Chapter 416: Heaven-Earth Great Path
Chapter 416: Heaven-Earth Great Path
"Skyward Magic Stele and Earthward Magic Stele?"
After some contemplation, numerous insights emerged in Fang Xing's mind:
"The Skyward Magic Stele records the 'Skyward Path,' which primarily revolves around the Space Doctrine, incorporating aspects of the Fire, Water, and Wood Doctrines... and many other doctrines, including a small portion of Fate."
The world's doctrines are inherently interconnected.
One can choose to comprehend a single doctrine or attempt to grasp them all as a whole.
For instance, when comprehending the Skyward Path, one would undoubtedly delve into the doctrines of Space, Fire, Water, Wood, and Fate simultaneously!
"The Skyward Path is an even more supreme doctrine than the Void Path, and once one grasps its essence, they will inevitably become a powerful Heaven Immortal upon reaching that realm!"
"Of course... it's also incredibly challenging!"
"Perhaps I was drawn to this stele because I was previously contemplating how to perfectly utilize my own Law Insight..."
Fang Xing couldn't help but admit that he was somewhat tempted.
The power of the Skyward Path is one aspect, and the other is the existence of the Earthward Path!
If one could merge these two paths, it would become the 'Heaven-Earth Great Path'! A supreme path!
The 'Great Path' is a concept that surpasses ordinary doctrines and principles.
Once one thoroughly comprehends and masters it, they would transcend the Lawmaster Realm and enter the Daoist Realm.
In the language of the Azure Origin Universe, it's beyond the Heaven Immortal Realm! By unifying the Heaven-Earth Great Path, one can reach the Chaos Realm!
"Space encompasses everything... but in terms of inclusivity, the Heaven-Earth Great Path incorporates Space, the Five Elements, and other doctrines... making it even more powerful than Space alone."
"Even if one were to unify with this path and transcend the Heaven Immortal Realm, they would undoubtedly be among the strongest at their level!"
"If the Creator knew about the existence of the fusion law of the Heaven-Earth Great Path, or if He saw these two magic steles, perhaps He wouldn't have been pushed to the point of creating the universe with a single thought, giving birth to numerous foreign demon tyrants, and separating His own complex Law Insights."
The inclusivity of the Heaven-Earth Great Path is extraordinary!
Most of the doctrines Fang Xing knew could be incorporated into it.
It's easy to imagine that following this path would be incredibly challenging!
However, it's more likely that one would get stuck while traversing the Skyward Path.
At that point, one might even fail to comprehend a single doctrine and achieve the Heaven Immortal Realm!
Or, after achieving the Heaven Immortal Realm, the sheer number of doctrines comprehended might make it impossible to perfectly fuse them into the Skyward and Earthward Paths, leading to conflicts and interference... encountering the same problem as the Creator.
"In summary, this path offers vast potential but is also extremely challenging. One wrong step could lead to a devastating end!"
"Moreover, according to the rules and experiences of this world, to embark on the Heaven-Earth Great Path, one must at least find a heritage that can transform their Essence Spirit into a 'Heaven-Earth Essence Spirit'... only then would there be a glimmer of hope."
Fang Xing's heart stirred, and he made a decision: "I can start by searching for a related heritage. If I find one, I'll attempt to follow the Skyward Path. If not, I might as well continue along the path of Space; it won't be a bad choice for the future..."
"Seven Kill Spirit, Slaughter Great Path? It seems that the Seven Kill Daoist obtained the inheritance of a Unifying Daoist, a Chaos Realm master, and his path leads towards the pinnacle of the Slaughter Great Path."
He manipulated Song Zhong and arrived before another magic stele.
This stele was covered in various sword marks, blade marks, and axe marks, appearing to be in a state of extreme ruin.
"The path of slaughter... the doctrine of annihilation!"
Fang Xing glanced around and noticed several other magic steles, each representing different doctrines.
"Annihilation, Death, Cataclysm..."
"When these doctrines are combined, they form the Slaughter Great Path!"
The path of slaughter is a doctrine, while the Slaughter Great Path is a Great Path! The difference between the two is beyond measure!
'The Seven Kill Daoist cultivated the Seven Kill Spirit and achieved the Heaven Immortal Realm through the path of slaughter. He sought to unify the Slaughter Great Path... Could there be a trap within the inheritance of the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace, where they cultivate the paths of Annihilation, Death, and Cataclysm to produce Heaven Immortals, ultimately completing their own path?'
A hypothesis emerged in Fang Xing's mind.
Otherwise, after hundreds of thousands of years, if the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace hasn't produced a new Heaven Immortal, could it be because the path to the Heaven Immortal Realm is genuinely challenging to comprehend?
"It's all just speculation..."
Fang Xing made a decision: "With a little over a day left, I'll split my time. I'll spend half of it comprehending the Void Demon Stone, and the other half attempting to grasp the Skyward Path..."
...
Before the Skyward Magic Stele.
Song Zhong struggled to comprehend, his expression filled with confusion.
Fang Xing's vertical pupils stared at the azure magic stele, gaining profound insights.
"The Skyward Path is almost half of the Heaven-Earth Great Path... It encompasses most of the world's paths, and once unleashed, its power is vast beyond measure... equivalent to half the strength of a world?"
"The more comprehensive it is, the more challenging it becomes to enter, comprehend, and master. The greater possibility is that it will trap geniuses, leaving them bloodied and unable to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm. After ten thousand years, they may turn to ashes, filled with regret."
"However, the Skyward Path is indeed formidable. It offers the potential to rival weak Heaven Immortals even at the ninth level of the Essence Spirit Realm. Isn't this the strength of a 'Star Realm Black Hole-level'?"
After some contemplation, Fang Xing firmly imprinted this insight in his mind but did not delve deeper.
Looking at the attribute panel, he noticed that there wasn't an influx of various Law Insights, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. He then proceeded to contemplate the 'Void Demon Stone'.
He had a deep understanding of the Void Path, and he was almost instantly captivated by it.
Until the third day arrived.
"Pfft!"
Song Zhong's body withered away, resembling a mere skeleton, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
"I can't look any further... Let's go."
Fang Xing glanced at the Void Demon Stone one last time with a hint of regret and left with Song Zhong.
[Space Doctrine: 1999/20000 (Mastery)]
After exiting the Ten Thousand Realm Hall, he glanced at his attribute panel and nodded to himself:
'As expected of the Ten Thousand Demon Stones, it actually increased my proficiency by almost one-tenth...'
Of course, this didn't mean that nine more attempts would elevate his 'Mastery' level to 'Grandmaster'.
The difficulty of comprehending Laws increased exponentially.
Even if he were given twenty more chances, he wouldn't have much confidence in breaking through the Grandmaster level of Space Doctrine!
However, there was no doubt that the Ten Thousand Realm Hall was extremely beneficial for comprehending Laws!
'But... I'm comprehending the Law Insights left by the creator of the Ten Thousand Demon Stones, not the true Laws of Heaven and Earth...'
'This is the limitation of such treasures for cultivation insights. Even if the creator has thoroughly comprehended the Laws, the insights revealed will inevitably carry a strong personal style... Over time, it's easy to fall into preconceived notions...'
'The best way to comprehend Laws is still to rely on self-cultivation in daily life... When encountering bottlenecks and difficulties, that's when you should turn to treasures for cultivation insights to find solutions.'
This explained why there weren't many True Disciples or High Spirit Elders in the Ten Thousand Realm Hall!
'This time, I've come to the right place.'
Just this cultivation experience alone was something that Ling Xiao Hui, the great treasure of Daxia World, hadn't mentioned to him, and it was highly likely that he was unaware of it.
It was clear that this might even be the reason why the 'Gray-Clad Marquis' was trapped in the Star Lord Realm and couldn't advance to the Lawmaster Realm.
'The cultivation atmosphere of the Azure Origin Universe! Or perhaps the various experiences and rules that seem so natural... These might be even more important than a single inherited legacy.'
Fang Xing's eyes lit up with realization.
If the Creator had known about the Skyward Path, a path of merging Laws, he might not have chosen to create an inner universe to slumber and procreate endlessly, hoping for a breakthrough.
'So, the greatest advantage of the Gates of All Heavens is using the advanced cultivation experiences of higher-level worlds to dominate the previous lower-level worlds...'
'Moreover, within lower-level worlds, there might be precious treasures that are hard to find in higher-level worlds... For example, the will-forging method of the Blue Star Martial Artists, or the Creator's shortcut to challenging the Great Path by establishing Laws...'
'Continuously learning from and making up for shortcomings, with myself as the main focus and the various worlds as a means... In the future, my upper limit will not be limited to just the Heaven Immortal Lawmaster...'
Fang Xing's heart was filled with excitement and a hint of caution.
'The waters in this world run deep; I can't afford to have any more wishful thinking.'
'I'll immediately send Song Zhong to accept the Inner Sect disciple task and leave the Seven Kill Demon Palace in the most reasonable way... Then, the sky's the limit.'
...
Several days later.
Inside the cave abode.
"Most of the Seven Kill Demon Palace's Inner Sect disciple tasks are for tempering the disciples..."
Song Zhong solemnly flipped through a jade book, focusing on the silver tadpole-like characters on it.
As he concentrated on each tadpole character, numerous pictures and even projection images appeared.
"The eternal first task of the Inner Sect—'Ascend the Seven Kill Tower'!"
Through the jade book, Fang Xing saw an ancient seven-story tower. Below it was an introduction:
[The Seven Kill Tower was established by the Seven Kill Palace Master, with seven floors. All disciples of the Seven Kill Demon Palace, regardless of their cultivation realm, can challenge it...]
[For each floor conquered, corresponding rewards and sect merits will be obtained. If you conquer the sixth floor, you will directly receive the position of a 'Lineage Disciple'.]
[If you conquer the seventh floor, you will be granted an audience with the Seven Kill Palace Master...]
"The Seven Kill Tower... Even if Song Zhong were to challenge it, he would probably only reach the fourth or fifth floor."
"This is a way to select geniuses..."
At this moment, Fang Xing wanted to keep a low profile, so he wouldn't let Song Zhong challenge the tower, nor would he offer any assistance.
His gaze shifted, signaling Song Zhong to turn the page.
[Subterranean Cavern Task—Beneath the Azure Origin Universe lies a nine-layered cavern, with its deepest part connecting to the Nine Hells... Within the cavern dwell countless unimaginable ferocious creatures, known as Earth Demons!]
[In the region ruled by the Seven Kill Demon Palace, there is a small entrance to an underground cavern, guarded year-round by the Seven Kill Army. Disciples of the Seven Kill Demon Palace can accept tasks and go to the entrance to hunt Earth Demons, with their merits determined by their strength...]
"This won't do either. The surroundings are filled with fellow sect members, and under the watchful eyes of the sect's powerful cultivators, there isn't much freedom... Although it's not impossible to escape, it's better to do so with benefits."
Song Zhong continued flipping through the jade book, and suddenly, Fang Xing's eyes lit up: "This one seems good..."
