Chapter 444: Pan Gu Wu
Chapter 444: Pan Gu Wu
"You guessed right, but there's no reward!"
Fang Xing pressed down with another palm, striking the center of the black imperial armor.
Although the previous punch had severely injured the man in black armor, it didn't kill him outright.
Fang Xing sighed inwardly, acknowledging the power of the imperial armor, and without hesitation, he followed up with another palm strike.
A thunderous boom reverberated!
The terrifying penetrating force landed on the man in black armor. Although the imperial armor remained intact, the person inside was instantly blown to pieces, turning into a pile of flesh and blood.
"Thirty-two Pan Gu Tokens, a huge haul... If I win one more game, I'll almost have enough for an Imperial Weapon."
Fang Xing was excited and somewhat expectant.
Imperial Weapon!
Don't be fooled by their abundance in the Pan Gu Mystic Realm; in the outside world, they are priceless treasures that Celestial Immortals and Celestial Demons would fight fiercely for.
With his Supreme Essence Sovereign strength, comparable to a Celestial Demon's first major power, ordinary Imperial Armaments were no longer sufficient.
But with an Imperial Weapon in hand, he would have the confidence to challenge even a Celestial Demon of the third or fourth major power!
"The seventh layer!"
Fang Xing's vision blurred, and he arrived at a grand hall.
This hall was majestic and vast, with a uniform sky-blue color throughout. The surrounding area was filled with primordial energy streams, and an intimidating oppressive aura permeated the atmosphere.
An old man with white hair and a face covered in black scales appeared.
"Supreme Essence Sovereign? No, he's at least at the peak of the Celestial Demon Realm!"
Fang Xing was taken aback: "The guardian of the seventh layer is this powerful? There's some foul play going on in the Heaven Arena!"
"Ahem..."
The black-scaled old man's face twitched: "I'm not the guardian of the Heaven Arena. I'm the protector of the Pan Gu Mystic Realm. You can call me 'Old Wu'."
"In that case..."
Fang Xing looked around: "Is this the most core area of the Pan Gu Mystic Realm?"
"Indeed. To have tempered a body comparable to a Celestial Demon in the Essence Spirit Realm, you must have passed the trial of the Ancient Deity Temple and been teleported here."
The black-scaled old man smiled.
"Then where is my Pan Gu Token?"
Fang Xing thought of something else: "Are they all invalidated? If I had passed the seventh layer, I would have almost been able to exchange them for an Imperial Weapon..."
"Hehe... If you want to go back, I can certainly fulfill that wish."
Old Wu's expression turned somewhat playful: "Then forget it..."
Fang Xing's expression turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully: "Black Dragon... I pay my respects to Old Wu!"
"Hmm, your talent... especially your physique, meets my master's requirements. You have reached the threshold to become a Disciple by Name."
Old Wu smiled.
"May I ask the name of that great existence?" Fang Xing inquired.
"My master is an Eternal Being..." Old Wu explained, "His realm is beyond your current understanding. Just remember this: my master, with his own physique, forced countless worlds and infinite universes to acknowledge his Great Way. After the Dao saw him, he opened the 'Pan Wu Great Way' on his own. He often says, 'Why should I comprehend the Great Way instead of making the Great Way acknowledge me?'"
"Using one's physique to make the Great Way acknowledge... and even opening a new path among the myriad worlds?"
Fang Xing suddenly understood why the Pan Gu Mystic Realm favored body-refining cultivators.
Because its master was a body-refining expert.
"In the Chaos Realm, one needs to fully comprehend a Great Way... Could it be that in the Eternity Realm, one creates their own Great Way?"
A hint of confusion appeared on his face.
"Indeed, how can external Great Ways compare to one's own? Without this, how can one achieve eternity...?"
Old Wu's expression turned contemplative: "Without eternity, how can one transcend?"
"Alright..."
His expression became somewhat desolate: "Are you willing to take my master, 'Pan Gu Wu', as your teacher?"
"What responsibilities would I have to shoulder if I were to take that existence as my teacher?" Fang Xing asked after some deliberation.
He was no longer in the state he was in the Great Xia World. If he made a vow of Great Way causality, it would still have some binding power.
After all, these vows directly affected the true spirit!
"Hehe... Do you know that when I look at you, I feel like I'm seeing something familiar? It's like a summer insect unable to comprehend ice... My master is infinitely great and possesses boundless power. What can't he accomplish? Why would he need a disciple like you to shoulder any responsibility?"
Old Wu chuckled: "Even this Pan Gu Mystic Realm is just a small game my master created on a whim. You, who have benefited from it, should only shoulder the responsibility of diligent cultivation. If one day you can break through to the Eternity Realm, or even transcend, my master will be overjoyed."
'Listening to Old Wu, it seems that 'Pan Gu Wu' is still alive.'
'That's right... Celestial Demons have no lifespan limit, let alone the Demon Emperor. Higher realms like Eternity would naturally not lead to their downfall... Eternity, what is eternity? At least they should be eternal beings, otherwise, wouldn't eternity be a joke?'
Fang Xing's heart stirred, and he became cautious: "In that case, I'm willing to take you as my teacher."
"Hmm."
Old Wu nodded: "After my master achieved eternity, he has been traveling outside the Qingyuan Great World. Taking on a disciple is not worth his attention. You only need to bow to his portrait to complete the Disciple by Name ceremony."
With a wave of his hand, an ancient hall suddenly appeared with a Great Way Tablet!
This Great Way Tablet was not of Space-Time, nor was it of Heaven and Earth or Slaughter...
It was a brand new Great Way that made Fang Xing's entire body tremble at a glance—the Pan Wu Great Way!
On the stele, there was only a silhouette of a person.
He stood tall, his back supporting the heavens, as if he were the perfect embodiment of the Pan Wu Dao.
Even Fang Xing, whose vision was blurred, could see the potential of his future martial path.
However, the face was unclear.
He struggled to calm his mind and bowed.
"Hmm, it seems like the master doesn't oppose your disciple status," Wu Lao said with a smile. "The master has thirteen named disciples, and ten of them have perished. Including you, there are still three left... But I won't tell you their identities."
Fang Xing rolled his eyes, sensing some mischievousness in the guardian.
"As the master's disciple, you can choose three items from these options."
Wu Lao waved his hand, and light screens appeared, each containing a mysterious item.
There were nine light screens in total, and when Fang Xing looked at the first one, he saw a strange ancient scroll with a chaotic color. As his gaze landed on it, information automatically appeared in his mind:
【Pan Wu Canon: Contains the cultivation methods of Pan Wu Dao, as well as thirty-six unorthodox techniques and seven thousand six hundred and ninety-two minor techniques... Note that learning this secret canon will only allow you to reach the Chaos Realm, and you may even be influenced by the strong martial will within, making it difficult to sever the Dao...】
"Only up to the Chaos Realm? I feel like Pan Gu Wu put his knowledge here, hoping that a student would use the Pan Wu Dao to reach the Chaos Realm, then sever this Dao and achieve eternity."
Fang Xing instantly guessed Pan Gu Wu's intention, which was almost an open secret.
If a disciple could sever the Pan Wu Dao, it meant they had found its weaknesses and flaws... For Pan Gu Wu, this would be an invaluable resource, a talent on par with the greatest geniuses, which could make up for the shortcomings of his own Dao.
He nodded and looked at the second light screen, where he saw a strange liquid constantly transforming into various weapons and armor shapes.
【Customized Imperial Armament based on requirements!】
He nodded again and turned to the third light screen, which showed a peculiar pill with an old man with white beard inside, sitting cross-legged and imparting Dao Laws.
【Enlightenment Pill: Assists Essence Spirit Realm cultivators in comprehending the final step of nine Dao Laws, with a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm!】
"This... If those Supreme Essence Sovereigns find out, they would probably do anything to get it, right?"
Fang Xing thought of Timekeeper, who was just a thread away from fully comprehending the Time Doctrine.
With an Enlightenment Pill, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that he could break through and become an incredibly powerful Time Celestial Immortal.
Alas... He didn't have that opportunity, and the regret turned to ashes.
【Treasured Artifact 'Time Mirror'... Contains the Time Law, assists in enlightenment, and has remarkable effects when using time-related secret techniques and spells...】
【Treasured Artifact 'Void Cauldron'... Contains the Void Law, assists in enlightenment, and can also be used in battles...】
【A drop of 'Source Blood': Can modify the Demon Race bloodline, turning it into 'Imperial Blood', or by comprehending its special properties, one can gain an opportunity...】
【'Realm Token'...】
【'Causality Card': The Demon Emperor of Azure Emperor Palace owes a favor, promising to fulfill one request or lend full assistance once... By severing causality and refining it into this card, the holder can take on this segment of causality...】
【'True Spirit Talisman': Refine this talisman, and upon death, one can reincarnate, preserving a strand of true spirit, making it difficult to stop, even in the Chaos Realm...】
...
Fang Xing looked down and saw nine options, all of which were indeed excellent.
The 'Realm Token' was the most unique, with no introduction.
Whether it was the Imperial Armament, treasured artifacts, life-saving items, or breakthrough pills, they were all unimaginable treasures that even Celestial Immortals and Celestial Demons in the outside world would find hard to come by.
"Well? Which three do you want?" Wu Lao asked with a smile.
These nine options were obviously tailored for Fang Xing.
He loved seeing these juniors getting excited, their eyes turning red, yet feeling helpless, as they eventually made their difficult choices.
But Fang Xing fell into deep thought:
'My Black Dragon body follows the Space-Time Great Way, so the Pan Wu Dao is of little use to me... However, Pan Gu Wu seems to have cultivated a similar martial body refinement path, which might be very useful for my main body in the main universe, at least as a reference...'
'As for the Imperial Armament, I can't take it with me... The same goes for the Enlightenment Pill. With my attribute panel, once I reach the required proficiency, I can naturally break through. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to comprehend the top-tier Dao Laws... This pill might be something many Essence Spirits would fight for, but for me, it's useless...'
'The two treasures that assist in enlightenment are worth considering. The Realm Token is too mysterious, clearly a gamble on opportunity... I'm not a gambler, and as long as I don't gamble, I won't lose.'
'The Source Blood is also the same, I can't take it with me, and I won't gamble on the opportunity within...'
"The Causality Card is equivalent to a chance to intervene in the Chaos Realm, which would be very useful in the Qingyuan Great World... As for the True Spirit Talisman..."
