Chapter 1041: We Are Willing to Follow Great Emperor Fang Yu!
In the Hall of Artifacts, there were many treasures.
Three passages led to three locations, each location having several rooms, among which were many Heavenly Divine Artifacts, as well as some rather precious artifact-refining materials.
When Fang Yu entered one of the rooms, there were sixty-eight counters inside, and on each counter sat a single Heavenly Divine Artifact.
Some Heavenly Divine Artifacts were heavy battle-blades, some were long narrow battle-blades, some were curved blades, some were long swords, some were short swords, some were soft swords, some were nine-section whips…
All kinds of Heavenly Divine Artifacts, sixty-eight in total — forty-two lower-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, twenty-two mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and four upper-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts.
Heavenly Divine Artifacts seemed to be worthless.
But even such treasures, placed in the God Realm, would be extremely valuable; placed in the present Immortal-Demon-Monster Realm, they would be treasures rare in all the world — any single one leaking out could let a minor immortal rise to prominence.
And now, these Heavenly Divine Artifacts theoretically belonged to Fang Yu.
Drawing all these Heavenly Divine Artifacts into his body, Fang Yu stepped forward again, entering another room. What met his eyes was a flowing river in the void, and on the river drifted a small boat.
The spatial layout of this room was a canyon, with a river in which a boat drifted. And on the valley beside the river stood a stone house, and next to the stone house was also a towering gray stone tower.
"Here there are Primordial Spirit Treasures — I suppose you should be able to discover them."
"Uncle Fu" had great faith in Fang Yu's soul power.
"Mm, indeed, that small boat should be a Primordial Spirit Treasure."
Fang Yu's gaze fell upon the small boat on the river's surface; although the river flowed ceaselessly, the small boat remained suspended.
"Right, that boat is one of the three Primordial Spirit Treasures. This boat is called the 'Flying Yoke' Divine Vessel — a flying spirit treasure, and even in the God Realm it is an extremely precious auxiliary-type Primordial Spirit Treasure."
Uncle Fu nodded.
"And that stone tower — is it also a Primordial Spirit Treasure?"
Fang Yu stepped across, passing the river before him, and thus arrived before the stone tower.
"Correct, this is another Primordial Spirit Treasure, called the God-Locking Tower!"
A look of admiration appeared on Uncle Fu's face.
"As for the other spirit treasure, it should be in the stone house."
Fang Yu entered the stone house. He could see a meditation cushion inside, and behind the cushion was a counter, and upon that counter sat a pair of nearly transparent gloves.
"These gloves are the most offensive of the three Primordial Spirit Treasures, called the 'Snow Silk Gloves.' With these three spirit treasures, even if you ascend to the God Realm, you will be able to gallop about in the God Realm thereafter."
Uncle Fu said with a slight smile.
The Flying Yoke Divine Vessel, the God-Locking Tower, and the Snow Silk Gloves — these were the three Primordial Spirit Treasures Fang Yu obtained here.
However, although they bore the label of Primordial Spirit Treasures, Fang Yu always felt that the caliber of these three Primordial Spirit Treasures seemed not as high as the Eight Divisions Floating Pagoda; especially the Flying Yoke Divine Vessel — once Fang Yu ascended to the realm of God King, this flying Primordial Spirit Treasure seemed to serve no purpose at all.
Of course, in the lands of the God Realm, having a flying Primordial Spirit Treasure was not bad either; after all, ordinary divine beings basically walked, or ran to deliver messages.
The Immortal-Demon-Monster Realm's cross-star-domain great development, upon reaching the God Realm, directly developed into a barbaric age — walking and running.
"'Flying Yoke' Divine Vessel and God-Locking Tower, these two auxiliary Primordial Spirit Treasures — if you have time, it is best to refine the 'Flying Yoke' Divine Vessel first. As for the Snow Silk Gloves, there's no rush; you already have the divine spear 'Remnant Snow,' and your attack power is already very strong. Perhaps if you refine all these magic treasures, it would take tens of thousands of years; of course, your soul power I cannot see through, so perhaps it will be faster."
As Uncle Fu spoke, he invited Fang Yu toward another room.
Around this house floated golden scrolls, a full several thousand of them.
"Those scrolls were left behind by the master, recording all manner of techniques, secrets, or various kinds of knowledge — their value cannot be described in numbers. Among them, descriptions of medicinal herbs, all sorts of strange demon beasts, dangerous places throughout the God Realm, and so on, are extremely detailed. Of course, among these golden scrolls, a full nine hundred record the master's insights into formations. You must completely comprehend the essence of formations in these nine hundred scrolls before you can be said to have taken the first step in formations; perhaps that will require you to spend several hundred years."
Uncle Fu pointed at the many golden scrolls as he spoke.
"Is that so? The essence of formations — is it really that hard, requiring several hundred years to read nine hundred scrolls? I don't believe it."
Fang Yu reached out with a great hand, his magic power directly seizing a scroll. With a sweep of his divine sense, all the formation essentials within were comprehended by him in an instant; the so-called various formation mysteries and essentials held no difficulty whatsoever in his eyes.
Formations — the wonder of formations — this must be comprehended in the Eternal Life Realm. Without comprehending the mysteries of Heaven and Man, without comprehending the profoundness of formations, how could one ascend to the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities Heavenly Man Realm? Only by comprehending the mysteries of formations can one condense the divine abilities one cultivates into great formations within one's body, and a cultivator's lifespan will also increase due to the condensation of great formations within the body, reaching eight hundred years.
It can be said that every cultivator who reaches the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities Heavenly Man Realm is a formation master, able to connect their cave dwelling with the tides of heaven and earth, with the underground earth-fire, and so on, greatly enhancing the might of their cave dwelling.
And as for matters like reading books, reading scrolls — for Fang Yu, who cultivated the Eternal Life Law, this was even less of a problem. Having cultivated his brain all the way to the Longevity 3rd Stage Cave Heaven Realm, looking at the countless bits of knowledge within those scrolls was but a single moment's matter.
So in an instant, Fang Yu comprehended all the content on one scroll.
Then he began studying other scrolls.
"How is this possible? How could your speed of reading scrolls be so fast? A scroll like this, the knowledge contained within, in this Immortal-Demon-Monster Realm would take at least a year to read, or several years, and one cannot read continuously — one must rest before one can continue reading. Have you truly fully comprehended the formation mysteries recorded on this scroll?"
Seeing that Fang Yu seemed to have fully mastered the content of one scroll and was looking at other scrolls, a look of great astonishment appeared on Uncle Fu's face, and he could not help but ask out of curiosity.
This had already completely surpassed common sense.
"Yes, mastering the Way of Formations doesn't seem that difficult. As for reading these scrolls — if one breath couldn't even finish one scroll, that speed would really be too slow."
Fang Yu's magic power seized scroll after scroll, and as his divine sense circulated, he mastered the formation mysteries upon every single scroll.
In fact, the Way of Formations, in the Eternal Life Realm, had somewhat the quality of one method mastered, all methods mastered — especially since Fang Yu had spent over ten years refining the Eight Divisions Floating Pagoda, he himself was already a grand master of artifact-refining, so comprehending this world's formations was naturally very fast for him.
In less than a while, the nine hundred scrolls on the Way of Formations had all been read by him.
Moreover, he could employ them skillfully at will.
Uncle Fu tried testing Fang Yu with a few questions, and discovered that Fang Yu had truly mastered everything. Immediately, a look of having seen a ghost appeared on his face: "How could this be? I'm afraid even the master could not have imagined there would be such a person in the Immortal-Demon-Monster Realm. Even the master, back then, walking the Way of Formations, was not as fast as Fang Yu. He spent several million years on the Way of Formations, and in order to comprehend higher levels of the Way of Formations, he even re-cultivated, re-read, spending over a hundred million years, and finally became the foremost person in the Way of Formations in the God Realm. But now… Master, your Way of Formations has found a successor!"
Uncle Fu's face was full of shock, and his regard for Fang Yu grew increasingly respectful. Merely this display by Fang Yu caused Uncle Fu to confirm Fang Yu as his master.
An ordinary person would need several hundred years to comprehend these nine hundred formation scrolls, and to step into the first level of the Way of Formations might require several hundred thousand years. But Fang Yu comprehended the nine hundred formation scrolls in nine hundred breaths of time — such a genius could completely step into deeper levels of the Way of Formations and become the successor of the Way of Formations.
"Young Master, I now address you as Young Master. Once Young Master refines the Fire-Refining Hand Ring inside the stone house, you will be the true master of the entire Lost God Palace."
Uncle Fu's demeanor was now extremely respectful. Leading Fang Yu inside, Fang Yu immediately saw that within this floating house, a warm red light radiated; the source of the red light was a hand ring floating in the center of the house.
"That is the Fire-Refining Hand Ring, composed of nine Purple Source Fire Pearls. Each of these Purple Source Fire Pearls is itself a third-rate Primordial Spirit Treasure, but after being refined by the master, it became a second-rate Primordial Spirit Treasure. Of course, for a master of artifact-refining, it is comparable to a first-rate Primordial Spirit Treasure."
Uncle Fu said. "As long as Young Master performs the blood-drop refinement, you can obtain this Primordial Spirit Treasure."
Fang Yu gave an "mm," reached out his hand to drop blood, and performed the blood-drop master-acknowledgment on this Primordial Spirit Treasure.
"When the master left behind this Fire-Refining Hand Ring, he tried to lower the difficulty of refinement. Originally it would only have required several thousand years to successfully refine, but with Young Master's refinement speed, I don't know whether it will be several hundred years, or several tens of years."
Uncle Fu said with emotion. "In the God Realm, to refine a Primordial Spirit Treasure innately nurtured would probably require several hundred thousand years; some formidable Primordial Spirit Treasures require even more astonishing time. If the Primordial Spirit Treasure resists, it might be impossible to refine even in a million years. Fortunately, this Fire-Refining Hand Ring was personally refined by the master, so Young Master only needs to spend several thousand years, or several hundred years."
"……"
Fang Yu remarked that time in the God Realm truly was worthless.
A Hongmeng spiritual treasure that would take several thousand years, or even hundreds of thousands of years to refine — by then the daylily buds would have gone cold.
Refining a magic treasure — where would it need so much time?
Fang Yu's magic power and soul force surged directly into this Hongmeng spiritual treasure, like a rolling flood, like a surging Dahe, and wherever they passed, every restriction of the Hongmeng spiritual treasure was refined as easily as rotten wood; in just a few breaths, this second-grade Hongmeng spiritual treasure was refined by Fang Yu.
"The Great Soul Art really packs a punch."
Having refined this core treasure in an instant, Fang Yu felt a spiritual connection with the entire Lost God Palace; with the slightest twitch of his thoughts, the entire Lost God Palace entered his body, and when Uncle Fu saw this scene, an expression of utter disbelief appeared on his face.
"Master! You actually refined this Hongmeng spiritual treasure so quickly — this truly exceeds my imagination. Even a Heavenly God of the God Realm would need several hundred or several thousand years to refine it, yet Master refined it so quickly!"
Uncle Fu felt that his life had gained countless shocks and sighs after meeting this new master.
Take those nine hundred scrolls of the "Array Dao" — an ordinary person, if they wished to fully comprehend them, would need over a hundred years just to finish reading them monthly, yet the new master actually mastered them completely within a few hundred breaths.
And refining this second-grade Hongmeng spiritual treasure — even if placed in the God Realm, letting a divine being or Heavenly God of the God Realm refine it would still take several thousand years, yet the new master only needed a few breaths.
That is a second-grade Hongmeng spiritual treasure, not some cheap cabbage!
He simply could not figure out why — it had already exceeded his imagination.
"Congratulations, Feather Emperor, on refining this supreme treasure. I, Bai Fa the Blood Demon, Xue Yileng, am willing to throw in my lot with Feather Emperor, my lord!"
At this moment, the Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors not far from Fang Yu all felt their scalps go numb; they watched all of this happen with their own eyes, watching the matter head down an irreversible path.
