Chapter 476: Gum Worms
Stars hung in the distant space. They were above, below, and to the sides of the Death Boat, framing the world. Each was a different color. Blue stars burned the hottest, while red were the largest. Outside a planet’s atmosphere, the different colors could all reach the observer’s eye unfiltered, further amplifying the beauty of the universe.
Jack couldn’t see that right now. It was just him and Brock in a dark room. All he heard was breathing, following a steady rhythm. In and out. In and out. His own spirit was in his inner world, calmly observing it, harmonizing himself with the changes that had occurred in himself.
After breaking into the B-Grade, Jack had been reborn. A whole world now existed in place of his soul. A ten thousand mile wide sphere, supported by his Daos. Tiny particles floated about—barely enough to be called matter. It was empty otherwise.
Well, almost empty. A large, purple, fist-shaped meteor dominated its midst. The empty Life Drop was plastered on its middle finger like an encrusted gem, and Copy Jack lazily floated about, exploring this newfound space. Jack had tried talking to him, but Copy Jack maintained his non-committal stance like he cared about nothing in the world.
Jack remembered, however, how the Dao Soul’s eyes had sharpened during the breakthrough. There was something hidden under the surface. Something wrong with Copy Jack. He just had to figure out what.
He opened his eyes in the real world, releasing a long sigh. He’d finally familiarized himself with his inner world. He wasn’t particularly stronger than he had been right after his breakthrough, but he now understood it more intimately. His cultivation was stabilized.
Jack gave a sideways glance, finding that Brock was still meditating. No problem, he thought. Take your time, bro.
Meanwhile, he opened his status screen.
