Chapter 463: Starry Sky Calendar Year 815

Starry Sky Calendar Year 815.

According to the "Doomsday Hourglass" issued by the Federation's Supreme Academy of Sciences, there is less than a year left until the "Creator" awakens.

Combined with scientific predictions, big data models, and even the margin of error inherent in occult rituals, it can be said that the "Creator" is in a state where awakening could happen at any moment.

This matter hangs like a dark cloud over the hearts of every high-ranking Federation official.

Of course, for those martial arts practitioners in the Federation, this year holds other significance.

For instance... Federation Fang Yuanlao and President of Blue Star University—Fang Xing is preparing to challenge the Tenth Martial Realm!

Although the previous president, Ye Liuyun, failed in his challenge to the Tenth Realm and died in a very distinctive manner, leaving behind a warning not to attempt it.

But this one is not someone Ye Liuyun can compare to!

A Federation Fang Yuanlao represents the Federation's supreme combat power!

Once he makes a move, he must have absolute confidence.

Therefore, more and more martial artists are gathering on Blue Star, everything reminiscent of the grand spectacle when Ye Liuyun made his challenge years ago.

"There really are a lot of people..."

Gu Jiantong walked off the spaceship, supported by his grandson and granddaughter, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved as he looked at this scene.

Thinking of that person again, his emotions were even more inexplicable.

Back in the day, he was a genius of equal fame to that person, only to suffer heavy injuries during the Moon God incident.

Although he luckily managed to save his life, he was left half-crippled, forced to return to inherit the family business and have children.

Fortunately, Gu Jiantong was strong-willed his whole life; even though he lost to that person on the path of transcendence, he racked his brains to develop his family company into one of the Federation's major groups, and even fathered hundreds of children, with his grandchildren now numbering over a thousand...

"Grandfather... I heard you were classmates with that Federation Fang Yuanlao?"

Supporting Gu Jiantong was his favorite grandson. Both grandfather and grandson had undergone genetic surgery, so living for several hundred years was no problem at all. At this moment, they both looked relatively young, more like father and son.

"Yes... back then..."

Gu Jiantong's eyes were misty as he recalled the glorious past.

Just then, a rough voice came from the side: "Gu Jiantong, besides relying on cheating to get ahead of Brother Xing in the Hundred Star Entrance Exam back then, you've been chasing Brother Xing's shadow ever since... and you have the nerve to talk about this?"

"Who are you?"

Gu Jiantong's grandson glared over, then wilted slightly.

The person who appeared was wearing the uniform of the Public Security Bureau, and one could tell from the insignia that his status was very high; he might very well be the Chief of the General Public Security Bureau.

"Song Jingang... Hmph, I disdain to speak with you."

Gu Jiantong stubbornly held his head high, walked into the gate of Blue Star University, and then stopped at the edge.

Nowadays, inside Blue Star University, while it's not quite that Martial Saints are as common as dogs and Martial Gods walk everywhere, it's not far off; there was no place for him.

Although Song Jingang was diligent, he had only been promoted in recent years by relying on Fang Xing's prestige; he also couldn't enter the core and could only act as a gatekeeper while bickering with Gu Jiantong.

He scanned the area and saw a few familiar figures; Gu Yun was surprisingly among them.

It was just that Gu Yun's expression was cold, and suddenly her eyes turned, seeing a figure: "You are... Liu Wei! You actually... broke through to the Eighth Realm?"

Liu Wei strode over: "I remember you, the young lady who hired me and A-Xing back then..."

He practiced magnetic field martial arts; once he broke through to Wu Sheng, he was a powerful Wu Sheng, and his combat power was not to be underestimated.

But within the Federation's Supreme Academy of Sciences, he still held the status of a lab rat being studied.

Thanks to a few words from Fang Xing back then, he made up his mind to leave the Academy of Sciences, which could be considered letting himself go and reconciling with himself.

After all, as a cyborg, being able to reach this step had already surpassed who knows how many of his kind.

"You came too."

Gu Yun said.

"A-Xing is ascending to the Tenth Martial Realm today, of course I would come."

Liu Wei nodded and walked toward the center of Blue Star University, in the direction of the main library.

Fang Xing also chose the location for his breakthrough in the secret realm above the main library.

Inside the secret realm.

He was wearing a clean white training suit, with a black ribbon tied around his waist, sitting cross-legged.

Opposite him were only two people: Vice President Teacher Nie Ying and Nangong Xue.

"A-Xing... your challenge to the Tenth Martial Realm might encounter great terror... have you really thought it through?"

Teacher Nie Ying looked at his most outstanding student, somewhat hesitant to speak.

He had taken Ye Liuyun's encounter and warning completely to heart.

"To seek the Martial Way, I have no regrets even if I die a hundred times."

Fang Xing smiled and shook his head: "Also... for this breakthrough, I allow them to sense the aura from the outside, but no live streaming..."

Ye Liuyun was open and aboveboard, but he was not.

The immortal cultivation clone alone was a secret that could not be exposed.

"Hmm, I understand."

Teacher Nie Ying stood up and left, and there was even a faint sense of a turtle's back about him.

Next, Fang Xing looked at Nangong Xue again: "If I have an accident, the will has already been given to you..."

Nangong Xue rolled her eyes: "I always feel like you're teasing me... You have a hundred percent certainty for this breakthrough."

"Certainty naturally exists; the will is just a procedure."

Fang Xing smiled and watched this woman leave the secret realm.

In the end, only he was left in the secret realm.

Rumble!

Martial will soared into the sky. With his keen sense of space, Fang Xing scanned every part of the secret realm, confirming there were no hidden means or surveillance.

"Let's begin."

After considering all preparations, all possibilities, and all developments, Fang Xing finally made up his mind.

Swish!

A silver-white radiance flashed, and the immortal cultivation clone emerged. Even though the immortal cultivation clone was in the Spirit World, due to the power of the "Gate of Heavens," it was still pulled back.

The immortal cultivation clone said nothing and sat cross-legged directly.

Fang Xing's true self scanned the attribute panel:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 114】

【Profession: Immortal Martial Artist】

【Ninth Realm: Wu Shen】

【Pan Wu Grand Ceremony: 5699/10000 (Entry)】

【Star Lord Realm: Star Level】

【Star Palace Scroll: 1/200 (Proficient)】

【Nine Sources Star Body Tempering Secret Art: 199/200 (Proficient)】

【Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】

【Heavenly Mother Virtue Jin Lian Twin Guardian Book: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】

【Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm: 800/800 (Grandmaster)】

【Law Comprehension: Time (Master), Space (Master), Fire (Proficient), Destiny (Entry)】

【Gate of Heavens (Charging)】

"Hmm... Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm, finally reached Grandmaster perfection."

Fang Xing let out a long breath, and a Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body emerged behind him.

It had many perfect features, its face was Fang Xing's own, its entire body was red gold, and it had a circle of Great Sun flames around its body, forming the "Dharma Realm Meditation Seal."

Beneath the Great Sun Dharma Realm, there is only the True Buddha Tathagata!

"Wu Sheng is cultivating the Dharma Image... Wu Shen is the Dharma Image ascending to the Dharma Body!"

"Now that the 'Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm' is perfect, my Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body is also perfect, which can be considered reaching the peak of Wu Shen!"

Fang Xing sat cross-legged silently, and above the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body, the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.

A Great Sun Godhead was slowly rotating at the position of the Upper Dantian.

At the position of the Middle Dantian was a Great Sun Star Palace, inside which was a star, surrounded by countless stars.

The Lower Dantian was Fang Xing's "Nine Sources Star Body Tempering Secret Art," also at the Tenth Realm!

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit... all at the Tenth Realm or above!"

Fang Xing silently circulated his Qi and blood, only to feel the three major Dantians of Upper, Middle, and Lower resonating, carrying an indescribable frequency.

This frequency even transmitted outward, inducing resonance with heaven and earth!

The three talents of man—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—are the Small Three Harmonies!

Heaven, Earth, and Man are the Great Three Harmonies!

The Great Three Harmonies plus the Small Three Harmonies are the Eight Wildernesses of Heaven and Earth, the Six Harmonies are infinite, all contained within!

At this moment, Fang Xing seemed to see the entire universe, and even felt a certain indescribable existence at the center of the universe!

"Time to break through!"

Fang Xing stood up at some point, one finger pointing to the sky, one finger pointing to the earth: "In the Six Harmonies and Eight Wildernesses, I alone am honored!"

Rumble!

The Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body roared.

The immortal cultivation clone smiled slightly, turned into a stream of light, and merged into the true self's body.

After the Heavenly Mother Virtue Jin Lian Twin Guardian Book was livered to Grandmaster perfection, Fang Xing could recall the immortal cultivation clone with a single thought; the two had the same source of magic power and Qi and blood, running in parallel without conflict.

And at this moment, the retrieval of the Void Refining stage immortal cultivation clone was undoubtedly the "Great Medicine" for the true self to break through to the Tenth Martial Realm!

Buzz buzz!

On the attribute panel, the 【Immortal Martial Artist】 trait flashed.

The immortal cultivation clone's vast Void Refining magic power transformed into streams of majestic Qi and blood, falling onto the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body.

Influenced by this, the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Body became perfect, adding a touch of immortal charm!

"It has begun."

Outside the secret realm, although many Martial Saints and Martial Gods could not observe through the live stream, they could feel Fang Xing's martial will, as well as his incomparably tyrannical spirit!

"Fang Yuanlao Fang's spirit... is it not more than a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than when Ye Liuyun broke through last time?"

Jian Qiu and Duan Hai were forced back several thousand meters, looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

If Martial Gods were like this, Martial Saints were naturally even more unbearable.

Teacher Nie Ying and Xu Sanyang were pale; when that spirit soared into the sky just now, they even had an urge to kneel down.

"So strong..."

Teacher Nie Ying was full of disbelief: "A-Xing's physique, I'm afraid it's already at the Tenth Realm, or even the Eleventh Realm..."

"Fang Yuanlao Fang will definitely succeed in breaking through, but what really needs attention is what happens afterward..."

Xu Sanyang murmured, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

Just then, everyone heard Fang Xing's declaration in their ears.

In a trance, they saw a Great Sun rising from the secret realm.

"In the Six Harmonies and Eight Wildernesses, I alone am honored!"

"The most important thing is actually the two words 'I alone'!"

The path of martial arts is originally about emotion and self; even for the "Pan Wu Grand Ceremony," the entry point is the True Self Law!

Fang Xing's will was vast and mighty, sensing himself.

At this moment, a surprising scene occurred!

His physique and body, which were comparable to the Tenth Realm, were actually... becoming illusory?

As if his flesh, blood, and bones were all just a delusion!

"Sure enough... this universe is all transformed from a dream of the Creator... we are all nothingness."

Fang Xing murmured, but within this illusion, he grasped a bit of "True Self"!

Even if the body is fake, his true spirit, his experiences, and his emotions are real!

The essence of immortal cultivation lies in borrowing the fake to cultivate the real!

On the attribute panel, a brand-new mark emerged.

True Self Law, already at Entry level!
