Chapter 294

However, Fang Yu's avatar did not hesitate and raised the bid again, directly to two hundred million.

Once this price of two hundred million was called out, everyone else immediately lost their fire; no one dared to bid further. However, many people turned their spiritual sense toward the VIP room where Fang Yu's avatar was located.

That avatar let out two cold snorts and directly unleashed two Great Daos.

One was the Great Cutting Technique, and the other was the Great Devouring Technique.

"Abominable!"

"Damn it!"

"He is finished, he is finished! He actually dared to extinguish my spirit! No one in heaven or on earth can save him!"

"Hmm? This seems to be the supreme divine ability of my Heavenly Demon clan, the Great Cutting Technique. How does he know it?"

In various VIP rooms, waves of killing intent erupted in an instant.

"Very good, very good indeed."

Fang Yu felt those killing intents and found it quite interesting.

Places like auctions are always prone to conflict. For instance, just now, someone wanted to spy on Fang Yu's avatar, but ended up having their spiritual sense extinguished by it. Immediately, someone clamored, saying that Fang Yu was finished and that no one in heaven or on earth could save him.

However, even if one wanted to engage in a magical battle, it was not allowed within the city; one had to wait until Fang Yu's avatar left the city.

Fang Yu pondered over these many killing intents, a smile appearing on his face. He decided that his avatar would head to the Profound Jade Tower, while his main body would go to the territory of the Star Sect.

"Big Brother Fang Yu, our Star Sect also has properties here. We can go there to rest; no one will disturb us."

Xingyun Xingyun Baobao flew ahead first. Fang Yu and Fang Han followed behind. Before long, they saw a towering high tower. Crystals were embedded on all four sides, forming an array, with starlight flickering within.

Fang Yu could naturally feel the incredibly vast star power pouring down from the sky and entering this tower; it was truly formidable.

Xingyun Xingyun Baobao shook the "Sun and Moon Five-Star Bracelet," and they immediately shuttled inside, landing in a grand hall at the top of the tower, which was peaceful and serene.

Endless star power filled the space, making it very suitable for cultivation. Fang Yu had a feeling that cultivating here would greatly enhance his star-based divine abilities and supreme divine abilities, with excellent results.

"This is the Hao Star Tower. We have built many of them within the Great Profound Empire, but every year we have to pay taxes to the Great Profound Empire's imperial family in the form of elixirs, and the Great Profound Empire also has to pay contributions to the Taiyi Sect."

Xingyun Xingyun Baobao spoke up.

Although he was young, he was not stupid, especially as the son of the Star Sect Master; he was very clear about this layer of relationships.

"That makes sense. Otherwise, the Taiyi Sect wouldn't allow you to build such things in the Great Profound Empire."

Fang Yu nodded.

The Taiyi Sect was truly shrewd. After occupying the vast market of the Great Profound Empire, their development was far better than other immortal sects. In particular, they could collect taxes and mint Nascent Soul Pills, which other sects could not compare to.

"By the way, Big Brother Fang Han, this time when I went out to travel, my father also instructed me to do one thing: to withdraw three hundred million in elixirs and bring them back to the sect's elixir room for storage. He said that there have been changes in the world recently, and the disciples in the sect must intensify their cultivation. Big Brother, since you can refine Nascent Soul Pills, could you let me exchange three hundred million White Yang Pills for three million Nascent Soul Pills? If I can bring three million Nascent Soul Pills back, my father and the elders will definitely look at me with admiration."

Xingyun Xingyun Baobao rubbed his head with his chubby hands and then pouted. "There are several powerful senior brothers in the sect now who are eyeing the position of Sect Master. Although I am not interested in the position of Sect Master, I don't like these senior brothers."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Yu and Fang Han looked over, both having the same thought.

"Since Brother Yu and I are here, we naturally won't let you return empty-handed. However, for three million Nascent Soul Pills, I need time. Brother Yu here also has two million Nascent Soul Pills. How about this: wait for me for a few days, and both Brother Yu and you, Xingyun Baobao, will each get three million Nascent Soul Pills."

Fang Han thought for a moment.

He could currently refine thirty thousand Nascent Soul Pills a day. Xingyun Xingyun Baobao's three million Nascent Soul Pills could basically be refined in one hundred days. As for Brother Yu's two million Nascent Soul Pills, he decided to be generous and give him three million as well.

Building a good relationship with Brother Yu would never be a loss for him.

"Then I thank you, Junior Brother Fang Han."

Fang Yu nodded upon hearing that Fang Han would give him three million Nascent Soul Pills, and then looked at Xingyun Xingyun Baobao. "Xingyun Xingyun Baobao, since you want to compete for the position of Sect Master, with our help, the position of Star Sect Master will surely be yours."

Fang Yu naturally knew about the succession of the Sect Master position.

Although Xingyun Xingyun Baobao's father is the Star Master and the current Sect Master of the Star Sect, the position of future Sect Master does not necessarily have to fall to Xingyun Xingyun Baobao.

Take the Feathering Sect as an example: if the Sect Master Feng Feng Feng Feng Feng Baiyu had a son, after the Sect Master abdicated, the one who became the Sect Master could be Fang Yu himself, or it could be Hua Middle Middle Middle Middle Tiandu; it would not necessarily be Feng Feng Feng Feng Feng Baiyu's son.

The rules of immortal sects dictated that the position of Sect Master was chosen from among the true disciples, not from among the elders. For example, if the current Sect Master abdicated, the Heavenly Punishment Elder could not become the next Sect Master.

As for the son of the Sect Master, unless his cultivation ranked first among all the true disciples, he could not become a candidate for the next Sect Master.

Otherwise, once the current Sect Master abdicated and became a Supreme Elder, the former Sect Master's son would become the son of a Supreme Elder. The status would still sound very noble, but he would lose many privileges.

After all, a sect had many Supreme Elders, and many sons of Supreme Elders.

If Xingyun Xingyun Baobao could exchange three hundred million in elixirs for three million Nascent Soul Pills this time, many elders would admire him upon his return, laying a solid foundation for him to become Sect Master in the future.

In a word, three hundred million White Yang Pills were theoretically equal to three million Nascent Soul Pills, but it didn't mean that just because you had three hundred million White Yang Pills, you could actually exchange them for three million Nascent Soul Pills.

Both Fang Yu and Fang Han were very clear about this point.

If Xingyun Xingyun Baobao could become the Sect Master of the Star Sect, it would not be a bad thing.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they all began to cultivate in the territory of the Star Sect.

Fang Han had obtained the supreme-grade treasure, the Great Brahma Bright Boat, and gave it directly to Yan, the artifact spirit of the Yellow Springs Map.

Yan was absorbing the pure yang energy from this pure yang supreme-grade treasure with great joy. His former cultivation was equivalent to a cultivator at the second level of Longevity, the Undying Body, but he had encountered a tribulation and had his realm knocked down. However, as long as he had pure yang energy, he could restore his strength.

And once his strength was restored, he would be able to unleash the various wonderful uses of the Yellow Springs Map.

In its prime, the Yellow Springs Map was a supreme-grade Dao artifact with infinite power. Back then, the Yellow Springs Great Emperor had obtained the orthodoxy of the ancient Earth Emperor and refined the Yellow Springs Map for the purpose of finding the Earth Emperor Book left behind by the Earth Emperor. Combining the two would allow it to transform into an immortal artifact, which showed the extraordinary nature of the Yellow Springs Map.

Now that Yan had absorbed countless amounts of pure yang energy at once, his body began to swell like an inflated balloon, as if it were about to burst at any moment.

But he did not burst.

Because just as he seemed about to burst, his two claws intertwined and formed a very complex hand seal. This series of hand seals contained the supreme Dao principles of heaven and earth; it was unknown what kind of divine ability of the demonic path it was.

Amidst the changing hand seals, strands of the most profound syllables, seemingly from the depths of heaven and earth, resounded. Many beautiful musical notes danced around Yan, forming one grand array after another.

Once these arrays were formed, Yan's power increased continuously, and the majestic pure yang energy on the Great Brahma Bright Boat flowed away even more violently, being absorbed into Yan's body.

In the end, Yan's body became vivid, and countless beads of sweat, or perhaps blood, emerged on those scales that looked like brass.

Clearly, he had gained huge benefits, reaching a new level from his previous weakness.

And it could be expected that the power of the Yellow Springs Map would also be greatly enhanced.

After Fang Yu's spiritual sense noticed this, he could see nothing more. Of course, he was no longer paying attention to Yan and Fang Han's cultivation, because in front of him was the World Tree.

Although this World Tree belonged to Fang Han, he still borrowed it to temper his mental will.

Using the World Tree to perceive the Immortal World and temper one's mental will was an incredibly dangerous thing, but it had to be said that it was indeed very effective.

In the heavens, this was the only place where one could temper their mental will in such a way.

Even in the Shrouding the Heavens world, Fang Yu's life-and-death battle with Ancient Ancient Ancient Ancient Jiang Shenwang to temper his will seemed inferior to extending his spiritual sense along the roots of the World Tree into the endless space-time, perceiving the mysterious Immortal World amidst the endless space-time storms.

This was a great terror.

Of course, the effect was also very good.

Originally, Fang Yu had cultivated a life-bound talisman formed by ninety-nine divine abilities, and it was very difficult to break through to the Golden Core realm. However, in the process of constantly tempering his mental will, his mastery of magic power, his understanding of the life-bound talisman, and the improvement of his own will had all reached a new level.

If it could be said that Fang Yu had only initially stepped into the sixth level of supernatural powers, the Unity Realm, then after experiencing these days of tempering, he had already reached the late stage of the Unity Realm.

This progress in cultivation was simply unprecedented, with no one before him.

For an ordinary cultivator, wanting to cultivate from the sixth level of supernatural powers to the Golden Core realm, how could it be achieved without two or three hundred years of tempering?

Cultivating supernatural powers was like climbing a mountain; each level was a new heaven. The higher one went, the more difficult it became. Being able to cultivate one level in a few hundred years was already very high; breaking through several levels in a year was simply too difficult.

Just as the few were working hard on their cultivation, suddenly, Yan's voice came from the Yellow Springs Map. This voice carried a bit of arrogance and a bit of disdain for the world, as if a master who had lost his martial arts had regained his skills.

After Fang Yu woke up from his cultivation, he saw a portal rising in the void.

What kind of portal was this?

Inside this portal, there was nothing but boundless demonic energy, a demonic intent so vast it was immeasurable, as if it wanted to devour the human world and turn heaven and earth into a world of demons.

"Hahahaha, my power has accumulated enough, I have finally opened the Gate of Abi!"

Yan laughed wildly in the void.

"The Gate of Abi."

Fang Yu's gaze looked at the gate behind Yan. It seemed like an array yet not an array, a divine ability yet not a divine ability, a magic treasure yet not a magic treasure; it seemed like a primordial beast that had existed since the ancient era.

That portal, the Gate of Abi, seemed capable of devouring everything that did not respect the heavenly might. Strands of destructive power were transmitted from within, and even if one's thoughts touched it, one could feel boundless pain.

Abi was originally a term from the demonic path, referring to pain without interruption. Once one entered Abi, one would have to endure eternal pain.

This Gate of Abi was clearly refined by the Yellow Springs Great Emperor. One could imagine what this demonic emperor had done back then to collect so many painful thoughts; at the very least, he had slaughtered countless living beings and collected their painful thoughts.

This was indeed not something of the righteous path.

Fang Yu looked at the Gate of Abi, pondering whether he could destroy this gate with his own cultivation, and immediately he knew that with his divine abilities, he could destroy it with just one spear.

Currently, Yan's strength still could not do anything to him.

However, there would not be a real conflict just yet. After Yan opened the Gate of Abi, it did deter the artifact spirit of the low-grade Dao artifact, the Demonic Blade Blood Firmament, which Fang Han had once refined.

Things like artifact spirits possessed their own intelligence and various human emotions. Clearly, as an old-school demonic Dao artifact spirit, Yan had been looked down upon by the young artifact spirit because he had lost his power. Now that his power was restored, he immediately wanted to get back at him.

Fang Han naturally would not allow this.

Don't forget that they had offended the Ghost Emperor at the auction and had to keep enough strength to deal with this old guy.
