Chapter 699: The Slowness of Light
"Don't you think the speed of light is too slow?" Bai Mo suddenly retorted to Xu Xuanling.
At this moment, Bai Mo, who was entrenched on the Sun, his volume had actually exceeded the sum of three Earths. At this point, he increasingly felt the shackles of the speed of light.
The control over power for Immortals still had the speed of light as its upper limit. Only the Ghost Immortal path could bypass the speed of light's restriction, controlling projected avatars over vast distances without delay.
Although the speed of light, on a single planetary scale, might be an almost invincible force, in battles set against the backdrop of the universe, with galaxies as the unit of measurement, it appeared far too slow.
If he hadn't concurrently cultivated the Ghost Immortal path, indirectly bypassing the speed of light limitation, then with his massive volume, it would take nearly 0.1 seconds for him to initiate an attack from his body's surface after conceiving the thought.
For Immortal-level combat, a delay of 0.1 seconds was already an intolerably large number.
"What?!"
"How much delay will there be for this avatar of yours to transmit information back to your main body?"
"About five seconds."
The "distance" between different spatial layers is difficult to describe directly using "length," because there are no stable measuring tools. The deeper a cultivator's understanding of space, the less time it takes to travel through it.
For instance, the first time Bai Mo departed from Earth to attempt a journey to the Manghuang Realm, he spent several months, off and on, stopping and going.
Decades ago, when he brought Yue Yu to the Manghuang Realm again, he spent about two days.
Now, with just a thought, Bai Mo's power could travel from the Water Blue Star spatial layer to the Sun.
"The Xuanxuan Family, after all, has spatial abilities etched into their bloodline." Xu Xuanling recalled past events, remembering Bai Mo transmigrating into the child of that heartless person when he underwent the Reincarnation Tribulation.
Back then, she found it hard to understand why that child possessed such monstrous talent. Now, she had long since found peace with it.
The essence of an Immortal was there, incomparable. If she were to undergo the tribulation once more, her reborn cultivation talent would likely also be at a genius level.
......
"The Celestial Immortal path emphasizes diversified Spirit Arts, suitable for survival in various environments. The talent for cultivating Spirit Arts after reincarnation also far surpasses ordinary mortals, greatly increasing the probability of survival.
The Earth Immortal path transforms one's body into a civilization, achieving a collective consciousness. The path of deducing through gathered hearts is unparalleled, and the reborn vessel's intelligence and strategy are
The Martial Path Human Immortal emphasizes will; those with strong will are more likely to awaken from reincarnation.
The Divine Immortal path involves constant struggle with faith, stressing the importance of upholding one's true self within faith, and not becoming a puppet of belief. In a sense, it's equivalent to constantly resisting Daoization interference.
The Ghost Immortal path, on the other hand, allows cultivators to project their power free from the shackles of the speed of light......"
Above the Sun, after Bai Mo summarized the Five Immortal Paths (Celestial, Earth, Human, Divine, Ghost) that he concurrently cultivated, a thought suddenly sparked in his mind.
"Will it be that only by cultivating all Five Paths concurrently, with no more shortcomings, will one have the chance to pass the increasingly difficult Reincarnation Tribulation?"
He didn't know.
The current samples were still too few.
......
"The door is opening!"
At this moment, the treasure hunters gathered within the Manghuang Realm's secret icy mountain, all stared with extreme tension at the door located atop the altar.
Twenty minutes ago, trapped within the icy mountain, they were informed by a mysterious voice that they needed to participate in something called the Cycle of Reincarnation Game.
Although many were unwilling in their hearts, at this point, there was no retreat. They began to regret why they hadn't quit while they were ahead, and instead actively jumped in.
The blood-red tally mark wounds on Qing Zixin's body had already begun to scab over. She uneasily looked at the door in the center of the cave altar, having a strong premonition that something filled with evil was about to emerge from within.
"They're coming out, they're coming out! That's the opportunity to become an Immortal!" The white-haired brawny man, who had been raving mad, had a completely different reaction.
"What opportunity to become an Immortal?"
The brawny man's words instantly drew the attention of all the treasure hunters.
"Shhh." He made a silencing gesture.
"Just being mysterious."
"Don't speak, use the muscles you just gained to feel it." He flexed his powerful biceps. A golden light continuously emanated from his upper arms, making them appear as if coated in a dense golden film.
Subsequently, from within the altar door, a faint, fine golden-yellow power began to enter the white-haired brawny man's body.
The originally raving mad white-haired brawny man, after the golden-yellow power entered his body, uncharacteristically revealed an expression of pleasure and contentment.
There weren't many fools among those who could make it into the icy mountain. They quickly figured out the reason and one by one, began to imitate the actions.
As long as one cultivated the recently acquired cultivation method inside the cave, they could gain power from beyond the door!
As for that Cycle of Reincarnation Game, forget it! Nothing was as important as him getting stronger.
"Uncle An, they are..."
"They're using the resonance between the cultivation method and the entity behind the door to gain power through empowerment. At his speed, one day's cultivation gains are equivalent to three years of arduous cultivation for an ordinary person," the old servant said coldly.
"Then us..." The silver-robed girl was greatly tempted. One day was three years! If she stayed in this place for a few days, becoming a top expert on the Human List would definitely be within her grasp.
"Things that aren't yours, if you take them, you will always have to pay a price." The old servant clearly saw through it all.
All along the way, he hadn't comprehended any cultivation methods, only wholeheartedly escorting and protecting the other party.
"But..." Despite Uncle An, seasoned in the jianghu, trying to dissuade her like this, the silver-robed girl still found it hard to resist, because she saw that the silver-robed youth who had entered with her had already joined the ranks of the absorbers.
That was a visible increase in strength!
"Never mind! How can a great opportunity be without risks or dangers!" That young, restless heart ultimately failed to resist the temptation.
"Phoenix Prairies Ablaze!" A miniature golden-red firebird danced between her palms.
This was a move she had comprehended outside the icy mountain. It allowed her to create a firebird that she could control within a hundred li. It attacked enemies by self-detonating, somewhat similar to a guided missile.
The old man looked at the eager young girl and let out a soft sigh. But he didn't stop her. This was her choice, following her true heart, and he had no reason to interfere further.
He was old after all. He no longer had the ruthless drive of his youth, where he would do anything to become stronger.
"Times have changed. The new generation of young people no longer harbors that deep-seated hatred for demonic entities." Elder An could naturally sense a strong "flavor" of demonic evil within that power, but perhaps only he was left to care about those outdated notions from decades ago.
"Can you win?" Bai Mo, high above the Sun, his gaze pierced through layers of obstacles, looking towards the Manghuang Realm.
The vessel that Yi was to be reborn into, was precisely this group of mortal cultivators who were recklessly absorbing his power.
From the very beginning, Bai Mo had made thorough preparations to send it into reincarnation and rebirth as a human.
