Chapter 717: The Search
Inside the mysterious space.
Pangu Wu's breathing grew heavy.
He gazed at the drop of blood radiating a transcendent aura, his eyes burning with unbridled desire and longing.
After all, this was the blood of a Transcender!
Once refined, it could become a Transcendent Trait!
For him, possessing this Transcendent Trait would immediately give him the courage to make the Final Leap and strive for the Transcendent Realm—this was his Path to Enlightenment!
But he quickly composed himself and looked at Fang Xing. "You have such good fortune..."
"Master, would you dare to accept this?"
Fang Xing smiled and asked.
"Do you... want to give it to me?" Pangu Wu's eyes widened like bells. "No... even if I refine this, and we form such a deep karmic connection, how can I transcend?"
"The weight of karma is for me to decide. Master can offer precious resources in exchange... besides, I have one condition."
Fang Xing said solemnly, "If Master successfully transcends, you must do one thing for me in the future."
He possessed the Attribute Panel, a rare opportunity that others could hardly imagine.
But the deeper the connection, the deeper the entanglement.
If there were any hidden enemies, they would likely be waiting for him at the Transcendent Realm.
Therefore, Fang Xing needed to accumulate some cards up his sleeve.
Pangu Wu was not weak even at the Eternity Realm, and once he transcended, he might be a valuable ally.
Moreover, the value of this drop of Transcendent Blood had diminished as he continued to advance.
He would definitely not refine this blood to taint his own bloodline.
Using it merely as an auxiliary for true spirit attacks had become increasingly impractical.
At least, Fang Xing was now clear that this blood was still quite useful in the battles of 14th Realm Dao Lords.
But for a 15th Realm Eternal Existence, a mere bloodline aura would not make much difference.
Even if Pangu Wu successfully refined the Transcendent Blood and formed a Transcendent Trait, he would still be far from Fang Xing's current level.
"One thing after transcending? Fine! I swear by my Eternity Mark that I will do it for you."
Pangu Wu raised three fingers and solemnly took the oath.
"Good!"
After becoming an Eternity Realm being, Fang Xing naturally knew some taboos.
For example, his own Eternity Mark!
Oaths and contracts made with this mark were extremely binding, and even after transcending, they could not be easily broken.
After Pangu Wu took the oath, he waved his hand.
The drop of Transcendent Blood naturally fell into Pangu Wu's hand. "I wish you success in refining the Transcendent Blood... but if I haven't transcended when you make the Final Leap, may I observe?"
"Of course."
Pangu Wu nodded.
He felt that Fang Xing already had a Transcendent Trait, and this disciple might actually transcend before him...
...
Daxia Universe.
New Blue Star.
A gray-robed man materialized out of nowhere, his face full of surprise. "I... wasn't I already dead?"
His aura was relatively weak, not even reaching the 13th Realm Law Master.
Standing on New Blue Star, he felt as if he could die at any moment.
This was because the entire New Blue Star had been modified, and even Law Masters and Dao Lords could hardly act freely on the planet.
He looked up and saw a young man with a refined appearance.
Although the youth was incredibly handsome, he exuded an ancient and majestic aura that descended upon him with a thunderous impact.
"Salute... Great Being."
Gray-cloaked Hou quickly bowed.
"Hmm... you're excused."
Fang Xing waved his hand. "I consider you to have a connection with me, so I revived you... you can work under the Blue Star civilization... of course, if you want to join the star civilization or become a cosmic wanderer, that's also fine..."
The current universe would likely be unrecognizable to Gray-cloaked Hou.
Fang Xing even looked forward to Gray-cloaked Hou's reaction when he saw Li Ying, the Yuanzhong Temple, and Little Gray...
After all, although Li Ying's talent was poor, he had "stood his way to victory" and, after the Blue Star civilization dominated the universe, his former subpar subordinates received a significant boost.
Though their strength was still like that of ants, they were now peak 12th Realm beings who had touched the Black Hole level—larger ants, in a sense.
In short, they were stronger than Gray-cloaked Hou.
As for Li Ying's talent... he was just an ordinary person, and his rise to his current high position was entirely due to luck.
After sending the bewildered Gray-cloaked Hou away, the Blue Star civilization would naturally take care of him.
Resolving this karmic connection, Fang Xing felt himself becoming more ethereal, his practice of reducing and emptying reaching an incredibly profound level.
"The remaining karmic connections are only with a few Eternal Existences..."
Fang Xing murmured.
As for the original Palace Master of the Yuanyan Palace? Although he had received a cultivation method from him, he had also kept his promise and saved the Yuanyan Beast once, so there was no significant karmic connection.
Well, strictly speaking, he had also helped Gray-cloaked Hou take revenge, but because Gray-cloaked Hou had helped him when he was weak, and they were both humans, he didn't mind helping a bit more.
As for the Yuanyan Beast?
Given its arrogance back then, it likely wouldn't want help from a human, so he decided to let it be...
...
"Ten Thousand Swords!"
At the headquarters of the Star Civilization.
Myriad Swords Dao Lord was seated in the universe, surrounded by countless sword lights, like a brilliant galaxy.
Suddenly!
An Eternity Mark fell, transforming into Fang Xing's figure.
“This...”
Myriad Swords Dao Lord was instantly taken aback, as if he had just glimpsed the might of Sir Hansen’s Incarnation from years ago.
As a Dao Lord of the Fourteenth Realm, his insight and judgment far surpassed those of Gray-cloaked Hou. His expression turned to one of awe: “Sir Fang Xing... have you already ascended to the Eternity Realm?”
Although Fang Xing was previously a Fourth Step Dao Lord with combat power comparable to an Eternity Realm being, there was a significant difference between being comparably powerful and actually being an Eternity Realm being.
‘I was just worried about those two Insect Eternities waking up soon... and now Sir Fang Xing has already broken through to the Eternity Realm...’
‘Could it be that the next time, he will directly transcend?’
Myriad Swords Dao Lord was genuinely astonished.
As a high-ranking member of a peak civilization, he was well aware of the difficulty in breaking through to the Eternity Realm.
Just the 'Path of Enlightenment' alone was a formidable barrier.
Fang Xing’s breakthrough was already surprising, but the speed at which he achieved it was even more astonishing.
After all, Sir Hansen himself hadn’t even awoken yet!
“Indeed, I am now in the Eternity Realm.”
Fang Xing spoke calmly.
From today onward, even if the Blue Star civilization still had shallow roots, it would be a genuine peak civilization.
After all, with an Eternity Realm being backing it, who would dare to look down on this civilization?
“Excellent!”
Myriad Swords Dao Lord’s expression was filled with excitement: “With this, once Sir Hansen recovers, even if the insect race has two Eternity Realm beings, we will have nothing to fear...”
“Has Sir Hansen not yet awoken?”
Fang Xing nodded and then shook his head: “Never mind... I will deal with the two Insect Eternities myself.”
Even at the Fourth Step Dao Lord stage, he possessed the combat power of an Eternity Realm being.
Now that he had broken through, his strength far exceeded that of Pangu Wu.
Moreover, with the 'Heavenly Gate' and the 'Eternity Mark' he had cultivated, finding an Eternity Realm being in this world wasn’t too difficult.
Besides, since the two Insect Eternities were in a state of slumber, it was the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
“Sir Fang Xing... please don’t act rashly. Sir Hansen will awaken within a few years, any moment now.”
Myriad Swords Dao Lord urged him, not wanting Fang Xing to encounter any danger, or worse, fall.
At that point, it would surely be a great calamity for humanity!
“Don’t worry...”
Fang Xing reassured him, and his figure suddenly vanished...
...
New Blue Star.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, placing an Eternity Mark on the 'Heavenly Gate.'
Although he had fully refined the Heavenly Gate while at the Dao Lord stage, it was only after ascending to the Eternity Realm that Fang Xing could wield it with greater ease.
Using the Heavenly Gate, he restored the vision of a Transcender, as if a fish had suddenly grown wings, not only leaping out of the water but also gaining the ability to fly briefly, allowing him to overlook the entire River of Time and Space from a higher vantage point!
At a certain node in the River of Time and Space, within the Daxia Universe.
“Hmm? So Hansen is hiding here?”
Fang Xing saw a broken spaceship.
This ship was hidden in a speck of dust in the dark universe, with a peculiar black cross shape, almost resembling something left behind by a Transcender.
Although it was mostly ruined, the traces of Dao patterns emanating from the broken parts were terrifying.
Even a typical Eternity Realm being would not have been able to detect the existence of this spaceship.
Fang Xing, however, found the Black Cross Ship and saw a figure lying in a nutrient pod inside.
“Indeed, it is Hansen...”
“I’ve only seen his Incarnation... I didn’t expect his true appearance to be so ordinary...”
Fang Xing shook his head as he observed the gaunt features of the person.
Then, his gaze shifted to the insect territory.
Although he discovered several hidden insect Dao Lords, the two Insect Eternities were nowhere to be found.
“Hmm?”
Fang Xing’s eyes flickered, and his vision expanded.
“Not a trace of them in the entire Daxia Universe... Could it be?”
The Heavenly Gate roared, and Fang Xing immediately saw beyond the Daxia Universe.
In a remote, broken world-level secret realm, shrouded by endless chaos streams, two Insect Eternities were in a deep slumber.
They had transformed into two enormous cocoon-like structures, each the size of a star, with powerful insect warriors guarding them.
“They are quite cunning, hiding outside the universe...”
The Daxia Universe was itself a world of the Heavens.
Escaping to the outside of the world indeed allowed them to avoid most pursuits.
Fang Xing even saw a large number of insects, like diligent worker ants, tirelessly transforming that secret realm, likely preparing it as a retreat for the insect race.
‘No matter how good the secret realm is... the resources and world level are definitely far inferior to a world of the Heavens...’
‘Growing in such a small, medium, or even large world will only limit the potential of the insect race, and over time, they will degenerate...’
