Chapter 634: Advancing to the Second TierTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

He succeeded in condensing his martial will!

Fang Xingjian combined his martial arts cultivation with the Mountainous Sea’s Book of the Way, the manuals belonging to the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor and the Full Moon Shrine, as well as the profound theories from the Universal Astral Realm Book and from many other sects. With all that, he finally created his own Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique.

Right now, he was completely separated from his physical body as he dashed out toward the sky. It took him only a moment to feel uninhibited, like he could do whatever he wished.

Humans had always been restricted by their own bodies, and there are too many limits to the human body. However, there was no limits to one’s heart.

Right now, Fang Xingjian was moving about in the sky purely in the state of his martial will. He was like an electromagnetic wave, a light wave, or an infrared ray, able to cut across the air and pierce through the clouds at close to 300,000 kilometers per second.

‘So, this is how it feels to travel about the world as one wishes in the state of the martial will?’ Fang Xingjian sighed. ‘It’s no wonder the manual stated that some people in history gave up on their physical body in their cultivation process, existing purely in the form of their martial will.

‘This feeling of being able to do as I wish is really too fantastic.’

However, Fang Xingjian also knew that although the temptation of existing purely as a martial will was very big, there were also unavoidable side effects.

It was just as what Fang Xingjian was feeling now. Even if he condensed his martial will into the Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique, he would still be constantly losing his powers at all times, always needing to replenish with the ether particles energy in the air.

The constant depletion and replenishing would cause one’s martial will to gradually become polluted by the impurities in ether particles. Of course, the stronger the martial will was, the slower the speed of getting polluted would be. However, after the accumulation of months and years, it would still eventually cause the cultivator’s martial will to become impure and their cultivation would regress.

On the contrary, if the martial will was normally stored and protected by the physical body, it would receive nourishment from the body’s vital energy and blood. As such, the body’s physical strength could be constantly transformed into martial will, and one’s power would be a lot more pure.

Moreover, at the second tier of the Divine level, after the cultivator condensed their martial will to create a conjured physique, they would need to reassemble the physical body. This would cause the will and the body to be merged into one, and the cultivator would be able to transit between both states. It is only after this that the cultivator would then be able to strive for the third tier of the Divine level.

Therefore, the physical body was still very important. To abandon the physical body in order for a moment of advantage… The loss would be one’s entire future. Even if the person were to rob someone of their body, they would have to train up that person’s body to the Divine level before the body would be a good match for their martial will. It was only with that would they then be able to continue their cultivation.

Sets of thoughts flashed in Fang Xingjian’s mind at the speed of lightning. Then in that instant, he pierced through the atmosphere layer and arrived in outer space.

He lowered his head and could see that the ground under his feet had turned into a sphere. A huge star appeared under his feet.

‘Is the Miracle World really a planet as well?’

Fang Xingjian then looked up into the sky and saw that amidst the endless darkness, layers and layers of invisible ether particles encompassed the entire planet.

They were invisible and had no form, thus it was very hard for ordinary people to detect them. The ether particles would not affect the sun from shining down either.

However, they contained a tremendous amount of energy. In the eyes of cultivators, especially Divine level experts, they were like countless worlds, wrapping many layers around the planet.

The Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique, which Fang Xingjian had transformed into, shattered with a boom and turned into several hundred thousand small-scale Heaven-Connecting Sword Physiques. Each of them seemed material. They had four sides and looked exactly the same as the large-scale Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique from earlier.

When these small swords were put together, they were like countless building blocks, once again assembled to form Fang Xingjian’s appearance.

Clenching his fists, Fang Xingjian sensed that the body his martial will had transformed into was extremely agile, fast, and filled with endless power. Just by casually clenching his fists, violent gravity would seethe within his body.
