Chapter 304: The Wonderful Use of Ability Crystals
Gu Fan took the crystal containing a spatial-type ability and returned to the cultivation world.
Here, there was complete spiritual energy and the laws of the Great Dao, making it far more suitable for his comprehension.
Thus, in the independent cabin on the immortal boat, he continuously meditated on the spatial-type crystal.
From the very first glance at the use of this spatial ability, for some reason, he felt something different, as if the Dao of Space contained within it was far simpler than that of the Void Fish!
Although both involved the principles of the Dao of Space, when he had previously tried to study the Void Fish, he could never grasp its essence no matter what he did.
But now, holding this spatial crystal in his hand, his mind kept bursting forth with new insights.
“Dao of Space, there’s quite a lot of it contained within this crystal, yet that ability user only developed one type of power from it…”
“Folding, teleportation, scaling, slicing, annihilation… each one is an extremely terrifying combat ability…”
“At the Yang Spirit Realm, one can already control domains, making initial contact with principles, the Great Dao of domains… the Dao of Space might just be a good choice!”
Gu Fan calmed his mind, sealing off his five senses, and fully immersed himself in it.
Except for a trace of divine soul vigilance against sudden attacks, he did not allow any other distractions.
Just like this, after comprehending for a full seven days inside the room, Gu Fan finally opened his eyes.
Then, he slowly extended his finger and lightly swiped — a pitch-black spatial rift appeared.
Without a sound, a wooden table opposite him was instantly split into two halves.
“Didn’t expect the first thing I’d comprehend would be slicing…”
Gu Fan looked at his finger in slight surprise, then smiled and put away the spatial ability crystal.
After such a sudden burst of inspiration, Gu Fan suddenly had more ideas for his future path.
Previously, when traveling back and forth between the two worlds, his main strategies were exploiting the time difference, mindlessly devouring living souls to aid his growth, and cultivating the Evil Lotus to gain cultivation.
Now, as his realm rose, his need for devouring living souls had greatly lessened — or rather, in the later stages, cultivators relied more on comprehending the Dao.
Some people were slow in enlightenment, unable to break through no matter how many years they practiced.
Some, though weak in strength, might, through an unintentional comprehension, leap from the Sea Transformation Realm straight into the Celestial Heart Realm overnight.
And the hardest part of enlightenment was naturally discovering what the ‘Dao’ truly was!
With no vessel to bear it, no concrete image, and only perception to pursue the illusory ‘Dao’, the difficulty was immense.
But now, Gu Fan had discovered something different!
The different series of abilities in the apocalypse world seemed to be a kind of alternative manifestation of Dao laws.
For example, a spatial-type crystal could help him comprehend the Dao of Space, so by that logic, other types of abilities should work the same way!
If that were really the case…
Then the ability crystals from the apocalypse world might help Gu Fan in cultivating enlightenment!
Compared to others searching for the Dao through painstaking effort, Gu Fan was basically playing with cheats!
And if he took one of these things out to sell, it would be worth a fortune!
“This apocalypse world really is filled with treasures…”
Gu Fan smiled with some emotion.
Mastering the spatial slicing ability was a massive boost to his combat strength.
In the Dao of Space, any one ability comprehended was terrifying in its own right.
One could only say the Copper City City Lord had been too impatient — if, after awakening this ability, he had quietly and diligently studied it, comprehending several more abilities, even Gu Fan might have found it hard to kill him.
Just as Gu Fan finished cultivating, a knock sounded at the door.
He got up to open it, only to see the caravan owner’s son standing outside.
“Honored guest, after such a long voyage, we’ve arrived at our destination.
My father asked me to inform you to prepare to disembark.”
Gu Fan swept his divine sense and discovered they had docked at a city completely unfamiliar to him.
He nodded immediately and smiled.
“Many thanks, I’ll disembark at once!”
After leaving the immortal boat, Gu Fan casually found a crowded spot and asked around, soon learning that this was the territory of the Brahma God Sect.
“From here, if you keep going east, you’ll find the mountain gate of the Brahma God Sect, but I hear top-tier sects like that aren’t something just anyone can join.”
Gu Fan smiled upon hearing that.
“I’m just asking.”
At this moment, the man opposite him, seeing that Gu Fan was alone, lowered his voice.
“Brother, traveling alone and clearly not weak — interested in a little job?”
Gu Fan became slightly intrigued and turned his head.
“What kind of job?”
“Heh, of course it’s a good one.
If you’re interested, tonight after dark, come to the Hu Family Temple in the south of the city — one of our people will be there to notify you, and you can take a look for yourself.”
As if worried Gu Fan wouldn’t take it seriously, the man added.
“They say it’s about the treasure of a former Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse.
If you’re not in a hurry, come and listen.”
With that, the man turned and left.
Gu Fan, however, found himself intrigued.
If it really involved a Tribulation Crossing Realm great cultivator, that was indeed tempting.
Thinking that he had nothing else to do anyway, he decided to come after dark to take a look.
If there were actual benefits, it wouldn’t be too late to take action then.
Thus, Gu Fan quietly memorized the address the other had given him, then found an inn to stay at.
After enjoying some of the city’s delicacies, he returned to the inn to quietly wait for nightfall.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, darkness approached.
Gu Fan walked slowly along a street in the southern part of the city, finally stopping at the entrance to a small temple.
“Hu Family Temple… what a strange name.”
Sweeping his divine sense, he found the people inside cautious, with a small formation blocking detection.
Gu Fan didn’t bother to think too much about it, striding directly inside.
Upon entering the main hall, he saw two people already there.
One was the man he had met when asking for directions earlier that day.
Seeing Gu Fan enter, the man immediately smiled.
“Welcome, welcome — I knew this Daoist friend would come take a look.”
The other man, sitting to the side, merely nodded at Gu Fan as a greeting, saying nothing.
Gu Fan also nodded politely.
“So what exactly is this job?
I’ve been curious all day.”
“No rush, no rush.”
The man who had invited Gu Fan gestured for him to sit to the side, smiling.
“Let’s wait a bit longer to see if anyone else comes, so we don’t have to repeat ourselves too many times, right?”
Gu Fan nodded at that and didn’t press.
As for worry — there was no need.
Everyone here was only at the mid-to-late stage of the Solar Radiance Realm.
If they tried to make a move on him, they wouldn’t be enough for him to kill.
Thus, with nothing better to do, Gu Fan sat there for half an hour.
During that time, three more people arrived, two men and one woman.
One of the men seemed unconvinced and left right away.
The later-arriving man appeared to know the one who had been here earlier, exchanging a meaningful glance before saying nothing more.
As for the veiled woman who came in, she gave Gu Fan several up-and-down glances, apparently curious about this unfamiliar face.
