The blue-clad little girl stepped back and, with a wisdom beyond her years, circled around Fang Zhixing.
After a long pause, she analyzed seriously, "It’s too early to say what you will become, but I can make some deductions from your practice of the ’Great Luo Blood Demon Technique’."
"First, there are two points that require special attention, one is what ’Great Luo’ refers to, and the other is what ’Blood Demon’ refers to."
Fang Zhixing’s gaze flickered as he listened attentively.
The blue-clad little girl slowly said, "Let’s start with ’Blood Demon’; as the name implies, this is the foundation of your evolution pathway. Any change that occurs in you must begin with a mutation in your blood.
Just like now, your genetic mutation is caused by a variation in your blood, which affects your whole body."
Blood has indeed become the core of your entire cultivation system!"
Fang Zhixing had no objections; the Martial Arts Series he had constructed was indeed closely related to blood.
The blue-clad little girl continued, "As for ’Great Luo,’ although it has many meanings, its most essential content actually refers to ’beyond the world,’ also called ’beyond the heavens.’"
Fang Zhixing nodded with a semblance of understanding; he had only heard phrases like "Great Luo Heaven" and "Daluo Golden Immortal" before.
Great Luo Heaven is the highest of the thirty-six heavens in mythology.
And a Daluo Golden Immortal is tremendously powerful, just below the rank of a Saint.
The blue-clad little girl explained carefully, "We cultivate within this world aiming for the Realm of the Undying, a feat achievable by both carbon-based lifeforms and mechanical life. But have you ever thought about what if the world perished?"
Fang Zhixing was startled and responded, "If the world were to perish, everything would be annihilated, right?"
The blue-clad little girl nodded and replied, "We would perish with the world, and thus some began to pursue a higher realm, attempting to leap beyond the world to achieve eternal immortality."
Fang Zhixing took a moment to absorb this, astonished, "So that’s what Great Luo is, leaping out of the Yin Yang and Five Elements, transcending the whole world to reach the other shore!"
The blue-clad little girl continued, "That’s why this ’Great Luo Blood Demon Technique’ of yours has infinite potential; perhaps one day it really could elevate you to the realm of eternal immortality."
Fang Zhixing was enlightened; he thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "I was reviewing some materials just now and saw mentions of the ’Fifth Layer,’ ’Void,’ among others; what exactly do they mean?"
The blue-clad little girl replied, "Our world has many Restricted Areas; have you ever considered that our world might also be a Restricted Area of some other world?"
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but ponder.
The blue-clad little girl explained, "Restricted Areas are layered; it is relatively easier for creatures from an upper layer to enter a lower layer, but the reverse is quite difficult."
"Over the years, we have continuously explored the lower worlds, extracting various cultivation resources.
At the same time, natives from the worlds above us relentlessly invade here, looting all kinds of treasures.
It’s basically confirmed that our world is at the Fifth Layer; one level up is the Martial Saint World, and another level higher is the Upper Heaven World."
At this point, she smiled subtly and asked, "Guess where the original Martial Arts of our world originated from?"
Fang Zhixing decisively said, "Could it be from the Fourth Layer, the Martial Saint World?"
The blue-clad little girl nodded with a grin, "Exactly, the natives of the Martial Saint World developed an extremely exquisite Martial Arts system. The most powerful natives are known as Martial Saints, capable of near-miraculous feats."
Fang Zhixing then inquired, "What about technology?"
The blue-clad little girl responded, "From my observations, the initial technology very likely originated from the Upper Heaven World, whose natives are tremendously powerful, with technology being just one of their numerous achievements."
Moved by the idea, Fang Zhixing asked, "Do you have the means to travel to the upper worlds?"
After a moment’s hesitation, the blue-clad little girl nodded, "Let me take you somewhere."
That said, she approached Fang Zhixing and vanished into the wrist guard on his arm.
The wrist guard immediately popped out a miniature projection of the blue-clad little girl.
"Come, head to the elevator," she instructed.
Fang Zhixing promptly rose and exited the Practice Room.
With the blue-clad little girl accompanying him, the security doors automatically unlocked and opened as they passed.
The two entered the elevator and descended.
The lowest floor of the elevator was the negative first layer.
However, with a wave of the blue-clad little girl’s hand, the negative second layer appeared.
They stepped out of the elevator.
Fang Zhixing looked around and found himself in a dark, expansive space.
"Walk straight ahead to the end," the blue-clad little girl suggested.
Thus, Fang Zhixing walked straight ahead until he reached a wall.
His gaze flickered as he immediately noticed a crack on the wall, two meters diagonally long, twisted and bent like a serpent.
"Touch the wall," the blue-clad little girl prompted.
Fang Zhixing did as told, placing his right hand on the fissure.
Instantly, light emanated from the depths of the crack, an ice-blue light rippling slightly like lake water bathed under the moonlight, stunningly beautiful.
Fang Zhixing exclaimed, "What is this crack?"
The blue-clad little girl answered, "This is a gateway to the Martial Saint World. Once, the natives of the Martial Saint World used this crack to shuttle back and forth to our place, until I constructed this building and suppressed the entrance, thereby stopping their reckless behavior."
Fang Zhixing quickly understood and excitedly said, "Can I go in?"
The blue-clad little girl replied, "However, the atmosphere of the Martial Saint World is drastically different from our world; you will find it very uncomfortable once inside and will be forced to return shortly, possibly lasting only a few
