In the training ground, Fang You maintained a sage-like expression, looking at the meteor streaks of destiny that tore across the sky.
Golden meteor streaks.
Crimson meteor streaks.
He was quite looking forward to it.
Soon, golden light clusters began to take on concrete forms.
A card, a seed, a material of no consequence.
Among the crimson meteor streaks, materials also appeared. This could be considered 'crimson common,' a bit unlucky. However, over the long years, he had drawn many crimson common items, and his state of mind, while not entirely calm, had not stirred much.
Wasn't it just a pity pity pull? He was already accustomed to it!
Within the crimson light clusters, several valuable treasures appeared. There was the Infinity Crate, which he was very familiar with, and World Mystic Stones. The former was needed in many places, including the Oasis, World Fortress, top-tier cultivation facilities, and so on. The mere few Infinity Crates within the organization were far from sufficient to meet the immense energy demands.
Well, he, Mentor Fang, hoped to obtain energy for free, with zero energy consumption.
The latter, he directly fed to the Blue Star world.
The world consciousness seemed to become more intelligent.
The Blue Star world continued to expand, its expansion speed even faster than the speed at which exploration teams opened up and built new continents.
More precious than World Mystic Stones were two new Law Stele.
"Law Stele · Body (Crimson)"
"Law Stele · Time (Crimson)"
The word 'Body' encompassed aspects like physique, body strength, defense, endurance, and many others. The law's applicability was extremely broad.
Of course, the strongest candidates to comprehend this stele were those who cultivated their physical bodies.
A brute like Xing Jinglei might comprehend laws such as 'Golden Body,' 'Giant,' 'Self-Healing,' and so on.
Fang You was not very interested in this stele; he had no interest in being beaten.
As for the Time Stele...
"Time is the most noble fundamental attribute."
"Although the path of time is the most difficult to enter, once one has entered, it will definitely bring immense improvement."
Moreover, to ascend to the highest position and confront the unspeakable evil gods, the power of time and space was absolutely unavoidable.
This stele arrived at just the right time.
Fang You transported the steles to the Hearthfire Secret Realm and chose an empty spot to place them.
Instantly, the two steles were firmly embedded in the plaza paved with white stone slabs, and a profound rhythm emanated from them.
This startled some Hearthfire Mythics in the distance who had not yet entered a state of enlightenment.
"Mentor has brought new treasures again!"
"Damn it, I still haven't managed to get into one law, I'm ashamed!"
Fang You casually cast his gaze not far away.
In front of the Law Stele, prayer mats were arranged in circles. On some mats, Hearthfire Mythics were seated in meditation, eyes closed, comprehending the rhyming laws emanating from the steles.
The number of Mythics around the steles varied, from a dozen to a hundred.
The Law Stele of Darkness, for example, had few comprehending it, and the recently placed Time Stele was likely similar.
Laws like 'God,' which were universally popular, had very many comprehending them. Even if they couldn't comprehend the law, they could slowly improve their mental energy.
The number of comprehenders around the God Law Stele was so crowded.
The steles could not accommodate an infinite number of people.
The inner circles had clearer rhyming laws, and comprehension was naturally more effective.
Therefore, Mentor Fang designed a contribution point system for comprehension—the inner circles cost more. Only by paying the price of contribution points would the Mythics cherish the opportunity to comprehend more. Mentor Fang had gone to great lengths for his Mythics to grow quickly.
Among them, the Sword and Strength Law Stele had already vanished.
They were not stolen, of course.
Instead, powerful figures within the organization had spent a large amount of contribution points to temporarily take the steles away to comprehend them in the Time Secret Realm.
This had significant restrictions and required scheduling.
There were still not enough Law Stele.
In front of the Time Law Stele, Mentor Fang glanced at the legendary items again and let out a "Hmm?"
"They're out!"
"The value of these two items is not much less than that of Divine-Demonic grade treasures!"
They were two golden-grade skill books.
He had drawn green, blue, and purple skill books before, but he had never drawn a golden-grade one.
"Beyond the Shore of Void (Gold)"
"Description: Space-type skill, can alter the distance difference between two points, shortening or extending it."
--
"Finger of God (Gold)"
"Description: Destiny-type skill, can create a weakness on an enemy and break it."
These two skills were more than just legendary!
The former was a precious space-type skill that could be developed into various wondrous uses like 'shrinking the ground to an inch.'
The latter was an unparalleled destiny-type skill that, when combined with powerful offensive skills, could even create opportunities for a one-hit kill against strong enemies.
It was especially suitable for Mentor Fang himself.
Excellent, excellent!
And that was not all...
"The former can not only be learned but also serve as a valuable high-level material, to be integrated into existing three-star legendary skills."
"Skills like 'Gate of Infinity' and 'Virtual-Real Shuttle' require this precious material."
"The latter, although not suitable as a material, can serve as the main material to further fuse skills and raise their rank! It's just that the materials suitable for 'Finger of God' are a bit difficult to find."
"Furthermore, I haven't drawn a crimson-grade skill seed yet, which cannot bear golden skills. To popularize these two skills, I can only..."
He could only rely on the Legacy Land.
As a legendary building, the Legacy Land could barely support legendary skills, but inscription and learning were equally difficult. High-level skills had their high-level disadvantages. If these two skills could be fused from epic-grade, it would be much simpler, but unfortunately, they could not.
After a brief contemplation, Fang You clapped his hands and learned both skills directly.
Vast information flooded in, and profound power circulated throughout his body. In a daze, he gradually understood everything.
"So that's how it is."
"This is the wondrousness of the Finger of God!"
The other skill, Beyond the Shore of Void, held little significance for him, as he possessed the higher-grade and more profound space-type skill, the Legendary Virtual-Real.
He learned this skill because he could cultivate it to a profound level more quickly and inscribe it into the Legacy Land.
Learning a legendary one-star skill was simple.
Before long, with diligent practice and the assistance of skill cards, Mentor Fang's progress in both skills was rapid.
He broke through all obstacles encountered along the way without needing high-level skill cards.
In just a few days, he had cultivated both skills to the mastery level.
He gained more insights.
"Let's try skill fusion."
Two brilliant golden light clusters appeared in his spiritual consciousness.
One cluster represented the Gate of Infinity, and the other represented the Virtual-Real Shuttle, both three-star legendary skills.
He dragged Beyond the Shore of Void as a material and tested it.
"Both are compatible."
"As expected of a precious space-type skill."
The premonitions in the unseen realm and his rich experience in past skill fusions told him that it was possible, very possible!
A legendary skill would undoubtedly bring significant breakthroughs to these two core skills.
After a moment's thought, he chose the Gate of Infinity, which had accumulated more.
He dragged it in.
Boom—
It was as if something exploded in his spiritual consciousness.
Laws surged in, creating massive waves that continuously crashed. Profound characters, resembling the roots of the world, appeared one after another, as heavy as worlds!
Even a single one of these characters would cause the souls of ordinary awakened individuals to shatter if they merely looked at it.
The weight of these connected characters was something even the Mythic realm could not bear.
Mystery has weight!
Knowledge has weight!
Even though the fused skill had passed the destiny screening and was the most suitable for humans... it still contained immense dangers.
Of course, this was only for the Seven-Sense Mythics.
Mentor Fang only dazed for a moment before regaining his senses. He savored it carefully, the profound divine aura in his eyes not yet dissipated. Wherever his gaze fell, space rippled with divine light, like colorful rainbows.
"Gate of Infinity (Crimson)"
"Crimson Divine-Demonic grade skill!"
"The most crucial change brought about by legendary materials, after fusing numerous materials and deriving them to the three-star legendary level!"
"I didn't expect that among so many core skills, the Gate of Infinity would be the first to break through."
It was not bad either.
This skill was also Mentor Fang's main auxiliary skill, serving the same purpose in his combat system as the Tree of Life and Myriad Transformation Sword Art.
"Description: Auxiliary skill. When using attack or defense skills, it can multiply the number of skills by hundreds or thousands, without consuming extra energy. At the same time, a true spatial world is derived within the gate, capable of storing skills with almost no upper limit."
The biggest change was the addition of a 'world within the gate'!
Fang You extended his hand.
With a hum, the curtain of space parted, and a vast, seemingly endless silver-grey gate stood before him. Within it was boundless chaos. It existed naturally, its space solidified, requiring no user effort or energy to maintain.
"It's about the size of a level seven oasis."
It wasn't very large, but the significance of this space was not for habitation or storing supplies.
What was to be stored here were skills.
Fang You pondered for a moment, "Lightning."
Orange lightning condensed, eventually forming an incredibly sharp spear of destruction, filled with dense killing intent and destructive power.
It was so solid, as if it were a divine weapon.
He threw the divine weapon of lightning into the space of the Gate of Infinity, raising his eyebrows.
"So that's how it is..."
"Skills stored within the gate become fixed, like food stored in a freezer, requiring no maintenance or consumption, and can be stored almost indefinitely."
A single divine weapon of lightning, of course, held no great significance.
It was merely a slightly serious attack from him.
But what if the space within the gate stored ten thousand, ten million, billions of divine weapons of lightning? Wouldn't that be enough to annihilate all gods and demons?
The idea of slaying gods and eradicating evil was too exaggerated, but undoubtedly, the existence of the space within the gate provided him with an additional trump card.
A trump card that represented "ten years of practice backstage, one second on stage."
"The space within the gate has a storage limit, however, this space can be continuously expanded through self-nurturing. Moreover, even for the nascent space, it would take considerable time and effort to fill.
"Another daily task."
Becoming stronger is not easy, Mentor Fang sighed slightly.
For the next period, he would continue to cultivate Beyond the Shore of Void and research methods to inscribe it into the Legacy Land.
Popularizing it was impossible.
Even though the legendary Legacy Land could accommodate the skill, it would be destroyed after only a few uses.
But being able to let two or three people learn it was worthwhile.
Especially Yiluo Xi.
"The first crimson-grade skill turned out to be this girl's innate skill, she got lucky."
Fang You glanced at the girl's contribution point balance, considering the most appropriate exchange rate.
Inscribing a legendary skill was not something he could accomplish quickly.
Fang You arrived at the Stele Plaza, before the Time Law Stele.
Several people were staring at the profound characters on the stele, their brows furrowed in deep thought.
An Jianyou and Qian Qiu, two high-ranking individuals, were among them.
However, their eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to bore their eyeballs into the stele inscriptions, their states appearing somewhat abnormal.
"Can't you comprehend it?"
"Yeah..." Qian Qiu pulled at his hair, which was as messy as a bird's nest. His eyes were still fixed on the inscriptions, appearing determined to fight to the death. "This comprehension of the law of time is just too difficult!"
"Before I advanced to the high rank, I could get into a stele in just over ten days, but now that I'm in the high rank and have a deeper understanding of the laws, I haven't even touched the threshold in several days, damn it!"
Fang You became somewhat curious.
Qian Qiu's innate skill, 'Dream Bubble,' involved a small amount of the path of time.
He could slightly adjust the time interval between the bubble space and the outside world. Normally, the outside world would only perceive an instant, but he could extend it to one, two, or three seconds.
This was equivalent to a three-second strong control.
With coordinated teammates, the dream bubble illusion was extremely dominant.
This was why Qian Qiu had rushed over as soon as he heard about the emergence of the Time Law Stele.
And then he hit a wall.
It's that difficult? That's unreasonable!
"How difficult is it?" Fang You asked.
Qian Qiu pondered, "The path of time, it's not a question of difficulty, it's that kind of... that kind of..."
He couldn't articulate it!
The difficulty of laws was hard to express in words.
Fang You looked at An Jianyou.
Sister An also had a distressed expression. "Hmm... How to put it? Compared to other steles, the time stele inscriptions are like heavenly script. There were over a hundred people initially trying to comprehend the time stele, and in just a few days, only a few are left. I plan to try for a few more days, and if I really can't find the way, I'll retreat."
She didn't lack contribution points, but time was clearly not to be wasted!
She blinked and looked at her mentor.
Unlike them, who were novice high-rankers, their mentor was an ultimate being, with unfathomable power and mastery over countless laws.
Even if the mentor was already familiar with the law of time, she believed it.
Unfortunately, she couldn't even see the threshold, let alone comprehend a law of time. If she could get started, and understand some basics, she could ask her mentor for advice.
Mentor Fang walked directly to the front row of the Time Law Stele and sat down on a prayer mat.
He focused his gaze on the profound inscriptions of time.
The patterns of time appeared before his eyes.
Spinning, stretching, leaping, twisting.
He seemed to fall into a void of time, into fragments of time, and his own time became distorted.
After a long, long while...
He suddenly snapped back from his realization, his spiritual consciousness trembling. He did not open his eyes, but simply opened his panel and observed it in his mind.
Only a few tens of minutes had passed.
And he...
Hadn't comprehended anything.
No, he hadn't even been able to clearly see the inscriptions of time.
"Is this the profoundness of the law of time? It's difficult to enter a state of enlightenment."
Mentor Fang refused to believe it and continued to comprehend.
Once, twice, thrice.
Several days later,
His longest immersion reached three hundred minutes. However, he still hadn't comprehended any law of time, and could only vaguely see a phantom threshold.
"At this rate, it will take me at least a hundred days to get into one law."
"This is too slow, too slow."
"The laws of time are too obscure. If I want to speed up the progress, I need to find another way."
