Chapter 426: Boundless Mountain
Chapter 426: Boundless Mountain
Black Hole Level!
Even in the Daxia World, it is extremely rare and scarce, and it is an incredible existence that can match the strength of a Star Sovereign Realm cultivator with the power of a Law Sovereign Realm Great Virtuoso.
In the Qingyuan Great World, it is equivalent to a cultivator in the Essence Spirit Realm rivaling a Celestial Immortal, making them the overlord among Essence Spirits! To reach this level through pure physical cultivation is even more unbelievable!
Fang Xing communicated with the Derivative Dao Mirror with his thoughts, and a brand new Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique appeared in his mind.
Aside from an additional chapter titled 'Black Hole Chapter' at the end, the rest of the incantations and secret techniques had undergone significant adjustments.
Only the most fundamental requirement he had set from the beginning remained unchanged—one still only needed to absorb the light of the stars to cultivate.
"Black Hole Chapter... Continuously increasing one's weight and mass, breaking through limits with overwhelming gravitational force?"
Fang Xing took a glance and felt that he didn't quite understand it, but at this moment, the functions of the Derivative Dao Mirror were not yet exhausted.
He gently flipped the mirror, causing the purple starlight pillar to fly out of the mirror's surface and land on his body.
Roar!
In an instant, a terrifying surge of stellar power descended, penetrating every bone and scale of the Black Dragon.
A sensation akin to being flayed by a thousand knives and ten thousand cuts came, but Fang Xing forcefully endured it with his formidable willpower.
Slash!
Blood seeped from his dragon scales, and one by one, the scales fell off, only to be swiftly replaced by brand new ones.
Within the Derivative Dao Mirror, a Creation Force was hidden, capable not only of deducing cultivation methods but also directly 'bestowing' them, elevating the level of cultivation methods!
Boom!
Fang Xing felt as if he were immersed in a dense ocean of stellar power, and every tiny particle of his body greedily and hungrily devoured the starlight.
In a short time, his physical body rapidly strengthened, and the Black Dragon's body continued to grow, from fifty meters to a hundred meters, then two hundred meters... five hundred meters!
The cave collapsed with a boom, and a thousand-meter-long black and red-scaled dragon soared out of the ground, with what seemed like a tiny planet slowly rotating within each drop of its blood.
Rumble!
Around the Black Dragon, even the void seemed to distort and shatter under the power of its formidable physique...
"My Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique... has broken through to the Master Level?"
"Unfortunately... the Creation Force within the Derivative Dao Mirror has been exhausted, and it couldn't push my physique to the level of a Neutron Star Battle Body, let alone a Black Hole Level... Well, Black Hole Level was never possible, but I thought I could at least reach the Neutron Star Level."
Nevertheless, the Red Giant Star-level physique still made Fang Xing feel an overwhelming and terrifying power!
If not for his sufficiently strong will, even the mere presence of this physique might have been enough to annihilate his soul!
"A Master Level Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique corresponds to the Red Giant Star level in the Daxia World... the combat power of the Eleventh Realm in the Prime Universe! Now, I have far surpassed the strength of my Prime Universe body... and even reached the pinnacle of the human race in the Prime Universe."
"It's just a pity that I can't bring this Black Dragon body back... otherwise, it would be enough to sweep through the Blue Star Federation."
The Prime Universe body of Fang Xing, even when clad in armor, only possessed the strength of the Tenth Realm's peak.
But at this moment, the Black Dragon's physique alone surpassed that!
"This is not only because of the Qingyuan Great World, but also the gift of a Celestial Demon..." The power of a Law Sovereign Realm Virtuoso is truly terrifying.
Fang Xing sighed inwardly, "Now, even with just my physical body, I can rival a cultivator in the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Essence Spirit Realm... and I'll only become stronger after breaking through to the Essence Spirit Realm!"
"So, it's even more crucial to join a major power."
If not for Song Zhong's help, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Azure Flower Realm, let alone obtain the Blue Flower Empress's inheritance and ascend to heaven in one step.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit lost.
What's the use of a stronger Black Dragon body if it can't be brought back? It's still best to comprehend the Laws and follow the path of Law comprehension.
Only what one comprehends and assimilates is truly one's own, and no one can take it away!
...
After another teleportation, Fang Xing reduced his size and arrived at a place among the green mountains, casually setting up a cave abode.
Then, a flash of light appeared on his dragon claw, and a withered yellow token emerged: "Boundless Token... It is said that the Boundless Mountain faction embraces all, treating both humans and demons equally..."
After some thought, Fang Xing decided that joining the Boundless Mountain was the best choice at the moment.
Otherwise, even in this vast world, no superpower would invest resources in him.
No matter how talented, a mid-journey cultivator could never compare to one nurtured from the start.
But on the side of Boundless Mountain, with the relationship with his master and the Boundless Great Sage as a background, he could at least have a fair chance to compete.
With this thought, Fang Xing no longer hesitated and injected a stream of Black Water Essence Energy into the withered yellow token according to the technique passed down by the Boundary Spirit Serpent Maiden.
"Hmm?"
The next moment, Fang Xing's expression became somewhat peculiar.
A strand of his consciousness followed the activated token and instantly arrived at a mysterious place.
...
On top of a vast mountain.
"Is this... Boundless Mountain?"
A figure in black emerged, none other than Fang Xing!
At this moment, he had an ordinary appearance, with his power at the Ninth Stage of the Mortal Realm, but of the most common Mortal Grade quality.
Several others appeared nearby, seemingly similar to him.
"Is this... the 'Vast Void Illusion' of Boundless Mountain?"
Fang Xing was amazed, "This is where everyone uses the same template and can even customize their appearance?"
He was very familiar with this, feeling it was similar to the virtual space in the Prime Universe.
"In terms of distance... the Qingyuan Great World is vast beyond measure, and the distance between the two places is no shorter than that between the many galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters in the Prime Universe... but the Vast Void Illusion can achieve real-time communication..."
"Even more, the Vast Void Illusion can accommodate power beyond the Martial Sage level and even simulate laws..."
Fang Xing's thoughts stirred, and a thread of crimson flame law appeared before him: "This seems... even more advanced than the virtual technology of the Prime Universe!"
He sighed inwardly, "It seems that even without following the path of science, many technologies in the Qingyuan Great World surpass those of the Prime Universe."
Back in the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace, Fang Xing had some understanding of this.
Under the rule of the Demon Palace, there were countless mortal nations, each city housing tens of millions. Magic and puppetry were widely used in architecture, agriculture, mining, and various other fields.
Not only that, but the high-level cultivators of this world, such as those in the Essence Spirit Realm, were occasionally used as manual labor, assigned tasks to control the wind and rain, and took on secular roles like Wind Lord, Rain Master, Thunder God, and Lightning Mother, ensuring bountiful harvests every year and preventing famine...
The mortals, on the other hand, were tasked with constant reproduction, annually selecting numerous elite disciples to send for trials in the Demon Palace.
The secular government called this the 'Blood Tax'.
And this was just under the rule of the Demon Palace!
It was said that in the Western Extremity, there was a Buddha Power who made a grand vow, using his power alone to sustain all the mortals in the region. All food and necessities were distributed as needed, and everyone lived as if in a Bliss World.
The only task for the Buddhists there was to pray daily, devoutly, reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name, accumulating merit... The older and more devout they were, the more valued they became.
If one's faith was impure, they would be expelled from the Western Extremity, living a miserable life—most mortals couldn't bear the contrast and took their own lives.
'Under the premise that productivity determines everything, the productivity of a great power surpasses that of millions of mortals and even low-level cultivators...'
Fang Xing silently criticized, the Vast Void Illusion was said to be a game created by a great power of Boundless Mountain, yet its performance far exceeded that of the Prime Universe, leaving scientists in a difficult position.
'However... this seems to be related to special laws or great doctrines... Besides Boundless Mountain, no other force has developed this... or perhaps some have, but they're like the regional network of the Western Extremity's Buddhist sect, unable to cover the entire Qingyuan Great World... Only Boundless Mountain's 'Vast Void Illusion' truly lives up to its name, maintaining connections even within special secret realms...'
As Fang Xing was pondering, a giant ape standing on its hind legs approached him: "Newcomer? The Heaven-Defying Great Sage wants to see you!"
"Please lead the way."
Those who could use special templates in the Vast Void Illusion must have extraordinary backgrounds.
Fang Xing knew that his 'Boundless Token' had a special setting, and once logged in, it would send a message to the 'Heaven-Defying Great Sage'.
The Great Sage had a strand of divine consciousness constantly overseeing the 'Boundless Mountain' in the Vast Void Illusion, so naturally, someone would be sent to guide him.
Following the golden-haired giant ape, Fang Xing climbed up Boundless Mountain and arrived at a massive palace.
This palace stood three thousand three hundred zhang tall, its entire body exuding a heavenly azure color. The two huge doors were wide open, but the interior was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen beyond the darkness.
"Go in, don't keep the Great Sage waiting."
The golden-haired giant ape glanced at Fang Xing and sat down beside the giant doors.
Fang Xing's expression remained unchanged as he stepped through the doors.
In an instant, the world transformed!
He seemed to have arrived above a chaotic ocean, where earth yellow, crimson, azure, and pitch-black hues continuously merged, eventually dissolving into chaos.
Above the chaotic ocean, a colossal figure sat cross-legged.
His golden fur seemed to be on the verge of blazing, constantly interpreting some doctrine...
'The Heaven-Defying Great Sage! A living Law Sovereign Realm existence...'
Fang Xing gazed at the indescribable body of the Heaven-Defying Great Sage, his heart filled with awe: 'A Celestial Demon Emperor in the Prime Universe would be a World Creator in the Thirteenth Realm...'
At this moment, the Heaven-Defying Great Sage, with his ape-like face, stared at Fang Xing and spoke with a thunderous voice.
Even in the Vast Void Illusion, even if it was just a strand of divine consciousness, and most of its power was restrained, Fang Xing still felt like a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of extinction...
