2025-03-20 19:29:40"Fair enough!" Gao Weiguang did not seem surprised at Fang Yu's reply. If anything, he was impressed that the latter did not jump right away into a decision. Beside him however, Ting Lanyue and Yue Ruhuo were dumbfounded.
"Does that mean you're considering it? You don't have a screw loose in your brain, do you?" The latter asked as he stared at Fang Yu incredulously. Ting Lanyue tugged at Fang Yu's shirt and whispered, "Your only answer should be a direct rejection. The rest of us have deep history with Master, hence our decision, but it's not the same for you." The curious light in Fang Yu's eyes did not waver and he spoke honestly, "I'm not a dummy. I just want to carefully analyze what's on the table." "And that is? A death wish?" "An opportunity like this surely isn't easy to come by," Fang Yu said. "My innate aptitude isn't high, so this might just be my turning point." Gao Weiguang looked at Fang Yu strangely and asked, "Didn't you hear me earlier when I said your potential is enough to get you to the demigod realm?" "I don't know what that is but it doesn't sound as cool as becoming a god," Fang Yu replied. In this matter, he wasn't actually to blame; mortals on the planet ignorantly addressed all divine practitioners that could fly as gods without knowing that there were actually several sub-distinctions. "A demigod is a divine practitioner at the sixth cultivation realm and by no means weak," Yue Ruhuo piped up to speak. "Just sixth, not enough," Fang Yu muttered under his breath. His brows lifted as he started to ask a question. "I–" "If you assimilate a godshard, your minimum potential alone will enter the tenth cultivation realm, also known as the Dao Fruit Realm," Gao Weiguang answered the question before Fang Yu could ask. "A G godshard is the remnant essence of a Dao Fruit, and my perfect integration method allows you not only inherit the potential of that stage but also includes additional growth potential." "I'm in," Fang Yu threw away all scruples and finally agreed in a firm tone, to the utter indignation of Yue Ruhuo and Ting Lanyue. "Since that's settled..." Gao Weiguang made a final hand sign, "All four of you, get in front of the pillars and relax." Pei Xue was the first to comply, quickly moving to stand with her back to the first pillar. Fang Yu was mildly surprised; she had been so quiet during the fiasco that he forgot she was present. At the moment, the deadpan look in her eyes was gone, replaced by a fierce glint that screamed vengeance. Yue Ruhuo was the next, occupying the pillar next to Lu Li. Ting Lanyue and Fang Yu took the remaining two pillars. Just as they settled into position, a deafening boom sounded, followed by a violent distortion of the divine plane. "Ignore that," Gao Weiguang said. "Let's get started." With these words, Gao Weiguang threw out the four Godshards in his hands towards the pillars. They landed accurately, embedding into the small grooves on each pillar. Fang Yu felt himself get dragged backwards by a suction force from the pillar behind him so that his back was stuck against it. Simultaneously, a searing sensation filled his body. Boom! The surroundings in Fang Yu's view changed abruptly in the blink of an eye. Instead of the grand fancy hall with the four pillars, he found himself in a vast expanse of pitch darkness. Almost immediately, Fang Yu sensed he now lacked a corporeal form. Even stranger was the fact that he seemed to exist simultaneously as the pitch darkness itself as well as a detached observer within it. Putting two and two together, he quickly made some speculations. 'This state...is it what martial artists call inner sight? Am I in some sort of psyche embodiment state right now?' Just as more thoughts began to emerge in Fang Yu's mind, an explosion on the scale of a supernova occurred within the pitch dark space. Boom! As the nexus of the pitch dark world, Fang Yu's psyche immediately bore the brunt of the explosive, distortive forces that permeated everywhere and almost collapsed under the strain. Fortunately for him, a set of runes appeared out of nowhere and encased around his psyche like a body armour at the last second, helping him withstand the outburst. 'Hell, aren't this the runes Master inscribed on the black pillars?' Fang Yu realized as he raised a hand to his face. Apparently, the interlinked runes formed a sturdy body shell for Fang Yu's psyche to occupy, buying him some time. Fang Yu did not dwell further on this detail and instead observed the destruction going on around him. 'This pitch dark world should be the equivalent of my inner world. The destructive energy wrecking the space is from the godshard I'm presently integrating with, manifested in form of the nebula chaos cloud!' It suddenly dawned on Fang Yu that the latter continued to expand while the former shrank. This realization made him somber up and his thoughts instantly flowed faster. 'What I have to do now is nullify the nebula or at least get it under control. Since this is my inner world, my psyche might be useful here.' Fang Yu immediately tested out his hypothesis, attempting to manifest an object from his imagination by utilizing his 'I am the pitch dark space, the pitch dark space is me' status. Astonishingly, a longsword abruptly materialized exactly as he envisioned it. Fang Yu suppressed his excitement and focused his thoughts, expanding the mental construct in front of him to an unbelievably colossal size that made his psyche body seem microscopic in comparison. Afterwards, he stabbed two fingers forward and the sword moved at the same time, slashing towards the center of the nebula. The expected explosion did not occur. Instead, the colossus sword was cleanly 'devoured' and vanished. 'This..!' Fang Yu's psyche sensed that the longsword had actually been broken down and assimilated right as it entered the periphery of the nebula cloud's radius. Maybe....this has something to do with how nebulas work in real time? Fang Yu's mind instinctively entered an overtime state to dig out relevant information from his memories. Perhaps the fact that he hadn't been privileged to get much of a formal education in his previous life was a major determinant, but back when Fang Yu was Sun Wentian on Earth, he had been very interested in learning and studied by himself to become versed in a lot of arcane knowledge. Astronomy and the sciences were his forte, particularly because he had an innate curiosity about the world and the mysteries surrounding it. As a matter of fact, since his soul transmigrated to the Eternal Purgatory World, Fang Yu had nursed a feeling that the knowledge he carried with him from Earth would be of use someday. Four years later, at this very moment, this fledgling suspicion was proved right. 'When a nebula explodes, it throws the surrounding space into chaos as it expands. But after a while, the embryonic form of a star is formed at the center, with the remaining material flattening into a planetary disc.' Fang Yu's thoughts flowed more smoothly now more than ever as he continued his analysis, 'Technically speaking, I can't destroy this nebula cloud no matter what I try as it is composed of energy, which cannot be created or destroyed. However, utilizing the approach of transforming the energy might be the key to maintaining control over the present chaos."

By the time Fang Yu thought to this point, about eighty percent of his Source Space had already been assimilated by the expanding nebula. However, he did not panic and rapidly exerted all his psyche power to manifest an apparition from the recess of his subconscious.It was a miniature celestial system consisting of one star, nine orbiting planets and their moons. Overall, it was a rough replica of the solar system of his home world from his past life, Earth.The nebula closed in, shrinking Fang Yu's psyche and his atavistic solar system into a singularity point. For quite a while, the balance held, but just as Fang Yu's psyche began to relax ever so slightly as if to celebrate that his spur-of-the-moment idea actually turned out to be feasible, the expansion of the nebula chaos cloud quickened out of the blue and the fragile solar system model was cleanly devoured.

The Glory Merchants Inn, although dilapidated and run down, was actually an ancient edifice that had existed since the inception of Qinlingjun City. In a mere span of a few seconds however, it was completely wrecked and reduced to rubbles.The culprits, two rogue-looking cultivators, hovered above the site as they engaged in an intense battle confrontation, throwing deadly attacks at each other. Clearly, the explosion was a result of a divine art one of them had cast in combat just now. As they fought, they paid no heed to the damage they were causing to the surroundings, including innocent passers-bys trying to flee from the scene. As a matter of fact, the rush was so intense that a stampede occurred."Hey, put me down right now!" Balanced precariously across Pei Xue's left shoulder, Fang Yu's expression alternated between panic at the situation and intense embarrassment.

Beside Fang Yu, Pei Xue grimaced as she stared at the blood Avatar. The latter was looking at her disapprovingly."Master, I thought.....Pei Xue told me you were captured?" Fang Yu expressed his surprise. "As you should be able to tell, this is only an Avatar, not my original self!" Of course, the blood avatar was not actually speaking but manipulated the air around him to create sound waves. His gaze left Pei Xue and he continued. "I secretly left this on you as a contingency against malicious situations."Fang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For a while now, he had been on tenterhooks with Pei Xue around him.

In ancient times, Spirit was both the trigger and path of cultivation.The first humans didn't possess mystical bloodlines like Demonic beasts. Neither did they possess godly physiques for that matter; that only started manifesting in few humans very recently as innate gifts. The earliest humans first discovered the path of cultivation when they accidentally utilized willpower to simulate divine abilities.In those times, it was natural that the humans possessed high willpowers. After all, they were born weak and were competing for survival with apex predators, ones that had natural physical advantages and additional bloodline abilities to boot.

A silent tremor shook the foundation of Xiantu World as the green-eyed Immortal in black robes landed on the planet.With one step, he completely neutralized the resistance of the Heavenly Will of the small world. By the second step, his Dao Fruit had already taken its place, temporarily acting as a replacement Overseer. Simultaneously, a heavy sensation of impending calamity gripped the minds of the native residents."He has stabilized his new cultivation base to this extent already?" On a remote, nondescript island somewhere on the planet, Immortal Xuan Qing clenched his fists tightly as he gazed thoughtfully at the familiar cultivator whose figure was clearly reflected in the sky.Having condensed a Grand Dao Fruit and become a Grand Primordium Immortal, the black-robed cultivator, Jia Ping, was on a whole different level compared to common Immortals, especially having stabilized his new realm. As Immortal Xuan Qing was only at the peak of the Grand Immortal Realm himself, he under
Nexus Grandmaster Eternal Purgatory World
The Great Cosmological Void was a dimensionless void of nothingness with no light, matter or energy. Observing it from an omnipresent perspective, it was akin to an infinite vacuum.On closer inspection however, the Great Cosmological Void was not entirely empty; it had numerous infinitesimal 'anti-vacuum zones' irregularly scattered throughout it. These zones were actually independent universes each, comprising the matrix playground of all reality– the infinite planes and realms housing sentient lifeforms.Every universe existing within the Great Cosmological Void possessed an intrinsic radiance that protected them from erosion of the infinite vacuum, albeit temporarily. Eventually, everything was bound to return to nothingness over the long span of a universe's lifespan, the only exception being if one could cultivate to step out of the restrictions of the universal rules and attain true eternity.This constituted a universal principle; the Great Cosmological Void was invincible bel

Meeting Fellow Disciples
Within the space tunnel created by his teleportation divine art, Gao Weiguang cast a fog spell around Fang Yu to isolate his sensory perception, making his view appear quite hazy and distant."As a mortal, observing chaotic space with your naked eye can throw you into epileptic spasm," Gao Weiguang's voice appeared in Fang Yu's mind. "Actually, if it wasn't for the Mind Stabilizing Pill I gave you to consume earlier, you would be puking your guts out by now."Hearing this, Fang Yu sharply restrained his curiosity and waited quietly until they exited the spatial tunnel.The first view that Fang Yu saw was a large, black tree that had an exceptionally thick trunk but no branches at all. It towered high up in the sky with a vast stretch of empty space on all sides.Fang Yu turned to Gao Weiguang and asked, "Master, where is this place?" He noticed there was nothing in the sky where the three suns and five moons were supposed to be."This is not the main world you're used to," Gao Weiguan

"Has no one ever told you that trying to stay clear of suspicion makes you the most suspicious person?" the old man asked while examining Fang Yu with great interest.Fang Yu's eyes narrowed calculatively. The thin layer of luminous light around the man's body was all he needed to know that he was a divine practitioner and therefore invulnerable to any trump card he presently possessed. Although fatally lethal to mortals like himself, his water gun posed next to zilch danger to cultivators as the disparity in strength was too great.Fang Yu's 'weapon' was actually a foreign invention from another word; he was a transmigator from planet Earth who had been a factory line manager until he died in a tragic accident at the age of thirty. By some sorcery unknown to him, he woke up to a new body in the Eternal Purgatory World afterwards. But it wasn't an unwelcome development at all; he was now a youngster without a receding hairline. There was the opportunity to pursue cultivation– the prac
