Chapter 1196: Fang Yu Can Be Called King! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Before the Nine Cosmos Chaos Stele, Fang Yu was contemplating the mysteries of the nine paintings.

This supreme human treasure can guide one to automatically comprehend countless cultivation arts; if one comprehends the Metal Element's origin, studying this supreme treasure aids the cultivator in fusing the Metal Element's origin with spatial laws, imbuing every strike and every sword qi with immense spatial pressure, increasing speed and lethality exponentially.

Likewise, those who comprehend the Earth Element's law can merge their Earth law with spatial power—when they punch, an unimaginably heavy Earth Realm emerges, capable of sealing off all escape routes, forcing the opponent to watch helplessly as endless torrents of earth bury them.

Cultivators who comprehend Water, Fire, Wood, Wind, or Thunder can also attempt to fuse their comprehension with the origin of space, enhancing the power of their techniques.

As for Fang Yu, while contemplating the Nine Cosmos Chaos Stele, he unconsciously generated countless cultivation secrets within his mind.

Indeed, by observing the Nine Cosmos Chaos Stele, he could create arts.

Five Elements, Yin-Yang, Stars, Chaos, Disasters… Fang Yu possessed too many profound arts; when the great Dao techniques of two worlds collided, he unconsciously became a Master of Art Creation. In the void, he reached out and summoned Wood Emperor Daoist Gang Qi, shaping it into a scroll, upon which he recorded the many secrets he had comprehended and created.

Alone, the secrets he created through the collision of the Metal Element's origin and the Nine Cosmos Chaos Stele numbered exactly 3600.

On one page of Fang Yu's scroll, there was merely a simple blade of grass, with only a few strokes depicting its veins—but to a genius devoted to supreme sword cultivation, it was eighteen sword qis fused into one, and the mere existence of this blade of grass could warp space, compress surrounding time and space, placing the enemy at a fatal disadvantage and killing them instantly.

This was the path of fusion between the Metal Element's origin and space revealed by this blade of grass.

This blade of grass was itself a secret art—a Metal-element secret art.

On Fang Yu's scroll, there were already 3600 Metal-element secret arts alone; besides these, there were Earth-element, Water-element, Wood-element, and Fire-element secret arts—altogether, the five-element arts summed to 18,000.

"By creating arts, I have become a Master. Now I can freely create countless secret arts."

Fang Yu continuously sensed the secret arts upon the Nine Cosmos Chaos Stele, and upon his scroll, 18,000 five-element arts formed; within his mind, within his Dantian, spatial laws revealed even greater transformations—spatial laws from this world flowed endlessly into his Dantian, triggering a series of changes, causing his internal Dantian to evolve continuously according to this world's spatial laws, becoming akin to a "world" of a Jiecai, or an immortal "divine realm."

World. Divine realm.

In this world, cultivators begin by cultivating from planetary level to stellar level, then to cosmic level, developing miniature planets within their bodies; by cosmic level, they have already manifested miniature star systems.

These miniature star systems resemble true star systems but differ fundamentally—yet they grant cultivators immense power. When a cosmic-level cultivator advances to Domain Lord, their internal miniature star system is swallowed by a black hole; the colossal black hole collapses into a singularity, marking their entry into Domain Lord rank.

The singularity, though infinitesimally small, is immensely heavy.

As an infinitesimal point formed by the consumption of countless star systems, within it a world gradually gestates—a process spanning from Domain Lord 1st Rank to Domain Lord 9th Rank. When fully gestated, a fundamental transformation occurs: the gestated world becomes a true world, capable of sustaining life and storing items, identical to a real world.

At this point, the cultivator reaches the Jiecai realm.

Naturally, some beings in this universe, like juvenile Golden Horn Beasts, possess internal worlds from birth—but any life or object placed inside is digested. If too much is placed inside and cannot be digested, the "internal world" may even burst. Only as the Golden Horn Beast's internal world grows continuously until Jiecai does it undergo a fundamental change, allowing humans or other objects to be placed inside without being digested.

In other words, the world of a Golden Horn Beast at Jiecai level seems to possess the "Dantian" characteristics of Fang Yu's Eternal Life Method.

Fang Yu's Dantian, once formed, can hold any object without fear of digestion—this is extremely similar to the Jiecai world of this world.

Dantian. World. There seems to be no difference.

When a cultivator reaches the Jiecai realm, they finally make their world an independent one; to advance further and become immortal, they must shatter the constraints of their internal world and fuse it with spatial fragments from the universe, forming a truly stable and powerful space—the Divine Realm.
