Chapter 602

Now, Fang Yu's hundred million Xuanhuang Fierce Steeds of power flowed with great agility through his nine brain seas, utterly unlike its initial state; though he had cultivated a hundred million Xuanhuang Fierce Steeds of magic power, it had once been extremely cramped within his mind.

Now it was different.

Fang Yu felt that if he struck again, he could unleash fifty full strikes of One Ancient Celestial Dragon's power within a thousandth of a blink!

Of course, this required an immense, immense amount of Pure Yang energy.

If he truly unleashed One Ancient Celestial Dragon's power fifty times, Fang Yu would be left penniless.

Yet this time, after the Great Origin Technique fully took shape, Fang Yu's Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation underwent numerous transformations; merely sitting in place, he radiated an overwhelmingly fierce aura, causing everyone to sense the solemnity unique to Longevity Secret Realm experts.

Yan Yan Shuiyi had watched silently all along, until she saw Fang Yu perfect his divine art and unleash an aura only a Myriad-Era Tyrant could possess—her expression subtly shifted.

"I now somewhat regret exchanging the Great Origin Technique with Fang Han; it seems Yuhua Sect will instantly have three individuals elevate their divine arts to their peak thanks to this Great Origin Technique, becoming great enemies of Mentaiyi Sect."

Yan Yan Shuiyi said.

"Why speak so, Yan Yan Shuiyi? You are the true winner of this exchange. Think: you sat idly at home, first receiving the Great Origin Technique to boost your magic power, then Fang Han's younger brother delivered the Great Five Elements Technique to help you complete your Five Elements cultivation—you did nothing at all, yet now possess two of the Three Thousand Great Dao, and such powerful ones at that; you gained absolutely nothing but advantage."

Fang Yu stood up and spoke.

"Indeed. We may have gained an advantage, but Yan Yan Shuiyi, you gained nothing but benefit."

A powerful aura erupted from Fang Qingxue's body—she had also successfully cultivated the complete Great Origin Technique to perfection, unleashing a terrifying presence.

"That's not untrue."

Yan Yan Shuiyi smiled, as if acknowledging the logic.

The squabbles among Yuhua Sect disciples had led her to acquire both the Great Origin Technique and the Great Five Elements Technique; she was growing ever fonder of Yuhua Sect disciples fighting among themselves.

"Yet… I'm still curious: how did you, Fang Yu, reach such a terrifying realm within just one or two years? And your physical body seems extraordinarily strong—I'm deeply interested in your physical cultivation method."

Yan Yan Shuiyi said.

"My rise is a secret, one tied to the Forty Thieves—and more precisely, to the terrifying power behind them."

Hearing Yan Yan Shuiyi ask this, Fang Yu's expression turned mysterious. "Surely Mentaiyi Sect has sensed the unrest at sea these days. The Forty Thieves have a powerful force behind them."

"A powerful force behind them?"

Yan Yan Shuiyi's expression shifted; she had assumed Fang Yu would never reveal the secret of his rise, for a cultivator's greatest secret was never lightly disclosed—yet he had mentioned the Forty Thieves.

"I won't hide it from Fang Yu: among the Forty Thieves, I know one—Qitian Dao, the top-ranked thief, Fan Fan Qingying. She is my close childhood friend."

"The Forty Thieves' top-ranked thief, Qitian Dao—she's your close childhood friend?"

Fang Han, hearing this, froze.

That these two were friends was hard to imagine: one was the top true disciple of the Xiandaoshi Sect's Diyimen Sect, the other the infamous top thief of the Forty Thieves—and yet they were close childhood friends. No wonder Mentaiyi Sect had failed utterly to eradicate the Forty Thieves over past ages.

If the top thief and the top senior sister were close childhood friends, eradicating the Forty Thieves would be impossible.

This was simply too unimaginable.

Yet Fang Han recalled that now the top true disciple of Mentaiyi Sect had exchanged Dao arts with several true disciples of Yuhua Sect, and so he no longer found it surprising.

In this world, given sufficient benefit, anything can unite.

"Oh? Yan Yan Shuiyi, you know Qitian Dao, the top thief of the Forty Thieves? If the secret to my rapid power growth lies with her, would you take me to her?"

Fang Yu smiled as he listened to Yan Yan Shuiyi's words.

"Not… impossible."
