Chapter 72: Reencountering Fang Qingxue

Fang Yu felt the results of his recent cultivation.

Nine Xuan Yellow Thunder Horse strength.

This power had already surpassed the typical strength of a 10th Stage of Physical Body Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

A typical 10th Stage of Physical Body cultivator might only reach five Xuan Yellow Thunder Horse strength; advancing from the 5th Stage of Physical Body Realm of Divine Power to the 10th Stage of Physical Body, accumulating four more Xuan Yellow Thunder Horse strength was already rare.

But Fang Yu, having obtained the Shrouding Heaven Realm's divine herb and divine spring, had already reached nine Xuan Yellow Thunder Horse strength at the 9th Stage of Physical Body.

With this power, plus the magic treasure he acquired in the Shrouding Heaven Realm, he was fully capable of killing opponents of higher realms.

Fang Yu prepared to go to Zidian Peak.

He intended to travel to Lan Yue Country and the Hanhai Desert to slay demons and beasts, enhance his strength, and earn the qualification to participate in the Inner Sect examination.

His current strength was fully qualified to become an Inner Sect disciple; staying any longer among the Outer Sect disciples was meaningless—he learned nothing.

So Fang Yu stepped forward and walked toward Zidian Peak.

When he came for the examination, he rode a celestial crane; now, Fang Yu was walking to Zidian Peak—if not for his extreme speed, reaching Zidian Peak on foot might have taken ages.

At his 9th Stage of Physical Body speed, he arrived at Zidian Peak in half an hour.

"Isn't this Young Master Yu? Young Master Yu has returned!"

"Hail Young Master Yu! Congratulations on becoming an Outer Sect disciple of Yuhuaxian Sect!"

All disciples and servants of the Fang family on Zidian Peak showed respectful expressions and immediately bowed as Fang Yu arrived.

They also knew this Fang family Young Master had successfully passed the Yuhuaxian Sect Outer Sect disciple examination and become an Outer Sect disciple of Yuhuaxian Sect. With the Young Lady's help, his eventual breakthrough to Inner Sect disciple was virtually guaranteed.

If this Young Master further broke through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he would become a figure like a god, his status greatly elevated—even returning to the Da Li Dynasty, he would be granted the title of Prince by the imperial family.

Of course, if this Young Master broke through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he would also have his own True Transmission peak within Yuhuaxian Sect, just like the Young Lady; then countless servants would flock to Young Master Fang's peak to gain great benefits.

So all disciples and servants bowed with deep respect.

"Do your duties well."

Fang Yu nodded, passed through many servants, and headed straight for the Spirit Beast Palace.

Fang Han resided in the Spirit Beast Palace; when Fang Yu arrived, Fang Han was speaking with the Crane Immortal. Seeing Fang Yu, his expression changed slightly, then he hurriedly bowed.

"Hail Young Master Yu."

Fang Han's face showed a respectful expression.

"Fang Han, I was right about you—you've now reached the Realm of Aura."

Fang Yu smiled.

He was now in the Spirit Communication Realm and could naturally see that Fang Han had cultivated to the 6th Stage of Physical Body Realm of Aura in these past twenty days.

This rate of cultivation advancement was faster than that of most Fang family disciples.

In fact, very few could advance from the Realm of Divine Power to the Realm of Aura—it required strong comprehension.

Once, some Fang family disciples reached the Realm of Divine Power, but spent their entire lives failing to comprehend the essence of Aura, dying still at the Realm of Divine Power.

Of course, in the mortal world, this realm was already sufficient to command a region and enjoy wealth and honor.

But Fang Han had already broken through to the Realm of Aura.

"I was fortunate to gain insight and break through to the Realm of Aura."

Fang Han's expression remained respectful.

Though he had broken through to the Realm of Aura, he faintly sensed that Young Master Fang Yu's power was terrifying—his eyes seemed to pierce through everything about him.

Those eyes possessed a penetrating power that could see through the heart.

This realm seemed to have surpassed Fang Tong of Fang family's Giant Spirit Hand, reaching the 9th Stage of Physical Body Spirit Communication Realm!

Indeed, as he advanced, others advanced too—Young Master Fang Yu had broken through to the 9th Stage of Physical Body and was drawing ever closer to the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

"Good, good. You're all very good."

A woman's voice, cold and clear, suddenly echoed in the area.

Fang Yu turned around and saw Fang Qingxue, the Fang family's Young Lady, had emerged from seclusion.

"Fang Yu, you've done well—you've broken through to the 9th Stage of Physical Body Spirit Communication Realm, just one step away from Divine Transformation; it seems highly likely you'll achieve the Divine Ability Secret Realm."

Fang Qingxue walked through the void, her feet now flanked by two purple lightning serpents, vivid and lifelike, as if possessing souls.

At this moment, the two purple lightning serpents turned their gaze toward Fang Yu and Fang Han, flicking their tongues with a hissing sound—each tongue was purple, causing thunderous explosions in the void.

"And you—you're Fang Han? You're one of my Fang family's servants, yet you've also broken through to the 6th Stage of Physical Body Realm of Aura. Good, good."

Fang Qingxue said. "The Realm of Aura is a waste here tending to my spirit beasts. Conveniently, there's still a slot for Yuhua Sect Outer Sect disciples from our Fang family—you'll take it. Your servant status is revoked."

"Thank you, Young Lady!"

Fang Han's face immediately lit up with joy.

Though he had already heard from Young Master Fang Yu that breaking through to the Realm of Aura would earn him the Young Lady's favor, remove his servant status, and grant him the chance to take the Outer Sect examination, actually receiving this opportunity still filled him with immense delight.

After all, shedding his servant status and regaining freedom had been his lifelong dream; and if he passed the Outer Sect examination and entered Yuhua Sect, his status would leap from free man to noble in one bound.

Becoming an Outer Sect disciple of Yuhua Sect was equivalent to achieving nobility in the mortal world; now that the Fang family Young Lady truly permitted him to take the examination, he had a chance to become noble.
