Chapter 595: Divine Abilities Ninth Stage, Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation!

Fang Yu didn't feel the least regret at bestowing so many sets of top-grade treasure weapons at once.

When he had first entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he would never have been so generous—he himself had barely owned a few treasures back then.

Now, even top-grade treasure weapons held little use for Fang Yu; he preferred mid-grade and top-grade dao weapons.

The mid-grade dao weapon, Sky-Piercing Divine Spear, was very effective; the top-grade dao weapon, Li Huo Divine Furnace, was also a fine treasure; as for the Chaos Tower, the treasure Fang Yu had just acquired, he hadn't used it much yet—only to suppress the Sun-Moon Essence Wheel.

The Chaos Tower required immense Xu Yuan Qi to activate; though Fang Yu was now wealthy enough to treat magic treasures as trivial, his magic power was not infinite, nor were his Pure Yang Pills or Nascent Soul Pills.

If he could avoid spending Pure Yang Pills in battle, he would.

His current strength was sufficient to suppress many cultivators below the Longevity Secret Realm.

After bestowing many favors upon the Shanhe List disciples, those disciples each withdrew to cultivate.

As for Fang Yu, he continued his cultivation.

The transition from 8th Stage of Divine Abilities to 9th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation—wasn't difficult, but it required vast time and countless Pure Yang Xu Yuan Qi to shatter the Golden Core and hatch the Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation from within.

So Fang Yu continued cultivating atop Yufeng.

Fang Yu cultivated atop Yufeng; Fang Qingxue cultivated atop Yufeng; even Fang Han, with no desire to travel during this snow-covered season, stayed quietly and steadily cultivating on Yufeng.

Yufeng was vast; one more person made no difference.

Everyone was cultivating—including Fang Yu's low-grade dao weapon spirit, top-grade dao weapon spirit, and the spirits of the Water-Fire Primordial Staff from the Manghuang Ji Realm and the Chaos Tower.

"Who'd have thought that after all these years, Old Monkey would stop fighting and start cultivating the Method of Liberation?"

The spirit of the Water-Fire Primordial Staff was still baffled—he was now cultivating a great Dao called the Great Universal Salvation Technique, and he felt it was utterly bizarre.

What was he? He was the spirit of the Water-Fire Primordial Staff, once wielded by a descendant of the Chaos Ape, born brimming with battle intent—yet now he was forced to cultivate the Great Universal Salvation Technique to subdue those damned Sun-Moon Essence Wheels?

It would be better to just smash them with a single strike.

That would be true liberation.

"Don't talk nonsense—just cultivate."

The spirit of the Chaos Tower never changed expression—he was neither male nor female, neither old nor young, and had no face at all; if one looked, one would see no nose, no mouth, no ears—but he could still speak.

This spirit remained eternally still as a mountain, but after cultivating the Great Universal Salvation Technique, rings of Buddhist light now appeared on his body, settling upon a talisman.

That talisman was the Five Elements Land talisman, a treasure of great weight.

This talisman now rested atop the body of the low-grade dao weapon, Xuantian Zhenmo Tower; its spirit emitted waves of light, using the Great Universal Salvation Technique to refine the Five Elements Land spirit talisman.

All these dao weapon spirits were now cultivating, refining the Five Elements spirit talisman with their own hearts.

No one knew the mystery of the Five Elements Land spirit talisman better than Fang Yu; he never abandoned refining it—refining this talisman was among his foremost tasks as a magic treasure.

Hummm.

Several days after these magic treasure spirits began refining the Five Elements Land talisman, Fang Yu's consciousness stirred—a vast magic power seeped into the Five Elements Land talisman; then, deep in the starry void, atop a mountain on the Five Elements Land planet, a massive green dragon formed from countless green wood energies suddenly sensed danger, lifted its head—and the next instant, a giant hand appeared in the void, seized it, sealed it, and dragged it back.

"Good!"

As Fang Yu's consciousness flowed, a green dragon emerged from the Five Elements Land talisman atop Yufeng.

This green dragon's strength rivaled that of a Wind-Fire Great Calamity expert, possessing at least eight million Xuan Huang Horse-Power of magic power; unlike a true Wind-Fire Great Calamity expert, it could only wield wood-element Divine Abilities, making it utterly suppressed by Fang Yu's Great Five Elements Art, easily sealed and brought over by the Great Five Elements Seal.

"Excellent! This green dragon sacred beast could fetch two billion White Yang Pills if sold!"

Fang Yu was delighted to see the green dragon—not because he'd captured a sacred beast, but because the Five Elements spirit talisman had truly unlocked a new function through continuous refinement.

Originally, Fang Yu could have traveled to the Five Elements Land through the spirit talisman to capture sacred beasts there and sell them—but the journey carried risks.

The Five Elements Land talisman opened a space-time passage from the Xuan Huang Great World to the Five Elements Land, a passage seemingly accessible only to Fang Yu; yet if a true expert struck at this distant space-time passage, they might directly endanger Fang Yu within it—his passage could be shattered, and he could perish inside.

According to Fang Yu's knowledge, only two experts in the Xuan Huang Great World could launch long-range attacks on others' space-time passages: Exalted Linglong of the Linglong Blessing, and Taiyi Sect's peerless expert, Tai Huang Tian—the latter, having reached Longevity Tenth Realm, could destroy Fang Yu's Five Elements passage with devastating consequences.

That was why, last time Fang Yu returned from the Five Elements Land, he had taken many sacred beasts with him and avoided returning regularly to capture Five Elements divine beasts—opening a space-time passage still carried risk.

But now, having refined the Five Elements spirit talisman to this degree with the Great Universal Salvation Technique, Fang Yu could capture sacred beasts from the Five Elements Land without ever going there—his safety was now greatly assured!

This was excellent!

"Brother Yu just captured a green dragon?"

While Fang Yu cultivated, Fang Qingxue was also cultivating, on the verge of breaking into the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation—when she sensed chaotic Xu Yuan Qi in the distance and suddenly saw a green dragon appear; her face showed astonishment.

Green dragon!

It was the Eastern Sacred Beast, representing mastery over wood-element.

In the Xuan Huang Great World, such sacred beasts were nearly extinct; to be born, they required extraordinarily dense wood energy and tens of thousands of years of transformation.

Even the legendary Green Dragon Wood—said to have absorbed green dragon essence—could sell for over one hundred million White Yang Pills at major auctions in the Da Xuan Empire.

A single piece of Green Dragon Wood could suffice to perfect a wood-element Divine Ability.

And now, right before her eyes, a green dragon appeared!

But what stunned Fang Qingxue was yet to come: shortly after the green dragon's appearance, space around Fang Yu rippled, revealing other sacred beasts.

Western Bai Hu.

Southern Zhu Que.

Northern Xuan Wu.

Central Teng She.

All famed sacred beasts—now captured and sealed by Fang Yu as easily as catching fish.

In an instant, five sacred beasts filled the vast Yufeng.

Eastern Qing Long, Western Bai Hu, Southern Zhu Que, Northern Xuan Wu, Central Teng She.

Each sacred beast was priceless.

"Big Brother Yu had such a miraculous encounter?!"

Not far from where Fang Yu cultivated on Yufeng, West Jialan was also cultivating.

She was at the peak of 7th Stage of Divine Abilities—Golden Core Realm—and had gained many advantages recently, growing increasingly confident in overcoming the Wind-Fire Great Calamity—when she saw space near Fang Yu ripple, one sacred beast after another appearing.

Each sacred beast was far stronger than her magic power; West Jialan even felt that if the Bai Hu were truly unleashed and used its Instant Kill Art, she might not survive its strike.

But this White Tiger sacred beast was as docile as a little lamb before Brother Fang Yu.

"No wonder Senior Brother has countless wealth—selling just one of these sacred beasts could easily earn him billions of White Yang Pills."

West Jialan suddenly remembered that not long ago, at the Grand Xuan Empire's auction, the Immortal Maidens of Exalted Linglong had auctioned off Xuanwu and Zhu Que; now it seemed their backer was also Senior Brother Fang Yu?

"Does he have many connections with the Immortal Maidens of Exalted Linglong?"

West Jialan pondered, thoughts rising in his mind.

"I wonder what profound art Senior Brother is cultivating—such a powerful aura!"

Outside the palace where Fang Yu cultivated, disciples in other palaces seemed to sense the arrival of immense auras—so terrifying that in an instant, their Five Elements Daoist Gang Qi flowed unevenly.

Indeed, though they did not know what profound art Senior Brother was cultivating, the peak of Feather Mountain emitted a tremendous suppression—an suppression over the Five Elements divine arts.

This was simply unbelievable.

Within the palace, five more Five Elements sacred beasts were seized by Fang Yu.

Five Elements sacred beasts, if placed in other worlds, would surely hold exalted status—like in the Shrouding Heaven World, if Fang Yu brought even one Azure Dragon, the lords of every holy sect would be envious beyond measure.

Last time, Fang Yu brought a single Ancient Celestial Dragon egg; even Jiang Shenwang, of the Jiang Clan, was utterly stunned.

But in the Eternal Life Realm, even an Ancient Celestial Dragon egg is not uncommon—many ruins hold them; it merely depends on one's fortune.

Likewise, in the Perfect World, humanity is weak, the myriad races are strong, strange clans like spiders and ants hold high status, and the White Tigers atop West Ling Beast Mountain are especially revered; human cultivators deeply fear such forces as West Ling Beast Mountain.

But in the Eternal Life Realm, White Tigers like these are merely tools Fang Yu uses to cultivate his divine arts.

Yet now, these five Five Elements sacred beasts were given by Fang Yu to Fang Qingxue.

"Senior Sister Qingxue, with these five sacred beasts—each comparable to Wind-Fire Tribulation or even the Heavenly Manifestation—to aid us, our progress to the Heavenly Manifestation will accelerate greatly."

Fang Yu spoke, sending the five Five Elements sacred beasts over.

"Thank you, Younger Brother Fang—I truly need this Xu Yuan Qi. I'll accept them."

Fang Qingxue looked at Fang Yu and nodded.
