Chapter 1067: Sneaking In
“Not here!”
“Not here!”
“Not here!”
…
Fang Yuan was dressed white and lying on a bed, throwing a jade slip into the void.
These were treasures he had secretly obtained from the Holy Mountain, just like how he stole magical powers and mystic techniques from the Myriad Symbols Palace and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
With his knowledge and experience, coupled with the aid of the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, he definitely had the makings of the greatest thief in the world.
However, even though there were quite a lot of peerless magical powers and mystic techniques, he still did not obtain the clone technique that he had desired.
Still, the barbarians had some research in this area, and some notes had opened his eyes.
“A true clone technique isn’t just two separate clones but creating two true individual entities. Even if one dies, the other one can still survive, which is why they’re famous for granting another life. There aren’t any among the barbarians… but I did obtain some information! There are three ways!
“The first is the Second Essence Soul Method. You cultivate a second essence soul and attach it on a peerless treasure to form a connate dao body!”
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, gritting his teeth. “But the disadvantage of this Second Essence Soul Method is that an outside cultivation sect created it. Not to mention how difficult it is to find a peerless treasure, but most importantly, it’s a connate dao body and not a barbarian body. It quite possibly wouldn’t even have a totem!”
The barbarians were indeed the race with the most potential he had ever seen.
Although their comprehension ability might be weak, the Heavenly Dao was fair. They had bloodline magical powers with corresponding nomological laws. This was invaluable!
“The second method would be the Soul Splitting Method… By directly splitting yourself into many bodies, each would have their own magical powers. If one dies, it’s possible to cultivate another one. But the disadvantage is that this method wasn’t passed down. Moreover, it’s easy for the mind to become confused… Of course, the greatest disadvantage to me is the materialization. What’s the point of having the exact same Clam Dragon materialization?”
Fang Yuan sighed. “In this case… I can only choose the last method, the Soul Possession Method!”
This method was similar to a combination of the Second Essence Soul Method and the Soul Splitting Method—split the essence soul into two and use the new essence soul to possess someone!
“This method might be extremely dangerous, but it’s undoubtedly the most suitable for me. Even if I lose that Bamboo, I’ll still be able to find a suitable person with a totem with aptitude in the Nomological Laws of Time… Even if it’s slightly inferior to the Torch Dragon, I’ll be able to make up for it with the Pantheon Enhancement Technique…”
Fang Yuan was a little shocked thinking about it this way.
This possession method coupled with the Pantheon Enhancement Technique could turn into an unmatched method for mass-producing genius barbarians!
This was something that could affect the entire world.
“Of course… all of the cloning methods have a common weakness—the Heavenly Dao!”
Fang Yuan got up, walked to the window, and gazed at the full moon and the clouds in the sky.
“Having a clone is equivalent to having two lives and will certainly incur the jealousy of the heavens! The power of lightning tribulation would be twice the usual!”
Fang Yuan looked solemn as he recalled some secrets he had seen.
These experiences the Barbarian Ancestral Court had accumulated after thousands of years would naturally not be false.
“Lightning tribulation!”
Without a doubt, this was a test of this entire world, and it was completely impossible to use foreign knowledge to speculate.
The stronger and more perfect an individual was, the greater the tribulation they would attract.
Fang Yuan had no doubt that, given his magical powers and ease of comprehending nomological laws, the lightning tribulation he would attract when he reached the peak of the Apotheosis realm would be surely terrifying!
“According to the past barbarian experts, it is foolish to rely on foreign objects during the tribulation, not even talismans and pills!
“Moreover, the more genius the cultivator is, the greater the tribulation will be!
“In summary, it will be a slim chance of survival to transcend the tribulation, even more so if you have comprehended heaven-defying nomological laws…”
…
Fang Yuan’s mouth turned upward slightly.
Would he be afraid knowing this?
“I will never give up the strength of the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws! Not to mention, the greater the risk, the greater the rewards…”
It was not all bad during the lightning tribulation. There were corresponding Great Dao inspirations.
Even Immortals would envy such an opportunity. Unfortunately, each cultivator could only go through it once.
“Throughout history, there was no lack of geniuses who comprehended many nomological laws and wanted to benefit from the lightning tribulation. However, such geniuses are now mostly ash… Your greatest enemy to transcending the lightning tribulation is you yourself, and the greatest taboo is greed… But… I’m not an ordinary person nor an ordinary genius!”
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth. “Not only do I have to completely comprehend the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, but I also have to comprehend the Nomological Laws of Saber, and even the Nomological Laws of Time… I would be a real joke if I deliberately choose those lesser nomological laws because I was afraid of the power of the lightning tribulation!”
As soon as he thought about this, an indomitable energy emerged from him.
At the same time, a faint feeling seemed to have coincided with a certain Great Dao. In his heart, the Nomological Laws of Saber reached perfection.
“Have I finally comprehended a full set of nomological laws? The Nomological Laws of Saber?”
Fang Yuan took out the Nine Profound Spirit Blade and waved it around a few times, feeling that he was wielding something heavy as though it were light, and everything was going according to his wishes.
“Saber Heart… is Dao Heart! I was just a bit away from completely comprehending the Nomological Laws of Saber, and I’ve finally broken through that last layer!”
Of course, this last step had caused many to stumble from time immemorial.
Fang Yuan was elated, almost laughing out loud.
The completion of the Nomological Laws of Saber meant that he could understand all saber manuals with a single glance and create saber techniques at will. He could even use the saber to enter the Dao.
“The Nomological Laws of Saber is one of the stronger sets of nomological laws for attacking, specialized in killing… I have a hunch that this is enough to escape from ordinary Apotheosis realm cultivators with just these nomological laws and my Primordial Core cultivation. If our cultivations are equal, I can definitely kill my opponent if they don’t have any special nomological laws protecting them!”
A cold light flashed through his eyes.
Nomological laws could be divided into various levels.
The Nomological Laws of Saber, for example, was somewhere in the middle.
The simple Nomological Laws of Earth and Water were comparable to each other. The Nomological Laws of the Five Elements belonged to the top level, just a little bit lower than nomological laws such as the Illusion Realm and time.
Moreover, different nomological laws had different usages, and there might be some mysteries hidden within.
Of course, even for the cultivators from the outside world, they would be considered geniuses if they could comprehend a set of mid-level nomological laws.
As for those who comprended nomological laws on the level of the Five Elements, even Immortal Patriarchs would fight each other over them to get them to join their cultivation Holy Lands, and they would become a core disciple at the very least.
And the final class with the Illusion Realm and time? Those only existed in legends!
“The dangers facing the barbarians have been resolved. I’ve also seen enough of the secrets of magical powers. Next, I should continue with my original plan—roaming the world after I have the power to defend myself and searching for a clone technique!”
After some thought, Fang Yuan changed into a blue robe with a scholar’s hat, the clothes of an outside cultivator. He looked at the mirror and saw an elegant and handsome young man overflowing with the air of an immortal, without the trace of a barbarian.
“As long as I don’t reveal my totem, who would know that I’m a barbarian?” Fang Yuan felt very satisfied. “From now on… I am Venerable Illusion Realm—Situ Zhaixing!”
Immediately afterward, his body disappeared into the void, impressively teleporting.
…
Moonview City.
Originally one of the three major core tribes of the barbarians, it had now become a base camp of the cultivators.
Huge restriction arrays rose into the sky. The cultivators and the demon cultivators occupied a corner each. There was some hostility in their cooperation.
“It’s not too late to go out to the world after seeing what’s in this camp!”
Fang Yuan was bold. His body ran into the boundaries of the arrays while hidden in the void.
Poof!
A crack appeared in the void, and he squeezed out like a fish.
“Are things ending just like this?”
Within the center palace, several Immortals gathered.
Immortal Myriad Soul frowned with obvious reluctance.
“What else can we do? The demon head that is suppressed by the Barbarian Ancestral Court is definitely a first-class ‘Grand Unity’. Only the Grand Supreme elders from a few Holy Lands can suppress it,” Kun Lunzi said without hesitation. “Anyway, the barbarians are willing to cut half of their land, and their Immortals and army are joining the Combat Heavenly Palace. They will be an additional force in our war against the otherworldly demons!”
“Hmph! Your Orthodox Dao is obviously happy. Our Revenant Soul Sect only agreed to the invasion to gather soul refining treasures. It’s neither here nor there now, so who’s going to pay for our loss?” Venerable Myriad Soul frowned.
“Myriad Soul, you can ask the barbarians if you’re unhappy…” Kun Lunzi said with a chuckle.
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” Immortal Myriad Soul sneered and took his seat.
“Hehe… Your Revenant Soul Sect only captured the Agonizing Eagle Gorge in this three-line attack and slaughtered blindly. More than a hundred thousand barbarians died under your hands,” said an Orthodox Dao Immortal with pity on his face.
“How could your attacks have succeeded without my sect’s possession method and us sending a large number of disciples into their midst? They worked hard and alone for so many years to find the vulnerabilities of the arrays in the barbarian camps.”
Immortal Myriad Soul rolled his eyes. “Isn’t this contribution?”
…
A group of Immortals who were usually above all was now flushed with agitation for their personal benefits. It was a sight to behold.
“No wonder they had to clear the place in advance. They couldn’t let those Primordial Core realm and Apotheosis realm disciples see this, afraid of showing that Immortal Patriarchs were also human with the seven emotions and six desires!”
Fang Yuan stood in midair, covered by a void barrier in front of him. None of these Immortals actually discovered him!
“Hmm, looks like my space concealment technique can also hide me from ordinary Immortals!” He was very satisfied with this. He looked into the eyes of Immortal Myriad Soul with a glare. “How dare he launched that massacre? No matter what I do, I will be enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens!”
