Moving her arms and legs and taking in a fresh breath of air, the Crown Princess broke into a satisfied smile.
She had finally returned to the real world.
Fang Xingjian stood next to her and said, “You can say it now, right?”
The Crown Princess threw a sideways glance toward Fang Xingjian like she was looking at trash. However, a short moment later, she recited a verse. It was the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint’s cultivation method.
Half an hour later, Fang Xingjian nodded, “I didn’t expect that this martial art would not only fend off enemies but also harmonize the inside and outside of the body, as well as increase one’s foundation and potential.”
The Crown Princess smiled proudly and said, “But of course. This Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint is the main palm imprint technique for the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint. Not only does it have a great prowess, but it is also extremely domineering and goes down to the finest detail. It can increase anyone’s potential and aptitude.”
This was not the first time Fang Xingjian came across a great technique that increased one’s aptitude. The most amazing one should be what the purple flames had done back then, increasing his aptitude by 100 or even 1,000 times in just an instant. Next would be the mystical prints passed down from his mother. It allowed one to incessantly receive information from the world, ceaselessly raising one’s aptitude, knowledge, and experience.
However, to Fang Xingjian, this Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint seemed like a technique that was hard to come by. It was unexpected that it could raise the aptitude of anyone who cultivated it. It did not even require the depletion of any resources. The one thing he needed was people.
The Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint’s contents that the Crown Princess had recited earlier kept flashing in Fang Xingjian’s mind. He put his hands together with his fingers entangled and moved about, just like a blossoming lotus flower. It was the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint’s basis—the Lives’ Wisdom Seal.
They said that the ten fingers were connected to the heart. In the research done by the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s ancestors, as the finger movements changed, the human consciousness would also change accordingly. This was how palm imprints were used to affect the brain’s movements.
Even if an ordinary person were to persist in forming seals with their hands and moving their fingers daily, it would help to train their brain and increase their intelligence.
At the Divine level realm, one could make use of hand seals to stimulate all sorts of changes to the martial will.
With the performance of hand seals, Fang Xingjian’s martial will also started circulating, causing his body to appear a little indistinct.
At the next moment, Fang Xingjian seemed to be able to sense all sorts of colorful glows appearing in the entire world. They were the glows coming from countless lives.
‘This is destiny… Because I’m in the position of Emperor, the destiny of everyone in the Divine Capital is connected to mine,
Through Fang Xingjian’s view, the entire Divine Capital was taken over by colorful glows, while the areas outside seemed to be that of darkness and void. It was because his current rule was only over the Divine Capital.
At the next moment, Fang Xingjian continued to form hand seals, and his attention suddenly focused in onto a light spot in the Divine Capital.
He could immediately sense that the other party’s brain and his consciousness had formed some kind of connection. Then Fang Xingjian started to form hand seals intensely, and the surrounding void space seemed to produce some kind of waves.
Many invisible lines extended out from his consciousness, connecting toward countless people in Divine Capital.
Suddenly, countless people’s voices rang out in Fang Xingjian’s mind, with countless experiences, views, and ideas flashing through it.
‘What is wisdom?
‘Wisdom consists of senses, knowledge, memories, understandings, forming of connections, emotions, logic, and the ability to calculate.
‘This Lives’ Wisdom Seal can gather the wisdom of all lives, making use of their knowledge, memories, understandings, forming of connections, emotions, logic, and the ability to calculate.’
At this very moment in the Divine Capital, countless people’s brains were being connected into Fang Xingjian’s consciousness like forming a cloud computing cluster. They offered their memories, understanding, knowledge, and the ability to calculate to Fang Xingjian.
Even the portion of calculative ability in everyone’s brain that they did not use could be utilized by Fang Xingjian.
‘It’s no wonder they are called the Ascendant Heavenly Sect. This technique requires the cultivator to perform the duties of a ruler. The more citizens they rule over, the stronger the prowess of the Lives’ Wisdom Seal.’ Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered with the glow of wisdom. The support he received from the countless experts and citizens in the Divine Capital alone already made him feel stronger.
He began to imagine the level that the Lives’ Wisdom Seal would reach when the population of people he ruled over increased tremendously, even reaching several billion in size.
At that time, he would be able to make use of the wisdom of the countless people to derive any martial arts and any world’s universal truth—mobilizing several billion or ten billion people’s excessive calculative abilities in their brains to aid him in his calculations.
The stronger the people he ruled over were, the fewer areas he would need to use his brain in and the more excessive calculative abilities he could mobilize.
Fang Xingjian got to understand the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s cultivation method. He looked at the Crown Princess and said, “I’m guessing all experts in the Ascendant Heavenly Sect at tier five of the Divine level or higher have kept many countries in their Divine Countries, right? You guys might also have taken over many countries in parallel worlds.”
“Hmph, with our Ascendant Heavenly Sect ruling over the human world, it’s a great thing that brings great fortune to the people. It raises their intelligence and goes with the natural flow of things. Is there anything wrong with that?” The Crown Princess said slowly,.”Alright, I’ve already given you the cultivation method for the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint. You can tell me about your sword technique now, right?”
At the mention of Fang Xingjian’s sword technique, even the Crown Princess’ eyes gleamed with a hint of uncontrollable anticipation.
After all, when Fang Xingjian fought against the Crown Princess, his sword technique—which went right through to the intrinsic nature of things, slashing right down to their foundations—had also taken her by surprise. If it was not for the fact that she had devoted hard work and great effort in cultivating the Royal Heavenly Great Arts for many years which allowed her martial will to be extremely powerful, she would probably have been wiped out within a few moves.
Moreover, that final move which sealed her up was also a top-notch powerful technique she had never seen before.
Therefore, the agreement she had with Fang Xingjian was for him to let her out, then they would trade their superb techniques. However, they would only trade a portion of their techniques each time, over the course of a year.
Fang Xingjian gave the Lives’ Wisdom Seal from the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint a try and ascertained that there were no problems. Therefore, with a tap of his finger, he sent a stream of sword intent into the Crown Princess’ mind.
“Infiltrating Void Sword Technique?” Streams of sword intents flashed in the Crown Princess’ eyes. “Excellent sword technique. Although you’re shameless and have poor morals, your sword technique isn’t bad.” She immediately started to circulate her martial will at full power, deriving an understanding of this sword technique.
Fang Xingjian also sank into the study of the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint once again. Other than the Lives’ Wisdom Seal which increased one’s foundation and aptitude, there were also all sorts of seals that could be used to fend off enemies.
While Fang Xingjian and the Crown Prince were having an exchange in their martial arts in the palace…
There was an army of 30,000 soldiers gathered at the Divine Martial Pass in the northeastern part of Jing Region. All sorts of military flags, camps, and smoke filled up the place.
When the guarding general on the city walls of the Divine Martial Pass saw the army, his face paled.
“This… This is…” His eyes glanced at the word, ‘Xin’, that was on the flag in the military camp. He said with a grim countenance, “Is this Prince Xin’s army?”
