Chapter 470: The Year 815 of the Star Calendar
Chapter 470: The Year 815 of the Star Calendar
The year 815 of the Star Calendar.
According to the Supreme Scientific Research Institute of the Federation's 'Doomsday Hourglass', there was less than a year left until the 'Creator' would awaken.
Combining scientific predictions, big data models, and even mystical rituals, there was a margin of error in the calculations, indicating that the 'Creator' was already in a state of possible awakening.
This news loomed like a dark cloud over the hearts of every high-ranking official in the Federation.
Of course, for those martial professionals in the Federation, this year also held other significance.
For instance, the Galactic Senator and Chancellor of Blue Star University, Fang Xing, was preparing to challenge the Tenth Stage of the Martial Dao! Although the previous Chancellor, Ye Liuyun, had failed in his attempt and died in a unique manner, leaving behind a warning not to challenge the Tenth Stage.
But this Fang Xing was not someone Ye Liuyun could compare to! As a Galactic Senator, he represented the Federation's highest combat power! Once he took action, he would undoubtedly have absolute confidence.
Therefore, more and more martial artists gathered at Blue Star, just like the grand occasion when Ye Liuyun had made his challenge.
...
"There are so many people..."
Gu Jian Tong, with the help of his granddaughter, stepped off the spaceship, gazing at the scene before him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
When he thought of that person, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Back in the day, he was a genius on par with that person, but he had suffered a severe blow during the Moon Goddess incident.
Although he had miraculously survived, he was left half-crippled and could only return to inherit the family business and have children.
Fortunately, Gu Jian Tong was a strong-willed man; even though he had lost to that person on the path of transcendence, he had worked tirelessly to develop his company into one of the Federation's largest groups and had fathered hundreds of children. Now, he had over a thousand grandchildren...
"Grandpa... I heard that you and that Galactic Senator were classmates?"
The one supporting Gu Jian Tong was his most favored grandson. Both grandfather and grandson had undergone genetic surgery and could live for several hundred years without any issues. At the moment, they both looked relatively young and resembled father and son.
"Yes... back then..."
Gu Jian Tong's eyes wandered as he reminisced about the past.
Just then, a coarse voice from the side interrupted, "Gu Jian Tong, apart from cheating during the Hundred Star Joint Exam and surpassing Star Brother with the help of someone above, you've always been chasing after his back... and you still have the nerve to say these things?"
"Who are you?"
Gu Jian Tong's grandson glared at the speaker, and then his enthusiasm waned.
The person who appeared was wearing a uniform of the Public Security Bureau, and from his insignia, it was clear he held a high position, perhaps even the Director of the Public Security Bureau.
"Song Jinguang... Humph, I don't deign to speak with you."
Gu Jian Tong stubbornly held his head high and walked into the Blue Star University's main gate, stopping at the edge.
Within Blue Star University, there were countless Martial Sages and Martial Deities roaming around, and even though Song Jinguang was diligent and hardworking, he had only been promoted recently with the help of Fang Xing's influence and still couldn't enter the core, so he could only bicker with Gu Jian Tong while standing guard.
He scanned the area and spotted a few familiar figures, among them was Gu Yun.
But at that moment, Gu Yun's expression turned cold, and her eyes suddenly shifted to someone else: "You're... Liu Wei! You actually... broke through the Eighth Stage?"
Liu Wei strode over, "I remember you. You hired me to protect the young miss of Star Brother..."
He cultivated Magnetic Field Martial Arts, and upon breaking through to the Martial Sage realm, he became a powerful Martial Sage with exceptional combat strength.
However, within the Supreme Scientific Research Institute of the Federation, he was still treated as a test subject.
Thanks to Fang Xing's words back then, he made up his mind to leave the Scientific Research Institute, essentially freeing himself and making peace with his situation.
After all, as a cyborg, reaching this stage was already a feat that countless others of his kind had failed to achieve.
"You're here too."
Gu Yun spoke.
"Of course I'd come for Star Brother's promotion to the Tenth Stage of the Martial Dao."
Liu Wei nodded and headed towards the center of Blue Star University, in the direction of the Grand Library.
...
Fang Xing had also chosen the secret realm above the Grand Library as the location for his breakthrough.
Inside the secret realm.
He wore a pure white training outfit, with a black satin belt tied around his waist, and sat cross-legged.
Opposite him were only two people: Vice-Chancellor Nie Ying and Nan Gong Xue.
"Star Brother... Are you sure about challenging the Tenth Stage of the Martial Dao? You might encounter great terror..."
Nie Ying looked at her most outstanding student with a mix of hesitation and concern.
She had taken Ye Liuyun's experiences and warnings to heart.
"For the pursuit of the Martial Dao, I would rather die a hundred times without regret."
Fang Xing smiled and shook his head, "Also... this time, I'll allow them to sense the aura from the outside, but I won't stream it..."
Ye Liuyun was open and aboveboard, but Fang Xing was not.
Even his Cultivation Immortal Avatar was a secret that couldn't be exposed.
"Mmhmm, I understand."
Nie Ying stood up and left, and there was a hint of a hunchback to her posture.
Next, Fang Xing turned to Nan Gong Xue, "If something happens to me, I've already given you my will..."
Nan Gong Xue rolled her eyes, "I always feel like you're teasing me... This time, you have a hundred percent chance of success."
"Of course, there's a hundred percent chance, but a will is just a formality."
Fang Xing smiled and saw off the female disciple as she left the secret realm.
In the end, only Fang Xing remained in the secret realm.
Boom! The Martial Dao Will soared into the sky, and with his keen sense of space, Fang Xing scanned the secret realm, confirming there were no hidden means or surveillance.
"Let's begin."
After considering all the preparations, all possibilities, and all potential developments, Fang Xing finally made up his mind.
Swish! A flash of silver-white light appeared, and his Cultivation Immortal Avatar emerged.
Even though the Cultivation Immortal Avatar was in the Spirit Realm, due to the power of the Gateway to All Worlds, it was still pulled back.
The Cultivation Immortal Avatar remained silent and directly sat cross-legged.
Fang Xing's main body glanced at his attribute panel:
【Name: Fang Xing】
【Age: 114】
【Occupation: Immortal Martialist】
【Ninth Stage: Martial Deity】
【Martial Canon of the Universe: 5699/10000 (Beginner)】
【Star Sovereign Realm: Stellar Level】
【Star Palace Scroll: 1/200 (Mastery)】
【Nine-Origin Stellar Body Forging Secret Technique: 199/200 (Mastery)】
【Great Sun Bodhimanda Divine Palm: 800/800 (Master)】
【Heavenly Mother Virtue Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Canon: 800/800 (Master)】
【Great Sun Bodhimanda Spell: 800/800 (Master)】
【Law Comprehension: Time (Grandmaster), Space (Grandmaster), Fire (Mastery), Destiny (Beginner)】
【Gateway to All Worlds (Charging)】
...
"Hmm... Great Sun Bodhimanda Divine Palm, finally mastered at the Grandmaster level."
Fang Xing heaved a sigh of relief, and a Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body appeared behind him.
It had numerous perfect features, with Fang Xing's facial features, a golden body, and a circle of great sun flames around it, forming the Dharmic Seal.
Under the Great Sun Dharma Realm, there was only the True Buddha!
"The Martial Sage cultivates the Dharma Body... while the Martial Deity promotes the Dharma Body to the Dharma Realm!"
"Now that the Great Sun Bodhimanda Divine Palm is complete, my Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body is also perfected, reaching the peak of the Martial Deity!"
Fang Xing silently sat cross-legged, and on the Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body, the mud pill palace between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.
A Great Sun Divine Grade slowly rotated in the Upper Dantian position.
In the Middle Dantian position, there was a Sun Star Palace, within which was a star surrounded by countless stars.
In the Lower Dantian, Fang Xing's Nine-Origin Stellar Body Forging Secret Technique was also at the Tenth Stage!
"Essence, Qi, and Spirit... all above the Tenth Stage!"
Fang Xing silently circulated his energy, feeling the resonance of the Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantians, with a frequency that was hard to describe.
This frequency even spread out, resonating with the heavens!
The Three Treasures of Man - Essence, Qi, and Spirit, formed the Minor Trigram.
The Three Treasures of Heaven, Earth, and Man formed the Great Trigram.
The Great Trigram plus the Minor Trigram equaled the Six Directions and the Eight Directions, infinite and all-encompassing!
At this moment, Fang Xing seemed to see the entire universe and even felt the center of the universe, an indescribable existence!
"It's time to break through!"
Fang Xing had already stood up, pointing one finger to the sky and one to the ground: "Six Directions, Eight Directions, I alone am supreme!"
Boom!
The Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body roared.
The Cultivation Immortal Avatar smiled slightly, transforming into a stream of light and merging into Fang Xing's main body.
After mastering the Heavenly Mother Virtue Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Canon, Fang Xing could recall his Cultivation Immortal Avatar with a single thought, their cultivation power and energy as one, in perfect harmony.
And at this moment, the recall of the Refining Void Stage Cultivation Immortal Avatar was undoubtedly a powerful catalyst for Fang Xing's main body to break through the Tenth Stage of the Martial Dao.
Buzz!
On the attribute panel, the 【Immortal Martialist】 characteristic flashed.
The vast Refining Void Stage cultivation power of the Cultivation Immortal Avatar transformed into surging streams of energy, flowing into the Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body.
The Great Sun Bodhimanda Dharma Body, influenced by this, instantly became perfect, exuding an immortal aura!
...
"It has begun."
Outside the secret realm, numerous Martial Sages and Martial Deities, though unable to observe through the live broadcast, could sense Fang Xing's Martial Dao Will and his overwhelmingly powerful aura.
"Elder Fang's aura... is thousands of times stronger than when Ye Liuyun broke through last time!"
Jian Qiu and Duan Hai were forced back several kilometers, looking at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
The Martial Deities were like this, and the Martial Sages were even more affected.
Nie Ying and Xu Sanyang's faces turned pale. When that powerful aura soared into the sky, they even felt an urge to kneel.
"So strong..."
Nie Ying's face was filled with disbelief: "A Xing's physique must have already reached the Tenth Stage, or even the Eleventh Stage..."
"Elder Fang will definitely break through successfully, but what we should pay attention to is what happens afterward..."
Xu Sanyang's eyes shone with a hint of fanaticism as he murmured.
At this moment, everyone heard Fang Xing's declaration in their ears.
In a daze, they saw a great sun rising from the secret realm.
...
"Six Directions, Eight Directions, I alone am supreme!"
"The most important thing is actually the 'I alone' part!"
The path of the Martial Dao is inherently about individuality and emotion. Even the Martial Canon of the Universe, at the beginner level, is about the True Self Principle!
Fang Xing's will was vast and boundless, sensing himself.
At this moment, a surprising scene occurred!
His physique and body, comparable to the Tenth Stage, were... becoming illusory?
As if his flesh and bones were all an illusion!
"Indeed... this universe is but a dream of the Creator... and we are all nothingness."
Fang Xing muttered, and in this illusion, he grasped a bit of his 'True Self'!
Even though his body was false, his true spirit, his experiences, and his emotions were all real!
The key to cultivation lies in using the false to cultivate the true!
On the attribute panel, a brand new mark appeared.
The True Self Principle had reached the beginner level!
