Chapter 388: Eight Years
Blue Planet University.
As the Augustine family's spaceship exploded, Fang Xing was attending an academic conference.
Even though the Federation had vast capabilities, they could only investigate as far as the Head of the Gate Sect, and what did that have to do with him, the Chancellor of Blue Planet University? At this moment, as he quietly listened to the researchers on stage explaining the structure of space, Fang Xing jotted down notes on his notepad, recording the Federation's interesting discoveries.
Although the Federation's spatial technology was weak, they had still made some research progress, such as the 'spatial bubble' technology.
After the Moon Goddess Incident, they had even touched upon the modification of rules within the spatial bubble.
'If the papers on Jin Seal Script, Cloud Seal Script, and Demon King Seal Script are all different interpretations of space by various powerful beings, then the Federation is taking a different approach, explaining space from a scientific perspective...'
'It seems that we cannot guarantee which side is completely correct, and it's possible that all sides are like blind men feeling an elephant. Unless a Dharmaraja Realm powerhouse who has comprehended the Spatial Law personally interprets it...'
Therefore, Fang Xing never missed any of the Federation's spatial academic conferences.
By attending in person, he could also exchange ideas with the presenters and gain many insights.
At this moment, he began to review the information he had obtained from soul-searching James Augustine.
'Psychics... they are indeed untrustworthy, or rather, pure psychics cannot be trusted!'
'If one cultivates in the Martial Way and becomes a Psychic Warrior, they might be more reliable, like the Martial Deity 'Sever Sea' from the Nine Swords Academy... This is quite interesting.'
'So, are psychics really part of a conspiracy? No, for that Creator, using a conspiracy is too ridiculous... It should be said that it's a natural evolution, originally part of the world's rules?'
'What is the connection between the Martial Way and that Creator? Could it even be... some kind of harm? A bacterial virus? Or a plot by an opposing force?'
'To find out, I can only walk the path of the Martial Way and see. Once I break through to the Tenth Stage, I should be able to understand more...'
'Or perhaps... take down Uv Augustine!'
But this was a Tenth Stage psychic, and on Blue Star, even if Uv himself took action, there was no guarantee of success.
'Or... other leaders of the Augustine family? Although only two or three people know the core secrets, it's still easier to deal with than Uv.'
Fang Xing turned the electronic pen in his hand, silently making a decision.
...
At the Augustine Estate.
Sarin Augustine, with her wine-red hair, stood respectfully before a member of the Augustine family with green hair.
The members of the Augustine family were peculiar, especially their hair colors, which gave off a bizarre vibe.
It was said that this was due to the expression of different genes in their bloodline.
"Brother..."
Sarin Augustine looked at the pride of the Augustine family, James Augustine, and said, "James has been confirmed dead..."
"I understand."
Uv Augustine, with his green hair, nodded slightly. "The murderer has also been confirmed. It's that 'Head of the Gate Sect', but when trying to predict further, there was some interference, possibly from a higher-dimensional being..."
"Even he couldn't handle it?"
Sarin was shocked.
Upon hearing that James Augustine, a member of her family, had died, Sarin naturally mobilized all means to investigate the murderer.
But this time, the murderer had left almost no clues.
However, the Augustine family had a backup plan!
Through a secret channel, they contacted the 'Laplace Demon' and sought the enemy by observing the future and destiny, eventually identifying the Head of the Gate Sect!
But the opponent's actions left them baffled.
After all, they were all on the same side...
Although the Augustine family had not completely betrayed the Blue Star Federation, they were staunch supporters of the Coexistence Faction.
They believed that once the Creator awakened, everything would be reshaped by the Creator.
Only by firmly standing on the Creator's side could they obtain salvation.
As long as the number of people with this surrender ideology grew, it would inevitably gain traction.
Even the upper echelons of the Blue Star Federation tacitly acknowledged this.
After all, the cost of strong resistance might be the destruction of humanity! The Fugitive Faction, the Coexistence Faction... all paths should be tried, so that even in the end, humanity could leave behind some sparks...
It was because of this attitude that the last investigation into the attack on the Blue Planet University's 'Twin Walls' had been dropped.
Even the Xu family couldn't pursue the matter further.
Sarin was surprised to hear that the murderer was the Head of the Gate Sect and that there was clearly the protection of a higher-dimensional being.
"It's obvious that the various foreign Demon Deities aren't all on the same page..."
Uv sighed and said softly, "What we need to do is simple. The Creator doesn't allow the emergence of Tenth Stage Martial Way experts in the human race. As long as we ensure this, even if the Creator awakens and restarts the universe, he will resurrect us..."
"Yes.
"Sarin had known about this matter long ago, but her heart couldn't comprehend it.
Why, when the Mech Pilots and other factions have already produced Eleventh Realm professionals, is there no news of that Master?
This time, however, he must suppress the Martial Way?
But he knew that there had to be a reason for all this!
Even if he were to uncover the secrets within, he would still die!
...
Several days later.
Blue Planet University.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, sensing the omnipresent void and the fluctuations within it.
As he continuously contemplated the three Void Refinement Lineages and integrated the Federation's spatial achievements, his understanding of the Spatial Law progressed significantly. Although it couldn't be described as a thousand miles a day, it was still very impressive.
Even now, as his understanding deepened, he became more and more adept at comprehending space.
'The proficiency in Spatial Law has reached the beginner level, and I can sense the fluctuations of the Spatial Law, allowing me to utilize some of the power of the void...'
'But when proficiency in Spatial Law is achieved, I should be able to display techniques like Void Fragmentation... In other words, if one comprehends the Spatial Law and reaches the Star Sovereign Realm, they will have the ability to challenge Stellar-level experts in other Laws... Is this the power of the higher-order Laws?'
'If one reaches the Mastery level, and condenses the 'Law Heart,' how terrifying would it be?'
On the attribute panel, each breakthrough in proficiency brought about a leap in strength!
'Perhaps, by then, my Immortal Cultivation clone will also have Void Refinement battle prowess... When the time comes, with two against one, I'll have a good chance of defeating Uv Augustine.'
After taking action against the Augustine family, Fang Xing decided to lie low for a while.
After all, acting too frequently will inevitably expose weaknesses.
Strictly speaking, his previous disturbance at the Green Mountain Mental Hospital was already a bit risky.
What's the use of evidence?
For the top echelons, having suspicions and possessing strength is enough to warrant action.
With this thought, Fang Xing immediately decided to remain hidden for a while.
It's a good opportunity to continue contemplating those three Void Refinement Lineages.
'The Immortal Cultivation Realm, from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation to Nebula, Divine Transformation to Void Refinement... After that, it's the Fusion Realm. The Fusion Realm of the Immortal Cultivation Realm corresponds to the Eleventh Realm in the Primary Universe...'
'Fusion, how does one fuse? Essence Spirit fusion? It doesn't seem that simple...'
Fang Xing silently pondered, gradually gaining enlightenment: 'The Eleventh Realm corresponds to the 'Red Giant' level in the Source Power system... To achieve the strength of a 'Red Giant' expert, one's understanding of the Laws must reach the Master level...'
In fact, the standards for comprehending the Laws vary across different systems.
But for Fang Xing, the simplest and most straightforward reference is the attribute panel.
'Mastery-level understanding of the Laws should allow one to condense the 'Law Body'... Fusion? Fusion!'
'Do the various paths, in the end, all lead to the same destination?'
'Or... Do these seemingly different worlds have some kind of connection?'
Fang Xing recalled one of his previous speculations.
Perhaps all the worlds he had traveled to through the Gates of All Worlds were located in a Dimensional Sea or a Universe Sea!
'To understand such matters, one must reach a higher realm.'
...
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and several years went by.
Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Death God Island.
Fire Dragon Senior Immortal, accompanied by a cultivator with unusually long arms and overflowing sword intent, headed towards the central 'Death Temple.'
'Are you sure about this, fellow Daoist?'
Chu Kuangtu still found it hard to believe: 'That Fang Xing from the Golden Sword Lineage... is actually the 'Dark Kun Venerable' who suppresses the Vast Sea Immortal World, and none dare to defy him?'
After Fang Xing became successful, he naturally didn't forget the old man. He specifically instructed Fire Dragon Senior Immortal to bring someone and travel on the Dark Kun Ship to the Great Wilderness Immortal World to deliver a gift to the Heavenly Sword Sect, stating that anyone who wished to come to the Vast Sea Immortal World was welcome to board.
Heavenly Sword True Lord was naturally overjoyed and decided to go and see for himself.
'This matter... is absolutely true.'
Fire Dragon Senior Immortal sighed inwardly. Who would have thought that the Golden Sword Lineage would go to such a remote and desolate place and produce such a remarkable successor!
'I wonder where the Tai Bai Sword Immortal from the Killing Sword Lineage is. He helped our sect stabilize the chaotic world, and I haven't had a chance to thank him yet.'
Chu Kuangtu's eyes lit up, and he asked another question.
Even if Tai Bai Sword Immortal had reached the late Nebula stage and became a True Lord, Fang Xing still didn't pay him any attention.
It was just that the other party had hesitantly sought refuge with him, so he couldn't just ignore him. Instead, he directly sent him off to the Great Wilderness Immortal World.
Tai Bai Sword Immortal let loose his wild side, and in the Great Wilderness Immortal World, without the presence of late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators, he directly exterminated all the demonic path's Yuan Ying sects...
If not for Chu Madman's desperate pleas, even the righteous path would have been wiped out.
After returning, he had no patience for mundane affairs and immediately went into seclusion.
"Senior Brother Tai Bai has entered seclusion," Fire Dragon Senior Immortal said as he brought Chu Madman to the Death Temple. He solemnly adjusted his robe and sent out a sound transmission talisman.
Seeing Yuan Ying Sword Senior Immortal being so solemn, Chu Madman couldn't help but feel a little dazed, realizing that his junior brother, Fang, was truly extraordinary.
However, thinking about how the other party's Primordial Spirit formation had startled him, it seemed quite normal.
'Now that I think about it, Junior Brother Fang... no, Uncle Fang is only around a hundred years old? Shh... a hundred-year-old Transcendent Soul Cultivator?
Chu Madman took a deep breath, deciding to keep this information to himself.
'According to rumors, Dark Kun Venerable is incredibly talented, suspected to be a reincarnated immortal... I think even reincarnated immortals might not be able to reach the Transcendent Soul stage in a hundred years... could this be the reincarnation of an even more terrifying power?'
Just as Chu Madman and the other were waiting, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Fang Xing's figure appeared, holding a flying sword, which he gently thrust forward.
Shred!
The void shattered, forming an unimaginable vortex.
Countless spatial cracks spread like wrinkles, and a silver-white void storm was about to take shape...
Seeing this, both Chu Madman and Fire Dragon Senior Immortal's Primordial Spirits trembled, "It's actually Void Fragmentation!"
Primordial Spirit teleportation relies on the Great Void, understanding its principles but not its true nature.
If even the void is shattered, then Primordial Spirit teleportation is just a joke!
"Void Fragmentation... this... only a 6th-stage grand array or a Void Refinement Power could do this... and Uncle Fang is only at the early Transcendent Soul stage..."
Fire Dragon Senior Immortal glared.
Transcendent Soul Cultivators possess partial characteristics of Void Refinement Power, and this is called... it's so extraordinary, words can't describe it.
Fortunately, this is in the lower realm, and Dark Kun Venerable has suppressed the Vast Sea, so no one dares to defy him.
If this were in the Spiritual Realm, it would have caused chaos throughout the world.
"Indeed... it's just as I suspected."
Fang Xing didn't use the 'Domino Void Inequality' to destroy Death Island and the 6th-stage spirit vein together.
He would never do something like destroying a family.
After breaking the void with a single sword, he stopped acting and allowed the void to heal naturally, gradually suppressing the void wounds.
This display left both Fire Dragon Senior Immortal and Chu Madman in awe.
'Once you reach proficiency in spatial laws, you can shatter the void!'
'With my current abilities, I've mastered a Void Refinement technique!'
Fang Xing felt extremely proud.
With the help of the three Void Refinement lineages and the exploration of technology from the main universe, his progress in spatial laws was incredibly fast.
After eight years of hard work, he finally reached the 'proficient' level in spatial laws.
This was mainly due to the assistance of the Void Refinement lineages, which helped analyze the spatial structure.
However, seeing that even the main universe's technology experts, including William, a spatial expert, often hit roadblocks in their research, Fang Xing knew that his steady progress was thanks to his attribute panel!
'With these abilities, I might even catch up to my understanding of the Fire Law!'
He was filled with emotion.
At this moment, as he once again comprehended the void of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Fang Xing discovered more.
"The void... is indeed layered."
"The Immortal Cultivation Realm where ordinary cultivators reside is the most solid and vast layer, known as the 'Material World'... and the next layer is the Great Void spoken of by cultivators! Shattering the void means shattering this 'Great Void Layer'!"
"But above the Great Void Layer, there seem to be even more layers... it's just that I can't sense them clearly..."
"But I can confirm that Void Refinement Cultivators directly absorb spiritual energy and demonic energy from the higher-dimensional void layers..."
Fang Xing's eyes lit up.
However, with his current accumulation and cultivation level, he couldn't quite grasp the higher layers of the void.
He decided to focus on the basic material layer.
As the outermost layer of space, the material layer is the most fundamental.
It supports everything, forming the world...
"The Fire Law is indeed carried by the spatial law... there are commonalities and fusion points!"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up.
With the help of spatial laws, his understanding of the Fire Law also broke through, surpassing a certain restriction!
