Chapter 743: Figuring Out the Fist Intent

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

When Zhou Bao transferred the last Natal Sword to the Dragon Chimera incarnation, he felt a shock in his head and it felt as if his whole body was being released from a bind. He was a lot more relaxed. The Flower of the Spirit inside the Sea of Consciousness started to spin round and round. Even though it did not evolve, it was permeated with a lively spirit that had not been there before.

“No way! It turns out it was the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword that was preventing my mental state from growing all along! If I had not chucked it out today, it would have become the biggest obstacle to my future cultivation. F*ck!” He swore quietly as he finally understood what was going on. Since his future path was already decided, he had to press ahead boldly and sweep aside all the obstacles in front of him, whether they came from himself or the people around him.

“In the past, I only had to use my fist to solve problems, what if I do that now?” Zhou Bao pondered, narrowing his eyes. He suddenly clenched his teeth and took out his two small jade hammers and threw them into the Furnace of Immortality. “Look! Look at my Extreme Realm of Force, will I finally reach the end of my path with the crushing vacuum?” He assumed a fighting stance and launched his fist intent. The fist intent of the simulated universe suddenly shrouded thousands of kilometers of hollow. He began to practice with his fists and feet, apprehending and initiating various changes.

“That’s right, changes!”

While practicing his strikes, he suddenly realized a huge problem.

There were changes in his punching skill.

With the upgrade in his punching skill, his punching intention was refined. The two were inseparably linked. The changes in his punching moves also changed his punching intention. In the simulated universe, he subconsciously understood that his punching intention was too big, but it was not clear what the implications of this were.

He had been a professor of Chinese in his past life, not a professor of astronomy. His understanding of the universe was limited, mainly coming from popular science movies and the science magazine he subscribed to for one year in the fifth grade. He did not have a deep understanding of the universe, which undoubtedly limited the development of his fist intent.

“I can’t go back to the previous universe, but this Void Universe is somewhat similar. There are a few galaxies, some similar Star Areas. They cannot be that different. The Void Universe has a few peculiarities, but it should also be quite familiar. I cannot return, but I can cultivate myself here and explore, and look for the differences and similarities between the two universes. And I can see what useful objects I can bring into my Universe Fist Intent so I can mend it and perfect it!”

He straightened up and looked at the limitless empty space of the universe with a glint of determination in his eyes. “It doesn’t matter how many there are, this universe is for the experts. If the strength differs a tiny bit, the status differs a tremendous amount. The lives of the weak are decided by the experts. If they want to control their own lives, the best way is, of course, to let their strength stand on the very peak. Although I have a Supreme Fairy Weapon and Fate Creator status, my strength is still not enough. It is like duckweed in the water, it has not found its opponent. If I run into an adversary with the same Supreme Fairy Weapon, I could lose everything and be uprooted. I would have never met this kind of enemy in the past, but now the Heaven Realm World is facing the entire Void Universe. There is always someone stronger and I have to protect myself!”

It is said that those who do not consider the future will be faced with immediate concerns.

Before, Zhou Bao had been like a monkey relying on petty shrewdness and luck, declaring himself a king on a mountain without tigers. But the scope of this mountain turned out to be a lot larger, and not only included tigers, but also terrible creatures like lions, elephants, and dragons. In this situation, such a monkey would be reluctant to declare himself king. Instead, he had to think of every way possible to increase his own strength and become the tiger. This way he would not be the monkey declaring himself king in his own domain!

“That’s it! I will leave my incarnation in the Heaven Realm World. I will wander around in the hollow, looking to see if it can find an opportunity for a breakthrough in my punching skill and fist intent.”

It is said that walking a thousand kilometers is better than reading a thousand books. And so, he was going to walk a thousand kilometers.

The endless hollow was much larger than a macro world.

Zhou Bao had once calculated that the volume of a macro world was more than ten times the size of the Sun in his previous life, not counting the surrounding boundless spacetime. For someone with his current level of cultivation, this could be walked across within ten breaths. Beforehand, he was unable to traverse the extremely vast Sea Area. But after he obtained the Infinite Realms Teleportation, this distance was no problem at all, but only in the Heaven Realm World.

But he was no longer in the Heaven Realm World, he was in the endless hollow.

This time it really was endless. God knows how big the hollow actually was. It was like in his previous life when there was no way of knowing just how large the universe was.

The Black Pearl glided through the hollow at an extreme speed, sketching out a golden filament.

This was the 16th day of Zhou Bao’s departure from the Heaven Realm World. Going at the speed of a Supreme Fairy Weapon, for a long time, he did not know how far he had gone from the Heaven Realm World. He had left his Furnace of Immortality and Dragon Chimera incarnation in the Heaven Realm World, so if he wanted to, he could control anything there. But in the Heaven Realm World everything was going steadily without a hitch. He did not plan to return.

As for his Dragon Chimera incarnation, everything had been resolved. It had been announced in the Jilei Mountain that he had retired for ten years. Without his instruction no one could come near. The Heaven Realm World was also quiet.

Allegedly, the evening that His Majesty the Human Emperor and Yu Taixuan, the leader of Divine Wind Palace heard that it would be closed off for ten years, they both laughed and got drunk. Clearly, Zhou Bao did not enjoy popular support.

After leaving the Heaven Realm World, Zhou Bao sat on the front of the Black Pearl, aimlessly gliding through the endless hollow. He was looking for anything that could provide him with insight, but for 16 days all he could feel was emptiness, complete emptiness!

In the hollow, the thing that was most present was nothingness. Otherwise, why would it be called the hollow? It contained nothing inside, it was completely empty. In most places of the hollow, nothing existed. It was just a space full of emptiness, nothing more.

But Zhou Bao still benefitted from being there.

“The hollow is immeasurable. My fist intent is not yet as mighty as this immeasurable hollow!”

Feeling the vastness of the hollow and thinking of the tininess of his simulated Universe Fist Intent, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

He lamented, “I still need to come out and expand my horizons. If not, how will I understand my shortcomings? I thought that my fist intent was vast and boundless but traveling in this void I realize that my simulated universe is just a small puddle. How could it be compared to this vast and boundless Void Universe? In the end, one person can only have so much strength. Suppose that all practitioners are the same? An Earthly Immortal can only make a macro world from scratch, that is all. But in this Void Universe there could be limitless macro worlds. And even an Earthly Immortal can have a sense of powerlessness facing this vast Void Universe, that’s for sure.” He laughed. “And what of the Great Way of Heavens and Realms and the Infinite Realms Teleportation? Teleporting in the hollow is like an ant jumping about in a macro world. At the scale of the Void Universe it is meaningless. It is just an effective implement for the Transmitting Formation and the Supreme Fairy Weapon. They are only just capable of transporting people around the hollow, and even then, it is only possible to occupy a small part of the vast hollow.”

He came to a realization, and once again spurred on the Black Pearl under his feet. He began to tear through the hollow, traveling in an unknown direction.

His Black Pearl had already completed the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and could be considered a full Supreme Fairy Weapon. When operating at full power, it would conveniently emit thunder and lightning which split open countless layers of time wherever it was headed.

Boom!

It suddenly stopped. Zhou Bao had not expected this. It was like a train stopped by an emergency brake, it nearly threw him off.

“What happened?” He was highly cultivated and had great strength. When he steadied himself again he found that the Black Pearl seemed to have collided with something. In other words, it had entered into a hollow slightly different from the previous one.

“The Laws of Space here are hundreds of times stronger than those before. No wonder the Black Pearl had difficulty breaking through this space!” Zhou Bao settled down again. He scanned the area quickly before realizing what had happened. The Black Pearl had entered a strange area. In this area, the Laws of Space were much more refined than those in other places. The Black Pearl took too long to break into the hollow, and it had been traveling quickly. It was as if a high-speed train had collided with a world completely made up of water and could not move.

After thinking about this, Zhou Bao changed his plan slightly. He drove the Black Pearl a little more slowly and started to carefully examine the strange hollow around him.
