Chapter 929: Chapter 498 - The Path to the Tenth Realm (Happy New Year~!)

Authority, the true hallmark of the tenth realm’s origin.

It’s hard to say whether one who has condensed fragments of authority can ascend to the tenth realm, or if one must first reach the tenth realm to qualify to wield authority.

Fang You doesn’t know.

Old Master Wu from the first trial site couldn’t provide an answer either.

All information related to authority cannot be preserved through text, sound, or any other means.

Wu Tianzhu might know, but the Old Master Wu, merely a divine thought of Wu Tianzhu, is forced to ’forget’ this information due to the restrictions of the heavenly rules.

"The further you go, the fewer references you have, but it doesn’t matter, just charge through."

The ninth realm focuses on mastering laws at a high level.

When certain conditions are met and specific opportunities triggered, one may have the chance to ascend to the tenth realm.

To reach the pinnacle of the mystical system.

Perhaps it is the pinnacle.

Various clues suggest that the mystical system has precisely ten major levels.

Followers of the Evil God are of the tenth realm, as are the Top Ancient Gods, and the indescribable Evil God seems... also to be in the tenth realm.

But evidently, the gap between one tenth realm and another may be wider than that between a dog and a high-level entity.

The weaker tenth realms are generally like ’Soverign of Darkness’ or ’Master of Wraiths.’

Fang You can emerge unscathed in front of them.

The ordinary tenth realm might be the Top Ancient Gods.

Moon Lord, Lord of Stars, Mother of Nature, Lord of Nine Seas, Infinite Serpent... Names of ancient beings whose existence he has confirmed floated up in his mind.

How great exactly is the gap between the Top Ancient Gods and the indescribable Evil God? He didn’t know for sure.

But he vaguely understood the great power and phases of the tenth realm.

Beings of the tenth realm can wield authority, possessing Divine Power and a true Godly Physique.

The latter is a standard feature of the tenth realm, with differences based on foundational strength without drastic exceptions, while the former typically represents the disparity within the tenth realm.

"Mastering a law to the level of a master grants one the opportunity to condense a fragment of authority, which is merely the beginning of the path to wielding authority."

"Continuing to condense more fragments on top of the authority fragments could gradually result in an incomplete authority, until finally, a complete authority."

Authority fragments, incomplete authority, complete authority.

This is the path of ascension in the tenth realm.

At first glance, it seems similar to advancing one’s expertise in laws, only a strengthened and upgraded version of laws, but authority differs fundamentally from laws.

Uniqueness!

Fang You can possess a deep understanding of the Law of Destruction, and so can others.

However, if a being wields a complete Authority of Annihilation, others, even if their mastery in the Law of Destruction is profound and cultivated to the ultimate peak, cannot condense even a single fragment of authority.

Similarly, if a certain being condenses a fragment of authority,

Under the same authority, another being would be unable to complete a full authority.

One authority, one path, made for one alone.

"However, beings of the tenth realm are extremely rare, so there should be many vacancies in authorities."

Among humans within the tenth realm, excluding those who ascended early in old times through the power of faith, there are only four confirmed beings who have stepped up to the tenth realm in the mystical system.

Radiant Emperor.

And the top three of the Nine Pillars.

The Top Ancient Gods and Evil God factions naturally have many more beings at the tenth realm level, but they are still only a handful.

And the types of authority...

He couldn’t count them all.

Laws related to ’fire’ involve burning, scorching, melting, exploding, brightness, etc.

Any direction of an ability might touch upon a law.

And any law can become eligible to condense an authority.

However, authorities are as numerous as stars, but foundational authorities are few.

To condense a certain authority to full completeness does not yet signify the endpoint of the tenth realm. A being of the tenth realm would build on this authority as the cornerstone, stepping onto the foundational authority.

From an Authority of Burning to Authority of Fire.

From an Authority of Sharpness to Authority of Swords.

From Authority of Annihilation to Authority of Thunders.

Then, just like condensing ordinary authorities, from fragment of foundational authority, to incomplete foundational authority, and finally to a complete foundational authority.

Of course, lower-tier laws are not limited to leading towards just one foundational law.

"To wield a complete authority, one is generally among the elite of the tenth realm. Then, could it be that the indescribable Evil God is a being that wields a complete foundational authority?"

He pondered, then shook his head.

The authority wielded by the Evil God, compared to normal humans and Ancient Gods, is entirely different.

Geared towards the negative.

Even if it’s an Authority of Light, the nature of the light in the hands of the Evil God compared to that in the Ancient Gods’ hands could be entirely different.

Moreover...

"The authority wielded by the Crimson Moon related to ’light’ and ’night,’ and the authority wielded by the Polar Night Sovereign also includes parts of ’night.’ They conflict with each other, implying neither can achieve a complete foundational authority."

These were insights Fang You gradually gathered as his own realm heightened.

"The battle between indescribable Evil Gods, perhaps, is related to the struggle for Authority?"

He guessed.

He might have to step into the tenth realm to understand.

However, he had no idea how to advance to the tenth realm.

Being at a high position was not like a Demigod; there was no clear cultivation path, nor was there a phase like ’high position complete mastery.’

He opened the panel, which did not display the "!" sign that indicated a guiding opportunity.

"Perhaps, I would need to condense Authority fragments and nourish my body and Divine Soul with the Power of Law to a certain extent to trigger this opportunity?"

Fang You tried to condense Authority.

One day, two days, three days...

He still couldn’t find the threshold.

Fang You wasn’t discouraged; naturally, Authority fragments weren’t easy to condense. Besides, he was merely at the ninth high realm; condensing Authority wouldn’t be as easy as in the tenth realm.

He had already exhausted this year’s allotment for the Time-Swirled Secret Realm, but he still had ample time.

Fang You was determined.

He wouldn’t leave retreat without condensing Authority fragments.

"Ding—"

The notification sound of the door-knock from Xiao Huan.

Fang You: "..."

He had instructed that without something urgent, Xiao Huan wouldn’t disturb him.

"Indeed, there’s a significant matter, it’s good news~"

"The research to mass-produce Legendary Tier Strange Implements has made a breakthrough, but Sister Liu Chang said it requires the master’s assistance."

He just said he wouldn’t leave retreat unless he condensed Authority.

What could he do? Of course, go and take a look!

If they could develop the technology to mass-produce Legendary Tier Strange Implements affordably, the overall strength of their organization would significantly improve.

There’s no denying; Legendary Tier Strange Implements were incredibly rare.

With Mythic Realms emerging within the organization like bamboo shoots after the rain, in the organization, those of Mythic Realm had nearly become ’little masters,’ and those below the Mythic Realm with Six Senses ranges could only claim to be elites.

But with so many from the organization at the Mythic Realm, a fortunate problem arose.

There were not enough Legendary Tier Strange Implements.

Far from enough.

Their organization could produce only a few dozen Legendary Tier Strange Implements a year.

Sources included Elder Fang pulling from card packs and Master Wang Chui forging them by hand.

However, Master Wang Chui needed very precious main materials to forge Legendary Tier Strange Implements. These main materials were either found by explorers or produced as Legendary Tier Strange Implement embryos by the super Oasis.

Both were quite limited in quantity.

Master Wang Chui wanted to forge more Legendary Tier Strange Implements, but it’s hard without the necessary materials.

Elder Fang’s card drawing also only had a very low probability of pulling Legendary Tier Strange Implements. His Legendary pulls were mostly skill cards and skill seeds.

Furthermore, to obtain Legendary Tier Strange Implements, one would have to buy from the established super Oasis forces.

These forces, inheriting thousands of years and more, had a profound heritage and also owned spare Legendary Tier Strange Implements.

But, they were costly.

Buying from these forces was quite uneconomical.

The scarcities faced by the organization were not just one or two, or ten or eight Legendary Tier Strange Implements.

Relying on external purchases to fill the gap, the organization’s wealth was far from enough.

Outsiders saw the organization as very wealthy, but that’s just because they dared to spend money, and their earning rate was also relatively quick.

In terms of total wealth, the organization might not compare with the top rulers like Neverwinter Empire or Scarlet Lotus Empire... unless counting the treasured artifacts.

The number of Legendary Tier Strange Implements produced annually by the organization was far less than the newly risen Mythics.

If capable, Elder Fang hoped to equip each Mythic with a Legendary Tier Strange Implement to maximize their combat capability.

For this, the organization launched the ’Legendary Tier Strange Implements Mass Production Plan.’

They were searching and developing materials that could replace Legendary materials and Legendary embryos.

This was extremely difficult.

Common Legendary materials could not forge Legendary Tier Strange Implements; they could only serve as supplementary materials.

And now, this plan had made a significant breakthrough.

Fang You got up and headed to his destination.

Updating on New Year’s Eve, I’m really working hard on myself (hip shot)

Cough cough~

Updates after the year should not lag too behind, but of course, since the book has entered its later stage, updating a bit slower is probably reasonable? ←_←

Anyway,

Happy New Year~!

Wishing everyone a healthy body, all the best, harmony and happiness, and may all your wishes come true~

Lastly, let’s wish for a year without pandemics!
