Chapter 730: Fang Han: I Summon the Eightfold Pagoda vs Fang Yu: I Summon the Great Chaos Art

Beyond Yu Peak, a true disciple arrived.

Fang Han.

His body had not yet arrived, but his voice had already reached them.

"Oh, younger brother Fang Han, you've come—this is truly excellent."

Fang Yu's spiritual sense turned toward the outside of Yu Peak and discovered that this younger brother Fang Han had gained immense benefits during his travels; his cultivation base had now reached the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heaven and Earth Manifestation Realm!

9th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heaven and Earth Manifestation—just one realm away from the final stage of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, Numbing Heaven and Altering Fate, and two steps away from the Longevity Secret Realm.

Fang Han's journey this time clearly granted him tremendous gains; he successfully passed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation, advancing directly from the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities—Golden Core Realm—to the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities!

Such progress in cultivation cannot be called slow.

Since stepping into Yuhua Sect and becoming a peripheral disciple, Fang Han had seemingly achieved in under two years the leap from the Physical Body Secret Realm straight to the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heaven and Earth Manifestation Realm; in the Shrouding Heaven Realm, this was equivalent to advancing from the Wheel and Sea Realm to the Immortal Platform Realm in under two years; in the Perfect World, it was like moving from the Blood Moving Realm to the Divine Flame Realm in less than two years.

This kind of advancement was nothing short of blistering speed.

If Fang Yu's own cultivation pace had not been even faster, breaking into the Longevity Secret Realm, he would now be unsure who was the senior and who was the junior when facing Fang Han.

"Senior Yu, I've arrived."

A figure appeared in the grand hall atop Yu Peak—it was Fang Han. He strode forward, radiating a terrifying aura; even a slight flow of his magic power sent shockwaves through the hearts of all true disciples and elders within Yu Peak's palace.

"Fang Han, what is your current cultivation level? Why does your magic power feel so terrifying?"

A senior elder named Elder Tianquan stood up, deeply curious.

"Elder Tianquan, on this journey, I encountered some rare fortunes, barely survived the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation, and reached the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Realm."

Under the gaze of all present, Fang Han spoke clearly.

"What? Fang Han, your cultivation has already reached the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heaven and Earth Manifestation? How many days have you cultivated?"

The moment Fang Han spoke, shock erupted among everyone present—whether Elder Tianquan, Elder Chuan Gong, Elder Tiangong, or others—all were stunned.

"Senior Fang Han is truly terrifying! Master Fang Yu is already an unparalleled genius, yet how did Senior Fang Han's realm advance so rapidly?"

"Senior Fang Han was still just an inner disciple during last year's Shanhe Tournament, but even then he had already entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm, astonishing everyone at the Shanhe Tournament and shaking Yuhua Sect. By last year's Shanhe Tournament, Senior Fang Han had already reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities—Golden Core Realm; this time, he directly passed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation and achieved Heaven and Earth Manifestation! This is simply terrifying!"

"Indeed, the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation is a massive barrier. In the past, Yuhua Sect had several Golden Core experts—brilliant talents—who perished under the tribulation. That's why our Five True Disciples—Dong Lingxiao, Nan Wan Luo, Xi Jialan—all remained at the Golden Core Realm; even Sister Jialan is still at the Golden Core Realm."

"Yuhua Sect has changed so much. Among the old Five True Disciples, three remain Golden Core experts—though they are still ancient Golden Core titans, respected wherever they go—yet now Master Fang Yu has reached the Longevity Secret Realm, while Meng Shaobai and Senior Fang Han have both passed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation and achieved Heaven and Earth Manifestation; Sister Fang Qingxue likely hasn't fallen behind either, having surpassed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation."

"Look—Sister Jialan is still at the Golden Core Realm! This really makes one feel defeated by comparison."

The true disciples of Yuhua Sect, hearing Fang Han declare he had passed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation and achieved Heaven and Earth Manifestation, were all stunned; even Jialan sighed: "Fang Han, I never expected your cultivation to surpass mine. But I must also strive harder to pass the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation."

This former lofty true disciple senior sister still remained at the Golden Core Realm—undoubtedly powerful—but she now lagged slightly behind Fang Han.

"Jialan, don't rush. With your current accumulation, you can pass the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation. I will purify your Golden Core and lend you a hand."

Fang Yu, seated in the central position, spoke.

As he spoke, he pointed a finger, and streams of pure yang light shone upon Jialan's body—this pure yang light contained not only pure yang energy from the Immortal Realm but also Fang Yu's Great Five Elements Art, which was exceptionally effective for purifying the Golden Core and refining the Physical Body.

Everyone saw Jialan's Golden Core and Physical Body undergo obvious changes; her magic power became more complete and harmonious, and her entire being radiated a serene, effortless aura—as if she were perpetually prepared to pass the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation.

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Jialan whispered softly.

"No need to thank me."

Fang Yu smiled.

The other elders and true disciples on Yu Peak gradually withdrew, for the master of Yu Peak was now summoning his closest confidants—Fang Han, Jialan, Long Xuan, and others.

"Younger brother Fang Han, your gains on this journey seem substantial."

After the other disciples left, Fang Yu spoke to Fang Han.

"I won't hide it from you, Senior: on this journey, I traveled to the Great Xuan Empire and met a Prince named Yi Prince. Together, we entered the Long Gong Secret Realm, where I gained many benefits and acquired a supreme treasure—the Eightfold Pagoda. It is profoundly mysterious, and I wish to share it with you as a gift to celebrate your ascent into the Longevity Secret Realm!"

Fang Han smiled, and from his body flew eight Top-Grade magic treasures.

Instantly, the entire void shimmered with treasure light, leaving Jialan and Long Xuan dazzled.

These eight Top-Grade magic treasures included one exquisite ruler, radiating immense spiritual power; when swung casually, it emitted roars of dragons and tigers, with dazzling light swirling around the body.

Even alone, each of these Top-Grade magic treasures was a supreme artifact, worth at least several billion White Yang Pills.

"This ruler is called the Eightfold Dragon King Ruler. Currently, it is only a Top-Grade magic treasure, but if fully forged, it will become a Dao Artifact—its power immense. If activated with dragon blood, it becomes even more formidable. On this journey, I obtained some Dragon God Pills in the Long Gong Secret Realm; with just a single drop of my blood, I can shatter a Heaven and Earth Manifestation expert of the same realm with one strike."

Fang Han pointed to the ruler as he explained.

"This ruler is indeed a supreme artifact among Top-Grade magic treasures. Fang Han, you've had such a rare fortune—it's incredible. And this doesn't seem to be a single artifact; it must be a set. Eight Top-Grade magic treasures combined into one complete treasure—its power is unimaginable."

Jialan marveled repeatedly.

Beside her, Long Xuan also studied the ruler, her expression hinting at hidden thoughts.

"You're right, Jialan—they are indeed a set. This treasure is called the Saha Rosary, also currently a Top-Grade magic treasure. Cultivating beneath the Saha Rosary will double your progress. And this one, called the Morning Bell, and this one, the Evening Drum, are both Top-Grade magic treasures. The Morning Bell and Evening Drum resonate with the spiritual mind; possessing these two artifacts ensures you will never suffer qi deviation."

Fang Han pointed to two Top-Grade magic treasures in the void.

One was a great drum, the other a bronze bell.

Morning Bell, Evening Drum.

Both were rare treasures under heaven.

In addition, there was a crystal ball called the Destiny Ball, and a divine halberd called the Sky-Splitting Halberd—its gaze alone radiated unmatched slaughter, its power immense.

Fang Yu had seen many Top-Grade magic treasures in his past, but he had to admit: few could rival the Sky-Splitting Halberd.

Besides these, there was a great axe adorned with dragon patterns, radiating immense power—called the Mingwang Axe—a formidable Top-Grade magic treasure.

And the final Top-Grade magic treasure was a furnace—called the Eightfold Smelter.

A Top-Grade magic treasure furnace!
