Chapter 999: Reformation

Two months ago, in the Church of Universal Truth’s Scriptures Bureau…

Ulpian’s figure slowly floated in midair. His hands kept on disappearing and reappearing as if they had entered an unknown world.

Fang Xingjian sat in front of him, looked at his actions, and said calmly, “The appearance of fire completely changed mankind’s history, and it also changed the way humans battle.

“From then on, mankind’s development ended up being a history of non-stop warfare.

“Bronzeware, armored cavalries, steam engines, internal combustion engines… Each science and technological reformation leads to a drastic change in warfare.

“Firearms almost turned cold weapons completely obsolete. Tanks can easily massacre infantries. Fighter aircrafts changed the way of the war, and missiles expanded the area of the battlefield across the entire planet…

“It’s also like this for Miracle World. Light speed movements, cloning, taking on the form of intents, Spatial Translocation… Each advancement in techniques leads to the reformation of battle methods. The people who fall behind… almost have no means of retaliating.”

Ulpian continued, “The same goes for tier six Divine level experts’ Spatial Translocation. Experts who have grasped Spatial Translocation will have absolute advantage in battle, and their opponents who haven’t grasped it will have no means of retaliating.

“In order to surpass them, one will need to completely change the rules of battle, using an unprecedented skill to take the lead in the battle, such as how it is for light speed movements, Sudden Inspiration, and Spatial Translocation.”

During their conversation, Ulpian’s arms completely disappeared. Even his body had started to enter a condition where it was going to start disappearing.

“We’ve spent one month gathering the ultimate arts from various sects and factions across the and, grasped all of the knowledge, anda portion of the profoundness behind the 13 demonic gods’ powers. This amasses almost all of the power systems in this world. We’ve finally achieved something…”

As Ulpian spoke, his body disappeared abruptly. Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered, and martial will surged up, sweeping out in all directions like sea waves. However, even though he managed to reach out to the ends of space-time, he was still unable to find any hint of Ulpian’s traces.

However, Fang Xingjian had no questions about this at all. He merely sat there, seeming to have countless details flashing past his eyes. Fang Xingjian did not move at all, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Three days later, the Immortality Saint appeared before Fang Xingjian and tapped out with a finger. A stream of light wave darted into Fang Xingjian’s mind.

“This is the information to told me to gather. They are all the accounts about space and time that the Church of Universal Truth had collected, and there are even some of the notes written by a few Popes.”

The Immortality Saint said, “But what do you want with these? Each cultivator has different thoughts and sees different things, and their understanding of the world would also be different. What these people see are merely a portion of the universal truth.

“Reading these might not be of any help to you and might instead become an obstacle.”

As the Immortality Saint spoke, he glanced around the surroundings and asked, “Oh, right. Where’s Ulpian? My White Emperor Zenith Sword is still with him.”

Fang Xingjian said calmly, “He’s right here.”

“He’s right here?” The Immortality Saint released his martial will but was unable to find any traces of Ulpian. He sighed helplessly and asked, “How are the results on your side?”

“We’ve discovered some new paths, but we have different interpretations. He’s roaming amidst spatial gaps and searching for the intrinsic nature of his existence…” Fang Xingjian paused and then continued, “And I’m currently trying to find a way to reobserve this world to see its truth.”

“Can you speak in human language?” The Immortality Saint shrugged. “Forget it, I’m leaving. You guys can continue.” Ten days ago, the Immortality Saint completely gave up on cultivating together with Fang Xingjian and Ulpian.

Although they had shared all of their knowledge and secret manuals, the duo’s progress made the Immortality Saint feel inferior.

He had no idea when it started, but the Immortality Saint had started failing to understand what Ulpian said. As for Fang Xingjian, the Immortality Saint also had no idea what he was cultivating.

Therefore, he withdrew from the group and cultivated this knowledge obtained by himself.

Seeing the Immortality Saint’s departure, Fang Xingjian closed his eyes, and it was as if the entire world seemed to have sunk into darkness.

“What the eyes see isn’t the truth.

“What the ears hear isn’t the truth…

“Even what the martial will senses isn’t the truth either.

“What is the truth?

“Everything we see is just the series of energy and momentum changes photons undergo on the retina after being reflected by the external environment and perceived by our eyes.

“The brain then forms a image based on these changes.

“What is the truth of this world? Momentum and energy are the intrinsic nature of this world. Our five senses, our emotions, and even our consciousness are but changes to countless momentum and energy.

“And the source of their changes…

Fang Xingjian raised his head and looked toward the sky. His eyes were filled with indifference. It was as if his gaze had penetrated through countless void spaces and could see the ends of the universe.

He raised his finger lightly, and a big tree in the distant shattered abruptly without any warning, turning into dust.

…

When the Plenary Foundation Septet swept through the Imperial Capital and was slowly gaining advantage in the situation, Fang Xingjian was still seated in the small place where he had been since two months ago.

“After three months of tough cultivation, I’ve finally advanced further,” Fang Xingjian mumbled to himself as he looked at the place before his eyes.

“Cut off all sources, jump out from the picture, and reach the very essence,” Ulpian’s voice rang out in his mind. “Brother Fang, your sword arts have reached the peak of perfection.”

Fang Xingjian replied, “This is also the result of our interaction. However, only my sword arts have managed to achieve this and not me personally.”

“Despite this, you’ve already won against all the well-known swordsmen in the course of this world’s history,” Ulpian said calmly. “The universe’s vastness surpasses everyone’s imagination. The thing beyond space-time is still space-time. What we’re observing now is merely just a part of the truth.

“And being able to observe even more truth based on this portion of the truth means we’re already on the path leading to the universal truth.”

Just then, Fang Xingjian’s brows furrowed together. “The matter at the Imperial Capital… I’ll make a trip there.” He stood up while saying this.

“It’s a pity. I’m still one step away and haven’t reached the optimal level.”

“It’s fine. There’s still tier seven, eight, and nine of the Divine level in this world. We’ll have sufficient chances.”

“I’ll be back very soon.”

…

At this moment, the black sword lotus exploded on the fatty’s head, causing his entire torso to be stirred up into pulp.

Faced with this attack that neglected the turbid flow and his Heavenly Secrets Shifting Art, a hint of panic flashed in the fatty’s will.

Simultaneously, the other five also let out a furious bellow and took action against Fang Xingjian at the same time.

Under Fang Xingjian’s gaze, all images, light waves, and sound waves disappeared, one after another.

In his eyes, all that was left were the changes to energy and momentum. His will seemed to have leaped up to an extreme height, casting a gaze down on the entire world.
