Chapter 1101: Chapter 592: Deep Space Sea Training Ends, The Biggest Winner! (2)

But now it seems, even if they really did it, it doesn’t seem to be just because they want to see a chaotic universe.

They are profiting from it, only they don’t know what the profit is.

Until just now, the image Jiang Shu saw seemed to have given him some hint.

After Zhan Feng left, Jiang Shu stood alone at the edge of the Silent Abyss, lightly rubbing the patterns on the Desolate Star Halberd, his eyes flickering.

The space fragments floating in the abyss refracted colorful lights on his chiseled face, as if stars were swirling in his deep eyes.

"Zhan Yun."

Jiang Shu suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the silent abyss.

A woman in light armor stepped forward and asked, "Brother Jiang, is there something you need?"

Unlike Zhan Feng’s easygoing nature, she keenly sensed the anomaly in Jiang Shu’s tone.

Jiang Shu turned around, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Those supreme geniuses who died at the hands of the Doomsday Sect, where are their bodies now?"

Hearing this question, Zhan Yun’s brow furrowed slightly, then she said, "Just a few days ago, a Venerable opened a spatial passage and took out the bodies of the supreme geniuses who died in the Deep Space Sea and the ancient monsters."

"By convention, about seventy to eighty percent of them should have been buried by now, the rest depends on the plans of various races."

"Brother Jiang, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhan Yun knew Jiang Shu wouldn’t ask without reason, so she dared not guarantee anything, only giving a conservative probability.

"Buried..."

Jiang Shu repeated in a low voice, his gaze directed towards the distorted space in the distance.

The Heart of Space within his dantian trembled slightly, as if echoing his thoughts, confirming again, "Are you sure they’re all buried?"

Zhan Yun didn’t know what Jiang Shu had thought of, but she knew if he confirmed repeatedly, it must be something significant, so her expression became serious, nodding, "At least the three bodies retrieved by the War Alliance have been interred."

"As for other forces, it’s really difficult to tally."

"Jiang Shu, did you discover something?"

Jiang Shu just nodded, then he raised his hand, his fingertips condensed with a wisp of Taichu Dao Rhyme, sketching a complex rune in the air.

As the rune formed, the surrounding space rippled like water.

"My intuition tells me, there’s something wrong with those bodies."

Jiang Shu’s voice was deep and resolute.

"The Doomsday Sect went to such lengths to expose themselves and set up in the Eye of the Void, it’s impossible just for killing a few geniuses that simply."

A flicker of realization flashed in Zhan Yun’s eyes.

"You mean, they might have done something to the bodies?"

Jiang Shu nodded and said, "Both that Mechanical Array and the Heart of Space they used as bait are extremely precious things. If it was just to kill some people, the possibility is too small. They wouldn’t do a losing business like this."

Speaking, Jiang Shu put away the rune, turned to face Zhan Yun, and continued,

"Have the War Alliance keep an eye on those bodies, especially those that exhibited anomalies after burial."

Zhan Yun nodded solemnly, the silver armor reflecting cold light in the space turbulence.

"I will immediately notify the War Alliance and have them keep a constant watch."

"If things are as you expected, what should we do?"

Jiang Shu’s lips curled into a cold smile, the Desolate Star Halberd in his hand humming.

"Then the Doomsday Cult will truly have offended all the major forces, and it will be extremely difficult for them to make any significant moves in the Star Ruins Realm in the future."

...

In the Deep Space Sea, the most precious resources have been monopolized by Jiang Shu and other supreme geniuses, leaving only minor opportunities for others to scramble for. Jiang Shu did not waste time competing, instead staying in the Mirror Abyss to continue cultivating.

In the next month, Jiang Shu almost entirely immersed himself in the insight of space laws.

The special environment of the Mirror Abyss and the essence of the Great Void Heart Scripture mutually corroborated, allowing his attainments in space law to advance at an astonishing pace.

Jiang Shu sat cross-legged on a floating boulder, surrounded by countless tiny cracks in space.

As he willed, these cracks intertwined and entwined like living creatures, forming a semi-transparent shield before him.

The surface of the shield shimmered with strange patterns, each one resembling a miniature spatial passage, capable of dispersing incoming attacks to different locations, significantly weakening the offensive.

This defensive technique is something all Venerables who have comprehended space law can deploy, essentially a highly practical little trick.

Innovations in techniques stem from a solid foundation, and without foundation, so-called innovations become castles in the air.

"Mirror Image Clone!"

Jiang Shu suddenly opened his eyes, his hands forming seals. The space rippled like water, and another "Jiang Shu" separated from his body, identical in aura and cultivation fluctuation as the original.

The two Jiang Shu’s exchanged a smile, simultaneously raising their hands to unleash a space blade, only to dissipate upon action.

"My mastery of space could be said to have entered a profound level."

"But this kind of duplication technique is not yet fully comprehended."

Jiang Shu frowned in contemplation, somewhat dissatisfied.

The mirror image, although perfect, only existed for the time of three breaths.

He needed to understand the essence of spatial duplication more deeply.

The Heart of Space within his dantian pulsed, transmitting an obscure message.

Jiang Shu realized something, attempting again.

This time, the mirror image lasted for ten breaths and could independently perform simple space techniques before dissipating.

"So that’s it, a Space Mirror Image is not a simple duplication, but briefly opening a parallel existence."

Jiang Shu’s eyes shone with insight, deepening his understanding of space law.

The Heart of Space indeed is the supreme treasure for comprehending space laws, but Jiang Shu was more focused on its ability to provide enlightening suggestions based on his current comprehension obstacles, which is most invaluable.

"Is this really just a supreme treasure?"

"Or could it be an inheritance, perhaps even a life form?"

Just as he was about to continue his insights, a communication talisman broke through the air, carrying the voice of Yu Tianming.

"Your Highness, the Deep Space Sea is about to close, and all major forces have begun to withdraw."

Jiang Shu put away his cultivation technique, rising to his feet.

A month of rigorous cultivation had made his presence more composed, each gesture and action harmonizing with the space around him.

The Desolate Star Halberd seemed to resonate with its master’s change, quivering excitedly.

"It’s time to leave."

Jiang Shu looked towards the depths of the abyss, where more secrets awaited exploration, but more urgent matters needed addressing.

At the Deep Space Sea’s exit, cultivators of various races emerged from the space vortex.

Unlike previous trials, there were no cheers, no celebrations, only silence and grief.

The Doomsday Sect’s conspiracy had caused hundreds of geniuses to remain forever in the Eye of the Void, including key successors from major forces.

"Look, it’s Jiang Shu!"

Someone shouted from the crowd, and all eyes focused on the figure walking out of the vortex at a leisurely pace.

Jiang Shu, in a plain green robe, carrying the Desolate Star Halberd, looked ordinary yet exuded a peculiar presence that seemed detached from the surrounding space.

It was as if he stood there, yet appeared to exist simultaneously in multiple locations.

"The greatest opportunity in this Deep Space Sea fell to Jiang Shu! The Heart of Space, even some Venerables could greatly enhance their strength upon acquiring it."

"From his demeanor, Jiang Shu’s comprehension of space law has certainly surpassed his peers, the Realm of Venerable is within reach."

"Even with the Heart of Space, such progress is terrifying, the War Alliance and Jiuyu Commerce Alliance have struck it rich this time."

Whispers spread among the crowd, including powerful figures from the Venerable Realm.

Despite the disruptions caused by the Doomsday Sect, officially there was no ranking for this Deep Space Sea trial, but everyone was well aware.

Jiang Shu was indeed the biggest winner of this Deep Space Sea trial!
