Chapter 316: Gray-Clothed Marquis (Seeking monthly votes)

'Transcendent? Why do I feel like I am one?'

'No, it's my golden finger that is one...'

Fang Xing listened with bright eyes: "Then what realm is your cultivation at, senior?"

"My realm?"

The gray-robed man laughed: "You probably can't understand it now. You just need to know that the former me, even if I went to a high-level cosmic civilization, would be treated as a distinguished guest... as for primary and intermediate civilizations, I could sweep them away."

"That is truly powerful..." Fang Xing showed a look of yearning.

"Then... are you willing to accept the test and try to become my disciple?"

The gray-robed man's voice carried a hint of anticipation.

Fang Xing began to ponder.

According to common sense, he should of course agree.

But who knows what means such a strong person might have? What if he had to sign some contract, oath... even binding not just Li Ying, but his own will, that would be a big joke.

In this world, he didn't even know if he could come back in the future!

If he were judged to have breached the contract directly and paid a heavy price, it would be too much of a loss.

"Why? You are not willing?"

The gray-robed man spoke again.

'This will... is anxious.' Fang Xing nodded inwardly: 'Sure enough... joy and anger are visible, not a true strong person. He should indeed just be a projection, or even worse, just an AI program... there are many rules that cannot be violated.'

For example, he could only choose human geniuses who met the standard judgment.

And the scope was limited to this planet of Great Xia!

'Even, if they don't meet the standard, he can't 'pull people' at will... otherwise, if it were me, I would definitely try many times, casting a wide net to catch fish...'

He had already thought it through and said: "Senior, I have a question in my heart... is the 'Boundary Land' disaster faced by Great Xia caused by you to select a successor?"

For such a great power, judging the other party's temperament, likes and dislikes, and style of conduct is also very important.

Although Fang Xing didn't consider himself a good person, he still hoped that there would be more good people among the people he interacted with.

Interacting with the righteous path is always slightly more reassuring than interacting with the demonic path.

"Of course not... the appearance of the Boundary Land belongs to the overlap of space, which can be considered a cosmic wonder and natural change."

The gray-robed man shook his head: "I cannot interfere with the natural evolution on the planet, I can only wait silently for the appearance of a suitable person... so, are you willing to accept the trial?"

"If I agree to become a student of senior, do I need to sign any oath?"

Fang Xing still avoided the question.

"Need to swear to this 'Yuan Zhong Divine Hall', within ten thousand eras, must kill the 'Blood Origin Mountain Master' for me, and then, when you are capable, you must resurrect me." The gray-robed man said.

"Yuan Zhong Divine Hall?"

Fang Xing looked at the gray-white stone hall around him.

"This heavy treasure, even in the peak cosmic civilization, is an extremely rare and precious object... as long as you pass the trial and swear, I will give it to you." The gray-robed man said.

'Clearly... the binding force of this treasure is extremely high!'

Fang Xing really didn't dare to gamble.

However, at this time, he said so much, just to delay time.

Moreover, even if he got the 'Yuan Zhong Divine Hall', he, who was just a will traveling through the Gate of Heavens, couldn't bring it back at all...

"I don't know what the test is?"

Fang Xing asked.

"You have already watched the 'Essays on Blazing Fire' and comprehended a part of the profound meaning of fire... but that is only an insignificant part of the profound meaning of fire, not enough to prove your comprehension and talent... although I have prepared resources for my future apprentice, the more top-level the strong person, the more top-level resources are needed, and the fault tolerance rate is very low, therefore, you must continue to prove yourself."

The gray-robed man waved his hand and brought Fang Xing to another hall.

Within the void, there were dozens of 'fire clusters'!

In the fireballs, there were various inheritances.

Fang Xing saw several metal books he had seen before, and besides that, there were even stranger carriers, such as fire jade, feathers, scales...

"The vastness of the universe is endless... the path of the strong is the same."

At this time, the gray-robed man's voice came slowly: "From profound meaning to laws, from laws to the Great Dao... there are thirty-six volumes of fire-system profound meaning books here. If you can comprehend them and truly enter the 'Law of Fire', then I will accept you as a disciple and bestow upon you enough resources for a breakthrough... by the way, you must do this within ten years."

'So it's this test...'

Fang Xing understood.

The other party is worthy of being a projection of a strong person; it is impossible to go all-in just because he sees a genius.

Step-by-step testing and giving guidance and breakthrough resources is the normal plan.

Even if he fails at the beginning, he only loses a little early-stage resources, and the later top-level resources can be preserved.

"If I had known it was this test, I would have agreed immediately."

Fang Xing immediately took out a metal book and flipped through it rapidly.

At the same time, a thought emerged in his heart:

"Profound meaning, laws, Great Dao?"

"I wonder which level the conceptual ability of the evil deity's authority belongs to?"

……

Time flies.

This day.

Fang Xing's eyes flashed with essence, and his figure seemed to turn into a ball of flame in an instant.

Even at the peak of the Martial Way Golden Core, building seventy-two evil acupoints and twelve gang meridians, it is only transforming into a semi-energy life.

But at that moment, he seemed to have become a complete energy life.

What is even more astonishing is that he changed back!

"Fire profound meaning—Fire God Body! Entered."

A hint of joy appeared on Fang Xing's face. The increase brought by turning into flames in a short time is very terrifying.

This can not only be used for fighting but also as daily cultivation.

Not to mention anything else, if this kind of profound meaning could be displayed in the cultivation world, it would almost be equivalent to awakening a fire-system Dao body!

'The power of rules is everywhere... as long as order exists, there are rules, or rather, disorder is also a kind of law...'

'In the cultivation world, there should also be rules... then the strong of this universe can manipulate the laws of heaven and earth when they go over... what does this realm count as? At least the level of a Transformation God Venerable?'

Transformation God Venerable can already manipulate the spiritual power of heaven and earth in a certain area!

In the cultivation world, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is the greatest transcendent rule!

The more Fang Xing thought about it, the more he felt that his Gate of Heavens was truly a supreme opportunity.

Gathering the essence of many big worlds, he might not be able to truly transcend in the future!

"Actually comprehended the 'Fire God Body'?"

A gray light flashed, and the gray-robed man appeared beside Fang Xing, praising without concealment: "Your talent is simply unreasonable... I have been observing this planet for more than thirty thousand years, and I have never seen a genius with your comprehension."

According to the other party's revelation, this gray-robed man can only observe everything on the Great Xia planet.

And, he has to rely on the 'Yuan Zhong Divine Hall' to do it.

Even the previous space-grabbing and void-shifting were all the power of the Yuan Zhong Divine Hall.

After all, the gray-robed man is already dead, and at this time, he is almost like an AI program.

'Wait... I am about to leave soon. After I leave, Li Ying's comprehension will definitely not be as good as mine. Does it count as a bug? Can this identity of a quasi-successor still be recognized?'

'I don't know if this gray-robed man will crash directly, or kill Li Ying?'

A thought suddenly emerged in Fang Xing's heart.

Following that, feeling the 'pulling force' that was approaching its limit, he looked at the gray-robed man: "I haven't asked for your name yet, senior?"

He didn't ask at the beginning because names carry power.

In Fang Xing's view, the strength of this gray-robed man before his death could at least compare to an extraterrestrial evil deity.

However, it seems that the enemy he provoked is also very powerful, being killed to the point where he couldn't even resurrect, and could only ask a stronger person to fish him out of the river of time.

But Fang Xing felt a bit embarrassed after reading so many inheritances from others.

Besides, he was already prepared to pat his butt and leave, so he didn't care about these.

"My name is 'Gray-Clothed Marquis'!"

Gray-Clothed Marquis's tone fluctuated slightly, and he wanted to say some of his past events.

But he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Opposite, although that Li Ying was still the previous Li Ying, and even his True Strength cultivation was still there.

But his eyes had clearly changed, and he even carried a bit of timidity.

"What's wrong with you? Did you make a mistake when comprehending the Fire profound meaning? Impossible..."

Gray-Clothed Marquis was a bit suspicious, and even checked Li Ying's soul fluctuations, finding everything normal.

"I... I..."

Li Ying's voice carried a hint of trembling.

He was just a punching bag who had been bullied to death by his uncle and aunt!

What kind of comprehension, talent...

Does such a thing really exist?

……

Main universe.

Star Sea Company, in the sleeping pod.

The pod door opened, and countless white gas overflowed.

Fang Xing walked out of the sleeping pod, feeling refreshed, glowing like he had done a full-body spa.

"Xiao Lan, how long did I sleep?"

He asked.

"Master, you slept for one month and three days, plus seven hours and sixteen minutes."

Xiao Lan's projection appeared, answering sweetly: "During this period, your secretary looked for you six times, Nangong Xue looked for you twenty-seven times... all were blocked by Xiao Lan."

"Well done!"

Fang Xing nodded, but his heart began to compare: "The time flow comparison between the two sides... almost identical!"

"Besides that..."

He glanced at the attribute panel and immediately found brand-new information:

……

【Law of Fire: 77/100 (Entry)】

【Gate of Heavens: 1/100】

……

"Sure enough, even if the Law of Fire is difficult, I have an attribute panel. As long as I can enter, light up the blood bar of proficiency, I can liver it to explosion!"

"And the Gate of Heavens? Could it be... I still have a chance to go back?"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up.

Although the Great Xia planet's martial power is average, that universe is clearly a treasure!

Even if he only obtained a little bit of the fur of the Law of Fire, it would be enough to make his own Martial Saint strength go further!

It's just that he doesn't know if he can continue to 'liver' out the profound meanings he hasn't comprehended yet in the main universe without the original secret manual?

Update will be late.
