Carefree Path of Dreams

:Chapter 1047 Illusion Realm

“Ten Thousand Beast Banner? Yes, the totems in it should be enough!” Gold Ingot replied happily before worrying again immediately. “However, if you consume the totems this way, I fear the Ten Thousand Beast Banner’s power will plummet!”

“The banner wasn’t at large success anyway. What’s the problem if it loses a few more dozens of totems? I’ll just make it up in the future.” Fang Yuan smiled. “Not to mention, it’s worth it even if I have to destroy this banner to enhance my totem!”

His expression turned serious. “Next, I will cultivate in seclusion for a while to put all my power into birthing this new totem. I’ll leave everything outside to you.”

“Young Master, please be assured. As long as it isn’t an Immortal, the Pantheon Palace’s restriction is absolutely foolproof!” Gold Ingot guaranteed.

Looking at Fang Yuan entering the quiet room, it muttered, “Young Master’s comprehension is exceptional. If he obtains a high-grade totem, his future achievements will certainly be limitless… There is hope for Master’s revenge!”

…

Months flew past quietly.

Fang Yuan activated his Dharmic formulation in the quiet room. The spirit essences of mutated beasts appeared from the Ten Thousand Beast Banner.

A gold thread connected them to the black cocoon behind him, as though transporting something.

“It’s been three months!” His eyes flashed. “In the past three months, not only did I find suitable totems from the Ten Thousand Beast Banner to devour and supplement the evolution of my clam totem, but I also used the enhancement method from the Pantheon Enhancement Technique to devour a huge amount of the natural sources of the spirit essences to help the evolution of my totem. It will be a peerless totem if I succeed!”

It was a very luxurious approach even for the Pantheon Enhancement Technique.

However, Fang Yuan had the Ten Thousand Beast Banner, which was equivalent to Great Fey Pengze’s hundreds of years of accumulation and why he was confident.

Even the core disciples of the Holy Mountain might not be able to carry out this feat.

Roar Roar!

At that moment, a crisp sound came from the black cocoon, and a large number of golden threads disconnected.

“Oh? Has it absorbed to the limit?”

Fang Yuan put away the Ten Thousand Beast Banner and started to support the final stages of the incubation period of the totem.

Another dozen days passed.

Crack!

A crack suddenly appeared on the black cocoon, and fissures spread throughout it.

Rumble!

The sound of thunder seemed to be coming from outside.

The black cocoon exploded, and a blue dragon appeared from the fog.

It could suddenly be big or small, changing unpredictable, and had an extremely mysterious aura.

“A dragon can change size and is able to soar or hide; when it is big, it is able to swallow clouds and blow out fog; when it is small, it is able to stay hidden; it is able to soar among the cosmos and hide within the great waves…” Fang Yuan could not help reciting. “However, this isn’t the Azure Dragon. Compared to the grandeur of the Azure Dragon, it has a more ethereal feel. This is the Clam Dragon!”

A true dragon was definitely a first-grade totem.

Fang Yuan had the feeling that his Clam Dragon was also a first-grade totem!

It might even be higher than first grade by half a grade! After all, it had absorbed the natural source of many totems and had a very good foundation.

“First-grade totem, Clam Dragon!”

Fang Yuan clenched his fist, and a ray of excitement appeared in his eyes. “Above the third grade, a totem would produce the most suitable magical power for itself! What is my Clam Dragon’s magical power?”

He immersed his mind within the totem and sensed the message. “Innate Magical Power—Illusion Realm?!”

“The Illusion Realm can be big or small. A big one is like an enhanced version of Mirage. A small one can become like a line and directly kill the soul.”

In summary, it was the strongest single-target attack on a soul and a large-scale illusion domain!

“Not only that, the nomological laws of the Illusion Realm are actually… the Illusion Realm’s Nomological Laws of Space!”

The Space Great Dao was something that even countless Demon Gods could not hope to attain.

Although nomological laws were a tier lower than Great Daos, Fang Yuan, who had crossed through many different worlds, had yet to hear of any Demon God who comprehended the Illusion Realm’s Nomological Laws of Space other than the Abominable Lord.

Yet this was his Clam Dragon’s Innate Magical Power. He was beside himself with joy!

“The complete Nomological Laws of Space is probably comparable to the might of a Great Dao. If I can sublimate it into the Void Great Dao[1] , it will definitely be helpful even in the Dao Fruit realm!”

Fang Yuan laughed merrily. “This was truly a lucky chance. The cultivation methods of the barbarians aren’t bad!”

Barbarians did not have good comprehension, but they could perceive nomological laws through constant use of magical powers.

The Illusion Realm’s nomological laws were related to space. Other barbarians would not know how to use it even if they had obtained it.

Even with Fang Yuan’s aptitude and comprehension, he did not have full confidence.

Barbarians, however, had long experienced this.

Difficulty comprehending nomological laws? Use magical powers more often! If they still could not comprehend them? Then condense the Destiny Primordial Core! Fusing the magical power and Primordial Core into one!

“Continuously using magical powers is like a teacher that constantly demonstrates the nomological laws. The Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power is like putting yourself in the shoes of the teacher and personally experiencing the mysteries of the nomological laws. There would be no more hope at all if you still couldn’t comprehend the complete nomological laws after combining these two methods.”

Fang Yuan’s eyes sparkled. “If I cultivate this way, I’ll certainly be able to comprehend the full nomological laws of the Illusion Realm and finally the Void Great Dao!”

He was a genius at comprehension, which was why comprehending Saber Realm in the Materialization realm was not even a challenge to him.

However, the nomological laws of space and time were some of the most abstruse and profound nomological laws of all.

Fang Yuan estimated that his own comprehension in this regard would probably be similar to that of ordinary barbarians.

The comprehension route of ordinary barbarians was basic mastery of nomological laws at the Materialization realm, small success in nomological laws at the Primordial Core realm, and complete comprehension in a set of nomological laws at the peak of the Apotheosis realm!

“It will be my complete victory if I can comprehend the entire nomological laws of the Illusion Realm at the Apotheosis realm!

“And this is me. Any other barbarian probably wouldn’t even be able to reach basic mastery when they’re at the Apotheosis realm…”

…

A slight smile played on Fang Yuan’s lips as he opened the door to a secret room with some pity.

“The rules of this universe determined that it’s relatively easy to comprehend the Nomological Laws of Space-Time. It’s really a great place for a Demon God to cultivate their Dao path… If I were Xu Lie, I would have definitely been able to thoroughly comprehend the Nomological Laws of Life-and-Death through the Nirvana magical power. These are also the nomological laws of a Great Dao! It could have elevated to the Life-and-Death Great Dao! It would’ve basically made me immortal! Too bad, I have no chance in that.”

There might be a totem with the Nirvana magical power the Barbarian Ancestral Court, and the Clam Dragon totem was also powerful enough to carry such peerless magical powers.

Unfortunately… the attributes clashed! The success rate of inscribing was almost negligible. Moreover, even if he were to succeed, it would be very difficult for Fang Yuan to make progress in the future.

The most suitable for the Nirvana magical power was only the Phoenix!

“I can probably find one or two magical powers relating to time to inscribe onto my Clam Dragon that can bring me to basic mastery of the Nomological Laws of Time?” Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, pondering. “However, there is only one slot for the Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power! The Nomological Laws of Time and Space are both very difficult. I don’t have the confidence to be able to completely comprehend them without the aid of Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power.”

“Unless… clone?” His eyes lit up. “If my clone uses another totem, he will be able to inscribe time-type peerless magical powers and then condense the Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power…”

“Congratulations to Young Master for reaching large success with your great power!” Gold Ingot greeted him with the puppet.

For some reason, Fang Yuan felt that it had humbled down significantly.

“Hmm, Gold Ingot, do you know where I can find clone-type magical powers?” Fang Yuan asked directly.

“Clone magical powers?”

“That is to divide into two independent bodies and cultivate separately!”

“This is… a supreme divine power to preserve life!” Gold Ingot exclaimed. “I have never seen one before even after following Master for so many years!”

Having two independent bodies meant you had one more life!

This was absolutely more valuable to cultivators than any treasure.

However, Fang Yuan had not thought that even the peak Immortal Hong Chen had never seen it even once!

“However… I heard Master say before that cultivation with clones is difficult. Both bodies must reach peak Apotheosis to be able to transcend the tribulation together. The power of the lightning tribulation they face will double as well. Of course, there is no need to iterate the benefits…”

Gold Ingot asked doubtfully. “Does Master want to cultivate a clone technique?”

“Of course I want to, but it’s not like I’ll be able to get one just because I want it. Do you have any solutions? There should be a source if Immortal Hong Chen heard about it before.” Fang Yuan did not want to let the chance slip by.

The temptation was too huge. It was not just an extra life but also a supreme Great Dao!

“Hmm. I gave it some thought, and I think there are a few ways to go about it…” Gold Ingot tilted its head. “First is an existence beyond the Immortal realm. Perhaps they have such a great divine power!”

“I can’t even meet Immortals, let alone an existence beyond Immortals. Moreover, even if I did meet them, what do I have to exchange with? Aren’t you afraid of them finding out the secret of the Pantheon Palace and killing me? No way!” Fang Yuan shook his head.

“The second way is the one with the greatest possibility!” Gold Ingot said. “I heard from Master that there are countless mortals and cultivation sects beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and within these sects, there are Holy Lands. There might be a clone mystic technique in those places!”

“This is a possible route. I wonder if they accept barbarian disciples?” Fang Yuan’s eyes glimmered.

“Impossible!” Gold Ingot shook its head. “Those sects believe that those who are not of the same race have different intentions. Their cultivation method is also different from the barbarians. It seems like the Primordial Core realm isn’t the Primordial Core but called the Golden Core! They converge to the same path after transcending the tribulation. The method I’m referring to is to catch the true disciples cultivating this technique and grill them through torture.”

“Disciples cultivating clone mystic techniques must be the most talented core disciples. Let’s put aside whether or not I can take them down. Even if I could, wouldn’t I be making deadly enemies with a cultivation Holy Land?” Fang Yuan shook his head. “Anything else?”

“The last is to leave it to fate. You might get lucky and encounter it!” Gold Ingot swayed its head. “Young Master obviously has great providence to be able to obtain three pages from the Pantheon Catalog. Your fortune is strong, so there still might be hope!”
