Seized by the System

Fang Ning truly did not sleep for three days. He had completely taken out the vigor he had during his college entrance exams. There really was the taste of having courage be born from shame.

He carefully combed through the three major abilities he learned, namely the Dragonization Ability, Atmospheric Morality Technique, and True Bodhi Tactics. All of them were supreme techniques the System created. They were flawless and beyond the reach of ordinary people, and impossible for them to learn.

Above the soul, rays of light circulated, and the force of the soul was unimpeded and unhindered. The accumulation was so thick that it shook the old and illuminated the new.

His procrastination was not completely useless. At least, when he cultivated, there would be absolutely no chance of him rashly advancing…

If not for his own initiative to break through, he would have advanced automatically by virtue of the solid accumulation and the strength of his external body.

His cultivation was mainly related to ‘god’. Compared to other cultivators, he was actually saved on two procedures. The amount of energy he had was completely incomparable to a Pond-level powerhouse.

“Wouldn’t it be great if you’d done this sooner? You humans are always like that. You don’t know pain until the knife is stuck on your neck. You won’t know how to rise up without sinking to the bottom.” The System did not let him off.

“Shut up, don’t affect my breakthrough. If I go into deviatory psychosis, I’ll never forgive you!” Fang Ning snapped at the System.

“…” As expected, the System became silent and no longer disturbed him.

Fang Ning then satisfactorily continued to close his eyes and cultivate. He worked his soul’s power and started to break through.

The so-called Pond-level or Lake-level only described the overall strength, magical power, and divine power of a person.

When it came to the specific realm of cultivation, it still depended on each individual’s technique.

Among Fang Ning’s three major abilities, only the Atmospheric Morality Technique was slow in progress. He did have an interest in the other two, and their headway was not bad either. The main reason was that the conditions given by the System were too superior. He had already entered the next level and was not far away from perfection.

…

While Fang Ning was breaking through to a Lake-level soul in isolation, others were naturally not simply being idle.

The Bodhisattva Spirit King had returned to the mouth of the spring and started to use his magical power to construct a series of buildings while using this place as the foundation.

A ruling room, a reception hall, Blood Pond Hell, ascension office, reincarnation ground… These places were rapidly built.

They were either rigid, solemn, stunning, or even resembling science fiction.

Black Robe was toiling in the reincarnation ground. He wanted to build a ‘Robocop’ assembly plant here.

The reincarnation ground was located five hundred meters underground. It was a spacious rock cave connecting to an underground tributary of the River of Blood.

This river was already in the River God of the Sky River’s control. Its greatest use was to remake flesh and make the soul appear again.

This was extremely remarkable. It was not inferior to reincarnation and rebirth.

However, it had an innate limitation. It could only produce aquatic animals… and Daqing loved to eat creatures that lived in rivers.

If they wanted to make them human, it would be impossible unless Fang Ning converged the paths and amended its use.

This was exactly what the River God could not do. What he could do was urge the river to behave according to the arcane realm’s rules.

Black Robe had expected the fight between Chong Daqing and Vigilante A to end with neither sides winning, but he did not expect that Chong Daqing would recover its rationality after eating the Empyrean Pill. The two parties then stopped fighting.

On the contrary, somehow or other, the Heavenly Axiom’s power was completely consumed. It was all because Chong Daqing was too good at eating…

At that time, the Heavenly Axiom was still very pleased. That was because the more it ate, the higher its power. By the time it finished eating, even Black Robe felt fear.

He understood that that kind of power was not something that the four mighty beings could rival. Under absolute power, magic and spiritual ascension were nothing.

“Damn it. I ended up having to work for them. I, Black Robe, am only loyal to one Devil Lord…” He muttered as he raised a finger, and countless rocks transformed into modern factory machinery.

Cloning room, culturing base, energy source room, assembly line… All sorts of mechanical equipment that was planned in advance materialized into reality.

This was the horror of top-notch cultivators who integrated modern science and technological systems. They could control materials, directly shape the equipment they wanted, and completely ignore the limitations of modern science and technology.

Black Robe had been imbued with the Devil Lord’s memories and had been operating in the modern science and technology kingdom in the USA for several years. It was much easier to master those human technologies than cultivation.

After all, there was no mystery in the scientific and technological systems, and there was no barrier to verify it step by step. As long as he had enough wisdom, time, and capital, he would be able to master it.

On this point, this devil walked in front of many righteous gods.

The so-called Path of Devils was fickle. It was their path for survival, and could change anytime they liked.

…

Meanwhile, Tianjing Fawang was currently in the newly completed Ruling Room.

The Ruling Room, also located in the underground rock, was a huge palace.

He sat on the throne of the place with his eyes closed and communicated with the Upper Realm.

After an unknown amount of time, several golden rays of light descended before him.

When the golden light dissipated, five bald men were revealed.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Tianjing…” The five bald men put their palms together at the same time and obediently saluted.

“Haha, welcome, my Junior Brothers. This precious place is the real foothold of our Buddhism in this world. I hope you can put aside your private thoughts to devote yourself to the public, be not twisted and unjust, differentiate between good and evil, and do not humiliate our Buddha.” Fawang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“When I came, I already knew. The only one who follows the Buddha’s decrees with utmost faith is Senior Brother.” The five bald men simultaneously said.

“That’s good. In that case, everyone, please carry out your tasks as assigned.”

“Tianlu, you’re in charge of the cycle of reincarnation.”

“Tiancang, you’re in charge of receiving and guiding.”

“Tianmo, you’re in charge of rewarding the virtuous.”

“Tianwu, you’re in charge of punishing the wicked.”

“Tianhao, you’ll be my attendant and manage all affairs.”

“Understood.” The five bald men said together.

“Then please follow me and familiarize yourself. When the master of this realm takes office, everyone will carry out their duties.” Fawang said seriously.

“Senior Brother, aren’t you the master of this realm?” A young bald-headed man asked.

“No, it’s a mighty being of this world. Of course, he also has some legacy from the Upper Realm. His background is mysterious and complicated, and is beyond my reach.” Fawang did not utter any unfalse words at all.

“Huh? How could that be?” The five bald men exchanged looks. A trace of contempt immediately revealed themselves in their eyes.

Before, they were obedient because they thought that Senior Brother Tianjing had already controlled this arcane realm.

An arcane realm was equivalent to a grotto-heaven of the Upper Realm.

In the Upper Realm, the lord of a grotto-heaven had great status even among gods and buddhas.

Most scattered immortals simply occupied a famous mountain or a great river, and raised several nations to pass their days. They would not be able to resist predestined fate at all.

Only those who had a grotto-heaven would be able to stand firm upright and live together with heaven.
