Chapter 465: I, Fang Yu, am a cultivation genius of the highest order in this world
Places like auctions are always prone to conflict. For instance, someone just tried to spy on Fang Yu's clone, only to have their spiritual sense obliterated by it. Immediately, someone began clamoring that Fang Yu was finished, and that no one in heaven or on earth could save him.
However, even if one wishes to engage in a magical duel, it is not permitted within the city; one must wait until Fang Yu's clone has left the city.
Pondering these many murderous intentions, Fang Yu wore a smile. He decided that his clone would head to the Exalted Exalted Linglong Tower, while his main body would go to the territory of the Qunxing Sect.
"Brother Fang Yu, our Qunxing Sect also has properties here. We can go there to rest; no one will disturb us."
Xingyun Baobao flew forward first, with Fang Yu and Fang Han following behind. Before long, they saw a towering high pagoda, its four sides inlaid with crystals that formed an array, within which starlight flickered.
Fang Yu could naturally feel the incredibly vast star power from the sky pouring down and entering this pagoda; it was truly formidable.
Xingyun Baobao shook the "Sun-Moon Five-Star Bracelet," and they immediately shuttled inside, landing in a great hall at the top of the pagoda, which was peaceful and serene.
Infinite star power filled the space, making it extremely suitable for cultivation. Fang Yu had a feeling that cultivating here would greatly enhance his star-related divine abilities and supreme divine abilities, with excellent results.
"This is the Haoxing Pagoda. We have built many of them within the Great Xuan Empire, but every year we must pay taxes to the Great Xuan Imperial family in the form of elixirs, and the Great Xuan Empire must also pay contributions to the Taiyi Sect."
Xingyun Baobao said.
Although he was young, he was not stupid, especially as the son of the Qunxing Sect Master; he was quite clear about this layer of relationships.
"That is true, otherwise the Taiyi Sect would not allow you to build such things in the Great Xuan Empire."
Fang Yu nodded.
The Taiyi Sect was truly shrewd. After occupying the vast market of the Great Xuan Empire, their development had far surpassed other immortal sects. In particular, they could collect taxes and mint Nascent Soul Pills, which other sects could not compare to.
"By the way, Brother Fang Han, this time when I went out to travel, my father also instructed me to do one thing: to take out 300 million in elixirs and bring them back to the sect's elixir room for storage. He said that there have been changes in the world recently, and the disciples in the sect must cultivate diligently. Since you can now refine Nascent Soul Pills, could you let me exchange 300 million Yang-Sun Pills for 3 million Nascent Soul Pills? If I can bring 3 million Nascent Soul Pills back, my father and the elders will surely look at me with admiration."
Xingyun Baobao rubbed his head with his chubby hands, then pouted. "There are several powerful senior brothers in the sect now who are eyeing the position of Sect Master. Although I am not interested in the position of Sect Master, I do not like these senior brothers."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Yu and Fang Han's gazes turned over; both of them had the same thought.
"Since Brother Yu and I are here, we naturally won't let you return empty-handed. However, for 3 million Nascent Soul Pills, I need time. Brother Yu here also has 2 million Nascent Soul Pills. How about this: wait for me for a few days, and both Brother Yu and you, Baobao, will each get 3 million Nascent Soul Pills."
Fang Han pondered for a moment.
He could now refine 30,000 Nascent Soul Pills every day. Xingyun Baobao's 3 million Nascent Soul Pills could basically be refined in 100 days. As for Brother Yu's 2 million Nascent Soul Pills, he decided to be generous and give 3 million as well.
Building a good relationship with Brother Yu was something he would never lose out on.
"Then I thank you, Junior Brother Fang Han."
Fang Yu nodded upon hearing that Fang Han was going to give him 3 million Nascent Soul Pills, and then his gaze turned to Xingyun Baobao. "Xingyun Baobao, since you want to compete for the position of Sect Master, with our help, the position of Qunxing Sect Master will surely be yours."
Fang Yu was, of course, aware of the succession to the position of Sect Master.
Although Xingyun Baobao's father was the Star Lord and the current Qunxing Sect Master, the future position of Sect Master did not necessarily have to fall to Xingyun Baobao.
Take the Yuhua Sect, for example: if the Sect Master, Exalted Feng Feng Baiyu, had a son, after the Sect Master abdicated, the person to become the Sect Master could be Fang Yu himself, or it could be Hua Middle Tiandu; it would not necessarily be Feng Feng Baiyu's son.
According to the rules of immortal sects, the position of Sect Master is chosen from among the true disciples, not from among the elders. For instance, if the current Sect Master were to abdicate, Elder Tian Xing could not become the next Sect Master.
As for the son of the Sect Master, unless his cultivation base ranked first among all the true disciples, he could not become a candidate for the next Sect Master.
Otherwise, once the current Sect Master abdicated and became a Supreme Elder, the former Sect Master's son would become the son of a Supreme Elder. The status might still sound very noble, but he would lose many privileges.
After all, a sect has many Supreme Elders, and there are many sons of Supreme Elders.
If Xingyun Baobao could exchange 300 million in elixirs for 3 million Nascent Soul Pills this time, many elders would admire him upon his return, laying a solid foundation for him to become Sect Master in the future.
In a word, 300 million Yang-Sun Pills are theoretically equal to 3 million Nascent Soul Pills, but it does not mean that just because you have 300 million Yang-Sun Pills, you can actually exchange them for 3 million Nascent Soul Pills.
Both Fang Yu and Fang Han were very clear about this point.
If Xingyun Baobao could become the Sect Master of the Qunxing Sect, it would not be a bad thing.
The three of them each had their own thoughts, but they all began to cultivate within the territory of the Qunxing Sect.
Fang Han had obtained the Top-Grade magic treasure, the Great Brahma Light Boat, and gave it directly to Yan, the artifact spirit of the Huangquan Map.
Yan was joyfully absorbing the pure Yang energy within this pure Yang Top-Grade magic treasure. His former cultivation base was equivalent to a cultivator at the 2nd Stage of Longevity, the Undying Body, but he had encountered a tribulation and had his realm knocked down. However, as long as he had pure Yang energy, he could recover his strength.
And once he recovered his strength, he would be able to unleash the various wondrous uses of the Huangquan Map.
At its peak, the Huangquan Map was a Supreme-Grade Dao treasure with infinite power. Back then, the Great Emperor Huangquan obtained the orthodoxy of the ancient Earth Emperor and refined the Huangquan Map for the purpose of finding the Earth Emperor Book left behind by the Earth Emperor. By combining the two, it would transform into an immortal treasure, which shows the extraordinary nature of the Huangquan Map.
Now that Yan had absorbed countless amounts of pure Yang energy all at once, his body began to swell like an inflated balloon, as if it were about to burst at any moment.
But he did not burst.
Because just as he seemed about to burst, his two claws intertwined, forming a very complex hand seal. This series of hand seals contained the supreme Dao principles of heaven and earth; it was unknown what kind of divine ability of the demonic path it was.
Amidst the shifting of the hand seals, strands of the most profound musical notes, seemingly from the depths of heaven and earth, began to resound. Many beautiful musical notes danced around Yan, forming one great array after another.
Once these great arrays were formed, Yan's power increased continuously, while the vast pure yang spiritual energy on the Great Brahma Brightness Ship flowed away even more violently, being absorbed into Yan's body.
In the end, Yan's body became vivid, and countless beads of sweat, or perhaps blood, emerged from those scales that looked like yellow brass.
Clearly, he had gained enormous benefits, moving from his previous weakness to a new level.
And it could be expected that the power of the Huangquan Map would also be greatly enhanced.
Once Fang Yu's spiritual sense noticed this, he could see nothing else. Of course, he was no longer paying attention to the cultivation of Yan and Fang Han, because in front of him was the Tree of the World.
Although this Tree of the World belonged to Fang Han, he still borrowed it to temper his mental will.
Using the Tree of the World to perceive the Immortal Realm and temper one's mental will is an incredibly dangerous thing, but it must be said that it is indeed very effective.
Among the heavens, this is the only place where one can temper their mental will in such a way.
Even in the Shrouding Heaven Realm, Fang Yu's life-and-death struggle with Jiang Shenwang to temper his will seemed inferior to extending his spiritual sense along the roots of the Tree of the World into the endless space-time, perceiving the Immortal Realm in the dark amidst the endless space-time storms.
This is a great terror.
Of course, the effect is also very good.
Originally, Fang Yu had cultivated a life-bound talisman formed by 99 types of divine abilities, making it extremely difficult to break through to the Golden Core Realm. However, in the process of continuously tempering his mental will, his mastery of magic power, his understanding of the life-bound talisman, and the elevation of his own will had all reached a new level.
If one were to say that Fang Yu had only just stepped into the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, the Return to Oneness Realm, then now, after experiencing these days of tempering, he had already reached the late stage of the Return to Oneness Realm.
This kind of progress in cultivation is simply unprecedented, with no one before him.
For an ordinary cultivator, wanting to cultivate from the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities to the Golden Core Realm, how could it be achieved without two or three hundred years of tempering?
Cultivating divine abilities is like climbing a ladder, one realm at a time; the higher one goes, the more difficult it becomes. Being able to cultivate one realm in a few hundred years is already very high; breaking through several realms in one year is simply too difficult.
Just as the few were cultivating diligently, suddenly, Yan's voice came from the Huangquan Map. This voice carried a bit of arrogance and a bit of disdain for the world, as if a master who had lost his martial arts had regained his skills.
After Fang Yu woke up from his cultivation, he saw a portal rising in the void.
What kind of portal was this?
Within this portal, there was nothing but boundless demonic energy and a demonic intent so vast it was immeasurable, as if it wanted to devour the human world and turn heaven and earth into a world of demons.
"Hahahaha, my power has accumulated enough; I have finally opened the Gate of Abi!"
Yan laughed wildly in the void.
"The Gate of Abi."
Fang Yu's gaze turned to the great gate behind Yan. It seemed like an array, yet not an array; a divine ability, yet not a divine ability; a magic treasure, yet not a magic treasure. It seemed like a prehistoric giant beast that had existed since the ancient era.
That portal, the Gate of Abi, seemed capable of devouring everything that did not respect the might of heaven. Strands of destructive power were transmitted from within, and even if a person's thoughts made contact with it, they could feel boundless pain.
Abi is a concept from the demonic path, referring to pain without interruption. Once one enters Abi, one must endure eternal pain.
This Gate of Abi was clearly refined by the Great Emperor Huangquan. Being able to collect so many painful thoughts, one can imagine what this demonic Great Emperor did back then; at the very least, he slaughtered countless living beings and collected their painful thoughts.
This is indeed not something of the righteous path.
Fang Yu looked at the Gate of Abi, pondering whether he could destroy this gate with his own cultivation base, and immediately he knew that with his divine abilities, he only needed one spear strike to destroy it.
Now, Yan's strength was still no match for him.
However, there would not be any real conflict. After Yan opened the Gate of Abi all at once, it did indeed intimidate the artifact spirit of the Low-Grade Dao treasure, the Demon Blade Blood Firmament, which Fang Han had once refined.
Things like artifact spirits possess their own intelligence and various human emotions. Clearly, Yan, as an old-school demonic Dao treasure artifact spirit, had been looked down upon by the young artifact spirit because he had lost his power. Now that his power had recovered, he immediately wanted to get back at him.
Fang Han, of course, would not allow this.
Do you not see that they had offended the Ghost Emperor at the auction and must keep enough strength to deal with this old fellow? ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
