And there begins his adventure to become strong in the entire Nine Heavens so that he lives a peaceful, adventurous and idle life.

Warning 2 : English is not my first language, so if you find any mistakes please forgive me. Thank you.
Ze has been travelling for a day and was almost out of forest. He is also practicing his laws while travelling. Space and Darkness laws reached authority realm, so he can manipulate the laws easily.
Darkness law has many uses in espionage. He can manipulate the law to create small shadows and attach them to target's shadow. He can then listen to the conversations of that individual and his surroundings. He can also use the shadows to observe his surroundings or to monitor enemy movements. But Ze will most likely use his divine eyes for that. Also he can totally blend in the darkness, its perfect for assassination.
The most important use of this law is binding and sealing. He can bind the target he chooses for a few seconds. In a fight, every second is important, they determine life and death. Also even if it has this many uses, not everyone can implement them. Ze reached authority realm, so his proficiency is very high and he would not get caught so easily. But if someone who is at force and intent realm uses these techniques on others, they might get caught. There are also many other things. He is slowly getting used to them.
Space law and fire law also has many uses. He was getting familiar with these techniques when he began to see the outline of the city. He began to slow down and walk.
Ever since he reached Void formation, his speed increased even more. He thought this way he can easily cross realms if just devour something. He asked system about what he should devour to gain more energy.
[Master, it seems like you're mistaken. The reason you reached void formation so fast is because of samadhi flames. These are the flames which can increase the power of even the Celestials. Since you absorbed it at foundation realms, you had the jump.
Since you're cultivating primordial qi, you will need resources much more than a normal cultivator. To be frank, if some other person took the samadhi flames at body forging realm and began to integrate with outside help, he would have definitely reached Divine lord or True immortal realm by refining the flames for many years. But from the things provided by me, you refined it in half-a-day and reached void formation very fast with solid foundation. Also although your body has power rivaling gods, you couldn't handle it properly. By tempering your body with primordial qi, your power increased to a great degree. So your overall cultivation is only at void formation.
Also to increase your energy, it is better to hunt wild beasts. The cores will be a natural resource to you. Also herbs and fruits are helpful too. And by my calculations, by the time you reach True immortal realm, you will receive a surprise.]
I see... Well, you can't blame me. Since the system always behaves overpowered, I thought I jumped many realms like no other. So the refining time is reduced, huh?
To be able increase other's realm to divine lord, while I was in void formation, It looks like I will have to collect massive resources. It should be considered a pain, but I am somewhat happy too. Its always the system giving everything, so I thought I don't have to work much but now I have some goal.
Haaaah.... I feel so better now.
.........
Ze reached the city, it called Wentian City. The walls were over 15m tall, and were manufactured from some sturdy metal. Many cultivators were lining up to pay fees to enter the city. Ze entered the city without anyone noticing. Well, you can't expect air or space to pay fees for you right?
This city was different from the other cities he's been. The roads were built by using yellow stone and there are people everywhere you see. From time to time, you can hear beast roars. They are beast pets which encountered their nemesis or the beast was dissatisfied by its master somehow. All in all, the city is bustling. Ze began to hear conversations of people while leisurely walking.
"The Ten Great Sects and Seven Greats gathered at Fu residence yesterday. Some people say that they heard arguments and saw fights ensued."
"Well, what do you expect? The whole continent is alert now because of that incident. Everyone is trying to find that person."
"I can't believe someone would do such a thing. If I encounter him, I will kill him seven times."
"Hey, who do you think is responsible?"
"Most likely those evil cultivators from Asura clan, only those psychos would do such a thing."
"Idiot, do you want to die? If you want to, please do so. Do not drag me with you. Cursing Asuras in public, you're really tired of living, huh? I am out of here."
"Wait, I'm coming too..."
.........
Ze listened to these conversations and felt that something big happened. But he didn't know what it was as no one is mentioning the real problem. And also the big shots are trying to search for a person, huh?
Well, whatever. As long as it does not implicate him, he doesn't care one bit about it.
He listened to more conversations and found out where Fu residence is. He can use his eyes but since many big shots gathered, he do not want to play his cards so soon. He was already on his way to this Fu place, he will have to use them regardless later. So he used the more common way first and observe the situation.
That is also the reason he was listening to every conversation. Even with his eyes and shroud ability he may miss some things, it doesn't hurt to listen. But he sure as hell will not believe everything blindly. In the previous city too, he listened and thought the serpentine forest will have only void formation beast but he encountered divine lord. Although it brought him opportunities, he still felt that he got scammed.
He came to the Fu residence. He looked ahead and saw a huge palace - although its tiny compared to his void palace - he observed a stone stele which read, "Fu Residence." A strange and powerful aura is emitting from those words. Some powerful cultivator proficient in arts must have written it.
He entered the palace from right gate and began to wander around. All he saw were guards patrolling. But still, this is one big palace. There are mountains and streams present here. He soon arrived at a stream. Although there is nothing here, there are more guards present here. He used his eyes and saw that there is a slaughter and congealing array present here.
He knows its weak point. So he easily slipped in. Upon entering he noticed that the qi here is much dense and a golden light is flickering about half-a-mile from him. This place has many spiritual trees and herbs, mostly at tier-2, which are not much use to him.
He slowly approached the place and saw there are people seated below the tree. He slowly approached them, there are about twenty people present and they were discussing something. From their luxurious dresses and demeanor, he guessed they are from sects and clans. And because they are young, most probably young geniuses. He then began to observe the tree.
[Fate Bellowing Spirit Tree : A spirit tree which possess fate law. Upon consuming its fruits, fate law's understanding and proficiency is increased. They also possess healing abilities and also aid in cultivation too. Upon cultivating under tree, the fate law of the person is slightly tempered.]
Fate spirit tree? Now, this is type of resource he wanted. He walked around these youth and snatched some fruits. He placed them in palace and began to listen to the youths.
"Hey, What do you think our elders will decide?"
"How should I know? They will probably hold another meeting in about an hour. We will have to attend, so we will know then."
"Probably something about venturing into Desolate Yellow forest?"
"Yeah, something like that is possible. But do you think those guys will stay there?"
"Who knows. We will have to try nonetheless."
Everyone is offering their thoughts but a girl was sitting quietly without a word. Ze knows this girl. She is the Fu person he saw at cultivators inn.
A youth suddenly said, "If only Fu clan properly operated this region, we would not have so much trouble. Even after the incident, they did not provide any evident news, What is the use in saying you're of the seven greats? You need to prove from your actions that you're worthy of such respect." This youth seems to be from Lu clan.
Another youth said, "Well, you cannot blame them entirely. Even though we are at different places, its not like we do not what is happening in other regions, right? We all have our ways, yet we too don't any news."
He placed his hand on the shoulder of Miss Fu and said, "Don't worry, Miss Fu. Its not your fault. I will support you, so stay strong."
Others snorted while watching this. How could they not understand his schemes? He is trying to curry favor with the girl. Miss Fu said nothing but clenched her fists tightly.
Ze did not understand much, but the Fu family let a criminal slip up or something? He has no way of knowing, unless he somehow attend the meeting. He could do without attending too.
He wants to just sign-in at the fate tree and stay here for a few days for more sign-ins. But he had nothing to do here. Cultivation is automatic, he might play around in void palace but there is nothing to do there too. So he decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.
He also found his guinea pig. How could Ze not know the person comforting Miss Fu. He is that idiot Zhang who tried to pick fight with him before. He formed a shadow and attached to Zhang's shadow with anyone noticing.
The conversation basically died after that and soon someone informed them about the meeting. They all left and Ze laid on the ground eating the spirit fruit he took and began to listen the conversations in the meeting.
