Chapter 2420 Impossibility And Illusions

"The Astral Dimension." Lin Mu repeated the new term that he had never read or heard about before.

"It is a very mysterious place that even I don't know much about." Xukong stated. "I've never gone there and I don't think I can even if I want to." He added.

"What? Even you can't go there?" Lin Mu was shocked. "Where is it located in the Void?"

"That's the thing... The Astral Dimension is not within any of the Voids." Xukong answered after a pause. "The Astral Dimension is its own plane of existence where reality is a mere suggestion and the heavenly laws do not exist. It is a place where very few individuals have managed to go and even less manage to return. Knowledge about it is very limited and as such we have no idea what happens there to those that go in." He explained to his best capability.

"Then what about those that returned? You said some do manage to return." Lin Mu asked next.

"The experience for every person is different. Some merely stay there a few moments before returning safely, some get lost forever. A minority stay there a long time but eventually manage to return, forever changed. Most become insane and deranged, while some become solemn." Xukong replied. "It is impossible to tell the true effects of that place." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"If I really went there and managed to return... Would I have those effects too?" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Thankfully, you seem to be fine." Xukong assured him. "If you were to go insane, you already would have done that." He clarified.

~huu~

"Highly likely." Xukong nodded. "Your True Soul didn't fully anchor itself to your body thus it could continue to do the jumps into the Astral Dimension. Or perhaps you could say that it had one foot in your body, and another in the Astral Dimension.

Only when it fully entered your body did you manage to 'awaken' like you have right now." He said with a little doubt.

"Hmm... So all that I saw in there... what exactly was it?" Lin Mu questioned finding it quite intriguing.

"That is hard to tell. Some say that the Astral Dimensions shows all possible realities, while some say that all it shows are fake illusions." Xukong replied. "Such as the one you saw with the armored man. There is no way something like that is possible." He added,

"But I felt each and every Dao profoundly." Lin Mu said in disbelief.

"That's impossible." Xukong denied it right away. "There has been no one who has managed to master that many Daos in the universe." He affirmed.

"But he really did." Lin Mu replied. "I felt my comprehension of Dao's improving quite a lot. And I could identify them too." He added.

"Whatever you saw was simply an illusion and I can tell you why." Xukong knew Lin Mu wouldn't accept it easily so decided to give him the truth behind it.

"And why's that?" Lin Mu listened with full focus.

"When people comprehend a Dao, you can think of them as opening a tiny stream from their origin which you can think of as a sea. When they comprehend another Dao, they open up another stream. And when their comprehension of a Dao improves, the stream also widens, eventually turning into a gushing river." Xukong began his explanation. "The reason why I said it is impossible was the conflict between the streams, or rivers that you might make."
