Chapter 320

After Fang Yu seized the Mad Demon Shortening Pill, Wan Luo lost all chance of turning the tide.

This Wan Luo, a 6th Stage of Divine Abilities and one of the Five True Disciples, was directly struck unconscious by Fang Yu's Great Cutting Technique—the outcome was settled.

"Wan Luo senior brother actually lost!"

"How could Wan Luo senior brother lose? He's a 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, a Golden Core ancient minor titan, and he cultivates the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability—why wasn't he Fang Yu's match?"

"What was that? The Mad Demon Shortening Pill? That's a secret killing technique of the Taiyi Sect—rumored to be forged from extraterrestrial destructive Xu Yuan Qi; a single drop can trigger a total surge of essence, qi, spirit, blood, and marrow, multiplying magic power tenfold! How could Wan Luo senior brother have such a killing technique and still not get to use it?"

"The Mad Demon Shortening Pill reduces lifespan by a hundred years per dose—how could he possibly have taken it? Wan Luo senior brother thought his 6th Stage of Divine Abilities and Pan Wu Great Strength's magic power suppression would be enough to crush Fang Yu without needing the pill—yet he was overturned, and now he's alive or dead, no one knows. He's suffered a massive loss!"

"What was that technique Fang Yu just used? Why did my Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi tremble uncontrollably the moment it appeared? I haven't felt this in many years!"

A True Disciple of the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm, wore an extremely solemn expression.

"I don't know, but I cultivate the Ten Thousand Waters Divine Scripture, and I felt the same—now it's clear Fang Yu senior brother has been concealing his true strength; he has many mysterious techniques. Wan Luo senior brother didn't lose unfairly!"

"What do we do now? Fang Yu senior brother has defeated Wan Luo senior brother and secured his reputation. Originally five True Disciples, now there's another—Fang Yu senior brother. Will he inherit Wan Luo's title? Will he be Southern Fang Yu?"

"That's unnecessary, but we must now offer our congratulations to Fang Yu senior brother. After this decisive victory, his authority is established—if we pledge loyalty now, we may receive his bestowed Five Elements rare treasures, and our cultivation base will surge forward, giving us hope to break through to higher realms. Otherwise, no matter how great your Divine Abilities, you still die after a few hundred years."

"Dying of old age on the cultivation path is terrifying. In the past, Yuhua Sect had some great Divine Ability disciples who reached the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, yet still aged to death over long centuries."

"Let's go pay homage to Fang Yu senior brother!"

Upon seeing Fang Yu's victory, several True Disciples quickly grasped the situation and immediately began offering their congratulations.

Fang Yu smiled and spoke: "Brothers, I do indeed possess some Five Elements rare treasures that can assist you. When the time comes, come to Yu Peak to find me. I must now return to seclusion—brothers, please excuse me."

As he spoke, Fang Yu reached out with a single hand and seized the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability inscribed on the Elder Tian Xing Palace plaque—immediately, a vast, boundless torrent of mental intent and cultivation principles surged toward him, filling heaven and earth.

But he wouldn't read it here—he stepped forward and flew straight back to his own Yu Peak.

"The sky of Yuhua Sect seems to have shifted slightly."

"It has indeed changed. Once there were five True Disciples; now one of them, Southern Wan Luo, has faded. Bei Yaoguang, West Jialan, and Dong Lingxiao are nearly equal in strength—meaning if Fang Yu takes one more step, he'll challenge Master Hua Tiandu's position."

"Master Hua Tiandu isn't easily overthrown, but from now on, Yuhua Sect will be anything but quiet."

The True Person of the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm, Xuantie, sighed repeatedly.

At this moment, Fang Yu had already returned to Yu Peak. Upon arriving, he examined the cultivation method of the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability—this supreme Divine Ability, even a Great Dao, was indeed as vast as an ocean; merely glancing at it, he saw over a thousand physical body cultivation techniques alone, and the jade scroll recorded countless secrets of the body's acupoints and their corresponding celestial star positions.

Even a tiny fragment of it was far stronger than the three physical body techniques taught to Yuhua Sect's outer disciples.

To compare the Songhe Wan Shou Fist to the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability would be an insult to the latter.

The Songhe Wan Shou Fist merely refines posture and intent, but the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability directly opens the body's myriad acupoints—it carries the flavor of a martial immortal from the Yangshen World.

Simply cultivating the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability in the Physical Body Secret Realm could grant one the strength of ninety-nine Mysterious Yellow Warhorses, and even surpass that limit.

If one truly cultivated the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability to reach the state of one acupoint opening, all hundred acupoints open, one could attain the strength of ten thousand horses even in the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Transformation Realm.

Terrifying. Truly terrifying.

Cultivating the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability directly raises the 10th Stage of Physical Body's limit from the strength of ninety-nine Mysterious Yellow Warhorses to the strength of ten thousand horses—what kind of concept is this?

Especially when the physical body's limit reaches the strength of ten thousand Mysterious Yellow Warhorses, breaking into the first stage of the Divine Ability Secret Realm allows magic power to surge directly to the strength of one hundred thousand Mysterious Yellow Warhorses.

Think of it: in this cultivation era, merely reaching the strength of three hundred Mysterious Yellow Warhorses upon entering the Divine Ability Secret Realm is considered a genius among geniuses. But tens of thousands of years ago, disciples of the Pan Wu Xianzun all entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm with the strength of one hundred thousand Mysterious Yellow Warhorses—they needed no magic treasures, and could simply kill other cultivators with bare hands.

The Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability breaks enemies through sheer force—invincible in all directions!

Aside from the acupoint cultivation methods, Fang Yu also discovered in the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability records of prayer techniques and worship rituals—using one's mental intent to sense hidden dimensions across the cosmos, drawing in Xu Yuan Qi to cleanse oneself and awaken latent potential.

There are many alternate dimensions in the cosmos, each containing various alternate Xu Yuan Qi. The greatest of these is of course the Immortal Realm, where Immortal Qi, even a single drop, grants boundless benefits to cultivators—but obtaining Immortal Qi is exceedingly difficult, requiring cultivation to the Longevity Secret Realm.

The Xu Yuan Qi of other alternate dimensions may be weaker than Immortal Qi, but it is far easier to obtain—simply through prayer, worship, and meditation, one can absorb vast quantities: Five Elements Xu Yuan Qi, Divine Decree Xu Yuan Qi, Grand Void Xu Yuan Qi, Pure Spirit Xu Yuan Qi, Moral Xu Yuan Qi, Mysterious Spirit Xu Yuan Qi, and more…

The human body is a mystery. How to cultivate to extend lifespan? In both secular and immortal realms, countless martial arts exist. Fang Yu knew many, but after seeing the various methods in the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability, he realized all other physical body techniques became meaningless before it.

Because the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability is among the top ten Great Primordial Techniques among the Three Thousand Great Daos—far stronger than any human martial art.

In the world Fang Yu has experienced, no physical body cultivation method surpasses the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability.

As Fang Yu continued reading further, he discovered the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability began to detail cultivation methods for the Divine Ability Secret Realm: how to circulate magic power, expand the mind, regulate magic power, strengthen one's connection with heaven, earth, and the myriad worlds, how to condense holy spirits, and more—vast beyond measure, opening an entirely new world to Fang Yu.

"So many cultivation methods."

Fang Yu saw recorded in the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability a method to expand the mind using the faith of countless mortals, creating an additional mind—also methods to use battlefield slaughter qi and the essence of violent life-and-death to stimulate a specific acupoint, storing it within, then releasing it instantly upon encountering an enemy.

Imagine: storing one hundred thousand battlefield slaughter essences within the body's one hundred twenty thousand acupoints, then releasing them all at once—even a Jin Dan cultivator would be instantly stunned into Bai Chi.

All these cultivation methods—unseen, unheard. Together, they formed this peerless, ancient Divine Ability, ranked among the top ten of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

"Second mind."

Fang Yu's gaze finally settled on the cultivation method recorded in the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability for opening a second mind.

Humans normally possess only one mind—the brain—but the Pan Wu Great Strength Divine Ability records a method to cultivate a second mind, transforming one mind into two.

This was indeed a wondrous concept, and an exceedingly bold one.

Know this: the human mind is the source of all Divine Abilities, the root of magic power. In many Daoist scriptures, the mind is called the "Sea of Consciousness" or "Purple Palace," and all Divine Abilities are stored within the brain.

The brain is extremely precious and extremely fragile. Any slight disorder of true qi or Daoist Gang Qi can cause catastrophic damage. All Divine Ability cultivators, when training the brain, must proceed step by step, with utmost caution.

The idea of carving out a "second mind" within the brain has been mentioned by many ancient sages, but it was nearly impossible to test—because failure meant death.

Of course, some demonic high cultivators attempted it, but most failed.

The Pan Wu Xianzun succeeded—and thus his disciples all possessed boundless magic power.

"To open a second mind, one must have sufficient sentient faith, or battlefield slaughter qi. Battlefield slaughter qi would require inciting war among mortals—that's a demonic act. As for sentient faith, Yuhua Sect should have it."

Fang Yu studied the method for opening the second mind—it required sentient faith.

For this, he planned to visit Elder Tian Xing and Elder Chuan Gong again. He had plenty of money now; with money, sentient faith could be bought.

Fang Yu knew well that such a Xiandaoda Sect as Yuhua Sect kept countless mortals deep within Yuhua Tiangong. These mortals needed do nothing—Yuhua Sect provided them ample food, and all they had to do was bow and worship, offering faith.

Faith is a valuable resource. Cultivators use it to refine magic treasures, imbuing them with sentience—adding sentient faith greatly enhances results. Thus, all Xiandao Sect Sects raise sentient beings to worship them.

This differs from some worlds where faith and sentient energy are feared—where people say incense smoke is poisonous and refuse to absorb faith. In the Life Great World, faith is a usable resource; even slaughter qi can be refined into Great Slaughter Runes, curses into Great Curse Arts, and all manner of foul, disgusting things into Ending Qi.

Nothing is unusable.

Just as Fang Yu was about to rise and head toward Yuhua Tiangong, a deep bell rang from within the heart of Yuhua Tiangong.
