Chapter 2142  Lack of Heaven

Alex\'s eyes widened slightly. "Oaths don\'t work? In what way? Just swearing or…"

"Everything about oaths in general don\'t work out in space," Silvermist said. "If you speak it, it doesn\'t work. If you break it, it doesn\'t hurt you."

Alex frowned. He had not even considered the possibility of things being different out in space and he was already hearing something so vastly important being changed.

Silvermist seemed to take Alex\'s frown in a different meaning and added, "Don\'t worry about the oath brother Grim spoke to you. Because he ate the pill I made, he won\'t be able to break it even if he wants to," he said.

"Oh…" Alex hadn\'t even considered that. He trusted Grimsight enough now to know he wouldn\'t knowingly try to harm him. The man just wasn\'t that sort of person.

Still, it was good to know that he couldn\'t let out his secret.

"Can we feed someone that pill and let them speak the oath in space?" Alex asked.

Silvermist shook his head. "The pill only aids the oath, it doesn\'t form it. So unless you are in a realm, it won\'t work," he said.

"I see," Alex said. "Then I will have to be careful if people can just go to space to break their oath."

"Well, they can\'t just go to space to break their oath," Silvermist said. "If breaking their oath is their Intent, they will struggle to leave for space or even tell others about it."

Alex nodded as that did make sense.

"And!" Silvermist added with rather exclamation to his voice. "If they do somehow break their oath in space, while nothing will happen to them immediately, they will suffer the consequences when they return to any realm other than mortal realms."

Alex was taken aback slightly. "Wait, so they still get punished when they return?" he asked.

"Yes," Silvermist said. "They can\'t just get away with breaking an oath they made to Heaven. When they return, they will be punished. Although, many choose to remain away after that and never return to the world."

Alex was confused for a moment upon hearing that. "Choose to remain away? Where would they stay?" he asked.

Silvermist smiled. "There are many places in this world where people can live that is not a realm," he said. "You will learn about them in due time."

Alex slowly nodded, not knowing what else to say.

"Aside from oath, Dao takes a big dip in usability as well," Silvermist added as though it was not that important information. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"I\'m sorry?" Alex asked. "Does Dao stop working?"

Silvermist nodded. "Try using a Dao right now," he said.

Alex immediately used fire Dao to create a tongue of flame. The tongue of flame appeared on top of his palm with no issue, which confused him. The Dao did work, obviously. But then, upon closer inspection of what was happening to the flame revealed that while Dao worked, the aid one got from Heaven was no longer there.

As such, Dao in general was much weaker than when used down in one of the realms.

In other words, in space, you could only rely on yourself when it came to everything.

"I understand, master," Alex said. Silvermist couldn\'t help but grin. "It\'s good having a disciple like you. I don\'t have to explain much at all."

"I am curious about something though," he said. "Is Dao not something that belongs to the heaven? Why can we use it out in space, even though it is by ourselves?"

"Dao belongs to heaven?" Silvermist asked. "Who said that?"

Alex frowned. "The Worldly laws that descend upon us when we learn a new Dao come from heaven. Does that not mean it belongs to heaven?"

Silvermist took a moment to think. "You are not exactly wrong. Heaven helps us to learn it and use it, but that does not mean that Dao itself belongs to it. It would be more appropriate to say that Doa is a property of the entire world, so it belongs to the entire world. Even if you are in space, you are still within this world, so you can use it."

"You could say Dao is a property of Qi itself," Grimsight said from the side.

Alex nodded, understanding more and more about space. Leaving behind Heaven truly changed quite a few things.

"What else?" Alex asked.

Silvermist thought for a bit and smiled. "There is one thing I want to try, but we can\'t do that right now. Let us first complete our journey to the Ever Dark realm and I will tell you about it when we return."

Alex wanted to learn more, but he couldn\'t say no to his master. He simply nodded and continued his journey to the realm again.

A few hours had passed since he began his journey when he noticed that he could see some features of the world above it. It didn\'t look as dark as it did before.

It was still incredibly dark, but there were hints of texture he could begin to see. He asked the other two about it and they said that the reason everything was so dark when viewed from the ground was because they were viewing it relative to the light around where they stood.

Viewing something that was barely reflecting light from a place where torches and lanterns filled the area wouldn\'t let them see the world above them that clearly. Not only that, the air also blocked what little light came down, making it impossible to see anything other than darkness.

Now, however, since he was in space, with no light pollution affecting him, he could see everything so very clearly.

"It would\'ve been much clearer had the world not been filled with Yin," Silvermist said. "The lightless property of Yin makes everything darker itself."

Alex nodded slowly.

He checked his talisman and saw that he was going to be too late in reaching the realm above him in just a single day as he had planned. However, reaching the realm itself was going to be difficult as he could already begin feeling Yin seeping into the space around him.

It was going to get stronger as he continued forward.

They continued for about 3 more hours, in which time the space grew colder than before.

"Disciple, stop for a second," Silvermist suddenly said.

Alex slowed down, turning to look at his master. "Yes, master?" he asked.

"Have you looked back at the world we left at all?" Silvermist asked.

"I did a while ago. Is there something I—"

Alex turned to look back at the world and his words got caught up in his mouth. He stopped and stared back at the world he had left behind, now finally seeing it for what it was.

For the first time ever in his life, Alex saw what lay on the back of a realm.
