Chapter 2193 A Bridge Plane
Chapter 2193 A Bridge Plane
Lin Mu's work was stunning as well as beautiful to those watching. It was like a master painter making an artwork that was almost like breathing life into scripture.
And at Lin Mu's final step, they were awed.
"This…" All those that saw the land mass appearing were left stunned.
The landmass seemingly appeared from the void and had a mostly linear shape. It was longer than it was broad and looks vaguely like a sea slug.
"Closer," Lin Mu pulled the landmass with the brush an anchored it against the Rust Sky World.
The landmass seemed resistant against his actions, but could not resist it. It was pulled along and trembled a bit before finally settling in a specific position.
~CLANG~CLANG~
As if metal nails had been hammered, the landmass was locked against the Rust Sky world. It now layered above the Rust Sky World and once could see through it too, as it was translucent when needed.
"You matched the topography?" Ziran observed.
The new landmass was none other than the spatial plane that they were on and was now juxtaposed against a region of the Rust Sky World.
It extended from the Dao Wind Empire all the way to the western shores of the Eight Kingdom alliance. The ocean between the two continents was also part of it, but instead of being water, it was just solid land.
"This is bigger than any continent on the Rust Sky World." Crown Prince Feng Shun said observing it.
"Not just bigger…" Qiao De said feeling quite shocked. "It is a bridge… isn't it?"
"A Bridge Plane… We don't get to see those often." Ziran said narrowing his eyes.
"A hidden Bridge plane to be exact." Lin Mu corrected.
He knew what Bridge planes were and also what their use was.
These were basically natural or artificial spatial planes that were modified by great experts to serve as a bridge between two continents or landmasses. In a way they acted as a short cut when one had to cross an obstacle like an ocean between the continents.
A good comparison for this could technically be the Kong Plane in the Xiaofan world. But that plane was even better since Teleportation relay arrays had been added to it, further increasing their scope.
The difference with a Bridge Plane was the fact that it directly coincided with the locations of a world. As such, if one really wanted to they could simply cut through the fabric of space and arrive in the location they wanted in the world.
The opposite could also be done, and one could enter a Bridge plane from the world as long as it was within the scope of the Bridge Plane's span.
There were certainly restriction to this though.
Exiting and entering the Bridge plane was dangerous as one was still passing through the plane. Though this could be solved by granting special passes that allowed safe entry.
These were usually cheaper than using a teleporting array and could also be issued in large quantities without affecting the stability of the spatial portals.
Then there was the fact that the Bridge Plane was still a different place than a proper world, so the restrictions would change. Depending on the restrictions on cultivation base, some people might be locked out or in of the plane.
Changing these restrictions was also not possible all the time and those that could do this were only in the case of a fully artificial Bridge Plane.
The biggest restriction with it though was the fact that it needed a Spatial Master constantly monitoring it. Since a Bridge plane was still independent, the anchors attaching it could weaken.
Thereby it could drift away, making it just a normal Spatial Plane.
Lin Mu had learned about Bridge Planes but there wasn't much information that he had found on the books he had obtained. It had all mostly been from Senior Xukong.
"To think there was a Bridge Plane in the Rust Sky world… How did we never find out about this?" Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't believe it.
"It has certainly been in existence for a long time, that's for sure." Ziran stated. "Perhaps it has been in existence before the current powers of the Rust Sky world came into being?" He guessed.
"That is what I think too." Lin Mu chimed in here. "If it is like that, it would make sense that the limitations of the Bridge Plane have changed." "Hmmm… According to the memories of your swords, there had been hundreds of people entering it. If it really was a Bridge Plane in the past, and also 'closer' to the Rust Sky World, it would make sense that more could enter it.
An now that it has 'drifted' away, the limitations have increased." Lady Kang analyzed the information.
"Lady Kang is correct." Lin Mu nodded. "I think the time difference between when it was a Bridge Plane and its current state is quite large." He thought.
"The time line must be quite vast for it to be like that." Qiao De said thinking over it.
"We do know that this place was found by a Celestial and turned into a inheritance ground by them. What if… this used to be a Bridge plane originally, but then it drifted way. A Celestial then found it and transformed it into what it is today?" Lady Kang hypothesized.
Her words were impactful and made everyone consider these facts seriously. The more they thought about it, the more likely they found it to be.
They started discussing more about it and tried placing the facts on a rough time line.
After about an hour of discussion or so, they still thought that there were unexplained things in it all.
"Your two swords shouldn't have been here more than ten or twenty thousand years ago." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "The Inheritance ground was also made long before that, at least a hundred thousand years or more." He continued.
