Standing before Xiao Shen, Fang Xingjian blinked, and a hint of inexplicable gleam flashed in his eyes.

This Cosmic Cube was something he had casually created with his illusory arts. Even he had no idea what kind of principles it held, so how did Xiao Shen manage to comprehend it? Moreover, this was not the first time something like this had happened in the recent few months.

‘Interesting… Tapping into the knowledge of this world’s consciousness and forcibly comprehending some kind of truth from this delusion….? What kind of martial technique is this?’

Right now, Xiao Shen was like Ouyang Feng who had practiced a corrupted version of the Nine Yin Manual. It could even possibly be even more ridiculous.

This was because he had managed to comprehend powerful martial arts from some nonsense that Fang Xingjian had come up with.

Fang Xingjian could faintly sense that Xiao Shen had not really comprehended something, but that he had learned some kind of special martial technique from the world’s consciousness after a prolonged period of oppression.

“Excellent. I’ve already decrypted a large part of the principles behind these weapons,” Xiao Shen said, clenching his fist. Inwardly, he planned in silence, “Although I’m still unable to create similar weapons, what I’ve comprehended has allowed my martial arts to gain a qualitative leap…”

Just then, two waves of pressure descended from the sky, and an intense weather change started occurring in the area within a range of 1,000 lis.

Xiao Shen raised his head fiercely. “Masters have also succeeded.”

Qian Huang and Ru Zi walked out from the stone chamber where they had been training in seclusion. Their eyes gleamed in great spirits, and as they moved their hands or legs, there were waves of great worldly prestige.

After spending one whole year, the two of them had completed the absorption of a set of the Great Dao’s Testimony. This Great Dao’s Testimony had been pa.s.sed down from the great Five Elements Sect from the righteous path 1,000 years ago. They were said to have been the Dao teachings left behind by the legendary Priest Wuxing ¹ and possessed the authority to dominate the powers of the five elements in the world.

Right now, the duo’s minds were connected, and they had also jointly integrated this set of Great Dao’s Testimony from the Five Elements Sect. If they were to activate it together, they would be able to control the energy changes within a range of 1,000 lis.

The high-speed changes that had occurred earlier were what they had done after they attained the breakthrough.

Xiao Shen stood outside the stone chamber to welcome the duo. He wore a hint of haggardness on his face, and there were apparent black dark circles around his eyes. Even his body seemed to have become a lot skinnier than before.

Clearly, the hard work he had devoted to his research over the past few months had caused his body to become weak.

However, compared to the weakening of his physical body, a great vigor shone in his eyes. He looked at Qian Huang and Ru Zi and said happily, “Teachers, the two of you have finally reached the Great Dao Realm as well.”

Qian Huang nodded and looked toward Fang Tao, Fang Yuan, and Loree who were behind Xiao Shen. When he sensed that the trio’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Tiangang Realm, he was also slightly taken by surprise.

He had not expected that these three heaven-blessed cultivators’ cultivation would be able to improve so quickly. Within less than a year, they had reached the pinnacle of the Disha Realm, and now, they had once again attained a breakthrough to the pinnacle of the Tiangang Realm.

This was naturally because Fang Xingjian had been stimulating and guiding the trio’s martial arts cultivation while he was observing these three heaven-blessed cultivators. Due to this, not only did Fang Xingjian’s research of the heaven-blessed cultivator continue to deepen but the trio’s martial arts cultivation had also improved at a tremendous rate.

Seeing Qian Huang and Ru Zi, Fang Tao asked immediately, “Seniors, when can we integrate the Great Dao’s Testimony and step into the Great Dao Realm?” Although Fang Tao was the one who asked, both Fang Yuan and Loree looked over with great antic.i.p.ation.

They had reached the Tiangang Realm and could be said to be legends in the pugilistic world, joining the ranks of the group of people who were at the very top.

However, ever since the news of the battle in Lihe City spread, the trio had become even warier about the imperial court’s strength. They understood that reaching the Tiangang Realm would still be insufficient for them to contend with the imperial court. Therefore, their pursuit toward the Great Dao Realm became increasingly pressing.

Qian Huang and Ru Zi silently exchanged a glance and nodded.

Previously, they had not expected that the trio would be able to attain breakthroughs at such a rapid rate. Furthermore, they had also wanted to wait until they themselves had completed their breakthrough and become able to completely suppress the trio in power before bringing out the Great Dao’s Testimony.

Still, since the trio had popped the question, both Qian Huang and Ru Zi planned on just going with the flow and agreeing to their request.

Therefore, under the accompaniment of Xiao Shen, Qian Huang, and Ru Zi, the trio entered the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ treasury. Each of them chose a set of Great Dao’s Testimony that they would workon integrating with.

It was from here that they once again witnessed how strong the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ foundations were. Other than the Great Dao’s Testimony that they themselves had inherited, they had clearly gathered a tremendous amount of Great Dao’s Testimonies which other ancient sects or legendary experts had left behind.

As Fang Xingjian observed the process in which the trio integrated the Great Dao’s Testimonies, his study of the heaven-blessed cultivators also deepened.

Furthermore, with the terrifying calculative prowess provided by the nine continents, Fang Xingjian made a breakthrough in his studies.

In the greatest depths of the underground a.r.s.enal, a young girl who was 1.4 meters in height was curled up, hugging her lotus root-like legs while floating in midair.

Her long white hair drifted along with the wind like flames, and her ruby-like eyes emitted a demonic glow. It was as if there was blood flowing within her eyes.

“I’ve finally… succeeded… My android.”

Looking at the white-haired young girl before him, Fang Xingjian finally broke into a satisfied smile. He had spent a total of two years in his research and made over 100 attempts within a few months’ time.

Fang Xingjian had also gathered countless heavenly and earthly treasures and all sorts of resources from across the entire Middle-earth. Now, he had finally created this android and successfully transplanted Blood Sea’s life mark and his authority as a heaven-blessed cultivator onto her.

At this moment, this android was a heaven-blessed cultivator that was recognized by the world’s consciousness.

Fang Xingjian was able to connect with her consciousness at any time or place, making her listen to his every command.

‘So that’s how it is.’ Fang Xingjian freely roamed within the entire world’s consciousness, using the android as a hub.

There seemed to be countless pieces of data flas.h.i.+ng on his eyeball. Many historical poetries, stories, and a myriad of legends and myths flashed before him.

Right now, what appeared before Fang Xingjian were the stories that had happened in countless worlds.

The many worlds gathered together, and innumerable timelines crossed and stacked above each other, entangling together. However, they kept on branching out as well, producing even more timelines, eventually forming a ma.s.sive human figure that was hard to calculate.

When Fang Xingjian saw this giant once again, he understood even more from the information that had flashed past earlier on. Using the authority that heaven-blessed cultivators had, his own astonis.h.i.+ng calculative abilities, the excessive calculative abilities from nine regions, and the effects of his high-dimensional sword arts which allowed him to look from a strategically advantageous position, he finally gained a further understanding about this world.

‘Are you in a slumber?

‘You’re slowly healing your injuries through the heaven-blessed cultivators and the Tiangang and Disha system.

‘But what kind of existence was it that was able to defeat you?’

Right now, Fang Xingjian already understood that the consciousness of the ‘person’ formed from countless worlds was the world’s consciousness.

The heaven-blessed cultivators were part of this world’s consciousness that had been revived.

Within the duration of a few centuries, they had continuously gotten stronger, dominated the world, and then died, once again turning into nourishment for the world’s consciousness.

Countless worlds, countless planets, and countless heaven-blessed cultivators were born, lasting until they died. They kept on nouris.h.i.+ng the world’s consciousness, healing its injuries time and time again.
