Chapter 384: Space
Chapter 384: Space
'This item was originally my spoils of war... The Ethereal Immortal Palace sent it, first to win my favor, and second, perhaps to hinder my cultivation with a secondary incarnation...'
Fang Xing thought to himself.
'As for this secondary incarnation? I won't bother cultivating it...'
He had previously used the Ten Thousand Dharma Demon Infant as a temporary measure, but now that his main body's cultivation had surpassed that of the second Yuan Ying, he would definitely discard it after using it.
Having made up his mind, Fang Xing looked at Gu Zunzhe, "This gift list is not bad, but it lacks one item that my true self desires the most."
"Oh? What might that be?"
Gu Zunzhe's mind went blank, and he forced himself to reply.
"Of course, it's the Ethereal Void Scripture."
Fang Xing spoke up.
"That's impossible!"
Gu Zunzhe subconsciously refused.
"Then I can only flatten the Ethereal Immortal Palace and take their inheritance."
Fang Xing, with a smile in his voice, said the coldest words, "Don't even think about destroying it in advance or making other threats. I am quite knowledgeable about soul-searching techniques and would like to try soul-searching for the true self!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zunzhe fell silent, "Please... give me some time to consider."
"Of course, but within a month, I want to see results."
After Fang Xing finished speaking, he glanced at a certain spot in the void and transformed into a ray of light, disappearing into the distance.
From that spot in the void, a young man holding a Two Worlds Banner emerged—it was Jin Zunzhe!
"Dark Whale is too much! He actually discovered my existence... His perception of the void is truly astonishing."
Jin Zunzhe said, "Is this why Senior Brother Gu doesn't want us to join forces and take down this person together?"
"Since he dares to come, he must be carrying the Wuji Demon Palace, and he will be able to hold out until Fang Yun Venerable arrives..."
At that time, we will all be turned into dust, and the Ethereal Immortal Palace will also lose its inheritance."
After a moment of silence, Gu Zunzhe said.
"Senior Brother Gu, are you considering a compromise?"
Jin Zunzhe heard a hint of hidden meaning and was surprised.
"Under someone's roof, one must bow their head."
Gu Zunzhe said, "Even if we use the sect's grand formation to defend... I'm afraid the outcome won't be much better. Those two Divine Transformation Cultivators are stronger than the old Meng Devil!"
Upon hearing this, even Jin Zunzhe fell silent.
Especially when he thought of the second incarnation of the old Meng Devil dying before his very eyes, even a Divine Transformation Cultivator would shudder...
...
Ten days later.
Death God Island.
After sending away the Fire Dragon True Monarch, a golden silk jade book appeared in Fang Xing's hand.
"Hehe... This is all the face the Holy Land has left."
He sighed and immersed himself in the comprehension of the Ethereal Void Scripture.
The Ethereal Void Scripture was written in a unique script, different from the golden seal script of the Spirit Void Sword Scripture and the heavenly demon secret seal of the Demon King Nine Strategies. It was said to be the 'Cloud Seal Script' passed down from the Upper Plane!
To explain the Void Path, one must use a special script to better convey the 'Dao Rhyme' within.
In Fang Xing's understanding, the golden seal script, heavenly demon secret seal, and cloud seal script were all different programming languages, each explaining various spatial structures from different perspectives.
Each script represented a great power's understanding of space.
By combining them, he could gain a more comprehensive insight into space...
Of course, fully comprehending the spatial laws was still a distant goal.
But at least, he was on the right path.
"I must enter seclusion immediately!"
"I've already gathered most of the useful things from this world. Next, I need to enter seclusion... to continuously comprehend the various spatial structures recorded in these three Essence Refinement lineages, and then use them to form my own spatial insights!"
"This seems to require some scientific research assistance from the main universe..."
Fang Xing's Immortal Warrior incarnation, holding the three lineages, immediately entered a deep state of seclusion.
...
Main Universe.
Blue Star.
"Boss, as you instructed, three top experts in spatial technology have been recruited, and they have each started their own research projects. Here is the funding approval report."
Victoria still preferred calling Fang Xing 'Boss' and projected several documents.
Fang Xing glanced at them and saw that they were all talents cultivated by Blue Star University, each with unique insights into spatial research.
He nodded, "Let's go... and meet this William."
After several minutes.
Inside a laboratory.
The four walls were spotlessly clean, emitting a pure white light.
William, a young man with golden hair, appeared to be in his twenties but was actually over a hundred years old.
"Chancellor, how may I be of service to you?"
Upon seeing Fang Xing, William immediately bowed.
Fang Xing liked people like him, understanding and with solid technical skills, could succeed anywhere.
"I've discovered some interesting spatial structures that should greatly benefit the Federation's spatial research..."
Fang Xing entered the laboratory and picked up an apple.
Then...
After a flash of silver light, the apple in his hand shrank hundreds of times, becoming extremely miniature.
"This... is spatial folding technology?"
William's eyes widened, "Wait... Chancellor, how did you do that?"
The spatial generator had yet to be activated..."
"I've gained insight into spatial structures through another method, and then used my own mental power to manipulate it..."
Fang Xing smiled.
He had already comprehended the mysteries of fire, and now, with his further understanding of spatial insights, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
This was even more proof of his exceptional talent!
"I call it 'Spatial Insight'. This spatial folding technology should be quite useful... What I need you to do is research it, deepen your understanding, and then identify the commonalities among several spatial structures, reverse-engineering a comprehensive spatial model..."
A silver light appeared on Fang Xing's fingertip, forming an intricate spatial structure in the form of silver seal script.
Upon seeing this spatial structure, William's gaze was completely captivated, unable to look away.
For a spatial researcher like him, the spatial structure that Fang Xing demonstrated was no different from the truth.
"Don't worry about funding. Your lab's research focus will be on this spatial folding structure!"
Fang Xing smiled.
Even if it required substantial investment, there needed to be competition to select the best team.
Moreover, with scholars specializing in different spatial directions, it would save a significant amount of time.
"No problem, Your Excellency Chancellor. I will deliver results in the shortest time possible."
William nodded eagerly.
"Hmm... Then it will depend on you to quickly put it into practice."
Fang Xing nodded, "I hope to apply this technology and integrate it into my mech as soon as possible..."
In this world, mech engineers were experts in various fields, and the higher their cultivation realm, the more they tended to engage in research, often incorporating their findings into their mechs.
Especially after reaching the Ninth Realm, there was no standardized path; everything depended on individual research directions and natural enhancements.
Many even had their own secret techniques, forming unique schools of thought.
Now, with Fang Xing's breakthrough in Spatial Insight and his application of spatial technology to the Black Death Number, it was quite normal.
"My request is simple. I want both theoretical breakthroughs and practical results... If the testing is successful, I will entrust you with the second phase of the Black Death Number's modification, and you will be rewarded accordingly, regardless of the contribution to the academy."
Fang Xing smiled slightly, making a promise.
Although the Black Death Number was just a transitional model, it still possessed the strength of the Tenth Realm, and its defense was quite impressive.
The only drawback was its excessive size.
This often led to many inconveniences.
However, with the application of spatial folding technology, the future looked promising.
Fang Xing's idea was to miniaturize the mech to the size of a regular figurine or even a single drop of water.
It could be carried around and directly integrated into clothing when needed.
If the Federation's spatial technology could achieve this level of mech miniaturization, it would be considered a successful breakthrough.
"Alright, I will do my best."
William assured him.
"Yes, I will provide you with ongoing technical guidance and support, although... it will only be in the area of Spatial Insight."
Fang Xing smiled and left the lab.
As he made his way back to the villa, a communication call came through, and it was from Nangong Xue.
"What earth-shattering thing have you come up with now?" Nangong Xue asked curiously, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses that resembled the bottom of a wine bottle.
"It's nothing much, just a Spatial Insight similar to the mysteries of fire..."
Fang Xing reinforced his genius persona, "You know... I was stuck with the mysteries of fire, so I started researching other insights, hoping to gain a broader understanding... I didn't expect to have some talent in Spatial Insight. I've already comprehended three basic spatial structures, and now I'm looking for someone to research them further..."
"You really are..."
Nangong Xue was speechless.
Previously, when Fang Xing 'pioneered' the mysteries of fire, it had shocked the entire Federation.
Unfortunately, he seemed to have hit a bottleneck later on, unable to continue innovating.
This situation was quite normal.
Most of the high-level professions in the Federation were not developed by just one or two people.
Many of them started with a genius's initial breakthrough, but then progress stalled, and the 'Omniscient Brain' would collect the data. After an unknown amount of time, with technological breakthroughs or another genius's flash of insight, the profession would be completed and a new one forged.
In the eyes of many Federation professionals, Fang Xing's initiation of the mysteries of fire was already an impressive feat.
It had pushed the Martial Artist profession forward significantly and laid the foundation for future breakthroughs in the Martial Deity realm.
However, it was also natural to encounter a stalemate after extensive research.
What surprised Nangong Xue was that after Fang Xing became the chancellor and entered politics, he hadn't spent much time cultivating, yet he had made a breakthrough in Spatial Insight!
This was truly astonishing.
And... it was in the field of space, the Federation's weak point! If he could become an academic authority in spatial research, the future benefits would be countless.
