Chapter 518: Transcendent Features
Chapter 518: Transcendent Features
"I am Fang Xing, your Overlord."
Fang Xing hovered in mid-air, showing no intention of letting them stand.
Human nature is inherently selfish, fearing power more than valuing virtue.
At this moment, it was crucial to demonstrate the absolute disparity in strength between them, ensuring fewer troubles in the future.
"We have met the Overlord, my lord."
At this point, regardless of their inner thoughts, the former rulers of the planet immediately bowed in sincere submission.
"Very good. From now on, as long as you follow my rules, everything will remain the same. But if you break them, you will be executed without hesitation."
Fang Xing pointed at a few individuals with the highest cultivation, "Your cultivation is decent. Come with me."
He turned and flew into the interior of the Planetary Fortress.
"This is too much!"
Li Ying felt his scalp tingle.
Among the Daxia Star lineage, Fang Xing had chosen him and Lin Qianzhu.
At this moment, all eyes were on them, and there was no way to escape!
'If I had known this, I might as well have taken a chance earlier and fled using the Primordial Heavy Temple,' he thought to himself.
With a stiff expression, Li Ying followed Lin Qianzhu and several dozen powerful extraterrestrial cultivators into the interior of the Planetary Fortress, within a metallic hall.
"All of you here have cultivation levels above the Stellar Rank. To reach this level on an ordinary planet, either you possess exceptional comprehension and talent, or you have incredible luck and opportunities..."
Fang Xing smiled slightly, and when he mentioned 'luck and opportunities,' he deliberately paused to glance at Li Ying, almost scaring the latter to the point of a heart palpitation.
"Therefore, I will promote you to become my direct subjects, and I bestow upon each of you a heritage."
"Thank you, my lord."
A man with a rugged appearance and purple hair immediately knelt down.
"Hmm, your name is Lei Ming, right? You have the highest cultivation among this group, reaching the Neutron Star Rank... I will promote you further and grant you the status of a primary citizen of the Star Civilization."
Fang Xing glanced at him and chuckled.
"Thank you, my lord."
Lei Ming trembled with excitement, as this was the citizenship of a peak civilization! Once accepted, the channels would open up, allowing access to resources and heritages that he had never dared to dream of!
It could be said that this was a real opportunity to ascend to the Lawmaster Realm!
'Is this not like buying a horse's bone for a thousand gold?' Lin Qianzhu thought to himself, glancing at Li Ying again. He couldn't shake the feeling that the Grand Master, who was both his teacher and friend, seemed a bit lost today.
'However, the Grand Master's temperament is naturally like this. Sometimes, he exudes an awe-inspiring aura that makes even me feel a sense of reverence... Other times, he's just like this.'
Lin Qianzhu found this entirely normal.
"Alright, you can leave your contact information with my head butler, Nan Gong Xue, and then go."
Fang Xing gave them a few more instructions and waved his hand.
Led by Lei Ming, the group of powerful cultivators flew out of the Planetary Fortress.
It was only then that Li Ying felt like he was waking up from a dream: 'Am I okay? Did Fang Xing not discover the Primordial Heavy Temple?'
'Impossible...' Inside the Primordial Heavy Temple, Xiao Hui's face was filled with confusion: 'If it was a defective Black Hole Rank, I could understand, but how could a Lawmaster Realm expert fail to detect the temple? The treasure's detection-proof function can't be that powerful, not to mention... I was even secretly assisting.'
"What? Xiao Hui, you haven't heard the last of this!"
Li Ying was so furious that smoke seemed to be coming out of his seven orifices.
Having obtained a treasure that constantly tempted him to assassinate his master, he was in a difficult situation...
...
"Alright, you're all my people, so I'll speak frankly..."
After Black Yuan and Green Scales had also taken their leave, Fang Xing turned to the group from Blue Star and said, "I promised you that I would transform the Blue Star lineage into reality. From now on, you will be the people of my territory on the surface, but in truth, you will be the living beings of my inner universe. There's no need to hide this, as it's quite common in this universe. Moreover, ten star systems are more than enough to accommodate everyone..."
After all, the Blue Star Federation no longer held the glory of the past, and only a single planet with survivors remained.
"Over here, the Blue Star lineage will be led by Nan Gong Xue and Liu Wei... Zhang Chu, you will assist them. Yes, you will control the Planetary Fortress and build a habitable planet as the main world, which we will call Blue Star..."
"As for the rest of you..."
...
After handling these myriad complex matters, Fang Xing sat cross-legged and prepared to cultivate.
To advance in the Lawmaster Realm, one must primarily focus on comprehending the Laws and then the Great Dao.
The accumulation of Essence Energy during regular cultivation could be entirely replaced by absorbing 'Source Liquid.'
At this moment, he was flipping through various life-saving heritages in the Void Universe, deep in thought:
"These life-saving secret arts are actually inferior to the 'Pan Wu Great Canon.' It seems my permissions are still too low to access the heritages of the Eternal Realm, let alone those of the Transcendent Realm..."
"My current combat power is considered among the top in the third stage of the Lawmaster Realm, barely able to match a fourth-stage Lawmaster... It's difficult to improve in a short time, so it's best to focus on survival first."
In any situation, preserving one's useful body is of utmost importance.
"As for life-saving techniques, I've been cultivating the 'Heavenly Mother Virtue Lotus Twin Guardian Technique' all along!"
This peculiar art allowed him to synchronize his thoughts with his cultivation clone at any moment.
The cultivation clone was not merely a clone but another 'Fang Xing'! Therefore, it served as his backup life-saving measure.
As the protagonist, Fang Xing, ascends to higher realms, he gains insights into the terrifying ability of 'inter-realm consciousness communication'. He speculates that this might be due to the unique characteristics of the 'Great Sun Buddha Mantra', which has now evolved into the 'Eternal Sun Buddha King Mantra' with its attribute panel imbued.
This leads Fang Xing to a startling realization: the various Great Worlds, such as the Qingyuan Universe and the Daxia Universe, might still exist within the same higher-dimensional layer! Furthermore, the 'Eternal Sun Buddha' transcends this layer, forming a 'high-dimensional signal relay station', enabling real-time communication between Fang Xing's main body and his clone.
Fang Xing contemplates the possibility of this being a trait exclusive to Transcendents, perhaps named 'Transcendence'. He decides to keep this information secret, fearing that even Eternal Level powerhouses of the Fifteenth Realm might covet and go mad for it.
The Eternal Level heritage from the 'Pan Wu Great Canon' includes some of Pan Gu Wu's speculations on breaking through to become a Transcendent. According to Pan Gu Wu, the first step for an Eternal to transcend is to 'sever causality' or 'seek emptiness', erasing one's own causality and becoming 'empty', disconnecting from the threads of all things.
However, this is just the first step. Next, one must 'transcend', taking the 'ultimate leap'. During this leap, ninety-nine percent of Eternals would perish silently, as if forgotten by the world.
Therefore, before attempting the final transcendence, one must cultivate and acquire certain 'transcendent features'. Pan Gu Wu himself wasn't clear about what these features were, seeking guidance from Transcendents.
In Fang Xing's current understanding, 'Transcendence' might be one of these transcendent features, though it could only be considered a 'suspected' feature among others. Even so, it is an incredibly valuable asset, representing a ticket to 'Transcendence'.
Fang Xing reflects on the implications of his own golden finger, realizing the need for utmost secrecy.

【Ding! Welcome to the Starfield Training Ground!】
Fang Xing arrives at a location in the Void Universe.
He looks up and sees a dazzling, pillar-like chart of stars, the 'Starfield Chart', shining brilliantly under the infinite starry sky.
"The Starfield Chart only records Lawmasters from the Star Civilization and its affiliated civilizations. Currently, there are 58,239 active Lawmasters!"
"All Lawmasters can challenge each other, and the Void Universe will ensure fairness in the ranking battles. Staying within the top 1000 for over a decade will earn you additional rewards."
"Generally, you need to be a third-stage Lawmaster, and even a strong one, to break into the top 1000 and maintain your position. Interesting..."
Fang Xing smiles and looks towards the front of the Starfield Chart.
"In the Star Civilization, there are only three fifth-stage Lawmasters, all absolute big shots, who have long dominated the top three positions on the Starfield Chart. They are 'Disaster Star Lord·Yumi-er', 'Absolute Blade Chi Xing', and 'Ice Emperor Kai Sa-ling'..."
He watches their combat videos, admitting that they are indeed stronger than him, with their comprehended Laws almost touching upon the Great Dao.
They are just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Dao Master realm.
"It's even possible that, for certain benefits, they could have already broken through but are hiding their strength..."
"After all, for Apex Civilizations, unless it's an all-out war, Lawmasters of the fifth stage are more useful in local battles than Dao Masters. Since Lawmasters have infinite lifespans, they can wait for the right moment to break through without any loss."
Fang Xing watches a combat video, feeling as if he's right there on the battlefield. He sees a man in black, capable of obliterating entire star systems with a mere wave of his hand, turning his opponents into nothingness...
"Disaster Star Lord - Yumi-er! Known for his 'Storm Law', he is incredibly powerful and excels in large-scale destruction. He also involves himself with the 'Destruction Law' and the 'Flame Law'... He's just a step away from the 'Cataclysm Path'."
The video is followed by a brief introduction.
As for 'Absolute Blade Chi Xing', his comprehended Great Dao is a secret, but it's speculated to be related to destruction and slaughter.
The last one, Ice Emperor Kai Sa-ling, undoubtedly comprehends the Great Dao related to the universe's yin energy, derived from the 'Ice Law'.
"They are all formidable figures. To stay within the top 100 of the Starfield Chart, you need to be a fourth-stage Lawmaster..."
"However, the source liquid rewards are also very generous. To exchange for some Eternal Realm heritages, I must advance to the front, earn rewards, and improve my own permissions..."
