Chapter 542

Many men and women wore expressions of joy, clearly regarding Huosheng as their family's pride and solid backing.

Especially since Huosheng joined the Black-White Academy, barring unforeseen circumstances, he would at least attain the rank of Earth Immortal within a hundred or thousand years, capable of protecting his family for tens of thousands of years—even hundreds of thousands—thus holding an extremely exalted status.

"Elder, wait here for a moment; I shall go see Laozu and report this matter."

Daoist Huosheng greeted people along the way, conversing with Fang Yu; after arriving in the city, he intended to pay a visit to Laozu first.

Fang Yu nodded and let Huosheng go.

He was not worried Huosheng would fail, for the strength he had displayed would surely earn the respect of Huosheng's family, especially since he had comprehended the Void Dao—once known, no one would fail to revere him.

The Void Dao is truly the supreme Dao of assassination and destruction.

Any family would dread provoking an entity that appears and vanishes without trace; their entire lineage would never again dare to aspire to growth.

Thus, while Fang Yu waited in the Noble Guest Mansion, Laozu of the Huosheng family personally emerged to meet him, speaking with great courtesy.

He then ordered servants to bring forth the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu and invited Fang Yu to stay several more days to guide the family's unruly younger generations.

Fang Yu naturally nodded in agreement.

With his divine powers, he needed no personal instruction; his Daoist Gang Qi flowed out, forming countless human figures endowed with wisdom, capable of guiding these disciples—this further awed Laozu of the Huosheng family, filling him with deep admiration.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu himself sought out a secluded place within the Huosheng family's domain to cultivate his Second Primordial Spirit.

He possessed too many divine arts, requiring a Second Primordial Spirit to master them.

In one location, Fang Yu directly split off a portion of his soul, letting it descend into the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu.

The instant his soul portion entered the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu, Fang Yu felt as if a drifting boat had found its harbor—a profound sense of peace flooded his soul.

He then activated the Great Origin Technique to restore his two soul portions.

The Great Origin Technique of the Three Thousand Dao Paths was indeed extraordinarily mysterious, containing countless Xiulianfa Sects; as Fang Yu activated it now, he sensed his soul recovering.

After five full days of restoration, he finally felt nearly whole, and so his soul portion began cultivating within the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu.

The Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu was excellent—one of the finest vessels for the soul.

As Fang Yu's Second Primordial Spirit cultivated within the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu, he felt it truly functioned as his second body, perfectly aligned with his cultivation.

In this world, some cultivators whose Purple Palace was damaged resorted to possession, seizing other bodies—but such possession often carried a grave flaw: the soul and body's compatibility was abysmal; even after possession, they could never reach high realms.

But celestial treasures like the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu were perfect vessels, for they had never housed a soul; thus, any soul entering achieved perfect compatibility, and since the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu was itself a celestial treasure, it equated to a body of extraordinarily high innate talent.

By using the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu to cultivate his Second Primordial Spirit, Fang Yu could effortlessly comprehend the Fire Dao.

Of course, he already possessed the Fire Dao—this vessel merely added brilliance to brilliance.

Within the Huosheng family's city, Fang Yu began cultivation immediately; he now had some Yuan Ye and directly used the local specialty of the Manghuangji world to cultivate his Second Primordial Spirit.

Boom!

Inside the Yi Qi Huo Yuan Zhu, as if splitting heaven and earth, a Purple Palace space was born; vast amounts of Yuan Ye were continuously converted, and the Lake of the Purple Palace rapidly expanded.

The Purple Palace realm was not hard to attain, yet not easy either—the key was to obtain a cultivation scripture, then absorb Yuan Ye to open the Purple Palace space.

The larger the Purple Palace space opened, the stronger one's cultivation base would be upon breaking through the realm; whether one could open a vast space depended on two factors: the body's strength and the cultivation scripture used.

A strong body, cultivated through both body refinement and Qi Refining, might mutually enhance each other, resulting in a larger Purple Palace space.

Of course, the better the cultivation scripture, the larger the Purple Palace space one could open.

A poor scripture would produce a weak foundation for the Lake of the Purple Palace; once reaching the Purple Palace realm, one's progress would end.

Only by cultivating Immortal-grade scriptures could one open a far more powerful Purple Palace space.

Fang Yu now possessed an Immortal-grade scripture, obtained from the Black-White Academy; at this moment, he activated a Fire Immortal-grade Lianqifa Sect to cultivate his Second Primordial Spirit.

Yuan Ye was refined, and the Lake of Purple Palace energy accumulated.

This was the process of refining Yuan Ye.

In worlds like Manghuangji, though mental cultivation methods existed, most cultivation still relied on material substances.

Material cultivation was by far the most common.

After vast quantities of Yuan Ye were refined, a Lake of Purple Palace energy formed within the space; its surface remained calm, yet the deeper waters churned wildly, growing purer with each rotation, deepening the Lake of the Purple Palace further.

Fang Yu's original body observed the Second Primordial Spirit's cultivation and found it intriguing—it bore slight resemblance to the Great Origin Technique; cultivating the Great Origin Technique opened nine brain seas, while cultivating an Immortal-grade Lianqifa Sect expanded the Lake of the Purple Palace, granting greater power.

Yet even Immortal-grade Lianqifa Sects only deepened within a single Purple Palace, whereas the Great Origin Technique opened nine brain seas—far surpassing the enhancement of Immortal-grade methods.

Above Immortal-grade Lianqifa Sects, it was said, existed Pure Yang Lianqifa Sects—but Fang Yu had not obtained any, nor did the Black-White Academy possess them.

This was no issue.

Fang Yu watched as the source of his energy lake sank deeper and deeper; each level descended represented one step forward in the Purple Palace realm.

From Early Purple Palace, to Mid Purple Palace, to Late Purple Palace, then to Purple Palace Great Perfection.

For other cultivators, this process might take centuries—or even a lifetime—but for Fang Yu, it took only days.

After several days, Fang Yu's Second Primordial Spirit reached Purple Palace Great Perfection.

The Lake of the Purple Palace could no longer grow.

This Lake of the Purple Palace was the very foundation of all cultivation.

Next came breaking through to the next realm: the Ten Thousand Phenomena True Person realm.

The Ten Thousand Phenomena True Person realm required the cultivation of a Dharma Form.

In this world, Dharma Forms were divided into several tiers.

The first was cultivating a Star Dharma Form—the weakest.

If one could cultivate a Moon Dharma Form, it was slightly superior.

But the Sun-Moon Dharma Form was the pinnacle.

When a Dharma Form reached Great Perfection, it would manifest a Moon Rabbit or Jin Wu, signifying perfect foundation.

This was recorded in the Black-White Academy, and such was the advantage of sects—ancestors' experience guided the next generation.

Star, Moon, Jin Wu.

If all three phenomena manifested, it signified the supreme Dharma Form.

"Just three Dharma Aspect cultivation methods…"
