Chapter 189: Fragments of the World Tree — None?

"We have honored guests!"

The few disciples guarding the main gate, who were at the 8th and 9th Stages of Physical Body, immediately revealed expressions of utter reverence upon seeing Fang Yu display a measure of magic power.

The Divine Ability Secret Realm — a single step to ascend to the heavens.

For cultivators below the Divine Ability Secret Realm, any existence who had stepped into the Divine Ability Secret Realm was an absolutely powerful figure, and must be shown respect.

"Honored guests have arrived?"

Two more disciples came out from within the Xuangui Pavilion. These two disciples' cultivation bases were higher — solidly at the 10th Stage of Physical Body, the Divine Transformation Realm. When their gazes fell upon Fang Yu, Lotus Cloud Fairy, Green Qiao Fairy, and Long Xuan, they all showed expressions of respect. "Four senior brothers and sisters, please follow us."

Fang Yu nodded and followed these two disciples into the Xuangui Pavilion.

The Xuangui Pavilion truly resembled an imperial palace — layer by layer, with scenery so beautiful one could not take it all in. Arrays were everywhere, flowing with radiant light, clearly arranged by an Elder at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm.

It was Fang Yu's first time entering such a place, and he found it somewhat novel. As for Lotus Cloud Fairy and Green Qiao Fairy, their gazes were calm, surveying the scenes within from a lofty vantage.

Long Xuan seemed to have been here before as well; her expression was calm.

"Senior brother actually killed the thirty-eighth ranked of the Forty Great Bandits — that Death's End Island Master, who for years stirred up trouble on the great sea, killing people and seizing their goods, causing cultivators all under heaven to develop a fear of the sea. Our Wanguang Xiandao issued a bounty precisely to call upon cultivators under heaven to slay the great bandits and restore peace to the ocean. Many cultivators wished to go into the sea to slay them, but we never expected senior brother to beat them to it."

The disciple at the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Transformation Realm, accompanying Fang Yu said with feeling.

"Indeed, many people wanted to go slay the Death's End Island Master, but that Death's End Island Master remained at large. Now that he has perished at senior brother's hands, you can indeed receive the reward from our Wanguang Xiandao."

Another disciple spoke up. "However, would senior brother and sisters like to purchase some things? You can use this reward directly in place of payment."

"I do indeed need to buy some medicinal ingredients, and of course I also want to sell some things."

Fang Yu waved his hand casually, and his magic power transformed into characters one by one, falling onto a sheet of paper, on which was written the Five Element rare treasures he needed.

His current cultivation base was the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, Gang Qi Realm. By rights, he did not need to prepare Five Element rare treasures now, but this matter could be prepared in advance. Any wood-attribute ones would be best — if there were fragments of some wood-attribute heaven-and-earth rare treasure, that would be ideal.

Water-attribute, metal-attribute, earth-attribute ones would also be welcome.

Fang Yu waved his hand, and a stack of Spirit Artifact-grade clothing flew out. These clothes were Spirit Artifact garments treasured by the Death's End Island Master and other Heavenly Demon Kings; putting them up for sale would definitely be very popular.

Spirit Artifact-grade clothing was always a hot commodity for sects. After all, within a sect, disciples at the Physical Body Secret Realm were still in the majority, but Spirit Artifacts could only be refined by experts at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm, and required rare materials.

Even when a Heavenly Man Realm expert refined Spirit Artifacts, it consumed a great deal of magic power. Such experts also had to cultivate themselves; they could not devote themselves wholeheartedly to refining Spirit Artifact clothing for sect disciples.

Generally speaking, even with sufficient materials, ten Spirit Artifact garments would still take an Elder a year or two to refine.

How precious was a year or two of time? Without reaching the Longevity Secret Realm, one's lifespan was limited — who would be willing to waste time?

"There are actually this many Spirit Artifact garments."

The two disciples at the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Transformation Realm, exchanged a glance, and looks of surprise appeared on each of their faces. However, they said nothing, mentally calculating for a moment. "Senior brother and sisters may wait in the inner hall. We will take these Spirit Artifact garments and the Death's End Island Master's head to settle the account, then bring over the Five Element rare treasures senior brother needs."

"Besides that, I also need a pill room to cultivate for some time."

Fang Yu added.

"Open one for me and my junior sister as well."

Lotus Cloud Fairy chimed in at this moment.

"That is no problem. Our Wanguang Sea Market prohibits fighting. Many cultivators choose to come here to stay and cultivate — it is the safest place there is."

Both disciples nodded.

The sea was dangerous at every moment. Coming to the sea market opened by Wanguang Xiandao to find a place to cultivate was the safest thing possible, because fighting was prohibited in the sea market. Anyone who came here to fight and kill would first be dealt with by the Elders of Wanguang Xiandao.

Cultivating here would be exactly the same as cultivating within the Yuhua Sect; it should be very safe.

Fang Yu and Lotus Cloud Fairy split up. Fang Yu brought Long Xuan to one room, while Lotus Cloud Fairy brought Green Qiao to another.

Those two also needed to cultivate. The trial in the Flesh-and-Blood Quagmire had clearly brought great progress to their cultivation bases as well.

"Senior brother Fang, this time I think I can definitely break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm."

Once Long Xuan entered the room, she immediately sat cross-legged. Her spirit had already reached an extreme state during this trial, and she would soon be able to step into the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

"It is time to break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm. I am very much looking forward to you becoming the next true disciple of our Yuhua Sect."

Fang Yu's gaze rested on Long Xuan, and he nodded.

She had also reached the time to break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Only by breaking through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm would this trial be considered complete for Long Xuan. As for Fang Yu himself, with Long Xuan breaking through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, Qianlan would have to give him some benefit.

This was a process of mutual advancement.

I lend a hand to your sect's disciples, and naturally you must lend me a hand as well.

Fang Yu's mind stirred, and suddenly clusters of fog burst forth from within his body. The fog was bizarre and otherworldly, filled with strange visions, filling the entire room.

Both Fang Yu himself and Long Xuan were concealed within it. All traces of them transformed into illusory scenes, like a mirage.

This was one of the great arrays within the Five Hells Wang Ding, called the "Mirage Qi Great Array," an illusion array used to conceal the form of the Wang Ding.

After all, Fang Yu and Long Xuan were currently cultivating within the Xuangui Pavilion of Wanguang Xiandao. Cultivating on someone else's territory — no one could guarantee there were no peeping talismans inside. But now, as long as this Mirage Qi Great Array was activated, even if someone wanted to spy, they could only spy on a mass of fog.

The Five Hells Wang Ding was a top-grade treasure, concentrating the lifelong efforts of the Five Hells Great Heavenly Demon Kings, painstakingly refined with heart and blood. Its functions were extremely numerous. Apart from the most powerful force array, it had many other functions, able to gather various effects into one body — a fine magic treasure for travel and for home.

For example, the Five Fire Divine Thunder Array could unleash countless divine thunderbolts to damage groups of enemies.

The Void Capture and Shift Array could activate the Five Hells Wang Ding to perform void teleportation — if you couldn't win, you could still escape.

The Mirage Qi Great Array, on the other hand, could prevent others from scouting and protect one's privacy.

There was also the most powerful Great Force Demon God Array. When activated, it could erupt with a terrifying force ten times one's own magic power. Most crucially, when one was within the magic treasure, one would not be threatened by others' magic power at all — this was the core array of this top-grade treasure.

It was precisely because of this Great Force Demon God Array that Fang Yu was able to slay three of the Heavenly Demon Kings, causing the other three Heavenly Demon Kings to despair and directly self-detonate.

Just after the Mirage Qi Great Array was activated, several Divine Transformation disciples arrived outside the pill room and placed some heaven-and-earth rare treasures outside the door.

"Senior brother, the items you asked us to prepare are ready. We hope senior brother will take them in soon. We will not disturb senior brother's cultivation."

Once their words fell, they respectfully departed from the place.
