Chapter 177: Understanding of Creation - 177
After what felt like both an eternity and an instant, Zhou Fan's vision returned. He felt an immense amount of power flowing through his veins. It wasn't that his cultivation had become stronger, but he could now do many things he hadn't been able to before.
As for what exactly he could do now, Zhou Fan was about to test it out. Far in the past he remembered creating a wooden cage for a snake, but that snake escaped because he couldn't truly create wood from nothing but wood Qi.
Zhou Fan moved his arm outwards with his palm facing upward. On it, a wooden cage slowly formed. It was an exact copy of the cage he had made that day. This time, however, it was true wood. It would last nearly forever.
It would last until it decayed from erosion, and since it was made out of Zhou Fans wood Qi and was much more powerful than any other wood in the universe, it would take billions, if not trillions of years to erode away.
That was the power that comprehending the immortal level elements gave him. He could now truly create something from nothing but himself and his power.
Along with his new power, he felt something else. It wasn't technically something gained from reaching 100% comprehension in immortal level elements, but something gained from having the power to truly create.
Zhou Fan understood true creation. Although he was still unable to create life from non-life, this understanding allowed him insight into all of the creation he had encountered. More specifically, the life.
He understood the limits of normal life, cultivator or not, that he had surpassed. For example, even if a normal cultivator reached the god realm, they would never be able to comprehend the immortal level elements to 100%. In fact, they would be lucky to reach 10%.
Zhou Fan was special, and in more than one way. With his understanding of creation, he knew that it wasn't only chaos Qi that made him who he was, but also something else.
He had only seen it once before despite all the life he had encountered. A divine physique. It was the main reason why he didn't have meridians, but could still cultivate. He realized he had the ability to name the physique since it had never existed and would likely never exist again.
He decided to name it simply, 'Chaos Physique'. It wasn't fancy or flashy, but the name fit its use.
Zhou Fan wasn't sure exactly what it did, but he knew that it acted as if his entire body was meridians, and without any negative side effects.
Yet another use of his understanding of creation was the ability to tell the lifespans of other things, besides himself. It wasn't really a magical ability that predicted when someone would die, but when someone's natural lifespan would end. In other words, it could tell the age that someone would die of old age at.
Now, he knew the lifespans of cultivators at different realms. A void traversing cultivator could live for ten millions years. A space shattering cultivator could live for 500 million years. A lesser Dao creation realm cultivator could live for five billion years. Finally, an inner world cultivator could live for an astonishing 100 billion years.
As for a god realm cultivator like himself, he could only tell that he would find out when he broke through to the next realm.
That seemed to be it for the understanding of creation that he had obtained besides the increased clarity he had gained, but that wasn't really special. It just seemed like he had polished his eyes so that he could see clearer.
Although he had finished with the things obtained from his understanding of creation, he was nowhere near finished with what he had obtained by reaching 100% comprehension in the immortal level elements. Although he hadn't obtained another new power, the rainbow tunnel had opened his horizons. He realized just how many different Qi's there were.
He had been under the assumption that he knew every Qi for the longest time, but he was now going to try again.
Zhou Fan sat down in his spot in space and started to increase the power of the space surrounding him. If he didn't, his experiment may be disastrous. He took special care and used all his might to strengthen the space before finally being ready. Every millimeter of space around him for 100 light years was strengthened.
Only then did he produce a bit of chaos Qi. It had been a while since he had used it in fear of accidentally breaking through the final layer of space, but as long as he didn't try and use it to attack, he should be perfectly fine.
Once he had the Chaos Qi floating above his palm, he closed his eyes and began to try and find insight into the various Qi's he had missed last time.
He used the myriad of colors in the rainbow tunnel as he tried to create new Qi's. After just a day, he had created a new Qi that he had missed a long time ago. He called it golden blood Qi.
There were many weird types of Qi, but not a single person could say that there was not a right Qi for a certain situation. From demonic buddha Qi to poop Qi, there was absolutely everything. In a year, Zhou Fan had discovered about 365 different Qi's.
In a hundred years, he had discovered 36,500 different Qi's, with each one being weirder than the last. He spent a long amount of time comprehending the new Qi's. Although progress slowed down as he moved on, he still spent only ten thousand years to truly master all of the Qi's. He wasn't quite sure how many Qi's he had learned, but it was surely in the millions.
He had spent a long time doing that, but he didn't feel tired or fatigued at all. In fact, he hadn't felt so energetic in a while.
Next, for the first time in a long time, he wanted to test out his martial arts.
Chapter 178: Testing Martial Arts - 178
Although he obviously couldn't use chaos Qi or moves that required chaos Qi, he could still test out his other moves. If he was still within his galaxy, he wouldn't have even dared to consider it. In the vastness of the universe, however, there was plenty of space to test out his strength and martial arts.
He didn't plan on doing it within the silver river galaxy cluster, so he started to fly away at his top speed. After a couple thousand years, he left the silver river galaxy cluster.
Surprisingly, he didn't leave through the entrance of the river, but the exit. If he moved forward, he would not reach the area between the three galaxy clusters, but a whole new section of the universe.
He still wasn't ready to go to another galaxy cluster since he didn't feel like wasting too much time unnecessarily, but he planned on leaving the silver river galaxy cluster far behind him when he tested his moves out.
Zhou Fan proceeded to fly into an extremely empty and silent part of the universe for ten thousand years before he finally stopped. The silver river galaxy was now extremely far behind him, and he had reached a point so silent and cold that it felt like his cultivation spot in between the galaxy clusters.
That didn't mean that if he flew out he would find a better spot, however. A big part of the peacefulness of his spot between the galaxies was the fact that the three galaxy clusters he had essentially made his own were surrounding him. That way, he could keep watch over all of his creations.
Also, it would be harder for an area to naturally be colder and more silent than his spot.
Now that he was far away from the three galaxy clusters, Zhou Fan took a look ahead at the endless universe. Within his vision, there were hundreds of galaxy clusters and thousands of other space things. It was a better sight than he had ever seen before. There were many colors and shapes that he had never seemed to think of.
Zhou Fan quickly snapped out of it and got prepared to test his martial arts out. It had been a while since just about everything he had encountered was either so weak that he could deal with it without any sort of effort, or so strong that even the greatest martial art wouldn't make a difference.
He was truly an unlucky person. He thought for a while and decided that his favorite move would be the best to use first.
Zhou Fan held his palm out in front of him and uttered a phrase. "Buddha's Palm."
As he said those words and moved his Qi, a giant palm made up of buddhist Qi descended upon the universe. It was big enough to completely cover hundreds of galaxies side by side, but it seemed much less domineering in the middle of nowhere. Still, the buddha's palm shook and broke space down to its final layer with ease.
Since the martial art didn't have any chaos Qi, the final layer held up against the buddha's palm with absolute ease. After moving for a while, the palm dispersed.
Zhou Fan was extremely satisfied with the result of his martial art. If there was anything around to destroy, then the move would have been much more impactful. Sadly, he had chosen the middle of nowhere. Although he knew his decision was the best, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Zhou Fan thought of the next move he was going to do. He remembered the Buddha's palm with chaos Qi, but he obviously couldn't do that. With his current strength, he would probably rip a hole in the final layer of space as big as the buddha's palm.
Ignoring the Chaos buddha's palm, Zhou Fan remembered the yellow piercing sword finger. It was quite a simple move that didn't rely on any special Qi and could be easily changed according to his wishes.
He decided against that, however, and simply used light Qi and yellow Qi to form it. Zhou Fan pointed two of his fingers towards a random direction, and what looked like a piece of the top section of a normal sword formed from light Qi and yellow Qi.
"Yellow piercing sword finger." Zhou Fan said before releasing the martial art. It moved at an incredible speed and pierced all the layers of space without making any sort of big commotion. If not for his powerful eyes, the yellow piercing sword finger would have been perfectly hidden behind every layer of space besides the final one.
If someone were to be an assassin and have this martial art, they may become invincible. Of course, Zhou Fan didn't plan on passing his move down any time soon. He couldn't recall if he ever put his moves in the Huang Long academies library or not, but they were surely gone by now even if he did.
Eventually, the yellow piercing sword finger stopped moving forward and dispersed. In the short span of an hour it had existed, it moved past millions of light years.
Zhou Fan was under the impression that it was his fastest martial art.
Next, Zhou Fan remembered a move he called the dao finger. It was probably the most powerful among his moves, although it wasn't his favorite. It combined his understanding of the dao, his understanding of the elements, and the power of his Qi into one giant finger. The finger crushed anything in its path and moved at fairly fast speeds.
With his new upgrades and understandings in both the Dao's and the elements, along with the large amount of Qi's he had discovered, he was sure that he would be able to exert a power incomparable to before.
Not wasting any time, Zhou Fan pointed his finger out into space, at a different direction than the yellow piercing sword finger and the buddha's palm went.
He gathered his understanding of the Dao's, both cosmic and mortal, the elements, both mortal and immortal, and his overall power onto his finger and pushed it forward.
