Chapter 287 - Alternate Method Of Using The Ring's Skills
Lin Mu’s vision suddenly changed, and he felt as if everything had turned black and white. He looked around and could see that all the things were in different shapes. Some things were blurry while others were distorted. He could also see some black dots that he knew were flaws in the fabric of space and that they lead to the lesser void.
While it seemed like a while had passed to Lin Mu, in reality only a mere second had passed. In the next instant, everything turned back to normal and Lin Mu could see in color again.
"Huh, what was that?" Lin Mu said.
"So what did you experience?" Xukong asked.
Xukong himself didn’t know what kind of effect Lin Mu using spatial attribute qi directly would have on the skills. But he could guess a few things and wondered if that was actually what Lin Mu experienced.
"It was strange... everything turned black and white. The time also seemed to be... slow for some reason. The objects were not exactly correct either." Lin Mu recalled.
"Seems like you were able to get spatial perception when you used the skill with the spatial attribute qi. That black and white color was due to your proficiency in it being less. Also, that feeling of time slowing down, that was an illusion or rather a misperception. That happens when a cultivator newly starts using spatial perception.
If you actually tried to move, you would realize that you would be moving at the same speed as before and that time wasn’t actually slowed down. And as for the objects not being correct, I believe that was because of them being occluded by spatial distortions or the flowing space." Xukong explained.
"I understand senior." Lin Mu said before thinking of using another skill.
Lin Mu took another small part of the spirit qi cloud and this time used it to power the second skill ’blink’. He already had an intention of where he wanted to move, thus had no problems.
~Huu~
He took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He then moved near some trees as the main effect of the skill was to allow him to walk through the physical objects, or rather pass through them. He activated the skill and saw his vision change again.
Lin Mu immediately walked through the trees and did not feel much of a difference. He immediately stopped the skill and checked the usage.
~Sigh~
"As I expected, it was rather large."
The size of the cloud had been reduced by a further twenty percent when he used ’Phase’. While it was not exactly equivalent to that of the spirit qi wisps, it was still quite a lot considering that he had a limited amount of spatial attribute qi.
In total, he had used up about twenty six percent of the spatial qi cloud, reducing its size to slightly less than three-quarters of its original volume.
"Senior, how can I obtain more spatial qi? I know that I can get it from the materials that contain it, but that would be quite difficult no?" Lin Mu asked.
"Well, spatial qi is actually one of the most abundant types of qis in the cosmos. It is everywhere, it’s just that most people or rather cultivators cannot sense it. Controlling it is even more difficult which leads to them thinking that it is hard to find. It is just that there are quite limited materials that naturally contain spatial qi." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu thought over his words for a bit before realizing something.
"Then doesn’t this mean that as long as one can sense and control the spatial qi they can directly imbue it into materials?" Lin Mu asked.
"Exactly. How else do you think spatial storage tools are made in the higher leveled worlds?"
