Chapter 548 - Within Space

Jason thought that the broken world was just connected to Argos, but that didn't seem to be the case.
According to the winged man he had enquired with, there were more than a dozen world bridges inside the broken world.
Despite that, it was relatively peaceful because the space inside the broken world was vast, and there were not many resources except the ginormous amount of naturally generated mana one could make use of.
In the end, peace could only be maintained because the world bridges leading towards the broken world prevented anyone above the peak of the 1st threshold of the Prismar stage from entering it.
Jason already knew this, and he was also aware of the extreme stability the world bridge had which astonished him.
The broken world was moving, and despite that, there was not a single sign of instability of the world bridge's mana fluctuations.
All of this was interesting to Jason, but at the same time, it wouldn't change a lot for him.
He just wanted to cultivate for the next two months and improve his martial art techniques afterward..
Thus, he walked through the fortress, and his Emperor Eyes perceived that there weren't many people who had entered the broken world at that time.
This surprised Jason because it looked like they were wasting the chance to obtain precious resources.
Not fully utilizing the broken world would end up in a loss of time for some prodigies who had to cultivate much longer without mana inside the broken world.
What Jason didn't know was that the broken world had a schedule according to the agreement all races that could enter the broken world had made unanimously.
Thus, it had a total of 10 slots with an exception to the colosseum and other organizations that rewarded an entry to the broken world to someone who had achieved an extraordinary feat.
By showing the ticket he had obtained from the colosseum, he obtained a swift entry to the world bridge.
The total time for which he could stay inside the broken world was three months. This was more than enough for Jason.
Excitement and apprehension filled his mind as he couldn't help but wonder what kind of sight would manifest in front of him!
While taking his first step through the world bridge, he felt a familiar blindfold covering his eyes, making it impossible for him to see anything.
This was something Jason had expected, so only a moment later, he released his stigma and injected a faint trace of mana into his eyes before the blindfold slowly dispersed.
Looking around, he saw the overly familiar stars surrounding him and noticed that several of them were shining brighter than others.
Suddenly, Jason's eyes widened and he couldn't help but smile as he saw three different types of energy swirling within the large space.
It was only after he had undergone the primal awakening of his bloodline that several new changes had occurred and it was the first time since then that he had entered a world bridge.
Two among the three energies looked familiar to him and he realised that they were in fact mana and primordial energy.
Jason assumed the last, unknown energy to be the spiritual force that was, in fact, used to cultivate in the path of wisdom. It was also called Spiral and was used to strengthen one's mind for various purposes.
However, what caught Jason by surprise was that when he turned around, Argos was releasing dense mana currents, enveloping it in a faint membrane.
This membrane should be the world's protection layer that safeguards the planet from outside invaders and at the same time prevents too many strong world bridges from manifesting.
At least, that was what Jason had learned from the books he had read inside Janur's library.
It could be wrong, but it was unlikely because the Elvyr race's world bridge had drained lots of mana that had probably thinned the world's protection layer which in return allowed more world bridges to manifest.
That was interesting, but at the same time made Jason feel like he was missing something.
'If the space is filled with all three energies, why is there no primordial energy or spiritual force on Argos?'
This could have many answers, but Jason did not think further about it.
Instead, he turned his head back to the front, where a huge floating island, enveloped by a dome could be seen.
The sight in front of him was interesting and the broken world's appearance was truly similar to that of a piece belonging to a destroyed world!
Jason smiled lightly at the sight of the broken world and the dense mana currents that enveloped the dome before filling it to the brim.
If he had to estimate the mana density and also purity based on his sight alone, the mana vein below Cyro City, which was the mana densest place Jason had been to, he might consider Argos to have one third in both mana density and purity.
This was shocking, but at the same time, it told Jason that Argos was a planet that was scarce of places with dense mana!!
He had heard that the broken world had characteristics comparable to the planet of some immigrant races who had found themselves a new home because of external factors most didn't want to speak about.
Even those that had fled were accustomed to a mana density several times higher than Argos. They had to overcome many trials other than building everything from scratch in a world that was not only unfamiliar to them but also lacking what they needed the most; cultivation resources.
Despite the loss they had to overcome, the Olympus federation was going strong. However, at the same time, those immigrants who had come to Argos could have only been the youngest generation because those who were older, shouldn't have been able to step through the world bridges due to the strict restrictions.
All of this information helped Jason to construct a big picture of common races, the Olympus federation, and the importance of the broken world in his mind.
'If mankind were to make a treaty with the Olympus federation, the broken world will become a blessing and a curse at the same time!'
Even though that was the case, Jason's mind was fixated on the several channels his Emperor Eyes perceived all around the broken world.
They were likely to be the other world bridges, but before he could think about anything, he was drawn outside the world bridge.
A moment later he emerged from the world bridge and stepped into the broken world filled with dense mana and a flourishing environment.
The moment Jason took the first step he was enveloped in dense mana that swept through his body, invigorating him.
It was an addictive sensation and Jason couldn't help but smile brightly.
He was still wearing the mask, but it didn't hinder him in any way. As such, he had decided to continue wearing it until he would leave the broken world again.
There was no way for him to know what kind of races he would encounter after all, and Jason wanted to avoid attracting too much attention.
This didn't include his enormous mana absorption, which he wouldn't restrict while having extremely dense and pure mana all around him.
A guard who noticed him looked at his permission ticket before leading him to a place where he could rest.
After that Jason was led to a guide who would explain everything to him in detail.
He had been under the impression that there would be nothing special he had to pay attention to, but he had just been proven wrong.
There was a war zone in the center of the broken world, allowing the cultivators to fight each other!
