Monster Integration

Chapter 4142: Hall of Spatial Principles I

Step!

I appeared on the floating black square, and around me was a translucent purple circle with ten paintings painted on it.

I wanted to move around, but there was nothing to move on aside from the infinite darkness.

All my abilities were sealed, so I could see nothing aside from the paintings and darkness. There is nowhere to go aside from the block, I am standing on. "What is this place?" I thought audibly. Hoping there would be some response, but there was none.

To be honest, I was expecting a spot like outside but one that provided powerful enhancements, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel confused.

It is why one shouldn't enter the places they know nothing about.

I cleared my thoughts and sat down before focusing on the paintings that were moving slowly.

There are different paintings that seem to have no relation with each other whatsoever. There is a tiny box, a flying bird on the mountain, a pillar, and many other things.

I couldn't make sense of it. 'It would have been great if the shaman had dropped the crystal with information about it,' I thought.

Unfortunately, he didn't. So, I have to find it out myself. Though, one thing I am sure about. It is something good, or the shaman wouldn't have visited it.

I looked at it, trying to make sense of them, but as minutes passed, I got nothing. I wish I hadn't had my powers sealed. I might have been able to find something with them.

I pushed those thoughts away and decided to focus on one thing.

I looked around before choosing the box and just focused on it.

Hun!

There was nothing as the seconds passed, and I was about to move my eyes away when I noticed the movement from it.

The tiny box that was unmoving on the painting had suddenly moved. It began to open gently, and at the same time, I felt the familiar space.

Space.

Yes, I felt the power of space as it moved. It became powerful as the box opened and when it was fully opened, and looked inside.

I found myself looking at a massive space that came out of nowhere.

However, it with came the feeling of spatial expansion. It is so clear that I could imagine how it had happened and even feel it as the area expanded.

It continued expansion for a minute before stopping and feeling of space change.

From ever-expanding to stillness.

I remained as such for a minute before the feeling changed from stillness to shrinking.

Soon, it shrunk so that only a box's worth of space remained in it as it was before, and I found myself looking at that small box. "Fuck!" I cursed, with my eyes wide.

I know what this place is. I have information about it. This is a very popular spot, but few know where it is.

It is a hall of spatial principles.

There is another place, which is called the temple of spatial principle. It is in the place which had yet to open. It does when the realm of changes to the Prime.

Many searches for this place. Especially Prime, as space is their domain, but a few could find it. I know how difficult it is.

Primes would walk by it but never see it.

It is one of the important places in this realm. Very few know about it, and those who do would not share it with the others.

This is a place that explains the spatial principle.

What I had just experienced was spatial principles that will help me expand space. I knew about it and even could forge some, but I did it crudely.

To explain in simple terms. I would patch around a few resources and use the runes as the glue.

Here, I had experienced the finesse that I had only read about. I felt my comprehension of it had deepened a lot in just a few minutes.

Seeing that, my eyes couldn't help but widen in deep excitement.

It is much better than the big strength boost I was hoping to get. I could have strength after practicing, but to get a comprehension of the space, I would require years.

Decades.

I began taking deep breaths till I calmed myself enough that I focused on the box again.

This time, it moved within a few seconds, and I felt everything with full concentration. Not daring to miss even the slightest.

Within a few minutes, I had experienced all three principles again.

This time, I didn't immediately focus on the box again. Instead, I closed my eyes and focused on everything I had learned and comprehended.

Writing the ideas I had during the comprehension in great detail.

This place had sealed my power greatly, but I still have a faint connection with my core.

With powerful sealing, I don't think I would have been able to maintain such a connection if I had come here before completing the second level of Talaras.

It had increased the level of forbidden power in me.

What would have taken me time. My clones wrote them down in an instant.

I shared every idea with them and asked them to write them. It was only when I felt completely empty that I focused on the box again.

Experiencing the principles one more time.

Hun!

When I finished, I noticed something. The box became dull, I understood what was happening but didn't focus on it.

Instead, focused on actualizing what I had comprehended and wrote them all down before finally opening my eyes and focusing on the box again.

It had gone dull.

Still, I focused on it, but as the seconds passed, nothing happened. There was no change. It remained as it was. "As expected," I muttered.

If I am not wrong, each painting could be comprehended only three times before it loses the comprehension or gets powered down.

Which is a bummer. I wanted to comprehend it a few more times.
