The chill from the Spiral ke Crystal constantly entered Lin Mu''s hands, making them tremble lightly.
He circted his Qi and vitality, in his hands making the cold feel much less apparent. Lin Mu knew that if he didn''t get used to the cold first, it would distract himter when he tried to peer into the secrets of the Spiral ke Crystal.
Thus for the first hour, he simply let his body adapt to the coldness of the Spiral ke Crystal. Thankfully, with his strong physique, it didn''t take long. He could even modte it further by letting some fire elemental Qi circte in his body.
Having done this, he managed to reach a point of equilibrium and decided to proceed.
''Let''s see what it truly holds…'' Lin Mu closed his eyes and chanted the calming heart sutra.
Then a few secondster, his immortal sense rose from his head and entered the Spiral ke Crystal.
Lin Mu felt like he was pulled into a vortex of some kind and felt his mind spin. But he didn''t let that make him waver and continued to focus. A few minutester, he felt like he could stabilize himself.
And when he did, he discovered something bigger.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
''This… there''s arge space in the Spiral ke Crystal?'' Lin Mu was surprised.
Lin Mu didn''t know how he had not sensed it before. But it also made him understand why Senior Xukong wanted him to obtain it.
"No wonder… this Spiral ke Crystal has a natural space within it… but at the same time, it''s different." Lin Mu let his perception wander in the empty space.
At first, he felt like it was a more isted form of spatial division. But after some time passed, he realized something else.
"Wait a second… this isn''t the void… it isn''t the minor void." Lin Mu''s brows furrowed, finding it to be stranger and stranger.
The characteristics of the minor void were not present in his space.
''This is ce is… nk.'' Lin Mu couldn''t feel any energy fluctuations, or interference here.
It was as if this was a ce where nothing existed.
If it weren''t for the fact that Lin Mu knew he was just seeing this with his immortal sense, he would have been convinced that he was hallucinating a ce like this.
''With such a new form of space, I should be able to learn some new things.'' Lin Mu reckoned this was the reason why Xukong had asked him to get the Spiral ke Crystal.
It had mysteries that could not be seen easily, and he couldn''t use his normal methods of probing it either. Lin Mu had used his Spatial perception before, but it only made the Spiral ke Crystal look like a glowing dot.
He still couldn''t sense the insides of the crystal with that method.
Lin Mu could only let his immortal sense wander inside the crystal and explore it. Hours passed like this and Lin Mu didn''t find anything.
''This is getting exhausting… I can feel my mind tiring…'' It was unusual for Lin Mu to get tired this quickly.
He had worked on formations and arrays for over a month non stop and was still fine. Thus it was surprising to him that he was tired already. Especially since his spirit sense had already been converted into the Immortal sense.<sub> </sub>
Normally speaking, he shouldn''t be tired even if he continued to observe for weeks on end.
But after a minute or so, Lin Mu realized that it might be due to the ce he was in.
"Is this the characteristic of the Spiral ke Crystal, perhaps?" Lin Mu guessed.
He didn''t know how or why it could cause something like this, but he did know that it wasn''t a big issue. As long as he rested for a bit, he should recover to his normal state.
Having understood this, Lin Mu decided to be done for now.
~shua~
He withdrew his immortal sense and opened his eyes. They flickered lightly as they gazed at the Spiral ke Crystal that was held in his two hands.
~huu~
"That was a different experience for sure…" Lin Mu let out a long breath.
"Looks like you''ve seen the secret of the Spiral ke Crystal now." Xukong''s voice was finally heard.
"I did senior… I never thought there would be a space like this in the Spiral ke Crystal." Lin Mu replied in surprise. "How is there a space that is not of the void?" he couldn''t help but question.
"This is one of the reasons why I wanted you to get this. The Spiral ke Crystal is one of the few materials in the universe that can naturally form an independent space. This space isn''t linked to any of the voids and is also invisible to most people.
Even people with Spatial Perception are unable to sense its presence and to them, the Spiral ke Crystal appeared like a shining stone." Xukong answered.
"But what am I supposed to do with it? Just observer it? I didn''t find anything to observe inside it." Lin Mu asked next.
"That is right. You just observe it and spend your time inside it. The Space inside it has different characteristics than the void and will actually help you hone your spatial perception." Xukong revealed.
"Hone my Spatial Perception?!" Lin Mu said in shock. "Really?" he couldn''t help but doubt it for a second.
"Indeed. Why don''t you try to see now?" Xukong confirmed. "Even if it was just your first time with the Spiral ke Crystal, there should still be some level of improvement." He suggested.
"Alright." Lin Mu nodded his head before closing his eyes.
He activated his Spatial perception and opened his eyes. They had a faint silver outline around them that was hard to see. If one didn''t stand close to Lin Mu, they wouldn''t even know there was a change in his eyes.
But to Lin Mu, the change was visible.
"This… I can see the Spatial Fabric in higher detail!"
