Chapter 362

Extremely happy.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately split the 1,300,000 Nascent Soul Pills evenly, each receiving 650,000.

Afterwards, their gazes turned to the remaining nine gourds.

Within these nine gourds, they sensed an incomparably dense fragrance of elixir, a scent on par with a Nirvana Pill.

A Greater Severing Art swept past, breaking the prohibitions within the gourds, and the elixirs inside were immediately revealed.

It was a five-colored elixir, shrouded in layers of hazy light, as if liquid were flowing within. The vast Xu Yuan Qi contained in the elixir was in no way inferior to the Nirvana Pill or the Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill that Fang Yu had taken before—in fact, it seemed faintly to surpass them.

"It appears to be a Heaven-Grade Supreme Elixir, the Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pill. Its efficacy is even above our Yuhua Sect's Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill. It too is a Heaven-Grade Supreme Elixir—one dose can extend life by eight hundred years and grant boundless magic power."

Fang Qingxue, after all, was widely experienced, and recognized the elixir at once.

The Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pill bears the character "immortal"—one glimpse reveals its marvels. Compared with the Yuhua Sect's Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill, which extends life by six hundred years, it grants an additional two hundred years of lifespan.

As Fang Qingxue's gaze shifted, her magic power drew the five-colored, cloud-wreathed elixir straight into her hand. She examined it closely, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Yu-di, with this Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pill, I can extend my life by another eight hundred years, cultivate a few more great divine abilities, and then step into the Golden Core Realm."

Fang Qingxue's expression was somewhat peculiar, because right now she was at the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm, yet had only a few years of lifespan left. She did not dare to cultivate in the Small Immortal Realm any longer, because the flow of time there was too fast—one careless acceleration of time, and she might simply die of old age.

But now, with this Heaven-Grade elixir in hand, Fang Qingxue could extend her life by eight hundred years after taking it, and once again "hack" the system—using the Small Fate Art with paid resources to cultivate several divine abilities, then break through to the Golden Core Realm. At that point, her Jin Dan would be incomparably formidable.

"Indeed a fine treasure. Shall we cultivate here?"

With a great sweep of his hand, Fang Yu grabbed the remaining four Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pills, leaving four more Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pills in their original spot.

These belonged to Fang Qingxue.

Fang Qingxue nodded, immediately collected the remaining four Five Clouds Ascending Immortal Pills, then sat cross-legged and swallowed this Heaven-Grade elixir.

At once, five-colored cloud Qi filled her body everywhere, transforming into incomparably abundant power that nourished her flesh and her sea of consciousness. Fang Yu could feel Fang Qingxue's strength rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Especially after this elixir was completely refined by Fang Qingxue, a strange aura flowed out from within her body. As this strange aura filled the void, her lifespan seemed to ignite, and some terrifying Xu Yuan Qi came streaming in from the endless void.

It was the terrifying power of Wind Calamity.

All manner of fierce winds.

Originally, these fierce winds should have been high above the Xuanhuang Great World. Such terrifying winds could shred the physical bodies of Divine Ability Secret Realm cultivators, and even Longevity Secret Realm cultivators had to be extremely careful. But now, with Fang Qingxue igniting her lifespan all at once, these fierce winds, these black winds, came directly here, and were refined by her into a great formation that condensed within her body.

The supreme divine ability of the Yitaiyi Sect, Black Sun Wind Calamity, was now that Fang Qingxue had lifespan again—directly maxed out through life-burning cultivation!

At this moment, Fang Qingxue's body also carried the aura of a tribulation. This woman now commanded not only thunder and lightning, but also the Black Sun Wind Calamity—the wind tribulation of a cultivator's Wind and Fire Great Tribulation.

Wind and thunder converged together, and Fang Qingxue's aura became incomparably sharp, as if a heavenly god had descended to the mortal world.

Apart from wind and thunder, terrifying Xu Yuan Qi welled up around Fang Qingxue once more—it was fire.

Not ordinary fire, but a karmic fire, a tribulation fire.

This kind of fire blazes in a strange place, a place of destruction. Even true disciples of the Yitaiyi Sect, Golden Core experts, who wished to gather it had to be extremely careful, because in that place of destruction, disaster Qi filled everything, endless terror lurked everywhere—one careless mistake and one would perish within.

Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands, even millions, of Yitaiyi Sect disciples, very few could gather this disaster tribulation fire and successfully cultivate the supreme divine ability, Great Sun Fire Calamity.

A divine ability is not the sort of thing that can be cultivated to success merely by obtaining a manual and having the materials.

If it were that easy to cultivate successfully, wouldn't every disciple of the Yitaiyi Sect know the Black Sun Wind Calamity, the Great Sun Fire Calamity, and the Doomsday Heaven Calamity?

The Yitaiyi Sect's supreme divine abilities—Black Sun Wind Calamity, Great Sun Fire Calamity, Doomsday Heaven Calamity—are not so easily cultivated, because the three supreme divine abilities all contain the tribulation of Heaven and Earth's origin. This was never something an ordinary cultivator could grasp—only "Heaven" itself could. An ordinary cultivator who forced the cultivation could only die an unnatural death.

Think about it: supreme divine abilities like the Black Sun Wind Calamity and the Great Sun Fire Calamity, placed in another world such as the Journey to the West world, would be the power of Heaven's Dao. Even Sun Wukong and all the various immortals had to dodge these calamities of wind and fire.

Cultivation itself is the Way of the Extraordinary—seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth, plundering the mysteries of sun and moon, which even ghosts and gods find hard to tolerate.

Although one may preserve one's looks and extend one's life, after five hundred years, Heaven sends down the Lei Jie.

After another five hundred years, Heaven sends down the Fire Calamity. This fire is not heavenly fire, nor mortal fire, but Yin Fire, Tribulation Fire—it ignites from within oneself, burning straight through the Mud Palace, turning the five viscera to ash, the four limbs to rot, reducing a thousand years of bitter cultivation to illusion.

After another five hundred years, the Wind Calamity descends once more. This wind is not the east, south, west, or north wind, not the gentle metal-bearing wind—it is called the 'Bi Wind.' It blows from the crown into the six viscera, passes through the dantian, the bones and flesh wither and scatter, and the body dissolves of its own accord.

In other worlds, the power of Heaven's Dao, the tribulations of wind and fire—now in this world, cultivators can cultivate them and control them. But to control them is not something every disciple can achieve.

Within the Yitaiyi Sect, the disciples who cultivated the Black Sun Wind Calamity, the Great Sun Fire Calamity, and the Doomsday Heaven Calamity to success were also few—scarcely a handful.

And now, Fang Qingxue activated the Small Fate Art, directly burning her lifespan, and from the endless void gathered all manner of tribulation fire. With the might of her own body, she refined this tribulation fire to success, transforming it into a terrifying great formation that finally settled within her body.

The Black Sun Wind Calamity and the Great Sun Fire Calamity—abilities that normally required a cultivator a hundred years of polishing to cultivate to success—were both completed by Fang Qingxue in less than a single hour.

This was simply inconceivable.

But it was not yet over, because after gaining eight hundred years of lifespan, she had only cultivated two supreme divine abilities and still had some lifespan left, so she continued to burn a hundred years of lifespan here to cultivate other divine abilities.

More Xu Yuan Qi came rolling in, and Fang Qingxue directly sacrificed and refined it, forging it into a great formation of perfect completion.

"Now I have only two years of lifespan left. It is time to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Fang Qingxue spoke.

"I will stand guard for you, Senior Sister."

Fang Yu sat down in the middle of the field, choosing not to cultivate yet, and instead stood guard for Fang Qingxue.

However, in his heart, there were a few complaints he had to spit out.

The hacking speed of this Small Fate Art—across all the myriad worlds, through the vastness of chaos—which few systems could compare to it?
