Ergenverse: Is the 2nd step outer?

[EL_xWatcher1234x]

There was another universe inside the vortex. This was a boundless world of darkness. There was no light or sound, there wasn’t even a sliver of spiritual or origin energy.


Life was almost extinct here.


This was the void under the shattered space. No one knew why it existed. If space was layers of endless silk, then this was the darkness under the silk.


There once were powerful cultivators that wanted to find the root of this void. However, over the countless years, no one could figure out the secret of the void.


A cultivator’s body would endlessly weaken as if there was an invisible force that constantly sealed and limited a cultivator, making it difficult to survive. Also, because this place was isolated from the world’s origin energy, even if a cultivator’s own origin energy was self-contained, there will be a day when it’s exhausted.


Also, under the weakening and sealing affect, the amount they could use was too little.


It was as if this place was an area forbidden to cultivators!


In the Alliance, only people whose status and cultivation had reached a certain level would know that a long time ago, before the Celestial Realms collapsed, a heaven-shaking event once occurred here that almost caused the Celestial Realm to shatter!


No one knew if this void had an end. Even peak Nirvana Shatterer cultivators couldn’t probe here for too long. After all, no matter how much origin energy they had, there would still be a day when it would be used up.


It was as if this void was a natural origin energy isolation formation. It was a completely sealed space that prevented cultivators from shattering it to explore deeper.


However, was this really a natural origin energy isolation formation… No one knew the answer to this.


However, there was a speculation hidden inside a few people’s hearts. They were afraid to touch it due to the fear of the unimaginable disaster it would cause. Which was that… This land of void was not natural but… man made! Ch 935

(The Moongazer is an Ancient God's tapeworm )

The instant he retreated, the Moongazer Serpent’s roar caused the ancient god finger that Black Fiend Devil Saint and the refined corpses were dealing with to explode!

Boom!

It was impossible to explain the explosion of the ancient god finger. Everything within 5,000 kilometers of it seemed to have been directly torn open. Screams came from a large amount of cultivators as they were directly sucked into the crack and disappeared without a trace.

Countless cultivators panicked and retreated in terror. They only hated themselves for being too slow.

The Moongazer Serpent was the only one who wasn’t damaged at all. It charged forward, and its tentacles swept out to start a massacre. As for Black Fiend Devil Saint, who was at the center of the explosion, he coughed out large amounts of blood and was thrown back. He had never been in such a sorry state in his tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Ch929

After devouring the golden dragon, the Moongazer Serpent no longer had the clarity it had before. Instead of moving forward, it headed into the vortex formed by the collapsed space.

Entering the vortex meant entering the void under the collapsed space! Ch934

They could leave this void thanks to Master Flamespark(Nirvana Shatterer) treasure

The celestial origin energy in Qing Shui’s body was eventually completely sealed. He gradually weakened, and on the third day, he lost the ability to fly.

Wang Lin supported Qing Shui as he continued to move through the void. The celestial fragment Master Flamespark gave them floated before him and gave off a gentle light. It was as if it had made a connection with the outside world and was leading the way.

Supporting Qing Shui, Wang Lin followed the celestial fragment. On the ninth day, Qing Shui was extremely weak. He looked at the void and the drifting celestial fragment as he said, “After I take the memories from Esteemed Xuan Bao’s origin soul, you should keep the origin soul. His origin soul contains a large amount of celestial origin energy, so it will be very useful to you!”

“Your attitude is very similar to mine back then… I hope you will cherish it more than me, because I no longer have the qualifications or people to cherish…” Qing Shui looked at Wang Lin as if he was looking at his past self.

The same kind of coldness, the same kind of slaughter, and the same kind of loneliness.

On this day, the celestial fragment suddenly shined brightly and stopped. As it shined, a vortex appeared before it.

There was an alter on the vortex with countless cultivators chanting. Master Flamespark stood on the altar with a smile and his voice entered.

“Welcome back!” Ch 945

From this it's clear that mid 2nd step cultivators and above need a range upgrade through origin energy



BTW, a weakened eigth star Royal Ancient God could effortlessly go there

A a normal day, Tuo Sen would’ve killed everyone. However, at this moment, his eyes narrowed. He had searched the four realms but couldn’t find any trace of Wang Lin. However, he knew Wang Lin wasn’t dead, or else he would’ve felt the dissipating inheritance.

“If the four star systems all don’t have his aura then… there is only one possibility!” With a stomp of his right foot, the Cloud Sea immediately trembled and ripples echoed across space, causing a large crack to appear. His body sank into the crack and disappeared.

After he disappeared, divine senses arrived with shock and searched around before leaving in shock. Aside from a few old monsters, no one knew the real reason behind the shocking change in the Cloud Sea.

There was a void under the four star systems. This was where the Realm-Sealing Formation was. You could enter the Ancient Star System if you broke through here. Ch1218

I'm pretty sure they are 1-A at 4th step, not before it. As 1st to 3rd step are still under Great Dao or something

@Planck69

The power system is 1-A at the 3rd step thtough essence, but cultivators themselves only become 1-A at the 4th step. At least to my knowledge



The scan above is talking about a formation created by a 3rd step that surrounds the galaxy. Both the void and the "endless layers of space" are covered by this formation.

 

[Planck69]

1-A only starts at 4th Step. At third Step, they comprehend Daos/Essences, which are 1-A and can manipulate them to a degree, but are only Tier 2 physically.

What about Joss Flame?

 

[XuQingXiYi]

The endless layers of silk=space is pretty vague to be anything related to dimensions or anything dimension-related and considering how ridiculously big the range of the cosmology has grown(through AWWP and BT), 2nd steps being outer would be kinda wild.

This isn't about 2nd steps, but Origin Energy



It's very likely that "Source Origin" that Wang Lin was collecting was essence

Wang Lin’s divine sense split in two and fused with the word “battle.” A trace of source origin energy came from the word and slowly cycled through his body. Just as it was about to leave Wang Lin’s body, it trembled and this trace of source origin energy charged toward the third eye like crazy.


The source origin energy rushed into the third eye that had appeared between his eyebrow. Bright red light suddenly came from his third eye.


As slivers of source origin energy entered, the red light coming from his third eye became even more intense. After 10 seconds, Wang Lin awakened and the red light gathered in his third eye suddenly gushed out in a fan shape!


The red light flashed and caused all the surrounding cultivators to exclaim. The fan-shaped red light completely surrounded the Battle Scroll.


In a trance, Wang Lin vaguely saw a strange scene in the scroll. It was a distant star system, and an old man in white waved his finger in space and wrote the word “battle!” The word flashed and split into six different scrolls.


A powerful source origin energy came from the old man. He was filled with melancholy, regret, and reluctance as he looked at the word “battle.” He raised his head and looked into the stars. His eyes were suddenly filled with disbelief.


Wang Lin’s body trembled and the red light from his third eye disappeared. He had awakened. That scene he saw just now was due to his third eye establishing a connection with the Battle Scroll. What he faintly managed to see felt like an illusion, but it also felt so real!


As the red light disappeared, Wang Lin’s third eye gradually closed, but it didn’t disappear. It turned into a red line and remained between Wang Lin’s eyebrows. At this moment, Wang Lin was giving off a strange feeling.


“You saw it!” Li Yunzi took a step and suddenly appeared before Wang Lin. He stared at Wang Lin, and his voice contained a trace of excitement.


Wang Lin silently pondered and nodded. He could clearly feel that there was a power that even terrified him within the red line between his eyebrows. There was a hint of pain, as if that power was unwilling to remain and wanted to explode outward. Ch 875

Wang Lin opened the scroll with zero hesitation after he let out that roar!


There was an extremely flamboyant “Battle” character on the scroll that looked like it was going to fly out from inside. It was amazing!


An ancient aura came from the word “Battle,” and in that instant, there was a battle dao shadow in each of his eyes. At this moment, Wang Lin’s vision blurred and he sank into this strange domain.


It was still that endless space with that old man wearing white. However, this time the old man was sitting, and his right hand continued to draw the word “Battle” in the void!


“This old man reached the Void realm and grasped the boundary of the world. I have left behind no descendants, and my entire cultivation is drawn into the word ‘Battle’. At this moment, before I attempt to break the edge of the world, I leave behind these six Battle Scrolls in case I fail and lose my life. If someone in the future obtains all six, then they will become this old man’s inheritor!”


As the old man muttered, his right hand suddenly stopped. There were thousands and thousands of the word “Battle” of varying sizes around him. The old man pointed with this finger and then all of these words filled with battle intent merged into one word before the old man in the blink of the eye!


“Battle!” The old man’s voice was calm, but the moment he said the word, the word “Battle” trembled, turned into a ray of black light, and went into the void…


Wang Lin’s body trembled as the battle dao shadow disappeared from his eyes and he awakened.


Li Yunzi quickly walked up. His eyes were filled with excitement as he urgently said, “Did you see it?!” Ch 948

That old man is Old Ghost Zhang who is a Void Tribulant stage cultivator. His essence is "Battle"

The question that u posted above is if the 2nd step is outer and collecting or already having essence isn't automatically outer, we see that people who comprehend even 8-9 essences(paragon in issth) are only rated multiversal

No, I just thought it may support it


Origin Energy being able to reach the void below space(endless layers) might work for outer range

Well idrk, it shouldn't work anyways due to reasons in my debunk crt I made a few hours ago
