Chapter 546: Proficiency in the Great Way
Chapter 546: Proficiency in the Great Way
The Xia Universe.
New Bluesphere, within the palace.
Fang Xing's eyebrows rose, and he loosely clenched his right hand.
Sizzle! A pitch-black fireball appeared in his palm, within which one could vaguely see a scene resembling the grand annihilation of the universe.
"Does cultivating the 'Annihilation Wolf' to a stage beyond a million years of cultivation signify the perfection of the Annihilation Rule?"
"Besides that, my Rule of Strength and Death Rule... have also made significant progress."
However, the Pan Wu Great Way required a complete 'True Self' and 'Annihilation', while the Rule of Strength only needed a portion of it.
The current Fang Xing had already fully met these requirements.
"This time, opening the Gate of Many Worlds has brought me great gains..."
"But... the biggest gain is still this."
His expression became slightly complex as his consciousness gathered on the attribute panel.
On the attribute panel, a drop of pure white blood could be seen.
It took the shape of a water droplet, within which countless Heart Manifestations seemed to gather, including wolves, tigers, mountains, rivers, plants, birds, insects, and fish... Even a faint glimpse of a brilliant Divine Dragon could be discerned!
"Transcender's Blood... I never thought I'd actually bring it back."
Fang Xing couldn't help but recall the final scene in the Interworld.
Although he had merged with Pipi Dog and obtained its annihilation power, when he rushed in front of the pure white blood, he was still powerless against it.
Even though this drop of Transcender's blood no longer had a true consciousness, its mere aura was enough to suppress him.
Even if he wanted to study it, it would likely require the intervention of an Eternal Being from the Fifteenth Realm.
As a mere Lawmaster True Immortal from the Thirteenth Realm, he was asking for humiliation.
At the critical moment, the attribute panel unleashed its power, temporarily containing this drop of 'Transcender's Blood', but without absorbing it.
At the same time, a piece of information appeared:
"As expected... Although Transcender's bloodline is also a Transcender feature, it is considered a lower-grade Transcender feature. This doesn't mean it's weak, but rather that Transcender's bloodline inevitably carries the mental imprint of its original owner. After refining it into one's bloodline, one will inevitably be contaminated by the original owner. The best-case scenario is going insane, while the worst is becoming a tool for the original owner's resurrection or an external incarnation..."
Even so, with the help of the attribute panel's power, Fang Xing gained tremendous benefits from the Ruler's World.
After reaping all the benefits, he naturally left the Ruler's World, completely ending this cross-over.
"This drop of blood has completely transcended physical form and has become a purely conceptual entity..."
Fang Xing was still shocked as he recalled this moment: "To keep this drop of blood safe, I must rely on the attribute panel's power to contain it... Otherwise, if it's released, it might transform my star system into a Heart Beast World... or even attract Fourteenth Realm Domain Lords and Fifteenth Realm Eternal Beings..."
He couldn't think of anything other than the attribute panel that could block the aura of this drop of 'Transcender's Blood'.
Even if he took it to the Cultivation World, there would be only one outcome: attracting the attention of the Carefree Dao Lord or even the Dao Supreme!
"I will definitely not refine the Transcender's blood into my bloodline... Even if it brings me great benefits and a surge in strength..."
"But there should be more ways to use it than just refining it into my bloodline. Once I reach the Fourteenth Realm or even the Fifteenth Realm, I'll be able to research the Transcender's bloodline and obtain a portion of its heritage..."
"Now, I need to focus on my own matters."
Fang Xing sighed, retracting his thoughts from the attribute panel. A silver light flashed in his hand, revealing a feather several dozen meters long.
— Mad Vulture Feather!
At this moment, as Fang Xing examined the feather, he not only saw through the True Self and Annihilation Rule upon it but also gained a vague understanding of the fusion of rules.
"This trip to the Ruler's World has been immensely rewarding. I must immediately enter seclusion to thoroughly digest these gains!"
Fang Xing's eyes shone with excitement.
...
Time passed like flowing water.
Fang Xing truly entered a state of seclusion.
In a daze, more than twenty years went by.
"The Pan Wu Great Way, primarily based on the True Self Rule and Annihilation Rule, incorporates parts of the Death, Space, and Strength Rules..."
"Now, my understanding of the rules has comprehensively met the standards, only lacking the final fusion."
Inside the quiet room.
Fang Xing opened his eyes, and the surrounding void seemed to flow subtly, manifesting various visions.
"Hmm... After twenty years of contemplation, I've thoroughly digested the accumulation of rules in the Ruler's World and reached a certain bottleneck."
He looked at the Mad Vulture Feather floating in front of him and suddenly raised his hand.
One after another, rare treasures appeared, forming a circle around the Mad Vulture Feather.
Then, a mysterious stream of water emerged, enveloping these materials one by one, eventually turning into a pool of silver liquid that wrapped around the black feather.
This 'Mad Vulture Feather' began to slowly melt under the influence of the silver-white solution.
"According to the Pan Wu Code, this 'secret medicine' can be considered successfully crafted."
"This 'Rule Medicine' has no other effect but to increase the fusion degree of the Pan Wu Great Way and enhance one's comprehension of it... Unfortunately, it's only effective the first time."
Fang Xing gazed at the silver medicine floating in mid-air.
This medicine was the size of a human head, and after completely digesting the Mad Vulture Feather, its color had changed from bright silver to silver-gray.
Fang Xing slightly sensed it and confirmed, "It seems to have succeeded."
A silver light flashed in his hand, revealing his slender arms and perfect muscle lines.
"Come."
As Fang Xing's heart stirred, the silver-gray potion directly landed on his chest, and then, as if it had a life of its own, it enveloped his entire body, seeping into his skin.
In an instant, Fang Xing seemed to transform into a silver divine statue.
In this state, he felt as if he had directly entered the origin layer of the Great Way, stepping into a path that appeared vast beyond imagination, like a black dragon.
"Pan Wu! Pan Wu!"
The black dragon roared and clawed, exuding an unimaginable majesty, with a single path suppressing all others.
"Amazing... I can almost see the scene of Pan Gu Wu opening his own Great Way and suppressing all paths..."
"Hmm, this should also be considered a way of 'proving the Way through strength', right?"
His consciousness focused on the attribute panel, arriving at the position of the rule comprehension, and he saw that most of the rule comprehensions had disappeared, leaving only one icon:
【Pan Wu Great Way: Beginner → Proficient!】
【Pan Wu Great Way: Proficient → Mastery!】
A thunderous roar echoed.
On Fang Xing's body, strange rule patterns gathered, forming the shape of a black dragon behind him.
In an instant, his qi and blood surged wildly, and a strange giant shadow appeared above Blue Star, even larger than the entire planet.
A terrifying pressure emerged, sweeping across Blue Star.
"It's the Lord!"
The newly relocated immigrants all knelt on the ground.
Crack! Crack!
In a factory, Zhang Chu was piloting his brand-new mecha: "Haha... I finally reached the Twelfth Realm of Mecha Pilots."
But in the next moment, he saw the giant in the universe.
Even though he had been modified into a semi-mechanical form, he still felt the terrifying pressure.
It was as if he had been stripped of his mecha, turned into an ordinary person, and thrown naked into a snowfield, facing a polar bear!
Bang!
Zhang Chu's mecha knelt down.
"The Pan Wu Great Way... so that's how it is."
After a long while, the towering giant shadow, resembling Pan Gu, slowly dissipated.
On Fang Xing's back, the black dragon's rule pattern gradually faded.
He pondered: "Since I've already comprehended numerous rules, once I find the opportunity to fuse the rules with the help of a secret potion... after entering the beginner level of the Great Way, my progress will skyrocket?"
"A Mastery-level Pan Wu Great Way... it's probably as strong as a 4th-tier Lawmaster, and it's not weak within it."
"A Grandmaster-level Pan Wu Great Way might have the combat power of a 5th-tier Lawmaster?"
"What about the Saint-level?"
Fang Xing felt a surge of excitement.
Although he had known that the 'Pan Wu Great Way' was powerful, its strength exceeded his expectations.
"Generally, 5th-tier Lawmasters are those strong individuals who are just a step away from completely comprehending the Great Way, or those who possess supreme secret techniques, unimaginable physiques, or true treasures..."
"But I, at the Grandmaster level, can possess the combat power of a 5th-tier Lawmaster, which means the Pan Wu Great Way is stronger than the paths they've comprehended! It's even... much stronger? It's indeed a Great Way proven through strength!"
"With this, when I reach the Saint level, if I find suitable treasures, unleash secret techniques, and so on... perhaps I can become a legendary 6th-tier Lawmaster who can fight against the Dao Master realm?"
"If I continue to progress at the Saint level, I might even be able to defeat the most ordinary Dao Master?"
A strong ambition arose in Fang Xing's heart, and he glanced at his attribute panel:
【Name: Fang Xing】
【Age: 198】
【Occupation: Star Martial Artist】
【Thirteenth Realm: Lawmaster (4th Tier)】
【Pan Wu Great Canon: 1/20,000 (Proficient)】
【Pan Wu Great Way: 1/20,000 (Proficient)】
【Eternal Sun King Curse of Timelessness: 1/2,000 (Skilled)】
【Gate of Many Worlds (Charging)】
...
"I'm so strong now!"
"The Pan Wu Great Way is inherently the Way of Battle, and with a Proficient-level comprehension, I can already display many battle sacred arts from the Pan Wu Great Canon! This is the eternal secret art of the Fifteenth Realm!"
"My strength at the 4th-tier Lawmaster level is not ordinary, and I can probably compete for the top twenty, or even the top ten, on the Starry Sky Ranking..."
Of course, the top three on the Starry Sky Ranking were 5th-tier Lawmasters, and Fang Xing was no match for them at the moment.
"The Gate of Many Worlds has entered the charging stage again..."
"For the next world, I'll choose one that can help me quickly break through to the Dao Master realm."
Fang Xing glanced at the pattern at the bottom of the attribute panel, representing the Gate of Many Worlds, and muttered to himself.
Since the Gate of Many Worlds could even find the blood of a Transcender, it wouldn't let him down in this aspect.
He changed into comfortable clothes and leisurely emerged from his seclusion, enjoying life.
After all, Fang Xing cultivated to gain happiness, not for anything else.
After a long period of seclusion, it was necessary to balance work and rest.
Many powerful cultivators also liked to host banquets, indulge in pleasures, or travel after prolonged seclusion...
In the Daxia Universe, there were also many entertainment planets, and even Lawmaster-level experts were reluctant to leave.
Moreover, his cultivation was quite arduous; after a short period of seclusion, he had advanced from the 3rd-tier Lawmaster to the peak of the 4th-tier.
If those Lawmaster-level experts who had lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years without breaking through saw this, they might feel ashamed enough to self-destruct.
"Hmm?"
Just as Fang Xing finally felt that indulging in pleasures was getting boring and connected his consciousness to the Great Void Universe, an email caught his attention: "This... is interesting..."
