Chapter 368: Chapter 163: Cleanup, Demonic Fetus

"A single technique to dominate the world!"

Fang Xing’s pupils constricted as he watched Yu Linglong.

Hong Miaojin’s high praise alone was enough to prove just how terrifying the technique was.

"It seems I misjudged this time," Hong Miaojin sighed softly.

Fang Xing said nothing, his gaze fixed on Yu Linglong in the distance as a spark of curiosity ignited within him.

’Such a powerful Divine Level Technique... I wonder what it would become after being Enhanced?’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

A Divine Level Technique that could surpass those of the Supreme Dao Sect, one capable of dominating the world. He feared that against such a terrifying technique, the outcome would be uncertain even if their Cultivation levels were identical.

He wasn’t sure about the future, but that was certainly true for now.

He also practiced a Divine Level Technique, but his current one focused primarily on the Divine Soul.

...

With the final battle concluded, the Martial Dao tournament came to a close.

The individual rewards were distributed and the final rankings were announced.

Fang Xing and Hong Miaojin had already returned to Celestial Star Manor.

With the tournament over, they would rest for a day before preparing for their return journey.

Inside his room, Fang Xing sat with his eyes tightly shut, processing the memories of the battles he had witnessed.

It took him the entire night to fully process these memories, enriching his own experience.

His Comprehension allowed him to grasp the profound secrets within those fights, pushing his own strength to a new level.

The most crucial takeaway was learning how to fuse one’s intent to unleash even greater power.

This wasn’t a specific type of intent, but an all-encompassing one.

To be precise, it was Mental Will!

Fusing Mental Will could elevate the power of one’s Martial Arts to an entirely new level.

Fang Xing had already gained a preliminary understanding of this concept before.

The Mental Fist Intent of his Prison-Suppressing Divine Fist and Red Fire Divine Skill could be fused as one.

Before, he only possessed the form; now, he was beginning to grasp the true intent.

The Realm of Manifestation!

To fuse one’s Mental Will, achieve perfect unity with one’s body, and unleash an ultimate strike.

This step would take time.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

Now that he had this foundational understanding, his Mental Will, combined with his Divine Soul, would grow to an astonishing level with time.

Opening his eyes, Fang Xing rose and walked out of his room.

Gazing at the ocean and the blue sky, he reflected that aside from being a relaxing change of pace, the trip had yielded substantial rewards.

All of this would have a great impact on his future.

Although he couldn’t fully integrate everything right away, he could make gradual progress.

After their last breakfast at Celestial Star Manor, Fang Xing and Hong Miaojin began their journey home.

Before leaving, they met with Crown Prince Chu to pay their respects.

After paying their respects, Hong Miaojin summoned a Spirit Boat, and it soared into the sky.

Seated cross-legged on the Spirit Boat, Fang Xing looked back at Celestial Star Island.

He had no idea when he might return.

For now, he was more concerned with the situation in the Southern Border.

Or more precisely, the situation in Qing Province.

He was, after all, responsible for the province.

Now that this relaxing trip was over, it was time to return and begin the next phase of his plans.

His Enhancement Points were almost completely depleted.

While he did accumulate some each day, the amount was just a drop in the bucket for his needs.

...

「Several days passed in a flash.」

Outside Qing Province City, Southern Border.

A Spirit Boat descended from the sky.

Gazing at the nearby Qing Province City, Fang Xing let out a sigh.

’It’s always more comfortable in a familiar place.’

After putting away the Spirit Boat, Hong Miaojin took the lead and strode toward Qing Province City.

Upon returning to the Observatory, Hong Miaojin stopped and turned to Fang Xing.

"We’ll set the plan in motion tomorrow. You should go back and rest for today."

"Alright." Fang Xing nodded, not objecting.

He couldn’t wait to get started.

To improve, he needed more Enhancement Points.

This wasn’t just a small number; he needed a massive amount.

After parting ways with Hong Miaojin, Fang Xing returned to his Demon Suppression Mansion.

「Demon Suppression Mansion, Main Hall」

Fang Xing took a sip of hot tea and looked at Hong Luan, who stood beside him. "Has anything been going on lately?"

Hong Luan shook her head. "My Lord, everything is as usual. Nothing has happened."

"Nothing from the Marshals?"

Fang Xing asked, taking another sip of tea.

Hong Luan shook her head. "My Lord, everything has been quiet. The four Marshals have been staying at the Observatory for the past several days."

A glint flickered in Fang Xing’s eyes as his fingers tapped lightly on the table.

’So quiet. This must be the calm before the storm.’

"Alright, you’re dismissed," Fang Xing said softly.

Hong Luan nodded and turned to leave.

After watching Hong Luan’s departing figure, Fang Xing finished his tea, then rose and left the hall.

He returned to his bedroom.

With a thought from Fang Xing, a brilliant light flashed, and the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror appeared before him.

Gazing at the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror before him, Fang Xing calmed his mind to sense it. He had been continuously nurturing it ever since its initial Refinement.

By now, their connection had deepened considerably.

However, he was still unable to activate any of the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror’s true power.

The cost was simply too great; even his Tenth Grade Gang Qi was insufficient to sustain it.

’I’ll need to improve some more before I can unleash even a fraction of the Treasure Mirror’s power.’

Fang Xing thought to himself as he stared at the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror.

The Mountain and River Treasure Mirror was for more than just storing items.

It contained a world of mountains and rivers. When activated, it could project the power of that world, forming a divine light to fuel a terrifyingly powerful strike.

However, his current Power was insufficient. At best, he could only unleash one-tenth of the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure’s might.

Moreover, the cost was immense; a single use would drain eighty percent of his Power.

He wouldn’t even be able to use it a second time.

With such a massive cost for its power, it was less practical than the Martial Arts he was currently practicing.
