Fang Xingjian's silhouette flashed, and he first met up with Urbien in the high-dimensional space-time.
Urbien seemed to have already noticed Fang Xingjian's changes. His high-dimensional senses could completely see through the changes in Fang Xingjian's martial art projection. It was just that he had not revealed this to the Silver Mage King and the Prince.
Seeing that Fang Xingjian had come looking for him, Fang Xingjian asked, "Isn't your martial will … a little too strong?"
Although he was unable to detect the full powers of Fang Xingjian's high-dimensional body, just the waves that Fang Xingjian's martial art projection were already enough to make Urbien, who had high-dimensional sensory abilities, feel extremely astonished.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "It's just a little improvement. I came here because I want to learn about mass-energy conversion and quantum foam from you. "
Urbien used mass-energy conversion to fend off black holes and used quantum foam to traverse the universe. These were all abilities that Fang Xingjian valued very highly.
"If you're willing to teach me, just state your conditions. I'll agree to anything that I can do."
However, after hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Urbien let out a mysterious smile. Under Fang Xingjian's puzzled gaze, he sighed and said, "As the saying goes, those who are closely involved can't see clearly. This is probably what it means. Fang Xingjian, haven't you realized it yet? "
"Realized what?" Fang Xingjian asked with a frown.
Urbien said, "The speed of your advancement, the increase in your realm, and the increase in your battle prowess … They're getting increasingly faster than before. Haven't you realized it?"
Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned, and the situation of his cultivation over the past four years immediately flashed in his mind.
From being a Knight apprentice to becoming a second transition Knight, tier one of the Divine level, tier six of the Divine level, and even high-dimensional sword arts and the Royal Heavenly Great Art … Not only did his cultivation speed not decrease as the difficulty increased, but it also got increasingly faster.
However, it was not as if there were no explanations for these. Other than his talent, there were also mystical prints, martial will, technological information, the Nine-Tiered Heavens, and many other things that could assist his cultivation.
"But …" Fang Xingjian looked at his own body and a glint of light flashed across his eyes. "Could it be …"
"Your aptitude, no … not only your aptitude, but also your luck and destiny. It seems to be getting stronger at every moment. This makes your cultivation speed faster and faster. It's like a rolling snowball, constantly accelerating." Urbien's gaze seemed to pierce through the nine hells, seeing the changes in countless timelines.
"I've observed this situation for a long time. This is also the reason why I'm working with you."
Listening to Urbien's words, Fang Xingjian felt more confident. He thought to himself, 'As I get closer to the day of my death, my aptitude continues to rise? So the closer I am to death, the stronger I become? "
At this moment, Fang Xingjian felt an extreme sense of irony. It was as if a demonic god was playing a joke on him.
Didn't he want to break free from the control of others? Didn't he want to become increasingly stronger and stop his own destiny?
Then the closer he was to death, the stronger he would become. However, no matter how strong he became, he would always fail and eventually die at the moment when he was the most powerful. How ironic was this?
Suddenly, the image of his mother, Fang Yueru, flashed across his mind. They were both geniuses, and their cultivation speed had also gotten increasingly faster. She had also died at an early age, dying an unnatural death. This caused Fang Xingjian to frown deeply.
Urbien continued, "It's even hard for me to evaluate your current aptitude. It's no longer just aptitude, but a combination of fate, karma, probabilities, and space-time."
A person's cultivation outcome was not only related to their aptitude. It was also related to their background, legacies, luck, character, and even a small choice.
In Urbien's opinion, Fang Xingjian's current aptitude was no longer as simple as just aptitude. He was continuously improving in almost all the areas that were beneficial to his cultivation.
"Haven't you noticed? You've actually already learned about mass-energy conversion and quantum foam … "
Fang Xingjian was stunned for a moment. He recalled the various scenes, information, and data when Urbien performed these two moves.
…
Simultaneously, the Silver Mage King stood on a snowy peak in the north. Several thousand spheres kept on spinning around behind him. He looked toward the sky, seeming to see through the atmospheric layer and see the changes in the Nine-Tiered Heavens.
"What on earth are your plans?"
A short moment later, a voice rang out behind the Silver Mage King, "Senior Mage King, how have you been?"
The Silver Mage King turned and saw a silver-haired young man standing behind him with a smile. It was Wei Jin, the young man who had exchanged blows with the Silver Mage King on the Morning Star.
Looking at the young man, the Silver Mage King asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Jin shrugged. "Senior, why do you have to ask a question you already know the answer to? Do you still remember the question I asked on the Morning Star? What's Senior's answer? "
The Silver Mage King's eyes narrowed slightly, took a long look at Wei Jin, and said, "If it's really as you say, then I'll really have to take a good look."
Wei Jin smiled, and a huge golden door suddenly appeared behind him. It then opened up, and he turned to invite, "Senior, please."
The Silver Mage King threw a glance toward the golden door and walked in expressionlessly. Wei Jin followed closely behind him, and a short moment later, the door closed and then disappeared.
Another Silver Mage King appeared at the spot where the Silver Mage King had been standing. Clearly, the one who had just stepped through the golden door was just a clone.
This was very normal. Faced with the invitation of an unfathomable and extremely mysterious influence, it was impossible for him to casually descend with his main body.
Looking at the slowly disappearing golden door, the Silver Mage King mumbled, "The Saint Association … I hope it won't disappoint me …"
…
In the Empire's Eastern Sand Region …
Three Demigod Level powerhouses wearing uniforms and bloody capes streaked across the sky at high speed, dragging three long air currents behind them.
A small town at the borders appeared before them in the blink of an eye.
This small town by the name of Gold Mountain Town had once prospered because of the gold mines. Countless miners, bandits, big companies, prostitutes, gold diggers, and many other people had gathered here.
However, as the gold mines dried up, the population here decreased, and the once prosperous town became dilapidated.
The three Demigods in the sky had come here because of a murder case.
One month ago, the town's mayor had sent out a letter requesting for help. A massacre had happened there, and everyone in the town was in a state of panic. Therefore, they requested for the Knights from the nearby Yellow Sand City to assist in the investigation.
One week later, five Knights were sent to the town and then lost contact with them.
Yellow Sand City then sent out another ten Knights and one Conferred Knight, but they still lost contact with them.
Although the Empire was currently at its peak and the Sand Country, plains, and many island countries in the Western Sea were all shrewd and a tremendous amount of resources were imported into the country through trade, and the number of Knights was increasing, the disappearance of a Conferred Knight was still a major matter.
The City Lord sensed that something was wrong and immediately reported it to the Eastern Sand Region's regional government.
Therefore, this time around, a total of three Demigod experts came to the Gold Mountain Town to investigate the situation.
