Chapter 805 - Loose Immortal - 805
Countless powerful sects and individuals arrived in the Fire Spirit Universe, shocking its residents. The Fire Spirit Sect was too weak compared to the strongest of the arriving sects. Only the Founder of the sect, who was extremely powerful even among the strongest of the arriving sects, was able to quell the commotion.
However, this was only on the surface. In the Fire Spirit Universe, only the Founder of the Fire Spirit Universe understood just how helpless he was. Even Celestial Emperor's had shown up. His word meant nothing, only affecting the weaker sects that had shown up on the surface.
However, it seemed it would be a few years before anyone took action.
In Zhou Fan's time, he was firmly at the Peak of the False Immortal realm, and his strength had increased many times over. He did not bother testing his strength. He would test it soon even if he didn't want to. With the Universe expanded, enemies many times more powerful than before would be able to enter the Universe.
If he did not grow in time, there would be nothing he could do. With great urgency, he cultivated. After three years, the green fish appeared.
Although it was a fish, Zhou Fan could tell that it was completely exhausted. Ever since the clouds of time had appeared, it had been working non-stop.
"I've finally managed to do something with the power of Time." The fish said.
When the clouds of time appeared, the River of Time went wild, and the fish lost its control over time.
It had since spent its time trying to fix the River of Time, which would get rid of the gateway connecting future and past. During this process, it had finally managed to regain control over some of its power of time.
"Although it isn't much right now, it can affect a single human. I imagine you know where I am going with this."
Zhou Fan nodded.
Since even the fish couldn't use the power of Time, Zhou Fan naturally couldn't use Time Qi. This was why he had yet to use the Time Bubble, it simply wasn't possible.
He had discussed this with the fish, and the opportunity to solve this problem had arrived.
"There is no time to waste, let's begin." Zhou Fan said.
The fish nodded. It waved its tail, and a bubble shaped like Zhou Fan in meditation appeared.
Time began to speed up inside the bubble, until it seemed as though the outside world had completely stopped moving. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Zhou Fan cultivated strictly as Sage Years passed within the bubble. For every Sage Year that passed inside, a year passed outside. Due to its weakened state, this was all the fish was capable of.
Five Sage Years passed. Zhou Fan felt as though a breakthrough was nearing.
One more Sage Year passed, and he felt it happening. Without pausing, his cultivation broke through. The Loose Immortal realm was interesting, and his power increased more than ten times, but it was nothing revolutionary. It was more like a foundational step, strengthening his foundations for the future.
The Immortal realms seemed different from the realms before them. If the cultivation realms before the False Immortal realm almost all gave something new, then the Immortal realms seemed to be building up to something greater.
Knowing what he did about the future, Zhou Fan could only imagine that, within these realms, the goal was to comprehend rules. When one reached the peak of these realms, they should have absolute control over one or multiple rules.
This was only a guess, but one Zhou Fan would be willing to bet on. With the remaining time in the Time Bubble, Zhou Fan studied the Rule of Growth, diving even deeper into it. At its peak, it should dictate all rules of growth throughout existence. This was an extremely powerful rule, for all things grew, and if the Rule of Growth restricted that, the Universal order would fall apart.
Zhou Fan would have been willing to spend countless years within the Time Bubble, but unfortunately, the Universe had other plans. The clouds of time shook, and time fell into disarray. The Time Bubble instantly popped, and Zhou Fan was released from the effects of time.
He looked into the distance. From one cloud of time, he saw a large ship emerging. From another, he saw a large bone dragon with countless people on it. From a different one, he saw a floating island bigger than a Supercluster.
Zhou Fan watched in silence as countless beings appeared.
Millions, billions, trillions arrived.
However, they did not immediately express ill will. After leaving the clouds of time, a representative from each group left their territory, arriving near Zhou Fan.
"You must be the first Immortal. It is an honor to make your acquaintance." A man in buddhist robes said.
Many others spoke, while some remained silent.
Each of them were immensely powerful, the expanded Universe showing signs of unrest.
At the very least, they were two realms above the Loose Immortal realm. Zhou Fan did not show any fear.
"Have you come in peace?" He asked.
All of them nodded. "To be specific, we've come in neutrality. Your enemies have yet to arrive, but we figured we'd station ourselves here. For now, we will not interfere in any battles."
Zhou Fan looked around, almost amazed by their audacity.
They seemed to think they could do whatever they wanted.
"I can allow you to stay, but it must be over there." Zhou Fan pointed.
His finger pointed at a small marked territory near the edge of the newly expanded Universe. It had nothing in it, but a few Path Creators had already divided the Universe into more Universal Sectors to avoid future confusion. This was a temporary measure and could be altered in the future.
Those from the future seemed surprised by his request, those who had spoken seemed the most surprised, while those who remained silent hardly reacted at all.
Silence hung in the air for a moment before some of the people moved, heading towards that area. It was more than big enough for everyone here.
The more arrogant ones hesitated before moving.
