I Can Strengthen Everything

BZZZZ—!!!

The instant his Primordial Spirit manifested, he suddenly felt an invisible force.

The fluctuations of his Primordial Spirit spread out, and an intangible presence lingered all around him.

It was like a sublimation of his Primordial Spirit.

Though the presence was intangible, he could feel it with perfect clarity.

It gave him the illusion of transcending the world and undergoing Ascension.

'This is... the Heaven and Earth Rank!'

Fang Xing's heart trembled.

The Primordial Spirit manifests, and the Rank envelops it!

'The Heaven and Earth Rank!'

Fang Xing quietly focused on this wisp of intangible presence.

Even if it was just a "Pseudo-Rank," this wisp of intangible presence was, to him, as vast as an ocean!

If he could master it completely, his Martial Arts would undergo a fundamental evolution.

In his hands, Martial Arts integrated with the Momentum of Heaven and Earth could unleash earth-shattering power.

Calming his mind and casting aside all else, Fang Xing immersed himself in the sensation.

At the same time, inside a Training Room within a deep mansion of the Observatory, a white-haired old man abruptly opened his eyes.

A shocking, divine light shot from his cloudy eyes, as if capable of seeing through everything.

'This is... the Heaven and Earth Rank?'

'Why does something feel off?'

Yuan Tiangang's brow furrowed. He performed a quick divination with his fingers, then abruptly rose and vanished from the Training Room as if he had teleported.

In the span of a single breath, he had left the Observatory and appeared in the sky above a mansion.

Standing in the Void, Yuan Tiangang looked down at the mansion below, a flash of shock in his eyes.

'The Primordial Spirit manifests, and the Rank envelops it!'

'How can this boy be such a Demon Fiend?!'

Looking at the mansion below, Yuan Tiangang was utterly shaken. The revelation was enough to startle even a Celestial, and he felt tumultuous waves rising in his heart.

The Heaven and Earth Rank, the Momentum of Heaven and Earth... He had felt something was off, but now he understood.

Someone had just manifested their Primordial Spirit and attained the Heaven and Earth Rank.

For someone who hadn't yet entered the Celestial Human Realm, there was no way to attain the Heaven and Earth Rank other than by manifesting their Primordial Spirit.

To manifest a Primordial Spirit and attain the Heaven and Earth Rank before entering the Celestial Human Realm was something not even someone as powerful as Hong Miaojin could achieve.

The current number one on the Great Jing Hidden Dragon List didn't have this ability either.

At most, they could cultivate a Yin God.

To manifest a Primordial Spirit, one had to break through to the Celestial Human Realm.

Of course, this wasn't to say it was absolutely impossible to manifest a Primordial Spirit before reaching the Celestial Human Realm.

It was just that such an event had not occurred even once in the last thousand years of Great Jing's history.

Perhaps one might only appear once in ten thousand years.

Before, he might have only considered Fang Xing a prodigy, but now, even he, a Celestial Martial Saint, had to admit that Fang Xing's talent was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined.

He could be called a peerless genius, one for the ages!

'What kind of extraordinary luck and fortuitous encounters did this kid have to be able to manifest his Primordial Spirit?'

Yuan Tiangang's mind was in turmoil.

To be able to manifest a Primordial Spirit wasn't just a matter of talent.

One also needed immense luck and a grand, fortuitous encounter!

Only the combination of all three factors could create such a miracle!

'If this boy doesn't die prematurely, he is destined to become a Martial Saint!'

To be able to manifest a Primordial Spirit and gain the blessing of the Heaven and Earth Rank... even if it was only a "Pseudo-Rank," it was still a form of the Heaven and Earth Rank!

With the enhancement of this "Pseudo-Rank," any Martial Arts in his hands would become incredibly powerful.

This was the favor of Heaven and Earth!

The Momentum of Heaven and Earth—even a single sliver of it—was enough to let him roam undefeated at his current stage of Cultivation.

As his strength grew and his Rank expanded, his Martial Arts would become even more terrifying.

Looking back a thousand years, not a single person had been able to manifest their Primordial Spirit and attain the Heaven and Earth Rank before becoming a Celestial.

With such talent and luck, stepping into the Celestial Human Realm would be a matter of course.

Moreover, after he became a Celestial, his Heaven and Earth Rank would sublimate and transform again, becoming even more terrifying than a normal one.

'Heh, it's a good thing that old rascal Duan Tianya doesn't know. If he found out that Fang Xing could manifest his Primordial Spirit and attain the Heaven and Earth Rank while still in the True Qi Realm...'

'Forget about Hong Miaojin trying to claim him; even if Hong Xuanji himself gave the order, I doubt it would be easy...'

Looking at the mansion below, a smile appeared on Yuan Tiangang's face.

For now, this talent belonged to his Cang Province.

With Fang Xing's potential and talent, he was more than qualified to be a future pillar of strength.

'This boy is such a Demon Fiend... perhaps I should take him as my disciple?'

The thought flashed through Yuan Tiangang's mind, and a fervent glint ignited in his eyes.

Taking such a peerless genius as a disciple would certainly be no loss.

In the future, he would surely become a giant of the Martial Dao!

'No, with Hong Miaojin in the picture... and that girl seems to value him greatly. She's about to return to the capital and is taking Fang Xing with her. She'll definitely introduce him to Hong Xuanji. Forget it... I can't win against him, so it's better not to stir up trouble.'

With another thought, Yuan Tiangang forcibly suppressed these distracting ideas.

It was a pity, though...

However, he had to accept reality.

At least for now, Fang Xing was one of his own.

'I can, however, try to win him over a bit beforehand. Yes, I'll summon him again tomorrow.'

The thought passed in a flash, and in the next instant, Yuan Tiangang's figure vanished without a trace.

...

As the morning sun rose into the sky, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes in his bedchamber.

'The Heaven and Earth Rank... truly a Profound Mystery. Although I can only use a sliver of the Momentum of Heaven and Earth, with the enhancement from this wisp of the Position of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the power of my Martial Arts cannot be underestimated!'

Fang Xing's eyes shone brilliantly.

The Primordial Spirit manifests, and the Rank envelops it!

The Heaven and Earth Rank could enhance and elevate any of his Martial Arts.

Doubling their power was not out of the question!

Within his Celestial Spirit Sea, his Primordial Spirit sat enthroned in the center, like a great sun shining down.

He had broken through the Yin Spirit Peak and entered the Primordial Spirit stage.

The improvement from this single step was an earth-shattering transformation!

The growth from this single leap was more terrifying than that of a hundred cultivators at the Yin Spirit Peak combined.
