Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 218: Learning Dao Part 1

"Ahem! Aren't you two lovebirds ashamed of showing your love in the public?" Suddenly, Zhao Tan cleared his throat and disrupted them with some displeasure on his face.

Qin and Yue Bin immediately separated upon hearing his words. Yue Bin was slightly blushing but they weren't ashamed. Qin glared at Zhao Tan for ruining an amazing moment. Zhao Tan shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

He obviously didn't want to interfere but they were doing it at the wrong spot and time. So, he got no choice but to interfere. And, not just him, everyone else felt the same way.

"Ohh! It seems everyone has gathered around. So, how about we start our little discussion?" Suddenly, a voice rang from behind as Devil Qin walked towards them. Seeing him, everyone else turned their heads at him.

"Before we go deeper, let me ask you something. How many of you know about Dao and how much?" Devil Qin asked as they circled around him. He decided to stay in the middle since it would be easier to talk to everyone and it will also make everyone focused on him rather than others.

Hearing his question, only Lan Ming raised his hand and said "I know Dao a little bit."

"How much?" Devil Qin directly went to the main point and asked.

Lan Ming scratched his head and said "Well, in my past life, I touched the barrier between Law and Dao, understanding my own Dao. I was specialized in Space Law so it was the first Dao I tried comprehending. But before long, I died."

"Oh Then, we can start with the very basics. There is no need to think about it. And, remember, no matter what I tell you, it could be all wrong from your perspective. Dao is a path. It is something that you need to walk by yourself."

"And, this path has a different hurdle that you need to face and overcome. Once you do, your experience and wisdom will grow to allow you to create power for yourself. Since we have someone with Space Law knowledge, let's start with Space."

Saying so, Devil Qin snapped his finger and suddenly dozens of lines appeared around them. These lines were so thin that if not for Devil Qin, they would've never seen it. Lan Ming who saw it clearly got shocked. As someone who knows Space Law, he knows how hard it is to see these lines not to mention allowing others to see them.

"These lines are called Spatial Threads. Each thread holds a certain number which we call Spatial Coordinate. Now, as someone who knows Space Dao, I can touch these threads and manipulate them. Look!"

Saying so, he pulled one of the lines which were closest to him. When he pulled that line, it suddenly sends some vibration through the threads. As it passed down, it collided against another line that cuts this line. When it reaches that intersection, the vibration suddenly grew and thin air around them started cracking.

The cracks became much more visible as the dark space started expanding over it. But, Devil Qin instantly freed the line, and the dark space no longer expanded, and slowly, it started fading away.

"As you can see, the space broke when I manipulate one of the threads. Now, here is one interesting part. While you are controlling the space, you are also going against Heaven. So, if you are not strong enough, even if you comprehend Dao, you can't use it."

"Just like when I released the line, the space started repairing itself. Space doesn't have its own consciousness. It was Heaven or rather should I say this Chaos Ball's Spirit which was recovering it. It same outside. There is no difference."

"Of course, what you can see right now is Dao. As a Mortal, you can't use Dao. So, you need to start off with Laws. When you comprehend Laws, you can do everything that Dao can do but on a smaller scale. Like you can't erase someone's existence even if you know Destruction Law."

"You can only destroy their body or soul. And, Law has one major advantage. Instead of learning basic laws, you should focus on powerful Laws. Because the power of Law can't influence Heaven but against your enemy, it can be a deadly weapon."

"So, if you learn Space Dao, you can't manipulate Spatial Thread as I did but you can still create virtual threads. This is why I started off from the beginning."

Saying so, he looked at Lan Ming and said "The Spatial Thread that you use are not real Spatial Thread. They are just virtual creations of your own. It is special because creating your own Spatial Thread is something unique but in just a few seconds, it will disappear and you have to create it again."

"Seeing your surprise face, I was right. You don't know much about it. Laws are Virtual. Profound Meaning which is above Law takes them to another level but they are still Virtual. True Meaning allows us to understand the barrier behind Real and Virtual."

"And, once you comprehend Dao properly, you can shape reality on your wall. Because understanding Dao gives you the abilities like Heaven. Of course, there are still many stages in Dao. But, let's not dig too deep into those."

"As I said before, what you need to understand is Space Law. You are not manipulating the Space rather creating a virtual space and manipulating it. This is the core truth behind the Space Law. So, what is Space?"

"How is space created? This question is a paradox. Let me give you an example. Our universe is a space, right? If our universe is a space, then what is void? What can you call void? An empty space? But, in the end, it is still space, right? After all, the universe space is also empty if we remove stars and planets, right?"

"Or, maybe not! Space and Void are differentiated by one most important factor. Energy! Space isn't empty. But, the void is empty. Space contains energy and this energy is the profound energy that nobody has ever understood. It resides inside the vacuum of space. So, vacuum is no longer a vacuum rather a space."

"Void is different. The reason Void is counted above Space is because of this. Void is complete emptiness. When we say space, we don't count planets or stars. We count everything that ever exists. And, that is space. But, Void is something that doesn't exist, not from the perspective of Space Law."

"Because what could possibly exist beyond space? But, Void does. Void lies beyond Space and thus it creates a unique set of worlds that you might get to discover later. So, now as someone who is going to comprehend Space Law, what do you think you should understand from here?"

Hearing his question, they tilted their heads in confusion. They did understand a lot about Space and Void. But, they didn't understand how it tied up with Space Law.

"We should learn how to create a proper and stronger Virtual Space?" Lan Ming raised his hand and spoke.

Devil Qin smiled and nodded his head "Yes, that's the point. You don't need to know a lot about Space's real meaning or void. What you need is to create Virtual Space. Because for you, that's the Space Law. But, I added those things because you would need it in the future to understand Dao."

"And, I am here teaching all of you Dao because understanding Dao will give you a better understanding of Law. Now, let's talk about how to create a proper and stronger Virtual Space. And, once again, here comes the influence of Dao. What did I say about the existence of Space?"

"You said a bunch of different things," Qin replied.

Devil Qin's horns twitched a little as he asked "No, I mean what did I say about how big the space is? Anyway, as I said before, Space is big. It exists everywhere so what about your Virtual Space. Should you create a bigger Virtual Space?"

"No, you shouldn't. Remember Virtual Space is something that coexists with real space but only for a few seconds or minutes. If you try to create bigger space, not only you are wasting your energy and time but also doing this for nothing."

"Unless it is used for escape, don't create bigger Virtual Space. Since you are not only creating it but also controlling it, you would need a lot of concentration and power. Instead, make your Space smaller, the smaller it gets, the more control you can have."

"Like this!"

Saying so, Devil Qin snapped his finger and the space started trembling. Above them, a sword appeared. The sword was invisible but due to Devil Qin, they were able to see it. The sword was actually made out of the threads but these threads seemed quite different.

But, it didn't end there. A few meters away, Devil Qin created another sword but not just one rather ten swords. And, this time he used those same kinds of threads but there was one major difference.

The threads that created the sword were just outlined and still flowed in a parallel path after forging the shape of the sword. It seemed rather simple with a single sword but when it got to multiple swords. Those threads were no longer parallel and ended up crossing each other.

"As I said, Space is a Law. And, Law means rules. If you are trying to manipulate it, you need to follow a certain rule. I need to make the threads as parallel as possible but with multiple swords, it becomes difficult."

"And, do you know what could happen if you messed up in this section?"
