Three days later, in the hall at the center of the Sacred White Crevice...

All 39 warriors of the White Army were gathered there. Priest Longmai sat at the very front, followed by Priest Tie, Priestess Yan, and other general-level warriors.

They were then followed by the other warriors at the colonel, officers, and soldier levels. Jessica, who had just arrived, sat in the very last row and looked at Fang Xingjian with an astonished expression.

She had never expected that a young man she had met by chance would be able to get the entire White Army to submit to him, becoming a top-notch character on Earth.

Today was the day for Fang Xingjian to give a lecture. He understood that if he wished to change the direction of history, he could not just rely on sweeping through the world with brute force. He must also change the White Army's cultivation technique, allowing them to become stronger by themselves. Or rather, they had to be able to possess a stronger future.

Therefore, he spent a few days creating a set of sword technique that could use the ring's energy to circulate. With Fang Xingjian's current realm, such a thing was an easy feat.

This set of sword technique used the Church of Universal Truth's Universal Truth Longsword as a foundation and then combined several tens of other sword techniques. He even did some adjustments specifically for the ring's energy. This newly created sword technique far surpassed the other martial techniques which the White Army had created, in terms of both prowess and potential.

His lecture, of course, was not one that required him to explain in words. The efficiency of it would be too low. Fang Xingjian used information currents as a carrier, channeling the lecture straight into everyone's mind through his sword arts.

Through their five senses, everyone could instantly feel that there was something new in their mind. Then it was as if their bodies moved by themselves, starting to circulate the ring's energy to condense into a light sword and perform a set of sword technique.

This Universal Truth Longsword kept on repeating in their minds, and all of the people from the White Army revealed a drunken expression. They had never expected that there would be a sword technique like the Universal Truth Longsword in this world, that the ring's energy could be used in such a manner, and that the microscopic world would be so profound.

At this moment, everyone was even more convinced by Fang Xingjian. This was especially so for Priest Longmai, Priestess Yan, and the others. Fang Xingjian was their greatest hope in the pursuit of the Dao. They would probably fight it out with whoever dared to go against Fang Xingjian right now.

Therefore, over the next few days, Fang Xingjian guided everyone in their sword arts cultivation while splitting out 99% of his powers to roam the universe, stroll on the Sun, and continue using the Thunder-Inducing Technique to temper his martial will.

Of course, this was just the basic cultivation. Fang Xingjian's cultivation plan for when he was in this world was already fixed. The first thing was to perfect Instant Sword and allow the Celestial Eradication Four Swords' sword intents to be brought to the peaks of the microscopic world, maintaining a balance. With that, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation's prowess would also be perfected.

The second thing was to patch up his Heart Sword Path. He wanted for it to be able to affect or even control Divine level experts' souls and emotions.

The third thing was to be able to integrate the above results into the Divine Country. He wanted to use space as the foundation, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation as the spine, the Heart Sword Path as the soul, and integrate all the sword arts he had learned into one.

Therefore, 99% of his powers continued heading to the Sun to become stronger while the remaining 1% was left on earth, guiding the people from the White Army in their sword arts. Simultaneously, he continued to absorb and comprehend the information obtained from the Divine Emperor, as well as the knowledge obtained from the Earth's wordless monument. He was going to use these to perfect the Instant Sword.

In the hall, streams of pitch-black sword marks tore through the atmosphere and appeared around Fang Xingjian.

The sword marks created from Instant's slashes seemed to be without a beginning or an end. They came without being known and left without a trace. The marks merely appeared abruptly, not showing any traces of there being an attack.

This was the Instant Sword. It was a sword technique that slashed out an attack in a time that did not exist.

In the past battles, this had been very strong. However, to the current Fang Xingjian who would be fighting in battlefields with light speed movements, space distortions, and powers at the microscopic level, the Instant Sword's prowess was too weak although it was still hard to fend off.

Nevertheless, the nature of Instant was far too deeply rooted in Fang Xingjian. Thus, despite Fang Xingjian managing to raise the prowess of the All-Conquering, Infiltrating Void, and Light Pursuit Swords, he had been unable to perfect the Instant sword intent.

"Instant doesn't merely involve the four fundamental forces—the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces, the earth's astral powers, nuclear forces, as well as the forces that cause all life to deteriorate. It also involves the end of the four major forces and the changes to space-time..."

Fang Xingjian was deep in thought regarding the Instant Sword when Priest Longmai came over anxiously. "Sir, all of the other 12 armies are spreading the news that Jessica has a page of the Book of Wisdom."

"Hmm?" Fang Xingjian's eyes glimmered. Majority of his attention continued to contemplate sword arts while he split out some of his will to ask, "What is the Book of Wisdom?"

Priest Longmai explained about the Book of Wisdom.

After hearing that the Book of Wisdom came from the Moon, Fang Xingjian's gaze lit up slightly. He had searched the Moon in the past and thought that there were no relics there in this world. However, he had not expected the relic on the Moon in this world to be a book.

Priest Longmai continued, "Sir, the Black Army's Grade has sent word to invite us to discuss about the jurisdiction of this page of the Book of Wisdom. How should we handle this?"

During this period of time, Fang Xingjian had come to understand that the White Army's situation was the same as his conjecture. The White Army really was on the lower ranks amongst the 13 armies.

After all, as compared to the white ring which required one to have the heart to pursue the Dao, the other rings—such as the black ring that represented greed, the gold ring that represented the thirst for knowledge, the yellow ring that represented terror, the gray ring that represented the desire to control—were easier to realize and stick to.

The Black Army was extremely special. There was only one person in the entire army. Due to its nature of greed, people who obtained the black rings were unwilling to share the power that represented greed. Therefore, they would engulf each other, leaving only one person behind.

That person's body contained the will of everyone in the Black Army, and only the person with the strongest will would be able to control the body of this last person.

"Everything will proceed as usual. There's no need to care about the people outside," Fang Xingjian said calmly. "Tell me more about the Book of Wisdom in detail. Oh, right. Didn't the White Army obtain one or two pages out of the 2,333 pages in the Book of Wisdom?"

However, Fang Xingjian had not thought of laying a hand on the people from the other 12 armies. However, he was unable to stop them from wanting to test out the capability of the White Army's leader.

After another three days, a man wearing a gray suit entered the Sacred White Crevice under Priest Tie's lead. As a representative of the Gray Army and a General-level warrior, there was a hint of uncontrollable arrogance when he looked at each of the White Army's warriors.

"Brother Tie, I didn't expect that you people from the White Army would yield to a person within just a few days' time. It's really shocking."
