Chapter 813

After a while, Ye Fan also returned to his original appearance. The remains of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body that had stood up earlier lost all vitality and sat back down.

Only then did the Green-Clothed Little Jiao King let out a breath of relief.

"Brother Qingyi, may I ask the origins of this senior?"

Ye Fan asked the Green-Clothed Little Jiao King, who was not far away.

"This Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was originally discovered within this small world."

The Green-Clothed Little Jiao King spoke, recounting some events of the past.

Back then, the Green Jiao King had discovered this small heaven and earth. His greatest gain was obtaining an Undying Palace, which could extend a cultivator's lifespan, and this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had also been discovered within it.

"According to the Green Jiao King's speculation, this small world was opened up by this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."

Yan Ruyu said.

"In the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, a Sacred Body couldn't cultivate to the Fourth Extremities Secret Realm, yet it could still open up a small world?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Fei couldn't help but speak out in shock.

He could also faintly discern the realm of this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body—it had not stepped into the Four Extremities Secret Realm, yet it could cultivate to the level of the ancient sages and open up a small world?

This simply defied common sense in the Cultivation World.

"Some ancient great powers specialized in cultivating a single secret realm, and with just one secret realm they could also cultivate to the level of the ancient sages."

Fang Yu spoke, his gaze turning toward a palace not far away. "Green Jiao King, I'm very interested in the remains of this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. Could you part with this physical body?"

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist wishes to use in exchange."

A tall figure suddenly appeared. It was a middle-aged man, and as he walked over, he had a presence as if he could swallow mountains and rivers.

The Green Jiao King had come out of seclusion directly, personally coming to meet Fang Yu.

Moreover, his form of address for Fang Yu was not 'little friend,' not 'junior,' but 'Fellow Daoist.'

The moment those two words "Fellow Daoist" left his mouth, whether it was the Green-Clothed Little Jiao King or Yan Ruyu, their expressions both changed.

Tu Fei even felt as if he had seen a ghost.

The Green Jiao King, the renowned Green Jiao King, an existence comparable to a great power, actually addressed Fang Yu as Fellow Daoist.

A so-called Fellow Daoist was, of course, someone of the same generation.

In other words, in the Green Jiao King's eyes, Fang Yu was not a junior, but someone who could sit as his equal. Such an evaluation was truly too high.

Especially the Green-Clothed Little Jiao King—he had addressed Fang Yu as Brother Fang, and had already felt he was being polite enough. But he hadn't expected that his family's lord here would directly address Fang Yu as Fellow Daoist, which instantly lowered his own seniority by a generation.

"I do indeed have many good things that could be used to exchange for this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. How about this—how about I give a lecture on the Dao for the Green Jiao King and your subordinates?"

A smile on his face, Fang Yu pondered briefly before speaking.

"What, a single lecture on the Dao?"

"A single lecture on the Dao in exchange for the remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body? Isn't this Fang Yu being a bit too arrogant?"

"Who does he think he is, giving one lecture on the Dao and getting the remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body? That really is a bit excessive."

"Although this boy could suppress the Golden-Winged Little Peng King in an instant, saying such words before the Green Jiao King is truly a bit overconfident. You must know that the Green Jiao King has also received many inheritances and cultivated to such a terrifying level today. Looking across the entire world, there are probably only a handful of people qualified to lecture him on the Dao—even the Supreme Elders of the various great Holy Lands cannot do so."

Everyone who heard Fang Yu actually say such a thing found it inconceivable.

Now the people in this small cave-heaven had also learned of Fang Yu's identity—an absolute prodigy from a great sect, the Paitaixuan Sect, in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wastes. Though young in age, his cultivation base had already reached an extremely high realm. It was said he had once defeated the Holy Son of the Fluctuating Light Holy Land, and had also defeated the Golden-Winged Little Peng King here. Looking across the entire younger generation of the Eastern Wastes, he was among the outstanding. But an outstanding figure among the younger generation might not be enough when placed before the older generation.

Now that Fang Yu had spoken of giving the Green Jiao King a lecture on the Dao, that was clearly too arrogant.

Even Yan Ruyu, this demon Princess, shook her head, feeling that this Brother Fang Yu seemed a bit arrogant.

However, she didn't say much more, because the Green Jiao King had addressed this Fang Yu as Fellow Daoist.

"Give me and my subordinates a lecture on the Dao? That does sound like something fresh. Fine—as long as Fellow Daoist, your lecture on the Dao is a good one, the remains of this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body will be yours."

Listening to Fang Yu's "wild and boastful" words, the Green Jiao King's gaze nearly froze, then he laughed heartily and, with a wave of his hand, invited Fang Yu to begin his lecture.

"Then it's a deal."

Fang Yu stepped directly out of the Green Jiao King's treasury, took a single step, and had already reached the high sky.

He waved his hand, and a five-colored throne appeared in the void. He sat himself upon this five-colored throne.

Seeing this, the Green Jiao King also rose into the air, reaching the void, where divine light flowed and condensed into a throne.

As for the other old bones, the Green Jiao King's former subordinates, they did not fly into the high sky, but instead stepped onto the ground and sat down one by one.

These old bones, old demons, had little lifespan remaining, so of course they couldn't waste even a bit of their Xu Yuan Qi on meaningless things. However, they didn't ignore Fang Yu either, because earlier Fang Yu had defeated the Golden-Winged Little Peng King in a single move, displaying tremendous combat power.

They had come, wanting to see whether they could truly gain something.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance, and each found a spot on the ground to sit down.

They knew exactly how deep this Brother Fang's comprehension of the Dao was. If they could grasp even a little this time, it would be of tremendous benefit to their strength.

The Green-Clothed Little Jiao King and Yan Ruyu exchanged a glance, and also found a place to sit.

"They're all actually going to listen to the lecture?"

The younger generation among the demon race had originally found it inconceivable, thinking no one would listen to Fang Yu's lecture. But seeing such a display, they too began to waver in their thoughts, and one by one, they secretly walked over and found a spot.

In an instant, many of the demon race had come.

Many gazes looked up from the ground toward Fang Yu high upon his throne, wondering what Dao this young absolute prodigy would lecture on.

"I heard he's an absolute prodigy of the Paitaixuan Sect. He wouldn't actually lecture on the Dao techniques of the Paitaixuan Sect for us, would he?"

"Among the many sects of the Southern Region of the Eastern Wastes, the Paitaixuan Sect's ranking is actually not that high—only around a hundred or so. It's far inferior to the great Holy Lands and the Desolate Ancient Clans. But I've heard that atop Zhuofeng of the Paitaixuan Sect, there is a kind of Nine Secrets inheritance. Could it be that Fang Yu will lecture on this?"

"If he really lectures on this, then I will definitely listen carefully. According to legend, the Nine Secrets are nine kinds of secret arts, and each one possesses inconceivable, marvelous effects. It's just that the vast majority of cultivators, in their entire lives, can hardly obtain even one. Would Fang Yu actually lecture on one of these Nine Secrets?"

"Then let's wait and see. He wants to give one lecture on the Dao and obtain the remains of a Desolate Ancient Sacred Body—that won't be so easy!"

Just as a crowd of cultivators were waiting in anticipation, Fang Yu began his lecture on the Dao.

However, he did not speak a single word first. Instead, with a slight movement of his mind, rolling Pure Yang qi cascaded forth from his body.

It wasn't even Pure Yang qi, but Six Yang qi.

The Pure Yang qi that Fang Yu had casually breathed in and absorbed from the Eternal Life Realm was condensed from the nine kinds of Pure Yang qi of the Immortal World. It possessed the effects of increasing magic power, enhancing the strength of the physical body, and extending lifespan. However, Fang Yu, being in this world and facing those old demons who were about to die of old age, did not choose to descend the nine kinds of Pure Yang qi—lest the moment they encountered the Pure Yang power, they would be over-supplemented and simply cease to exist. Instead, he chose Six Yang qi.

The Six Yang force, condensed from the six types of Xu Yuan Qi of the immortal realm of the Eternal Life Realm, spread out from Fang Yu's body and fell upon the bodies of those listening to the Dao. Immediately, those old demons felt a remarkable change occur in their physical bodies.

Originally they were so old they were nearly dead, not daring to waste even the slightest bit of their life essence, but when Fang Yu descended the Six Yang Qi upon them, they were utterly shocked to discover that their life force was being replenished. Their entire being's vitality began to flourish; the flame of life, which had been on the verge of guttering out, now gained vigor and life.

"Heavens, what is this aura? After smelling it, I feel as though my lifespan could increase? That's right, my lifespan really has increased—greatly increased!"

An old demon whose teeth were about to fall out, his eyes brimming with delight, greedily absorbed the surrounding Six Yang Qi. With every bit he absorbed, his vitality recovered a little; by the time he finished absorbing, he was about to return to the appearance of his prime years.

He gazed at his gradually recovering body, simply unable to believe it.

"My lifespan has been extended, my lifespan has been extended! This isn't fake, this is truly real! I've gained at least fifty years of lifespan!"

Another old demon was so shocked he didn't know what to say, and leaped straight up from the ground.

He had been on the verge of death, but now his vitality was recovering, and his life functions seemed to have been restored.

"My cultivation base has increased quite a bit too. Where did Brother Fang obtain such a mysterious treasure?"

The Green-Robed Little Jiao King, this young cultivator, also felt the change within himself. Compared to those old demons, what he felt most clearly was the advancement of his own cultivation base. After absorbing just a little of that incomparably pure Pure Yang energy, he felt he now had the possibility of advancing to the next minor realm.

"This is…"

A look of surprise appeared on Yan Yan Ruyu's face. She too had received some Six Yang Qi and felt that her cultivation base and strength had improved.

"Daoist friend actually possesses such a treasure?"

The Green Jiao King sat in the void, an expression of disbelief on his face.

He had originally intended to see what kind of reasoning this Fang Yu could actually expound, but now streams of Pure Yang force flowed out from this young, peerless genius's body and fell upon his old brothers and old subordinates, instantly causing their lifespans to increase greatly.

The Green Jiao King's expression immediately changed, filled with great joy.

Such a kindness was truly enormous.

Those rolling waves of Pure Yang force simply didn't seem like any treasure found in the mortal world. Obtaining even a little could increase lifespan and boost strength, yet now this Daoist friend Fang Yu had lavishly scattered it in boundless amounts. This truly was a great kindness.

Even with his current realm, finding a treasure that could increase lifespan was extremely difficult for him. As for his old subordinates, he had absolutely no way to make them live longer. But now, with a single move, this Daoist friend Fang Yu had extended his subordinates' lifespans.

Such a kindness would not be excessive even if he were to hand over the remains of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body right now.

"Daoist friend Fang's kindness is truly a little too great."

The Green Jiao King rose directly from his Wang Zuo and looked at his old subordinates, discovering that every single one of them had received many benefits—both lifespan and strength had increased. Living another fifty years would be no problem at all.

"These are but trifling efforts. The Dao lecture has not yet begun; please be seated, Daoist friend."

A smile appeared on Fang Yu's face. He now finally understood the feeling Hua Tiandu had back in those days.

Back then, the elixir Hua Tiandu was best at refining was the Jiazi Great Pill. Upon seeing disciples who had rendered meritorious service, he would directly bestow the Jiazi Great Pill upon them, and it could immediately increase a disciple's lifespan by sixty years. Such a Hua Tiandu was truly worshipped wherever he went.

And now Fang Yu, traveling through the Shrouding Heaven Realm, had arrived at this minor world of the Green Jiao King. Before even beginning the Dao lecture, he first bestowed the Six Yang Qi, increasing these cultivators' lifespans, and immediately won the gratitude and reverence of everyone present.

This feeling was indeed not bad.

"Many thanks, Daoist friend."

The Green Jiao King sat back down.

And below, the Green Jiao King's subordinates—those old demons whose lifespans had been increased—all suppressed their excitement, sat down, and respectfully began to listen to Fang Yu's lecture on the Dao.
