Regarding space, Zhang Yan first learned about it when he was preparing to refine storage instruments.
Nowadays, Zhang Yan is quite familiar with storage-type magic weapons. As long as they are not of the highest quality, such as rings and bracelets, he can get storage-type magic weapons such as boxes and cabinets at his fingertips.
Familiarity and improvement in the refining techniques of storage magic instruments will inevitably be accompanied by the mastery of space-related knowledge.
At least the basic concepts are already familiar to Zhang Yan.
For example, the "space" intercepted by the storage magic weapon actually belongs to the "space gap". Using the magic weapon to open and delineate part of the space gap forms the so-called "storage space".
Also located in the gap between spaces is the so-called "sacred area", which is a very dark place where ghosts gather. Because it is special and huge, it can only travel between the gap and the normal world through passages like the Dead Silence Road.
But in essence, the so-called sanctuary and storage space are the same. They all belong to the "space gap".
So since it is a crack, what kind of crack is it?
The explanation in the Taoist book is that "the space gap refers to the gap between normal space and void."
In other words, there is an equal existence outside the gap between normal space and space, which is "void".
There are many descriptions of void in Taoist books, but they are all very vain words, such as "hanging outside the Tao" or "a place where none of the five elements can enter" and so on.
To sum up, the void is very dangerous, and it belongs to a range that even the "Tao" cannot encompass. Ordinary monks cannot escape the end of their souls if they step into it. Not even "immortals" have the ability to step into the void.
In addition to the danger of the mystery of the void, another reason is that it is extremely difficult to break through the void. It is necessary to break down the barriers of normal space and penetrate the cracks in space before finally opening the door to the void. This must be done in one go. Any slack or weakness will be blocked by the space barrier.
"There will be nothing else in the gap in space, only the gap itself. So that kind of "black ice" can only come from the void?!"
Zhang Yan was startled by the thoughts in his mind. But although it is unbelievable, it still shows that his guess must be the truth.
He didn't dare to get close. He only dared to use his senses to test the crystal-like things that overflowed from the gap in space. Black ice, but not the slightest bit chilly.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhang Yan's perception did not detect any information from the "black ice". It even feels like an ordinary piece of stuff. It is no different from the earth and rocks at the bottom of this pit.
"That's not right!" Zhang Yan was convinced that this thing was not as simple as he perceived at the moment. He thought to himself that the perception and cognition of the Rock Rat Tribe were not as good as his back then. Seeing these surprising scenes, he would only feel that he had found the right location, and would have no idea of the dangers involved. That's why this "black ice" is brought from the underground to the surface...
Take it to the ground? !
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't think of any other way. Anyway, he didn't dare to touch the "black ice" in person. We can only learn from the previous demon clan Rock Rat clan, maybe moving this thing to the ground will change it. With the change, you should be able to detect how strange and dangerous this thing is.
Once you've made up your mind, don't hesitate. Zhang Yan used his magic power to cut and control a piece of earth and rock at the bottom of the pit, and then used this earth and rock to support the piece of "black ice". He did not use the five elements of earth to move it directly. Instead, he first opened a small path and then supported it. Move this thing from the small path to the ground.
This method seems to be a lot of trouble, but it can avoid contact with the "black ice" to the greatest extent. Contact with magic power is within the scope that Zhang Yan feels needs to be avoided. And his body always kept at least five feet away from that thing.
The moment he emerged from the ground and saw the light, an extremely dangerous instinctive reaction in Zhang Yan's perception instantly made him stand on his head with all the hair on his body. He quickly moved another five feet away, concentrating on sensing the piece that he had lifted out. Underground, it is now placed in a corner of a rocky beach with no one around.
"Will it really "melt"? Why does that thing give me the feeling that it seems to be eroding my soul?"
Zhang Yan was confused and a little nervous. After all, in his opinion, this thing came from the void that even ordinary immortals could not set foot on, and it made him instinctively feel that it was so dangerous, so it must not be a good thing.
Zhang Yan soon discovered that this thing was indeed not a good thing, because just when this "black ice" began to slowly "melt", all living creatures within a radius of ten feet of its location, including those living in the broken The small insects in the rocks and the grass and vegetation in the cracks of the rocks lost all vitality in just a few breaths and died immediately.
Not only that, as the piece of "black ice" began to "melt", it turned into an invisible thing and began to spread. The range it reached was finally fixed at a radius of five to six feet from the point of appearance. The farther away it was, it completely dissipated and could no longer be sensed. arrive. But what spreads will gradually dissipate. But what penetrates into the bodies of those bugs will maintain some kind of activity and will not disappear in a short time.
Zhang Yan could even feel that the things hidden in the insect corpses had become active and were deliberately testing his perception. Some of them would rush out as if they were desperate, trying to pounce on the incorporeal sentience, but in the end they had no choice but to quickly disappear because they broke away from the insect corpse.
Zhang Yan had no intention of getting close to observe. He kept a distance of about 12 to 30 feet, covered with aura and barrier, and then just relied on his senses to observe. This observation was the arrival of night before dawn. He didn't make any new moves until the unknown activity in those insect corpses completely disappeared. I caught a gopher from the ground elsewhere, threw it over, and then stopped the gopher in place and waited for a short while to confirm again that there was no problem before it was over.
Zhang Yan naturally came to a conclusion in his heart. But it seems to subvert cognition.
Because Zhang Yan felt that the things that melted out of the "black ice" were not poison, but something "living". But on the contrary, there is no vitality that a living creature should have, and there is not even the soul fluctuation of a ghost. In addition, even the Yin-Yang Child Art cannot be "seen", and can only be perceived through perception.
Fortunately, this kind of "living creature" cannot survive on the ground for too long. Even if it has a living body as a support, it cannot survive for more than half a day. Perhaps this is the reason why all the monsters died in one group before, but they did not spread endlessly.
Are there such "living creatures" in the void?
With this kind of doubt, Zhang Yan found a quiet place nearby, arranged a defensive array for himself, and then plunged into the palace where Wan Xiang Zhuli kept the book. He wanted to look up the relevant records about what "living creatures" existed in the void.
