Chapter 41

Just as Fang Yu and Prince You, Meng Yu, were talking, others in the arena participated in the assessment.

The Divine Strength Puppet was no match for Fang Yu, but for other aristocratic families and imperial disciples, it was not so easy to defeat.

Among them, there was a disciple whose physical cultivation had reached the sixth level of the physical body, the Breath realm. He was momentarily stunned by the roar of the Divine Strength Puppet, lost the initiative, and was almost killed. If it hadn't been for an examiner of the Feathered Immortal Sect intervening personally, he would have been killed.

The result of that assessment was naturally failure.

One disciple after another participated in the assessment, most of them failing. In the end, only about twenty people passed the assessment.

"Good, today's assessment is over. Those who did not pass, please leave the mountain. As for the disciples who passed, please follow me to receive the sect's necessities. From now on, you are outer sect disciples of my Feathered Immortal Sect, disciples of immortals. Every word and action must strictly follow the sect rules."

An examiner shouted loudly, leading Fang Yu and the others who had passed the assessment toward the interior of the Treading Immortal Courtyard.

Before long, everyone arrived at a large palace deep within the inner courtyard, where dozens of large boxes were placed, exactly one for each person.

Click.

An examiner opened a box, revealing the items inside: a piece of clothing, a precious sword, and several talismans.

"This Feathered Daoist Robe is a magic treasure garment, woven from five kinds of peculiar divine silkworm silk, blended with various spiritual medicines. After wearing it, you can avoid a hundred poisons and various miasmas, and it is also impervious to swords and spears."

An examiner introduced, and his words made everyone happy.

Fang Yu was also somewhat pleased.

With such a magic treasure garment, he could indeed protect his physical body.

"And these few talismans: the Body-Cleansing Talisman, containing magic water. If your body is dirty, with a thought, the magic water will immediately wash away the filth, leaving your whole body clean."

"The Dust-Avoiding Talisman, no need to say more. The Soul Fire Talisman, to take fire at any time. The True Water Talisman, which can absorb moisture from the air, purify it, and store it. You will need to go to the desert for training and execute missions in the future. With this talisman, you won't need to bring anything else; otherwise, you would have to fetch water, and what would that look like?"

"And this Hemostasis Talisman, which contains medicinal power. If you are cut by swords or blades, using it will immediately stop the bleeding and heal the wound."

The examiner introduced the five talismans, and all the newly entered disciples were delighted to hear it.

Such things, if placed in the secular world, would be priceless treasures.

"And this sword, called the Demon-Slaying Sword, is a magic treasure. It has been tempered with magic power by the Elders of our Feathered Sect's Supernatural Power Secret Realm. It can slay fierce ghosts and destroy demons. If you can be promoted to inner sect disciples, the sect will even reward you with spirit weapons, capable of killing people from a thousand miles away in an instant."

The examiner continued.

"And these few jade books, which record the three major basic martial arts that our outer sect disciples must learn: the Pine Crane Longevity Fist, the Flying Spirit Soft Bone Body, and the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step. Other things include our Feathered Sect's rules and the 'Various Worlds', which introduces the heavens and worlds. You must also read them carefully and learn more about this world."

"Yes!" ===== CHAPTER 68 =====

"I have become an outer sect disciple of the Feathered Sect."

Fang Yu was now in a mansion in the Sleeping Immortal Courtyard, feeling somewhat emotional.

The Sleeping Immortal Courtyard was where outer sect disciples lived. It was very large, fifty times larger than the Fang family's mansion, containing thousands upon thousands of courtyards.

The Feathered Immortal Sect had hundreds of thousands of outer sect disciples, all living in this plain to cultivate. Fang Yu was in the Sleeping Immortal Courtyard. Besides this, there were the Staying Immortal Courtyard, the Clear Immortal Courtyard, the Quiet Immortal Courtyard, the Peaceful Immortal Courtyard, and so on.

The scale of each immortal courtyard was equivalent to an imperial palace, extremely grand.

The courtyard Fang Yu lived in now was several acres in size, with pavilions and towers, swaying bamboo, and everywhere in the garden were trickling streams. The air was filled with spiritual energy, a scene of an immortal family.

Such an environment was indeed much better than what Fang Yu had in the Fang family.

Fang Yu was now sitting on the bed in his room, having changed into the magic treasure garment, and immediately felt a fresh and natural aura throughout his body, along with a faint fragrance.

This garment could avoid a hundred poisons and miasmas, avoid snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and was not afraid of ordinary swords and blades. In the secular world, it could not be bought for ten thousand taels of gold, but in the Feathered Sect, it was one of the basic sets for every outer sect disciple.

This was the basic welfare of an outer sect disciple.

After Fang Yu put on the magic treasure garment, he also dripped blood to refine the Body-Cleansing Talisman, the Dust-Avoiding Talisman, the Soul Fire Talisman, the True Water Talisman, and the Hemostasis Talisman, and immediately felt a spiritual connection.

With a thought, a wisp of flame emerged from the Soul Fire Talisman.

It was indeed very miraculous.

He then activated the True Water Talisman, and immediately, clear and pure water flowed out from the talisman, also emitting a faint fragrance.

It was also very easy to use.

Of course, the effect of the Dust-Avoiding Talisman was slightly weaker, after all, he was still in the courtyard of the Feathered Immortal Sect, which was spotless, so there was no chance to avoid dust.

Once he went out, he could use it.

These five talismans were all very good. After Fang Yu put them away, he looked at the other jade books.

One jade book was inscribed with the Pine Crane Longevity Fist. Upon opening it, a Daoist appeared on the jade book, flickering, moving, and demonstrating the martial arts of the Pine Crane Longevity Fist. At the same time, a voice was transmitted, explaining the subtleties of the Pine Crane Longevity Fist.

The details were many times better than what the Giant Spirit Hand, Fang Tong, had explained.

Besides this Pine Crane Longevity Fist, there were also the Flying Spirit Soft Bone Body and the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step. Upon opening the jade books, each also had a Daoist appearing to demonstrate the mysteries of these two martial arts.

The Flying Spirit Soft Bone Body was a movement technique that could train the whole body to be as soft as if it had no bones, as soft as silk and cotton.

As for the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step, it was an extremely mysterious footwork, and not just footwork. Fang Yu watched for a moment and sensed that this footwork also had many benefits for cultivating the internal organs.

If a disciple in the Divine Strength realm constantly practiced the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step, it was possible to cultivate from the Divine Strength realm to the sixth level of the physical body, the Breath realm.

"Tiger Pounce, Dragon Swim!"

Seeing this martial art, Fang Yu performed the footwork, while simultaneously imagining a green dragon and a white tiger in his mind. The dragon and tiger swam in the abyss, his body like a swimming dragon, his qi like a fierce tiger, his breath rotating, driving his internal organs to strike with a real sense of rhythm.

Dragon essence, tiger ferocity.

Fang Yu immediately felt the organs in his body condense again, becoming increasingly hard.

His breath was smooth, and his spirit became increasingly vigorous.

This was the mystery of the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step.

Originally, if a person had never seen a dragon or a tiger, even if they wanted to imagine the momentum and spirit of a dragon and a tiger to practice their footwork, it would be extremely difficult.

Meditation is not wild imagination; if you haven't seen it, imagining it is impossible to succeed.

But the Feathered Immortal Sect had experts who had seen dragons and tigers, so they created the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step for outer sect disciples to practice footwork, cultivate internal organs, and temper their spirit, laying a foundation for the sect's disciples.

This was equivalent to cultivating on the shoulders of predecessors; one only needed to follow the steps, and it was possible to break through the realm.

Fang Yu had now obtained the Dragon-Form Flying Tiger Step, which could be considered a good harvest.

Putting down these three martial arts manuals, Fang Yu looked at another jade book.

Various Worlds.

The sect had issued a total of five jade books: three were martial arts manuals, one was the sect rules, and the last one was Various Worlds. The simple three characters revealed a vast and boundless world.

When Fang Yu opened "Various Worlds", images of alternating light and shadow appeared, and rows of directories appeared before him.

The Ten Immortal Sects.

The Five Demon Sects.

The Seven Branches of the Magic Sect.

Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons.

Underground Demon People.

Ancient Secrets.

Dynasties of the World.

There were fully a thousand directories, appearing one after another, seemingly all-encompassing and all-inclusive. Common knowledge about cultivation in this world, such as elixirs, magic treasures, sect forces, and legendary treasures, were all mentioned.

"The world is so large that even the Longevity Secret Realm cannot glimpse one ten-thousandth of it. This book only records what I have seen and heard, forming the book 'Various Worlds'. Future generations must read this book to know the greatness of heaven and earth, the vastness of the universe, increase their knowledge, and cultivate diligently."

This was the general outline of "Various Worlds".

After passing the general outline, there were descriptions of the forces of the major immortal, magic, and demon sects, various powerful magic treasures, elixirs, and introductions to many dynasties and secret realms, including continents, oceans, deserts, forests, snowfields, and even introductions to some stars outside the Mysterious Yellow Great World.

"The Ten Immortal Sects are the Taiyi Sect, the Feathered Sect, the Star Sect, the Heaven-Piercing Sword Sect, the Dan Ding Sword Sect, the Sun-Moon Sword Sect, the One Origin Sect, the Exalted Exalted Exalted Exalted Linglong Blessed Land, the Wan Gui Immortal Island, and the Water Mirror Cave Heaven."

Fang Yu first turned to the place of the Ten Immortal Sects and saw the introduction to the Ten Immortal Sects.

These ten major immortal cultivation sects were recognized as major immortal sects. Within the sects, there were supreme existences of the Longevity Secret Realm, and disciples of the Supernatural Power Secret Realm were not few in number. As for other disciples, they were countless.

Their influence spread throughout the entire Mysterious Yellow Great World. Behind some dynasties and empires in the Mysterious Yellow Great World, there were often the shadows of these immortal sects.

For example, behind the Great Xuan Empire, the number one empire in the Mysterious Yellow Great World, was the Taiyi Sect, the number one immortal sect in the world.

And like the Great Li Dynasty where Fang Yu was, the main force behind it was the Feathered Immortal Sect, but the Star Sect also seemed to have a hand in it, competing with the Feathered Sect for resources.

As for the Water Mirror Cave Heaven, Exalted Exalted Exalted Exalted Linglong Blessed Land, etc., they seemed to be in a unique void, not like the Feathered Sect which still had continuous mountains. Their sect gates were in a unique space, and no one could discover them.

"The number one sect in the world is the Taiyi Sect, which wants to determine the life and death of all cultivators in the world based on merit."

Fang Yu opened the introduction to the Taiyi Sect and saw this sentence.

This number one sect wanted to create a merit system, judging all cultivators according to their standards. If one performed meritorious deeds, they would be rewarded; if one violated them, they would be punished, or even killed directly.

"An overbearing aura..." ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
