Chapter 676: Willow God: How Did Your Cultivation Advance So Fast!

Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities, defying heaven and altering fate.

Fang Yu broke through to the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities, the final Secret Realm of the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

That means from now on, purely in terms of realm, Fang Yu stands among the very top of Yuhua Sect's true disciples—he achieved this Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities, defying heaven and altering fate, from the Physical Body Secret Realm in less than two years, catching up to Hua Tiandu's realm.

His realm, placed within the entire Xuan Huang Yellow Great World, ranks among the absolute highest—Taiyi Sect's first true disciple Yan Shuiyi is also at the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities; Qunxing Sect's first true disciple Xing Mie Xie is also at the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities.

Now Fang Yu has fully caught up in realm—even within Kanlishen Sect, it's the same; the chief disciple of Tianzun Peak, Gu Dao, is also at the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities, defying heaven and altering fate.

Next, he must do everything possible to reach the Longevity Secret Realm.

For most Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities cultivators, this is an immensely difficult task—Hua Tiandu, Yan Shuiyi, and others have cultivated at the Tenth Stage for hundreds of years and still have not reached the Longevity Secret Realm, showing just how difficult this realm is.

Fang Yu does not now expect to reach the Longevity Secret Realm directly in the Perfect World, since the Perfect World lacks even a Immortal Realm; it is impossible to ascend to the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities here—only by returning to the Eternal Life Realm can he possibly ascend to the Longevity Secret Realm.

Of course, he does not necessarily have to return to the Eternal Life Realm immediately, because without sufficient extraordinary encounters, even centuries of cultivation at the Tenth Stage of Divine Abilities cannot break through to the Longevity Secret Realm.

"To personally feel the passage of lifespan—this sensation is truly peculiar."

Fang Yu came back to himself, carefully perceiving—he could perceive with absolute clarity that every moment, every second, his lifespan was flowing outward.

Time flows like this, day and night unceasing.

A sense of time's relentless passage rose in his heart, easily stirring a feeling of urgency.

But Fang Yu carefully sensed his own Life Lines again—his lifespan still had nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years; even with all this time flowing away, it would be far too soon for him to perish from old age.

It was a contradictory sensation—after the final novelty, he became calm.

I am a being of nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years; just one year short of ten thousand years of longevity—cultivate when you must, eat and drink when you must, and never rush and fall into qi deviation.

Fang Yu's gaze now turned to Shi Hao nearby—this disciple had finally reached the extreme of the Transformation Spirit Realm; his body, spirit, and even Dao methods had all undergone transformation, becoming vastly different from before.

His body erupted in brilliant divine radiance, as if a great explosion had occurred—centered on him, waves of divine power surged in all directions.

On Shi Hao's body appeared one after another symbol, densely packed—this was the surface; within his body, in his flesh, organs, and even bones, similar patterns existed.

At this moment, even his eyes were filled with various symbols, as if condensing the most fundamental rules and order of heaven and earth to form his own power.

This is the fourth realm of this cultivation path: the Inscription Realm.

After entering this realm, one no longer fully relies on the runes of ferocious beasts or fierce birds; one can inscribe one's own symbols within the body.

For most cultivators entering the Inscription Realm, inscribing runes within their bones and heavenly caverns is arduous—decades of cultivation may yield no results.

This land once had peerless geniuses who advanced from the Blood Moving Realm to the Transformation Spirit Realm in only ten years, yet took over a decade to take a single step forward in the Inscription Realm, and ultimately died of old age while still trapped in the Inscription Realm.

But Shi Hao's progress was extremely rapid—he released several Pure Yang Pills, the wine granted by Shi Huang not long ago, and the fine liquor obtained in the North Sea's Kunpeng lands, causing symbols to cover his body like stars, his aura surging powerfully.

Finally, Shi Hao stabilized completely and ascended into the Inscription Realm.

"Finally ascended into the Inscription Realm."

Shi Hao opened his eyes, golden radiance shining within his gaze, his eyes extraordinarily lively.

The Inscription Realm can be divided into four stages: Initial, Middle, Late, and Perfect—now he had fully entered the Initial stage, and within the entire Imperial City, his realm was no weaker than anyone else's.

"Congratulations, Little Dot—you've successfully ascended into the Inscription Realm."

Fang Yu smiled as he saw Shi Hao's gaze piercing through his own state.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Shi Hao was also very delighted.

He did not notice that his master had also ascended a realm.

"Little Dot, now that you've ascended to the Inscription Realm, you should fight Shi Yi and reclaim what belongs to you—but we can't just wait for Shi Yi here in the Imperial City—he doesn't even deserve it. We must do our own things—for example, I still need to meet with Willow God."
