Chapter 367: Teleportation Art: Replacement - 367
The building was very big. Bigger than an entire city. Despite its size, there were only a few teleportation arrays.
"Although construction is complete, we have only added 5 teleportation arrays. One in each of the four directions of the galaxy: East, South, West, and North, and one that leads just outside of the cosmic sect." Ying Xiong explained.
"If you look underneath the building, you'll see an uncountable number of spirit stones. Those are a temporary power source until I manage to set up a greater one." Ying Xiong explained.
His words lead Zhou Fan to thinking. Spirit stones, although they had begun to naturally form on almost all planets, were essentially useless for stronger cultivators.
Even as simply money, they could no longer be used in transactions, especially between those above the space shattering realm.
Zhou Fan made a mental note to create a new type of spirit stones in the future.
"The teleportation hub will be especially useful in the future due to how spread out galaxies are now." Ying Xiong added.
Zhou Fan stopped and thought for a moment, before deciding that it wouldn't hurt him to help Ying Xiong.
He did not need much time. He connected to his mortal dao and created 3 teleportation arrays leading to the silver river galaxy cluster, the tree-like galaxy cluster, and the Zhou Galaxy.
He placed all three in the teleportation hub.
"There you go. I expect that plaque to be pristine and constantly clean." Zhou Fan said.
Ying Xiong nodded, happy that he did not need to make a long journey.
"As for a power source, you can figure out that yourself. I can't do everything for you." Zhou Fan said.
"I know. Most of the Qi cost will be paid by the people who use them anyway. Still, we will be making a great profit no matter what." Ying Xiong said.
Zhou Fan did not know how he planned to get money since spirit stones were useless to Ying Xiong, but he just assumed he was thinking about items or techniques.
"Oh right." Zhou Fan said before grabbing inside his separate space and pulling out a large piece of paper.
"Here's a map of the universe. Though most of it remains unexplored, I know the size and have divided up the sections. Feel free to make this common knowledge." Zhou Fan said.
Ying Xiong looked at the map, and stood stunned for a while.
"I think I'll just make a map of a single filament public. If people see how big the universe truly is, they may begin to despair." Ying Xiong said.
Anyone who dreamed of reaching the peak, even Ying Xiong himself, would feel a bit disheartened at seeing just how far away they were.
"I understand. It's up to you." Zhou Fan said.
Once Zhou Fan was finished touring the teleportation hub, Ying Xiong brought him back to the cosmic sect.
"It's been a while, but can I request that you spar with everyone and give them some pointers?" Ying Xiong asked.
"I don't mind, I'm not exactly in a rush." Zhou Fan said.
Ying Xiong nodded and ran off to collect everyone in the cosmic sect. Meanwhile, Zhou Fan went to the eastern side of the galaxy.
Everyone in the cosmic sect had long reached the void traversing realm, so there would be no issue fighting in space.
Although space was becoming stronger, Zhou Fan made sure that the first layer could always be shattered by a space shattering cultivator.
Otherwise, the space shattering realm would be reduced to an empty name.
Before long, Zhou Fan was staring at multiple people.
"All those below the inner world realm, come at me now." Zhou Fan said.
Many of the new disciples charged towards Zhou Fan at the same time. He limited his cultivation to the peak of the lesser dao creation realm, but none of them could match him.
For people who qualified to enter the cosmic sect, reaching the lesser dao creation realm was no issue, and each of them were in that realm.
After around 5 minutes, the group of beaten and bruised disciples moved away. Despite being injured, they were all clearly excited. Zhou Fan's casual pointers would help them a lot.
They were also eagerly waiting for everyone else to be beat up.
"Feng Liu, Lu Zhong, both of you attack at the same time." Zhou Fan said as he increased his cultivation from the peak of the lesser dao creation realm to the 1st level of the inner world realm.
They did not hesitate, and immediately attacked at the same time.
Zhou Fan condensed a ruler from sword Qi and moved forward. Feng Liu waved her fan, and millions of tiny icicles were launched at Zhou Fan.
"Sloppy. The range is too large. Are your eyes working? Do you see multiple of me?" Zhou Fan asked.
He then waved the ruler. It cut through space and slapped Feng Liu's wrist.
By that time, Lu Zhong was stabbing his spear at Zhou Fan's side.
Zhou Fan easily moved the ruler next to the spear's tip and casually moved it away.
"Are you holding back because I'm your uncle, or did you simply forget to practice with your spear?" Zhou Fan mocked.
Before he even realized what happened, a red mark in the shape of a rectangle appeared on Lu Zhong's face, knocking him backwards.
Although Feng Liu and Lu Zhong treated Zhou Fan as their uncle, they were truly enraged at the moment.
Lu Zhong charged forward, stars covering his body, while Feng Liu raised her fan and held it so that the edge was facing Zhou Fan.
Stars began to revolve around her body, as well as her fan.
She swung down, and a blade of ice surrounded by rotating stars fell onto Zhou Fan.
At the same time, Lu Zhong was closing in fast.
Zhou Fan sneered. "You two have only fought straightforward opponents in your life. It's about time that you fight someone with tricks up their sleeve."
In the next second, Zhou Fan disappeared and reappeared where Lu Zhong had been standing.
Likewise, Lu Zhong appeared where Zhou Fan had been standing.
He looked up and hurriedly blocked the attack with a spear thrust covered in rotating stars.
"Teleportation art: replacement." Zhou Fan said as the two attacks clashed.
Chapter 368: Beating Up Students - 368
Lu Zhong was knocked back and injured due to Feng Liu's attack. He had not been prepared and had not had enough time to mount an adequate defense.
Feng Liu quickly turned around to see Zhou Fan approaching. She did not have any time to worry about Lu Zhong.
With her fan, she blasted out a wave of icicles, but Zhou Fan disappeared and reappeared right next to her.
Her fan, on the other hand, appeared where Zhou Fan had been.
"It doesn't just work on living beings. Isn't it truly magical?" Zhou Fan questioned as he kicked Feng Liu in the face, softly of course.
In those brief moments, Lu Zhong had gotten back up and silently attacked Zhou Fan from behind.
Zhou Fan used the teleportation art: replacement on Lu Zhongs spear, but he had expected such a thing and punched with his fist.
Zhou Fan once again disappeared, and Lu Zhong's fist punched his spear.
Lu Zhong clenched his teeth in pain as his fist turned red.
He turned to look at Zhou Fan, but all he saw was a piece of familiar looking hair. He was then hit in the back of the neck and fell unconscious.
Although using the teleportation art: replacement on a strand of hair would not usually work, Zhou Fan had cut it off of Lu Zhong's head before, making it a separate object. Otherwise, Lu Zhong's entire body would have been replaced with Zhou Fan's.
Feng Liu was the only one left, but Zhou Fan just picked her up and threw her away. She had already been defeated.
Zhou Fan smacked his hands and called Tong up. Tong was nervous, and his fears were right.
When he walked back to the group of spectators, he had a black eye and a fat lip.
"What a bully." He mumbled under his breath as he sat down.
Hei Ren came up next. Zhou Fan was looking forward to his disciple's strength. Although Zhou Fan had taught him a lot, he had made sure that Hei Ren knew the importance of self creation.
Although he had shown some to Zhou Fan, Hei Ren should have already created many of his own techniques.
As Hei Ren walked up to Zhou Fan, his body blurred before disappearing entirely. This was his divine physique.
Zhou Fan called it the invisibility divine physique, although the true name would be made by Hei Ren.
Zhou Fan's cultivation had been suppressed to the same level as Hei Ren's, the 3rd level of the inner world realm.
Due to that, even he could not sense Hei Ren, normally of course. If he truly tried, he would probably be able to, but he was simply sparring. It would be good to give Hei Ren the upper hand.
As Zhou Fan thought to himself, he suddenly moved to the left. Although he could not see Hei Ren, he had felt the hair on his body get touched, and instinctually moved.
While Hei Ren's divine physique would stop someone's sight, hearing, and smelling from sensing him, his attacks could still be felt, as could his body.
Zhou Fan shot a water whip at the spot he had been standing at, but Hei Ren had already moved.
As Hei Ren was indeed Zhou Fan's apprentice, Zhou Fan already knew how to completely counter Hei Ren's divine physique.
A bubble of water expanded out from his body and covered the entire area.
Hei Ren appeared outside the bubble and looked in.
"Cheater." He said before disappearing again.
Despite countering Hei Ren's divine physique, Zhou Fan did not expect victory to be achieved so easily.
If Hei Ren only had an invisibility divine physique, then Zhou Fan would have never accepted him as a disciple.
Invisibility was a terrifying power, but it was not the most terrifying power that Hei Ren held.
At the same time, 6 swirling dots of blackness appeared in the 6 directions of the water bubble.
All the water began to be sucked into the black holes at a fast pace.
Naturally, Zhou Fan was not going to sit and watch. He pointed his finger and a cage of light appeared, covering a black hole. He pointed his finger 5 more times quickly, and all the suction force coming from the black holes had stopped.
"Black holes are the natural nemesis of light, and as a result, they are both strong and weak against each other." Zhou Fan said to his disciple.
"Unfortunately for you, I have more Qi than you. After all, your divine physique takes quite the hefty price." Zhou Fan said.
As if agreeing with his statement, the black holes disappeared and the cages of light collapsed.
Hei Ren appeared far away again. "You're really not even going to let me use my strongest attack." He stated before disappearing.
"This is a real fight. I've shown leniency so far in order to see what you can do, and now it's time to suppress you." Zhou Fan said as he pushed his hands together.
"Pay attention, you should learn something." He said.
Then, a black hole extended from his body and grew quickly, covering the entire battlefield.
Although Hei Ren could not be seen or heard, he could be felt. Zhou Fan connected his senses to the black hole he created, and instantly found Hei Ren.
Zhou Fan disappeared, and an invisible Hei Ren appeared where he had stood.
"I'll steal your technique since you wanted to show it off so badly." Zhou Fan said.
The usually indifferent Hei Ren's eyes widened in horror as the black hole collapsed and exploded with a force that Hei Ren could not even begin to handle.
As a last resort, his body turned into what appeared to be black ink and fell down, disappearing.
His body shot up behind Zhou Fan, leaping out of his shadow, before a hand grabbed his neck and kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the spectators location.
Zhou Fan's gaze found Pangu, and his finger gestured for him to come over.
