Chapter 633 (2/2)
Lan Yue waved her hand and said, “You guys should bring Senior Astral Ancestor away to rest. I’ll stay here to keep watch over Fang Xingjian.”
The Lonestar Knight and the other two nodded, then they carefully helped the Astral Ancestor walk away. Their eyes were filled with hope. If their Master could recover, then there would still be hope for the Myriad Stars Palace.
The three of them left with the Astral Ancestor, leaving behind only Fang Xingjian, who was focused on his cultivation, and Lan Yue, who was standing next to him. The Lonestar Knight had also given the order to forbid anyone from getting close.
Fang Xingjian had completely sunk into the profoundness of the Universal Astral Realm Book. The first thing he studied, or rather the primary thing he wanted to study, was the Myriad Stars Palace’s means of cultivating the martial will and the means of forging a conjured physique—the Astral Spiritual Physique.
All living things were affected by astral powers, and the greatest astral power that affected them was naturally the power of the star under their feet. This force was also known by many other names, including gravitational forces.
The Astral Spiritual Physique was the process of changing the balance of the gravity in one’s body, making use of the earth’s gravity to forcefully forge a conjured physique after combining with one’s martial will.
Once the person succeeded, they would be able to be just like the Astral Ancestor earlier. They would be able to use the martial will directly to gather and make use of gravity, displaying endless and amazing prowess. With just the raising of a hand or a foot, there would be endless powers, and as one’s martial will increased, so would their ability to control the gravitational force.
Once Fang Xingjian merged this method into his sword arts, the prowess of his deathly sword intents and the damaging prowess of his Celestial Eradication Sword Formation would increase again.
After one day and one night, Fang Xingjian let out a long breath. Countless rocks and sand in the surroundings seemed to have lost their gravitational pull and were floating up.
‘Gravity… it’s everywhere…
‘And it’s one of the strongest power to use against space and time.’
Although the Universal Astral Realm Book’s description of the gravitational forces was extremely profound, it was just right for Fang Xingjian. The knowledge that would take the Astral Ancestor several decades or until he was over 100 years old to understand was something that Fang Xingjian was able to comprehend immediately.
He even thought back on the things he had learned in the past to verify against what was written in the Universal Astral Realm Book.
‘The Supreme Chief’s Astral Obscurity Sword is a means of using gravity. This was why he was able to move through spatial gaps and achieve that kind of effect.
‘And it’s the same for my Infiltrating Void. It’s essence is also gravity…’
Countless sword lights flashed in Fang Xingjian’s eyes, and his body suddenly deteriorated. Then a black sword intent swelled up, bursting out from his body and turning into a black longsword that soared up into the sky.
The black longsword continued to condense and distort, taking on a physical form. Its form also became increasingly clearer.
It was a black longsword which had a total of four sides, with each side inscribed with the words Infiltrating Void, Light Pursuit, All-Conquering, and Instant respectively. The moment the longsword took its form, waves of killing aura came surging.
A thunderous sound rang out in the air, and it seemed as if the entire world was going to be shocked by this killing aura.
Then at the next moment, the longsword paused slightly and charged out toward the sky.
Upon seeing this scene, Lan Yue was taken by surprise. ‘This… Is he trying to condense his martial will? No, he’s trying to condense his martial will while striving to challenge the Nine-Tiered Heavens and reach the second tier of the Divine level…? This is too crazy!’
