Chapter 743

But neither Lotus Cloud Immortal Lady nor Green Quiao Immortal Lady had expected that Fang Yu, who once hadn't even reached the Heavenly Man Realm, had now surpassed the Jin Dan and entered the Longevity Secret Realm—such cultivation speed was simply too fast, making them doubt whether this was the same Fang Yu.

Only now, upon seeing him, did they immediately know this Fang Yu Xianzun was indeed the same Fang Yu Daoist friend they had met in the Gui Xu Lands.

"Lotus Cloud, Green Quiao, it is good to see you both. Your cultivation bases have improved greatly—I shall lend you a hand."

Fang Yu's gaze fell upon the two women; with a flick of his hand, two peerless treasure artifacts flew from his body—one long needle, crackling with electric light, its surface entwined with threads of lightning, thunder rumbling within; one flying sword, radiating powerful magic power, its form faintly coalescing into a true shape, as if just one step away from transforming into a Dao artifact.

These two peerless treasure artifacts were the finest among peerless treasures, obtained by Fang Yu from the Six Divine Kings, and now he presented them to Lotus Cloud Immortal Lady and Green Quiao Immortal Lady.

"This… thank you, Xianzun!"

Lotus Cloud Immortal Lady and Green Quiao Immortal Lady exchanged glances—they could not refuse. These two peerless treasure artifacts were far too precious; if they took them back and had a ten-thousand-year giant invoke their power, they might even ascend to lower-grade Dao artifacts.

Though Exalted Linglong's Blessed Land was wealthy beyond measure, not every disciple could possess a peerless treasure artifact, let alone a lower-grade Dao artifact.

Especially Green Quiao Immortal Lady, merely a disciple at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm—though nurtured by her sect, she would never be granted a peerless treasure artifact.

"This Fang Yu Xianzun is extravagantly wealthy!"

A Longevity Secret Realm giant from Yiyuan Sect arrived, followed by several of his disciples, his heart surging with shock.

He was a ten-thousand-year giant himself, possessing a few peerless treasure artifacts—but if asked to casually bestow them upon others, he could not do it.

Yet this Fang Yu, who had just ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm—where did he get so many peerless treasure artifacts, to gift them so freely to Exalted Linglong's disciples?

It was utterly inconceivable.

"How could this Fang Yu Xianzun be so extravagantly wealthy? He just gave away two peerless treasure artifacts?"

"Those were peerless treasure artifacts! A few years ago, when a cave emerged, countless cultivators fought over it; thousands died in the battle for that cave's peerless treasure artifact, and in the end, it was seized—blood flowed like rivers, even spawning ghost spirits! Yet today, we watch two peerless treasure artifacts handed out like gifts—is this the depth of the Xiandaoshi Sect?"

"Xiandaoshi Sect, Xiandaoshi Sect—I finally understand now, truly understand! I thought our Tianyue Sect, with one Jin Dan Ancestor and over a dozen Divine Ability Secret Realm Elders, was already a great sect, respected wherever we went. But now I know what true Xiandao Sect Sect depth means—peerless treasure artifacts, which our Jin Dan Ancestor treats as his ultimate trump card, are casually gifted away by them."

Several wandering cultivators who had arrived together, along with several Tianyue Sect Heavenly Man Realm experts, stared in awe.

Tianyue Sect was a sect not far from Yuhua Sect, rooted within the Da Qi Dynasty, led by a thousand-year Jin Dan minor giant who had gained many rare opportunities and even possessed one peerless treasure artifact, establishing a famed Dao lineage in Da Qi. The sect had over a dozen Divine Ability Secret Realm Elders and over a hundred disciples at the 10th Stage of Physical Body.

Such a sect was utterly invincible in the mortal world—even the Emperor of Da Qi was a Tianyue Sect disciple, annually offering vast wealth to the sect.

This time, news of Fang Yu Xianzun's celebration ceremony spread to the Xiandaojiu Sect, and Tianyue Sect received word as well. Though their Sect Master remained in seclusion, he permitted their Elders to attend and honor Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect, hoping to see whether the Xiandaoshi Sect truly possessed the legendary might.

Now, upon entering Yuhua Elder Tiangong, these Tianyue Sect Elders witnessed Fang Yu Xianzun casually gifting away two treasures their Sect Master guarded as his ultimate trump card—and their entire worldview seemed to shatter.

And when these Heavenly Man Realm Elders gazed upon Fang Yu Xianzun seated afar, along with the other Xianzuns, they felt their own power was pitifully small—tiny as ants.

"I've been a frog at the bottom of a well. I thought my strength of ten thousand Xuanhuang steeds made me a top expert in the Heavenly Man Realm. But now, here in Yuhua Sect of the Xiandaoshi Sect, I realize such a Heavenly Man Realm expert like me is utterly weak—what does the strength of ten thousand Xuanhuang steeds even amount to?"

A Tianyue Sect Heavenly Man Realm Elder named Left Si felt utterly incredulous.

He had always held high status in Tianyue Sect; his strength of ten thousand Xuanhuang steeds made him a top expert among experts, revered as a god in the mortal world. His power, the might of ten thousand galloping horses, was fearsome—when angered, he could obliterate a city in an instant.

But now, for the first time, he felt his own insignificance—he realized that having the strength of ten thousand horses in the Heavenly Man Realm seemed commonplace, and other Heavenly Man Realm experts possessed not merely ten thousand, but tens of thousands of Xuanhuang steeds' worth of power.

As for that Xianzun, even his gaze felt like an ancient mountain—utterly impossible to resist.

"This is what Xiandaoshi Sect means! The strength of the Xiandaoshi Sect is truly beyond what Tianyue Sect can withstand!"

At this moment, Elder Left Si roared inwardly in shock.

Even after being seated on a chair, he remained utterly stunned.

Who else was stunned besides the Tianyue Sect Elders? Disciples, Elders, and Longevity Secret Realm giants from every Xiandao Sect Sect—all were stunned as they saw Fang Yu Xianzun generously bestowing peerless treasure artifacts upon Exalted Linglong's disciples, and all thought of one sect.

Had any Taiyi Sect disciples come?

No Taiyi Sect disciples had come.

"This looks rather lively. Fang Yu Xianzun of Yuhua Sect, Xiandaoshi Sect, has ascended to the Longevity Secret Realm and held a grand ceremony—yet Taiyi Sect sent not a single person. What does this mean?"

"Hmph. Fang Yu Xianzun once humiliated Taiyi Sect—why would they come? But not coming at all makes the Xiandaoshi Sect seem incomplete."

"Fang Yu Xianzun of Yuhua Sect is now close to Exalted Linglong, yet Yuhua Sect still has a True Disciple, Hua Tiandu, who is deeply tied to Taiyi Sect. Rumor says he has trained within Taiyi Sect, seeking to use their Dao artifacts to reach the Longevity Secret Realm—but even so, his cultivation speed still lagged behind Fang Yu Xianzun's. Fang Yu Xianzun surpassed him and entered the Longevity Secret Realm, and before doing so, he killed Hua Tiandu's Master, Ruyi Zi—this is a deep, bitter grudge!"

"Hua Tiandu isn't here now because if he came, he'd be humiliated again—unless he breaks through to the Longevity Secret Realm. But for the past few centuries, he's always claimed he'd break through soon—and still hasn't."

"True enough. Everyone says they're about to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm—but no one does. Only Fang Yu Xianzun broke through, ascending in one step."

Amid the murmurs, no Taiyi Sect disciples arrived; eight Xiandaoda Sects came.

"The auspicious hour has arrived—the ceremony begins!"

At that moment, Fang Han, under Fang Yu's instruction, spoke loudly—his voice echoed throughout Yuhua Sect.
