Chapter 498

On Yufeng Peak, Fang Yu was in a good mood.

After his promotion to the Golden Core Realm this time, the Zhang Sect granted him a reward and had him reforge the Li Huo Divine Furnace—resulting in the direct recreation of its artifact spirit.

That means, even if he returns to the Shrouding Heaven Realm, the Jiang family will never again receive any response from the Li Huo Divine Furnace's artifact spirit.

This High-Grade artifact truly and fully belonged to him now.

This feeling was simply excellent.

What kind of treasure is a High-Grade artifact? Most Longevity Secret Realm experts could never obtain one—but after just one trip to the Shrouding Heaven Realm, he acquired a High-Grade artifact.

This High-Grade artifact was essentially exchanged for a young Ancient Heavenly Dragon.

In the Eternal Life Realm, exchanging a young Ancient Heavenly Dragon for a High-Grade artifact is a guaranteed profit.

The price of a young Ancient Heavenly Dragon cub is roughly equal to that of a Kunpeng egg—fifty million White Yang Elixirs—but a High-Grade artifact, even fifty billion or one hundred billion White Yang Elixirs, could never buy it.

Fang Yu's transaction was an enormous windfall.

At this moment, Fang Yu waved his hand and pulled out three translucent, talisman-like cards.

The three translucent cards were colored red, green, and blue; the red card bore the two large characters "Heavenly Dao," the green card bore "Liudao," and the blue card bore "Jiuding."

These were unmistakably the elixir-storage cards of the Three Great Societies: "Heavenly Dao Pavilion," "Liudao Alliance," and "Jiuding Pavilion."

These three cards were obtained by Fang Yu after slaying the Six Divine Lords; each card shimmered with a massive "hundred million" character.

That meant, after slaying the Six Divine Lords, Fang Yu gained three hundred million White Yang Elixirs.

The wealth of these Six Divine Lords was evident—even the true disciples of Yuhua Sect, Golden Core experts like Jialan and Lingxiao, did not possess this much elixir; combined, the Six Divine Lords' wealth surpassed that of all Yuhua Sect's Golden Core experts.

This small group of Six Divine Lords roamed everywhere, stoking unrest, buying loyalty, and stirring chaos among the Immortal and Demon paths—their operational budget was precisely three hundred million elixirs.

The extravagance of the Divine Clan was plain to see.

Now that Fang Yu's Li Huo Divine Furnace was fully perfected, he decided to venture out and slay several Divine Clan Divine Kings to acquire another massive fortune.

But before leaving, Fang Yu summoned Fang Cheng and Fang Dong, two Fang family disciples at the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Transformation Realm.

"Greetings, Elder Brother Yu!"

Both Fang Cheng and Fang Dong wore expressions of anticipation; though they did not know what their Elder Brother Yu intended, they sensed it would not be bad.

Indeed, as soon as Fang Yu spoke, they burst into ecstatic joy.

"Fang Cheng, Fang Dong, your cultivation bases have already reached the peak of the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Divine Transformation Realm. I have here two Heaven-grade elixirs—the Seven Return Fire Spirit Pills. I believe that after consuming them, you have a high probability of entering the Divine Ability Secret Realm. This will not only increase our Fang family's number of Divine Ability Secret Realm experts by two, but also add two true disciples to Yuhua Sect. Once you become true disciples, you may travel abroad and seek out opportunities."

As Fang Yu spoke, he bestowed the two Seven Return Fire Spirit Pills.

The Six Divine Lords originally possessed three Seven Return Fire Spirit Pills—they had intended to cultivate three of their own servants into spies—but now that Fang Yu had slain them and seized these three elixirs, it was only natural he would use them to cultivate core Fang family disciples.

"Ah, thank you, Elder Brother Yu! We will cultivate diligently and break into the Divine Ability Secret Realm to bring glory to you!"

"Thank you, Elder Brother Yu! Once I, Fang Cheng, enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm, I will strive even harder to ease your burdens!"

Both Fang Cheng and Fang Dong were overjoyed, eager to repay their Elder Brother Yu's generosity with immediate action.

Heaven-grade elixirs.

What did that even mean?

Each one was a priceless treasure, possessing countless unimaginable functions. For instance, a Heaven-grade elixir from Yuhua Sect could extend a cultivator's lifespan by six hundred years. If such an elixir were to emerge from a hidden cavern, countless cultivators would fight to the death for it.

Yet now their Elder Brother Yu had bestowed such Heaven-grade elixirs upon them—this was an unimaginable favor.

Instantly, both expressed unwavering loyalty.

"Enough. You are both Fang family disciples—I naturally must nurture you. I am also curious what kind of celestial opportunities you might find once you reach the Divine Ability Secret Realm."

Fang Yu smiled.

Everyone has a future, but most people's futures will never reach the Divine Ability Secret Realm before they die of old age—yet treasures like Heaven-grade elixirs can alter a person's future and bring them fortune.

These two elixirs alone are enough to change the fate and fortune of these two Fang family disciples.

"Thank you, Elder Brother Yu!"

The two expressed their gratitude once more.

"Cultivate well. When I return, I look forward to hearing you have reached the Divine Ability Secret Realm."

Fang Yu soared upward and vanished instantly from the void.

He set out directly, heading toward the capital of the Great Xuan Empire: Xuan Huang City.

As he flew over countless nations, rivers, mountains, plains, and forests, Fang Yu also saw the prosperous territories of the Great Xuan Empire—everywhere were towering skyscrapers and magnificent splendor.

The deeper he ventured into the heart of the Great Xuan Empire, the more he felt its grandeur; especially within its innermost cities, one city stretched continuously for ten thousand li—or even a hundred thousand li.

Who could imagine a city stretching a hundred thousand li in length and width? Was this even a city?

A city fifty thousand kilometers long and fifty thousand kilometers wide—this was an unimaginable scale; a single city dwarfed an entire nation.
