it's very strange," Tai Yuan Immortal explained.
Li Jiu Feng understood and turned his gaze to the Heavenly Dao Golden List with a thoughtful look. "So, you're saying there's something wrong with the Heavenly Dao Golden List?"
"I can't be sure. You'll have to investigate it yourself. What I'm saying is based on the memories of the Tai Yuan Immortal Emperor, purely speculative, with no concrete evidence," Tai Yuan Immortal clarified.
Li Jiu Feng nodded thoughtfully.
The Sacred Beast Qilin, listening to the conversation, spoke up: "Logically, if the Heavenly Dao in the dimensional battlefield had problems, the many powerful experts here should have noticed it by now. Why is it that the Hundred Clans still believe in the Heavenly Dao Golden List and actively participate in the Hundred Clans Battle?"
Tai Yuan Immortal was stumped by this, murmuring to himself, "You have a point. If the Heavenly Dao is flawed, those at the peak of the dimensional battlefield should be able to see it. Yet, no one has said anything. Could it be that I was wrong? Could the Heavenly Dao actually be fine?"
The Sacred Beast Qilin's words made Tai Yuan Immortal fall into deep doubt.
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Li Jiu Feng shook his head. "No, I believe you. You haven't made a mistake. There's another possibility."
Tai Yuan Immortal had the memories of the Tai Yuan Immortal Emperor, and based on them, he deduced that the Heavenly Dao was flawed, so Li Jiu Feng naturally believed him.
Besides, earlier, the Heavenly Dao couldn't even scan a replica of the Tai Yuan Immortal Mansion. It was far too ineffective.
"What possibility?" the Sacred Beast Qilin asked curiously.
"What if those at the peak of the dimensional battlefield did realize the Heavenly Dao had a problem, but chose not to speak out?" Li Jiu Feng suggested.
"Why would they do that?" the Sacred Beast Qilin asked, confused.
Li Jiu Feng shook his head. "Who knows what they're thinking?"
"Thinking too much won't help. We should enter the ancient battlefield of the Hundred Clans first and investigate carefully. If the Heavenly Dao is flawed, there will definitely be clues," Tai Yuan Immortal said.
Li Jiu Feng nodded and then looked up at the brilliant Heavenly Dao Golden List with narrowed eyes.
At this moment, the Painted Skin Scholar suddenly said, "Li Jiu Feng, we're about to enter the ancient battlefield. Be careful and don't take any risks."
Li Jiu Feng felt a tightening in his chest and nodded seriously. The random teleportation was indeed tricky; he had to be cautious.
"I'll be careful. Don't worry, I'll protect myself," Li Jiu Feng said firmly. He had already decided that once he entered the ancient battlefield, he would hide in the Tai Yuan Immortal Mansion, then enter his own inner realm. This dual protection would ensure that no one in the Heavenly Realm could find him.
Sword God Emperor Liu smiled and glanced at Li Jiu Feng. He knew that Li Jiu Feng had the Tai Yuan Immortal Mansion, so he wasn't too worried about Li Jiu Feng's safety.
As they were talking, the Heavenly Dao Golden List trembled. Then, a series of tangible waves of energy radiated outward, enveloping everyone in the area.
These tangible waves of energy contained countless runes and array patterns that intertwined to form a perfect formation.
"This is a large-scale teleportation formation. It can send tens of thousands of people to another world in an instant. It's very powerful. Don't struggle or resist. We'll be entering the ancient battlefield soon," the Painted Skin Scholar explained.
Li Jiu Feng nodded obediently. He didn't resist, instead carefully studying the runes, array patterns, and the arrangement of the Dao in the teleportation formation.
Because the energy was now tangible, Li Jiu Feng could see everything clearly. He couldn't help but use a thread of the Dao of Time.
In the span of a moment, the difference between the two realms became vast.
Li Jiu Feng focused all his attention, carefully observing and comprehending.
The runes, array patterns, and strands of Dao revealed themselves to him, and he memorized them all.
He noticed that the entire space seemed to tremble as if it was about to split in two, and the whole area would be transported away.
Li Jiu Feng knew that this was the large-scale teleportation formation activating, moving the entire space to another location.
As he watched, a line of text appeared in front of him:
"By carefully observing, you have discovered the patterns of space fluctuations. Your perception has been activated, and you have comprehended Space Segmentation."
Li Jiu Feng stared in surprise. He hadn't expected to gain a new insight and had once again comprehended a new Dao of Space.
Previously, with the help of the Sacred Beast Qilin's innate divine abilities, he had understood small-scale space transfer. Now, he had comprehended Space Segmentation.
The next moment, the line of text flowed into his consciousness.
He gradually understood the power of Space Segmentation.
By splitting a space into two, you would tear apart the space and separate it. The tension between the two spaces could directly sever your body or your soul.
This was an offensive Dao of Space.
It was incredibly powerful, and it was perfect for Li Jiu Feng's current situation.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just as Li Jiu Feng comprehended Space Segmentation, the entire world seemed to be yanked away by the Heavenly Dao Golden List. A terrifying wave of teleportation energy spread in all directions. In the next moment, Li Jiu Feng felt everything around him go dark, and he was spun around, unsure of where he had been sent.
In less than a second, a massive wave of spiritual energy hit him, far more intense than anything in the dimensional battlefield.
It was like falling from a pond into the ocean.
Li Jiu Feng quickly opened his eyes and found himself no longer in the Sacred Angel Clan's ancestral land. Instead, he was in a desolate region. The distant mountains were dark and gloomy, with clouds blocking the sun. The earth was cracked and shattered into irregular lines.
The air was filled with the scent of post-battle smoke.
This was the ancient battlefield.
Li Jiu Feng immediately opened the Tai Yuan Immortal Mansion and entered it, disappearing from his original position. He then opened his inner realm and entered it as well, observing the outside world with peace of mind.
The Sacred Beast Qilin and Tai Yuan Immortal also followed into the inner realm.
"Do you really need to be this cautious?" the Sacred Beast Qilin asked, confused. He felt that entering the Tai Yuan Immortal Mansion would be enough.
Li Jiu Feng was about to speak when, in the next instant, a dozen terrifying soul fluctuations scanned the area.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the dozen or so soul fluctuations exclusive to the Immortal Realm slammed into the area like sharp blades, slicing everything in their path into pieces.
The Sacred Beast Qilin stood stunned, unable to react.
