Chapter 280

After Fang Yu refined this metal-element treasure, his mood was extremely pleasant. He stopped, briefly sensing his own state, and discovered that his strength had once again increased by the force of twenty thousand Xuanhuang warhorses.

Although a cultivator's increase in strength after stepping into the Divine Ability Secret Realm is indeed much faster than during the flesh-body period, with the aid of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the speed of cultivation is truly fast.

In just this short while, increasing by the force of twenty thousand Xuanhuang warhorses is truly an incomparably delightful matter.

And next, there were still four Five-Element treasures that needed Fang Yu to refine them one step at a time.

The Gui Water Silver Water Essence was also an extremely powerful water-element treasure, containing ten thousand types of water qi upon it. Each strand of water qi was extremely heavy, being the essence of a treasure that could only condense in the deep seas between heaven and earth, its rarity no less than that of the White Gold Star Stone.

However, the Grand Elder, the Supreme Elder, or other people of the Yuhua Sect, while traveling between heaven and earth, sometimes obtained such treasures that they themselves could no longer use, and so placed them into the Yuhua Sect's treasury. If someone within the sect made an enormous contribution, they could be bestowed as rewards for the sect's disciples to cultivate with.

Fang Yu had also obtained these treasures through exactly such a method. In any case, selling off those treasures arts from the Perfect World didn't pain him at all.

As time passed, Fang Yu continued to refine the water-element treasure. With a single motion of his palm, he directly drew all those strands of water qi in, condensed them into a great formation, and then let them settle between his two kidneys.

The kidneys belong to water.

After the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Great Formation condensed into shape, it fell into Fang Yu's kidneys, and immediately his kidneys received excellent protection. With a casual movement, his strength was inexhaustible.

Next came the Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign Dao, the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, and the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi.

As one treasure after another was refined by Fang Yu, his physical body suddenly underwent another metamorphosis. His entire body actually grew a bit taller, becoming a man of nine chi in height, with an extremely well-proportioned figure. His hair took on a pitch-black color, yet carried strands of platinum white. At a single glance, he was brimming with immortal air.

At this moment, he lightly circulated the Five Elements within his body, and his flesh and blood became increasingly dense and solid. From the unseen, a massive surge of essence qi poured down, causing some of the potential within his body to be released once again.

Fang Yu, feeling that state, continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

A month had already passed in the mountain, while only three days had passed outside.

After Fang Yu had cultivated in the Small Immortal Realm for a month, it was once again time for him to emerge from seclusion, while only three days had passed in the outside world.

The flow of time in the Small Immortal Realm differed from the outside world, which was an enormously good thing for Fang Yu.

"Fang Yu, your cultivation base should now be at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm, I suppose. I see your strength has risen once again — compared to before, it's grown far, far too much!"

The moment Fang Yu emerged from seclusion, he ran into Elder Chuan Gong. This elder's face bore a smile, and with a single glance at Fang Yu, he sensed that the strength within Fang Yu's body was extremely great.

"I must thank the Elder. This session of cultivation has indeed brought me a great improvement, and it is also time for me to go out into the world to temper myself."

Fang Yu said with a smile. He did not tell Elder Chuan Gong that in this session of cultivation, he had finally brought the Five Elements to the stage of minor accomplishment, which could also be considered cultivating to the minor accomplishment stage of the Heavenly Man Realm — still a hundred and eight thousand li away from the so-called peak of the Heavenly Man Realm.

Of course, even at the minor accomplishment of the Heavenly Man Realm, his current strength had already reached the force of nine hundred thousand Xuanhuang warhorses. As for those ordinary Heavenly Man Realm experts who, as a unit of measurement, only possessed the force of ten thousand Xuanhuang warhorses — he feared he really could swat them dead with a casual slap.

"Mm, not bad. It is indeed time to go out and temper yourself. Staying within the sect and following the routine all the time is not good either. Going out and obtaining some opportunities — that's what makes one improve faster."

Elder Chuan Gong nodded, seemingly somewhat looking forward to what Fang Yu might bring back the next time he returned.

"In that case, this disciple takes his leave."

After paying his respects to Elder Chuan Gong, Fang Yu returned to his own Feather Peak.

When he flew up to his own Feather Peak, his gaze swept toward a spot not far away, and he saw flat ground rise into a tall mountain there — another True Transmission Peak had been added.

Fang Han's peak had also been built.

"Mm, the Yuhua Sect's construction speed is still very reliable. I cultivated for a month this time, and in the outside world it was only three days, yet Fang Han's peak has already been built."

Fang Yu, seeing this scene, revealed a smile on his face.

But at this moment, a voice transmitted from Fang Han's True Transmission Peak.

"Senior Brother Yu, you've returned from cultivation. I humbly request Senior Brother to grace us with your presence."
