Chapter 520: Transcendent Traits

I am Fang Xing, your lord.

Fang Xing hovered in midair, showing no intention to let them rise.

Human nature is inherently selfish, and people fear authority more than they cherish virtue.

At this moment, you must make them witness the absolute gap in power between you and them—then future troubles will be fewer.

We pay homage to our lord.

At this moment, regardless of their inner thoughts, these former tyrants of the planet immediately bowed in sincere submission.

Very well. From now on, as long as you abide by my rules, all will remain unchanged; if you violate them, you will be executed immediately.

Fang Xing pointed to several of the most powerful individuals: "You few have decent cultivation—come inside."

He turned and flew into the planetary fortress.

Oh no!

Li Ying felt his scalp go numb.

From the Xia Dynasty planet line, Fang Xing had chosen only him and Lin Qianzhu.

With all eyes upon them, there was no way to escape!

If I had known this, I should have fought earlier and boarded the Yuanzhong Divine Palace to flee…

He gritted his teeth and followed Lin Qianzhu and dozens of alien elites into the metallic hall within the planetary fortress.

All of you are at least stellar-class cultivators; reaching this level on an ordinary planet means you either possess some insight and talent, or some luck and opportunity…

Fang Xing smiled faintly, and when he mentioned "luck and opportunity," he deliberately glanced at Li Ying—nearly causing Li Ying's heart to stop.

Therefore, I promote you to be my direct subjects and grant each of you a lineage transmission.

Thank you, master!

A rugged man with purple hair immediately knelt down.

Hmm, your name is "Lei Ming," correct? You're the strongest among them, having reached the neutron star level... I'll promote you further and grant you the status of a Class-Citizen of the Star Civilization.

Fang Xing glanced around and chuckled.

Thank you, master.

Lei Ming trembled with excitement—this was citizenship of a peak civilization!

Once enrolled, the channels open—you can now purchase resources and transmissions you once dared not dream of!

It truly opens the path upward to becoming a Fa Master!

Is this "buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold"?

Lin Qianzhu thought silently, glancing again at Li Ying—he felt their master today was unusually erratic.

But then again, the master's temperament has always been like this—sometimes awe-inspiring, making even me feel dread… other times, just… ordinary.

Lin Qianzhu actually found this perfectly normal.

Alright, later, give your contact details to my chief steward, Nangong Xue, then return to your posts.

Fang Xing gave a few more instructions, then waved his hand.

Under Lei Ming's lead, the group of experts flew out of the planetary fortress.

Only then did Li Ying feel as if waking from a dream: I'm unharmed? I'm actually unharmed? Did Fang Xing not detect the Yuanzhong Divine Palace?

Impossible… Inside the Yuanzhong Divine Palace, Xiao Hui also looked baffled: If it were a defective black hole-level artifact, fine—but how could a Fa Master-level cultivator fail to detect the Yuanzhong Divine Palace? This treasure's anti-detection capability isn't that strong… not to mention… I've been covertly assisting.

What? Xiao Hui, I'm not done with you!

Li Ying was furious, his blood boiling.

Having a treasure that constantly plots to kill its master is a nightmare…

…

Alright, since you're all my own people, I'll speak plainly…

After Hei Yuan and Qing Lin had taken their leave, Fang Xing gathered the Blue Star group and said: "I promised you I would make the Blue Star lineage real. From now on, you are officially my subjects, but in truth, you are beings of my inner universe… There's no need to hide this—it's common in this universe. And ten star systems are more than enough to accommodate you…"

After all, the Blue Star Federation had long lost its former glory, reduced to only one planet's population.

Here, the Blue Star lineage will be led by Nangong Xue and Liu Wei—you, Zhang Chu, will assist. Hmm, first, take control of the planetary fortress and construct a habitable planet as the main world—name it Blue Star…

As for the rest of these outsiders, Lei Ming and Lin Qianzhu can be utilized…

…

After handling these myriad affairs, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, preparing to begin cultivation.

To advance in the Fa Master realm, one must primarily comprehend laws, then the Dao.

Daily accumulation of source energy can be fully replaced by absorbing "source fluid."

At this moment, he flipped through various survival transmissions in the Tai Xu Universe, lost in thought:

"These survival techniques are all inferior to those in the Pan Wu Da Dian—it seems my permission level is still too low to access other Eternal-level or Transcendent transmissions…"

"My current combat power places me among the strongest of Fa Master Stage Three—I can barely hold my own against Stage Four. Short-term advancement is unlikely; I should focus on survival."

At all times, preserving one's useful body is paramount. "My survival technique? I've been cultivating it all along—the Tianmu Weide Jinlian Shuangsheng Hu Fa Ben!"

This peculiar technique allows him to maintain instant mental synchronization with his cultivation avatar.

His cultivation avatar is not merely a fragment—it is another "Fang Xing"!

Thus, it is his ultimate backup.

Even if his main body is slain in the primary universe, no karmic or fate technique could trace back to the other great world.

This is even more karmically isolated than hiding within any treasure.

And how is such an astonishing "interdimensional consciousness linkage" possible?

Fang Xing had once been confused, but now, with his higher realm, he had some theories.

"It must be… the inherent nature of the Great Sun Tathagata Spell."

Since the Great Sun Tathagata Spell, having been infused by the attribute panel, evolved into the "Space-Time Imperishable Great Sun King Spell,"

then the Tianmu Weide Jinlian Shuangsheng Hu Fa Ben, which relies on the Great Sun Tathagata Spell, must also possess this trait.

"This also confirms a hypothesis: that many great worlds—such as Qing Yuan Great World, or the Xia Dynasty Universe—still exist within the same higher-dimensional layer!"

"And the 'Space-Time Imperishable Great Sun' transcends this layer, functioning as a de facto 'high-dimensional signal relay station,' enabling real-time connection between my main body and avatar…"

=9+book_bar

"This… is a trait possessed only by Transcendents. Perhaps it can be called 'Transcendence'?"

"I must not reveal this—if even a Level Fifteen Eternal cultivator learned of it, they would covet it, go mad…"

The Eternal-level transmission of the Pan Wu Da Dian contains some ancient Pan Gu Wu speculations on becoming a Transcendent.

According to Pan Gu Wu's speculation, for an Eternal to transcend, the first step is "severing karma," or "reducing to achieve emptiness"—eliminating all one's karmic ties, becoming "nothingness," severed from all connections…

But this is only the first step!

Next, one must perform the "Transcendence"—the "Ultimate Leap!"

In this leap, 99% of Eternals perish instantly, vanishing without a trace, as if forgotten by the world.

Therefore, before the final transcendence, one must cultivate certain "Transcendent Traits"!

But what exactly are Transcendent Traits? Even Pan Gu Wu himself did not know—he sought out Transcendents for answers.

Yet to Fang Xing now, "Transcendence" might be one such Transcendent Trait.

Of course, only "suspected," and merely one among many.

Even so, it is an exceedingly precious thing.

It represents a ticket to Transcendence!

"If even the Great Sun Tathagata Spell, infused by the attribute panel, possesses this, then what exactly is the attribute panel itself?"

Fang Xing felt a chill—he knew his golden hand must be kept absolutely secret.

…

【Ding, welcome to the Starry Trial Ground!】

Fang Xing arrived at a location within the Tai Xu Universe.

He looked up and saw an infinite starry sky beneath a brilliant, heaven-piercing banner—the "Starry List"!

"The Starry List includes only Fa Masters of the Star Civilization and its affiliated civilizations—currently 58, 39 are active!"

"All Fa Masters may challenge each other; the Tai Xu Universe adjudicates rankings. Those who hold a top-1000 position for over ten years receive additional rewards."

"Typically, only Fa Master Stage Three, especially strong ones, can enter and hold a top-1000 spot—interesting…"

Fang Xing smiled and gazed at the top of the Starry List.

"Among the Star Civilization, there are only three Stage Five Fa Masters—absolute giants who have long dominated the top three: 'Disaster Star Lord·Yumiel,' 'Absolute Blade·Chixing,' and 'Ice Emperor·Catherine'…"

He carefully watched the battle videos of these three Stage Five Fa Masters and had to admit—they were far stronger than him.

Even their comprehension of laws was nearly approaching the Dao.

They stood just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Dao Master.

Yet sometimes, that hair's breadth is an infinite chasm.

"Sometimes, for certain interests, they could break through but deliberately conceal it…"

"After all, for peak civilizations, unless in total war, Stage Five Fa Masters are more useful than Dao Masters on localized battlefields—since Fa Masters are immortal, they can wait for the right moment to break through without loss."

Fang Xing watched a battle video.

He entered the battlefield as if truly present, seeing a black-robed man raise his hand and unleash a cosmic storm capable of annihilating entire star systems, obliterating his opponent into nothingness…

"Disaster Star Lord—Yumiel! Renowned for the 'Storm Law,' his combat power is immense, specializing in large-scale destruction; later he delved into the 'Destruction Law' and 'Fire Law'… He is now just a thread away from the 'Disaster Dao.'"

After the video was a brief description.

As for "Absolute Blade·Chixing"? His comprehended Dao remains secret, but it is speculated to relate to destruction and slaughter.

The final Ice Emperor, Catherine, had comprehended a Dao undoubtedly elevated from the Ice Principle, related to the universe's feminine force.

"All of them are strong ones; to hold a place among the top hundred of the Starry List requires a fourth-rank Law Lord."

"But the Source Liquid rewards are also generous; if I wish to exchange for some Eternal Realm legacies, I must push to the front, earn the rewards, and incidentally raise my own permission level..."
