Chapter 441: The Great Five Elements Art: The Strongest Scripture of the Palace Secret Realm

Fang Yu and Jiang Shenwang sat within the Zhang family village, yet could see events unfolding over ten li away.

Fang Yu had wiped out all bandits within five hundred li around the Zhang family village, but some xiuxingmen sects, like Qingxiamen, had now emerged.

In fact, some of those bandits had been backed by Qingxiamen, carrying out its dirty work.

After Fang Yu cleared the bandits, some in Qingxiamen felt as if they had lost something—like losing a leg—making their affairs inconvenient, which led the Zhang Sect's son to descend the mountain personally, seeking xunyuan people to locate source veins for Qingxiamen.

They were immediately reduced to ashes by Fang Yu.

Jiang Shenwang cast a glance at this matter.

He knew that as long as source existed in the Northern Region, this situation would never end: bandits served xiaomen sects, xiaomen sects served men sects, and the men sects always remained clean, while all the dirty work was done by those below.

The chaos of hearts in the Northern Region could not be eradicated.

"Thank you, Immortal. Shenwang."

When Zhang Kuang returned to the village, he bowed to Fang Yu.

He knew only these two beings could obliterate Qingxiamen cultivators from over ten li away.

These days, this Immortal and that Shenwang had clashed in battle; though far from them, the terrifying aura had filled them with awe, as if facing deities.

"These sect members are outright tumors—they deserve death. When Ye Fan returns, you can ask him to wipe out Qingxiamen entirely. Isn't he short on source? Qingxiamen has plenty."

Fang Yu spoke, casually unleashing a strand of true qi to heal Zhang Kuang's injuries.

Then his gaze turned toward a city.

This city was called Pingyan City, six hundred li from Shi Zhai, one of the more prosperous cities nearby, situated within a green oasis spanning hundreds of li.

Fang Yu's dao techniques could annihilate bandits within five hundred li, but that didn't mean he could only see within five hundred li—when he wished, he could see up to six hundred li.

Pingyan City was among the more prosperous in the Northern Region, with a population of roughly three hundred thousand, yet even this number fell far short of the population of a single street in a city of the Da Xuan Empire.

Fang Yu's gaze fell upon Pingyan City and discovered that Ye Fan had clearly won big in source gambling, but after leaving the city, he was pursued by several individuals.

Those cultivators were unmistakably from Qingxiamen—they had encountered Ye Fan and his group at a source stall, mocked them mercilessly, and wished nothing more than to strip Ye Fan of all his wealth and sever his head.

Thus, at the source stall, Qingxiamen's people gambled source with Ye Fan, lost all their source, then saw Ye Fan reveal several ancient wonders, so they chased him out of the city.

"Mud monkey, how dare you win source from Qingxiamen? You're finished, do you know that?"

"Mud monkey, still unaware you're at death's door? Don't kill him outright—take your time and torture him."

Another Qingxiamen disciple spoke.

"Break their legs, force them to kneel—I don't even know yet how I'll torment you."

Qingxiamen disciples laughed with sinister glee, revealing their full potential for self-destruction.

"No time to waste on you!"

Ye Fan's expression darkened; he unleashed his realm—Other Shore late stage—sufficient to sweep away all disciples.

In an instant, he obliterated Qingxiamen's minor players.

Only one Other Shore realm "genius" from Qingxiamen remained, but he didn't survive three strikes before Ye Fan cut him down.

Ye Fan led the two men from Shi Zhai back to Shi Zhai.

Upon hearing that Zhang Kuang had also been bullied by Qingxiamen, Ye Fan's face flushed with fury, yet he did not rush straight to Qingxiamen—he first needed to break through a realm.

Palace Secret Realm.

"Palace Secret Realm."

Fang Yu sat not far from Ye Fan, observing him; Ye Fan had gained some rare fortune in Pingyan City, carving out a small piece of crimson source—an exotic variant—where a tiny fragment equaled ten jin of source, making him suddenly wealthy.

Additionally, he obtained a piece of ancient insect source—a spirit insect from the ancient past sealed within source; a grain-sized worm could match dozens of jin of source, and if sold in Shengcheng, it could fetch a hundred jin of pure source.

Ye Fan was suddenly wealthy.

Coupled with the source he won from gambling against Qingxiamen's people, he now had sufficient source to potentially break through into the Palace Secret Realm.

"The Sea of Chaos lies below the navel; the Palace Secret Realm lies above, corresponding to the five organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys—known as the Five Spirits, storing essence and qi without leaking, nurturing life without decay, an extraordinarily powerful Secret Realm."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on Ye Fan; he could perceive many things.

Human anatomy differed across worlds: in the Eternal Life Realm, there were five organs, but no concept of the Palace Secret Realm; in this world, the five organs corresponded to the Palace Secret Realm.

The Palace Secret Realm was an indispensable Secret Realm—anyone seeking immortality must devote intense effort here, and any cultivator wishing to comprehend the Immortal Dao must cultivate the Five Phases within it.

The boundless Sea of Chaos surged, the Divine Bridge arced across the sky, carrying Ye Fan before the Heavenly Palace gates, beyond which the Dao Gate loomed in the distance.

Within the Heavenly Palace gates, a divine aura seemed to stir; at this moment, Ye Fan sensed dao force, reaching right before him.

"The Ancient Holy Body has entered the Palace Secret Realm today."

Nearby, Jiang Shenwang also observed Ye Fan; as a Shenwang himself, he possessed a special sensitivity to the Ancient Holy Body.

"Indeed, Ye Fan has entered the Palace Secret Realm."

Fang Yu's spiritual sense drifted quietly, observing all of it—he could clearly see the minute changes within Ye Fan's body, but the shifts in his mind remained obscure.

For he had never witnessed the boundless Sea of Chaos, nor seen the Divine Bridge; he did not need to ascend a spiritual height and leap into the Palace Secret Realm to create a divine figure.

Such insights were beyond him, yet he could see Ye Fan's mood seemed joyful, and within his body, five qi currents surged toward heaven like divine smoke, rising upward.

The Five Spirits' qi pierced the heavens, breaking through the clouds—this was a unique dao manifestation.
