The Master of All-Heavens Systems

Chapter 63: The Mall Space as the Foundation

"System, if I plant the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon as a lotus flower, can I still use its power?"The Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon had already transcended the tribulation of this world and was accepted by it, so next time he used its power, he wouldn't have to worry about tribulations. Such immense power, Li Yu was reluctant to waste."The Mall Space is the foundation of the user. Everything within the space is under the user's control, and the user can freely utilize any power within it.""Is that so?"Upon hearing the system's explanation, Li Yu sighed with relief. If planting the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon as a lotus wouldn't affect his ability to use its power, then it was acceptable.Taking a stroll through the garden of the Immortal Mansion, Li Yu selected a suitable spot."Here will do."Walking to a hollow by a hill, Li Yu pointed, "Construct a lotus pond using the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool as the base.""Clang!"It sounded like thousands of long swords clashing, producing a resonant sword chime.The enormous Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool flew out from the resource repository, with shimmering water surging in mid-air. Countless sword lights spiraled and howled, and a sharp, icy aura filled the air, causing one to shiver.An invisible force restrained the entire Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool. Despite the increasing intensity of the sword chimes, it could not break free from the invisible confinement.The Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool slowly descended to the ground.From the earth, a swirl of profound yellow energy rose, circling the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool. Then, a brilliant light ascended."Rumble, rumble..."The ground shook violently for a moment, then calmed.In an instant, the light dissipated, revealing a meandering, crystal-clear lotus pond before Li Yu.The lotus pond, winding like a sleeping dragon, had an ancient stone railing around its edge, and a stone path outside the railing meandered through the forest, creating a serene and secluded scene."It's done."Seeing the tranquil and elegant lotus pond, Li Yu smiled, walking to its edge and dipping his hand in the water, stirring it slightly. Ripples spread, water splashing."After the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool transformed into a lotus pond, the water, filled with infinite sword energy, looks like ordinary water."Li Yu observed the water droplets on his hand with surprise. As the space controller, he knew this was just an appearance.The sword energy within the Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool had not diminished at all. Previously, it was like water as sword light, but now the sword light had become water, indistinguishable from ordinary lake water.When Li Yu stirred the water, it was because he was the space controller and thus immune to any attack from the space's power. If someone else dared to touch the lake water, they would instantly be shredded by the sword energy."It seems I need to set up a safety protocol to avoid accidental injuries. If Tingting ever comes to play in the water, the consequences would be..."Thinking of this, Li Yu quickly set up a protection protocol for Tingting to prevent any accidental harm.With the lotus pond ready, it was time to plant the lotus flower."Planting the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon as a lotus, this is..."Holding the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon in his hand, Li Yu hesitated for a moment. "Well, I can still use its power. Even if I need to use it as a weapon, I can always retrieve it."Exhaling deeply, Li Yu threw the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon into the lotus pond."The lotus seed has been planted, beginning activation."With the system's mechanical voice, the chaotic energy at the Mall Space's boundary surged, like a gray dragon, rushing into the lotus pond."Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."The Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon, floating motionless in the pond, began to change under the impact of the chaotic energy.Emerald green lotus leaves spread rapidly, and pink lotus flowers bloomed, emanating a vast, boundless life force.Green lotus leaves spread throughout the pond, and pink lotus flowers bloomed. In no time, the pond was filled with countless lotuses."The chaotic energy activated the life force of the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon, causing it to grow again."Watching this, Li Yu pondered. Legend had it that the Azure Emperor's body was the Chaotic Green Lotus, and this seemed to confirm that.After the pond was filled with lotuses, the chaotic energy dispersed, returning to the space boundary.Before Li Yu lay a vast lotus pond filled with blooming lotuses."Endless green lotus leaves reach the sky, reflecting the red flowers in the sunlight."Looking at the scene, Li Yu couldn't help but recite the poem.The lotuses seemed numerous, but in reality, there was still only one. Though the pond was filled with lotuses, they were all part of the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon."This pond of lotuses holds immense power."The Immortal Sword Heavenly Pool formed the lake water, and the Azure Emperor's weapon formed the lotuses—how extravagant!"The system said I could freely use all the power in the Mall Space; this is no exaggeration."With a thought, sword lights swirled around his fingertips like fish, moving as he willed, more agile and easier to control than before.At this moment, Li Yu understood what the system meant by saying the Mall Space was the user's foundation."It turns out that any power within the Mall Space can be used directly without the system's mediation."Previously, all the power Li Yu used required the system's mediation. For example, when Li Yu wanted to fly using light, the process was as follows:First, select an energy source, like the power contained in the crocodile ancestor's body or the demon emperor's heart. Then, the system would extract the energy to drive the chosen flying technique.As a result, all the power Li Yu used needed the system's mediation to be utilized.But now it was different.If Li Yu wanted to fly now, he could directly call on the sword flight technique from the lotus pond. He could also draw power from the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon to cross mountains and rivers.Understanding this, Li Yu realized he could use far more than he had imagined.For instance, he could call on chaotic energy, yin-yang energy, and profound yellow energy, even the wisdom-enhancing power of the Enlightenment Bodhi Tree."Indeed, it's the foundation."Li Yu was delighted.The Mall Space was only in its initial stages, with the main construction barely completed, yet it already brought such benefits.In the future, as the system sold across all worlds, gathering resources from various realms, how powerful could the Mall Space become? With it as the foundation, how strong would Li Yu become?"The Mall Space is the foundation, no doubt, but my cultivation is the true core."Li Yu extended his palm before him, smiling, "The Mall Space may be powerful, but it is still an external aid. True strength comes from within.""It seems I need to stay at Cangwu Academy for a while longer."Continuing.
