Chapter 523: The Mission
Chapter 523: The Mission
In the Great Xia Universe, on the planet New Bluesphere, Fang Xing sat in the main seat, silent and unmoving. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a pitch-black feather, dozens of meters long, appeared, shimmering with an eerie glow. Its presence was overwhelmingly powerful, and every wisp of its aura seemed capable of bringing about destruction.
"The Feather of the Demon Vulture..." Fang Xing murmured. This was the item he had obtained through a trade with his cultivation clone and Azure Mist Immortal.
The Demon Vulture was similar to the Mad Martial Bird, inherently mastering the True Self Law and the Destruction Law, and was even extremely adept at merging the powers of these two laws.
At this moment, just by observing some of the patterns on the black feather, Fang Xing felt he had gained profound insights.
"So that's how it is..."
"The fusion of True Self and Destruction, does it lead to madness and power? If you don't go mad, you won't survive..."
Bluesphere Martial Arts was equally extreme; otherwise, it would have been difficult to awaken the Martial Will at such a low cultivation level.
Just by observing, Fang Xing felt he had gained a lot.
In the future, he could follow the secret techniques from the Pan Wu Great Canon, refine this 'Feather of the Demon Vulture' into a pill, and after consuming it, he would undoubtedly make rapid progress in the fusion of two complete laws.
However, this was something for much later, probably after he had fully comprehended the Destruction Law.
"Any law cultivation has two major hurdles. The first is entry, and the second is the final perfection... It's not unusual to get stuck for a long time."
"This is especially true for merging laws. Entry is extremely difficult, and achieving a perfect fusion is even more challenging... At this time, some of the secret pills from the heritage can come in handy. At the very least, with the power of that pill, finding the point of fusion between the True Self Law and the Destruction Law shouldn't be a problem..."
Thinking of the Pan Wu Great Canon, Fang Xing couldn't help but think of Pan Wu and Transcendence.
'Pan Wu left behind a heritage, which means he also had the intention of finding someone to fill the path. This person is considered a strong cultivator even in the Eternal Realm...'
'Then, do I still have to follow the 'Pan Wu Great Way'?
'Are there no other great ways that lead to the Eternal Realm?'
Fang Xing pondered for a moment, then thought about the situation in the True Immortal Realm: 'Being used as a pawn in the 'filling the path' scheme, is the Freedom Dao Lord willing to accept this?'
After being 'filled', even with the mastery of the powerful 'Way of the Immortal', there was still the Dao Court's influence to contend with.
But if he were to take on such a massive cause and effect, his cultivation would still be at the fourteenth realm of the Dao Lord, making the breakthrough to the fifteenth realm of the Eternal Dao Sovereign infinitely more difficult, not to mention Transcendence, which would be almost impossible.
If Fang Xing were in that position, he knew he wouldn't accept such an outcome.
However, it was hard to say what choice the Freedom Dao Lord would make.
The only thing Fang Xing was certain of was that once the Dao Sovereign transcended, the True Immortal Realm would undoubtedly descend into chaos!
...
After obtaining the resources he desired, Fang Xing began to cultivate wholeheartedly.
At the same time, he abandoned his efforts in the Starfield Training Ground, maintaining his rank at 999.
He would only log in when he made progress in the Destruction Law, selecting a few challenges from the numerous invitations to brush up on his battle count.
Fang Xing calculated and found that meeting the challenge requirements within ten years would be a breeze, so he became even more laid back.
He hadn't even left New Bluesphere, merely observing the construction of the Bluesphere Federation and occasionally providing guidance to Lei Ming, Lin Qianzhu, and others, while they ruled over the ten star systems under his domain.
Since his fiefs were mostly barren star systems, with few life-bearing planets, ruling them was relatively simple, and no major issues arose.
Ten years later, in a grand hall, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, with a Destruction Tablet and a black bird feather before him.
"I've mastered the Destruction Law... Additionally, my cultivation clone is on the verge of fully comprehend the Temporal and Spatial Laws at any moment..."
"This progress is incredibly fast, and the best part is that there's no imminent danger, which feels great."
"It's just that the Gate of the Myriad Realms has been charging continuously, but there's still no sign of it opening..."
At that moment, Fang Xing suddenly sensed something and took out the Voidstone.
He sent a wisp of his consciousness into the Void Universe, arriving in a reception room where he met Kun Wu.
"Brother Kun Wu..."
Fang Xing greeted him.
"Haha, I've been away for a few years, carrying out a clan mission. I was fortunate to complete it and return... I heard you had some issues with Yinques?"
Kun Wu was curious.
"No, he just wanted to take advantage of me, but he didn't succeed..."
Fang Xing remained calm.
Even if Yinques wanted to spread rumors, the other Lawmaster Realm powerhouses weren't fools; they wouldn't just believe whatever he said.
"Sigh, no wonder I heard some rumors..." Kun Wu lowered his voice. "But I also learned during this mission that I saved Yuan Shi's life, and that's when I found out Yinques has a grudge against the Sai Kai Clan..."
"So there's that factor, too."
Fang Xing understood.
"You can't underestimate Yinques because of this. I heard... that Xiao got himself into big trouble with that group... He didn't want to publicize it, so he's been going crazy, challenging Yinques' friends and underlings in the training ground..."
Kun Wu's expression was somewhat mocking, obviously holding a low opinion of Xiao and enjoying seeing him in an awkward situation.
"I see."
Fang Xing nodded, but his thoughts turned to Beta and the Sai Kai Clan.
If the Sai Kai Clan was indeed the reason he was being targeted, then they should have made their intentions known by now.
At the very least, they should have given him some warning.
But now, it seemed like they were also ignoring him and treating him with indifference.
Perhaps they still believed that he had used Beta to join the Star Civilization...
'Never mind, it's not a big deal.'
After politely exchanging a few words with Kun Wu, Fang Xing heard something unexpected: "A Nether Golem of the Lawmaster Realm? Is his name Quilun?"
"Yes, I encountered him during a mission. He's quite skilled, and I originally wanted to recruit him into the Star Civilization... But later I found out he was a Nether Golem, and that race looks down on all other races. Even if he were to join, he'd probably only join the Beast Civilization..."
"Indeed, the Beast Civilization is one of the three Apex Civilizations, and although they are the rarest in number, they have the most powerful individuals..."
This work is organized and uploaded by the 69 Book Bar.
Fang Xing couldn't help but sigh.
Each of the three Apex Civilizations had its strengths, and it was difficult for powerful individual cultivators to emerge in the Beast Civilization.
The Insectoid Civilization, on the other hand, excelled in technology and enslavement. With their vast slave armies, they had the highest population of all!
After all, insects were weak individually, but their numbers were astonishing.
Among the countless insects, it was not uncommon to find individuals with exceptional talents, possessing both psychic and ethereal abilities.
Both of these abilities were highly skilled in the art of enslavement.
Furthermore, the Insectoid Civilization's technology was surprisingly advanced compared to the other two civilizations, which was quite baffling.
According to the Star Civilization's research, it was likely due to the ability of high-ranking insects to share their thoughts and exchange ideas freely.
In contrast, the Star Civilization, which was primarily human, appeared more 'balanced'. They had a larger population and territory than the Beast Civilization but fewer than the Insectoid Civilization.
Meanwhile, they pursued both individual cultivation and technological advancement.
...
Forty years later...
"This is the 'Essence Liquid' just delivered by the Star Civilization!"
Gu Yun entered the hall, holding a spatial ring.
"Thank you..."
Fang Xing took it and used his mental power to examine its contents, revealing a deep chaotic liquid.
Including this one, he now had five 'Essence Liquids', all rewards for his rankings in the Starfield Training Ground.
He glanced at Gu Yun's face, "Actually... you should go out and explore more. The universe is vast, and the human territories are just as expansive..."
Most of the materialized Bluestar people chose to fully integrate into the Great Xia Universe, interacting with the universe as citizens of Fang Xing's territory. Some, like Nan Gong Xue and Liu Wei, had even started traveling throughout the universe.
Only Zhang Chu was a bit unlucky, still working on constructing his body or, rather, his mech.
According to him, he was building a 'Neutron Star Mech', and once completed, he would immediately become a Twelfth Realm expert.
"I just... feel a bit unreal."
"Besides, having my parents with me is already great."
Gu Yun smiled gently, "Here, I can occasionally help you, even if it's just with small matters."
"Seeing your poker face melt is also good for my mood."
Fang Xing chuckled.
Having taken over Creator Leos's possessions, he naturally inherited the imprints of all life within Leos's internal universe.
Therefore, using the Illusionary Law to 'revive' Gu Yun's father and then materializing him in the Great Xia Universe was not a difficult task.
This was a limited resurrection; if the person wasn't from his internal universe, they couldn't be revived.
Furthermore, if someone like Nan Gong Xue died in the Great Xia Universe, Fang Xing could only 'revive' their appearance from their internal universe, at most capturing their state at the moment they left it.
After Gu Yun left, Fang Xing glanced at the Voidstone, his expression changing, "About fifty years... has it finally arrived?"
Joining the Star Civilization came with many benefits and offerings, but also obligations.
Every hundred years, a mandatory task had to be completed.
Fang Xing had been waiting for this task and hadn't accepted any others.
'This is the opposite of getting a salary. If the task is released at the beginning of the hundred-year period, it's a scam civilization... But if it's released at the end, it's a conscientious civilization... If it's in the middle, it's neither good nor bad.'
Fang Xing thought to himself as he looked at the task description:
【Task: Fight for the 'Star Source Fruit'!】
【Location: Ten Thousand Star Universe Mystic Realm】
【Task Description: The Ten Thousand Star Universe Mystic Realm is located in the Three Space Civilization and has ten thousand entrances... This mystic realm is believed to have been left by a Dao Master, and only Lawmaster Realm beings are allowed to enter. Other opportunities within the realm have already been distributed, leaving only the 'Ten Thousand Star Fruit Tree' at the center. Every ten thousand years, it bears one thousand 'Star Source Fruits', and at that time, powerful beings from the Beast Civilization will descend to seize them... You need to work with your teammates to obtain as many 'Star Source Fruits' as possible.】
【You must hand in at least ten 'Star Source Fruits', and the Star Civilization is willing to purchase any additional fruits at the price of one 'Essence Liquid' per fruit.】
