Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
At the peak of a snowy mountain, Fang Xingjian's body was floating in midair, and the surrounding magnetic fields kept on changing intensely, releasing beams of colorful light. They were like layers of a rainbow encompassing Fang Xingjian's body.
At this moment, he seemed to have become a world, releasing tremendous magnetic fields that conformed with the geomagnetic field in Miracle World. The interior of his body was going through a tremendous change.
Each physical particle was closely connected with ether particles, so his stomach, lungs, kidneys, and other organs continued to deteriorate and disappear. Fang Xingjian no longer had any need for these retrogressive ether organs.
Even his heart had been transformed into something like an energy furnace and was moved to the center of his body.
The thing that flowed through his blood vessels was no longer blood but a type of translucent fluid which contained energy that was several tens of thousand stronger than the energy found in blood.
Fang Xingjian's body was progressing to an inhuman state.
Three days later, Fang Xingjian appeared completely white and gave off a glossy glaze. Majority of the internal organs in his body were gone, leaving only countless blood vessels and nerves that continuously transmitted energy and electronic signals.
His physical body was closely merged with ether particles, and there were no longer any vital points on his body. It made no difference regardless of which part of his body was attacked or cut off; his body's structure was now practically made of the same physical substance throughout.
The benefit of this was that he would be able to better absorb energy from ether particles. Additionally, with the reinforcement from his martial will, his physical body would be able to perfectly unleash the explosive power of his martial will.
Everything was happening too quickly. Something that an ordinary genius would need to take a few months or even a few years to accomplish took Fang Xingjian only a few days' time.
After completing the tempering of his physical body, Fang Xingjian looked up into the sky.
His figure flickered slightly, then he was already dashing up several tens of lis into the sky and charging toward the Nine-Tiered Heavens in the outer space. He was going to strive for the second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens.
The second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens nurtured the profoundness behind the merging of the physical body and the martial will. It required the cultivator to dash in with their own physical body.
Fang Xingjian plunged in directly and felt violent power smashing toward him like water waves.
The second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens was different from the first tier, which involved massacres to increase the power of one's martial will. This time around, the cultivator needed to be tested on the power of their martial will and body, in order to comprehend the secret connection between the two.
The instant Fang Xingjian entered the second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens, he sensed an endless power ramming toward him. It was the power that would manifest when the entire world dissipated into outer space. Even Fang Xingjian was unable to go up against it.
He paused slightly, and the Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique condensed from his martial will came charging out from his body.
His physical body and will had been separated.
At the next moment, he saw that his body was still situated in void space while his consciousness was being tugged at by the power of the world. The light and shadows in his surroundings changed rapidly, and each light spot brought about a long line behind it. His will had already disappeared from his line of sight.
By the time Fang Xingjian regained his consciousness, he felt that his clothes had just been taken off. Simultaneously, he realized that a beautiful young lady was lying on his body. Her face was stained with tears, and her eyes were closed tightly. It was as if she was in pain and yet also unconscious.
'Hmmm?'
Fang Xingjian was stunned for three seconds. It was only after the young lady on the bed let out a moan that he stood up abruptly. With a swing of his hand, a bathrobe in the distance flew over and covered up his body.
'What kind of joke is this?'
The young lady was still unconscious. He closed his eyes and sent his martial will sweeping out to scan the situation within a radius of several kilometers.
'How did things turn out like this?
'The second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens should be to enter an eternal dream and suffer from the pain of transmigration. One would need to rely on the achievement of a perfection connection between the will and the body amidst the endless cycles of transmigration in order to wake up. Only then would one be deemed to have passed the trial.
'The Myriad Stars Palace's Astral Ancestor had been swept off by the endless cycles of transmigration, causing his memories and his mind to enter a state of chaos.
'However, this feeling seems to be too realistic.'
Fang Xingjian blinked and looked at his hand.
Right now, his current body belonged to a pale-faced, thin, feeble young man, who seemed to have indulged too much in carnal desires. There was no way that it could be compared to his own body which he previously had.
However, the his sight, hearing, and touch felt extremely clear. This did not seem like a dream at all.
Moreover, after scanning the area within several kilometers with his martial will, he found that his current location was clearly a modern city.
'Hang on a minute. The cycle of transmigration at the second tier of the Nine-Tiered Heavens is just a recount of the people from the past.'
Fang Xingjian moved his finger, and the television in the distance was switched on. There were many news pieces being reported.
"Trump is going to challenge the ' One-China' policy 1 ? He is criticized for being shallow...
"After conducting investigations, South Korean prosecutors announce that Park Geun-hye is once again charged...
"Japan is raising a strict dispute toward China with regard to the interference bombs..."
'A country I don't know, and people I don't know.' Fang Xingjian stroked his chin as he continued to assess the current situation. 'However, it's still very similar to Earth's modern civilization. What's worse is that there are no signs of this being a dream.
'Could it be that this isn't a dream? Could it be that I've arrived on another planet or a parallel universe?'
Fang Xingjian continued to recall the situation where his will had been tugged. It felt as if his will had been flying at a speed that surpassed light speed.
'Was my will shot out? After that, I have to return by relying on my senses?
'If that's the case...'
Fang Xingjian frowned as he sensed the fatigue of his body. The feeble feeling coming from his lower body, the swelling pain from his stomach, the weakness transmission from his heart, and the saturation of the oxygen level in his brain... He had left all of these negative senses far away previously and had not expected to feel them yet again.
'This body is too weak.' Fang Xingjian frowned and clenched his hand into a fist. This body was instantly shattered into dust, then the countless fragments continued to spin into a vortex.
Then all kinds of food turners, tables and chairs, as well as electronic devices, were pulled into the vortex. Streams of electricity flashed, and Fang Xingjian had already reassembled his body to how it had originally been.
Sensing no fatigue, no feebleness, and an extremely clear mind in this new body, Fang Xingjian clenched his fist, feeling much better.
'This is probably at about the level of one who had just become a second transition Knight and isn't of much use. But the comfort level is much higher compared to the body before.
'Now, I'll have to think of ways to rely on the senses of my physical body and martial will to return.
'How can I go about doing it?'
However, at that moment, a piercing scream rang out. That beautiful young lady, who had fallen unconsciousness, had woken up at some point. She seemed to have seen the scene of Fang Xingjian reassembling his physical body and screamed out loud, fainting once again.
