Chapter 278

Even Elder Tian Xing was somewhat curious.

As for Fang Han beside him, he listened to his Senior Brother Yu speak.

"So Senior Brother Yu has also had many fortuitous encounters; no wonder he cultivates so quickly. I had thought the greatest fortuitous encounter was mine, but now it seems a single damaged supreme-grade Dao weapon didn't catch Senior Brother Yu's eye — he must have even better treasures on him."

A sudden enlightenment rose in Fang Han's heart.

Originally, having obtained the damaged supreme-grade Dao weapon that was the Huang Quan Diagram, he had dared not reveal it in the slightest. But now he discovered that Senior Brother Fang Yu also seemed to have had many fortuitous encounters, cultivating extremely rapidly, and in the short span of time had already cultivated to the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm.

Being able to reach the Heavenly Man Realm in less than a year — Fang Han also knew what this signified, after all Yan had told him some common knowledge about cultivation.

This was something only a person with great fortune could achieve.

"Elders, this time I obtained twenty-three ultimate arts comparable to great divine abilities."

Just as everyone's attention was on Fang Yu, Fang Yu waved his hand, and one jade slip after another appeared in the void. These jade slips recorded the various treasure arts obtained from the Perfect World, among which the treasure arts recorded in the Mountain Treasure were the most numerous, followed by those of the ancient remnant species Qiongqi, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, and the three birds.

Among those three birds, Ziyun had undergone a blood regression; the treasure art it inherited could be called a great divine ability. As for the inheritances of the other two birds, they could barely be considered a divine ability — quite ordinary.

"Twenty-three great divine abilities — the True Art of the Luan Bird, the Thirteen Strikes of Sky-Swallowing, the Art of the Ancient Qiongqi, the Five Transformations of the Moon Eagle?"

Both Elder Chuan Gong and Elder Tian Xing directed their divine sense toward the twenty-three treasure art inheritances before them, carefully examining them. Surprise immediately showed on their faces, and then they laughed, very pleased.

"Not bad, not bad. The divine abilities you, Fang Yu, have contributed can indeed be called great divine abilities. Especially look at this Thirteen Strikes of Sky-Swallowing — it actually bears some resemblance to the legendary Three Thousand Great Dao's Great Devouring Art. Of course, it's only somewhat similar, but it still offers us some inspiration!"

"Very good, very good. And this Art of the Ancient Qiongqi seems to contain part of the inheritance of the ancient fierce beast Qiongqi. Although incomplete, it can still greatly inspire the disciples of the sect."

Elder Chuan Gong also nodded, a look of great approval on his face. He carefully savored it, nodding repeatedly. "However, the predecessor from whom you inherited this was probably not a human. Most of these twenty-three arts come from various fierce beasts — a peculiar matter indeed."

"That is true. Nowadays we revere the Human Dao, yet you, Fang Yu, were still able to obtain the inheritance of the Beast Dao — that is indeed a kind of fortune. Of course, this isn't to say it's bad; isn't the Great Heavenly Lion Art of the Taiyi Sect the same? For your contribution of these twenty-three great divine abilities, we must bestow a reward."

Elder Tian Xing's words settled the matter.

"Originally, contributing one great divine ability would earn you the reward of a treasure. This time you have contributed twenty-three great divine abilities, so you may receive twenty-three treasures. However, you have broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, and according to the sect's rules, you may also make one request. Here — first tell us what you want, and we will do our best to fulfill it."

Elder Chuan Gong followed right after Elder Tian Xing's words.

"Reporting to the Elders, having just broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm, what I currently need most are various Five Element rare treasures. So those treasure weapons are not necessary — if I could obtain some Five Element rare treasures, that would be best."

Fang Yu spoke.

"That's not a problem. Our Yuhua Sect is a great enterprise with a large foundation; collecting some Five Element rare treasures to bestow upon disciples with great contributions is still not an issue."

Elder Tian Xing and Elder Chuan Gong exchanged a glance, looking as though they had long anticipated this. Elder Chuan Gong reached out and grabbed, pulling five treasures from a patch of void.

The first treasure was a stone emanating an incomparably dense Geng Metal aura; its radiance was dazzling — even a single wisp of aura it casually emitted seemed capable of blinding one's eyes.

The second treasure was a water essence emanating a dense Gui Water aura; the third treasure was a clump of earth emanating a dense Earth Qi. The aura of that pre-Heaven Earth transmitted outward, giving even Fang Yu's Huang Di Earth Sovereign Dao a stirring sensation.

As for the fourth treasure, it was a piece of wood containing a powerful Jia-Yi Wood aura; the fifth treasure was also a stone, but this stone contained the aura of fire essence.

"White Gold Star Stone, Gui Water Silver Water Essence, Nine Heavens Breathing Earth, Jia-Yi Mysterious Divine Wood, Bing Fire Star Radiance Stone — how are these five Five Element rare treasures? If placed at an outside auction, they wouldn't be so easy to bid for. These five Five Element rare treasures are hereby bestowed upon you, Fang Yu. They should be enough for you to complete your Five Elements. When the time comes, take advantage of your youth to cultivate a few more divine abilities — when you step into the 6th Stage of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, the Return to Oneness Realm, you will be even more powerful."

Elder Chuan Gong said.

"Indeed. You, Fang Yu, have rendered great merit this time, and our Yuhua Sect must naturally bestow rewards. For an outstanding genius like you, we must also cultivate you well. We hope you can make even greater contributions to the sect in the future."

Elder Tian Xing also spoke. "By rights, with these five Five Element rare treasures, they are enough to save you a hundred years of bitter effort and complete your Five Elements, after which you may cultivate other divine abilities."

"Thank you, Elders!"

Seeing this, Fang Yu voiced his thanks.

The Bing Fire Star Radiance Stone was passable, but the other four were indeed excellent — especially his Huang Di Earth Sovereign Dao, which he hadn't even begun to enter the door. With this Nine Heavens Breathing Earth, he could cultivate the Huang Di Earth Sovereign Dao to an entry-level stage.

This reward could be called extremely bountiful; for Fang Yu, it was even better than obtaining twenty-odd treasure weapons.

"Having cultivated to the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm, I can permit you to once again go to the Small Immortal Realm to cultivate. There, time is accelerated, and you can complete your Five Elements even more quickly."

Elder Tian Xing pondered briefly, then spoke again.

"Thank you, Elder."

Hearing such words, Fang Yu expressed his thanks once more.

"You are called Fang Han, a child of the Fang family? You too must learn more from your Senior Brother Fang Yu!"

Elder Chuan Gong's gaze turned toward Fang Han at the side, and he said with feeling.

"Mm, I will!"
