Chapter 58: Buddhas Palm - 58
Zhou Fan sat in his room and thought for a while. It was a difficult task to think of a new use for Qi.
He considered imitating the way he made the formation plates to make a weapon, but he realized that there wasn't enough metal to forge a sword that would be good enough for him.
Instead, he thought of direct uses of Qi. Since he started cultivating, he would have to barbarically release his Qi in order to attack.
Instead, he may be able to invent a better way. He would call it 'martial arts'. Although some people already used fighting styles that they named martial arts, the ones he created would be at a whole new level.
Since he had the idea, Zhou Fan decided to act on it. He chose to focus first on attack martial arts, then defensive martial arts, and finally, support martial arts.
Zhou Fan went outside the cave and in a random direction in order to not destroy the cave with his attacks.
He ended up in a place called the dark empire. Right now, it is in a state of civil war. Just 30 years ago, the boundless empire and the truth empire teamed up to eliminate the dark empire, due to the fact that it tried to incite a war between them.
Although the mortaniel empire almost stepped in to stop the war, they decided to let it happen after hearing the reason.
All that remained now was a couple nobles and a bunch of civilians.
Zhou Fan had only heard of the events because they were so world shaking. It was the first time in almost 500 years that a top 10 empire fell. In the end, it could only be said that they were too ambitious.
As Zhou Fan flew around, he discovered an uninhabited mountain range in the distance. He flew to the highest peak and sat at the top.
As he looked at the incredible view, Zhou Fan began to formulate martial arts in his head.
First, he remembered the buddha. From his travels with him, he had comprehended a type of Qi called Buddhist Qi. It had great purifying and enhancement capabilities. It was also the closest thing to a counter of Demon Qi that he had discovered.
After 20 minutes, Zhou Fan had an idea. He held his palm out towards one of the mountains not far away and coated it in Buddhist Qi. Once the Buddhist Qi was shaped into his palm, he sent it up in the air and enlarged it thousands of times.
It fell to the ground like a meteor at an astonishing speed, covering the entire mountain and even the surrounding mountains.
As it made contact, a loud boom shook the entire area, followed by an earthquake and a great amount of wind. The earth split apart and the mountain, along with the 20 mountains surrounding it, were no longer in existence.
All that remained was a giant palm print in the ground. When Zhou Fan saw the result, his eyes widened in surprise. That was by far the strongest attack he had ever made.
The only way he could think of making a stronger attack was with Chaos Qi. As he thought of Chaos Qi, he wondered what would happen if he coated the buddha's palm with a layer of Chaos Qi.
When the thought came to his mind, he shuddered. The power such an attack would contain probably wouldn't even spare him. He may be able to flatten the entire kingdom.
Chaos Qi was not to be underestimated. If added onto the previous attack, it would likely increase its strength by 100 times, if not more.
As Zhou Fan decided not to test it, an idea came to mind. Why did the target have to be earth? Zhou Fan turned his gaze to the sky. Since it was day, there were no stars out, but there was a big blazing ball of flame.
Although Zhou Fan knew he couldn't reach the sun, he could at least send his attack towards it.
He raised his palm and started to coat his hand with Buddhist Qi once again. He had previously named the attack, 'buddha's palm', but now, it was better to call the new attack 'Choas Buddha's palm'.
Before he released the Buddhist Qi from his hand, he carefully added another layer. This time, it was made out of Chaos Qi. As the two Qi's touched, they melded into each other, creating a different color.
The previous gold Buddhist Qi was added to the gray Chaos Qi, giving it a slight glow.
Once he made sure they were stable, Zhou Fan let the Qi go out and expand thousands of times. This time, he didn't hold back a bit and added every bit of his Qi into the attack. Although he knew it would cause Qi exhaustion, he decided it was worth it.
Once the palm expanded to ten thousand times the size, Zhou Fan used his last bit of Qi and propelled it forward.
As Zhou Fan fell on his butt, the Chaos Buddha's palm shot towards the sun. As it traveled, an extreme pressure was given to the surroundings, pushing Zhou Fan and every living being within a thousand miles to the ground.
As it traveled through the air, the air started to shake and warp from its sheer power. Once it got to the ozone layer, it completely destroyed it before heading into space. Once it got to space, it met with some natural resistance, but it didn't even slow down a bit, continuing to go towards the sun at 10,000 miles per hour. It continued to travel for another 1000 miles before it finally dispersed.
As Zhou Fan started to pass out from Qi exhaustion, a smile could be seen on his face. The previous attack had exceeded his expectations.
It moved at an incredible speed, and without even touching anything, its power radiated across the lands.
After seeing this, Zhou Fan knew it wouldn't be long before he could go out into space.
Chapter 59: School - 59
When Zhou Fan finally opened his eyes again, an entire day had passed. Looking around, he could still see signs of destruction from the previous day.
However, he didn't plan to stop after creating two martial arts. Since a day had passed, Zhou Fan had regenerated his Qi. He once again pondered what martial arts he could make.
'Perhaps a long range attack? Maybe an invisible one?' He continuously formulated ideas in his head and decided that next, he would create a piercing long range attack.
As he considered the possibilities, Zhou Fan pointed out two fingers. On them, a thin, sword-like shape began to form. The Qi was yellow and gave off a feeling that made one feel like they would be cut in half if they looked too long.
As he stared at the attack, he named it yellow piercing sword finger. Although quite long, the name couldn't fit better.
Zhou Fan turned his attention to the farthest mountain peak and shot the yellow piercing sword finger towards it. It moved at an incredible speed. Even a core formation cultivator may not be able to see it before they were hit.
Once it came in contact with the mountain, no fancy explosion happened. Instead, the yellow piercing sword finger cleanly shot out of the back of the peak and embedded itself into the ground.
Although no mortal could see it, a small vertical slice cut through the peak. The yellow piercing sword finger had silently cut through it.
Seeing the results, Zhou Fan gave an approving nod. After testing it a few more times, Zhou Fan moved on to the next move.
-------------------
After an entire day of theorizing and testing martial arts, Zhou Fan had created 3 more.
The first one was the Dao finger. Like the Buddha's palm, it was shaped after one of Zhou Fan's body parts. Of course, it was the finger.
When he used the Dao finger, it would add many different elements onto it and cause an immense, but focused, destructive power.
Although he added all the elements he knew of, he didn't mix them. Instead, they were patched together like cloth. If he mixed them altogether, the result would be Chaos Qi. Since he already had a move that used it, he needed to create non world destroying moves. Moves that he could use against people weaker than him.
Naturally, that was for the future. Since there were no other cultivators, besides the ones he taught, there was no one to use these moves against.
The next martial art he created was 'Lightning Dragon'. Although he had previously used this to destroy a volcano, that was a messy and less advanced version of this technique.
Now, it was much bigger and much stronger.
Finally, he created a defensive spell. He called it 'Impenetrable Bubble'.
Although it wasn't literally a bubble, it was see-through and only slightly tinted yellow.
When he used the move, a giant dome would cover the area he targeted. After further thought, he changed it into a sphere so that an underground attack wouldn't be able to break through the bottom.
Now that he had these martial arts, Zhou Fan considered creating a school. Naturally, it would be a cultivation school.
He had hesitated at the thought for a while, but the thought of being the sole cultivator sounded extremely boring.
From what he could tell, he was extremely talented compared to others. At least, none of the race's rulers or the beasts could match up to him.
At the very least, having some competition would give him some motivation. However, without his assistance, nobody would be able to cultivate.
Although there was the issue of Qi, he could create a formation for that now.
Before doing all that, however, he chose to first go back to the cave. Although the rulers weren't talented with cultivation, there might be some members that have a bit of talent.
He also needed a location. There, he could build a big school that can house the greatest talents of the world.
Unfortunately, all of that sounded extremely tedious for the current Zhou Fan. As such, he decided to first break through to the next realm before starting a school.
Since he was already at a nice place, Zhou Fan didn't bother going to another place in order to cultivate. Instead, he crossed his legs where he was and began.
After a month, Zhou Fan broke into the second level of soul formation. Although he frowned at the speed, it was reasonable enough. After 2 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the third level.
It seemed that it would take a good while to break through the levels. In the end, he decided against going back to the cave to tell them about his absence.
Zhou Fan estimated that it would only take him 5 years to break into the next level.
As he cultivated, he could sense the continous growth of the soul. Zhou Fan could tell that once he was done with this realm, he would have a perfect body, mind, and soul.
It took him another 3 months to break into the 4th level. As he did so, he became confident that he could destroy an entire kingdom with Chaos buddha's palm.
Another 4 months passed and Zhou Fan broke into the 5th level. As he had cultivated, some explorers climbed the peak he was at, and Zhou Fan gently sent them down. He also used his new martial art, impenetrable bubble, to form a dome so that no more intruders could disturb him. Luckily, maintaining the bubble didn't take any concentration.
After 5 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the 6th level. Compared to the previous level, he felt he was at least 20 times stronger. During the entirety of soul formation, his power had been shooting up exponentially. At this point, he could destroy half an empire with Chaos Buddha's palm.
After 6 more months, Zhou Fan broke into the 7th level. By now, he was confident in destroying 5 empires if they were side by side.
As he continued, nothing disrupted him or caused an unusual event. Zhou Fan had absolutely no worries as he cultivated on.
