Chapter 728

In the Golden Immortal Hall, the Three Sages of Yuhua each spoke in turn, their voices rolling like thunder, bestowing rewards.

Promote Fang Yu to Deputy Sect Master.

Reward Fang Yu with the Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Yin-Yang Art!

The Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Yin-Yang Art — this is the supreme ultimate technique of Yuhua Sect, just like the Great Calamity Art of Taiyi Sect, both are bottom-tier supreme Dao techniques.

Since Fang Yu entered Yuhua Sect, he had been deeply curious about this Great Yin-Yang Art, yet when he ascended to the Golden Core Realm, Yuhua Sect did not grant him this Dao technique; when he reached the Heavenly Manifestation Realm, Yuhua Sect still did not grant him this Dao technique — now, having reached the Longevity Secret Realm, Yuhua Sect finally bestowed this Dao technique upon him.

This was truly exceedingly difficult.

Know that unlike Yuhua Sect, Taiyi Sect's Golden Core disciples all begin with branches of the Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Calamity Art — each mastering parts of Great Day Fire Calamity, Black Sun Wind Calamity, or Final Day Heavenly Calamity.

But in Yuhua Sect, only disciples who reached the Longevity Secret Realm gained the chance to cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Art.

Of course, one cannot say Yuhua Sect's method is worse or Taiyi Sect's is better — after all, had Taiyi Sect's Golden Core disciples not all known branches of the Great Calamity Art, Fang Yu could never have successfully cultivated the Great Calamity Art.

Given Yuhua Sect's current status, if a Golden Core disciple cultivated the complete Great Yin-Yang Art, he would likely vanish during an external trial, slain by some "demon," his body never found, his soul never seen — and soon every Taiyi Sect disciple would know it.

"Fang Yu, this is the true secret of the Great Yin-Yang Art. I shall now transmit it to you. I hope you do not spread it outside."

At that moment, upon the high heavens above the solar star, a Saint transmitted a profound, boundless thought into Fang Yu's mind.

Fang Yu's expression trembled, instantly sensing the Saint's vast, immense thought — and within it, indeed, lay the mysteries of the Great Yin-Yang Art.

It was countless arcane Dao runes; with his current cultivation base, even to comprehend them would require deep stillness and focus, and to master them fully would likely demand several more jiazi of arduous effort — perhaps even a thousand years of refinement.

The Three Thousand Great Dao — each of the top-ranked Dao arts is not easily cultivated. Take the Great Chaos Art: had Fang Yu not obtained the Chaos Ring from the Manghuang Ji Realm and the World Mountain from the Perfect World, even achieving minor mastery would have taken a jiazi.

The Great Yin-Yang Art is no different — one must comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang, then absorb sufficient Yin-Yang energy, transforming it into Yin-Yang Thunder, before one can truly master it.

"Thank you, Three Sages. I shall cultivate diligently and break through to the Immortal Body Realm as soon as possible, bringing greater glory to Yuhua Sect."

Having received the transmission of the Great Yin-Yang Art, Fang Yu's mood was excellent, and he spoke at once.

"Immortal Body? Hmm, good. Fang Yu, your ambition is truly admirable — yet this realm is many times more difficult than the Wan Shou Realm. In Yuhua Sect, there are some Deputy Sect Masters, but none have yet reached the Immortal Body Realm. Very well — I shall reward you with one hundred million pure yang elixirs to aid you. If you truly achieve the Immortal Body Realm, you shall be Yuhua Sect's first Deputy Sect Master, equal in rank to the Supreme Elder."

Hearing Fang Yu's words, one of the three Suns high above the Golden Immortal Hall emitted a majestic voice, and then countless streams of liquid immortal qi poured down, as if someone had shattered a greater gate to the Immortal Realm, causing the realm's Xu Yuan Qi to gush forth wildly.

Liquid immortal qi!

The appearance of this liquid immortal qi immediately shocked many cultivating Supreme Elders — no one had expected the Three Sages of Yuhua to bestow liquid immortal qi.

Ordinary Longevity Secret Realm experts can open the Immortal Realm gate and draw and purify its Xu Yuan Qi into pure yang qi, with the amount varying by realm.

No matter how much it varies, it is still pure yang qi.

Not liquid immortal qi!

The flow of liquid immortal qi meant this being had at least cultivated to the 8th Stage of Longevity: Chaos Void Realm — only Chaos Void Realm experts could draw Xu Yuan Qi from the Immortal Realm to an unimaginable extreme, where countless pure yang immortal qi transformed into rolling liquid every moment, flowing into the expert's world.

A single Chaos Void Realm expert's daily output of liquid qi could sustain millions of inner and outer sect disciples!

Since liquid immortal qi was now flowing down, Fang Yu knew the one who had spoken just now was Wu Mingkong, the highest-cultivated of the Three Sages.

Of the Three Sages, only this Saint had reached the 8th Stage of Longevity: Chaos Void Realm, possessing the ability to draw liquid immortal qi.

Of course, Fang Yu would never be foolish enough to thank Saint Wu Mingkong directly — that would reveal too much.

He bowed to all three Sages at once: "Thank you, Three Sages. I shall cultivate diligently!"

Streams of pure yang liquid flowed down, reaching Fang Yu's front — each droplet was pure yang water, so dense it was unimaginable.

Instantly, a Divine Furnace of Discharge Fire burst forth from Fang Yu's body, absorbing all the pure yang water at once.

"Hmm."

The Three Sages of Yuhua, high above, nodded at this sight.

"Feng Baiyu, since our sect's peerless genius has ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm, we must celebrate properly. Invite all Nine Dao Gates. Set the banquet for one month from now. Instruct the disciples below to prepare thoroughly — we must not disgrace Yuhua Sect's reputation."

From the high Sun above, another voice spoke — whether Zhao Shenyang or Wang Kunlun, it was unclear.

But not Wu Mingkong.

"Yes, Three Sages."

Feng Baiyu nodded.

"Go."

After speaking these final words, the high Sages fell silent.

Fang Yu then prepared to leave the Golden Immortal Hall.

"Fang Yu, my disciple Jiang Rourou is also a Wan Gu Emperor. Now that you have ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm, you may grow closer to her."

As Fang Yu was about to depart, the female Supreme Elder Lin Feiyan spoke, and a beam of light flowed toward him — evidently a gift.

"Yes, thank you, Supreme Elder."

Fang Yu hummed, smiled, and received the beam of light.

Though he did not examine it immediately, his divine sense was immensely powerful — he instantly sensed what lay within the light.

It was a collection of heavenly treasures: Celestial Crystal Stone, Wuhua Stone, and other fine materials for forging Dao artifacts — and additionally, a cluster of Yin-Yang energy.

Fang Yu's heart leapt with joy. Other materials were fine, but this cluster of Yin-Yang energy arrived at the perfect moment — to cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Art, he needed Yin-Yang energy, and this Supreme Elder had instantly relieved his urgent need.

Carrying the gift from Supreme Elder Lin Feiyan, Fang Yu exited the deepest reaches of Yuhua Tiangong, moved his body, and returned to his own True Transmission Peak: Yu Peak.

On Yu Peak, voices were already deafening — nearly all True Transmission disciples had arrived, except Dong Lingxiao and Nan Wan Luo.

Among the inner disciples, those with reliable information had all heard that Grandmaster Fang Yu had ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm, becoming an Eternal Emperor — Grandmaster Fang Yu had become Immortal Venerable Fang Yu — each one desperate to use every connection to come to Yu Peak and catch a glimpse of this Immortal Venerable.

As for the outer disciples, though unaware of what had transpired deep within Yuhua Sect, they felt the terrifying fluctuations and endless streams of immortal qi, knowing something monumental had occurred — each one anxiously jumping about, eager to rush over and witness the event.

"Immortal Venerable Fang Yu, your divine abilities are supreme, your magic power boundless, subduing the ancient heavens and the eight directions of the Nine Provinces. In Yuhua Sect's tens of thousands of years of history, no True Transmission disciple has ever been as astonishingly brilliant as you — you are unparalleled before and after. Who could have imagined that within such a short time you reached the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, and even slew an Eternal Emperor while still at the 10th Stage — now you have ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm, becoming a true Eternal Emperor. Any one of these feats is a myth, a legend!"

In the largest palace on Yu Peak, hundreds of Yuhua Sect disciples filled the hall, while Fang Yu sat high in the central throne, relaxed and commanding — every slight movement released streams of immortal qi, truly a Dao-attained True Immortal.

At this moment, a veteran True Transmission disciple who had cultivated to the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities: Return to Oneness Realm paid homage to Fang Yu.

This disciple's name was Yan Kun. In past years, he had not participated in Yuhua Sect's internal struggles, instead traveling widely and gaining many rare encounters, refining his entire cultivation base into a single Life Talisman containing thirteen Divine Abilities — a truly brilliant talent.

Yet now, before Fang Yu, he was reverent and humble, daring not to show the slightest arrogance.

For the deeds Immortal Venerable Fang Yu had accomplished — any single one, if revealed, would be a myth, a legend.

Is there any cultivator who went from the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities to the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities in just a few months, not even a full year?

Is there any cultivator who could slay an Eternal Overlord while at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities? For an ordinary person, not to mention slaying one, even being able to resist one would be remarkable, and even being able to escape with their life would be remarkable.

Is there any cultivator who, after stepping into the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm in less than a month? Even the First Senior Brothers of the Xiandaoshi Sect, the Seven Branches of the Demonic Path, and the Yaodaowu Sect would not dare imagine such a thing.

The First Senior Sister of Taiyi Gate, Yan Yan Shuiyi, has already been at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities for several hundred to a thousand years. The former First Senior Brother of Yuhua Sect, Huatian Du, was also at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities for several hundred years. As for the First Senior Brother of Qunxing Sect, it was the same. Almost all the young-generation experts of the entire Profound Yellow Great World were stalled at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, yet Senior Brother Fang Yu rose straight through, reaching the Longevity Secret Realm and becoming an Eternal Overlord.

Especially now, Yan Kun felt the majesty and power of the Senior Brother before him — a casual movement could crush anyone, countless times more terrifying than that Eternal Overlord Ruyi Zi.

He absolutely had to show the utmost respect.

"Junior Brother Yan Kun, you have long since cultivated your Life-Source Talisman, but unfortunately you have not yet condensed a Jin Dan. This time you came to pledge your loyalty to me, so of course I must reward you handsomely. A disciple like you can be considered a genius of our Yuhua Sect. As long as you are properly cultivated, reaching the Golden Core Realm is no problem."

Fang Yu raised a finger and shot out a beam of pure yang light, which entered Yan Kun's mind and body. Immediately, Yan Kun felt his mind and flesh being washed and purified. That pure yang light contained a kind of profound wonder he could hardly imagine, and after the washing, he felt as if his Life-Source Talisman was about to condense into a Jin Dan.

This was not a false feeling, but a real one.

Because that beam of pure yang light not only contained the effect of washing the spirit and flesh, but also contained incomparably pure energy. For Yan Kun to obtain such a wisp of pure yang light was equivalent to at least five hundred years of bitter cultivation.

A master of the Longevity Secret Realm was indeed terrifying beyond compare. A casual flick of a finger, for a cultivator of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, was equivalent to a heaven-shaking fortuitous encounter.
