Chapter 151: Axes of Universe and Primal Mana

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The mind space was a place with boundless darkness. Mortals who never went through specific training would never realize this void, bottomless space deep inside their minds.
Inside this primal and endless chaos, three giant surfaces shined with brightness and displayed their existence.
Suddenly, in the dark space away from these surfaces, three light spots that belonged to different quadrants, as well as vertical and horizontal axes, came into being.
Like morning stars that repelled the night.
The three stars shared an indistinct, unknown connection with the three surfaces. Even if they did not connect with each other, it could be felt that they possessed the same origin.
As the three stars illuminated the darkness, a giant blade made of spirit power sliced through space as if it came from another dimension.
The blade broke the three stars apart. The broken stars then slowly scattered and formed up a new surface as if they had their own consciousness.
A fourth, shining surface now existed in the chaos.
Like an endless loop, when the fourth surface pierced the sky, another three stars slowly rose and released an intense brightness. Soon, a blade from outside the space came once again and completely shattered them, creating the fifth surface in the chaos.
Stars, blade.
The process repeated twice more.
As the seventh-star combination was shattered and gave birth to the seventh surface, the once tranquil and eternal mind space witnessed a drastic change.
Seven surfaces, some intersected with each other, some were parallel, divided the chaos into 36 different sections. All these sections released a blinding light at the same time. When the light died down, the surfaces vanished, leaving countless broken lines behind.
These broken lines kept blinking out of existence. When something was looking at them, they showed their shining forms in the mind space. In other times, they hid in the darkness.
This was the ultimate form of the thirty-six-dimensional locator: the Axes of the Universe!
…
Angor slowly opened his eyes and revealed a grin around his lips.
The coordinates worked out by the tablet helped him create the stars in his mind space. Combined with his spirit blade, seven final surfaces were successfully made, giving birth to the Axes of the Universe. It meant Angor’s effort during all these months paid off.
The thirty-six-dimensional locator, which was long lost, finally made its appearance in the world again!
Now Angor only needed to slightly meditate to trigger the Axes of the Universe in his mind space. With the help of the axes, the entire chaotic mind space was quantified. Every abstract spot could now be represented by data and digits.
The data were not absolutely correct, but according to Singularity Dispersive Meditation , these data could be optimized relatively perfectly. A singularity dispersive model built in this way would achieve its original fitness level.
And that was the best Angor could hope for.
To make sure, Angor had to test out the locating capacity of these axes.
He quickly took out his Singularity Dispersive Meditation copy and found the page which gave instructions on how to build a spirit model.
The first step was to create a singular point. This point was referred to as the “point of all terminals” by wizards. It meant the beginning and the end of the universe, a point that brought boundless imaginations and religious beliefs. Nobody knew if it really existed, or only resided in the imaginations of wizards. Or maybe it lied inside another dimension.
The book used “singularity” in its title and used this point as the starting point of the spirit model. This meant the author of the book was extremely ambitious. What was more, the author’s knowledge and insight were well deserved of such an ambition. An incomplete channeling method with a base fitness level of 30%! This was way higher than the best channeling method used in Brute Cavern, Montaus’ Octahedrite Channeling. Even a mighty wizard like Sunders agreed that the book was absolutely best of the best in the entire southern region.
All in all, a singular point was the foundation of the channeling method book and the most critical step. If the Axes of the Universe could be used to locate a perfect singular point, then Angor could achieve great progress after all these months.
The book used an entire page just listing the coordinates for the singular point. Angor carefully went through each decimal place to eliminate incorrect points on the axes.
When Angor reached the end of the coordinates, he found an abstract spot in the endless space.
“So this is the singular point?”
He split his spirit concentration and began the calculation for a second time, only to reach the same spot again. This time, Angor was finally assured. Using his spirit power, he slowly created the starting point of the spirit model.
When a sphere that gave out a faint light emerged, Angor had succeeded in building the initial state of his spirit model.
Next, he had to prove whether this “sphere” was the rumored singular point.
The book told him how. He just had to construct his first spirit power tunnel from the sphere and see the speed of the flow to determine whether the singular point was real or fake.
Without tarrying, Angor immediately proceeded to the second step: building the spirit power tunnel.
A spirit tunnel was the base unit that composed the spirit model. Every model consisted of multiple spirit tunnels. A model was like a building, with the starting point as its base, and the tunnels as its frames.
A spirit tunnel also required a starting coordinate. Using the Axes of the Universe, Angor easily determined the first tunnel.
From zero to one, the tunnel slowly emerged from the sphere and reached for the final destination.
Once the tunnel was built, Angor would be able to start calculating the flow speed of spirit power and see if the singular point was successful.
Angor did not know how much time he spent on connecting the first tunnel to its ending point. With the tunnel finally completed, his spirit model now looked like a lollipop, but with its stick pointing upward.
“There!” With the tunnel in place, Angor could not wait to test his spirit flow out.
But before he could do that, a vortex-like black hole suddenly appeared on the topside of his mind space.
And before he could react, a strange and wild energy flow came rushing out of the vortex.
“That’s… primal mana?!”
Angor was shocked at the sight. He knew primal mana often showed itself when someone built their spirit models, but it only happened when the model approached its completion, not at the beginning.
The appearance of primal mana meant that Angor could now channel the mana into the spirit tunnel to initiate mana flow. The flow would remove the wild attribute from the primal mana, turning it into pure and controllable energy. And when he had enough mana, he could establish his mana pool.
The mana pool was what made a talent into a supernatural.
As Angor stayed dumbfounded, the primal mana kept lashing out from the vortex until it filled up the chaotic mind space. The wild nature of the energy quickly caused Angor’s mind to become restless.
The only way to solve this problem was to channel the energy into the spirit tunnel and purify it.
However…
Angor stared at the small “stick” on the spirit sphere and could not help cursing.
“How can I tame such primal mana with this small spirit tunnel?” Angor felt powerless. Why did the primal mana show up now anyway? The early appearance could be difficult to deal with.
More importantly… what was wrong with the vortex? It should be an entrance that connected with the outside. An apprentice could draw primal mana from nature when he or she meditated, and then they could slowly purify the mana and strengthen themselves.
And usually, this “vortex” only provided a small string of energy. But now, Angor’s vortex appeared like an opened gate on a river dam during a flood. By the time he realized what was going on, the primal mana already occupied his entire mind space.
Was that how efficient Singularity Dispersive Meditation was? The speed of drawing primal mana was downright scary. If he could establish a purification mana flow at the same speed, Angor would probably make breakthroughs like taking strolls in a park!
Angor quickly shut off the “vortex”, but lots of primal mana was already troubling his mind space. If he did not deal with it soon, he would go crazy under its effect. With no other choices, Angor forced himself to calm down and channeled the primal mana into his tiny spirit tunnel.
He believed that it would not take much time for the spirit sphere to be completely filled up by primal mana.
To his surprise, when he channeled all the mana into the spirit tunnel, the sphere remained as it was.
It was like dropping stones into a giant river. Everything calmed down. Nothing was left behind.
“The model can hold a big amount of mana!” Angor realized what happened.
A large capacity meant purer mana outcome, which in turn could amplify the spells he used.
“It deserved its name… one single tunnel can keep so much mana!” Angor exclaimed in excitement.
With the vortex shut off and all the primal mana being kept inside the “sphere”, Angor moved on to calculating the flow speed.
And the result was exactly the one recorded in the book.
Angor was finally relieved. The Axes of the Universe that he established was accurate, and the “sphere” was the real singular point. The first part of his spirit model was also correct.
He made a good start on the long and unpredictable path of becoming a wizard.
