Chapter 522

A few days later.

"Finally over..."

Outside the Star Secret Realm.

Fang Xing flies out of Qingli Palace and relaxes slightly.

'This time, a hundred Dharma Masters entered, and the casualties exceeded 10%... definitely a heavy loss.'

Generally speaking, this kind of task once every hundred years shouldn't have a loss rate exceeding 1%.

Even many times there are Dharma Masters injured, but no one dies.

If the death rate were this high every time, the Dharma Masters of the Starry Sky Civilization would have been wiped out in a few tens of thousands of years, and no foreign Dharma Masters would want to join.

Although, a large part of this was contributed by him.

Moreover, the immortal clone taking away the Star Source Fruit will undoubtedly make the subsequent struggle with the Alien Beast Civilization even more intense.

'Among these fallen Dharma Masters, perhaps a few have life-saving methods and can revive themselves...'

'But most still have to rely on stronger people to revive...'

Thinking of this, Fang Xing is speechless.

In the Taixu Universe, he has already seen the wanted notices for Kui Lan, that man in the black robe, and his own immortal clone.

Among them, the bounty for the immortal clone is the highest; after the clue is confirmed, there is a reward of a full one hundred units of source liquid, and if captured alive or killed, the reward is actually a chance to revive!

It can be said that this is equivalent to a reward of a second life, enough to make many Dharma Master-level powerhouses crazy.

If it weren't for the fact that the immortal clone has no karma with this universe, it might have been betrayed by relatives or disciples immediately!

In the face of sufficient benefits, no one is trustworthy.

'Fortunately, I have never trusted others...'

'Even the immortal clone had a rebirth-like change after becoming an immortal... even those people in the inner universe wouldn't recognize it...'

Fang Xing releases Blood Origin Mountain and flies towards New Blue Star.

'This task is completed, at least there will be a hundred years of peace...'

'Just right, can focus on the cultivation of the Law of Destruction...'

Fang Xing sits on the sofa and casually opens a bottle of fruit wine for himself.

'And Star Source Fruit... even if I ask around, I don't know its use, but it must be very precious... Perhaps I should let the immortal clone look for it in the True Immortal World, maybe similar fruits appear in the illustrated book...'

'After all, that Feather of the Mad Vulture is very similar to the Mad Martial Bird of this world...'

Just then, Fang Xing is thoughtful and trembles all over.

Then, he looks at the attribute panel:

【Gate of All Heavens: 1/100】

"Gate of All Heavens, is it finally about to open?"

A look of joy immediately appears on Fang Xing's face.

Over the years, he has never forgotten to charge the "Gate of All Heavens," never expected it to be dragged until now to see the dawn.

And at this moment, on the attribute panel, the symbol representing the Gate of All Heavens trembles slightly, and inexplicable information emerges in Fang Xing's sea of consciousness.

"After the Dharma Master realm... the volume is large, the 'presence' is too strong, will traversing the Gate of All Heavens bring a great burden?"

"Therefore, can choose true body traversal, or just a wisp of consciousness descending, similar to the mode of descending to the Taixu Universe?"

"If true body traverses, it might take one year, or even ten years to walk 1% of the progress, but consciousness descending is very fast, jumping one progress a day is very possible."

"Besides, since I can now actively charge the 'Gate of All Heavens,' there is also a certain right of choice?"

Fang Xing's eyes light up.

Although this cannot freely choose the world, it also has a certain directionality.

Although, the direction might be relatively vague, and it might not necessarily succeed.

"That is naturally the world that is most helpful to me... hmm, best to be helpful for comprehending the Law of Destruction..."

He immediately concentrates his will and sends the choice into the Gate of All Heavens.

'Consciousness traversal, go to the world that is helpful to me and can comprehend the Law of Destruction...'

On the attribute panel, the symbol representing the Gate of All Heavens trembles slightly, and seems to have no change at all.

The next day.

Fang Xing sees the progress of the Gate of All Heavens reach "2/100" and cannot help but show a smile: "One hundred cosmic days and it opens... just right, hurry back to New Blue Star, and then start closed-door cultivation..."

One hundred days later.

New Blue Star.

"I am going into closed-door cultivation, no need to pay attention to anyone who comes during this time..."

Fang Xing calls Gu Yun and gives the order.

A wisp of consciousness traverses, his true body actually retains most of his combat power, not worried about anything at all.

Moreover, now that the mandatory task is over, there is at least a hundred years of free time.

"Yes..."

Gu Yun knows that the closed-door cultivation of such cosmic powerhouses often takes decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands or ten thousand years... doesn't feel strange at all.

Just as she walks out of the palace and starts to give orders one by one, she feels a bit unreal: "Slightly closed-door cultivation, it might be thousands or ten thousand years... such a long life, and what about me?"

Even she has to admit that her own aptitude is average.

Of course, now following Fang Xing, even if the other party casually leaks a little resource from his fingers, it is not a problem to help her cultivate to the Star Master realm.

In the Creator Universe, that is the realm above the 8th-realm Martial Saint!

Moreover, the lifespan of the Star Master realm is comparable to ordinary planets and stars... it is not difficult to live for hundreds of millions of years.

Alas... but the lifespan of the Dharma Master realm is infinite!

Compared to the infinitely long lifespan, a mere billion-year life might be just a snap of the fingers.

This kind of desolation makes Gu Yun feel a bit sad. But suddenly, she laughs dumbly: "Didn't expect that one day, I would become so sentimental... ten billion years, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

In the secret room.

Fang Xing doesn't care about the inner thoughts of a little girl.

Well, although Gu Yun is also an old girl of over a hundred, in his eyes, she is just a little girl.

At this moment, his thoughts are set, and a wisp of consciousness enters the Gate of All Heavens: "Start..."

Rumble!

In an instant, the Gate of All Heavens opens with a bang.

Fang Xing sees the space origin again, and this time, the immortal clone with perfected Space Law has more insights.

"Space origin?"

"No... seems higher?"

Reading the original text!

"I seem to see more great worlds... but, even with perfected Space Law, I can't touch them... must use 'transcendence' to observe a little?"

At this moment, Fang Xing truly confirms.

Whether it is the Great Xia Universe or the Qingyuan Great World... they are actually all in one "river."

It's just that they have no boundary at all, even Dharma Masters and Dao Lords... might not be able to cross.

Even Eternal-level existences are fish in the river, occasionally jumping out of the water, taking a light glance, but never being able to get ashore, let alone see the full picture of the whole river!

But Fang Xing is different!

After condensing the "transcendence" characteristic, with the help of the Gate of All Heavens, he can overlook the river.

Even... just a light glance.

'After getting ashore, I wonder what the scenery is like?'

A thought arises in Fang Xing's consciousness.

Then, his vision falls quickly, entering a layer of river water.

In the river water are vast worlds, each no less inferior to the Great Xia Universe or the Qingyuan Great World.

And he rushes towards a corner.

Rumble!

Fang Xing's eyes go dark!

"Line up, prepare to awaken 'Heart Phase'!"

A voice suddenly sounds.

Fang Xing hears a strange language, but can fully understand the meaning.

In his mind, a weak memory emerges.

Heart Beast, Green Forest City... Driving, Soldier Level, King Level...

He raises his hand and finds it is the palm of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, the clothes he is wearing are quite luxurious, as if woven from some kind of silk, touching the skin cool and comfortable, very comfortable.

'Reincarnation, awakening the mystery of the womb... or possession?'

'Forget it, it's all the same...'

Fang Xing looks up and finds himself in a magnificent and vast building.

Stone pillars stand around, carved with various strange beast patterns, the high dome is decorated with colored glass, letting the sunlight fall, showing colorful and gorgeous patterns on the ground.

Just seeing this building, the instinctual memory of the body emerges.

'This is... the "Heart Sanctuary" of Green Forest City. This body is also called "Fang Xing," the direct descendant of a squire's small family outside Green Forest City, currently undergoing "Heart Phase" awakening...'

'The so-called "Heart Phase" is the extraordinary path of this world. They believe that infinite power is hidden in the human heart... It can be summoned, manifested outside, transformed into a physical entity, and become a "Life-Bound Beast" প্রাণী...'

'After possessing a Life-Bound Beast, one becomes a true "Driver," can subdue other wild "Heart Beasts," and embark on the extraordinary path...'

Just as Fang Xing is thinking, a voice sounds in front: "Kong Lingci, Heart Phase... Wooden Comb."

Fang Xing looks over and sees a girl wearing simple clothes, currently standing in a hexagram array full of expectation.

And the person speaking is an old man wearing a black priest's robe.

He holds a bronze canon in his hand, his voice solemn.

Accompanied by streams of light, on the little girl's body, an aura like clouds and mist emerges, turning into an ordinary wooden comb, a few teeth of which seem to be missing.

'The elder of the Heart Sanctuary - Dugu Fang! What he holds is the "Heart Phase Holy Canon," said to record all Heart Phases that have appeared in the world...'

At this time, Dugu Fang continues: "Heart Phase Wooden Comb, Rotten Wood quality, next..."

Hearing this, Kong Lingci's eyes turn red, and she cries directly.

Fang Xing watches coldly, watching a little fat boy go up, walking into the hexagram array with trepidation.

"Feng Sanjiao, Heart Phase 'Mountain Pig', Black Iron quality, next..."

He sees a mountain pig cub phantom emerge from the little fat boy's body, gradually condensing, and letting out a roar.

And beside him, a pair of chubby parents who are clearly the little fat boy's parents actually have a trace of joy on their faces.

"Zhao Qianduo Heart Phase Peach Wood, Rotten Wood quality..."

"Chen Haohao, Heart Phase Broken Bowl, Rotten Wood quality..."

Several following ones are all Rotten Wood quality, making Fang Xing understand that Black Iron quality seems to be quite good.

"Next one, Fang Xing!"

Not long after, when a little girl cries and comes down, Fang Xing hears his name.
