Chapter 455

"What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

On another True Transmission Peak, some True Transmission disciples—those with 1st Stage Divine Abilities' magic power, 2nd Stage true qi, 3rd Stage Daoist Gang Qi, and 4th Stage yin-yang—were gathering, along with several Elders of Yuhua Sect.

At the head of their gathering sat a master of 5th Stage Heavenly Man Realm, named Bai Zhan True Person, who wore not a Daoist robe but armor—something resembling a Divine Ability, like the Dark Yellow Shrouding Hand.

Of course, his armor was far inferior to Fang Yu's Shrouding Dark Yellow Hand.

This "Bai Zhan True Person" had not only cultivated Yuhua Sect's Divine Abilities but also obtained an ancient rarity: the Bai Zhan Armor, a Supreme Treasure Artifact, fused with his flesh and blood, making him immensely powerful; from the armor he had also unlocked a supreme Divine Ability, truly a great stroke of fortune.

He was one of the most formidable True Transmission disciples in Yuhua Sect and had gathered many disciples around him in daily life.

"It's indeed noisy outside—we don't know what happened, but let's continue our gathering. Brother Bai Zhan, given this situation, I suggest you become an Elder and cultivate deep within Yuhua Tiangong; the resources there are abundant, and there's no need to scheme for the position of Zhang Sect."

One Elder said.

This Elder had once been a True Transmission disciple over a decade ago, but realizing he could never compete with Hua Tiandu, he abandoned any ambition for the position of Zhang Sect and devoted himself entirely to quiet cultivation.

Yuhua Sect's rule: True Transmission disciples must make contributions to earn the sect's cultivation support; otherwise, they live in misery—unless they gain great fortune, they cannot thrive. But becoming an Elder of Yuhua Sect means being sustained by the sect, needing no going out to seek resources—just apply directly to the sect.

As long as it's not excessive, the sect will approve.

Of course, Elders sometimes refine Spirit Artifacts or even Treasure Artifacts, and at such times, they receive even greater support from the sect.

"Indeed, recently Yuhua Sect has produced many talents: Fang Qingxue is one, Fang Yu is another, and even Fang Han is one—he gained a tremendous fortune in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and upon emerging, he reached 5th Stage Heavenly Man Realm; clearly a man of great fortune. He hasn't even cultivated in our sect for a year, yet he's already at 5th Stage Heavenly Man Realm—how many years have we cultivated?"

Another Elder spoke up.

"Not necessarily. Our Yuhua Sect has too many geniuses now, but when two tigers fight, one must be injured; the Fang family and Hua Tiandu will inevitably clash violently—that will be my chance. I've cultivated less than sixty years and already achieved Heavenly Man Realm; I still have countless opportunities ahead."

Bai Zhan True Person shook his head and smiled.

"No, it's bad!"

At that moment, a disciple scrambled and rushed over from afar. "Senior Brother Bai Zhan, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened? Why are you so panicked? Even if demonic sects invade, you must maintain the dignity and decorum of a Daoist disciple—even if you die, you must not lose your dignity. Why are you so flustered?"

Bai Zhan True Person immediately showed an annoyed expression.

"No no no… Senior Brother Bai Zhan, it's Fang Yu…"

"What about Fang Yu? Has he turned traitor and attacked Yuhua Tiangong? He doesn't have such power—even a single Supreme Elder stepping out from deep within Yuhua Tiangong could suppress him."

Bai Zhan True Person grew even more annoyed.

"Senior Brother Bai Zhan… you'd better see for yourself!"

The disciple still looked utterly stunned.

"Hmph. What has that Fang Yu done to make you lose all dignity? Very well, everyone, let's go see."

Bai Zhan True Person spoke, leading several of his junior disciples into the air—and then he saw atop Yufeng Peak, a Life Talisman had risen, radiating five-colored divine light, with waves of auspicious clouds, lucky qi, and the sounds of great ritual conches and drums manifesting there.

The sky itself seemed to tremble, and throughout the void echoed voices of praise and worship, as if emerging from nowhere.

"Ninety-nine Great Divine Abilities! His Life Talisman contains ninety-nine Great Divine Abilities!"

Bai Zhan True Person froze, nearly unable to believe it—then suddenly he roared, his piercing voice echoing across all mountains of Yuhua Sect.

"Heavens, have I gone mad from over-cultivation? How could anyone cultivate ninety-nine Great Divine Abilities? Even Hua Tiandu hasn't! Even the great figures of thousands of years ago couldn't cultivate ninety-nine Great Divine Abilities at 6th Stage Heavenly Man Realm!"

"Impossible, impossible, utterly impossible—how could a Life Talisman be formed from ninety-nine Great Divine Abilities? Doesn't he fear explosion? I only have nine Divine Abilities!"

Another Heavenly Man Realm master trembled.

"My Jin Dan—my Jin Dan would shatter instantly if it collided with his Life Talisman. Even if I detonated my Jin Dan, I couldn't break through this Life Talisman—ninety-nine Divine Abilities!"

Ling Xiao, this Jin Dan master, felt bitter water surge from the depths of his heart.

Last time Wan Luo gambled with Fang Yu and lost, his face was ruined—but he didn't gamble, so he remained one of the Five True Transmissions, Dong Lingxiao, enjoying the worship of many disciples.

But now, seeing Fang Yu's Life Talisman formed from ninety-nine Divine Abilities, he felt fear—his own Jin Dan, formed from merely a dozen or so Divine Abilities, would shatter instantly upon contact.

"Fang Yu is too powerful. I can't compete."

West Jialan also rose into the air; she already knew Fang Yu's strength, but seeing him this powerful, she lost her composure.

A Life Talisman forged from ninety-nine Divine Abilities—she had never dared to dream of such a thing.

"The great ritual conches blow! The great ritual drums beat! This is the potential for Immortality! And that is a Life Talisman formed from ninety-nine Divine Abilities! Our Yuhua Sect has produced such a genius disciple!"

With a bang, the gate of Elder Tian Xing Palace opened.

Elder Tian Xing flew out, saw Fang Yu's condition from afar, and roared as well.

A ten-thousand-year-old giant, possessing a lifespan equal to that of a Great Emperor of Shrouding Heaven Realm—yet now he lost his composure, shouting wildly.

One could imagine the immense shock Fang Yu had delivered to the entire Yuhua Sect.

The moment Fang Yu's Life Talisman appeared in the air, everyone felt overwhelming terror.

This Life Talisman in the void gave everyone a sense of holiness, majesty, creation, immortality, origin, glory, myth, honor—words failed to describe the awe.

Everyone felt insignificant before this talisman—even Jin Dan masters one level above Fang Yu, or even Heaven-Body masters two or three levels above—felt this talisman could instantly kill them, leaving no chance to resist.

A Life Talisman formed from ninety-nine Divine Abilities was nothing short of legend.

"This matter must be reported to the Zhang Sect Supreme! He must be richly rewarded!"

Elder Tian Xing finally came to his senses, his expression filled with immense joy.

"Fang Yu, come with me!"

"Yes…"
