The First Cultivator - Changing Existence-Chapter 809: Breaking Through -

With everything happening, Zhou Fan noticed that his cultivation speed was actually faster than it should have been. It was the same for most of the Universe, but it happened differently for him. He could only assume that it was a mental thing. It meant that he was finally feeling the pressure.

He was surrounded by countless enemies that could destroy the Universe at will, and he would be helpless to stop it. Just a single powerful being would be enough to send him retreating, or even kill him.

Zhou Fan looked into the starry sky.

"Anyone else would naturally hate this. They would feel helpless, and be scared. However, I have lived a long life with few enemies, and those who qualified to be called my enemies waited for me to come to them. This is a new feeling." Zhou Fan muttered.

"Surrounded by enemies on all sides. How could I not feel excitement!"

For the first time in his life, Zhou Fan felt the urge to drink. He took a bottle of wine from a distant planet and downed the bottle.

He continued to cultivate, more focused than ever. Sage Years passed, and his progress was even more terrifyingly fast than before.

In this time, multiple Path Creators broke through, entering the False Immortal realm. They naturally understood how perilous this time was.

Zhou Fan began the process of going beyond the Loose Immortal realm.

He felt that before doing so, he should completely master the Rule of Growth. Doing so would grant him unimaginable power.

He had naturally been comprehending it for many Sage Years, but he was stuck at the threshold of mastery.

After emptying his head and thinking for countless years, he decided to seek help. Zhou Fan stood up and turned around. Leaf, in the form of an average Oak Tree, waved.

Zhou Fan put his hand on Leaf.

"Besides cultivation, what represents growth better than a tree? I have spent countless years with you. I will now relive them." Zhou Fan said.

He did not need to use the power of time to accomplish this. He sunk into his memories, and Leaf did the same. For a moment, it seemed as though Leaf and Zhou Fan had merged into one.

From the moment Leaf was born, when Zhou Fan found him and took him as a disciple, to now, they relived their time. A Sage Year passed before Zhou Fan opened his eyes.

He smiled. Although a vast majority of their time together had been spent quietly cultivating, these were valuable moments to both of them.

Their relationship had gone far beyond that of Master and Disciple.

Leaf was like his son, and to Leaf, he was like a Father. Zhou Fan understood this now.

Sharing blood was unnecessary. Their bond was far beyond such a thing.

They had not only grown in cultivation together, but had grown an unbreakable bond.

Zhou Fan was almost unwilling to accept that he could form such a bond. It was completely foreign to him, experiencing this. It wasn't that he hadn't formed bonds before, but that those were frail and unimportant to him. This was far different.

Zhou Fan felt the Rule of Growth being mastered.

"Thank you." Zhou Fan said.

Leaf shook, as if saying his thanks was unnecessary.

In the next second, Zhou Fan felt the Rule of Growth appear around Leaf.

He shook his head. Leaf's talent was truly heaven defying.

He had comprehended a second Rule before him.

"Just remember I mastered a Rule first."

Leaf shook in acknowledgement. It was hard to joke with a tree.

With mastery of the Rule of Growth, Zhou Fan prepared to make a breakthrough. During this breakthrough, he wanted to comprehend another Rule.

He had thought about it, and had already chosen.

Each Rule comprehended should be defined by your tendencies and cultivation journey. His journey started with Chaos, and it would continue with Chaos.

Zhou Fan left the manor and journeyed towards the Origin Civilization.

He requested protection from interference while he broke through.

They were shocked by his cultivation speed, but nodded nonetheless.

Zhou Fan began to break through outside of the Origin Civilization. Many formations and arrays were set up around him, with powerful people keeping watch as well.

A powerful feeling filled Zhou Fan as his breakthrough began. He did not need any pressure. The pressure faced from the situation within the Origin Era was more than enough.

The people surrounding him watched in awe. They too wanted to see how the first person in history entered the —--- realm. It would benefit them just by seeing it.

The commotion also attracted outside attention.

Discussion occurred among those who had not allied with Zhou Fan and the Origin Era.

"If we don't attack soon, he'll reach a strength we cannot contend with. You know how powerful he is within a realm."

"So what if he enters the —-- realm, or even the —-- realm? We have plenty of time."

Differing opinions were made visible, but everyone agreed that Zhou Fan was becoming more and more of a threat.

Meanwhile, Zhou Fan's breakthrough continued. As it furthered, the Rule of Growth appeared. At first, the people surrounding him merely looked at with interest, but the Rule of Growth soon began to give off an incredibly dense light.

In mere moments, the Rule of Growth began to pressure all of them.

They looked at it in shock and terror.

"Is that what I think it is!?" One person shouted uncontrollably.

Zhou Fan's enemies, who were watching from afar, were stunned into absolute silence.

"Is-Is that a mastered Rule?!" One of them managed to stutter out.

"I thought only a Celestial Emperor could master a Rule?" One said in confusion, doubting everything he knew.

"This must be the true path of cultivation, what the prophecy spoke about!" An extremely powerful voice said.

Even among all those who had come from the future, the one who spoke was at the absolute peak of strength.

"Don't get any ideas." One of the people surrounding Zhou Fan said.

He looked over, and most of Zhou Fan's enemies stepped back uncontrollably.

"I still can't believe the revered Sword King of Nirvana Gate has joined sides with the First Immortal."
