Chapter 717

Qingyuan Great Realm.

In the Lingbao Palace.

Inside the Black Dragon Emperor’s cultivation chamber.

A flash of light—the Gate of All Realms opened, and Fang Xing’s figure appeared silently.

“Finally broken through… the Fifteenth Realm of Eternity!”

Fang Xing sat cross-legged; an eternal mark emerged from within him, forming a clone.

Back then, to break through the Fifteenth Realm of Eternity, he had recalled all his clones and thoughts.

Fortunately, that other world had been specially adjusted to accelerate time—though a million years had passed there, only about a year had elapsed in Qingyuan Great Realm.

“After achieving Eternity, I no longer need to deliberately split off immortal clones or dragon thoughts—I can simply leave behind eternal marks.”

Fang Xing experienced the many differences of the Fifteenth Realm of Eternity.

His spirit was eternal, capable of touching the very source of such realm-level worlds, accomplishing countless impossible feats.

‘This… is essentially turning the realm into one’s own inner world… a thought makes one the Creator?’

‘Yet, within the source of this Qingyuan Great Realm, there are not just one but many eternal marks… minor tweaks are fine, but if it involves’

‘the interests of other Eternals, there will surely be conflict…’

Fang Xing glanced at his attribute panel:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Profession: Star Warrior】

【Fifteenth Realm: Eternity】

【Transcendence Traits: Great Divinity, Transcendence (0.005%)】

【Mastered Dao: Zhenwu】

【Panwu Scripture: Lower Volume: 80000/80000 (Master）】

【Heart Power: 1/80000 (Master）】

【Eternal Unextinguished Sun King Spell: 1/20000 (Master）】

【Gate of All Realms (Charging)】

…

“Oh? Heart Power and the Eternal Unextinguished Sun King Spell both broke through? Indeed… earlier I couldn’t break through because my realm was insufficient; now that I’ve reached Eternity, the breakthrough came naturally.”

Fang Xing nodded, his gaze fixed on the sub-entry: 【Transcendence (0.005%)】.

Clearly, this was the change triggered after the Eternal Unextinguished Sun King Spell reached Master level—gathering another transcendence trait: Unextinguished Sun Transcendence!

“I didn’t feel it when I was at the Fourteenth Realm as Dao Lord, but after breaking into the Fifteenth Realm, I now sense the pull of transcendence…”

Fang Xing’s expression turned grave: “Even one transcendence trait is this powerful—if I gather two, or even more… perhaps I won’t even need to find someone to ‘fill the Dao’—I could force transcendence myself.”

“Once my Eternal Unextinguished Sun King Spell is perfected and transcendence fully condensed, with these two high-tier transcendence traits… even with many karmic threads still entangled, I may still force the ultimate leap.”

A flash of light from Fang Xing’s third eye sent another eternal mark flying out.

In an instant, it illuminated the entire Qingyuan Great Realm.

“Oh? Han Lin… he’s a potential candidate to fill the Dao.”

His gaze shifted to Han Lin, then swept over himself, spotting several thick karmic threads—one deeply tied to this realm.

Fang Xing gently plucked at this karmic thread and immediately understood: this was the karmic thread belonging to ‘Qinghua Niangniang’!

“I once made a vow to revive her, but I wasn’t a master of time-space Dao and lacked revival ability. Still, now that I’ve reached Eternity, it’s not too late.”

As Fang Xing thought, an eternal mark descended into the Qinghua Small Realm.

Though the Qinghua Small Realm was protected by rules set by a heavenly demon, it had no effect against an Eternal’s mark.

Fang Xing even released a trace of his aura to stabilize the space, lest the small realm collapse outright.

“Great Eternal Being…”

A serpent-woman flew out, froze upon seeing Fang Xing: “You… are the Black Dragon Emperor?!”

“You should now call me Eternal Emperor.”

Fang Xing’s eternal mark manifested as a black dragon, his consciousness extending everywhere, probing into the source of Qingyuan Great Realm.

Theoretically, every living being leaves a ‘trace’ within the world’s source.

As an Eternal, with extremely high authority, one can retrieve such traces and restore life—that is the principle of revival.

Just as heavenly immortals and demons restore beings within their inner realms.

“Even if a mortal died tens of millions of years ago, I can pull them out and restore them to youth—no risk of reviving only to age and die immediately.”

“The power of Eternity is truly unimaginable…”

Fang Xing sighed.

Of course, this kind of ‘revival’ has prerequisites.

For instance, if killed by another Eternal who actively erased all traces of the victim from the world’s source, revival becomes impossible.

Even death within certain special cosmic realms—like those of Transcendents—makes revival difficult.

But Qinghua Niangniang was merely a heavenly demon; she couldn’t even meet such powerful beings, let alone offend them.

Standing within the Qinghua Small Realm, using her aura as an anchor, Fang Xing felt like a GM with supreme authority, searching the ‘Qingyuan Great Realm’ source server for ‘Qinghua Niangniang’s’ data…

Standing within the Blue Flower Minor Realm, using its aura as an anchor, Fang Xing felt as if he had become a GM with supreme authority, beginning to search for information on “Lady Blue Flower” within the core server of the “Qing Yuan Great Realm”…

Fang Xing’s eyes flickered; he raised a finger.

A phantom figure with a human torso and serpent tail appeared, gradually solidifying, radiating the aura of a heavenly demon.

A phantom figure with a human torso and serpent tail emerged, steadily solidifying, radiating the aura of a heavenly demon.

The realm-spirit serpent-woman burst into tears.

“This… didn’t I perish?”

Qinghua Niangniang looked bewildered, then saw Fang Xing and gasped: “Above the Emperor?!”

This was a being more terrifying than the strongest power in Qingdi Palace!

“My Lady, you have perished, but this being once shared a karmic bond with you and came specifically to revive you…”

The realm-spirit serpent-woman stepped forward at once to explain.

“So that’s how it is…”

Qinghua Niangniang’s eyes, filled with sorrow, flickered: ‘I never imagined… my casual creation of a small realm would lead to such fortune…’

Fang Xing paid no attention to the mistress and servant, silently experiencing the difference of revival.

‘This revival by an Eternal is more like a ‘big data restore’—not reversing the river of time-space to forcibly save someone…’

How terrifying is the river of time-space?

Even Eternals are bound by it, like fish trapped in the current, unable to reach shore.

To truly return to the past?

Only a Sixteenth Realm Transcendent—beyond Eternity—might possibly achieve it.

‘Yet after reviving Qinghua Niangniang, one of my karmic threads has been severed…’

Fang Xing turned to the remaining thick threads: “Are these karmic ties to the Insect Civilization, the Heavenly Immortal Realm’s Demon Lord, and the Demon Lord?”

“The Insect Civilization’s thread can be resolved quickly; the other two—Demon Lord and Immortal Lord—can wait until I prepare for transcendence.”

Fang Xing now realized that accumulating too many high-tier transcendence traits wasn’t necessarily beneficial.

For instance, resolving just one karmic thread now gave him a sensation of floating toward immortality.

If he severed all karmic ties and then sought someone to ‘fill the Dao,’ he might not even need preparation—he’d be forced into transcendence immediately.

Once all karmic ties are resolved, finding someone to “fill the Dao” might even render preparation unnecessary—you could force transcendence outright.

But if it failed? Wouldn’t that be absurd?

“It seems more transcendence traits aren’t always better. I shouldn’t even think about the Dao Lord’s ‘Hongmeng Purple Qi’ method…”

“Otherwise, if I possess three transcendence traits at once, I might truly bypass the need to find someone to fill the Dao—and be forced into premature transcendence.”

As Fang Xing finished his thoughts, Qinghua Niangniang had fully understood the situation. She slithered forward with grace and bowed deeply: “Qinghua… thanks to Your Majesty’s aid.”

Though she had once been his disciple, she now positioned herself correctly, not mentioning it at all.

“Hmm. Our karmic debt is settled.”

Fang Xing waved his hand, his form dissolving into an eternal mark and vanishing instantly.

Qinghua Niangniang watched this, feeling a pang of sorrow: “I’ve been dead too long… now revived, I find Qingdi Palace is gone…”

Lady Blue Flower gazed at this scene, a touch of sorrow in her eyes: “I have been dead too long… Now that I’ve been reborn, I never imagined the Qing Emperor’s Palace would be gone…”

In a mysterious space.

A strange rune descended, taking the form of Fang Xing.

Within the space, a mighty, noble-looking man sat cross-legged—it was Pangu Wu.

Within the space, a mighty man of noble and heroic appearance sat cross-legged—it was Pan Gu Wu!

Fang Xing greeted with a smile.

After breaking into the Eternity Realm, he naturally gained many abilities without a teacher.

Combined with the aid of the Gate of All Realms, and Pangu Wu being his master, finding him was no difficulty.

“Hah! Good. As my disciple, I look forward to the day you surpass me. I never expected it to come so soon…”

“Hah… good. As my disciple, I look forward to the day you surpass me. I never expected it to come so soon…”

Fang Xing had undoubtedly forged the True Martial Dao—True Martial Dao now surpassed Panwu Dao.

Fang Xing can sever the Dao of Zhen Wu; without doubt, the True Martial Dao has overshadowed the Pan Wu Dao.

But he felt only joy.

From the fact that Pan Gu Wu founded the Pan Wu Dao, a path that crushed all others, it is clear he was never the type to cling to tradition or envy his disciples.

“I must also thank my Master for teaching me the Pan Wu Scripture...”

Fang Xing smiled, sat cross-legged, and a black lotus naturally rose from the void beneath him.

He spoke with lotus-flower eloquence and began debating the Dao with Pan Gu Wu.

“The True Martial Dao... self-strengthening without cease is martial! It is the martial of true self...”

Pan Gu Wu immediately became absorbed; the two continuously debated, each finding mutual benefit.

“Regarding transcendence... has Master already severed the Pan Wu Dao, cut all karmic ties, and now waits only for the final leap?”

Fang Xing asked: “How prepared are you for the traits of transcendence?”

“Alas... transcendence legacies are exceedingly rare. I have never had the fortune to see one, let alone acquire any transcendence traits.”

As Pan Gu Wu spoke, he stared at Fang Xing with growing unease.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that his disciple had already taken half a step ahead, as if only a thread’s breadth from transcendence.

‘It seems my disciple truly has great fortune... but to be noticed so early by a transcendent being—could this be blessing or curse?’

Pan Gu Wu’s heart stirred.

Fang Xing raised his hand, and a strange drop of blood appeared—precisely the drop of transcendence blood he had obtained in his Mind-Phase world!

“This... this...”

Seeing the drop of blood, Pan Gu Wu’s eyes widened instantly: “Transcendent blood?”

“Correct—it is transcendence blood. If Master can refine it, even possessing a trace of ‘transcendent bloodline’ counts as a transcendence trait...”

Fang Xing smiled lightly and declared generously.
