Carefree Path of Dreams

The black dragons pulled the carriage and flew through the sky.

Fang Yuan’s spiritual will focused on this remnant page of the Pantheon Catalog, and he started digesting the mystic technique recorded on it.

“Five Extreme Origin Heavenly Escape Technique?!”

This page of the Pantheon Catalog indeed recorded an escape technique!

If this was released, who knew how many Immortals would fight over it?

However, Fang Yuan could only sigh.

There were millions of escape techniques, but which one could compare to the Illusion Realm’s void teleportation?

“But this Five Extreme Origin Heavenly Escape Technique still has its merits. Because its foundation is rooted in the Five Elements yet surpasses the Five Elements, the escape light can’t be blocked by any array or immortal artifact. Unless you are unlucky enough to meet some extraordinary danger on the way, you can escape millions of kilometers away with a single thought. It is definitely a top escape technique!”

Anything produced by the Pantheon Catalog was bound to be exceptional!

If Fang Yuan did not already have the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, he would certainly make this escape technique his core technique!

After crossing through countless worlds, he had long realized that survival was the most important.

“However, this escape technique requires a materialization to execute, so it’s only of use to barbarians. This confirms that the author of the Pantheon Catalog was an almighty of the barbarians!”

Fang Yuan continued, “If an Immortal could learn this, they would have some hope of escaping from my saber. Unfortunately, I haven’t spotted any in those numerous encirclements!”

Other than this limitation, all the other aspects were decent. Although this escape technique had demanding requirements and needed a few precious materials as assistance, Fang Yuan’s abundant loot from the Sixteen Countries ensured that he had enough resources on hand.

“Even though I’m not planning to use it as my core, cultivating it won’t do me any harm! Anyway, I have spare time while traveling north!”

The Great Sage Immortal World was thousands of times larger than the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Sixteen Countries combined, and there were several cultivation Holy Lands there.

Although there were very few monstrous geniuses who cultivated top nomological laws, one or two would always appear every ten thousand years.

Who knew if there were arrays or immortal artifacts specialized in restraining the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws? As such, Fang Yuan had to prepare for a rainy day and prepare another escape technique.

“Once both these great escape techniques cooperate and complement each other perfectly, it’ll be truly hard for me to die…”

Fang Yuan thought about it and took out a pile of materials. “Besides, learning the Five Extreme Origin Heavenly Escape Technique will help with condensing the Ten Thousand Beast Banner!”

…

Even though there were quite a few troubles from the Sixteen Countries to the Great Sage Immortal World, Fang Yuan made use of the intel he had gathered to avoid these danger zones. Given his strength, he easily dealt with the rest and faced no danger en route. Six months later, he reached the periphery of the Great Sage Immortal World.

A white light descended from the sky and came to a stop gradually. Fang Yuan alighted from the carriage and looked at the massive peak not too far away.

This massive peak was incomparably towering, standing perfectly straight into the sea of clouds. Clouds curled around the waist of the mountain, forming a ring-shaped dragon that looked very exotic.

“Changpan Peak! A landmark of the Great Sage Immortal World!”

Fang Yuan let out a deep breath when he saw the peak.

Although he could teleport all the way at a much faster speed than that of a Grand Unity Immortal, one aspect was that he needed to cultivate on the way. Another was that he had to limit his burden and preserve strength to deal with any unexpected situations. Therefore, he had used the flying carriage, which got him here in a decent time, as it only took half a year.

Compared to the thousands of years a cultivator lived, this was indeed nothing.

“The Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect’s reinforcements are perhaps still on the way!”

With Fang Yuan’s understanding of Tai Xuan, this Grand Unity Immortal most likely recruited Immortals as reinforcements, having them bring array flags and magic treasures meant to restrain the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws.

If it was not a Grand Unity Almighty, it was probably impossible to draw so many resources!

Even a cultivation Holy Land would not have too many of these existences. If too many went to the Sixteen Countries, their defense would be stretched thin.

If it were during peaceful times, there would not be many problems. However, a Demonic Tribulation was about to arrive, so the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect did not dare to be careless.

“According to the information from the Sixteen Countries, the Great Sage Immortal World is immensely vast and can be divided into five regions. Among the five regions, the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect is fully worthy of being the overlord of the Southern Region! Unfortunately, I didn’t meet the reinforcements on the way… Otherwise, I wouldn’t have hesitated to kill them all!”

Even though Fang Yuan had decided to make the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect pay a price, Fang Yuan was merely at the peak of the Apotheosis realm. Killing Immortals might be easy, but he would be helpless against Grand Unity Immortals.

As far as a Holy Land was concerned, the death of Immortals would not cause any commotion.

“Since I didn’t encounter them, there’s no need to force it. It’s more urgent for me to raise my strength and at least first transcend the lightning tribulation!”

On this thought, Fang Yuan could not help frowning.

The lightning tribulation was difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!!

The difference between mortals and Immortals in this world was most vivid.

Before Fang Yuan, ordinary mortals, even those at peak Nascent Soul, could do nothing to an Immortal!

Because of how precious Immortals were, you had to have a predestined fate to become one.

“You can only resist this world’s lightning tribulation with your own cultivation. If you attempt to use magic treasures or external help, the might of the lightning tribulation will increase violently! The gains do not make up for the losses! And the more monstrous the cultivator, the greater the might of the lightning tribulation!” Fang Yuan mumbled, recalling the relevant information on the lightning tribulation.

Presently, he could kill Immortals as if they were chicken and was extremely fierce. He could even be called the strongest monstrous genius in history, so his heavenly tribulation was inevitably going to be of a whole new level of terrifying.

“Ah, the lightning tribulation… truly puts me at a loss… In the past six months, I’ve already reached the peak of the Apotheosis realm. Logically speaking, I’ve reached the minimum to attract the lightning tribulation. But I actually have a premonition in my heart that once I undergo the tribulation, death is inevitable!”

This was one of the reasons why he did not force the lightning tribulation.

“There are the rewards of the lightning tribulation as well. All nomological laws at perfection will obtain the upgrade of Great Dao inspirations, saving tens of thousands of years of cultivating for ordinary Immortals… For me, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to upgrade the Nomological Laws of Time and Nomological Laws of Void. Therefore, as long as the Nomological Laws of Time aren’t at perfection, I won’t transcend the tribulation!”

While thinking about this, Fang Yuan sighed. “But… with the nomological laws of the Illusion Realm and of time at perfection, as well as two bodies, just how strong will my lightning tribulation be?”

This was the ultimate nightmare of every cultivator in this world.

Master ordinary nomological laws, and you would likely die during the lightning tribulation.

Master top nomological laws, and your chances of surviving the lightning tribulation were still exceptionally slim.

“In my opinion, if you want to have a smooth and safe tribulation, you have to be honest and master mid-level nomological laws. After tempering yourself more, you’ll have more confidence. For example, Saber King Mo He and Venerable Lie Huo are in this range and are decently confident about surviving their tribulation. But after becoming Immortal, they will disappear among the others!

“If you want to advance to Grand Unity and Grand Supreme… your foundation is absolutely important. Immortals might have a long lifespan, but regarding comprehending Great Daos, they don’t really have any significant advantage. Perhaps tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, of cultivation is inferior to a single lightning tribulation…”

Despite his intentions of upgrading his nomological laws during the lightning tribulation, Fang Yuan did not dare to be slightly careless.

The Great Dao inspirations from the heavens seemed like a gift, but in fact, it was a double-edged sword!

Just how rare was this opportunity for heaven and earth to instill Great Dao inspirations directly? In particular, these were Great Daos corresponding to the nomological laws you had bitterly cultivated. Any cultivator would most likely be thoroughly engrossed in it, making it much more effective than any mental demon attack. After all, this was something a cultivator was actively seeking. This was their ‘Dao’!

And under this circumstance, you still had to deal with the terrifying lightning tribulation?

The slightest mistake would turn you into fine powder!

“If you are greedy but not strong enough, death is inevitable during the tribulation… Even many peerless geniuses died during their tribulation. They could resist the lightning tribulation, but because they were too engrossed in the Great Dao inspirations, they couldn’t extricate themselves in time and eventually died from the bombardment!”

After half a year of research, Fang Yuan was very familiar with the lightning tribulation. “The might of the lightning tribulation is secondary. The most important factor is the Great Dao inspirations, which are equivalent to highest-level mental attacks. Once a cultivator is immersed in it and forgets that they’re still going through the tribulation, death is inevitable! Even if you don’t become immersed, it’s still very dangerous if you’re distracted. After all, actively defending against the lightning is vastly different from being passive attacked by it. At this time, body refining techniques are especially important!”

This was why Fang Yuan was so excited to obtain the Nine Transference Undying Method, and also why he wanted to look for the rest of it!

“Too many geniuses have died during their tribulation because they were too engrossed in the Great Dao inspirations. But if your body can withstand the wrath of the lightning tribulation, there will be plenty of opportunities… To me, however, the first three transferences of the Nine Transference Undying Method are only enough to strengthen my body to match a low-grade immortal artifact, which still isn’t enough!”

If ordinary Immortals tempered their bodies to such an extent, they would easily survive the lightning tribulation.

For example, people like Mo He or Venerable Lie Huo would be ninety percent confident of transcending their tribulation at this level.

But Fang Yuan was not any ordinary person, and his lightning tribulation was destined to be the greatest and most frightening one in the history of the Wasteland World! Only the Abominable Lord stood a chance of matching or exceeding it!

“The might of the lightning tribulation, based on the standard of me narrowly surviving, should be equivalent to being attacked by a Grand Unity or even a Grand Supreme Immortal?”

Fang Yuan licked his lips. “If my body becomes comparable to a primordial treasure, I should be fifty percent more confident!”

To him, even if the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower was invaded and his clone was in imminent peril, his priority would still be to find the remaining six transferences of the Nine Transference Undying Method.

After all, nothing was more reliable than your own strength.

With this thought, he spread open the map.

This map was formed by collating the information from the ancient books of the Sixteen Countries. Among them, some information came from Immortals who had traveled to the Great Sage Immortal World, and it recorded many local conditions and customs.

Of course, the Southern Region was the most detailed, and the other four regions were somewhat vague.

“However, I’ve already interrogated the Golden Peak Sect. The Nine Transference Undying Method is from the Central Region… And this technique is definitely from one of the cultivation Holy Lands!”

Fang Yuan put away the scroll and returned to the Black Dragon Flying Carriage while whistling.

The nine black flood dragons roared wind and fire as they sped up to bypass the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect’s core area and head toward the Central Region.
