After a while longer, Zhou Fan reached the point he had previously chosen. From any galaxy or galaxy cluster or space thing, this was the farthest point from everything. Although space was usually silent, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel that the silence he was in was much more so.
Just a few feet ahead of Zhou Fan was the point he had chosen. Whether or not he cultivated directly in that spot didn't really matter as it wasn't special, but Zhou Fan wanted to sit exactly there.
He thought for a moment, and brought out the pagoda from his spatial ring and looked directly at it. It was something he had made within the Zhou solar system, and was by far his greatest creation. Even the manor wasn't built with half the effort. Only his sword could possibly compare.
Yet, after staring for just a moment, Zhou Fan squinted. In that second, the pagoda was decimated. Not even its ashes or debris remained.
'This will mark a new beginning. Nothing of the past will remain.'
At that thought, Zhou Fan took off his spatial ring and crushed it like the pagoda. All the materials and random things he had brought were crushed as a result, but his sword survived. It was floating directly in front of him.
He had some sentimental feelings about the sword as well, but after a moment, he crushed it into nothing. A slight explosion ensued, but Zhou Fan's gray clothes didn't even move.
Zhou Fan walked towards the point at the speed of a mortal. As he did, his clothes were instantly destroyed like the pagoda, the spatial ring, and his sword.
He stood naked in the point of emptiness he had chosen. He then sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
---------------------------------------
500,000 years later, Zhou Fan broke into the 7th level of the inner world realm. Like it had every other time, his inner worlds strength increased greatly, along with its internal size.
Since he had just broken through, Zhou Fan decided to once again enter his inner world. He had only done it once ever since he broke through to the inner world realm, and he had no idea what its current state was.
When Zhou Fan went into the inner world, his body didn't change a bit. The inner world wasn't really that much of an independent space. It was actually quite similar to the mind in some ways.
Therefore, his mind and soul entered his inner world, but his body remained outside.
When Zhou Fan entered, he saw nothing but gray. It wasn't unexpected, but from the first view, it seemed that it hadn't changed at all.
Zhou Fan started flying in a random direction in order to try and reach the end of his inner world. He expected to reach it fairly quickly like last time, but he was sorely mistaken.
After an entire hour of flying, not a single thing had appeared to change. Although he found it weird, Zhou Fan continued forward without thinking too much.
After a day, however, Zhou Fan started to really think. He hadn't expected that his inner world had grown so much. He wasn't exactly moving at his top speed, but he was moving fast enough to go around an average star in a week. That meant that his inner world, the world inside of his small body, had become extremely huge.
Zhou Fan didn't move any faster in fear that using too much power would cause something to go wrong. In the end, it took a total of a week to reach a wall. It wasn't exactly a wall since he could see further, but he couldn't move any further. That didn't mean that his inner world was as big as an average star, but bigger. He assumed that he started at the center and moved straight towards the nearest wall.
If he thought of his inner world as a circle, its radius would be the size of an average star's circumference. If his math was correct, that meant that his inner world was six times bigger than an average star.
That was despite the fact that he hadn't even reached the highest level in the inner world realm.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but laugh as he left his inner world. He was way too powerful.
Once again, Zhou Fan went into seclusion.
-------------------------------------
600,000 years later, Zhou fan broke into the 8th level of the inner world realm. If his inner world was six times the size of an average star before, it was most likely at least three times that size. His power had increased greatly even if you only looked at the size.
His inner world had also increased in strength, not just size. And since the inner world was a part of him, his strength had increased greatly.
Zhou Fan didn't go into the inner world again and started cultivating.
----------------------------------------
750,000 years later, Zhou Fan broke into the 9th level of the inner world realm. His strength had increased greatly as usual.
As he took his slight break, he couldn't help but wonder how big the Zhou world, and all the other worlds he had added to his mortal dao, had become. Earth would have increased in size as well.
They surely hadn't reached the size of a galaxy, and probably wouldn't for many more breakthroughs, but Zhou Fan couldn't help but think of the huge issue they had.
Eventually, they would reach the black holes in their galaxies. By then, would they be able to resist? If black holes were just black holes, Zhou Fan could surely solve the problem with ease. However, there were the cosmic dao strands.
Zhou Fan didn't know if he would be able to handle the cosmic dao by the time his worlds reached the black holes. He also wasn't going to take the risk of going against a strand in hope that the cosmic dao's main body wouldn't retaliate.
It was, without a doubt, a sticky situation that Zhou Fan had to worry about.
