Chapter 889: Black Smoke
Sage found himself staring at a battlefield. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
With the close up view of the thermal vent, he felt like he was standing at the edge of a war, a war without end. Heat spewed out endlessly from the vent, smashing up against the collective coolness of the entirety of the ocean. What was most stunning was the difference of expectation to reality. His understanding of heat at its most basic level was from Earth, and in his memory it had to do with the motion of atoms. When something was hotter the atoms within it were moving more energetically than something cooler. These atoms were constantly bumping into all the atoms around them and transferring their heat energy to them like pool balls bumping into each other. As they collided into more and more atoms they transferred their energy and started to slow down. In this way the heat slowly distributed outwards, transferring to those things that were nearby.
Something that was really hot would warm up everything around it and cool down in the process.
It was only after staring at this crack in the seabed for a while that he remembered a few details hed forgotten for so long. The heat didnt just expand outwards like an aura, it was drawn rapidly upwards. The smoke that was shooting upwards from the vent wasnt just caused by the mixing of a certain chemical with the water. That might have given its color, but the reason it was shooting upwards in thin streamers and moving towards the giant cloud above was caused by the heat. A few concepts that hed long forgotten suddenly clicked. There was a very simple saying: heat rises. The heated water expanded, becoming less dense and causing it to rise. Air bubbles always rose up to the surface and air was of extremely low density. The constantly rising warm water created a current, pulling all the heated water upward far more rapidly than just the slow spread of heat would do without the fluid medium.
None of these distinctions mattered to anyone else, but they were vital to his understanding of the Thermal Law that he comprehended. There was also the fact that he had only scratched the surface of this deep field. Adapting the knowledge he had from another world was helpful but it was not the whole picture. Sage wasnt sure if that was because the Laws were different here or if it was simply because the learning of Earth was still only a small part of the real whole.
Whatever the reason, the sudden distinction between different types of thermal transfer seemed to open a door for him. Combining his detailed study of the thermal vent with his own grasp over Laws led to discover new subtleties and nuances. Laws went beyond merely logical ideas or rational thought. His understanding of such concepts were merely used as a guide for him to feel the correct way forward with the Thermodynamic Law. To resonate and control a law was more of a feeling, which was why it was very difficult to pass down to others. To make it worse it wasnt related to emotions, nor the sense of touch. You had to find that feeling with your Qi, something that was much harder than it sounded. Qi was more akin to a power source, like blood flowing through the veins, not a sensory organ. This is why Spirit Power was so commonly used for Professions to provide the delicate touch and feedback needed. Even with such a wondrous natural event in front of him to use as a reference it wasnt a simple task.
Nascent Souls were rare for a reason.
Things were different for Sage. He already discovered this Thermal Law in Icefire Valley and the return of old memories were enough to get a foot in the door. With these factors working in his favor he rapidly progressed his understanding. Sage carefully felt out minute and subtle variations with his Qi, slowly gaining a stronger connection with the Primal Law he had comprehended. On the Inner World he was constantly experimenting with the changes hed discovered, testing and retesting. There was a strange quirk of the Inner World in that he couldnt use it to discover new Laws or even to improve his existing ones. Other residents of the Inner World could, but as the creator of this world he was restricted. Sage had no idea why this was the case, but there wasnt much he could do about it. It was a shame he couldnt use the Inner World to try to advance his cultivation directly, but he could still use it to train what hed already earned.
