Chapter 1070: Swindle

Fang Yuan slowly circulated her Gang Qis, and the surrounding space around her produced layers of ripples. Fang Xingjian could sense that the distance of the space was going through changes at this moment.
‘Changing the distance between spaces?’ A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Xingjian’s eyes.
When Fang Tao and Loree saw this scene, there was also a faint hint of wariness in their eyes.
Ever since they became heaven-blessed cultivators, they had become very arrogant and were very confident in the martial arts they had awakened. It was only after coming to the Three Mountains Four Peaks and seeing the other two heaven-blessed cultivators that they discovered to their surprise… the martial arts the other two had awakened were in no way weaker than their own.
Furthermore, they had all came to a draw in the several rounds of sparring that they had.
After taking a look for a while, Fang Xingjian got sick of this. It was because although the three of them appeared as if they were cultivating martial arts together, they were actually unwilling to reveal their own methods for cultivating martial arts. They merely went through some simple exchanges or a few rounds of sparring.
Therefore, after watching for another two hours, Fang Xingjian sent invisible waves out to scan the space around the trio with a single thought.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see that as Fang Xingjian completed this series of actions, the space around the entire platform seemed to crackle and shatter. Then the space was suddenly divided into three portions.
The three areas of spaces had completely split up Fang Tao, Loree, and Fang Yuan. However, during this entire process, the trio did not sense any abnormality at all.
Given Fang Xingjian’s current cultivation, he was able to perform these illusory arts without anyone noticing. The three heaven-blessed cultivators did not detect that the people in front of them right now were not their real comrades. Instead, they were just illusions that Fang Xingjian had simulated.
“Don’t think of Fang Xuan too simply,” the simulated version of Fang Tao suddenly stepped out and said. “You guys have witnessed Xiao Shen’s ability to shatter void space, right? Even until now, I have yet to think of a way to kill him.
“After he integrated the Great Dao’s Testimony, his cultivation became increasingly deep and unfathomable. He is like the legendary demons from beyond the heavens, coming and leaving without any traces and almost impossible to guard against.
“Even such a great expert at the Great Dao Realm holds great wariness for Fang Xuan’s battle prowess. He even hopes that after we’ve all attained the Great Dao Realm, we can join forces with the three of them. He only has the confidence to win with six Great Dao Realm experts attacking Fang Xuan concurrently.”
“That’s right.” the simulated Loree continued, “Miss Fang”Fang Yuan, although our martial arts’ prowess is very powerful, out cultivation is still too weak. That Blood Sea from the Demon Sect had attained the Great Dao Realm and refined the entire Serene Mountain’s mountain range into a sea of blood with a single thought, but he was still suppressed by that young Fang Xuan.
“This person’s martial arts aren’t to be underestimated.”
“I propose that we have an exchange of our martial arts,” Fang Tao said. “The martial arts that we each received after awakening as heaven-blessed cultivators are all world-astonishing superb martial arts. However, they each specialize in different areas. If we can overcome our shortcomings with each other’s strong points, the rate at which our cultivation improves as well as our battle prowess will all increase.”
Fang Yuan frowned instinctively, unwilling to reveal her own martial arts.
However, just then, Loree said, “I agree with what you said. The martial art I awakened is the Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend. I can bring out this martial technique.”
“Excellent!” Fang Tao smiled. “Then I’ll bring out my Electromagnetic Drive martial technique as well.”
Looking at the duo’s gazes that were cast in her direction, Fang Yuan’s countenance changed slightly. “What if I don’t hand over mine?”
Fang Tao shook his head. “Fang Yuan, although our fathers are brothers and you’re considered to be my younger sister, the trading of our martial arts is fair. If you’re unwilling to hand over yours, then the exchange will only be done between Loree and me. We won’t force you, but we won’t be showing you our martial arts either.”
Fang Yuan’s countenance sank slightly. The exchange of martial arts would naturally be very beneficial for improving their cultivation. She had seen both Fang Tao’s Electromagnetic Drive and Loree’s Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend. These two techniques were in no way weaker than her 33 Paradises.
This would mean that if she were unwilling to participate in the exchange, her strength would lag behind the two of them. The even more troublesome thing was that she would be faintly dispelled out from their circle of three.
Fang Yuan did not seem too happy, but she still agreed eventually, “Alright. I’ll bring out my 33 Paradises for the exchange as well.”
She felt a little uncomfortable about this at the beginning. However, thinking of how she would be able to trade it for two world-astonishing martial arts which were in no way weaker than her 33 Paradises, Fang Yuan’s countenance appeared a little better.
Yet what she did not know was that these Fang Xingjian and Loree were just illusions that Fang Xingjian had conjured. At the same time when she was being tricked, Loree and Fang Tao were also tricked into bringing out their own martial arts in additional sets of illusions.
Therefore, Fang Xingjian controlled the illusory arts while concurrently listening to the content the trio were sharing about their own martial arts.
Fang Tao spoke with ease and fluency, “My martial technique is called the Electromagnetic Drive. Everything in the world is formed from tiny microparticles that can’t be seen by the naked eye. The powers that push, assemble, and disassemble these microparticles are the electromagnetic forces.
“My martial technique controls this power. When this technique is cultivated to the highest level, the cultivator will be able to control everything, including the world…”
An electric spark flashed on his palm, and the surrounding air trembled. As he struck out with his punch, it was like there was the roar of cannon fire, and a mountain in the distance started crumbling.
“… However, the most important thing is still the rise in the cultivator’s strength. The source of the circulation for all things and living creatures in the world is this electromagnetic force. As long as they control this power, they will be able to possess the strongest power in the world.”
In another scene, Loree gave his introduction, “The Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend is said to have come from a powerful sect that has a long history. This sect is called the Southern Sacrosanct Sect, and they have a large amount of deep and unfathomable martial arts.
“This Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend refines the omnipresent light in the air, working together with all sorts of cultivation methods as reinforcements and using essential Qis and Gang Qis to store light into one’s eye. Once released…”
A light rumble rang out, and as red light erupted from Loree’s eyes, two beams of crimson light shot out from his eyes. Everywhere they passed by, the temperature in the air would rise and release rumbling sounds of explosions. Wherever Loree’s gaze swept by, a large area of cliffs would suddenly shatter.
This Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend did not just use light speed to attack. It could also accumulate for a very long period of time, giving it a prowess with an inestimable limit. If Loree were to unleash his full powers right now, he would probably be able to kill Tiangang Realm cultivators directly. This was despite the fact that he was only at the Disha Realm and it had not been long since he had started cultivating this technique.
In Fang Xingjian’s opinion, the technique’s prowess could almost be sufficient as a space battleship’s main cannon.
Fang Yuan also started to introduce her martial arts concurrently, “The 33 Paradises technique comes from a mysterious cultivator whose name is unknown. Its effect is to collapse and stretch space. At the first level, the cultivator can stretch a distance of one meter into two meters or shrink one meter into half a meter. At the second level, the effects are doubled. At the third level, the effects are doubled again…”
