Chapter 257 The True God, the Powerful Beyond Imagination, Laws, Choices, and the Journey Begins!
Old Rabbit is a deity.
He is the guide for this divine instance.
They are pioneers on the path of laws.
No matter how arrogant Qin Fang is, he wouldn't think that he has more foresight than Lao Tu.
Since it recommends using a knife, there must be a reason for it.
The wisest thing to do now is to listen to the advice of my seniors.
Seeing Qin Fang readily accept his suggestion, a hint of admiration flashed across Old Rabbit's cloudy eyes...
Throughout its long life, it has encountered many guides. These guides who are able to come to the God's Dungeon are almost all the best in their respective worlds, and they have a strong sense of subjective judgment.
To put it nicely, it's about having a strong sense of autonomy.
To put it bluntly... they're just being clever and refusing to listen to advice.
They always felt that their judgments were more accurate than that of the deity.
Of course, some people listened to the advice...
But many people who listen to advice... are actually just indecisive.
They were completely like headless flies.
When they encounter even the slightest trouble, they turn to themselves as their guide.
The person being guided in front of them was clearly in a different situation than them.
He is opinionated... His previous wariness, his own understanding of the 'visualization method', etc., all show that he has his own convictions and will not rashly trust others, but will observe calmly.
However, while she has her own opinions, she is not stubborn. For example, in matters like weapon selection... although it's a small thing, the other party readily followed her advice.
This was not because she influenced his judgment.
Rather, he knew very well that in this matter, his judgment was clearly no more accurate than hers.
It was based on this understanding that I followed her advice.
Instead of being completely clueless and simply doing whatever she says.
Although the results are the same in both cases.
But in essence, they are completely different.
She had seen too many people being guided to be able to tell at a glance which situation it was.
"Since that's the case..."
After these thoughts flashed through Old Rabbit's mind, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he flipped his hand, and three books appeared in his hand.
"These are the three sword techniques I can currently offer you: 'Nine Blades of Xunfeng,' 'Nine Slashes of Lihuo,' and 'Nine Chops of Poyue.'"
Old Rabbit looked at Qin Fang and explained carefully: "These three sword techniques are not ordinary sword techniques; they have reached the 'ultimate skill' level. As for martial arts techniques and sword techniques, they are generally divided into several levels such as 'ordinary,' 'excellent,' 'outstanding,' and 'ultimate skill'... The 'ultimate skill' level is already considered a very powerful secret manual."
"They are sword techniques, but they are not just sword techniques. They are a comprehensive martial art. They include many aspects such as movement, power generation, and the circulation of source energy. They are called sword techniques because they are based on the 'sword'."
"These sword techniques are basically the highest-level sword techniques you can come into contact with here. When you master one of them to the sixth level and reach a trace of 'intent', you can exchange it for everything you've gained here and leave."
Qin Fang's gaze sharpened upon hearing this.
A comprehensive martial art at the ultimate level!
Only after reaching the sixth level and experiencing a sliver of its essence... can one leave this place?
He nodded and listened attentively.
"Let me first give you a general explanation of the differences between these three sword techniques and their significance."
Old Rabbit glanced at Qin Fang's serious expression, nodded in satisfaction, and continued his introduction.
"The three sword techniques, as their names suggest, have different focuses. 'Nine Blades of Xunfeng' emphasizes elegance and agility, prioritizing speed. When attacking, it is about continuous strikes that make it difficult for the opponent to cope, ultimately leading to their death."
"With each level you master, your slashing speed will increase threefold. For example, if you swing your sword normally, you might only be able to swing twice per second. But after mastering the first level, your slashing speed will increase threefold, reaching six slashes per second!"
"If you cultivate to the second level and then triple your skill, that's eighteen strikes per second."
"The third level is fifty-four cuts per second."
"The fourth level, that's one hundred and sixty-two cuts..."
"At the ninth level, theoretically, you can swing your sword 39,366 times per second..."
Qin Fang was dumbfounded.
The first level, with its ability to swing the sword six times per second, was already enough to shock him...
Once you reach the ninth level, you can directly unleash 39,366 sword strikes?
That's only one second!
Qin Fang swallowed hard.
"That strong?"
Old Rabbit looked at him: "Of course it's strong, otherwise why would it be called a unique skill? And this is calculated based on your basic state, where you can only swing the sword twice per second. If your physique is strong enough, you can swing it 3 times, 4 times, 5 times... this number will only be greater."
"Although it is only at the level of ultimate skill, if you cultivate to the ninth level, you will touch a trace of the law... Some stronger gods can slash hundreds of thousands or even millions of times per second."
Qin Fang was stunned, almost unable to comprehend it.
What would it be like to swing a knife millions of times per second?
I can't even think of a solution!
"The law... is that powerful?"
Qin Fang asked this question in disbelief.
"Don't compare the true laws to the fragments of laws within you."
Old Rabbit looked at him, his eyes cloudy: "You have many fragments of laws within you, many of which involve extremely powerful laws, such as time and space... those are high-level laws. When they are truly activated, their power is unbelievable. But when you fought before, the range of the battle was at most a few thousand meters... or even less than a thousand meters, right? When you used spatial displacement, it was at most a few thousand meters, or tens of thousands of meters, right?"
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then nodded...
If it's a space-based technique, the first person he thought of was Uesugi Aoi. But her domain only covers about 300 meters.
"What kind of law is that?"
Old Rabbit shook his head: "When true powerhouses clash, the distance can easily reach tens of thousands of kilometers, hundreds of thousands of kilometers... or even a wider world. Billions or even tens of billions of lives could be wiped out as a result."
"A true master of the laws of space can teleport a distance that is measured in light-years! Just think about how far that is."
"That's what a true powerhouse is."
"The saying 'When gods fight, mortals suffer' means this."
Qin Fang was stunned into silence.
The battle's range extended over hundreds or thousands of kilometers?
It should be noted that the entire Xia Kingdom is only a little over 9.6 million square kilometers.
Is an area with a diameter of millions of kilometers affected?
So, a single strike from a god could destroy the Xia Kingdom?
Qin Fang was stunned, then quickly asked, "Can a deity who eats the divine fruit do that?"
If that god is really that powerful... then there's no need to struggle.
Just wait to die.
"The gods who ate the divine fruit certainly couldn't do that. They just had more complete fragments of the laws within them, making them at most false gods. In essence, they were still puppets."
"At most, their combat impact can only reach tens of thousands of meters..."
The old rabbit shook its head.
Qin Fang listened in a daze.
Tens of thousands of meters... and that's all?
That's a huge area of more than ten kilometers!
With a single blow, half the city was gone?
"Since you've chosen the path of laws, I naturally need to tell you what level you can reach in the later stages. But that's very far from you; you've only just embarked on the path of cultivation. Just keep that in mind, and don't be overly ambitious. Also, you don't need to worry about your world being affected by powerful beings... The Myriad Races Battle Domain has a strict monitoring and surveillance mechanism. Powerful beings capable of destroying an entire world cannot possibly come to such a low-level plane. Even if a great being bypasses the monitoring mechanism, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble recklessly... Otherwise, the Myriad Races Battle Domain wouldn't let them off the hook."
Old Rabbit shook his head as he spoke: "Let's talk about the present."
Although Old Rabbit said that, Qin Fang already knew that there were such powerful people outside, and it was impossible for him not to be moved at all.
But after a moment, he let out a soft breath and forced himself to calm down.
Old Rabbit is right; that kind of existence is too far removed from him.
He hasn't even begun on the path of the laws.
So I listened attentively...
"The Nine Slashes of Blazing Fire emphasizes a burst of power. The Blazing Fire Blade Technique isn't slow either, but it relies more on the explosive force of a single moment..."
"The Nine Splits of Mountain Breaking emphasizes immense power and overwhelming force, purely using sheer power to suppress the opponent. Mastering even one level will triple your strength..."
"These three martial arts correspond to three different paths of law. Gentle Breeze is naturally the path of the law of wind. Blazing Fire is the path of the law of fire. Breaking the Mountain is the path of the law of earth."
"The myriad realms are vast, but there are only a few paths of laws. These are the two supreme laws: time and space. This is what is meant by the supremacy of time and space. Then there are the five subordinate laws of space: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. And the four subordinate laws of time: wind, thunder, light, and shadow... a total of eleven laws."
"As long as one comprehends even one principle, one can be considered a god."
Old Rabbit calmly introduced the situation.
Qin Fang was deeply shaken upon hearing this, and suddenly asked, "Then... which path did you take?"
Old Rabbit paused for a moment before calmly saying, "I've taken the paths of space and fire."
"Space? Fire?"
Qin Fang was stunned.
"You must understand the two superior principles. Of course, it's very difficult to get started. But you should try it for the sake of your future. This will determine your final level. In general, you can choose to pair it with a subordinate principle."
Old Rabbit paused for a moment before saying, "So, your choice now is relatively important, as it will determine your future development direction. Will you focus on space and cultivate the five major laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? Or will you focus on time and cultivate the four major laws of wind, thunder, light, and shadow?"
It looked Qin Fang up and down, then calmly said, "You have a lot of law fragments in your panel, covering almost all the higher and lower laws. You have a lot of choices and a great advantage. It's all up to you."
"Now, make your choice."
Old Rabbit's words made Qin Fang frown, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
The two overarching laws are time and space.
The nine lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and shadow...
Needless to say, the strength of the legendary class 'Time Prison Guardian' is evident. Its various skills are unimaginably powerful.
As for space...
Spatial law fragments are actually the most numerous. This is because many assassin classes in the epic... are vaguely related to the spatial element.
The last legendary class, Uesugi Aoi's 'Purgatory Rose', is clearly also a space-type skill.
In contrast, only the 'Time Prison Guardian' touches upon time.
These fragments of laws sound very useful, and they may manifest themselves when one truly begins to comprehend the laws later on.
So now...
After thinking for a long time, Qin Fang suddenly asked, "Cultivating both time and space... is that not allowed?"
The old rabbit frowned slightly and remained silent for a while before saying, "It's not that it's impossible, but it's too difficult."
"Comprehension of higher-level laws is a million times more difficult than comprehension of lower-level laws. Many people can comprehend a complete lower-level law but cannot comprehend even a trace of a higher-level law. To start directly with higher-level laws? Don't even think about it. You can't expect to run before you can walk."
“But your situation is special, with so many fragments of laws… perhaps it’s different from others.”
"I won't interfere with your future path or your choices. The final decision is yours. But for now, you need to choose a sword technique... at least, start on the path."
Old Rabbit's words made Qin Fang realize what was going on.
Yes, Old Rabbit is just a guide.
The final decision rests with him.
And right now, we're far from reaching the point where we should choose a particular path based on certain principles...
He had only just learned to cultivate himself.
Thinking of this, he looked at the three manuals, pondered for a long time, and then let out a soft breath.
"Then I choose the Nine Slashes of Xunfeng."
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses.
Since we're in the early stages now, let's just focus on the early stages.
Qin Fang realized he almost made the same mistake as that monk... He was eating, but he was thinking about sleeping.
Such a discrepancy between one's inner thoughts and actions will inevitably lead to wasted effort and little reward, and one may even fail to take the first step properly.
Qin Fang woke up with a start.
Gods, laws, and terrifying powers... put them all aside for now.
Right now, I am just a little karami who has just embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
The more you think, the harder it is for your mind to find peace, and the less likely you are to embark on the path of spiritual practice.
Upon hearing Qin Fang's choice, Old Rabbit didn't say much. He nodded, flipped his hand, and two of the manuals disappeared, leaving the remaining one for Qin Fang.
Qin Fang looked down at the text, but he didn't recognize it.
No problem, the panel will translate it for him.
"Alright, now that you have the manual, go and practice on your own... As I said before, try to come to me as little as possible. If you do come to me and I teach you, your score will drop."
"but……"
After a pause, it suddenly said, "From now on, you should live in the village. I have no intention of investigating your secrets, but living in the village will only bring you benefits, not harm."
"You have three months. The first test given to all living beings by the Battlefield of Myriad Realms is three months. After three months, you will begin your first trial... How you perform will determine your final score."
"Hurry up. Your world doesn't have much time left, only three years. If you can't comprehend even a trace of the laws within three years, and can't even be considered a 'god,' your world..."
At this point, Old Rabbit shook his head.
Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded heavily.
He took a deep breath, stood up, and said goodbye.
"Village chief, I'll be going now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Qin Fang nodded and turned to leave.
"Cultivation, swordsmanship, laws, deities..."
Qin Fang went outside and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
But then the true appearance of Ribite Star that he had just seen involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He clenched his fist secretly.
Three years...
Is it possible to make it in time?
He pursed his lips and walked towards his mushroom house...
