Chapter 463

This is different from Fang Yu's Five Elements Land income.

The World Tree's income comes daily, continuous and unceasing, while Fang Yu's Five Elements Land treasure auctions occur only at intervals, yielding a huge profit of several billion elixirs each time.

But the World Tree itself is far stronger than the Five Elements Land Fang Yu relies on.

"Fang Han, if I'm not mistaken, the miraculous treasure you possess is the legendary World Tree—so the tales say, in ancient times, our Huang Da World had an incomparably wondrous tree called the World Tree, capable of linking the Huang Da World with the Xianjiezhi Sect and drawing in Xu Yuan Qi from the Xianjiezhi Sect. But later, it was cut down by a great adept. I never imagined it would end up in your hands."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on one elixir after another nearby, as if lost in thought; after a moment, he spoke.

"Oh? Brother Yu also knows of the World Tree? Indeed, this divine tree in my hands is the World Tree."

Fang Han's expression remained joyful; he was not surprised that his brother Yu had guessed the truth—Brother Yu had cultivated longer and knew things of the Cultivation World, which was only natural.

Especially since the World Tree had some legends in the Huang Da World, though now everyone treated such tales as myths and did not believe them true.

"Fang Han, you actually obtained the World Tree—truly blessed by heaven. I've heard that in ancient times, people could climb to the Xianjiezhi Sect via the World Tree. I'm very curious—could I observe it closely?"

Fang Yu's face showed curiosity as he spoke to Fang Han.

"What's difficult about that? Brother, observe freely."

Fang Han smiled and immediately summoned the fragment of the World Tree, unafraid Fang Yu might truly seize this legendary divine object.

First, he trusted his brother Yu's character—there was no way he'd do such a thing; second, he had already subjugated the World Tree, and with a mere thought, he could reclaim it.

No one else could easily subjugate this World Tree.

"Good!"

Fang Yu instantly drew the young World Tree toward him, carefully sensing it—he felt every inch of its leaves and roots seemed rooted in some hidden space beyond perception.

At that moment, his spirit and magic power became utterly calm, as clear as crystal, utterly pure, and flowed along the World Tree's roots, seeping into boundless emptiness.

Instantly, he saw a new world.

Here were endless spacetimes, within which surged infinite spacetime storms; before reaching the Longevity Secret Realm, attempting to perceive them would easily set one ablaze.

But now, protected by the World Tree's roots, Fang Yu advanced gradually; moreover, he possessed the Spirit Flame—though tiny in the boundless spacetimes, it still existed, vastly superior to having none.

Fang Yu saw endless spacetime storms extending infinitely far—those terrifying storms could annihilate even Longevity Secret Realm 1st or 2nd Stage experts who had not yet comprehended spatial laws—but Fang Yu, still under the World Tree's protection, could endure.

Suddenly, the spacetime storms ahead grew fiercer; the pure light surrounding Fang Yu trembled, on the verge of being utterly shattered—and at that instant, his spirit condensed once more, and he glimpsed, deep in the distant spacetime, a faint, indistinct origin point.

That origin point was, seemingly, the legendary Xianjiezhi Sect.

At that moment, the surrounding spacetime grew even more violent, and the pure light around Fang Yu shattered one by one; Fang Yu immediately retracted his Spirit Flame into his body, yet still suffered considerable backlash.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, but his gaze grew extraordinarily bright.

"Brother Yu, are you alright?"

Outside, Fang Han saw his brother Yu, while gazing at the World Tree, suddenly spit blood—he was startled, unsure what had befallen his brother.

"I'm fine. Indeed, one must do what one's realm permits, or face backlash."

Though Fang Yu spat blood, he smiled.

For just now, using the World Tree as a medium, he had truly sensed the Xianjiezhi Sect—greatly beneficial to his cultivation base.

To sense the Xianjiezhi Sect, using supreme spirit to defy heaven and alter fate, opening the hidden Xianjiezhi Sect gate—this is a technique only attainable at the Longevity Secret Realm, where one's spirit reaches an unimaginable level, directly perceiving the Xianjiezhi Sect gate and drawing in Xu Yuan Qi, reaching the state of a spirit that feeds on qi and becomes immortal.

But now, Fang Yu, using the World Tree—a divine tree—has taken a shortcut, perceiving the Xianjiezhi Sect even at the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm.

Such a stroke of fortune is almost unheard of.

Even someone like Hua Tiandu could not perceive the Xianjiezhi Sect at the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm—he is now at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, Realm of Life, yet still remains there because he lacks the ability to break through the Xianjiezhi Sect gate.

Fang Yu, however, has had this fortune and perceived the Xianjiezhi Sect.

What is the Xianjiezhi Sect?

In the most ancient, primordial legends, the Xianjiezhi Sect is the origin point of all myriad worlds, a mysterious spacetime unknown to all, yet influencing all realms.

Only within the Xianjiezhi Sect is there the realm of eternal, unchanging freedom across all spacetimes.

Though the strongest in the Huang Da World, Exalted Linglong, established the Linglong Dalaotian to reach eternal freedom across all spacetimes, even her current cultivation base is still far from that realm.

Only by attaining Dao and ascending to immortality, rising to the Xianjiezhi Sect, could she possibly reach such a state.

The 10th Stage of Physical Body, the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, the 10th Stage of Longevity—each realm cultivated through arduous struggle, refining spirit and will amid life and death—all to enter the Xianjiezhi Sect, reach this mysterious spacetime, and truly become an eternal, indestructible existence across all spacetimes.

Now, having perceived the Xianjiezhi Sect through the World Tree, Fang Yu gains immense benefit for future realm breakthroughs.

"So it has this effect."

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Fang Han's face lit up with eagerness.

"The World Tree does allow perception of boundless spacetimes, but those spacetime storms are extremely dangerous—if one slips up, one could become Bai Chi. Brother Fang Han must be extremely cautious."

Seeing his brother's eagerness, Fang Yu warned him.

"Thank you, brother, I'll be careful."

Fang Han nodded.

At that moment, the Tianzhen Pavilion auction had reached its final item: a Top-Grade item of pure yang.

A classical pavilion-ship, about three feet long, nine stories tall, each level exquisitely crafted, fully furnished within.

The pavilion-ship was pure, clear in color, like the sky itself—though unknown what material it was forged from, it radiated boundless pure yang energy, as if entirely saturated with pure yang force.

"This is an ancient marvel—the Great Brahma Light Ship. Its power is limitless, forged by an ancient eccentric to evade calamities of the Grand World. Though not yet fully completed, its strength is evident to all. Starting bid: fifty million."

The auctioneer spoke.

"Great Brahma Light Ship?"

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on this treasure—truly a Top-Grade magic treasure among Top-Grade magic treasures, similar to the Profound Heaven Suppressing Demon Tower he had once purchased, both excellent pure yang treasures capable of suppressing countless demons.

But he already possessed the Profound Heaven Suppressing Demon Tower, having elevated that Top-Grade magic treasure to a Low-grade Dao Artifact, so he had no interest in this one.

"Brother Yu, this magic treasure greatly benefits me—if my funds are insufficient, could you lend me some? I'll repay you within a month with Nascent Soul elixirs."

Fang Han was extremely excited; Yan within the Huang Quan Map was also ecstatic, nearly drooling.

"If I devour this pure yang ship, my power will surge dramatically, and the Huang Quan Map will unleash far more terrifying power—I must obtain it!"

Yan flew wildly within the Huang Quan Map.

"Alright, since Brother Fang Han wants this supreme treasure, then it is yours."

Fang Yu spoke.

He had already emerged from the Huang Quan Map and landed in the VIP chamber, contemplating his recent insights into the Immortal Realm, and said:

"Thank you, Elder Brother. My World Tree has just successfully ascended, and I truly don't have this many elixirs on me—but Elder Brother, rest assured, I won't default on you."

Fang Han's face lit up with joy.

"That's no problem."

Fang Yu nodded.

Exchanging White Yang Elixirs for Fang Han's Nascent Soul Elixirs was clearly not a loss.

Although one Nascent Soul Elixir could be exchanged for a hundred White Yang Elixirs, for Fang Yu, the value of a hundred White Yang Elixirs was nowhere near as effective as one Nascent Soul Elixir—after all, Fang Han's Nascent Soul Elixirs were directly infused with Xu Yuan Qi from the Immortal Realm, offering far greater benefits, far surpassing even two hundred White Yang Elixirs.

Thus, exchanging White Yang Elixirs of equal value for Nascent Soul Elixirs was undoubtedly a profit.

White Yang Elixirs were widely accepted in the market.

But Nascent Soul Elixirs were scarce—no matter how many White Yang Elixirs you had, you couldn't easily buy them in bulk.

Think about it: brewing a gourdful of White Yang Elixirs was relatively easy, but brewing a gourdful of Nascent Soul Elixirs was immensely difficult—the materials alone required years of searching, not to mention the painstaking process of refinement.

That said, in the Yellow Great World, Nascent Soul Elixirs were primarily produced by the Taiyi Sect, which possessed the immortal artifact Eternal Divine Furnace, capable of refining vast quantities of Nascent Soul Elixirs.

Because of this, the Taiyi Sect monopolized the Nascent Soul Elixir market and manipulated trade to great advantage.

As for Pure Yang Elixirs, they were even more precious than Nascent Soul Elixirs; in the Yellow Great World, even if you had Nascent Soul Elixirs, you still couldn't necessarily exchange a hundred of them for one Pure Yang Elixir.

Fang Yu was now preparing to break through the Golden Core Realm; his Life Talisman, forged from ninety-nine divine arts, needed a massive amount of Xu Yuan Qi to transform into a Jin Dan.

Although the Yuhua Sect's Zhang Sect had granted him two hundred thousand Pure Yang Elixirs, he still needed to accumulate many Nascent Soul Elixirs as reserves.

In the Eternal Life Realm, breaking through the realm depended not merely on insight, but on Xu Yuan Qi.

Without sufficient Xu Yuan Qi, even perfect insight could not trigger a breakthrough.

Thus, exchanging White Yang Elixirs for Nascent Soul Elixirs was definitely not a loss—after all, Fang Yu could never use White Yang Elixirs when breaking through the realm; by then, it would be too late.

"Based on my purchasing experience, an item starting at fifty million might cost two hundred million—or even three hundred million—to secure."

Fang Yu's VIP chamber did not bid; his avatar went out to bid instead.

In any case, bidding up by tens of millions didn't bother him.

But this time, a bid increase of tens of millions was enough to shock others into silence.

Originally, someone in the VIP chamber had planned to bid fifty-one million to test the waters, but Fang Yu's avatar immediately raised the bid by fifty million, pushing the price to one hundred million—prompting many to immediately withdraw.

Even Fang Han was stunned by this bidding style; he heard his Elder Brother Fang Yu imparting wisdom and teaching him the principles.

An item starting at fifty million typically costs two to three hundred million to acquire, so jumping straight to one hundred million was fine—it merely accelerated the process.

"One hundred and ten million."

Someone else bid, raising the price by ten million.
