Chapter 165

If the divine ability Fang Yu cultivated was the Great Wood Art, one of the eight great divine abilities of the Yuhua Sect, then he could cultivate here to an extremely formidable level.

Of course, the divine ability he cultivated was the Seven-Repair Edge of Jade Flame, and he had already cultivated it to the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities Daoist Gang Qi Realm; the next realm was to comprehend yin and yang, raising his cultivation base to the Yin-Yang Realm.

"Who is that? How did a male disciple fly up to my Jialan Peak?"

"Mm, why is he also bringing Senior Sister Xu Yue'er and Junior Sister Ye Yu? Could it be that Senior Sister Jialan invited him?"

"I don't know, let's watch and see."

Just then, some of the female disciples cultivating on Jialan Peak saw Fang Yu, and looks of surprise appeared on their faces.

"So it's Senior Brother Fang. Senior Sister Jialan has been waiting for you for a long time."

On Jialan Peak, a woman in yellow walked out, and her expression shifted when she saw Fang Yu.

This woman in yellow was precisely the Long Xuan Fang Yu had once met. Still at the peak of the 10th Stage of Physical Body Divine Transformation, she was the outstanding female disciple who held first place on the inner disciple Shanhe Rankings, only one step away from the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Seeing Fang Yu arrive, she came forward to greet him.

"Junior Sister Long Xuan, it's been some days."

Fang Yu landed on Jialan Peak and spoke to Long Xuan.

Not long ago, when he had seen this Miss Long Xuan, he had to call her Senior Sister, but now he was a cultivator of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, while Long Xuan was still a cultivator of the 10th Stage of Physical Body, making her now his junior sister.

Long Xuan could no longer call him junior brother.

These were the rules of the Cultivation World — the strong naturally ranked higher in seniority.

"Senior Brother Fang, it has indeed been some days. Senior Brother Fang has already cultivated to the Divine Ability Secret Realm."

Long Xuan's gaze swept over, sensing that Fang Yu's body was filled with a power she could not resist at all.

Once that aura was unleashed, it could instantly destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

This was the Divine Ability Secret Realm — one step in, and it was truly one step to heaven.

"Junior Brother Fang Yu, you've come."

Also at this moment, from the West Jialan Palace on Jialan Peak, a woman's voice rang out. Immediately after, a massive surge of magic power descended from the air, transforming into a flight of steps, inviting Fang Yu to enter.

Fang Yu stepped forward and arrived inside a pill chamber.

Female disciples such as Long Xuan, Xu Yue'er, and Ye Yu also followed him in.

"This pill furnace is truly enormous."

The moment Fang Yu stood firm, he saw that within this pill chamber stood a massive pill furnace, a full ten people tall, with divine beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin coiled around it, various talisman lights flickering, and treasure light gleaming.

This pill furnace was absolutely a top-grade treasure artifact!

Fang Yu looked at this pill furnace with some emotion, because his current pill furnace was still only at the level of a magic artifact; he didn't even have a single spiritual artifact-level pill furnace, let alone a treasure artifact-level one.

To obtain such a treasure artifact pill furnace, one would have to go out to gain experience — perhaps only then could one get one.

Fang Yu's gaze noticed that in front of the pill furnace sat a woman. Beneath her was a massive lotus platform. She sat atop the lotus platform, her eyes like a dream, nebulae shifting and changing. When she spoke, there was a pure and serene feeling as if celestial flowers were blooming.

"Junior Brother Fang Yu, you've come."

"Greetings, Senior Sister Jialan."

Fang Yu spoke.

The other female disciples also spoke together.

This dream-like woman was none other than West Jialan, one of the five great true disciples, an expert who had cultivated to the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities Golden Core Realm!

3rd Stage of Divine Abilities Daoist Gang Qi Realm.

4th Stage of Divine Abilities Yin-Yang Realm.

5th Stage of Divine Abilities Heavenly Man Realm.

6th Stage of Divine Abilities Return to Oneness Realm.

Only after that came the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities Golden Core Realm.

The woman before him was a full four realms higher than Fang Yu's realm. Although she had not moved, her body naturally carried a terrifying aura.

"Junior Brother Fang, I've heard your name. Not long ago you had just been promoted to an inner disciple and met with Long'er. I didn't expect that in such a short time, your cultivation base had actually already reached the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities Daoist Gang Qi Realm."

Jialan's gaze swept over, as if she had seen through Fang Yu's realm at a glance, and a peculiar expression appeared on her face.

"What, the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities Daoist Gang Qi Realm?"

"Senior Brother Fang Yu's cultivation base has already reached this point? I had thought Senior Brother Fang Yu's realm was the Magical Power Realm."

"It's only been so long, and Senior Brother Fang has broken through realm after realm, reaching the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities! I've heard that other true disciples who want to step into the True Qi Realm need several years or even decades of effort, and to step into the Daoist Gang Qi Realm, they need several decades of tempering!"

Female disciples such as Xu Yue'er and Ye Yu turned pale with shock, and even Long Xuan showed a look of astonishment on her face.

Their realms were below the Divine Ability Secret Realm, so naturally they could not see exactly what level Fang Yu had cultivated to. They had only thought that in these days Fang Yu was still at the 1st Stage of Divine Abilities Magical Power Realm, but they had never expected that Senior Brother Fang Yu had actually already cultivated to the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities!

Such a cultivation speed was truly too fast.

One had to know that true disciple senior brothers like Jin Shi, who had long since stepped into the Divine Ability Secret Realm, were still at the 2nd Stage of Divine Abilities True Qi Realm.

Long Xuan's gaze carefully examined Fang Yu, as if wanting to see why this Senior Brother Fang's cultivation had progressed so quickly.

When she was first among the inner disciples, this Senior Brother Fang had only just been promoted to an inner disciple.

Now she was still first among the inner disciples, but this Senior Brother Fang had already stepped into the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities.

It wasn't that she hadn't cultivated diligently, but compared to Senior Brother Fang Yu, her progress was truly too slow.

"By some luck I obtained a few fortuitous encounters and cultivated to this realm, but as for the Yin-Yang Realm, I still don't know how long it will take to step into it."

Fang Yu smiled and acknowledged his Daoist Gang Qi Realm cultivation.

"The Yin-Yang Realm, this realm requires comprehending yin and yang, dividing yin and yang, and holds quite a bit of mystery. When I comprehended this realm back then, it took me several years to step into it, but I can offer you some guidance."

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Jialan unhurriedly spoke.

"Of course, this time on the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, Junior Brother Fang saved Yue'er and Yu'er. The merit is great, and I must also thank you."

As Jialan spoke, she waved her hand, and five flying swords flew out from her sleeve, landing before Fang Yu.

"These five flying swords are a set of spiritual artifact flying swords. They are something I obtained once while exploring an ancient immortal's ruins. I'll give them to Junior Brother Fang as a token of thanks."

Fang Yu looked over, and these five spiritual flying swords were each transparent and pure, like ice crystals, and with the slightest movement could display tremendous power.

He did not refuse, and accepted this set of spiritual flying swords.

Qielan's generosity was truly lavish—these five spiritual flying swords simply given away, something even he could not bring himself to do now.

But Qielan had after all already cultivated to the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, and could refine spiritual artifacts himself, so while flying swords of the spiritual artifact level were extremely precious to others, to Qielan they meant little.

Of course Fang Yu did not expect Qielan Society to gift him a treasure above spiritual artifacts. Every single treasure artifact was extremely precious; even Qielan would not be willing to part with a treasure artifact for him.

But after Fang Yu obtained five spiritual flying swords all at once, his strength rose greatly, which was just right to kick the dharma artifact precious sword from within the Seven Fiends Gourd out.

Up to now, the spiritual flying swords he possessed, together with the spirit-communicating precious sword from the Shrouding Heaven Realm that rivaled treasure artifacts, could in fact raise the might of the Seven Killings Sword Formation by a great deal once more, and would make it far more convenient to go out seeking immortal opportunities in the future.

That's good.
