Chapter 440: Pangu Wu

"Guessed right, unfortunately, there's no reward!"

Fang Xing pressed down with another palm, striking the pitch-black imperial armor squarely.

Although the previous punch had severely wounded the man in black armor, it hadn't killed him completely.

While Fang Xing sighed in his heart at the worthiness of the imperial armor, he didn't hesitate to follow up with another palm.

Boom!

The terrifying penetrating force landed on the man in black armor. Although the imperial armor remained unscathed, the person inside exploded in an instant, turning into a mass of minced meat.

"Thirty-two Pangu Tokens, a fat haul... Win one more round, and I'll almost have enough for an imperial weapon."

Fang Xing was somewhat excited, and at the same time, somewhat expectant.

Imperial weapon!

Don't look at it as if it's going to be worthless in the Pangu Secret Realm.

Placed in the outside world, it's a good thing that would make Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Yaos risk their lives!

He was already at the strength of a Nascent Soul Overlord, comparable to a first-tier Heavenly Yao great power, and ordinary imperial weapons could no longer satisfy his needs.

But if he held an imperial weapon, even a third-tier or even fourth-tier Heavenly Yao great power, he would have the confidence to fight!

"Seventh Floor!"

Fang Xing's vision blurred, and he arrived at a grand hall.

This hall was towering and vast... everywhere was a uniform sky-blue, the periphery was filled with chaotic airflow, and there was an even more terrifying sense of pressure.

An old man with white hair and beard, and pitch-black scales on his face, emerged.

"Nascent Soul Overlord? No... at least a peak Heavenly Yao."

Fang Xing was somewhat dumbfounded: "Is the guardian of the seventh floor actually this powerful? The Dou Tian Hall has a dark curtain!"

"Ahem..."

The old man with black scales twitched his face: "... This old man is not the guardian of the Dou Tian Hall, but the guardian of the Pangu Secret Realm. You can call me 'Wu Lao'!"

"In that case..."

Fang Xing looked around: "Is this the most core area of the Pangu Secret Realm?"

"Not bad. Being able to temper a body comparable to a Heavenly Yao at the Nascent Soul realm, you have already passed the Ancient God Hall trial and been teleported here."

The old man with black scales smiled.

"Then what about my Pangu Tokens?"

Fang Xing thought about other aspects: "Are they all voided? If I had passed the seventh floor, I would have almost been able to exchange for an imperial weapon..."

"Hehe... If you want to go back, this old man can naturally satisfy your wish."

Wu Lao's expression was somewhat playful.

"Then forget it..."

Fang Xing's expression turned solemn, and he gave a respectful bow: "Brother Heilong... greets Wu Lao!"

"Hmm, your talent... especially your physique, is very much in line with my master's requirements, and you have already reached the threshold to become a named disciple."

Wu Lao smiled.

"May I ask the name of that great existence?" Fang Xing asked.

"My master is an eternal existence..." Wu Lao said: "His realm is already difficult for you to understand now. You only need to remember one point... My master, with his own physique, forcibly made infinite worlds and endless universes acknowledge his Dao, and then cut the Dao to see me, self-opening the 'Pan Wu Great Dao'... A sentence he often said was, 'Why should I comprehend the Dao, instead of making the Dao acknowledge me?'"

"With physique... making the Dao acknowledge... even in the heavens and myriad worlds, self-opening a Dao?"

Fang Xing suddenly realized, no wonder the Pangu Secret Realm favored those body-refining cultivators.

Because his master was a body-refining cultivator.

"Chaos realm, requires fully comprehending a Great Dao... Could it be that the Eternal realm is to independently create a Great Dao?"

A look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Not bad, how can an external Great Dao compare to one's own Great Dao? If not so, one cannot be eternal..."

Wu Lao's expression was quite emotional: "If one cannot be eternal, how can one transcend?"

"Alright..."

His expression became somewhat lonely: "Are you willing to take my master—'Pangu Wu' as your teacher?"

"I don't know what kind of responsibility I need to bear if I take that existence as my teacher?"

Fang Xing deliberated and asked.

He was no longer in the state he was in Great Xia. Once he made an oath like a Great Dao causality, it still had a certain binding force.

After all, these oaths act directly on the true spirit!

"Heh... Do you know what I saw when I saw you? It's like summer insects cannot talk about ice... My master is infinitely great and possesses infinite power... What can he not do if he wants to do something? Do you still need to bear any responsibility as his disciple?"

Wu Lao sneered: "Even this Pangu Secret Realm is just a small game my master set up on a whim... You little guys who have gained benefits, if you say you have to bear any responsibility, it is to cultivate hard... If one day, you can break through to the Eternal realm, or even transcend... my master will be incomparably happy."

'Listening to Wu Lao say this... That 'Pangu Wu', is he still alive?' 'Also... Heavenly Yaos have no lifespan limit, let alone Demon Emperors... Higher Eternal realms, naturally, will not fall... Eternal, eternal, what is eternal? At least it must exist eternally... Otherwise, what is called eternal, isn't it a joke?'

Fang Xing's heart moved, and he was also somewhat vigilant: "Since that is the case, I am willing to take him as my teacher."

"Hmm."

Wu Lao nodded: "After my master achieved eternity, he has been traveling outside the Profound Origin Great World... Taking a disciple is not worth him casting his gaze. You just need to bow to his portrait to complete the named disciple etiquette."

With a wave of his hand, an ancient Dao stele suddenly appeared in the ancient hall!

This Dao stele was not time-space, nor was it Qiankun, slaughter...

But a brand new Great Dao that made Fang Xing tremble all over just by looking at it—Pan Wu Great Dao!

On the stone stele, there was only one figure.

His spine supported the sky, and he himself seemed to be the best interpretation of the Pan Wu Great Dao!

It even made Fang Xing vaguely see the possibility of his own martial way forward.

Only the face was blurry.

He barely collected his mind and gave a bow.

"Hmm, master did not object, it seems he has acknowledged your status as a named disciple."

Wu Lao smiled: "Master has a total of thirteen named disciples, and ten have fallen to this day, counting you, there are still three... But I will not tell you their identities."

Fang Xing rolled his eyes. This guardian seemed to have quite a bit of bad taste.

"And as master's disciple, you can choose three items you want from these options."

Wu Lao waved his hand, and light screens appeared, each with a mysterious item.

There were nine light screens in total. Fang Xing looked at the first light screen and saw a strange chaotic-colored ancient scroll. When his gaze touched it, relevant information automatically appeared in his mind:

{'Pan Wu Great Canon': Contains the cultivation method of the Pan Wu Great Dao, as well as thirty-six external arts, seven thousand six hundred and ninety-two minor arts... Note, learning this secret canon can only reach the 'Chaos realm' and may be affected by the strong martial will within, making it difficult to cut the Dao... }

"Only up to the Chaos realm? Why do I feel that Teacher Pangu Wu put his own learning here, hoping that students will achieve the Chaos realm with the 'Pan Wu Great Dao', and then cut off this Great Dao to achieve eternity?"

Fang Xing guessed Pangu Wu's plan at once. This was almost an open conspiracy.

If a disciple cuts out the 'Pan Wu Great Dao', it must be because they found its weaknesses and flaws... For Pangu Wu, it is a resource of peerless genius level, which can make up for the deficiencies of his own Great Dao.

He nodded and looked at the second light screen, finding it to be a strange liquid, constantly changing into various shapes of weapons and armor.

{According to requirements, customize an imperial weapon! }

He nodded and looked at the third light screen, finding it to be a strange pill, inside which seemed to be an old man with a white beard, sitting cross-legged, explaining the Dao principles.

{Enlightenment Pill: Can assist cultivators at the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer who have reached the final step of Dao principle comprehension to undergo one enlightenment, with a 50% chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm! }

"This... If those Nascent Soul Overlords knew, they would probably get it at all costs, right?"

Fang Xing thought of that Shi Guang, who was just a tiny bit away from fully comprehending the time Dao principle.

If he obtained an 'Enlightenment Pill', with his talent, there was a 99% chance of breaking through and becoming a powerful time Heavenly Immortal!

Alas... in the end, there was no such opportunity, and it turned into ashes with regret.

{Strange Treasure 'Years Mirror'... contains time Dao principles, can assist in comprehension, and has miraculous effects when performing time-type secret arts and supernatural powers... }

{Strange Treasure 'Yu Yuan Tripod'... contains void Dao principles, can assist in comprehension, and can also be used for fighting... }

{'Source Blood' one drop: Can transform Yao race bloodline, turn into 'Imperial Blood', or comprehend the special aspects within, can obtain a chance... }

{'World Token'... }

{'Causality Card': A Demon Emperor of the 'Qingdi Palace' once owed a favor, promising to do one thing or make a full-strength move... Cut off the causality and refine it into this card, holding this card can undertake this segment of causality... }

{'True Spirit Talisman': Refine this talisman, once you fall, you can reincarnate, maintain a trace of true spirit, even the Chaos realm, it is difficult to stop... }

Fang Xing's gaze moved downward, seeing nine options, all of which were quite good.

Among them, the 'World Token' was the most special, with no introduction.

And regardless of imperial weapons, secret treasures, life-saving items, or breakthrough pills... they were all good things that Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Yaos in the outside world could not imagine.

"How is it? Which three items do you fancy?"

Wu Lao asked with a smile.

These nine options were clearly tailored for Fang Xing.

He liked to see these juniors with red eyes, but helpless, and finally making trade-offs.

Fang Xing fell into deep thought:

'My Brother Heilong body walks the time-space Great Dao, the Pan Wu Great Dao is of no use... But Pangu Wu clearly walks the body-refining path similar to martial arts, which may be very useful for my main body in the main universe, at least it can be referenced...'

'As for imperial weapons, I can't take them away at all... The Enlightenment Pill is even more so. I have an attribute panel. As long as the proficiency is reached, I can break through naturally. Otherwise, I wouldn't choose top-level Dao principles to comprehend... This pill may be something many Nascent Souls would risk their lives to get, but for me, it's chicken ribs...'

'The two treasures for assisting enlightenment can be considered. The World Token is too mysterious, obviously gambling on opportunities... I am not a gambler. As long as I don't gamble, I will never lose.'

'Although Source Blood is good, it's the same reason. I can't take it away, and I won't gamble on the opportunities within...'

'The Causality Card is equivalent to a full-strength move by a Chaos realm great power, which is very useful in the Profound Origin Great World... As for the True Spirit Talisman...'
