Chapter 1073 - Time

Chapter 1073: Time

Above Immortal is known as Grand Unity!

If a sect can continuously produce Grand Unity Almighties, that sect can be called a Holy Land!

By that standard, the sects in Gu, Mang, and the other dozen or so countries are only second-tier!

Fang Yuan knew that a so-called Grand Unity Immortal was likely someone who had completely comprehended a Great Dao and was on par with a Demon God!
This world was certainly not lacking such existences.
It might even have those at Dao Fruit around.

Good thing there aren’t any Grand Unity existences in the Sixteen Countries that include Gu and Mang. I can be carefree here.

Fang Yuan was very clear about the power of Demon God powerhouses. He would not foolishly challenge them when he was still weak.

I should also take control of some forces to investigate the Abominable Lord!

He had not forgotten this enemy, nor had he forgotten the bloody bet that they had staked everything on!

With the help of so many treasures, advancing my cultivation will be a breeze, but the key is still comprehending nomological laws!

The Torch Dragon clone entered a tea shop and sat down, contemplating in silence.
Regarding the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, thanks to his previous comprehension and the condensing of the Primordial Core, he had jumped straight to large success and was merely one step shy of complete comprehension.
However, the Nomological Laws of Time were somewhat troublesome. Despite having the assistance of a Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power, he had only reached basic mastery.

Even if my cultivation level reaches the Apotheosis realm, I must completely comprehend a set of nomological laws before I can transcend lightning tribulation and become Immortal… My goal is to completely comprehend the nomological laws of the Illusion Realm and time… As for the Nomological Laws of Saber, I’ll put them aside!

Fang Yuan was very ambitious, and he wanted to reach the top with the help of the lightning tribulation.
In fact, with his current complete comprehension of the Nomological Laws of Saber, he could disregard nomological law comprehension, advance directly to the peak of the Apotheosis realm, and then transcend the tribulation.
If he did this, with the Nomological Laws of Saber and a few tricks, his strength would not be bad among the Immortals.
However, this undoubtedly eliminated future possibilities in exchange for a fleeting period of ease. If he really went ahead with this, he would definitely be killed by the Abominable Lord in the future.
A tea shop in a cultivator city naturally sold spiritual tea.
The amber-colored tea arrived, carrying a quaint fragrance that made worries melt away.
Fang Yuan savored the lingering aftertaste and smiled.
I haven’t had such good tea in a long time…

He made his decision in his mind. Breaking through to the Immortal realm is definitely a no-go, but there aren’t any drawbacks to advancing to the Apotheosis realm.
Although Gold Ingot was very assured that I needed to activate the seventh star before I could fight Immortals, I was merely at Primordial Core at the time. If I’m at peak Apotheosis, the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique will certainly have a greater effect.
Besides, how could he know what I would become capable of back then?
Although the Nomological Laws of Time were extremely difficult to reach basic mastery in due to its subtle and mysterious nature, its power at basic mastery could not be underestimated.
Fang Yuan looked at the tea, and his spiritual will moved slightly.
Suddenly, the tea leaves started expanding quicker, and they blossomed like flowers.
Fortunately, he was the only one who saw this. Otherwise, even cultivators would be mind-blown and think it was a miracle.

Time ultimate technique—Accelerate!

The Torch Dragon’s Destiny Magical Power, Time Flying Blade, could shave off people’s lifespan by having a special form of time acceleration.
With that as a basis, Fang Yuan finally had basic mastery of time acceleration. However, he did not have any clues regarding time deceleration or other time techniques.

However, this kind of nomological law ultimate technique is quite useful when combined with other forms of attack!

This ultimate technique that he comprehended by himself had the merit of being versatile, flexible, and easy to use, even if it could not match up to a magical power currently. After all, his own creation did not have the unfamiliar feel of an Innate Magical Power.

Brother Situ?
Suddenly, he heard a surprised voice.
A fatty that looked like he weighed a hundred kilograms sat down opposite Fang Yuan.
I’d never thought that we’d meet again.


So it’s Brother Jin Buhuan. How is your business?

Fang Yuan smiled, gestured politely, and handed him a cup of tea.

Haha… Thanks to you, everything was smooth. I finally have a place in Qingfeng City now!
Jin Buhuan drank the drink with huge gulps, but even that did not conceal his happiness.
Oh right, I only know that your surname is Situ. What is your first name?


Haha… It’s Situ Zhaixing!
Fang Yuan used his previous false name.

Situ Zhaixing, good name!
Jin Buhuan sighed.
If only I…


Okay! Okay!
Fang Yuan’s lips curled slightly. He knew that Jin Buhuan had been upset about his name his entire life, but it was already recorded in the family genealogy book and would be difficult to change.
If Fang Yuan allowed him to continue, he would be sitting here for a very long time.
Where is Brother Jin headed next?


I finally have a shop in Qingfeng City. I will use it to the fullest…
Jin Buhuan said gleefully.
If you don’t mind, you can go to my place and stay there for a while!

…

Orders from the city masters!
Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside
Qingfeng City is under martial law with immediate effect!


This…
Jin Buhuan looked outside and saw a huge restriction array rising. He gasped.
What a huge array. Is there going to be a war between the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao again?

Fang Yuan also looked out the window and saw group after group of cultivators flying on their artifacts. They appeared to be trying to lock down the city.

Looks like you can’t leave even if you want to, Brother…
Jin Buhuan sighed.
If you need a guarantor, I can…


Thank you, but there’s no need!
Fang Yuan smiled, not taking the polite words to heart.
Cultivators were cunning and deceitful. After only a few meetings, their relationship was not that deep yet.
However, he was slightly puzzled.
Are the rulers of Qingfeng City that dumb? Are they really locking down the entire city because of my earlier action? Do they even have brains?
If they did not know about Situ Zhaixing, then it must have been at least an Immortal who could empty the treasure room. They had to be an array master as well.
How could five mere Nascent Soul cultivators dare to offend such an existence?
Perhaps I’m thinking too much. Maybe they’re not after me?
Fang Yuan decided to wait and see how things unfolded.
A group of people came down the stairs, and Jin Buhuan’s eyes brightened as he greeted them.
Uncle!

It seemed that he had not come here for leisure but specifically to wait for someone.

Hmm, Brother Zhou!
A fatty in the group smiled and introduced him to the others.
This is my unbecoming nephew I was talking about. I hope you can take care of him in the future!


Haha. Certainly!
This cultivator surnamed Zhou was at Golden Core and had an imposing manner about him.
Jin Buhuan’s uncle’s eyes flashed as he hurriedly instructed Jin Buhuan.
Your Uncle Zhou is the deputy head of the city guards. Hurry up and thank him!


Thank you, Uncle Zhou!
Jin Buhuan was overjoyed and immediately bowed. He knew that he was now part of a group, and there would be very few who would dare to offend him in Qingfeng City in the future.
He then introduced Fang Yuan to his uncle.
This is Brother Situ that I mentioned, Situ Zhaixing!


Oh? Nice to meet you, little brother! I am Jin Fu. Thank you for looking after Buhuan!

Jin Fu sized Fang Yuan up. Seeing Fang Yuan continuing to drink his tea casually and remain seated, he was slightly displeased and frowned.
He was someone respected in Qingfeng City, and he was already very polite to address Fang Yuan as little brother. However, this Situ Zhaixing was so calm. Looking at his clothes, it did not look like he was from a sect, and his aura was not particularly strong either.
He did not know that Fang Yuan was used to playing the pig to prey on tigers. With the exception of showing a bit of his Primordial Core aura in the Miscellaneous House, he always appeared as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators might be regarded as powerful in some small places, but they were nothing much in Qingfeng City.

You’re welcome!
Fang Yuan barely gestured with his hands as he looked outside the window.

You…
Before Jin Fu did anything, Brother Zhou beside him already started frowning.
He was above countless people and had grown used to others flattering him, so Fang Yuan’s actions made him rather disgruntled.
Of course, he was not a fool either. He looked on coldly and planned to have people investigate him afterward.
Suddenly, a spiritual will swept over, and a surprised voice sounded.
Here!

Numerous dao soldiers appeared and surrounded the floor. Shopkeeper Lao Shetou stepped forward and pointed at Fang Yuan.
It’s him!


You went to the Miscellaneous House earlier? And you tried to get information about the treasures in the treasure room?
One of the Golden Core cultivators came over.
Arrest him!


Guard Leader?
Brother Zhou went over and asked about the situation.

This person is a suspect of the theft at the Miscellaneous House. Be careful not to let him escape!
the city guard leader said with a serious expression.
However, he was thinking something else in his mind. The one who stole from the Miscellaneous House is obviously someone that even the city masters don’t dare to offend. But we city guards are obligated to round up suspects and find some scapegoats.
After all, someone had to be responsible for the theft at the Miscellaneous House.
Madam Luo alone was not nearly enough!
Itinerant cultivators with suspicious backgrounds and no backing became their targets.
Not to mention, Fang Yuan was the most suspicious of them all.

Understood!
Brother Zhou turned around, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
Will you surrender, or will I have to shatter your dantian?

He had already found Fang Yuan displeasing, so he grabbed this opportunity to use his official authority for private ends.

Uncle!
While Jin Buhuan looked anxious, he was held down by Jin Fu and could not do anything.

Hehe…
Fang Yuan looked at Lao Shetou, then at the city guard leader. He immediately had a grasp of their mindset and found the situation slightly hilarious. What is this? A lucky hit?
If these two knew that he was indeed the thief, they might not have dared to step up.

You…
The city guard frowned.
According to Lao Shetou, this person was merely a Golden Core cultivator. However, if he truly was an average Golden Core cultivator, how could he be so calm in this situation?
