Chapter 601

"How is this possible? Your cultivation base has reached this level?"

After exchanging a few blows with Fang Yu, Yan Yan Shuiyi, the first true disciple of Rantaiyi Sect, sensed his strength and her misty, water-like face revealed an expression of shock and disbelief.

"It seems we have all underestimated you—you've cultivated to this level in just a few years?"

Yan Yan Shuiyi's eyes scanned Fang Yu up and down, as if trying to uncover his secrets.

She knew a little about Fang Yu; in her mind, he had merely been a disciple who rose suddenly, a noteworthy figure in Yuhua Sect. But recently, rumors had spread through Yuhua Sect that Fang Yu had gained great fame—not only had he defeated the peerless genius Little Immortal Meng Shaobai, but he was also revered by many disciples as Senior Brother.

In past years, the Senior Brother of Yuhua Sect had always been Hua Tiandu.

These rumors had stirred a slight interest in Fang Yu for Yan Yan Shuiyi, and after this brief combat today, she discovered that this man named Fang Yu's true strength was no less than hers—and even faintly surpassed hers.

How could this be?

She was the reincarnation of the Water Deity, had cultivated for centuries in the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, and her magic power and cultivation were nearly invincible within the Divine Abilities realm.

Why could Fang Yu's strength now rival hers? How long had he cultivated?

"Yan Yan Shuiyi, what do you think of my strength?"

After instantly defeating Yan Yan Shuiyi, Fang Yu smiled faintly.

"I never imagined—truly never imagined—that Yuhua Sect would produce a genius like you. How did you cultivate? How long have you been cultivating? I fear your strength may already surpass Hua Tiandu."

Yan Yan Shuiyi stepped forward, radiating waves of misty, watery energy.

"Not just fear—it's certain. I will inevitably face Hua Tiandu one day. Of course, this has nothing to do with you, Yan Yan Shuiyi. Though Rantaiyi Sect has proposed a marriage alliance between you and Hua Tiandu, from my intuition, you will never truly become his consort—you will never cultivate with him, sharing glory and disgrace."

Fang Yu smiled.

"Fang Yu, your words echo those of Fang Han. But I must say—you're absolutely right. I am myself; I won't marry some cat or dog just because of a word from our Ancestor."

Yan Yan Shuiyi nodded.

"Hah! Miss Yan Yan Shuiyi speaks plainly and directly—exactly right. Hua Tiandu is indeed a cat or dog."

Fang Han laughed triumphantly, clearly delighted to hear Hua Tiandu called a cat or dog from the lips of his so-called "fiancée."

"Fang Han, younger brother, what did you trade with Miss Yan Yan Shuiyi for the Great Primordial Technique?"

At that moment, Fang Qingxue spoke.

"Sister, I traded with Miss Yan Yan Shuiyi the Great Five Elements Technique and a vial of Huang Quan Sacred Water. This is the complete Great Primordial Technique."

As Fang Han spoke, a stream of profound, mysterious thoughts directly transmitted to Fang Yu and Fang Qingxue.

Fang Yu immediately received those mysterious thoughts; after a brief contemplation, he confirmed the technique was genuine—its cultivation methods perfectly aligned with his own.

That meant, from now on, Fang Yu possessed the complete Great Primordial Technique—not a fragmented version anymore.

He could now use the complete Great Primordial Technique to prepare for stepping into the Longevity Secret Realm; without the full technique, it was nearly impossible to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm.

Having obtained the complete Great Primordial Technique, Fang Yu ignored Yan Yan Shuiyi entirely and sat right there, beginning to cultivate.

Boom—

Countless devotional energies surged into his mind without restraint, following the Great Primordial Technique's method to open the final two spiritual spaces for storing magic power.

The mind-sea is a spiritual space for storing magic power; Fang Yu had previously used the incomplete Great Primordial Technique to open seven mind-seas, storing nearly one Ancient Celestial Dragon's worth of magic power—this was why he could suppress Meng Shaobai with a casual strike.

As for fighting Yan Yan Shuiyi just now, Fang Yu had also used the power of the Hand of Plucking Stars, a legacy from the Manghuang Era that inherited the strength of the Primordial Demon God San Shou Dao Ren—his magic power exceeded one hundred million, so a single strike left Yan Yan Shuiyi unable to resist.

Crack… crack…

As Fang Yu cultivated, his mind-sea underwent another earth-shaking transformation; as the Great Primordial Technique flowed, nine talisman seeds emerged within his mind.

Each talisman seed represented a primordial force that had existed since the dawn of creation.

"Nine mind-seas, opening heaven and earth, nine returns to one, cultivation complete."

After these nine talisman seeds coalesced, under immense devotional energy, they suddenly shattered—like primordial deities splitting heaven and earth. In the instant Fang Yu's nine mind-seas fully formed, each one expanded again.

Nine mind-seas, endlessly renewing, expanded at an unimaginable speed—each one doubling in size compared to before.

This was a monumental change.

Fang Yu's mind-seas had already been vast from cultivating the incomplete Great Primordial Technique, but the moment the nine mind-seas formed under the complete technique, they began expanding again.

Each mind-sea was now larger than before, and Fang Yu's one hundred million Yellow Emperor Horses' strength flowed freely within them.
