Chapter 655: Shocking Developments
Chapter 655: Shocking Developments (Additional Chapter for Votes)
In the Daxia Universe, on the New Blue Planet.
Since Fang Xing's presence here was only his consciousness, his true form was still in his own realm. Unlike his previous disappearance, this time he was truly in seclusion.
Thanks to the Gate of Ten Thousand Heavens, he could now retrieve items that he once regretted not being able to bring back from the Qingyuan Great Realm.
Swipe!
With a flick of his right hand, it seemed as though he opened an invisible door. Then, a peculiar ring appeared—it was the Imperial Weapon, the Voidless Ring!
This item was no longer of much use to him, but he brought it to fulfill a lingering desire.
Holding the Voidless Ring, he gently tossed it aside.
Rustle!
A mountain of strange objects and Chaos Crystals materialized.
The most eye-catching among them was the main trunk of the Life Span Tree, the true form of Qingdi.
Based on Fang Xing's observations, at least a dozen more tree hearts could be extracted.
"Sigh… In the end, it's all my own hard work."
He caressed the Life Span Tree, letting out a long sigh.
The Qingdi's Eternal Life Technique was just a concept, with only a broad framework in place. Next, he needed to fill in the details, which would include elements of the Druid tradition.
After all, the Soul-Bound Spirit Plant was somewhat similar to the Tree Shepherd, as both could grow together with their plants.
However, the Tree Shepherd was a playboy, able to have many forests. In contrast, the Qingdi's Eternal Life Technique allowed for only one Soul-Bound Spirit Plant, fostering a deep, singular bond. This made it easier to gain spell-like abilities, powers, and talents from the plant.
"The main focus will be the true form of Qingdi, the plant domain of the Druids, and the talents of the Tree Shepherd", Fang Xing said, reaching out to touch the green trunk, feeling its intricate growth rings.
On his attribute panel, the symbol of 'Great Divinity' began to shimmer, activating the Druid's natural perception.
Divine Power—Reality Alteration!
—Natural Revival!
In an instant, a green light illuminated the Life Span Tree. Through his perception, Fang Xing could sense the tree's vitality shrinking and concentrating, as if trying to give birth to new seeds.
"Good. If this true form of Qingdi were placed in the Gods' World, it would have the potential to grow into a World Tree..."
"The Druid tradition is truly remarkable, able to extract seeds and vitality from these woods."
Qingdi was dead, and the true form of the Sacred Plant was like a corpse. Fang Xing's goal was not to revive Qingdi or even to turn the corpse into a zombie, but to make the corpse directly give birth to new life.
If successful, this would provide many insights into the Path of Life.
"Observing all paths to forge one's own? This is also a viable route..."
Fang Xing mused. With the Gate of Ten Thousand Heavens, he was not confined to the path of a single world. His goal was to gather the conveniences of many worlds to advance his own Dao Lord progression.
"In the Qingyuan Great Realm, I obtained the lower volume of the Panwu Great Canon and established a faction. Next is continuous accumulation..."
"With Chaos Crystals, my strength can gradually improve..."
"And in the Daxia Universe, the cultivation methods for the 14th Realm Dao Lord are clearly unique..."
"Add the secret techniques of the True Immortal Realm, and the three together might help me break through to the third and fourth realms of Dao Lord more quickly..."
Fang Xing logged into the network to check the latest news from the star civilization. When he last left, the star, beast, and insect civilizations were still locked in a stalemate over the Transcendent Secret Realm.
Now, the standoff continued.
"Hmm?"
In the Star Rankings space, Fang Xing saw a message that caught his eye: "An unexpected risk has appeared in the Transcendent Secret Realm due to the failure to revive Ques and others!"
According to the previous mission rewards, if one died in the Transcendent Secret Realm, the Eternal Existence of the star civilization, Lord Hansen, would prioritize their resurrection.
This news clearly indicated that the 15th Realm Eternal Existence, Lord Hansen, had attempted to revive Ques and the others but failed.
'They died well...'
Fang Xing secretly gave a thumbs-up: 'The method of true spirit annihilation truly cannot be saved even by an Eternal Existence...'
Through his interaction with Pangu Wu, Fang Xing understood many things.
For example, a 15th Realm Eternal Existence could shift with the world and delve deep into the World's Origin to revive those who had fallen within their own world.
The principle was similar to how a Law Master could revive beings within their own inner world.
However, whether in the Daxia Universe, the Qingyuan Great Realm, or the True Immortal Realm, the scale and status of these worlds far exceeded those of the small worlds within a Law Master.
"If we categorize worlds... we can simplify them into four levels: Ten Thousand Heavens, Great Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Small Thousand..."
"Ordinary 13th Realm Law Masters and Celestial Immortals mostly have inner worlds that are less than Small Thousand Worlds, occasionally reaching the Small Thousand level... A Dao Lord's inner world might reach the Middle Thousand level."
"The standard for a Great Thousand World is the ability to produce a Dao Lord!"
The inner world of a Dao Lord cannot reach the standard of a Great Thousand World, as it is difficult for a second Dao Lord to be born within it.
However, the Gods World that Fang Xing previously resided in, which can nurture ancient gods, can be considered a Great Thousand World!
As for the Ten Thousand Heavens?
The standard is simple: if an Eternal Existence can be born, it qualifies.
The worlds of the Ten Thousand Heavens are not only vast in scope but also harbor unfathomable mysteries, and there might even be traces of Transcenders!
"The Daxia Universe, Qingyuan Great Realm, True Immortal World... these are all ranked as Ten Thousand Heavens..."
"Only an Eternal Existence or a Primordial Space-Time Dao Lord can project their consciousness into the Origin of a Ten Thousand Heavens world to achieve resurrection..."
"Even so, there are many limitations, such as... each resurrection comes with a certain cost."
"Furthermore... if one falls in a Transcendent Dead Zone, or is killed by a True Spirit, or dies outside the Ten Thousand Heavens world, resurrection is impossible..."
Fang Xing now completely disregards the deaths of his three Dharma Lord enemies, considering them as mere passing thoughts.
Even the 'Hunting King Bow' he once seized, which is merely a special attack Emperor Weapon, no longer holds his interest.
His current storage tool is an Imperial Weapon, the Voidless Ring, which he temporarily uses.
As Fang Xing was deep in thought, a Dharma Lord figure approached: "Brother Fang Xing..."
Fang Xing smiled upon seeing the person, recognizing him as Kun Wu, a Dharma Lord from the Starry Sky Civilization!
Though his strength is average, he has a wide network of connections and is well-informed.
"Brother Kun Wu... how is the 'Ashen' Secret Realm faring now?"
Fang Xing asked with a smile.
As a Dharma Lord who has been in seclusion for many years, it would be unusual for him not to inquire about the ongoing fierce competition for the Transcendent Legacy among the three peak civilizations.
"Ah, don't mention it... it's been a complete failure."
Kun Wu's face was gloomy: "The three peak civilizations have invested so much effort, but none of them have managed to comprehend the Transcendent Legacy... and recently..."
He lowered his voice: "It's said that the fragmented legacies suddenly turned to ashes. We suspected the Beast Civilization and Insect Civilization of foul play, but they too encountered this bizarre situation..."
"The legacy, vanished?"
Fang Xing was taken aback. It seemed to coincide with the period of his return!
"Yes, now we have some speculations: the first is that the Transcender had a nasty temperament and intentionally played a joke on us with false legacies. The second is a conspiracy by the Insect and Beast Civilizations, who have already deciphered part of the legacy but are pretending it has disappeared... And the third?"
Kun Wu analyzed each possibility.
"All of them make sense, but what else?" Fang Xing asked.
"The third is that all the fragmented legacies were fake, and the only real one was taken by the 'Sword Lord.'"
Kun Wu's face was grim: "If that's true, the three peak civilizations fought over it, only to be toyed with by a sixth-rank Dharma Lord of unknown origin. Isn't that hilarious?"
"It is quite dramatic."
Fang Xing nodded slightly.
The 'Sword Lord' refers to his cultivation avatar from the past, who went to seize the legacy.
'It seems... I can never reveal this identity in the Daxia Universe, or many people will come after me with a vengeance!'
'Fortunately, the cultivation avatar's extinction left only a thread of the primordial spirit to reincarnate... later becoming a Druid, and finally merging with my true form.'
When his true form descended into the Druid, it essentially absorbed the avatar and merged it back into one.
To cultivate the avatar again, he would need to use the 'Heavenly Mother Vajra Lotus Twin Protectors Secret Art.'
"Ah... anyway, this competition for the legacy has been a mess, and all parties are starting to withdraw from the secret realm."
Kun Wu drained his cup of wine, looking somewhat dejected.
...
As Fang Xing was receiving information and exploring the secrets of cultivation beyond the Dao Lord realm through the virtual network.
Outside the 'Ashen' Secret Realm.
A three-headed, six-armed giant avatar sat atop an endless nebula, with countless stars forming a galactic vortex around it. The rotation of numerous planets, each inhabited by countless beings, provided a form of faith-like energy that continuously bolstered the giant.
The peak 15th Realm Eternal Existence of the Starry Sky Civilization—Han Sen!
"Transcendent legacy... was it all fake?"
Han Sen looked in the direction of the Insect and Beast Civilizations: "But they didn't obtain it either, so it's a mixed result..."
After the disappearance of the Transcendent Legacy, the three peak civilizations have gradually withdrawn.
By now, they are among the last to leave.
"Board the spacecraft, let's go."
The Myriad Swords Dao Lord, with a sword scar on his forehead, took one last look at the Ashen Secret Realm, his form transforming into myriad sword lights and vanishing.
"That old beast has left, but the Insect Queen is still here..."
Han Sen's avatar was about to leave when suddenly!
A blood-red hive-like structure materialized out of nowhere, enveloping the entire universe in a crimson light.
"Insect Queen, are you planning to confront me?"
Han Sen was both surprised and angry. The mutual checks among the three Eternity Realm beings were the foundation of the stable coexistence of the three peak civilizations.
But from the Insect Queen's proactive move, the balance... has been broken without his knowledge?
