Chapter 243: Rewards - 243
Pangu tried to look around for his old axe, but it had disappeared. It had likely broken after shouldering the burden of Pangu's last attack.
Pangu shrugged and inwardly hoped that the new axe in front of him was better.
He bent over and picked up the axe. It was a lot heavier than his last axe, but that was to be expected due to its size.
Although he didn't know much about weapon forging, Pangu had a feeling that this axe was much better than his old one.
In order to test it out, Pangu ran his finger over the sharp part of the axe.
In an instant, it broke through his skin and a drop of blood fell onto the axe. After coming in contact with the blood, the axe began to emit a green glow.
Pangu was nearly blinded for a moment, but the axe's glow quickly calmed down.
Immediately, Pangu could feel a connection with the axe. It was as if it was a part of him.
After swinging the axe a few times inside the cave, Pangu nodded. It was many times better than his old axe. As expected from such a mystical trial.
After getting used to his axe, Pangu bent over and picked up the pamphlet. As he lifted it off the ground, he saw a ring under it.
Pangu had never seen such a thing, but he picked it up and wore it before going through the pamphlet.
On one side, there was a picture of a green axe on the top half and a picture of the ring he had picked up on the bottom half.
Underneath those pictures were explanations of what the axe and the ring were.
The pamphlet stated that the axe was a growth weapon, something that would grow stronger as Pangu did. All it needed was a drop of blood, which it had coincidentally got.
The pamphlet even stated that, if Pangu willed it, the axe would grow in size as he did.
Pangu once again nodded his head as he realized how good the axe actually was.
Below the picture of the ring, there was an explanation that shocked him more than the axe.
Apparently, the ring was called a spatial ring. It contained a separate space that could be used to store anything that wasn't living. Any item that could be put inside would need to be light enough to be lifted by Pangu.
Pangu felt more excited about the ring than the axe, although the axe could easily be considered a greater reward.
Just as Pangu was about to leave the cave, he remembered that he saw some words on the other side of the pamphlet and flipped it over.
On the top of the pamphlet was a picture of a spider-like creature with yellow eyes covering its entire body.
As Pangu read it, he learned that it was named, "The All".
Apparently, it was a beast that currently only existed at the foundation establishment realm, causing its abilities to be severely limited.
According to the pamphlet, at a level that it could display its full power, it could slow down and speed up time by many more times than it had shown in the trial.
Its speed up ability would only work on its own body, but it could release a domain of time that slowed down anything, including itself.
There was also one more ability, and just reading about it was enough to terrify Pangu.
Once it reached an extremely high cultivation realm, it would be able to see parts of the near future. Due to the future never being set in stone, it would see thousands of possible futures, allowing it to make the best move, even if it can only see a few seconds into the future.
As he learned about the ability, Pangu also learned a bit of how time worked.
'It seems that there is no such thing as a single, set in stone future, and any action could create a new future. While the all's ability sure sounds overpowered, it cannot be considered unstoppable.' Pangu thought.
In other words, the future was a nearly pointless concept to consider. It would take someone incredibly powerful to actually see a true future, if there even was such a thing.
As for the idea of time travel, such a thing was ridiculous.
Zhou Fan had thought of it, and if he was right, one would need the power to create an entirely new existence in order to do such a thing.
Going back in time was simply impossible.
After finishing the pamphlet, Pangu sighed. It seemed he was right to guess that there was a wider universe.
He was only glad that the all was likely to be some powerful beings experiment. That was what he was able to guess from the words.
If such beings were able to freely run rampant and reproduce, nobody would stand a chance.
Now finished with his trip, Pangu stuffed the pamphlet and his axe in his spatial ring and walked back to the fiendcelestial village.
The journey was short and the mountain climb was treacherous, and Pangu got home safely.
Without making any pit stops, he entered the house and began to cultivate.
After 5 weeks, he reached the sixth level. After 6 weeks, he reached the seventh level.
After six months, he reached the tenth level of the foundation establishment realm.
As soon as he did, he walked towards Dave's house. He kept the axe in his spatial ring as he knew Dave would fight with his fists.
Pangu stopped in front of Dave's door and banged on it with his fists. His fists rang after that, but he ignored the pain and stepped back.
"Took you long enough. I broke through yesterday and was expecting you to already come." Dave said as he walked through his door.
Although he spoke calmly, fire Qi was already covering his fists.
Pangu and Dave ran towards each other, Pangu jumping in the air and coming down with force as Dave let out a punch.
Chapter 244: Break Time - 244
As their fists collided, Both were pushed back an equal distance. Pangu had a couple of burns, but he was relatively fine.
Both of them charged towards each other once again. This time, Pangu covered his fist with Fiend Qi.
In response, Dave did the same, adding the Fiend Qi to his fire Qi. As they collided again, Dave was pushed back a few more steps than Pangu was.
The outcome of the second clash was something they were both surprised at. It was even more surprising when one realized that Pangu wasn't using two affinities.
While he did have another affinity besides Fiend Qi, he was unable to use it in any good capacity at his current strength. That was also why he had omitted it during his fight with the all.
It was known as Sky Qi, but not that much was known about it by anyone besides Pangu. It was one of the rarer Qi's that did not follow a standard scale.
It was most closely related to wind Qi.
Before the cultivation reset, it had allowed him to fly much faster than anyone else and it also displayed a special strength when using his final move, SKY breaker.
Obviously, the sky part was named after his affinity.
When Sky Qi is added into the sky breaker, it ruptures everything near it as if the sky is falling down.
Unfortunately, it was unable to show any of its strength until the core formation realm when Pangu can fly.
Even then, he will have to wait until the nascent soul realm before it is able to be used in the sky breaker attack due to unknown reasons.
As the fight progressed, the playing field eventually evened out. Dave had still been unused to the foundation establishment realms power, but as the fight progressed, he got more used to it.
Before the cultivation reset, he had been the fiendcelestial with the greatest battle experience, which only added to his current combat power.
In the end, they tied again. It would take a while before Pangu could overwhelm Dave due to his battle experience.
Although Pangu walked back to his house disappointed, Dave was actually angry.
Although it had been closer to a casual spar than a full on battle, he should have won with ease.
Dave retreated into his house with humiliation apparent on his face. Luckily, there was nobody else to witness the battle besides Pangu.
As Pangu began to cultivate once again, Zhou Fan took a look at the rest of the galaxy.
Although it somewhat felt like a good amount of time had passed since he started observing Pangu, it had been less than a year.
As far as the galaxy was concerned, that was about equivalent to the time it took to sneeze. In other words, nothing had changed and nothing important happened.
After taking another glance at Pangu, Zhou Fan recalled the rules he had set in place. Due to Pangu's talent exceeding the maximum, his cultivation speed would once again be limited at 1 month per level.
That meant that, from the 1st level to the 2nd level of core formation would take Pangu 1 month. From 2 to 3, 2 months, and so on. Going from the 1st level to the 2nd was actually faster than going from the 5th level of foundation establishment to the 6th.
It was quite weird and unnatural, but cultivation speed was not supposed to be naturally suppressed regardless.
Assuming that Pangu would stop at the 5th level before going out exploring again and adding the time it would take to go from the 10th level of foundation establishment to the 1st level of core formation, Zhou Fan had a year and four months of free time.
That amount of time was not enough to do anything substantially important, so Zhou Fan thought of something unimportant to do. He could just silently watch Pangu, but that would unnecessarily waste time.
Zhou Fan thought of a bunch of things, but he eventually remembered the time when he had sat in the middle of a river on the Plant world. That period of time was pleasant and relaxing.
'I would like to do that again.' Zhou Fan said to himself.
Naturally, the best place to do that would be the elf world. It had the best nature, which included bodies of water.
Zhou Fan casually traveled to the elf world and reached it in around an hour. Since he had free time, he took his time on his journey.
As he reached the elf world, he cut off his senses and randomly let himself fall down. He only reactivated his senses after thirty minutes had passed.
As he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was in a crater. Naturally, it had been caused by his heavy body.
His weight had never stopped increasing as he broke through, and he had to use a fair, yet miniscule amount of Qi to limit it.
Despite limiting his weight, he was still able to create a sizeable crater.
Before doing anything else, Zhou Fan limited his divine sense so that he could enjoy his break time more.
It was limited to ten feet around him. Although the ground technically limited divine sense, Zhou Fans was so powerful that it easily passed through it. Zhou Fan didn't even need to put any sort of effort in.
Zhou Fan eventually got off of his back and walked up the side of the crater. Due to him limiting his weight, it was only ten feet deep and twenty feet wide.
As he exited the crater, he noticed two things. One, he was on elevated ground, most likely a hill of some sort, and two, there was a village not too far from him and there seemed to be a group of people walking towards him.
They had likely been attracted by the sound of his impact with the ground.
"Great. People." He grumbled to himself before walking out of the crater.
The elf group was only a mile or so away, and it seemed they would reach his location in around 15 - 20 minutes.
Although he could have gone somewhere else, Zhou Fan decided to go with the flow for the next year and 4 months.
