Chapter 735

Three Xuanhuang Liehorse powers.

Five Xuanhuang Liehorse powers.

Ten Xuanhuang Liehorse powers.

In an extremely brief moment, Princess Liyang's power surged upward, increasing by ten Xuanhuang Liehorse powers in that instant.

One Xuanhuang Liehorse power equals five thousand jin; thus, in this short time, Princess Liyang's strength increased by fifty thousand jin!

And this was not the limit.

Princess Liyang felt a joy in her heart, a profound spiritual freedom; spiritual energy filled everywhere, causing her physical body to naturally transform toward perfection as she cultivated.

At this moment, her body grew taller, her legs became perfectly straight, and her already breathtakingly beautiful face grew even smoother, radiating an aura like flawless jade.

"Hmm. What's going on? My power has increased by twenty Xuanhuang Liehorse powers—I can even faintly sense the Shentongzhi Sect gate within my mind!"

When Princess Liyang finally awakened from the Realm of Dao Comprehension, she discovered her power had reached twenty-four Xuanhuang Liehorse powers—having increased by twenty Xuanhuang Liehorse powers in this extremely brief time.

She had originally been at the 8th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Valor, possessing four Xuanhuang Liehorse powers; achieving four Xuanhuang Liehorse powers at this realm was already exceptional, yet now Princess Liyang found her power had surged by twenty Xuanhuang Liehorse powers, and her realm had ascended to the Peak Realm of the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Divine Transformation.

Just one step away from the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

"Heavens, this is the power of Senior Brother Fang Yu, the Rourou Xianzun? A single wisp of his aura granted me twenty Xuanhuang Liehorse powers, propelling me directly from the 8th Stage of Physical Body to the Peak Realm of the 10th Stage of Physical Body. Master Fang Yu is truly immensely powerful. I, a mere woman—even a princess of a kingdom—could never hope to catch his eye. But I will surely enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm, venture out to cultivate, gain great opportunities, and offer them to the Immortal Lord—he will surely look upon me with higher regard."

After awakening, this princess immediately understood what had happened.

Her power had surged so rapidly because Fang Yu Xianzun was drawing in spiritual energy from heaven and earth, causing a torrent of spiritual energy to surge forth; most of it was absorbed by Fang Yu Xianzun, yet even the negligible remnants allowed her cultivation base to break through two realms, increasing her power by twenty Xuanhuang Liehorse powers.

With such power, even the top general of the Great Li Dynasty would not be her match.

If she truly returned to the Great Li Dynasty, her father would have to abdicate; her brothers and sisters would have no chance to challenge her—they would be forced to respectfully beg her to ascend the throne.

The 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Divine Transformation, with twenty-four Xuanhuang Liehorse powers—this was truly invincible in the mortal world.

At that very moment, a beam of golden light descended from the peak of Yuhua Peak and settled beneath Princess Liyang's feet.

"Come up."

A voice rang out from the highest point of Yuhua Peak, reaching Princess Liyang's ears.

"It's Fang Yu Xianzun!"

Princess Liyang rejoiced—she had heard Fang Yu Xianzun's voice earlier when he battled Elder Ruyi; now it was this Immortal Lord speaking.

Fang Yu Xianzun had indeed noticed her!

Unbounded joy rose in Princess Liyang's heart; she stepped swiftly into the golden light and in an instant left the spiritual fields, arriving in the elixir chamber atop Yuhua Peak's summit.

Upon entering, she saw before her a very young Daoist, youthful yet extraordinarily beautiful, radiating overwhelming power—every inch of his skin exuded a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens, as if a single breath could obliterate an ancient divine mountain.

Pure yang energy filled the chamber; immortal light flowed everywhere, as if this elixir chamber were a palace of the Immortal Realm, and the young man before her its Immortal Emperor.

"I pay homage to Senior Brother, I pay homage to the Immortal Lord—may the Immortal Lord's blessings rival heaven and his life endure eternally!"

Princess Liyang hastily bowed before this mighty presence, her heart pounding violently.

"You are Princess Liyang, princess of the Great Li Dynasty?"

At that moment, she heard the figure before her speak again, and she nodded urgently.

"Yes, I am Princess Liyang of the Great Li Dynasty, but before the Immortal Lord, I dare not bear the title of princess."

"No, Princess Liyang, you are excellent—excellent indeed. You sensed the Dao rhythm of empty space beneath Yuhua Peak, entered the Realm of Dao Comprehension, and broke through two realms in succession; clearly, you possess great fortune. Now that you have reached the Peak Realm of the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Divine Transformation, you are a true genius of Yuhua Sect—I must reward you."

Fang Yu spoke from his seat.

He gestured, and a Heaven-grade elixir appeared, landing in the hands of this princess of the Great Li Dynasty.

"This Heaven-grade elixir, the Tianzun Sacred Heart Pill, was obtained by me during a past journey. After consuming it, you should break through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm. I believe, given your fortune, you will surely reach higher realms in the future—I offer you this aid."

Fang Yu smiled.

He saw clearly the thoughts in this mortal princess's heart—even though he cultivated atop Yuhua Peak ten thousand zhang high, he could fully perceive the inner thoughts of all disciples on the peak.

This princess, Princess Liyang, was indeed talented; having received a trace of his aura, she had advanced from the 8th Stage of Physical Body to the Peak Realm of the 10th Stage of Physical Body, Realm of Divine Transformation, just one step from the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

With proper cultivation, such a disciple would surely enter the Divine Ability Secret Realm; after doing so, she could be sent to the mortal world of the Great Li Dynasty to handle affairs—perhaps even become an empress. With her fortune, she might even uncover treasures, caverns, or ruins within the Xuanhuang Great World.

The Xuanhuang Great World was the foremost of the ancient Three Thousand Great Worlds; when the Hongmeng Daoist and the Three Heavenly Juniors still lived, it rivaled the Immortal Realm. Though it has since declined to its current state, it still holds many treasures.

Yet in the past, due to his own fortune, Fang Yu had acquired few treasures, and his travels yielded only supreme-grade treasure artifacts.

This time, he summoned Princess Liyang of the Great Li Dynasty precisely to lay a small scheme—to elevate her, enhance her cultivation, and possibly use her in the future.

Thus, the Heaven-grade elixir obtained in the Kanli Great World was bestowed upon her.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Immortal Lord—I will cultivate diligently, follow only Senior Brother's will, and obey any command you give."

Having received this Heaven-grade elixir, the princess nearly offered herself to him outright, but ultimately restrained herself with subtlety.

"Hmm. Leave now."

Fang Yu waved his hand.

The princess withdrew.

"Brother Yu, you've grown quite formidable."

At that moment, the void filled densely with countless bolts of lightning.

"Senior Sister Qingxue!"
