Chapter 266: This is Utter Madness
Chapter 266: This is Utter Madness
In a certain area of the Zhenguo region, mountains loomed like colossal dragons, their energy gathering at the head, as if poised to soar into the skies.
Fang Hao approached with a soldier's box on his back, his face lit up with excitement. This place resembled a natural formation of the grand cosmos, a perfect spot to set up the Heaven and Earth Strange Gate, drawing the energy of the cosmos and the mountains into his body, and achieving a breakthrough.
He slapped the soldier's box behind him, and several rays of light flew out, scattering in all directions.
Then, he took out the Strange Gate treasure, specially crafted for the arrangement of the Strange Gate formation, and began setting it up.
Li Xuan watched quietly from the shadows. Although the Strange Gate soldier's box had been successfully refined, Fang Hao had not yet cultivated his divine intent. Thus, he couldn't open the box with a mere thought and still needed to rely on his true yuan to activate it.
"Fang Hao is about to condense the Heaven and Earth strange pattern in his dantian, which should be the divine intent strange pattern, giving birth to the Strange Gate divine intent."
"However..." Li Xuan hesitated, "Although Fang Hao possesses the power to comprehend the profound due to his Grand Master status before practicing the Strange Gate martial arts, corresponding to the Grand Master realm, there is something unique about him being the first Strange Gate warrior."
Fang Hao was the pioneer of the Strange Gate martial arts, and thus, there were some peculiarities. His entry-level status was on par with his original martial arts realm.
Normally, the first Heaven and Earth strange pattern should correspond to the Innate realm.
"If I'm not mistaken, Fang Hao will condense two Heaven and Earth strange patterns during this breakthrough, making up for the one that should have corresponded to the Comprehend the Profound realm." Li Xuan thought.
Fang Hao had already set up the Heaven and Earth Strange Gate and was in the process of drawing the energy of the cosmos into his body, condensing the next strange pattern.
Boom!
The might of the mountains converged, and the energy of the cosmos gently blew like a breeze, constantly being drawn towards Fang Hao.
This place was located in a remote and sparsely populated wilderness.
Although there was some noise, it went unnoticed.
"Your disciple, Fang Hao, has condensed the second Heaven and Earth strange pattern, and you have obtained the second Innate strange pattern."
Just as Li Xuan had guessed, during this breakthrough, Fang Hao made up for the Heaven and Earth strange pattern that should have corresponded to the Comprehend the Profound realm.
And Fang Hao continued to break through.
"Is it because of the Grand Dao Golden Book that the pioneer of each martial arts path enjoys some special treatment?" Li Xuan mused as he looked at the Grand Dao Golden Book in his consciousness.
Chu Mao, the pioneer of Demon Beast martial arts and the first grand demon beast, also had some unique qualities.
Boom!
In the mountains, clouds and mist surged, gathering towards Fang Hao's location.
The energy of the cosmos became more intense, as if there was a gathering of the will of Heaven and Earth.
Within the mist, thunder rumbled, as if a tribulation was approaching.
Li Xuan's eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
"The Divine Intent realm... When I created the Strange Gate martial arts, I intended for it to condense the will of Heaven and Earth as my own will. Could it be that during Fang Hao's breakthrough, as he condenses the Strange Gate divine intent, he is also gathering the will of Heaven and Earth?"
As the mist drew closer and thunder rumbled, it truly resembled a tribulation.
Of course, this was just a phenomenon caused by the convergence of the might of the mountains and the stirring of the energy of the cosmos, condensing into the will of Heaven and Earth. It was not a real tribulation.
"Whether it's the Strange Gate martial arts or the physical martial arts... Even though the cultivation and systems are different, their foundation still follows the pure martial arts path."
"Xu Yan condensed the will of Heaven and Earth as his own will, successfully comprehending the Divine Intent realm. As a result, he opened up this realm of cultivation, allowing later practitioners to condense their divine intent."
"This is true even if the martial arts systems are different." Li Xuan pondered.
Fang Hao's breakthrough was smooth and effortless. Although he would experience some pressure and even pain in his mental consciousness during the condensation of the third Heaven and Earth strange pattern, he could break through successfully as long as he persevered.
"Your disciple, Fang Hao, has condensed the third Heaven and Earth talisman, and you have obtained the third Innate talisman."
Boom!
In Li Xuan's consciousness, a profound and mysterious talisman appeared, as if innate, existing within his consciousness.
"Your Strange Gate martial arts have advanced to the Divine Yuan realm."
With the appearance of the third Innate talisman, Li Xuan's already powerful divine intent underwent another significant enhancement, and his Strange Gate martial arts also advanced to the Divine Yuan realm.
Now, all four martial arts paths had reached the Divine Yuan realm, further increasing his strength.
After Fang Hao's breakthrough, he solidified his realm a little and then excitedly practiced with the Strange Gate soldier's box.
With a thought, the soldier's box opened, and various Strange Gate weapons flew out. Within his divine intent, formations, sword formations, and the Heaven and Earth Strange Gate changed according to his will and the situation.
At this moment, Fang Hao truly experienced the power of the Strange Gate martial arts.
With a single thought, a grand formation emerged, burying his enemies!
"Not bad. Now that you've condensed your divine intent, your path in the Strange Gate martial arts will be much smoother from now on. Strive to forge your own path in the Strange Gate." Li Xuan appeared and spoke.
"Yes, Master!" Fang Hao was thrilled.
His master had been secretly protecting him during his breakthrough.
"From now on, before attempting a breakthrough, set up a grand formation to protect yourself." Li Xuan looked around and instructed.
"Disciple understands!" Fang Hao replied respectfully.
"Mhm." Li Xuan nodded and turned to return to the manor.
Fang Hao followed closely behind.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Junior Brother!" Su Lingxiu said with a smile when they returned to the manor.
"If it weren't for Senior Sister's pills, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly. Thank you, Senior Sister," Fang Hao said with a shy smile.
After the breakthrough, the next step was to take action against the Jade Spirit Sect.
Moreover, he would also take charge of the Jade State Alliance of the Eternal Alliance and lead its members to carve out a place for themselves.
Fang Hao took out a communication token and contacted Yu Gao to gather information about the outside world.
Then, he began to delve into the way of talismans.
After condensing his divine intent, whether it was refining artifacts or setting up formations, his abilities had improved tremendously. He could now utilize some Strange Gate techniques and unleash their basic power.
After five days of research and repeated experiments, wasting some materials, the first talisman formation was born.
It was a Misty Mist Formation Talisman! Once activated, it would generate a layer of mist that enveloped people, obscuring their sight and blocking their senses and spiritual power.
"I finally succeeded!"
Although the Mist Talisman was ordinary and inexpensive, it represented a breakthrough from zero to one.
The successful refinement of this Mist Talisman meant that his understanding of the way of talismans was correct.
He could now use the same method to refine other jade talismans with different effects.
At the moment Fang Hao refined the Mist Talisman, the Grand Dao Golden Book in Li Xuan's consciousness opened.
"Your disciple has enlightened the way of talisman refining, and you have obtained the True Understanding of the Talisman Dao!"
Li Xuan was delighted. The method Fang Hao had devised for refining jade talismans involved setting up formations within the talismans and sealing the formation's power with restrictions, locking the formation within the talisman.
Once activated, the restrictions would be released, and the sealed formation power would be unleashed.
It must be said that Fang Hao had an extraordinary talent for artifact refinement.
...
"Brother Xu, Brother Meng, we meet again!" Shen Haizhou looked at Xu Yan and Meng Chong, feeling amazed.
"Are you sure about this?" Yu Gao asked, his face covered in cold sweat.
The three martial brothers shot him a disdainful glance. This former leader of the Myriad Ages Alliance was truly timid!
"Yu Hao, if the Myriad Ages Alliance continues to hide in the shadows, we will lose our ambition, our passion, and our courage," Fang Hao sighed. "Without passion, courage, or ambition, even if the Alliance resurfaces, it will have lost its fighting spirit. We can't forget to cause trouble in secret, even as we bide our time and develop!"
It seemed that for the Myriad Ages Alliance to thrive, it would depend on him, the new leader.
"Alright, I will obey the leader's orders!" Yu Gao gritted his teeth and replied.
The leader was right; they must not lose their passion, courage, or ambition.
"That's more like it," Fang Hao said, taking out a dozen jade talismans and handing them to Yu Gao. "These are Mist Talismans. When activated, they will create a large cloud of confusing mist that impedes the enemy's senses and spiritual power, giving us a chance to escape."
Yu Gao's eyes widened in shock as he took the talismans. Aside from the transmission talismans, there were indeed other wondrous items!
"Go ahead and try it out, get familiar with it," Fang Hao instructed.
"Yes, leader!" Yu Gao took a talisman, shot it into the air, and activated it. With a boom, a thick mist descended, enveloping an area of several dozen feet. He probed with his spiritual power, but it couldn't penetrate the mist.
