Li Ling didn't speak. He squatted down and reached out his finger to touch the potion on the ground. It was as if Li Ling's finger had turned into a sponge, and the potion he touched disappeared in an instant.
"Huh?" Gu Ziyun saw this amazing scene and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
As the medicine wore off, a hint of joy appeared on Li Ling's face.
Just as he approached the potion, the World Seed in Li Ling's mind trembled slightly. Li Ling had experience with this before; it meant that the World Seed had discovered something that could help it grow.
"Could it be that this potion contains enormous energy?" Li Ling murmured.
He had learned from his previous communication with the system that the world seed needed to absorb energy and laws from all the heavens to grow. This potion couldn't be a law, so it could only contain enormous energy.
It's not impossible, since this drug involves the field of brain development, it's only natural that it contains enormous energy.
Having discovered this, Li Ling tried to let the World Seed absorb the potion. Unexpectedly, it worked. From the information fed back by the World Seed, Li Ling understood that after absorbing the energy of these worlds, the World Seed would grow into a real world with just a little more effort.
Li Ling looked delighted and said to Gu Ziyun, "Ziyun, let's find the remaining potion first, and then I'll explain to you."
Gu Ziyun nodded, indicating that she could.
After searching for a while, the two found the remaining medicine in the laboratory safe.
Li Ling opened the potion, which contained ten vials. He kept two for himself and handed them to Gu Ziyun, saying, "Ziyun, keep these two for you just in case. I'm going to use the rest now. If the results are good, they might be able to completely cure your headache."
Gu Ziyun took the two potions from Li Ling and then looked curiously at what Li Ling was going to do.
Li Ling took out a vial, broke off one end of the seal, and this time his palm didn't even touch the vial, and the vial gradually decreased in quantity.
Gu Ziyun watched this scene in surprise, but did not disturb Li Ling's work. Li Ling had said that he would tell her when it was finished.
As Li Ling operated the system step by step, when the World Seed absorbed the seventh vial of potion, a loud 'boom' sounded in Li Ling's mind. Li Ling's vision went black, and when he opened his eyes, it was as if he was in another space.
Looking at the chaotic space around him, Li Ling was floating in the space. At the center of the space, a gray bead was spinning continuously. As soon as a message came from the gray bead, Li Ling was invigorated after receiving the message.
The place I am in now is my own sea of consciousness, and the gray bead in front of me is the world seed. No, it shouldn't be called the world seed anymore; it should be called a 'small world'.
After Li Ling traversed multiple worlds, the World Seed absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time, and with the energy from the recently absorbed potion, a space was finally opened up within the World Seed.
Li Ling looked at himself. He was now in his conscious form, still dressed in the same clothes as his real-world self: black trousers and bare-chested. This was probably due to his subconscious thoughts, so his current attire was the same as his external self.
With a thought, Li Ling imagined himself wearing casual clothes, and in an instant, the clothes on Li Ling's body changed, becoming the casual clothes he had imagined.
"Hehe, in the consciousness space, it's practically a matter of wish fulfillment, but it's ultimately just a fantasy," Li Ling murmured.
Then, without further thought, Li Ling connected his consciousness to this 'small world', and with a whoosh, his consciousness transformed into a torrent and entered the small world.
Li Ling appeared in a place with a diameter of only three meters. Li Ling looked around and saw that he was standing on a piece of land. The surroundings were all gray. When he reached the edge of the land, Li Ling reached out and touched the gray surroundings. When his palm touched it, it was as if he had touched an invisible barrier.
Li Ling communicated with the small world and learned that this world had just been created and currently only had a space of a dozen cubic meters.
Li Ling nodded, not minding the small size. After all, the world had just been created and would continue to grow. Li Ling looked at the space and suddenly thought of something. He quickly tried to communicate with the system. Li Ling originally thought that the system was also in his sea of consciousness, but just now he only saw this small world in his sea of consciousness. It seems that the system is hidden very well.
Li Ling asked, "System, can I use the space of a small world to store people and matter, whether it's the real world or a world I've traveled to, right?"
"Ding." The system voice came and said, "Yes, the small world can hold anything that does not exceed the volume of the world space."
Li Ling asked in surprise, "System, my consciousness is currently in the small world of my sea of consciousness, how can I still communicate with you?"
The system replied: "The system is bound to the host's soul. No matter what state the host is in, he can communicate freely with this system."
Li Ling nodded and murmured, "If a small world can hold people, then could it also..."
Looking at the space of this world again, Li Ling suddenly thought, "It's not good to always call this world 'small world,' so why not call it 'Qiankun World'?"
"Hmm, that's a good name."
As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in the space. Li Ling looked at the source of the light and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
The light just now emanated from the center of the ground.
Li Ling crouched down to look and saw a very small tree on the ground. Let's just call it a tree for now. The tree was only the size of a grain of rice. It was so small that Li Ling hadn't noticed it when he entered this world.
The tree was too small, so Li Ling simply lay down on the ground to observe it carefully; the small tree was lush and green.
Although the sapling is tiny, upon closer inspection, every branch and leaf is incredibly delicate, just like the large trees we see every day. The only difference is that it is countless times smaller than a normal large tree.
Moreover, the characters '乾坤' (Qiankun) are inscribed on the tree trunk.
Li Ling reached out and touched the sapling. The instant he made contact, he learned about the tree.
This emerald green sapling is called the 'World Tree'. It is a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao of this world. The World Tree received the name as soon as Li Ling named it, and then the two characters 'Qiankun' appeared on its trunk.
The World Tree is the manifestation of the laws of the Qiankun World. It grows along with the Qiankun World and needs to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and the laws of the Great Dao from all the worlds. The Great Dao has three thousand laws, and correspondingly, the World Tree has three thousand branches.
The three thousand branches also have leaves imprinted with the laws. Because the World Tree has not yet absorbed the laws, it does not yet possess much power and is currently like a tender sprout that has just broken through the soil.
Only after the World Tree absorbs all three thousand laws of the Great Dao can it be considered truly complete.
Li Ling couldn't help but marvel, then, recalling the energy that the Qiankun World routinely fed back to him, he asked the system, "System, what does the Qiankun World give me in return when it absorbs the laws and energy of heaven and earth?"
The system replied: "Ding, the Qiankun World absorbs energy, a portion of which helps the Qiankun World grow, and then feeds it back to the host's 'World Essence' to help the host grow."
In the future, if the host gains access to the laws, the Qiankun World, after absorbing and perfecting its own world laws, will also feed back its insights into the laws to the host.
"Since the host obtained it when the Qiankun World was still a world seed, it has become an integral part of the Qiankun World. The prosperity and decline of one are the same as the prosperity and decline of the other. Therefore, the growth of the Qiankun World will also drive the growth of the host."
"In the early stages, the host needs energy to grow. Once the host reaches a certain level, he must comprehend the laws of the Great Dao to continue growing."
Li Ling nodded as if he understood, and said, "Could you explain the details and laws of cultivation?"
