In addition, Ying Xiong was the only Path Creator in the faction, which ant it didn't truly stand at the top.
Many Sage Years passed, and Zhou Fan was finally ready. Surprisingly, the green fish had actually reached the Peak of the Great Dao realm. Ten or so Sage Years ago, it had trapped a bunch of Path Creators and slowly stole their ti, reaching the Peak in a single bound.
Despite that, the fish did not like doing this sort of thing.
In his words, "It would have been fine to waste a few thousand Sage Years, but the currents of ti hurry along. Great changes are coming."
And great changes were indeed coming.
Zhou Fan planned to journey out and start his breakthrough, when he was stopped by the fish.
"Mr. Zhou. I am here to request your assistance." He said respectfully.
He hovered in the air, looking almost the sa as he had long ago. The only difference was a pair of whiskers on his face.
Zhou Fan had a good impression of him, so he did not turn him away.
"What is it?"
The fish spoke with urgency. "I can feel the warnings of ti. It is fluctuating to the point I can only imagine it is having a panic attack. I need you to help do sothing to strengthen it."
Zhou Fan was surprised. "So what can I do?"
"I have a plan. I want to create a river of ti, sothing which encompasses ti and holds it steady. With this, ti can be stabilized not just now, but for all of eternity." The fish explained.
"I simply need you to help tap into the Universe's rule of ti."
Zhou Fan nodded. Rules had beco common knowledge among Path Creators. Zhou Fan himself had spread this information. It was known as the next level of power.
However, after thinking of it, Zhou Fan shook his head. "The rules won't be enough."
The fish was confused. "Why?"
"In the path of cultivation, rules are but another step to take. Eventually, it will be left behind. What you need should be called the Source of Ti. This would be the true origin of ti that exists within the Universe. If the Universe were to grow, this source too would grow. That ans that the best ti, perhaps the only ti to tap into it, is now, before the Universe grows and the Source of Ti gets stronger and unattainable."
The fish was stunned. It could have never imagined such a thing. "And you can help find this Source of Ti?"
Zhou Fan shrugged. "The existence of the Source of Ti is rely a hypothetical, sothing I could not find no matter how much I searched. Contrary to your thoughts, I need you to help touch into this source. Neither of us would be able to do it alone. We can begin searching now."
Saying this, a formless power bursted out from Zhou Fan's body.
He grabbed the fish and held it. The fish did not hesitate, bursting out with the Power of Ti.
In an instant, he felt as if a star had appeared above his head.
Zhou Fan reached out and grabbed it.
The fish and Zhou Fan burst apart.
In Zhou Fan's hand was sothing that seed like a small green star.
Fluctuations of ti ca off of it, controlling the entire Universe.
This was a power even above the Rules. This was the truest and most pure form of ti, the origin of it all. Zhou Fan felt as if infinite power was in his hand.
Unfortunately, he was simply too responsible. He created a thread and attached it to the Source of Ti.
He then watched on as it disappeared.
The fish stood stunned. "What... What did you just do?!"
"I got what you needed." Zhou Fan said.
He held the thread in his hands.
"No! You had the Source of Ti and you let it go. Do you understand how much power you held? You could have done anything! Literally anything!" The fish was on the verge of a ntal breakdown.
Zhou Fan shook his head. "What I seek is infinite power, but not in the form of external objects. Besides, it was too much power to allow any being to wield. You're lucky I'm giving you this thread."
The fish seed to calm down a little, and then lit up as if having a thought. "If necessary, we can just sense it again, right?"
"Nope." Zhou Fan said. "We found it once, and it won't let itself be found again."
The fish was in disbelief, unable to speak.
"Do you want a river of ti or not?" Zhou Fan asked.
It snapped out of its trance, nodding. Over the next few Sage Years, the fish and Zhou Fan spent all their ti creating the river of ti and connecting it with the thread. When it was finished and the thread was connected, the thread disappeared, replaced with an invisible connection to the Source of Ti that could not be seen through or used in the slightest.
The fish was unwilling to let the Source of Ti go, but it was lucky to even have gotten a thread, just as Zhou Fan had said. It wasn't ungrateful.
The fish thanked Zhou Fan. "I can feel that ti has cald down. Whatever great changes are about to take place, I am ready."
Zhou Fan nodded.
As if nothing had ever happened, he continued towards where he would break through, the center of the Universe.
Although he had passed up on an opportunity to beco infinitely powerful and completely control ti, he did not feel bad. Even if the opportunity appeared countless tis, he would reject it.
He was not a Master of Ti, or so Path Creator of Ti, but a cultivator.
He only desired to reach the peak of cultivation, whether it was stronger or weaker than controlling the Source of Ti.
