"My dear Summoner, if you die, won't I just take you down with me?"
Just as Fang Zong was in a daze, Ninth Sister's cheerful voice rang out.
No wonder Fang Zong was confused, because the scene before him was too dreamlike.
He could not feel his own body, nor even his own soul. He had no desires of joy, anger, greed, hatred, or delusion, nor any of the six senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, or thought. What he could see were invisible lines, seemingly winding yet perfectly straight, as if they came from the boundless, or as if they had vanished into the infinite, hidden in heaven and earth, and piercing through the void.
Ninth Sister laughed and said, "What you see is the origin of all things in the universe, but it's not very meaningful because no one can truly understand it."
"origin?"
"Yes, some people call them the 'one that has vanished,' while others call them the mortal world. But they're just nonsense. What's the point of having something you can't understand?"
Ninth Sister spoke with a disdainful look, then suddenly laughed: "But you've had your share of the Soaring Grandmaster experience card. Think about it, you used to be just a low-level Dao Spirit Grandmaster. Above Dao Spirit are divine powers and great arts, then you have to cross the Void Sea, temper the Flaming Mountain, and fuse your body and soul into a wisp of true spirit to truly step into the Saint Realm. The Saint Realm is further divided into the Celestial Realm, Earth God Realm, Primordial Soul Realm, and Chaotic Demon Realm, and finally, the Soaring Grandmaster. Only the Soaring Grandmaster can travel freely through all the heavens and break through all barriers, thus seeing this... Pfft, hahahaha, you've vanished!"
Mentioning "the one who escaped," Ninth Sister couldn't stop laughing.
Fang Zongcai didn't care, as long as he wasn't dead. Just as he was about to speak, his vision suddenly changed. All the lines disappeared, and he found himself in an empty, secret room.
The secret chamber was enormous, larger than three football fields combined. It was surrounded by white jade, inlaid with millions of spirit stones, and faintly glowed with blue light, making it the epitome of luxury.
This enormous secret chamber was illuminated by spirit stones, and he was in the center of the chamber.
"What's wrong with me?" Fang Zong still couldn't feel his body.
He discovered that he was a luminous ball of light, only half the size of a finger joint, floating in the center of four ancient beast statues. The beast statues were exquisite and full of awe-inspiring energy, constantly emitting wisps of energy that nourished the ball of light he had become.
Ninth Sister laughed and said, "You were burned to ashes. Now, well, you could say you're alive, but you have no body. You could say you're dead, but you're different from ordinary ghosts. The energy of the Extinction Dragon Soul is far more powerful than yours. It burned your physical body and soul into the thinnest ray of light. Only I have the ability to keep you alive."
"So, what should I do now?"
"Absorb energy first, the Moon Goddess has prepared lots of delicious food for you."
As they were talking, a light shone from the side, and the Old Mother of the Moon gracefully walked out.
Despite being called the Moon Goddess, she looked like a young girl of sixteen or seventeen. She didn't shy away from the secret room, wearing a thin, barely visible gauze dress, and carefully scrutinized Fang Zong.
"The recovery is going well; it can now be nurtured with the finest treasures."
"The Moon Goddess said softly."
With a flick of her sleeve, five-colored light illuminated the ground, revealing hundreds and thousands of treasures.
Fang Zong had never seen these treasures before and could not recognize them, but each of them carried terrifying energy fluctuations. Even the weakest one was more than ten times stronger than the best treasure he had ever eaten!
The Moon Goddess placed the treasure into the beast statue, and the energy surged instantly. Fang Zong felt incredibly full and comfortable, almost crying out, but he held back and let his own ball of light slowly grow.
First it was the size of a finger, then it grew to the size of a baby's fist, and its strength was recovering rapidly.
"Dear Summoner, you've been burned to ashes, so your strength is 0. Hmm, it's 100,000 now."
Ninth Sister was 'explaining' from the side, but Fang Zong didn't bother with her. The surge in his strength brought him an unparalleled sense of comfort, which made him have to control himself to avoid making any noises that would arouse suspicion from Old Mother Gaiyue.
In an instant, he reached the fifth level of supernatural powers.
In the second instant, he already possessed the strength of the Imperial Dao level!
He used to have a profound foundation, but he still had many flaws. He was a human, not a god, and it was inevitable that his cultivation would be tainted. But now all the flaws have been wiped away, and his Dao-level strength is as hard and pure as crystal!
"It's already absorbed it all? But it only has the energy intensity of the Imperial Dao level?"
The Old Mother of the Moon exclaimed in surprise.
Based on the energy intensity of these treasures, even if they were piled up, they could have raised a pig to the level of a Dao Spirit Grand Venerable. However, after being absorbed by Fang Zong, they could only produce energy fluctuations at the level of Imperial Dao.
The Old Mother of the Moon felt sorry for her precious treasure, but after thinking about it, she took out more of her savings and kept filling the beast's mouth.
What is the sect most lacking?
Talented!
In ordinary small worlds, at most, talents like Xiu Hua are born, who would only be mid-level disciples in a four-star sect. But Fang Zong is different; he is an exceptional talent far surpassing top disciples. If he continues to develop, he could support a huge four-star sect.
Therefore, according to common sense, the Blackwater Palace should protect Fang Zong, not force him. However, also according to common sense, a small world doesn't produce a single outstanding individual; instead, it's usually a three-way, four-way, or even eighteen-nation struggle. In other words, Fang Zong's small world is extremely powerful, constantly producing talents comparable to him. This is why the Blackwater Palace is forcing Fang Zong, and why she's willing to expend all her treasures to nurture the last wisp of Fang Zong's spirit.
As the Moon Goddess was thinking this, Fang Zong continued to absorb energy, and finally...
Dao Ling Dazun!
Moreover, he is the most top-ranking Dao Spirit Grand Venerable among the lower four!
In a very short time, Fang Zong was two levels higher than when he was alive!
Fang Zong felt a profound sense rising from the bottom of his heart, as if he could understand it, yet it was also completely indescribable. He knew that this was the kind of enlightenment that a Dao Spirit Grand Venerable of the profound and ineffable level should have. Before he could savor it carefully, he found that his heart was stained with a vermilion-yellow color that resembled the noble aura of the Huang family. His energy surged tenfold, and his strength became more than twenty times stronger.
The terrifying energy caused him to let out a trembling 'whoosh', and the entire secret chamber exploded instantly, even shattering and blowing away the thin veil covering the Moon Goddess!
"Good! It has regained some of its intelligence!"
The Moon Goddess was overjoyed.
She had only regained some of her intelligence; in her eyes, Fang Zong was long dead. At this moment, Fang Zong was just a stone storing information, and there was no need to be wary of him. She stood there, making no attempt to conceal her graceful curves, and gently touched Fang Zong.
Fang Zong: "..."
What are you doing?
While I was feeling dazed, I suddenly felt my memories starting to slip away, and an image of Earth was projected into the air.
What the Moon Goddess wants is Fang Zong's memories, the great secret of Earth's existence!
At the very least, she needs Earth's coordinates!
