Fixing The Formation Gate

Boom!

Zaka's fist seemed to move slowly, but it was only a misconception. His fist flew so fast that it folded the space in front of it into multiple layers.

The boulder which the tiger had used to rest had exploded into smithereens. The tiger, fortunately, had moved away from the spot.

'Fu*k, God why did this thing happened to this king?! Why?! Why?! This King had lived happily before this brat came. This King ruled all the animals at this layer.

Every time this King wanted to eat, someone will bring the meat to this King's mouth. Whenever this King bullied an animal, no one would protest.

But, this brat had ruined everything. He came to fight every day for FOUR YEARS!! Four years for Pete's sakes.

Now, even when this King didn't respond, he still provoked this King!? This King has had enough.

If this King can't win the fight, this King will bring down the brat even at the cost of this King's life!! One can take a warrior's life, but one can't humiliate the warrior" The tiger's eyes turned cold.

Crackle crackle

Sizzling sounds came from the tiger's body. Shining zig-zag golden-lines started to crawl on the back of the tiger.

'This This! Bloodline explosion!' Zaka's pupil contracted, 'It seems like I have to take this fight a bit more seriously.'

Whoosh. The tiger flickered and then tens of tiger shadows appeared from all directions attacking Zaka.

'Hmph' An apparition of an enormous giant appeared and Zaka was located inside of it. 'Condense!' the giant apparition started to shrink to just ten meters tall from one hundred meters.

Zaka started to move and released a flurry of punches at the shadows, he didn't bother aiming at a particular shadow because, according to his divine sense, all of them are real.

Zaka didn't move randomly, he moved like a bird moving along the wind, carefree and unrestrained, like a bird soaring in the vast sky!

His fist shone with earthy yellow light, the color of the lesser dao of the immovable mountain! Fist after fist connected like a stream that flows continuously, the lesser dao of flowing water!

Every time a fist was about to hit the target, it would explode like fire, the lesser dao of fire explosion!

The fists would also sometimes disappeared seemingly merged with the wind and then appeared in other places, the lesser dao of the gale!

Unyielding and full of vitality like a sprout welcoming the sun, dao of growth. The fist would sometimes rotate like a drill piercing the shadows, lesser dao of the piercing.

From the outside it looked like Zaka's fist only contained an earth-type lesser dao, but, actually, it also contained the profoundness of five other types of lesser daos!

Zaka had merged all of his lesser daos into his fists with the earth type of lesser dao as the main component. He could also switch the main dao into others to emphasize a special effect of a particular dao.

This fusion was also to hide the fact that he had mastered six types of lesser dao. He had read on the books that it is unusual for a cultivator at his realm to master six complete dao.

Unless the person had a higher comprehension than him, for example, comprehended a complete grand dao, it would virtually impossible to notice the other daos hidden beside the main dao.

At most others would find the fists to be quite strange but they wouldn't realize it. Of course to be able to fuse multiple daos seamlessly required more than just a complete understanding of multiple daos.

It required a supreme genius to find a point of similarity between the multiple daos and then fuse them according to the point. This would also increase the power of the original daos to a whole new level.

Whoosh. Zaka had moved so fast that he left after shadows on his trail. It looked like multiple giants were fighting against tens of shadows.

Boom. Suddenly a shadow flew out from the confrontation and hit a boulder. It was the tiger. Its body had become a lot skinnier. But its eyes still shone bright with determination.

"To respect you, I will kill you with my strongest move." Zaka felt a little guilty to this golden-lightning violet-tiger because he had used it to test his new moves for four years.

Whoosh. Suddenly, Zaka appeared in front of the tiger, slamming down his fist. The fist moved floated down, seemingly weightless. The fist, however, was moving so fast that the tiger didn't have time to dodge.

It could only take the punch head-on. The moment the punch touched the head of the tiger, only the sound of a light thump was heard.

Thump. The tiger's body slumped down. From the outside, there were no scars or cavities, but if one looked at the inside of the tiger's head, the brain had turned into mush.

"Whew, I have let you die with an intact body, this was the least I should do, thank you." Zaka buried the tiger's body and then cupped his fist in the tomb's direction.

Whoosh. Zaka flickered and then disappeared, bringing the calm back to the peaceful forest.

'Hmm, I think my power is enough for me to survive in the outside world now, as long as I don't invite trouble upon myself.'

When Zaka was fighting against the tiger, he only used a tenth of the power of [Heavenly Giant Descends] move. If he used the full power, he could fight against an ordinary golden core cultivator.

If he used his dao domains to support his attacks he could even defeat an ordinary golden core cultivator!

And once he used his [Gigantification], he could fight an ordinary nascent soul cultivator to a standstill!

'I think it's time to learn some survival skill.'

Zaka had decided to learn divine will secret arts and disguise skills. The secret arts for dealing with the enemy he didn't want to kill.

He had told this to Zaki and he was confused.

'Boss, is there an enemy you didn't want to kill? Isn't better to kill them right away to prevent future problems?'

'Tch, only a newbie would do that. Once we found out that the enemy we about to kill has a huge backer we can use divine will secret art to knock him out.

At a time like this a disguise skill was needed, we could just change our appearance, aura, and, if needed, our cultivation level too. After that, we could just continue to live happily.'

And so he started to learn [Soul Manipulation] secret art to read and alter someone's memory. [Thousand Stars Dream] secret art to knock out the enemy.

[Turtle Breathing] secret art to hide life aura, which was perfect for hiding, and hides qi refiner's cultivation level.

[Thousand Masks] divine ability to hide or change a soul aura. It could also change one's bone structure as one please which could be used to change one's face and posture.

Two years later…

Beside a creek, an old man with a head full of silvery, white hair could be seen fishing calmly. He was sitting on a rock while holding a fishing rod made from bamboo.

Even if one saw that person from any angle, he would find that that person was just an ordinary, mortal old man!

This was Zaka after he used [Thousand Masks] divine ability along with [Turtle Breathing] secret art.

Zaka was sighing, 'I thought I could all of the skills under one year, who would have thought that learning just [Thousand Masks] would take me more than a year.

Learning [Soul Manipulation] took me six months, while [Thousand Stars Dream] and [Turtle Breathing] took me two months each'

Chomp! A fish had bitten Zaka's bait. 'Hmm, it looks like we will have a fish as our lunch today,' the fish had three meters long body.

Zaka and Zaki stood in front of the formation gate which connected the dimension of the five-elements school with the outside world.

It is a huge tower with only one floor. At the center of the tower, there was a platform in which a floating door was located. The door was the gate that connected the outside world with this dimension.

There were instructions written in one of the books from the headmaster's office. However, even after following the instruction precisely multiple times, the gate wouldn't open.

Zaka didn't know what was wrong with the formation.

"It looks like I have to learn some about the formation, at least until I can fix the formation gate." Zaka was calm.

He didn't care whether he could go out now or several years later. His only goal was to live a long, enjoyable life.

The only reason he wanted to go out was to taste all types of culinary cuisines in the outside world.

According to Zaki, each one of the three continents in this world had an area equal to the size of the earth. In the earth itself, there were many, many types of cuisines.

That means this world had three times the number of cuisines compared to the earth!

Of course, if he died, he could enjoy none of the foods. So, it all goes back to the main priority, survival.

He had to live long enough to taste every delectable food in this world! That was his goal.

After he had tasted all of the food types available, he would choose a country that had the most delicious foods and settle there for the rest of his life.

Zaka snapped back from his daydreaming. 'It's time to learn'

Five years later…

Inside the tower, Zaka was busy fixing the rune.

After five years, Zaka finally had the knowledge to fix the formation gate. Of course, his level of expertise was still far, far away from a real formation grandmaster.

He didn't learn the knowledge comprehensively, he only learnt the necessary information for fixing the formation gate.

However, it was already incredible because the formation gate which connected between two dimensions was a very high-level formation.

Zaka could already be called a formation grandmaster in the field of formation gate.

Three years ago, after five years suppressing his cultivation level at the peak of the qi gathering level, he had decided to break through to the divine sea realm. He breakthrough to the peak of the divine sea realm.

In terms of dao comprehension, he had finally reached the level of dao domain in the grand dao of the fist! And had advanced so far that he almost comprehended the entire grand dao of the fist.

This accomplishment was partly due to the battle technique that was left behind inside the headmaster's office which was mostly at the level of a complete grand dao.

However, from the level of dao domain, one could only use battle technique manuals as a reference and continued to gain comprehension based on one's understanding.

Each person's comprehension of the dao was different. This was because each person was unique, they have their personalities, way of life, life experience, and much more.

In the flowing-water lesser-dao, for example, one person might focus on the continuity of the dao, like a creek which continued to flow downward no matter the obstacle.

Another person might focus on the longing aspect of the dao, like a creek that long for the sea!

They would continue to comprehend the dao through their chosen path.

However, the result would still the same, which was the complete comprehension of the flowing-water lesser-dao.

So, Zaka's level of accomplishment on the dao mostly due to his own [Supreme Comprehension]. It had to be said that most people would reach the level of a grand-dao domain in the immortal realm.

Zaka was still at the peak divine sea level!

…

Zaka continued to condense rune formations with his divine will, fixing the broken part of the formation gate.

'Whew, finally it's done.' Zaka was sighing and then said to Zaki mentally. 'Zaki come here!'

'On my way Boss!' Zaki sent back.

'Outside world, here I come!'
