Traveling through a world that has already been opened takes ten days.
Traveling through a new world that has not yet been opened takes one hundred days.
For Fang Ming to open the third world from the first world, this unseen world naturally requires one hundred days.
One hundred days is not a long time.
After repeatedly traveling back and forth between the zombie world and the cultivation world, Fang Ming accumulated enough time to enter the third world.
As soon as he arrived, Fang Ming encountered a war. Many farmers wielding farming tools and knights on horseback were fighting against enemies similarly equipped.
To call it a war, the numbers were not very large, with each side mostly comprising only a hundred people.
However, Fang Ming's landing spot appeared directly within the sight of both sides, on the battlefield.
The sudden appearance of this person on the battlefield, in the first world, would be considered a celestial master. In the second world, the first reaction of those survivors who often struggled on the brink of death would be to open fire directly at the target, as it was difficult to guarantee that it wasn't a mutated zombie.
And in this third world, Fang Ming quickly saw their reaction.
Several knights on horseback, shouting in a language Fang Ming did not understand, charged directly at him, seemingly intending to kill him before anything else.
These seemed to be knights from medieval Europe?
Fang Ming made the following judgment: the worlds his world-traveling talent traversed seemed to conform to certain characteristics of Earth's fictional works. The cultivators in the first world represented Xianxia novels, and the zombies in the second world represented apocalyptic novels. Therefore, it was understandable that this third world represented fantasy novels.
With this realization, Fang Ming, based on their armor and warhorses, initially believed this to be a fantasy world, such as a world of magic and knights.
The worldview might be similar to the Middle Ages, but…
"I always feel like these knights don't possess any extraordinary power."
Fang Ming made a judgment.
And then, he verified his judgment.
Wielding a low-grade magical artifact sword pellet traded from the cultivation world.
Fang Ming simply pointed his finger, and a roaring sound erupted, echoing tens of meters around. Before the knights could show any signs of fear, the flying sword, to their disbelief, severed their heads.
As their heads fell from the air, their bodies split in two, only then did these knights realize their deaths.
The farmers began to panic. Clearly, the death of a few knight lords was no different than the sky falling for them, and it happened under such unbelievable circumstances.
The two warring factions stopped and cried out in alarm, fleeing.
But Fang Ming remained in place, verifying his guess.
"As I expected, these knights have no extraordinary powers."
"Is this not a fantasy world, but a historical world? A historical world of medieval Europe without extraordinary powers?"
"No... I can't jump to conclusions yet. Perhaps this is still a fantasy world, and the knights I killed were just ordinary people."
Fang Ming retracted his sword pellet.
The sword pellet was a magical artifact he had acquired by trading zombie crystals from the zombie world with the cultivation world.
In the cultivation world, there is a legend that sword immortals can behead people from a thousand miles away. Once a flying sword is unleashed, its attack is definitely supersonic, killing a person a thousand miles away at extreme speeds exceeding the speed of sound.
This was just a legend. In reality, Fang Ming did not know if the Sect Master of Baiyun Sect could achieve such a feat, but at least ordinary core disciples and elders could not do it – this was confirmed by Fang Ming's investigation within Baiyun Sect.
This information was true, as no one in Baiyun Sect, no cultivator, had any reason to hide anything from Fang Ming, a mere outer disciple.
There was no need to lie to him.
The so-called beheading from a thousand miles away was a supreme achievement among sword immortals. Unlike ordinary cultivators who practiced flying swords, those who cultivated their flying swords to the highest realm achieved a state of unity between man and sword. Even when controlling a flying sword, it would transform into a form of rainbow light,
Instead of, as with cultivators who were just beginning to learn flying swords, stepping on the flying sword and flying.
If stepping on a flying sword to fly required consideration of air pressure, temperature, and wind speed, then the achievement of man and sword unity, transforming into a rainbow light, was equivalent to advancing in the form of energy, not matter. Naturally, it did not require considering so many factors. Both its power and evasive maneuvers increased exponentially, thus it was also a superior realm in the way of the sword.
In the cultivation of sword immortals, there were two levels: one was being able to use a flying sword to lift one's body and fly, called stepping sword flight; the second was the unity of man and sword, transforming into a rainbow light to escape.
Clearly, the latter had much more prestige than the former.
However, all of this was temporarily irrelevant to Fang Ming.
Fang Ming had only purchased a low-grade magical artifact sword pellet. Since it was a low-grade magical artifact, the lowest tier of magical artifacts, one obviously could not expect too much. Forget about transforming into a rainbow light or achieving unity of man and sword; even stepping on a flying sword to tread through the air was impossible.
After all, flying by stepping on a flying sword, while appearing less impressive and requiring consideration of many factors and concerns, was ultimately flying through personal strength. And all of this was beyond the capabilities of a beginner like Fang Ming and a mere low-grade magical artifact flying sword.
One should not expect too much from a low-grade magical artifact.
In the path of sword immortals, there was never a sword immortal who used a low-grade magical artifact as their natal flying sword. To cultivate into a true sword immortal, the first requirement was a flying sword of excellent quality, and Fang Ming did not have such a condition.
However, even if he hadn't even reached the entry level on the path of sword immortals, and his flying sword couldn't even carry himself to fly, it was still a low-grade magical artifact, and it was certainly capable of instantly killing mortals.
Mortals wearing heavy, thick armor – weren't they still mortals?
Infantry without armor and cavalry with armor made no difference to Fang Ming.
After all, Fang Ming had cultivated his Yi Qi Gong to the first level three months ago.
And now, three months later, using zombie crystals to exchange for cultivation energy, even though he was very careful not to let too many zombie crystals flow into the Baiyun Sect's trade market to avoid being discovered by anyone in the sect.
He only cautiously traded a portion of the zombie crystals.
He still exchanged for a large amount of spiritual rice and elixirs, and then raised his cultivation of Yi Qi Gong from the first level to the third level.
