1048 Return (2/2)
Fang Yuan laughed. ”Haha… Do you think I, an early Materialization cultivator with the clam totem, would be able to kill a Primordial Core cultivator with the Phoenix totem?”
”Then it's truly foolproof!” Jin Yuan nodded. ”After all, I'm not a true cultivator and can't offer you much advice regarding cultivation… Moreover, you need to gather the precious materials required for the Hundred Physical Forging Technique yourself as well. It will indeed make things easier relying on a strong force!” Jin Yuan said. ”As long as you remember one thing—before the lightning tribulation, the more nomological laws you comprehend, the better. When you transcend the tribulation, you can only rely on your cultivation and not on magic artifacts and treasures!”
”Oh? Why is that?”
This was the experience of Immortal Hong Chen, and Fang Yuan naturally had to find out more.
”When transcending the tribulation, the tribulation will change according to the individual's strength!” Jin Yuan seemed scared. ”For example, if you hide in the Pantheon Palace, then the power of the lightning tribulation would be able to break the Pantheon Palace apart and then use your life and death as the standard again! The more magic artifacts you carry, the more powerful the lightning tribulation. There would be practically zero chance of survival!
”You must use your cultivation to resist the lightning tribulation! As such, the more nomological laws you comprehend, the better. Additionally, if you can completely comprehend a few nomological laws, there will be unexpected surprises! The lightning tribulation is both a danger and an opportunity. During the tribulation, it will present Great Dao inspirations according to the nomological laws that you've completely comprehended!”
”What? There's such a good deal?” Fang Yuan's eyes opened wide.
”That's what Master said. Of course, this applies only to the nomological laws that you've completely comprehended… However, it appears that the more powerful the nomological laws you comprehend are, the more powerful the lightning tribulation becomes as well. It's a double-edged sword!”
”I see. I'll bear that in mind!” Fang Yuan said solemnly.
Gold Ingot probably only intended for him to build a strong foundation.
However, he did not know how significant this secret was to Fang Yuan!
Before transcending the tribulation, I must fully master the Illusion Realm's nomological laws! I have to master as many other powerful nomological laws as possible as well!
This world gifting this opportunity for Great Dao inspirations was not something found everywhere. Fang Yuan estimated that it would save him at least tens of thousands of years in comprehending the Void Great Dao!
Other Demon Gods would all go crazy if they knew about this.
”Clone mystic technique! Clone mystic technique! I'll return after cultivating for a while longer!”
Fang Yuan was suddenly determined.
…
A month passed.
Barbarian Palace.
”Finally… I've returned!” Fang Yuan exclaimed while looking at the Holy Mountain on the edge of the Barbarian Palace.
After using many methods to test and confirm that Xu Lie had not left anything that would let the Immortals sense him, he naturally returned to the Barbarian Palace with a saunter.
It had been almost a year since he had taken the mission.
Inside the Barbarian Hall.
The current deacon was no longer Nine Leave, but a stone-faced old man named Wu He.
”To think that someone at the mid Materialization realm could finish the Fey killing mission!”
In disbelief, he looked at the weasel head that Fang Yuan submitted.
Even if Fang Yuan had been comprehending nomological laws all this time, the Water Moon Heavenly Cave Secret Manual lived up to its name of being able to cultivate to the Immortal level and had advanced his strength slightly.
”I was lucky I didn't run into Great Fey Pengze!” Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
”Great Fey Pengze. Haha. Pengze is a mess now…” Wu He gloated. ”Six elders from Beichen and Great Fey Pengze vanished together at Pengze. Even an Apotheosis Patriarch from the Holy Mountain mobilized!”
”Oh? What happened?” Fang Yuan feigned surprise.
”That's why you were lucky. Since Great Fey Pengze isn't around, you would naturally be fine killing one of his Materialization subordinates!”
Wu He must have misunderstood something. Or rather, he did not associate Fang Yuan with the missing Primordial Core experts at all. ”Old Patriarch Beichen was from Beichen as well, which was why he was so helpful…”
Fang Yuan could tell from his expression that he was surely not from Beichen.
”All right. According to the regulations, you've finished the Fey killing mission and can now exchange for three magical powers from the Magical Powers Hall and three combat skills from the Combat Skills Hall!” Wu He tossed over a token. ”Keep this safe. It won't be replaced if lost.”
”Thank you, Sir!” Fang Yuan bowed slightly. After leaving the Barbarian Hall, he ran into Bei Tangman.
”Fang Yuan! Where were you all this time?” Bei Tangman's eyes brightened upon seeing Fang Yuan. ”Eh? You've advanced to mid Materialization already?”
”Didn't you as well?” Fang Yuan smiled. ”I went out on a mission. How are the others?”
”Beichen Yan and Black Fury have broken through to the Materialization realm as well. They also had a fierce fight with the seniors! The strongest senior, Dongmu Cai, has already formed her Primordial Core and went up the Holy Mountain to become one of the core disciples.” There was a hint of envy in Bei Tangman's voice.
”I see. Looks like that's all the changes among the disciples.” Fang Yuan sighed intentionally.
”That's not all. Listen… one of the core disciples of the Holy Mountain died!”
Bei Tangman lowered his voice mysteriously. ”It's the one named Xu Lie. The destiny blood jade he left on the Holy Mountain shattered… He died even though he was an Immortal's disciple. And since he couldn't even send back any information, word has it that he died in a secret realm!”
