Chapter 558

If this scene were seen by the group of Primordial Spirit Daoists of the Black and White Academy, they would surely be immensely shocked, utterly unable to imagine that this newly-entered Elder Fang Yu had already cultivated to such a stage.

Fang Yu was indeed progressing.

He had obtained many fortuitous encounters in the Manghuang Ji Realm, the greatest of which naturally belonged to the Nüwa Painting and the Star-Plucking Hand, but beyond these, there was also a kind of philosophy.

That was, a cultivator could comprehend the Great Dao on their own, and comprehend their own divine abilities.

Like Ji Ning, who was constantly comprehending on his own. Although the Rain Sword Domain he comprehended was extremely crude in Fang Yu's eyes, it was after all Ji Ning's own comprehension. The Three Thousand Great Daos that Fang Yu now cultivated could be used from the Divine Ability Secret Realm all the way to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, but these belonged to others — they were spewed out from the Yongshengzhi Sect.

A cultivator must have a heart — a heart that dares to comprehend, that dares to create anew, and not merely rely on others.

This was what Fang Yu had learned.

"He's passed the fifth trial — not bad, truly not bad."

"The fifth trial, the sixth trial — for him now they shouldn't amount to much. The seventh trial's difficulty will increase greatly. Back then, my master couldn't pass the seventh trial either; only after cultivating for many more years did he finally get through. Unfortunately, it was too late — otherwise he would have long since become a Heavenly Immortal."

Outside the Battle God Palace, the yellow great bear and the black old ox were talking.

The black old ox was deeply moved. His master, Immortal Juhua, had been unable to pass the seventh trial of the Battle God Palace back then, and thus could not obtain the reward for passing it — an immortal-grade magic treasure. This had been his master's great regret back then. Of course, his master had also failed to obtain the Star-Plucking Hand from the Divine Ability Hall, which was an even greater regret.

Regret upon regret caused Immortal Juhua to ultimately fail to overcome the heavenly tribulation and achieve Heavenly Immortal; he could only survive beneath the heavenly tribulation and become a Loose Immortal.

If his master had obtained the immortal-grade magic treasure back then, and also obtained the Star-Plucking Hand, what would the heavenly tribulation have amounted to? His master would surely have been a Heavenly Immortal then.

This perhaps was fate.

The black old ox recalled the scene when Immortal Juhua created him — it was already too late by then.

Even though a Loose Immortal could possess an immortal-grade magic treasure and live for several million years, each heavenly tribulation grew more terrifying than the last, and eventually a day would come when the Loose Immortal had to die.

"Look, he's passed the sixth trial!"

Just as the black old ox was thinking of his master Immortal Juhua, the yellow great bear's face lit up with joy — clearly visible was Fang Yu within the 6th Layer passing through by absolute means.

"Now comes the seventh trial. In this trial, that Jin Jiashen's strength is comparable to a Loose Immortal!"
