Chapter 478

This is the terrifying nature of the Great Devouring Art of the Three Thousand Great Dao: when cultivated to perfect completion, it becomes an immensely powerful means of survival and offense.

Beneath the Great Devouring Art, any Xu Yuan Qi that strikes is devoured; Fang Yu himself resembles a Kunpeng, capable of containing infinite Xu Yuan Qi—unless an enemy's magic power can instantly burst him open, they cannot harm him in the slightest.

The Great Devouring Art of the Three Thousand Great Dao, when perfected, is akin to possessing a Devouring Sacred Body or a Chaos Divine Body—extremely powerful.

Walking as if on level ground within the Daoist Gang Qi layer, Fang Yu directly reached the ninth heaven, ten thousand zhang above.

The Daoist Gang Qi here was even fiercer; even a celestial treasure could be blown to dust in an instant, yet Fang Yu remained utterly unmoved.

"Big Brother Fang Yu, Big Brother Fang Han, we're almost at Qunxing Sect's Shanmen."

Star Cloud Baby spoke, pointing his finger forward.

Following Star Cloud Baby's finger, Fang Yu saw a colossal meteorite, unmoving amid the endless Daoist Gang Qi, high above at ten thousand zhang.

No one could describe the feeling of seeing such a massive meteorite here—it was profoundly ancient, majestic, grand, desolate, and brimming with boundless mystery; endless stellar power seemed to constantly descend upon this great meteorite, yet the terrifying Daoist Gang Qi could not budge it.

A terrifying force seemed to lie dormant deep within the meteorite; even a single movement could unleash power capable of destroying the Heavens and Worlds.

This was the Shanmen of Qunxing Sect, one of the Xiandaoshi Sect!

Seeing this Shanmen, both Fang Yu and Fang Han displayed expressions of admiration.

The power contained within this Shanmen surpassed imagination.

"Let's go—we're here. Let's enter."

Star Cloud Baby, familiar with the path, upon seeing the ancient meteorite, immediately flew toward it with Fang Yu and Fang Han.

As they neared within a hundred li of the ancient meteorite, the nine heavens' Daoist Gang Qi ceased—some force seemed to have absorbed all the nine heavens' Gang Qi.

On the meteorite stood a grand stone gate, with steps before it; a group of disciples cultivated to the 8th, 9th, and 10th Stage of Physical Body guarded the Shanmen—clearly Qunxing Sect's inner and outer disciples, each brimming with vigor, patrolling back and forth.

"Who comes here? Ah, it's the Young Master returning!"

"Hail the Young Master!"

Upon seeing newcomers, the disciples immediately grew alert, but upon recognizing Star Cloud Baby, they instantly bowed respectfully.

Meanwhile, some disciples glanced at Fang Yu and Fang Han, wondering what important figures had come to Baishan at Qunxing Sect.

"These two are Senior Brothers Fang Yu and Fang Han of Yuhua Sect, visiting our Qunxing Sect. Do not be disrespectful."

Though Star Cloud Baby was a child, when speaking at Qunxing Sect, his words carried natural authority; as soon as he finished, all gate-guarding disciples bowed respectfully, some even showing expressions of shock.

"Ah, is this the true transmission disciple of Yuhua Sect, Fang Yu? I've heard of his deeds—he, at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm, defeated Six True Persons of Liantaiyi Sect before the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and even Zhao Zhao Xuanyi, Liantaiyi's Jin Dan expert, could not stand against him!"

"Indeed, this is the great figure—the peerless genius of Yuhua Sect, famed far and wide! And that Fang Han, before the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, also displayed divine might, capturing all six True Persons of Liantaiyi Sect alone."

"These two true transmission disciples of Yuhua Sect have come to our Qunxing Sect—what do they want? Are they here to support the Young Master?"

"Be silent—these are not matters for us to discuss."

After respectfully bowing, once Fang Yu and Fang Han entered Qunxing Sect, the gate-guarding disciples began whispering among themselves.

They knew Fang Yu and Fang Han's names clearly; throughout the Xiandao Sect Sect, it was common knowledge that Yuhua Sect had produced two peerless geniuses, both capable of fighting across realms.

Such peerless geniuses—Yuhua Sect had produced two at once—filled even Qunxing Sect's Elders with envy and jealousy.

At this moment, Fang Yu had entered the ancient meteorite; as soon as he stepped through the stone gate, he felt the heavens and earth wide open, space stretching infinitely—it was like another world.

Everywhere he saw green mountains, clear waters, flower-covered hills and seas, and the scent of countless celestial treasures filled the air.

When Fang Yu probed with his spiritual sense, he discovered countless spirit herbs growing here, and various spirit beasts running and thriving everywhere.

On countless Shanfeng, many palaces had been built.

In some depths of empty space, powerful auras radiated—evidently, powerful cultivators had further opened up celestial caverns.

On the ground, there were cities, each housing nearly ten million people—but no cultivators, only ordinary mortals.

These ordinary people lived in perfect peace, needing no farming, no tilling, no trade, no labor whatsoever; their only duty was to pray and kowtow in the temples of the cities.

Inside the temples, Qunxing Sect disciples provided these commoners with abundant food, clothing, and even various luxuries, allowing them to enjoy life fully.

Within the ancient meteorite, space was immensely vast—larger than a nation like the Da Li Dynasty!

"Big Brother Fang Yu, Big Brother Fang Han, within our Qunxing Sect's Shanmen, there are over a hundred million ordinary people. They need not suffer as mortals do in the secular world—only by worshipping our Qunxing Sect and offering sincere devotion, we provide them with endless food and endless luxuries."

Star Cloud Baby explained.

"Hmm. I'm aware of this."

Fang Yu's spiritual sense looked downward and sensed the devout prayers of tens of millions, coalescing into a vast spiritual force, pouring into the ancient meteorite, constantly refining it.

This was a unique method of crafting magic treasures in the Eternal Life Realm: any Dao artifact, if it could collect several million or even tens of millions of living beings to worship it, would, over time, have its power transformed by the strength of such devotion.

This was also a way of utilizing living beings.

These living beings within Qunxing Sect's Shanmen were exceedingly fortunate—they enjoyed countless delicacies and luxuries, paying only the price of constant worship; they had already achieved a life where every person was like a dragon.

Outside Qunxing Sect, ordinary people suffered terribly—they had to labor, and were often attacked by subterranean demons, the Seven Veins of the Mo Sect, or the Yaodaowu Sect; sometimes even a few heavenly demons descending from beyond the heavens could devastate countless lives.

The inhabitants of the Huang Da World fared better, for behind every kingdom and empire stood Xiandao Sect Sects; when demons invaded, disciples of the Xiandao Sect Sect would descend to train, slay demons, and purge evil. For example, after Lan Yue Kingdom suffered invasions from desert bandits and subterranean demons, Yuhua Sect disciples descended to train, and now Lan Yue Kingdom had long since restored its former prosperity.

Beyond the Huang Da World lay countless stars, each with its own living beings, whose fates were far more tragic—for instance, the inhabitants of one star were all slaughtered because a Xueyingmo Sect Elder wished to forge a Dao artifact for the Young Master.

The death of an entire star's population stemmed from someone wanting to forge a low-grade Dao artifact—this was the fate of living beings on the stars beyond the Huang Da World.

This was indeed a terrifying world.

Fang Yu gazed at the ordinary people living within Qunxing Sect's Shanmen—they truly lived well.

"Ahead lies our Qunxing Sect's central hub—the Taiji Star Palace. My father and mother both cultivate there. Let's go in together and pay our respects."

As Fang Yu pondered, Star Cloud Baby pointed to a faintly visible palace, entirely formed of stellar power.

Fang Yu did not immediately fly in; instead, he drew in Xu Yuan Qi from his chest and spoke aloud: "Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect, here to pay respects to the Zhang Sect, Rourou Xianzun of Qunxing Sect."

Fang Yu's voice rang out with immense force; around him, air currents within a thousand li rubbed together, coalescing into various wind beasts, and the terrifying sound waves spread endlessly outward.

His declaration ensured that everyone in Qunxing Sect would hear it.

His current cultivation base had reached the terrifying level of thirty million—such power was beyond even some 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heaven-Defying cultivators.

Some 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heaven-Defying cultivators possessed only eight to ten million magic power—nowhere near Fang Yu's strength.

Now, with this single exhalation, everyone could hear him.

He wasn't worried that the Star Lord, the supreme leader of Qunxing Sect, would refuse to see him—after all, Star Cloud Baby was right beside him, having been nurtured by him.

If he went to some other Men Sect, like Liantaiyi Sect, and shouted loudly that Fang Yu had come to pay respects to Liantaiyi Sect's Zhang Sect, Taihuntian, it would be a joke.

At the very moment Fang Yu exhaled and voiced his call, the sound waves spreading out, deep within this ancient meteorite, in a magnificent mountain palace blooming with flowers, a millennia-old Jin Dan minor titan seated upon a Golden Wang Zuo suddenly sensed something, then heard a vast spiritual fluctuation arriving from afar.

This voice remained solid and unscattered, still audible to every person after traveling so far.

"Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect… Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect…"

"Seventh Senior Brother, the person arriving beside Star Cloud Baby is Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect—how could he possess such immense power?"

Beneath the Golden Wang Zuo stood several True Disciples, and below them, one Outer Disciple—indeed, the very gatekeeper Fang Yu had met earlier.

This Outer Disciple was clearly under the "Seventh Senior Brother," having just reported Star Cloud Baby's arrival to him, and then they all heard Fang Yu's voice.

"Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect! Seventh Senior Brother, this man cannot be underestimated—he was unremarkable before, but in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, he defeated six Heavenly Man Realm experts of Liantaiyi Sect, all of whom were famed for centuries. Worse still, even Zhao Xuanyi, Liantaiyi Sect's Jin Dan expert, was no match for Fang Yu—and at that time, Fang Yu had not yet reached the Golden Core Realm!"

A powerful figure beside the "Seventh Senior Brother" cried out.

"Fang Yu is indeed a troublesome man—I've heard of his reputation. Star Cloud Baby actually knows him…"

The "Seventh Senior Brother," a millennia-old Jin Dan minor titan atop the Golden Wang Zuo, his expression twisted sharply. "His arrival now clearly means he's determined to support Star Cloud Baby. Let's go!"

"Where to?"

"To meet the other Senior Brothers. With his arrival, matters have become urgent—Fang Yu will surely stir up a storm within Qunxing Sect."

The Seventh Senior Brother vanished instantly.

He knew Fang Yu's strength—he could defeat a Liantaiyi Sect Jin Dan expert, so he naturally couldn't confront him directly—but among Qunxing Sect's True Disciples, there were countless powerful figures, surely someone who could stand against Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's arrival was clearly meant to support Star Cloud Baby as Zhang Sect.

That meant standing directly against all of Qunxing Sect's True Disciples—he must be crushed severely, so Yuhua Sect's True Disciple wouldn't dare speak boldly within Qunxing Sect.

At that moment, within the Taiji Star Palace, a star bridge a thousand li long stretched down from the palace, directly beneath Fang Yu, Fang Han, and Star Cloud Baby.

"My two nephews, no need for formalities—please come."

From within the Taiji Star Palace came a voice, deep and resonant—the voice of a Longevity Secret Realm eternal titan, unfathomable in depth.

Hearing the other call him "nephew," Fang Yu knew his suspicions were correct—the supreme leader of Qunxing Sect would indeed meet him.

He took a single step and arrived with Fang Han and Star Cloud Baby inside a cave dwelling.

Inside the cave dwelling, it was empty, filled only with void, no furnishings—there sat a middle-aged man clad in star-patterned robes, meditating in midair, smiling at Fang Yu.

"Father."

Star Cloud Baby, seeing the middle-aged man, spoke lazily and walked over.

This alone was enough to reveal the identity of the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was none other than the supreme leader of Qunxing Sect, one of the Xiandaoshi Sects—a dominant eternal titan.
