Chapter 244

As the melody ended, the other disciples also regained their clarity, expressions of relief appearing on their faces.

"This music is surely only heard in the heavens; how often can one hear it in the mortal realm? Your zither playing, fellow Daoist, is truly peerless in this world—exceedingly marvelous."

Fang Yu nodded in praise.

"You flatter me. It is merely something played to cultivate the spirit and refine the character; it is nothing of note."

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei wore a smile. His gaze turned toward Fang Yu as he raised his wine cup and said, "In such a beautiful setting, we should toast to it."

Everyone raised their cups to drink, the scene one of harmony.

"On Zhuofeng, there is Senior Brother Fang Yu, who can make the grass and trees bow in worship. On Star Peak, we have Senior Brother Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei, who can make the hundred birds pause in their flight. These two senior brothers truly each possess their own extraordinary phenomena."

"These two peerless geniuses are evenly matched in this regard. I just wonder what realm the First Senior Brother of Zhuofeng has reached, and what techniques he practices. Can he truly contend with our Star Peak?"

"That, I do not know. That Senior Brother Fang Yu is rarely on Zhuofeng. No one knows where he came from or what techniques he practices. However, I suspect that no matter how powerful that Dao of Nature is, it should not compare to our Star Peak's heritage."

As a few young men and women whispered to one another, their gazes turned toward the main peak of Star Peak. Even in the daytime, starlight descended here, appearing incomparably mysterious.

And if one were to visit Star Peak at night, it would be even more unique within the entire Profound Heaven Sect, and perhaps even the entire Eastern Wilderness.

At that time, the starlight from the entire sky would descend, making Star Peak appear like a palace in the heavens.

Star Peak was founded on the cultivation of star power. Star power is vast and boundless; obtaining even a tiny bit is enough to make one invincible.

This was something Zhuofeng could not compare to.

"It is a pity that it seems the two senior brothers will not be crossing hands immediately. We cannot see who is truly a cut above."

The disciples on Star Peak cast their gazes from time to time toward Senior Brother Fang Yu, who was speaking with Senior Brother Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei not far away. A few young women were incomparably surprised to discover that in terms of appearance, the First Senior Brother of Zhuofeng, Fang Yu, seemed to actually surpass Senior Brother Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei.

The luster of his muscles, the sharp angles of his features—it was as if he were crafted by divine axes or sculpted by heaven and earth. It actually stirred in them a feeling of overwhelming beauty.

"How is this possible? Senior Brother Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei is the most elegant and ethereal man in our Profound Heaven Sect. How could he be inferior to Senior Brother Fang Yu?"

The women looked again and again, discovering that it was indeed so.

Senior Brother Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei possessed a beauty of elegance and grace, but Senior Brother Fang Yu possessed not only elegance and grace, but also the mystery of power. His body was like a product of heaven and earth's creation, perfect beyond imagination.

This was simply too incredible.

"I want to join Zhuofeng now."

One woman murmured.

As they carefully scrutinized Fang Yu, they discovered that Fang Yu's arms and face seemed even more refined than their own, and they could not help but be shocked once more.

How could a man be so refined and perfect that he surpassed them?

Naturally, they could not have guessed that Fang Yu practiced the Great Five Elements Art and had also consumed many heaven-grade elixirs, such as the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill, the Thunder Bone Relic Pill, the Nirvana Pill, the Five Clouds Ascension Pill, and the Dragon God Pill. His tempering of his physical body had reached an unfathomable level. In particular, the five-element power of the Great Five Elements Art and the thunder power of the Thunder Bone Relic had combined within Fang Yu's body, long since making every inch of his skin flawless and perfect, masculine to the extreme.

In fact, in the World of Immortals, let alone these heaven-grade elixirs, even human-grade high-quality or middle-quality elixirs, such as the Life-Extending Golden Pill or the Essence Pill, had beauty-enhancing benefits.

There are no ugly people among those who cultivate.

It is simply that their cultivation base is not yet strong enough.

Just as Fang Yu and Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei had been talking for a while, several figures flew over in a hurry, landed before Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei, and whispered a few words.

"Hm?"

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei seemed somewhat shocked.

But Fang Yu had intercepted the sound transmission between them.

The person who had arrived suddenly mentioned a few names: one was the princess of the demon race, Yan Yan Ruyu, and the other was the Eastern Wilderness's Divine Body, Ji Haoyue.

"Fellow Daoist Hua, I wonder if you could tell me what has happened."

Fang Yu's gaze was calm as he spoke.

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei exchanged a glance with the disciples beside him and nodded. "I have received news that the Eastern Wilderness Divine Body, Ji Haoyue, has come out of seclusion and is going to seek trouble with the Demon Emperor's descendant, Yan Yan Ruyu. As you have been traveling, you must have heard of this major event in the Eastern Wilderness."

The tomb of a generation's Demon Emperor had appeared, shocking countless living beings in the Eastern Wilderness. As time passed, even the holy lands and noble families of the Central Plains, Northern Plains, and Western Desert learned of it. One by one, great experts descended upon the Eastern Wilderness, only to encounter the killing intent of the Demon Emperor's hidden tomb. Even many of those great figures perished.

And now, there were still some great figures before the Demon Emperor's tomb, wanting to obtain the treasures within.

This place would likely continue to see bloodshed for a year or two before those great figures gave up.

"I heard that the Demon Emperor's descendant obtained the Emperor Weapon left behind by the Great Emperor. That is an unimaginable supreme treasure. Now it has actually been targeted by the Ji family. Could it be that the Ji family is about to obtain another Emperor Weapon?"

"Our Profound Heaven Sect is already a famous major sect in the Eastern Wilderness, but we lack the foundation of an Emperor Weapon. Do we have a chance?"

On Star Peak, the disciples discussed it one after another. They could not help but feel excited at the mention of an Emperor Weapon.

"You all should focus on your cultivation. That Yan Yan Ruyu is a princess of the demon race and holds an Emperor Weapon. Is that something you can covet? Why don't you calm your minds and cultivate your character?"

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei's gaze turned cold as he looked at the disciples around him.

The many disciples on Star Peak immediately regained their composure and replied in the affirmative.

"I have truly let Fellow Daoist Fang see a joke. It seems the disciples on my Star Peak still need to calm their minds."

Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei turned back and spoke apologetically to Fang Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Hua, your discipline of your junior brothers is excellent. It is truly a blessing for Star Peak and a blessing for the Profound Heaven Sect."

Fang Yu's gaze remained on Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Yunfei, a faint smile appearing on his face. He could see that this man seemed to have been moved, but obtaining the Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon from the hands of the Demon Emperor's descendant was certainly no easy task.

Ordinary people would truly die if they went.

The Ji family's Divine Body was very courageous.

Fang Yu stood up and left the place. At this point, no one wanted to continue drinking and making merry here, so they dispersed.

As soon as Fang Yu moved, he transformed into a streak of white light and flew out of the Profound Heaven Sect.

He was slightly interested in this matter.

Just as Fang Yu flew out at over a hundred times the speed of sound, in a desolate, hilly region in the west of the Wei Kingdom in the Eastern Wilderness, there were endless mountain ranges, but very little vegetation, mostly scorched earth.

Legend has it that a heaven-shaking battle took place here in the ancient times, and after the battle, this place became a barren land.

Great mountains towered into the clouds, but there was not a hint of green; they were bare and desolate.

Scattered rocks, scorched earth, and broken mountains all seemed to speak to the terror of that battle in years past.

And now, on each of the withered, silent mountains, experts stood. These were experts from the Desolate Ancient Ji family, sealing off all four directions.

Directly ahead, on a broken mountain, a man in purple robes stood with his sleeves fluttering. He was only about twenty years old, yet his eyes were as bright as stars. He stood with his hands behind his back, blocking the path alone.

"Why do you block our path?"

The speaker was a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was not human, but a cultivator of the demon race, who stepped forward to ask.

"My Divine Body has just been perfected, and I heard the demon princess is here, so I have come specifically to seek instruction."

This man in purple was noble beyond compare, yet he blended perfectly with the nature of heaven and earth. His expression was calm, and his words were soft.

"Our Highness is unwell and cannot fight. Please arrange a battle for another day."

The middle-aged woman transmitted her voice.

The man in purple spoke very softly, like a spring breeze, saying, "Since that is the case, I will not force it. Leave the Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon behind. After my Divine Body was perfected, there were few divine weapons in the world that caught my eye. The Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon is just right."

The beautiful middle-aged woman's expression did not change. "What are you talking about? We have no Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon."

Behind the man in purple appeared two handmaidens. They stood respectfully in the back, and one of them parted her red lips. "The Demon Emperor's tomb appeared, shaking the Eastern Wilderness. Many sentient weapons rushed out of the Yang tomb. The Dao Scripture did not appear, but the Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon was cleverly snatched by your Highness using a Treasure-Gathering Basin. Hand it over; this is not something you can possess."

"Hand over the Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon. This is your only path to survival, otherwise, you will not be able to escape today."

The other handmaiden also spoke.

"Why? My Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon, even if it falls into the hands of our Highness, is only right and proper. By what right does your Ji family demand it?"

The middle-aged woman's expression was very unfriendly.

Although the man in purple looked to be only about twenty years old, his measured manner showed his determination.

"The Demon Emperor's Emperor Weapon, I am determined to obtain."
