Chapter 204: The Supreme Patriarch of Yuhua Sect, Feng Baiyu!

"Fang Qingwei still can't get along with Fang Han."

On Fei Peak, Fang Yu sensed Fang Qingwei and Yuan Jiankong departing, and shook his head.

This second daughter of the Fang family could have had a splendid future—after all, as long as she didn't court death, with Fang Qingxue's connections, she could still rise to an extremely formidable realm in the years to come.

But this woman looked down on Fang Han, who was born a servant, and resented him even more now that his status had changed.

In her eyes, a servant was a servant, a master was a master; even if a servant entered Yuhua Sect, he was not allowed to rise above his master and act recklessly—now she was actively targeting Fang Han.

This was clearly foolish.

"Yuan Jiankong, Fang Qingwei, Wan Luo. This foolish second daughter is tying herself to Wan Luo's line."

Fang Yu heard Fang Qingwei's words and knew that, now that he had grown close to Jialan—one of Yuhua Sect's Five True Disciples—Fang Qingwei was seeking to align herself with another of the Five True Disciples.

One of the Five True Disciples: Nan Wan Luo.

Fang Qingwei clearly had her own agenda: she wanted Wan Luo, a Jin Dan expert, to take notice of her, bestow gifts upon her, and grant her advantages to break through into the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Fang Yu offered no opinion on such matters; he merely watched as Fang Qingwei and Ye Nantian headed toward one of the True Disciple Peaks.

That True Disciple Peak was called Wan Luo Peak.

"Forget them—I must pay a visit to Yuhua Tiangong."

Fang Yu retracted his spiritual sense and shot upward, heading deep into Yuhua Tiangong.

His journey had not only granted him the legacy of Dongxuan Daoist, but more importantly, he had encountered four Divine Beings.

The news of the Divine Beings' return was of great importance to Yuhua Sect; if Yuhua Sect learned of it before other Men Sects, it could prepare in advance for the Divine Being calamity and gain the upper hand in the coming great disaster.

But if Yuhua Sect remained unaware, one step behind would mean falling further behind—and if Divine Beings invaded before they were ready, Yuhua Sect might face annihilation.

So the first thing Fang Yu did upon returning to Yuhua Sect was to seek out Elder Tian Xing.

"Hmm? Fang Yu, your cultivation base has reached the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm? I recall you only just broke into the Divine Ability Secret Realm not long ago—excellent, very excellent."

Elder Tian Xing, who appeared as a boy, was in Elder Tian Xing Palace when he heard a True Disciple wished to see him, so he received Fang Yu.

He had been lounging lazily, but when his gaze swept over Fang Yu, his face instantly showed surprise.

Fang Yu, a Fang family scion and kinsman of Fang Qingxue, had only recently entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm—and now he had already reached the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm!

Moreover, this disciple's magic power seemed exceptionally profound, far exceeding that of ordinary Yin-Yang Realm cultivators by many times.

He was truly a genius.

How had he achieved this?

Instantly, Elder Tian Xing's expression turned curious.

"Technically, I shouldn't be curious about your gains—after all, disciples having extraordinary encounters is normal, and we Elders don't investigate—but your cultivation speed is astonishing, far surpassing most True Disciples."

Elder Tian Xing scrutinized Fang Yu from head to toe, repeatedly murmuring "good."

"Respected Elder Tian Xing, during my recent journey beyond the seas, I gained many extraordinary encounters. I met Jueming Island Master, ranked thirty-eighth among the Forty Bandits, slew him, and obtained the Five Prison King Cauldron. Later, I ventured deep into the Gui Xu region, the Blood and Mud Quagmire, and slew several Heavenly Demon Kings, reaching the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm."

Fang Yu recounted his journey, mentioning the Five Prison King Cauldron and the Heavenly Demon Kings, but omitted the Fire Domain of the Shrouding Heaven Realm and the Dongxuan Mansion.

"Hmm? The Five Prison King Cauldron? That's a Top-Grade artifact—crafted over many years by a Heavenly Demon King named Wu Yu Da Tian Wang—and you obtained it? Excellent, very excellent. I never expected such an encounter."

Upon hearing Fang Yu had acquired the Five Prison King Cauldron, Elder Tian Xing's face immediately lit up with appreciation.

Clearly, he knew the artifact's rank and understood how immensely valuable a Top-Grade item could be to a disciple.

He did not demand Fang Yu surrender it because it was forged by a Great Heavenly Demon King; instead, he showed appreciation and nodded repeatedly.

"Good, Fang Yu, your journey has greatly enhanced Yuhua Sect's prestige. But Heavenly Demon Kings are not easy to kill—when they unleash the Heavenly Demon Body Dissolution Art, you must be cautious. Of course, with the Five Prison King Cauldron, you need not worry too much."

Elder Tian Xing's face bore an approving expression as he spoke.

"Indeed."

Fang Yu nodded. "But I have come now with another matter to report—one of critical importance, one that concerns the very survival of Yuhua Sect."

"Oh? What matter could concern the survival of Yuhua Sect?"

Elder Tian Xing's face showed disbelief, yet he knew this disciple would not make such claims lightly—there was no benefit in doing so.

"Speak, Fang Yu. The heavenly patterns here are veiled by me—no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."

Suddenly, Elder Tian Xing's body emitted boundless mysterious energy, sealing the entire space.

"Elder, during my journey, I encountered a race called the Divine Beings—each one vastly surpasses human cultivators of the same level."

As he spoke, Fang Yu pulled forth one of the Divine Beings.

"What? Divine Beings? They've reappeared? How many years has it been?"

Elder Tian Xing's face instantly changed, his expression turning solemn. He reached out, seized the Divine Being, and his demeanor grew urgent.

"Divine Beings have reappeared? This is a calamity—a great calamity! We must inform the Zhang Sect immediately. Fang Yu, come with me."

This ancient titan, who had always been aloof and indifferent, now felt solemnness at the return of the Divine Beings.

He reached out, seized Fang Yu, and headed deep into Yuhua Tiangong.

Everywhere, the air pulsed with celestial energy; each breath was filled with torrents of Nine Yang Qi.

"Tian Xing, what has happened?"

A tear opened in the void, and a boy-like figure stepped out.
