Chapter 740: The Convergence Of Paths

Three days had passed.

Fang Ning had a sacred look about him. His whole body was enveloped in steam and his soul seemed corporeal.

He suddenly opened his eyes and said wanly, “Now I understand. Burp…”

He had an ethereal aura, not unlike a wise, learned man. However, it was the sound of burping that shattered all manner of elegance about him.

“What? You’re just stuffed. To think I was ecstatic for a minute…” Sir System remarked sheepishly.

“Rubbish… Burp.” Fang Ning burped again and hastily defended himself. “I did finally understand the quintessence of the Lake level. I was about to achieve a breakthrough.”

“Don’t bullsh*t me. Even if you really were about to achieve a breakthrough, it was all because you’ve been gorging on my pills for the past three days. Heck, a pig could even reach that goal, and you want to talk about understanding the quintessence. You literally only achieved the Lake level by eating.” Sir System was not amused.

“Get lost! I meant what I said. For a system, you sure as hell are a windbag!” Fang Ning chided, and at the same time, his whole body shook and bright rays of light emitted from his eyes.

Following this, his physique grew enormously at once to about a hundred meters tall. If not for the System Space’s several renovations, it could not have fit him.

“What do you think, little System? I’ve achieved the Lake level, no?” Fang Ning gazed intently at the System Space as he strutted about and announced haughtily.

“Quit fooling around. Achieving the Lake level is not the end goal. The main objective is to understand the guide about the Convergence of Paths given by the River God…” Sir System replied scornfully.

“This time I’ll definitely understand it. I’ve already felt the pulses of the revolving of the Heavenly Axiom just now.” As Fang Ning spoke, his body shrank back to the size of a normal human being.

After that, he picked up the copy of “The Convergence Of Paths” and turned the pages impatiently.

“Yes, I do understand it all. It’s just like that, really simple…” He mumbled to himself.

He then began to read without the difficulty he experienced earlier.

“Huh, you can actually comprehend it?” Sir System was skeptical.

“It’s natural. The so-called Lake level refers to the ability to be fully in tune with heaven and earth and channel Vitality from our surroundings, unlike the Pond level with all of its restrictions. I can comprehend all of it at once.” Fang Ning replied confidently.

“Enough of this nonsense. Read it quickly, then.” Sir System goaded.

Of course, Fang Ning understood what mattered the most, so he read it carefully.

After comprehending it, he thoroughly understood how valuable the guide given by the River God was. In the Upper Realm, that was something that could not be attained even with the passing on of knowledge within Schools!

They would never pass on all of their knowledge to their students, but would just tell them some superficial tips for beginners. As for the actual method for the Convergence of Paths, unless one understood it on his own, it would be extremely difficult for one to learn it from his tutors.

After all, in this world, the number of grotto-heavens were few and far between. No one would train and produce a competitor…

The River God was indeed generous. Although he previously changed his plans and escaped at the last minute, presenting an opportunity to master this technique was his way of redeeming himself.

“Such loyalty displayed by the River God! He’s willing to share this technique with us. Not bad, not bad indeed. If it were another god, we’ll never get it.” Fang Ning sighed.

“We saved his life before. It’s not like he didn’t get any benefits this time. By controlling the River of Blood, he’ll get an endless supply of incense and believers.” Sir System was not convinced.

“You should be grateful. It’s good enough that others are willing to share this technique with us. Don’t be so fussy.” Fang Ning chided.

“I’ve never seen you being grateful towards me… I’ve given you so many martial arts techniques, but you only know how to boss me around all day. You are nice towards outsiders but mean towards your own kin.” Sir System nagged.

“…” This constant nagging made Fang Ning speechless.

Another three days have passed. All of a sudden, a blurry silhouette appeared in the sky above the Land of Sanguinity.

Next, the entire realm was struck by a strong vibration and shook.

“Hehe, looks like Venerable One has successfully converged the paths. This grotto-heaven has finally gotten a master.”

The River God of Sky River, who was splitting the river at the River of Blood, chuckled as he saw this.

“Yes, our previous ideas can become reality. Venerable One, please open the stationary portal to other planets. This would be very useful in the future, and it’s not only limited to locating Darklings of the Upper Realm.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King nodded.

He was also at the River of Blood. He was busy setting up a beautiful and serene garden near the river to provide a home for the newly reincarnated Spiritual Insects.

“Hehe, Your Divinities, this is an easy job, but to where would you like to direct this portal?” A voice resounded between the heavens and earth.

That was Vigilante A’s voice.

“Let’s head towards Mars. This planet is the most similar to Earth and it has a large area. Many experiments can be conducted there.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King thought for a while and made his decision.

“What Bodhisattva meant is, previously, the biggest problem that existed between Earth and Mars was the great distance. Spaceships from Earth took a very long time before reaching the planet, which translated to high costs and little value for development in this sector. If we have a portal to the realm, I believe with today’s technology, developing Mars will no longer be a distant dream.” The River God of the Sky River agreed heartily.

Of course, he hoped to develop Mars, as this meant that there would be more people, which would lead to more incense.

As the River God, he could take a bite out of the available benefits.

The population expansion could not be sustained by exhausting Vitality. Just like using magic to call upon the rain, there was a time where it needed to stop.

Anyone who knew the mighty beings could grasp this.

The reason for the massive exhaustion of Vitality in the Upper Realm was due to the spending of Vitality on unnecessary situations.

For instance, calling upon the wind and rain and healing the sick were all actions that could not be done by humans via their natural abilities. However, all of these issues were eventually resolved through magic.

As a result, this paved the way for unlimited exhaustion of Vitality and finally a lack of circulation. There was a huge correlation between this and the downfall of the Upper Realm.

“In that case, let’s open up a portal to Mars first. I went there once when I had to kill a demon.”

As soon as Vigilante A finished speaking, a gate of light appeared at the river bank.

A barren and lifeless place could be seen opposite the light gate. Yellowish dust drifted in the air and crushed bits of stone were strewn all over the place. Not a sight of greenery was to be seen and not a single drop of water could be found.

“It looks like developing this place will be no easy task, but this can boost the speed of technological advancement on Earth.” The Bodhisattva Spirit King declared in a serious tone.

“Who is more knowledgeable than me when it comes to researching techniques on Earth?” A voice boomed without warning.

That voice came from Black Robe, who had extremely keen senses. He immediately came here once he sensed that there were people within the grotto-heaven.

“Oh, it looks like all you middlemen in the Path of Demons also know how to do something righteous after all. Back in the Upper Realm, you didn’t do much of good things. Don’t tell me it has something to do with the water?” The River God of Sky River muttered.

“Hmph, back in the days of the Upper Realm, our territories were already occupied by all of you magical beings. What else could we do?” Black Robe sounded displeased.

“You’ve got a point. This land is vast. You don’t have to fight amongst yourselves. There are areas for all of you to display your skills.” Bodhisattva nodded in agreement.

With his refined personality, naturally, he would not mind the other individual’s ties to the Path of Demons as long as he did not do anything bad.
