Chapter 2: I Possess a Ten Thousand Realms King's Picture

After Giant Spirit Hand Fang Tong told many stories and roused the desire to cultivate in all the Fang family juniors, he performed a set of Pine Crane Longevity Fist right there in the Myriad Manifestations Garden.

The Pine Crane Longevity Fist, an outer-disciple body-tempering technique from the Yuhuaxian Sect—one of the ten sects of the Immortal Dao in the Xuanhuang Great World—was already considered an upper-tier body-tempering technique within the Dali Dynasty.

Every move carried an incomparably subtle artistic conception and flavor; legend had it that an immortal of the Yuhuaxian Sect had created this outer-disciple body-tempering ultimate art based on the Dao resonance of the immortal cranes atop the Yuhua Immortal Mountain.

"This move is called Crane Dances Across the Vast Sky."

As Giant Spirit Hand Fang Tong moved, the two great muscles on his back suddenly braced, and his whole body spread like a crane unfurling its wings; his entire frame grew light and airy, and with a single shift of his body he was already several zhang away.

"Crane Talon Sand-Print."

The instant Fang Tong arrived a few zhang away, his five fingers spread wide, and like an eagle seizing a rabbit, he clawed at a tree trunk beside him in a single grab.

Ssshk—

The bark of that tree was stripped clean off by Fang Tong in an instant.

At this sight, Fang Yu's expression stirred.

If it had been a person instead, that single grab would have torn off a great deal of that person's flesh; if this move had caught someone on the head, that person would have died on the spot.

"This move is called Pine Crane Extends the Years."

Giant Spirit Hand Fang Tong moved again, and surging qi flooded his whole body; even from a great distance, Fang Yu could feel the terrifying power of the eruption.

"The immortal cranes of the Yuhuaxian Sect must be very strong."

Watching move after move and form after form, Fang Yu sensed the might of the Yuhuaxian Sect's immortal cranes.

Now, with many Fang family juniors around him all cultivating hard, he too put on a passable imitation.

The realm of this body of his was the 3rd Stage of the Physical Body Secret Realm, Move Technique Realm—among the Fang family juniors, neither weak nor particularly strong.

Most Fang family juniors were only at the 3rd Stage of Physical Body; those who could cultivate to the 4th Stage of the Physical Body Secret Realm were few, and as for those who cultivated to the 5th Stage of Physical Body, the Divine Power Realm, and possessed the strength of a Xuanhuang Fierce Steed—those were even fewer.

In fact, for a great clan like the Fang family, if any junior could cultivate to the Divine Power Realm, it was a great occasion of celebration for the Fang family; such a junior could enter the Dali Dynasty and become a commander of a region, and afterward receive some resources from the Dali Dynasty, possibly breaking through to a higher realm, and at that point could be ennobled as a marquis or appointed as a general.

"The Yuhuaxian Sect, the Fang family—I see we really are in the Yongsheng Great World, but how exactly did I come to this great world? I was able to enter through that terrifying supreme treasure, the Yongshengzhi Sect—surely I must have some golden finger?"

As Fang Yu executed move after move and form after form, sensing his own state, he suddenly discovered that deep within his mind there seemed to be a picture.

There really was a picture.

On that picture there were many, many things; he could not see them very clearly, but if he strained his mind to look carefully, he could faintly make out three great characters: "Shrouding Heaven Realm."

"Shrouding Heaven Realm—my picture is called the Ten Thousand Realms King's Picture, and it can travel through the Boundless World? And right now, the Shrouding Heaven Realm can be opened."

Fang Yu felt an inscrutable thought transmitted to him, allowing him to understand what had happened.

It turned out that the treasure in his mind was called the Ten Thousand Realms King's Picture; this time it had brought him across to the Yongsheng Great World, and now the picture displayed a world that could be traversed.
