The Immortality Saint was surprised after hearing Fang Xingjian's words.
Over the past half a year, Fang Xingjian was not the only one who had been improving. The Immortality Saint had also been training in seclusion, sorting out the things he had learned in the past. After all, the Church of Universal Truth was a massive organization with many legacies. There were too many things that were suitable for him to cultivate and he was also very clear about his path after reaching tier six of the Divine level. Additionally, there was a Miracle World's version of the many knowledge concerning the microscopic world, so he was progressing almost constantly.
However, after half a year passed, he had merely digested the powers and knowledge he had previously obtained from attaining breakthroughs in the Divine level. Although he had been getting stronger, for him to be able to attain a breakthrough on the foundation of his previous progress was...
He looked at Fang Xingjian and nodded, saying, "It's fine if you're confident. If you really can attain a breakthrough, there will be many benefits to our plans this time around." With that, his body slowly shattered and he disappeared.
"Then during this period of time, I'll wait for you to come out from your seclusion."
After deciding on their future plans with the Immortality Saint, Fang Xingjian left the Sacred White Crevice with a flash, darting out of the atmospheric layer.
His plan to go all out in his seclusion was not just to devote all his efforts onto the Instant Sword and Heart Sword Path. Fang Xingjian also planned on calling back all of his powers and fully focusing on attaining a breakthrough.
The path of martial arts had always been to advance valiantly. Therefore, Fang Xingjian naturally also planned on giving it his all to enter seclusion and attain a breakthrough.
Moreover, he had already decided on where he would do it. The place was at the center of the solar system, where 99% of his powers were currently gathered—the Sun's core.
One reason was because the Sun contained a massive amount of energy supply which he could draw upon at any time. Another reason was the massive size of the star.
The Sun's size was over 100,000 times bigger than that of Earth's. What kind of concept was that? Even if Fang Xingjian were to search for a target on 100,000 Earths, he would still have to take many years.
Moreover, the electromagnetic waves and heat energy within the sun were extremely chaotic. This would make searching for one's target even more difficult.
No matter how strong the other party was, for them to search for Fang Xingjian who had entered seclusion in the Sun—to search for a matter that was less than one cubic meter in such a location—was like trying to look for a needle in the ocean. It was almost impossible.
With that, regardless of what the other party's plan was, they would need to wait until Fang Xingjian came out from his seclusion before they could make a move. This would allow Fang Xingjian to be fully prepared.
Eight minutes later, Fang Xingjian arrived at the Sun's interior. All of his powers and will instantly merged into one. He could sense waves of power seething in his body, like the roaring of mountains and rivers, or the explosion of stars.
After cultivating for over half a year and using the Thunder-Inducing Technique to incessantly draw the Sun's heat energy to raise his martial will, Fang Xingjian's martial will had increased from 5,500 points to 8,000 points. The increase far surpassed the level that ordinary tier five Divine level experts could reach.
After his martial will reached 8,000 points, he was only able to get an increase of one point almost every ten or more days. Moreover, the speed was getting increasingly slower. Clearly, it had reached a bottleneck.
However, a martial will of 8,000 points was terrifying enough. With a flip of one's hand, it was an easy feat to topple mountains and overturn seas. He could even push the earth's crust and change the direction of the geographical positions.
However, no matter how strong he was, if his realm was not high enough, there would still be a limit to the increase of his battle prowess. He would still be unable to win against tier six or seven Divine level experts. Therefore, Fang Xingjian wanted to obtain a further breakthrough on the Instant Sword and bring new developments to the Celestial Eradication Sword Technique.
Amidst the endless stretch of scorching flames, Fang Xingjian sat down cross-legged. Countless numbers, formulas, and pieces of information kept flashing out in his mind.
At the next moment, a black dot appeared before him. As the small black dot moved around, the space in the surroundings were compressed. Light rays and flames were gradually distorted, and an incorporeal longsword was formed.
'The Infiltrating Void Sword uses the earth's astral forces as its foundation.'
At the next second, streams of electricity flashed by, and the waves of fire within a range of 1,000 lis were split opened by an invisible force like a sharp sword had swept past them.
'The All-Conquering Sword pushes the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces to circulate. There is nothing it cannot cut and nothing that it cannot slash through.'
After one breath, the sea of flames closed up once again. A myriad of sword light suddenly burst out from Fang Xingjian's body. It was as if a sun had risen up as extremely piercing light caused even the surrounding flames on the Sun to appear dark.
Then at the next moment, the light and shadow switched. One could almost see countless swordsmen performing sword arts amidst the sea of flames in the Sun, and each of their moves could tear apart the world. It was as if there really were countless Divine level experts engaged in a great war.
'The Light Pursuit Sword integrated the profoundness of the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces, the earth's astral forces, as well as the nuclear forces that create life. Not only can it kill enemies with sword light, but it can also control electric signals, alter the five senses, and form illusory arts.'
At the next moment, a myriad of sword light disappeared and the sea of flames seemed to return to calmness.
However, the calmness did not continue for long. Abruptly, streams of black sword marks appeared from void space, slicing through flames, heat energy, and light rays. It was as if a corner of space had disappeared.
'The Instant Sword needs to be controlled by the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces, the earth's astral forces, the nuclear forces, and the forces that cause all life in the world to deteriorate.
'My past self was somewhat lacking. But now, with the knowledge obtained from the Book of Wisdom as well as having a martial will of 8,000 points, I can attempt to attain a breakthrough.'
At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian's gaze narrowed. In that instant, all the flames within a range of 100 lis came to a standstill. It was as if they had been frozen into ice sculptures and did not move at all.
'A little bit more...
'Just a little bit more...'
...
An hour after Fang Xingjian left Earth to comprehend the Instant Sword in the Sun...
Ulpian, who was compressing space continuously while moving at superluminal speed, had already arrived on Earth.
Standing outside the atmospheric layer and looking down on this blue planet, a hint of greed flashed in Ulpian's eyes.
This was Earth—his hometown and the place of origin from where he had been away for a very long time.
With a slight thought, an extremely powerful electromagnetic force burst out from his mind, sweeping across the entire Earth at light speed.
Of course, it was impossible for him to process all the particulars of Earth, down to its atomic information, with a single thought. However, he could sense that many battles were erupting.
Sensing the chaos on Earth, Ulpian's countenance sank.
"Where is Fang Xingjian?" He asked outright. Ulpian had always been a straightforward person. After arriving on Earth, he planned on going straight to the point to solve the problem.
Edward said, "He should still be in the Sacred White Crevice. The White Army's Sacred White Crevice is probably near the mountain pass that's in the western part of the Kunlun Mountains."
Ulpian nodded. At the next moment, everyone turned into a meteor and then arrived in the sky above the Kunlun Mountains.
