《World Of Swords》103 : Grain of Sand
Advertisement
Inside of a spacious room in her cave abode, Xu Yue sat crosslegged, deep in meditation, but even so, an indecisive look still appeared on her face.
At this time, Xu Yue's Boundless sword dao seemed to continuously morph, with countless small changes happening within it.
In a mere moment, Xu Yue's dao began condensing, almost becoming a small seed, only being stopped by Xu Yue herself.
"Should or should I not include it," thought Xu Yue as the nearly formed Dao seed instantly reverted back to it's original state.
As this happened, a small amount of frustration appeared on Xu Yue's face.
"Damn it, I will do it, I will comprehend it before condensing this damn seed," thought Xu Yue as she steeled herself as to comprehend the Dao of Fate before entering the seed stage.
As time passed, Xu Yue seemed to have fully calmed down, no expression could be seen on her face, but unknown to the Heavenly Dao who was looking at her at the moment, right now, she was extremely shocked.
"Is something wrong with my Dao," thought Xu Yue as she wondered the reason her intuition had acted up before.
"Impossible, that's absolutely impossible," thought Xu Yue as she silently tried to divine what was happening.
Silently gritting her teeth, Xu Yue did not show the horrible pain she was feeling on her face.
Xu Yue's soul shook slightly as an untold amount of useless information flooded it, causing even her extremely solid soul to slightly shake, Xu Yue could not describe the pain she was feeling right now, everything she had ever faced before, including the trial pagoda, seemed utterly insignificant before it.
Of course, the Xu Yue of right now could not be compared with the Xu Yue that took the trial pagoda in any regard, the difference between their pain resistance could not be compared with clouds and mud.

"At least clouds and mud exist in the same world," thought Xu Yue before even that small thought was completely submerged in the sea of information.
"I really messed up here," thought Xu Yue as even more useless information continued being poured into her mind.
An unknown amount of time later, Xu Yue discovered an absolutely enormous amount of information, compared to the other junk, this one was completely delivered to her in one go, causing her blank face to almost crack into a painful scowl.
Three months later,
A bitter feeling emerged in Xu Yue's heart as she finished going through an insignificant amount of the information chunk.
A single grain of sand
She learned absolutely everything about a grain of sand, every single thing from it's position to everything else about it, every single thing that grain of sand interacted with, everywhere it went, it's complete exact location every single moment for thousands of years.
Even though this may not seem like much, what needs to be considered is the words exact, every single time people measure something, they use other things to approximate, even using spiritual sense, cultivators do not care and do not have time to check if a grain of sand is a quadrillionth larger or smaller.
Even if someone did that, their measurements would become useless a moment later as the size of the grain of sand varied, unfortunately for Xu Yue, she has to do just that, in the past few months, Xu Yue had learned everything about what had happened to the grain of sand in the past thousands of years.
"I wonder how long it would take me," thought Xu Yue as she felt the billions of years of information about the grain of sand.
Gritting her teeth once again, began slowly pushing the drop of information into a certain direction.

After several days of pushing, the drop finally managed to land in an endless river, becoming an insignificant part of it.
Breathing a small sigh of relief, Xu Yue managed to use a small amount of her soul to begin thinking.
"The Heavenly Dao," thought Xu Yue as she looked at the tiny, absolutely insignificant hole she poked in the river of fate.
Based on what she knew, only the Heavenly Dao could hide information that deep in the river of fate, causing Xu Yue to accidentally create a hole.
"This isn't really a problem isn't it," thought Xu Yue as she smiled and came up with her good idea.
Feeling the information flowing to her soul at a faster rate than three months ago, Xu Yue measured the increase before feeling the strength of her soul.
"Since my soul strength is increasing faster, it should be no problem after I get used to having all this information in my mind," thought Xu Yue as she began once again to sunk into meditation.
Yes, Xu Yue's plan was really simple, since the amount of information she is getting is increasing, all she has to do is increase her soul strength according, and, extremely conveniently, she could use that near-endless information to temper her soul.
For such a big problem this was quite an easy solution, of course, this needed a few different things, the most important being, the person doing this needed to increase their soul strength extremely fast.
To put the speed into perspective, in merely three months, Xu Yue had increased her soul strength by over ten percent, such a speed was hundreds or even thousands of times faster than what someone else would be able to achieve in her circumstances
Most of the time someone managed to poke the River of Fate, they would either have their soul instantly crushed, or slowly destroyed by the ever-increasing information, the only way cultivators could use to survive this would be to try to artificially repair the hole using treasures.
If the cultivator dies, not having any place to go, the information will be once again caught in the flow of the river of fate and make it repair itself.
This time, Xu Yue continued meditating for more than ten years before opening her eyes.
