Killing two birds with one stone, breaking through

The true story of heaven and chaos is that both of them have always existed, balancing each other out.

One day, heaven coveted more power and attacked chaos, attempting to obtain chaos's power for itself.

This started the chaos and heaven war that was still happening at this very moment, it was reflected in all aspects of human life too.

Take the constant war between the Heavenly Way and Demonic Way for example. This is a war where you can assign either chaos or heaven to either side, no one side is innocent.

Fang Xian had a great problem at the moment, a great rank eight enemy was residing in his soul land!

He was only a rank one, and no matter how strong he got, he would always be held back by the limitations of a seven-rank difference when he eventually fights his enemy.

'I need to rank up. During my rank up, I have a great advantage - chaotic harness is not just to gain battle strength, it can also be used as assistance during cultivation.' Fang Xian thought whilst stroking his chin.

When a cultivator cultivates, they need to face a derivative of chaos itself which tries to obstruct them.

During mortal stages of cultivation, chaos tries to prevent you from cultivating while heaven tries to help you and during immortal stages of cultivation, heaven tries to obstruct you and chaos helps you.

The reason for this was chaos pursued immortality which was going against the laws of heaven which don't allow anything to be eternal.

This was also a reason that the great heaven and chaos war started, it was because heaven attacked chaos due to chaos's immortality defying heaven.

'Nothing is immortal in this world, not even chaos at this moment or heaven itself is, they have to rely on constant nurturing to form some sense of false 'immortality'.' Fang Xian sighed. 'Only I will be truly immortal by refining chaos and destroying heaven!'

Chaos possessed eternal life originally until heaven created a law - the infamous law of mortality.

This law was made to suppress chaos, heaven expended quite a bit to create this law, and this law has more authority than both chaos and heaven combined, heaven at this point cannot change or edit this law at all, this law could be considered one of the the strongest things in the universe.

However, heaven and this law were connected, if heaven was destroyed, the law would cease to exist, after all, it was created with the combined power of heaven and 'that thing'.

The essence of chaos defied this law, and the law and heaven took action on chaos, completely suppressing chaos's immortality to this day.

If Fang Xian refined chaos, he would have chaos's innate immortality and if he destroyed heaven, the law and suppression would not exist anymore!

This was Fang Xian's main dream, only he could accomplish and only he would accomplish it!

To accomplish this, he needed to be a rank eight immortal at the very least, therefore he needed to cultivate and progress through the ranks as rapidly as possible.

The secret of chaotic harness helping greatly during mortal cultivation was only discovered well into Fang Xian's first life. Now, he could exploit this method to gain great benefits, this was his style of doing things!

Fang Xian sat down cross-legged with his palms pointing upwards and his eyes closed, he was in deep concentration.

To break through to a new stage, one had to purify their soul qi repeatedly until it was pure enough for the next stage, then one had to condense said soul qi into extra area of soul land and add it to their soul land, increasing the size and making the soul land produce more soul qi.

After the soul land's size increased, there would be no soul qi left, therefore the soul land would start producing more soul qi.

During this process, chaos would descend upon one's soul land. Once the chaos was cleared, the soul land would be destroyed altogether due to chaos's lingering resentment.

When the soul land exploded, it would create a huge burst of soul qi, and a cultivator then had to condense this soul qi into a new soul land.

The amount of soul qi is around a hundred times that of the soul qi one's soul land can produce, therefore the new soul land's size will be a hundred times that of the amount of land added to the soul land during the second step.

With the chaotic harness, however, it was slightly different.

The chaotic harness takes in the chaos that descends and the chaotic harness soul beast itself ranks up to the rank higher than its previous one.

Furthermore, the derivative of chaos does not destroy the soul land, chaotic harness turns chaos into something without any emotions or thoughts, therefore it has no lingering resentment.

Since his rebirth, Fang Xian had constantly been purifying his soul qi, his soul qi was at the stage of rank two, most people would purify their soul qi a little more but Fang Xian wanted to advance to rank two and get the rank two chaotic harness soul as quickly as possible, he didn't have time to waste, his enemy had made some more substantial progress and was dangerously close to breaking free.

Fang Xian condensed his soul qi into soul land area and added it to his soul land, his soul land began producing more soul qi to reach the limit of Fang Xian's soul qi production.

Fang Xian's soul land size increased, however, he was not happy, he was simply expressionless.

Fang Xian waited for a while, and eventually, the sky in Fang Xian's soul land went black.

Chaos had descended!

He ran over to the constantly diminishing pile of rubble he had created to trap the rank eight cultivator.

He planned to attract chaos towards himself, using chaotic harness to pull it in. At the same time, he would multitask, using chaotic harness and moving the large pile of rubble out of the way. Once the rank eight heavenly tribulation manifestation was revealed, it would die to the chaos!

Fang Xian had great confidence in this method for one reason. The rank eight cultivator was a heavenly tribulation manifestation, chaos was the perfect counter to it!

Chaos's true power was unfathomable, the chaos that was sent to Fang Xian's soul land was not even a fraction of its true power, it was simply a cheap imitation, it didn't deserve to hold the same name as chaos - therefore, many cultivators called this imitation fallacious chaos.

Chaos wouldn't need to use its full power to deal with Fang Xian's soul land, every derivative of chaos was influenced by the original chaos and chaos's main goal was to defeat heaven.

If something from heaven appeared, like a heavenly tribulation manifestation, it would trigger this goal, Fang Xian's soul land would be pushed to the back of its goals and once it destroyed the heavenly tribulation manifestation, it would feel as if it accomplished its goal and then leave Fang Xian's soul land, forgetting to destroy it.

Fallacious chaos was not intelligent at all, the only attribute it possessed was its might.

Overcoming chaos was the main sign of ranking up, without even having to repair his soul land at all, Fang Xian would simultaneously reach rank two and eliminate his main adversary - this was truly the meaning of killing two birds with one stone!
