Chapter 186: Chapter 161 Clues (Please Subscribe)

Nine Apertures Golden Core!

This was the name Fang Xing had given his own Outer Elixir.

With a plethora of rare materials from the Main Universe and the Heavenly Sword Sect, combined with the power of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, he had reluctantly refined it.

Although artificially enhancing Cultivation Power with external elements carried the risk of a shaky foundation, making one prone to targeted attacks,

his Divine Sense was naturally powerful. Crucially, his consciousness was one with his main body, his Martial Arts Will astonishing, and his Spiritual Power so refined that it could manipulate each portion of mana as desired, as though he were a veteran Fake Core cultivator, devoid of any instability in his power.

"With this level of cultivation, I should finally be able to make some moves in the Main Universe..."

Fang Xing flicked his fingers, and a streak of sword light flew out, emitting a piercing whistle in mid-air.

This was no longer the ordinary Sword Qi and Thunder Sound, but Sword Gang!

Refining Sword into Gang!

Atop Golden Yuan Peak.

A long howl was heard, and a streak of sword light flew out, suddenly dividing into a myriad of sword threads.

Countless threads spread out, like a delicate drizzle, yet carrying extreme sharpness.

Suddenly, the Sword Gang transformed again!

From a single Sword Shadow, it divided into two, two into four, four into eight!

Each Flying Sword appeared incomparably solid.

The entire sky filled with the humming of swords, alarming nearby Cultivators and spreading the news at lightning speed.

On another peak.

Yu Jianzi released a jade-like Flying Sword from his sleeve, looking thoughtfully in the direction of Golden Yuan Peak, "Refining Sword into Gang, and he has also mastered Refining Sword into Silk and Sword Light Division? Worthy of being a True Disciple of the sword! If I faced him, I probably wouldn’t stand a chance..."

He had originally been strutting across the land, successfully cultivating Sword Gang, full of ambition and ready to claim a spot as a True Inheritor back at his Sect.

Yet he had heard that an Outer Hall Foundation Establishment Cultivator had, in a single step on Sword Heart Peak at four hundred paces, become a True Inheritor.

Without even a Lifebound Flying Sword, he had secluded himself on Golden Yuan Peak to refine his sword!

Initially resentful, he had wanted to challenge him.

After all, defeating a True Disciple was the quickest way to climb the ranks of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

But he hadn’t expected that upon this Sword Child’s emergence from seclusion, he would display such techniques!

In that moment, Yu Jianzi quashed the thought.

While Sword Cultivators do seek to hone their blades in combat, it’s not about courting death purposefully!

Only a fool would challenge knowing defeat is certain.

One should only draw their sword when there’s a glimpse of victory; otherwise, Sword Cultivators would have long since perished...

...

After circling Golden Yuan Peak thrice with his Flying Sword, Fang Xing retracted the sword energy filling the hall.

"With the display I just put on, it’s still of the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator level, but it has already reached the standard of a True Disciple. I suppose that should reduce some trouble, right?"

He had deliberately revealed the techniques of a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator as a deterrent.

After all, he had been secluding himself in his Cave Mansion, refining Magic Treasures and Flying Swords, and consuming large amounts of Sect resources, which was sure to cause discontent.

Although he could show off and slap faces, why bother?

Better to deter others and thus give the Sect a reason for their investment... not having bet on the wrong person.

If anyone still came looking for trouble, he would just cut them down with one sword strike.

’If someone still comes to cause trouble underestimating me, that might actually be a good thing.’

’In reality, my Cultivation Power has reached the level of Fake Core.’

’Even my Sword Dao Realm is subtly touching upon Sword Intent.’

The Third Realm of Sword Cultivators is the comprehension of Sword Intent!

Fang Xing, who had received the Imprint on Sword Heart Peak, even had some insight into ’Sword Intent Formation,’ though his realm wasn’t high enough to fully utilize it.

Now, barely comparable to a Fake Core, combined with his mighty Martial Arts Will, he naturally touched upon the ’Sword Heart’ with ease.

Once he fully condensed the ’Sword Heart,’ Sword Intent would emerge naturally.

’If I were to reveal this, I’m afraid even true experts would go mad... A Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator grasping Third Rank Sword Heart and Sword Intent would be considered a genius on par with a Supreme Elder...’

’Chances are they’ll even refer me to Chu Kuangtu to see if he would take a disciple...’

’It’s not ideal to loiter under the eyes of a Nascent Soul all day; better forget about it...’

...

One year later.

On the Secret Realm Battlefield.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Innumerable pitch-black spikes penetrated Fang Xing.

Each spike was exceedingly sharp, covered in fine filaments.

Strangely, after passing through Fang Xing, they didn’t draw a single drop of blood.

As it turned out, it was merely an afterimage.

Midair, a giant eyeball was nervously darting around, but it was already too late.

Fang Xing’s figure appeared above the eyeball as if he had teleported, the Ghost Head Saber roaring down with a ferocious slash!

Dazzling saber light carrying the will to destroy everything split the eyeball’s defenses, cleanly bisecting it.

As this high-ranking servant perished, several spots in the Secret Realm’s void began to tear and fracture... stirring up a space storm.

"Tyrant Evil Eye... all paupers."

Fang Xing remarked on the spoils of war, then disappeared in an instant.

Inside a metallic fortress.

"Drip, body check complete, no contamination, no internal injuries..."

"Reserve Lieutenant Martial Arts, you receive 80 military merits!"

The feedback from the ’Omniscient Brain’ arrived promptly.

"Only 80 military merits? Seems like this high-ranking servant was indeed weak..."

Martial Arts sighed, having carried out a mandatory mission each month for over a year, killing high-ranking servants.

In doing so, he had gradually risen through the military ranks.

In fact, as a graduate of the Blue Star University, once you joined the military, as long as you didn’t make any serious mistakes, it was normal for your rank to rise quickly.

Even during the internship period, this was the case.

"He’s come out... Demon Blade Martial Arts!"

When he stepped out of the Space Warehouse, he immediately received numerous awestruck gazes.

As someone who always went his own way, yet consistently completed missions successfully, Martial Arts’s fame in this military camp had been growing.

Even because he used a Ghost Head Saber as his weapon, he had gradually acquired the nickname ’Demon Blade’.

Of course, he definitely would not acknowledge this nickname in his heart.

Even being called ’Saber King’ or ’Saber Tyrant’ would be far better than some ’Demon Blade’.

But at the moment, he scanned the area with an expressionless face and headed to the military merit exchange board in the square.

"I’ve already got the Shaoyin Evil Qi for the universe’s Yin Yang.qi, and there are some clues about the Sun True Gang. If I exchange now, I’d be a fool..."

Martial Arts didn’t plan to exchange anything in the Main Universe that would thicken the foundation of his Golden Core.

He intended to collect resources in the Cultivation World, so that once he condensed the Martial Arts Golden Core, he would announce to the outside world that he had only an ordinary Golden Core.

This was to hide a trick up his sleeve.

After all, the Golden Core was such a private matter that one couldn’t simply ask a Martial Artist to open up for inspection—it was tantamount to asking them to give up their lives.

Then, upon reaching the Vajra Realm, display a bit of the ’Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power’, silently cultivate to the ’Great Vajra Realm’s Golden Body Nine Revolutions’, publicly claim a mere Golden Body Seventh Revolutions, and then forcefully breakthrough to Martial Saint...

Such a Martial Saint might have a bit of hope for breaking through to Martial God, but obviously wouldn’t attract as much attention as a strong Martial Saint who broke through from the Great Vajra Realm.

’Standing out too much draws too much attention...’

’Gradually blending in with the crowd later on isn’t bad either... After all, I have the resources of another world, so I don’t really need this side’s...’

Martial Arts glanced through the military merit board and immediately exchanged for some elixirs that would help with the cultivation of Outer Realm Martial Artists, then returned to his dormitory.

After a quick wash, he lay on the large bed, started surfing the internet, and casually browsed his inbox.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he saw an email, thought for a moment, and made a call.

"Senior?"

The call was quickly answered, on the other end was Gu Yun.

So many years had passed, and the once little girl had blossomed into a beautiful woman.

"Mhm, you’re a senior too now, where are you interning?"

Martial Arts chatted for a few sentences and then began to inquire about her internship.

"In the Blue Star Prevention and Control Bureau..."

Gu Yun’s voice was somewhat downcast, "Aunt Bai used a lot of connections for this, I couldn’t really say no... Honestly, I would have preferred to go to the battlefield."

’To be able to intern at the Prevention and Control Bureau, you don’t know how many university students would be envious...’ Martial Arts thought with a touch of irony, but also felt a sense of Blue Star Federation’s bureaucracy and class solidification setting in.

For example, Gu Yun, who was essentially ’one of their own’ at the Prevention and Control Bureau, got to intern there during university.

And after graduation, she’d most likely end up there too.

Just like Song Jingang was almost certain to join the Security Bureau.

Of course, Song Jingang had some martial pursuits, so even though he could intern at the local Security Bureau, he ultimately chose to go to the battlefield.

Gu Jiantong, the pride of heaven, did the same.

"Is interning at the Prevention and Control Bureau hard?"

Martial Arts showed concern, feeling something was amiss.

It almost seemed like... perhaps... most likely... after Chuying Star’s Prevention and Control Bureau, he had planted his little informants in the Blue Star Bureau as well?

’But the inspections here are much more stringent... and with the ’Omniscient Brain’ constantly watching, it’s easier to make a mess of things trying to be clever. Better forget it...’

Compared to remote places like Chuying Star, Blue Star’s security must be extremely good.

Martial Arts didn’t want to test the limits of the Omniscient Brain.

"It’s okay... although a bit tiring, it’s very fulfilling every day..."

Gu Yun, as always, seemed to have no guard up against Martial Arts, her big brother figure, and happily shared everything about the Prevention and Control Bureau.

Of course, there were also some small troubles.

"Today, there was this brainwashed idiot woman trying to overturn the case for a cult leader... It’s so infuriating, she was the one who initially had him put away, and now she’s overturning her own testimony, even if it means being convicted herself..."

Gu Yun complained.

"Oh?"

Martial Arts felt a sense of déjà vu: "Cult leaders can overturn their convictions?"

"Sigh... that’s just a big fraudster, flaunting religion and using some spiritual powers to swindle money and seduce people. I looked at the files, it was a student from your Blue Star University that sent him in, then he got backstabbed by his own followers, continually had his sentence increased, it’s a joke!"

Gu Yun ranted.

Martial Arts’s sense of déjà vu grew stronger: "The Blue Star University student who sent that fraudster in, wasn’t his name ’Gu Jiantong’?"

"Yeah, how do you know?" Gu Yun sounded puzzled.

"I’m good friends with Gu Jiantong..." Martial Arts became intrigued: "Is that fraudster going to be released?"

"Proceedings are underway; after all, he’s not really connected to the Outer Realm Evil God, just a plain con man... Since he’s actively returning the stolen funds and has served a few years in jail, now with the person who sent him in recanting their testimony, it’s possible he might get out..."

Gu Yun’s voice carried a hint of frustration.
