Chapter 102: Chapter 98: Great Sun Furnace (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"This is..."

With a thought, the Mysterious Iron Token the size of a thumb fell into his hand.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Laws Token given to me by Chen Yi?"

Fang Xing muttered to himself, then put on a monocle and connected to the drone, scanning the nearby map.

"Um... this place is quite close to Five Scorpion Valley, could it be that the Ten Thousand Laws Token has sensed the Secret Realm? To be so responsive even through the storage bag... It seems that this Ten Thousand Laws Token is of quite a high grade, it may well be forged from Third Rank materials."

He pondered for a moment, then turned and walked away.

No matter how good a Secret Realm is, it has little to do with Martial Artists.

After walking several miles, the glow from the Ten Thousand Laws Token gradually faded and no longer appeared miraculous.

"The extreme sensing distance is 16,923 meters..."

"Maintain this distance, and the Ten Thousand Laws Token no longer has a signal?"

Fang Xing finally glanced in the direction of Five Scorpion Valley.

According to the drone’s aerial photography, there was no longer a Third Rank Demon Beast there, the most powerful being a single-horned lion Demon Beast.

Judging from its speed and strength in the video, it was about the same as the Golden Feathered Vulture.

He could totally attempt to infiltrate or even force a kill, then open the Secret Realm!

"But... I don’t have the means of a Cultivator, what to do after entering the Secret Realm?"

"Even if I gain benefits from the Secret Realm, eighty percent of them would be usable only by Cultivators, what does that have to do with me as a Martial Artist?"

"High investment, low return, only a fool would do that."

"Compared to exploring the Secret Realm, I’d rather go grave-digging!"

After transporting the Second Rank Demon Beast pork back to the Underground Camp, Fang Xing was greatly motivated and specially cut a fine strip of pork belly to cook himself a delicious braised pork dish.

This Second Rank Demon Beast, although recently advanced, had meat that was fine, firm, and especially delicious!

The key was that after eating it, a rich surge of energy and blood flowed throughout his body, greatly benefitting his Martial Arts practice!

"I feel that this Second Rank Demon Beast meat is even more effective than those high-grade nutrient fluids bought from the Professional Mall..."

Fang Xing steamed a pot full of Spirit Rice, enjoyed it with the braised pork, filling three large bowls, and not even sparing the soup, he mixed it with rice, eating to his content.

After practicing Pile Skill for a while, he then left the camp, ready to go grave-digging.

"Hmm, according to the drone’s last record, it should be buried here, right?"

He arrived at a barren wilderness and began digging up a layer of soil.

Soon, he found a metal box; opening it revealed some ash and a half piece of dark gold cloth.

This was where Bai Lianyi’s remains had been buried!

"Indeed... similar to what was left behind by that sect leader Bishop, but a bit more obscure... Essentially, the difference between an original and a copy..."

As he looked at the half-circle sun on the cloth, Fang Xing grew contemplative.

That young Bishop may well have had a backup plan, which was to die at the hands of Gu Jiantong if he failed!

Then, that piece of cloth would become Gu Jiantong’s spoils of war!

With the talents of that yellow-browed brat, it was possible he comprehended the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ after a few glances, and then gradually became obsess, polluted without realizing it.

"But... that’s just speculation."

Fang Xing picked up the half-piece of cloth only to find that the Gate of All Heavens on his attribute panel still showed no reaction.

Perhaps... accustomed to exotic delicacies, it disdained this small dish?

A somewhat amusing thought crossed his mind, and a strand of his Spiritual Power extended into the dark gold cloth.

Boom!

In the next instant, a crimson Great Sun rose in his Sea of Consciousness and fragmented spells, explanations, and even a few moves spontaneously emerged in his mind.

Moments later, Fang Xing came back to his senses, looking at the cloth in his hands.

Now, the dark gold cloth made of unknown material had turned to ashes, slowly drifting away with the wind in the palm of his hand.

"If what I acquired from the Bishop was the complete outline of the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’, then were these its applications, explanations, even some moves?"

Martial Arts can be used for good or evil, depending on how they are used; even among Superpower Users, the majority are loyal to humankind.

Since he’d already received the complete outline of the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’, it was natural to study these moves without reservation.

"The Great Sun Tathagata Mantra... I’ve just entered the threshold. Besides the Great Sun contemplation I explored on my own to guard my spirit, the primary move is the ’Great Sun Furnace’! This is also how to advance the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra!"

The ’Great Sun Furnace’ could refine any external Spiritual Power, imprint, even Evil God’s corruption... turning all these into ’fuel,’ advancing the stage of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra!

"That means... the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ can be directly ’powered up,’ though the resources for the ’points’ are somewhat strange... it can even devour similar types of Evil God’s pollution!"

"Is this really a top-tier Super Martial prepared to corrupt human geniuses? Why does it seem like it was made specifically to counteract Evil God’s followers? Could there be infighting among the followers of the Evil God?"

"Or has the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ fundamentally changed after passing through the attribute panel?"

Fang Xing was puzzled but then glanced at the attribute panel:

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 10/100 (Beginner)]

...

"I haven’t been practicing it at all, yet the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra increased by 9 points of proficiency; it must have been the ’points’ from last time when it devoured lingering thoughts of the Cosmic Whale..."

"Even these are only mediocre ’fuel’... The best ’fuel’ would be those Evil God’s followers and their kin!"

"If I were willing to fall into demonic ways, Fourth Realm Martial Artists who possess Courage within humanity could also be ’burned,’ which should be quite excellent fuel!"

"But why would I want to crazily advance this unclearly detailed Super Martial?"

Fang Xing remained cautious about the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ and secretly decided to stick to his previous plan.

He always kept his Martial Arts Will above the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, maintaining at least a major rank of advantage.

...

Fang Xing decided not to look for troubles, so the dangers of the Secret Realm naturally could not find him.

He holed up in the Underground Camp with little Spiritual Energy, consuming Spirit Rice and Second Rank Demon Beast meat every day to focus on his martial arts training.

In such an undistracted state, time flew by without him realizing it.

Devil’s Canyon.

Inside the cave.

A flash of silver light, and Fang Xing’s figure appeared.

"Time flies, not realizing that summer vacation is about to pass..." he muttered to himself, looking at his attribute panel:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 18]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Fourth Realm: Courage (68/200)]

[Military Boxing Twelve Styles: 198/200 (Master)]

[Great Dragon Stance: 182/400 (Master)]

[Hidden Tiger Stance: 101/400 (Master)]

[Ghost God Saber: 156/200 (Master)]

[Extreme Emotion Sword: 143/200 (Master)]

[Dragon Elephant Skill: 22/400 (Master)]

[Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power: 45/100 (Beginner)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 10/100 (Beginner)]

[Gate of All Heavens (Charging)]

...

"One summer vacation’s arduous cultivation, and my strength has increased quite a bit... Once Military Boxing reaches Master Level, I can gain another baptism of Martial Arts Realm, and the proficiency of the Courage Realm will definitely rise further..."

"As for the Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power, truly an S-ranked martial arts, it’s somewhat difficult to improve..."

As for the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ this Super Martial?

That was something Fang Xing deliberately did not cultivate.

"It’s about time to go out, and those who are prepared to sign a contract, if they are sincere, they should have arrived, right?"

Fang Xing stepped out of the cave, looked at his ragged clothes, which made him look like a beggar, smiled to himself, and walked toward the mouth of the valley.

...

Devil’s Canyon entrance.

Inside a luxury suite at the Seven Stars Hotel.

"Really, that Fang Xing, immersed in cultivation... It’s been over a month, right?"

Liang Yucheng sighed with a bit of boredom.

Opposite him sat a young woman in her twenties who, dressed like an urban white-collar worker, sipped her drink casually and spoke at a leisurely pace, "What’s so strange about retreating for over a month? Without such a firm belief in Martial Arts, no matter how great the talent, it’s hard to truly grow... You should be happy, if you can bring back a contract with such a genius for the ’Green God Group’, it will help your future too... You know, with many people in our family, if you want to get a good position in the future, you can’t miss any chance..."

The Green God Group was a powerful consortium within the Blue Star Federation, holding numerous pharmaceutical patents and its influence permeating all aspects of the Federation.

"Yes, my dear aunt, I was wrong!"

Liang Yucheng quickly apologized.

He was currently responsible for sales of the Green God Group on Chuying Star, and was ambitiously hoping to become the general manager of the Black Mountain Star System.

Therefore, when the Group issued the task, he went directly to Fengye City, but, of course, did not find Fang Xing.

After finally hearing the news, he followed it here, only to find that Fang Xing had holed up in Devil’s Canyon and had not come out!

Without any means of contact, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so they could only wait in a room here.

"That Fang Xing is a bit clever, intentionally disappearing, is he trying to hold out for a higher price?"

The professional woman laughed.

She was of Liang Yucheng’s great aunt’s generation, having celebrated her hundredth birthday, what kind of person had she not seen?

Fang Xing’s little tricks could not fool anyone.

"Indeed... but if everyone starts bidding, our Green God Group doesn’t stand much of a chance."

Liang Yucheng was somewhat anxious, "I originally hoped to use our local advantage to be the first to knock and sign... Aunt, could you increase my budget?

"Signing with a high budget, but if the future development is poor, it won’t be a merit but a dereliction!"

The woman in the white collar shook her head, put down her drink, "You work diligently, at least your attitude shows, that’s enough... The Group, after all, is under the control of us of the Liang family, as long as you stand firm, the general manager position of the Black Mountain Star System won’t escape you. Alright, I am going to meet an important client, you handle it..."

After speaking, her image vanished in an instant.

Liang Yucheng let out a sigh and was just about to go to the bar for some entertainment when his Communication Device rang, "What? He appeared... Okay, I’ll be right there!"

He had just stepped out the door when he saw the room opposite open and a middle-aged Caucasian man stepped out.

The two men exchanged glances, both a bit startled.

’Not good, that’s Wright from the Shadow Dragon Group... He’s definitely here for the genius contract, too.’

Liang Yucheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
