After asking Ling Taichu his questions, Fang Xiao began making simple plans for his journey to Great White and what he would do afterward.
The opening and closing times of the Taibai Ruins were not fixed. When the spatial rift dissipated, it signified that the ruins had opened. Signs would also appear in advance before they closed: widespread spatial tremors could be felt throughout the Taibai Ruins. Even if one was within some hidden realm of Great White at the time, they would not be exempt. As the tremors gradually became more frequent, the spatial rift would appear once more. Those who failed to leave in time were never seen again.
According to records in the Cultivation World, the longest opening of the Taibai Ruins had lasted three years, while the shortest had endured for only a month.
According to Fang Xiao's plan, in case the opening was too brief, his first objective upon entering would be the Sword Mound. He would first head there to obtain Sword Fiend, while refining it could wait until after he came out—provided it suited him. If time permitted, he could visit hidden realms the sect had yet to explore and try his luck with fate. As for the destruction of the Great White Sword Pellet, with no clues at present, he would let everything take its course.
Once his journey to Great White was over, he would first raise his cultivation to Foundation Establishment Late Stage. If he could condense Sword Fiend, it would be best to refine Gang Qi alongside it and form the Divine Ability Seed of the Nine Heavens Divine Fiend Sword Light. Then he would head to the North Sea in search of the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale.
As long as he successfully formed two Divine Ability Seeds
