Chapter 703 - The Real Myriad Of Techniques (1/2)
”Wow… Just how massive is this place? I cannot even see the end of the room from here!” Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.
”Can you even call this a 'room'? There's a clear sky as the ceiling!” Chu Liuxiang said as she stared at the sky above them.
”That's not a real sky. It's only an illusion created by the formation.” Feng Yuxiang said.
”What's the point of that?”
”For the atmosphere, I guess.”
”There's also a lot more people on this floor.” Yuan said.
”How does one find the cultivation techniques they are looking for in this vast place? It would take days if not longer to check every shelf in here.”
Just as Yuan asked that question, he noticed that not far away from them, there was a stall with the sign 'Customer Support' written on it.
”Nevermind. Let's go over there.”
”Hello, how may I help you?” The woman working the desk greeted them when they got close.
”Hello, I am wondering if there's a map or something that could help us navigate this place.” Yuan asked her.
”This must be your first time here. Give me a second.”
The woman reached under her desk and retrieved a jade slip before handing it to him.
”You will have all the information you need inside. If you're looking for a certain cultivation technique or a certain category, it's all there.”
”Thank you.” Yuan accepted the jade slip.
”There's something else you should know about this place.” The woman continued.
”Looking at the place now, you might be thinking that this place is massive, but that's not entirely correct.”
”What do you mean?”
”The Myriad of Techniques itself is actually a formation, so what you're seeing isn't always the truth. Look in that direction.” The woman pointed north.
”Do you see that stall all the way in the distance?”
”Yes, I see it.”
”Well, all the cultivation techniques from here to there are unique, but once you reach that stall, the cultivation techniques will be the same.”
”Huh?” Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
”Although you cannot see it, there's actually a wall that separates us. We're essentially inside a giant invisible box, and this invisible box is separated by hundreds of smaller invisible boxes, and inside each box is technically a store of its own, but it contains the same cultivation techniques as every other box.”
”That's…” Yuan was speechless by this complex information.
”I know it's a lot to take in and understand. In simpler terms, we're currently inside a massive store that has many smaller stores in it, and each of these stores contain the same content. It's so the store doesn't become too crowded.”
”Wow, that sounds like how parallel universes would work. We're currently in one store, but there are many other stores exactly like this one, and it's all in the same place. Can we go to the other stores from here?” Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.
”Yes, but there's really no point, since you won't find anything new there.” The woman nodded.
”How do you decide which room the customer goes to? Is it random?” Yuan then asked.
”Not exactly. It will depend on your destiny and where you entered the store from,” she said.
