Chapter 552: Chapter 450 Qingming Castle

Above the Material Layer and the Void Layer, in the Illusion Void Layer.

The Void was bizarre and dazzling, and a silver-white Void Ship sailed through it, cutting through the waves.

The commander of the Flying Scale Ocean Trident Army, ’Jiao Chi,’ stood on the deck, surveying the entire ship, not daring to relax for even a moment.

In the deepest part of the ship, within a secret room.

Fang Xing held an ancient bronze mirror in his hand, stroking the rust marks on the mirror, his eyes thoughtful: "I can already understand everything in ’Inch of Time.’ It’s not very useful to me anymore..."

’Inch of Time’ was written by the Primordial Spirit Dominator, Picking Light. Even Picking Light wasn’t a Time Heavenly Immortal. The further it went, the harder it was to comprehend.

Fang Xing’s main focus now was to comprehend the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Scroll,’ which he recently exchanged merit points for from Boundaryless Mountain.

With the Time Dao Principle origin reflected in the ’Time Mirror,’ and the Primordial Spirit of the Candle Dragon blessing him, his progress in the path of time was rapid.

In the path of the void, although slightly inferior, he was making significant progress as well.

’Above the Illusion Void Layer... there is indeed another layer, which might be called the ’Tao Layer’?’

Compared to the bizarre Illusion Void Layer, the Tao Layer was more abstract, consisting of ’Dao’ and ’principle’... In the Tao Layer, one could sense the forces of the Dao and the radiation that bore them...

Fang Xing could even sense the ’Immortal Dao’ that came from layer upon layer of time and space through the Tao Layer!

In other words, he could actually refine spiritual energy and cultivate in the immortal path.

But in Qing Yuan Great Realm, there was no need for it.

"In the Tao Layer, one could sense all the existing Daos... Entering this layer of consciousness meant qualifying to comprehend the Dao more effortlessly... However, it’s also extremely dangerous!"

Among the interwoven threads of principle and the forces of the Dao, Fang Xing not only sensed immortal spiritual energy but also True Demon Qi and the radiation forces of other Daos!

If one became too absorbed, they might inadvertently become polluted by other Daos and end up completely ruined...

Therefore, despite comprehending the Space Law, he only dabbled superficially in the Tao Layer.

"The Dao... Though most Daos can only be comprehended by Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons, certain exceptionally gifted Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators can also achieve it, like the Primordial Spirit Dominators... Those who walk the Path of Law must have comprehended the forces of the Dao; otherwise, how could they rival the complete Dao force of Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons with mere fragments of the True Illusion Dao?"

"But taking this step makes it even harder to become a Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon... Though the laws are unified, they can easily influence and hold each other back..."

Fang Xing sighed.

He had achieved the Black Hole Level, with his Primordial Spirit and Physique having fused into one, indistinguishable. He wasn’t sure whether it was a good thing or not.

But undoubtedly, with his Black Dragon body, he could only follow Dao principles related to time, ideally the Space-Time Dao.

Exchanging the ’Panwu Dao Scripture’ was primarily to prepare for his true self.

"’Panwu Dao Scripture’ starts with the ’True Self Principle’... As long as my true self advances to the Martial Arts Tenth Realm, I can certainly comprehend the True Self Principle... True Self Principle can lead to the ’True Illusion Dao’ and challenge the Creator Dao of the Main Universe, or it can follow the ’Panwu Dao’..."

"The Immortal Avatar’s Primordial Spirit, if refined, can definitely comprehend the ’Immortal Dao’..."

Fang Xing silently calculated, still feeling some doubts.

Challenging the Dao doesn’t mean he could avoid it by giving up the True Illusion Dao.

As his cultivation reached greater heights, his understanding deepened.

His true self was after all a creature within the Creator Universe, inherently connected.

The creator sought to prove the ’True Illusion Dao,’ and he was a part of ’Truth,’ making it hard to escape.

"Fortunately, though the creator is strong, he currently seems to be just at the peak of a Heavenly Immortal..."

Fang Xing exhaled, smiling wryly: "But if I return without a Black Hole Physique or an Emperor Weapon... my strength might not even match a beginner Primordial Spirit Dominator..."

"Unless... I advance in the Fusion of Space-Time Law, both Dao principles reaching the fifth level, even achieving fifth-level Grandmaster perfection..."

"Though I can’t take my Physique, I can bring my understanding... Then, relying on the Space-Time Dao, I might have the power to fight as a Primordial Spirit Dominator on the Path of Law."

Fang Xing focused, continuing to comprehend the ’Panwu Dao Scripture,’ which was a legacy from an Eternal Realm great ability, containing many secret techniques and Divine Skills... Perfectly suited for him now, with wonders to defeat the strong as the weak.

"No matter what, I should strive to quickly advance to a Heavenly Demon... If I can take the complete comprehension of a Dao principle, this world would profit greatly..."

"It might not be so pessimistic. My Black Dragon body can still live for more than nine thousand years... By then, I may have reached the Chaos Realm... and then I could overturn the creator!"

...

Qingmu Realm.

Floating Li Continent.

On a green ancient castle, Huo Lingzi stood on duty in his armor.

Since failing the core assessment, he had stepped down as a core member and became an official member.

Struggling for a few more years and recognizing reality, he had reluctantly broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

But cultivation in the Primordial Spirit Realm was even more arduous. To obtain more Primordial Spirit Liquid, he had to take on more dangerous missions.

For example... guarding Boundaryless Mountain’s camp in Qingmu Realm.

This war fortress was a giant War Magic Weapon; its strength increased with the number of Primordial Spirit cultivators stationed.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, Huo Lingzi received an alert. He immediately raised his hand, and a flame shot into the sky, exploding with a bang.

"It’s the Primordial Spirit Dominator from Wahuang Palace—Mountain Master Lie Feng!"

"To seize a ’Three Green Stone Heart,’ he destroyed one of our Primordial Spirit squads and now he’s attacking..."

A group of Primordial Spirit cultivators flew out, converging their mana and injecting it into the green ancient castle.

The castle roared, and beams of light shot into the sky, transforming into a giant beast with green horns.

The beast roared at the sky. Its massive green horns aimed at a void, black patterns emerging on its surface.

Whoosh!

A black light streaked through the void, crashing into a fiery volcano.

Rumble!

The volcano erupted violently, perishing along with the black light.

Immediately...

Red glows gathered continuously, forming a scroll of fire, which fell into the hands of a spirited man with red eyebrows.

This man was the Primordial Spirit Dominator of Wahuang Palace—Mountain Master Lie Feng!

He chuckled lightly, his five fingers clenching into an upraised fist.

Countless Meteor Fire Rain appeared, chasing after several escaping Primordial Spirit cultivators.

The meteors pierced through countless defenses, brutally crushing the last Primordial Spirit cultivator from Boundaryless Mountain.

Thud!

The cultivator’s body collapsed lifelessly, falling before the green ancient castle’s gate.

"Mountain Master Lie Feng... You’ve gone too far."

From the green horned beast, a voice of grief and indignation emerged.

"Hmph! We cultivators respect strength. If you’re weak, don’t think about anything else, and don’t covet my treasures."

Mountain Master Lie Feng snorted coldly, his aura domineering and unmatched.

"Today, even if I can’t break your ’Qingming Castle,’ I’ll teach you a harsh lesson!"

This Mountain Master Lie Feng clearly harbored no goodwill toward the forces of Boundaryless Mountain.

After all, he had heard the news that the emperor’s son from Wahuang Palace had died at the hands of the Black Dragon from Boundaryless Mountain. Moreover, that Black Dragon emperor’s son had become a Primordial Spirit Dominator and would almost certainly come to Qingmu Realm.

He naturally needed to seize the opportunity to weaken Boundaryless Mountain’s forces before the Black Dragon emperor’s son arrived.

If he could eliminate this outpost, it would be ideal.

Rumble!

Mountain Master Lie Feng unfurled the scroll, revealing fiery volcanoes that crashed towards the green horned beast.

"Defend!"

Huo Lingzi felt the appalling destructive power within the volcanoes, causing his Primordial Spirit to tremble.

At this moment, he could only follow the general’s orders, injecting all his mana into Qingming Castle.

Layers of green armor emerged on the green horned beast, fending off the volcanic impact.

Bang!

As if the world had collided, the volcano shattered, causing Huo Lingzi’s face to turn pale while several of his comrades beside him spat blood.

"Attack!"

The green horned beast roared, its green horn sweeping. But Mountain Master Lie Feng easily dodged, moving to the beast’s side and striking again.

Roar!

Nine ferocious Fire Dragons appeared, crashing into the green horned beast.

Puff!

This time, even Huo Lingzi spat a mouthful of blood, clearly heavily injured: "Damn... Qingming Castle is great, but it’s too clumsy..."

Obviously, this was a common issue with all large war magic weapons.

Mountain Master Lie Feng certainly wasn’t foolish enough to clash head-on with the green horned beast. Instead, he constantly harassed it, occasionally attacking to deplete the defenders’ mana and stamina.

Huo Lingzi felt his mana depleting rapidly, his face turning even paler: "Is this... a Primordial Spirit Dominator?"

Though he’d long heard of the dominion of Primordial Spirit Dominators on such battlefields, witnessing it firsthand was a chilling experience!

A single opponent nearly forced Boundaryless Mountain to abandon their post.

If Qingming Castle were breached, mining for Primordial Crystals and Yuan Stones nearby might become impossible, causing huge disruptions!

Even if it wasn’t breached, repeated harassment would deter any squad from venturing out.

Even daily mining would become problematic.

"War Fortresses are indeed hard to destroy, haha... I shall return another day."

Mountain Master Lie Feng raised his hand again, countless meteor fire rains bombarding the green horned beast.

He laughed heartily, preparing to leave.

Despite being a Primordial Spirit Dominator, he wouldn’t risk his life for Wahuang Palace’s interests.

If he forced an attack on Qingming Castle, he might provoke a desperate counterattack.

Moreover... Other major forces’ Primordial Spirit Dominators were watching from the shadows; he couldn’t afford severe injuries.

Thus, a bit of harassment was sufficient.

After a few more assaults, Boundaryless Mountain would naturally have to retreat.

At this moment, the world changed!

A void shattered, and a silver-white Void Ship slowly emerged.

"How dare you attack our Boundaryless Mountain fortress?"

"Flying Scale Ocean! Attack!"

Jiao Chi stood at the forefront of the ship, roaring furiously.

Three thousand three hundred armored Primordial Spirit soldiers drew their weapons simultaneously. Blue lines emerged, transforming into a blue Flood Dragon, charging at Mountain Master Lie Feng with its claws bared!
