Creation of Small World

Going back in time for a bit...

Zhou Lin has been contemplating things while he casually controls the Heavenly Lightning to his whims, and breakthrough to the next Spiritual Rank.

He knows there are more beings stronger than him in this world, but he didn't thought someone like that is near the city he lives in. He can't fathom how strong that fox demon is.

It makes him more aware just how small he is at this world.

Though, this also gave him motivation to become more stronger. It also gives him the reason not to even go around and offending anyone just because.

'But there is no place to breakthrough peacefully anymore...' He thought to himself with a frown.

He can still do this contemplation while being bathed in the tyrannical wrath of the natural order, but if he tries to move around, he has a feeling that it will be bad for him. So he has to stay in this position while receiving these lightning tribulations.

He can feel that as he becomes more stronger, the lightning tribulations will become longer. Just now, each lightning persists for ten seconds, and there are a total of five lightnings attacking him. Their potency is much stronger, that even the barren ground itself is being scorched to nonexistence.

This is why he has to do something about this. He has to find a place where he can truly do these occasional tribulations in peace.

And this place seems to have met all of his requirements.

There are no nearby essence at all, much less the presence of any Demon Beasts. It is simple to get to the conclusion that no one will dare live in a desolate land like this.

There is also a mysterious sapping force in this region, so he thinks that even normal cultivators won't dare stay for even a second here.

This means this place is actually the safest spot for him. In fact, he is more confident that there are no one who claims this area as theirs.

"I own this place now! And now I will upgrade it!"

That's why, he has decided that. It's just in time as he was just done receiving the heavenly tribulation.

After declaring this place as his own, he suddenly acquired the prompt through his Appraisal.

[(Common) Dual Peaks Desolate Land] (+)

"This name... is too literal!" He exclaimed with a bit of a surprised, before shaking his head. "What will it be called if I upgrade this place?"

With that, he quickly upgraded it by poking the "+" button besides the prompt. After seeing the confirmation, he immediately goes along with it.

The whole place suddenly changes after that simple decision. The dead area suddenly seems to have acquired it's own heartbeat as the whole place exploded with a huge amount of profound energies.

[(Uncommon) Dual Peaks Mystical Land] (+)

"It's not enough!"

Even if the place acquired a great change, he is unsatisfied. He wanted to acquire a certain trait from this place that will ensure this stays hidden from the world.

He looks at his status first...

He thinks he might be able to upgrade this place four more times. So he gets to working quickly.

[Dual Peaks Mystical Land] turned into [Dual Peaks Spiritual Land] for 10 points. Then it turned into [Dual Peaks Ancient Land] for 100 points. [Dual Peaks Heavenly Land], and when he finally got to the next stage, something surprising happens...

"Huh!?" His eyes widened when he felt the whole region suddenly becoming expansive. In his mind's eye, he felt like the whole area seems to have become a realm of it's own.

[(Epic) Dual Peaks Heavenly Small World] (+)

"Small World!" He exclaims in surprise.

It actually became a Small World. He is not really sure what it meant, but he thinks he can use the knowledge from his past life as a reference to this.

Based on the Xianxia novels he reads in his past life, Small Worlds are hidden realms within the world. It's like a mini-world with it's own rules and environment. It usually contains a lot of treasures, opportunities, new species, and new knowledge.

He thinks this might be like this too.

The surprising thing is, it seems like this Small World is intricately connected to his existence. He felt like he can change this place whenever he wants.

To further test that, he tries to think of having a flower garden in front of him. He can only gasps in surprise when a flower garden actually sprouted on the ground.

".... Hahaha..... HAHAHAHAHA!"

He can't help but laugh.

"This is too domineering! I actually control a whole Small World to myself!"

Even if he likes to be low profile, having the capability that is akin to a god is still too exciting. Who wouldn't be excited when they are capable of messing with the world?

This whole Small World is intricately connected to his existence. He can feel anything this world has to offer, and the hidden things within this world. He can feel how there is a hidden essence under this Small World, and that the heart of this world's existence is the Dual Peaks itself.

Talking about the Dual Peaks, he looks behind him and gawked at the great change it has. At first, it was just a normal mountain split into half, causing it to be called the Dual Peaks. Now, these two peaks seems to have become a spire that pierces the Heavens itself. The peak of these mountains can't be seen from the clouds.

These Dual Peaks are the only thing he can't change in this world. It is the anchor that makes this world's existence even possible.

"Good! I like this!"

He ignored the hidden essence on the underground. It is nonessential to him as it wasn't even an essence that hints it was alive. It's like a foreign essence that is intricately similar to the natural elements of the world. Meaning it is not really a living thing.

For now, he immersed himself at the fact that he is essentially a God within this Small World.

".... I think I'll be staying here for a bit... I want to learn more about this world!" He muttered to himself, already feeling very excited at the prospects.

The immortal glances at the hidden expert as he explores his own Small World. The nonexistent eyes of this immortal is still in a dazed, unbelieving of what he just witnessed.

'He can actually create a Small World!?'

It is possible for Sky Realm Cultivators to create their own Small Worlds, though they have to used up most of their cultivation, also they need to have a great comprehension about the natural laws of the world.

This Immortal is quite a genius at his time, so he knows that learning about a single law requires great effort, knowledge, talent, and time. Even him only manages to learn a single law when he was in the middle tiers of the Celestial Realm. This shows just how impossible it is to create a Small World as a Sky Realm cultivator.

'This man is so mysterious!' He can't help but be amazed at this cultivator.

Even if Zhou Lin is miles ahead from his own prowess, this immortal respects him now.

How can he not respect him? Zhou Lin creates a Small World that exudes a terrifying amount of profound energies, and it seems that it was so rich that he thinks this world might even form it's own higher level profound energies, which only exists on a dimension higher than this world.

'Right... it is thanks to this hidden expert that my recovery is shortened into a few hundred years. I think I might even be able to create my physical body after a year!' He thought to himself.

He swears to himself. He will wait for the time he created his body, and then personally thank this cultivator... no, his benefactor!
