Chapter 894: The Arrival of Nannan!

On Zhuofeng, Fang Yu struck out and tore apart the primordial Dao diagram that Ye Fan had been utterly unable to resist.

This sight made every heart leap; even Ye Fan was stunned.

He knew Fang Yu's strength had reached an extremely formidable level, but he never imagined it could be so terrifying—when that primordial Dao diagram descended, even before fully arriving, it made one gasp for breath, yet how could it be shattered so instantly before Fang Yu?

To what realm has Fang Yu's comprehension of Dao reached?

"The primordial Dao diagram isn't anything difficult."

After Fang Yu shattered the primordial Dao diagram, he obliterated it entirely, while within his body, Exalted Linglong recorded its meridian patterns.

Exalted Linglong, a supreme treasure in the Immortal Realm, can record all primordial Dao diagrams and primordial meridians; only under the nourishment of immortal qi can its marvels manifest—and fortunately, Fang Yu possessed the pure yang qi of the Eternal Life Realm, which was effectively immortal qi, perfectly enabling Exalted Linglong to fulfill its function.

On Exalted Linglong, the primordial Dao diagram was inscribed; if this diagram were taught to the disciples of Weitaixuan Sect, it would be an unparalleled divine art.

Fang Yu himself had also acquired a supreme Dao diagram.

"This tribulation is probably over."

Fang Yu gazed upward, sensing no other tribulation energies; the Wan Gu Qian Qiu Hun Luan Jue Shen Dao he had just unleashed was the ultimate technique of Hun Luan Tian Jun—though he had only grasped a trace of it, it had instantly shattered all tribulation energies.

"The great tribulation has been crossed!"

All present waited in the courtyard; after a stick of incense burned out, no further heavenly tribulations appeared, and immediately, the entire Weitaixuan Sect erupted in jubilation, noise surging to the heavens.

After more than a hundred thousand years, the Ancient Holy Body finally broke the curse; perhaps a fully realized Holy Body will reappear in the world!

Everyone looked at Ye Fan with deep respect, especially the younger generation, who revered him immensely.

Most of Weitaixuan Sect's young disciples were currently at the Palace Secret Realm, far from the Four Extremities Secret Realm; now that Ye Fan had ascended to the Four Extremities Secret Realm, and especially as a holder of the unique Ancient Holy Body, he would surely become a Sacred Disciple of Weitaixuan Sect—once he matured, he could challenge the ancient Great Emperors!

This was truly Weitaixuan Sect's great fortune!

"Excellent, excellent! What kind of fortune has Weitaixuan Sect received? First came Fangzhang Sect, an unparalleled genius, and now the Ancient Holy Body has broken through—possibly reaching the highest heights. If he cultivates for a few more ages, Weitaixuan Sect will become a true holy land!"

One Weitaixuan Sect Elder was overjoyed.

"Indeed, this is Weitaixuan Sect's great joy—we must celebrate lavishly! Invite every sect: Xiaoyao Sect, Ancient Ji Clan, Tianjian Sect, Xuantian Sect—all the major sects of the Southern Dōnghuāng region! And send invitations to the central Dōnghuāng too—invite the Feng Clan, the Gu Clan! And the Ancient Jiang Clan must be invited—I've long heard of Jiang Shenwang's renown, but never had the chance to meet him."

Another Supreme Elder also sighed in awe and ordered his subordinates to immediately draft the invitations.

"Master, aren't we being too conspicuous? The Ancient Holy Body hasn't broken the curse in over a hundred thousand years—now that it has, it may alarm all major powers. No one wants to see him rise—how can we still make such a grand spectacle..."

A middle-aged man said to the Supreme Elder.

"What genius isn't feared? I think the entire Northern Dōnghuāng fears our Zhang Sect more than they fear the Ancient Holy Body—yet what was the result? It only brought us an Emperor Weapon. Geniuses are always envied and feared—does that mean we stop living because others envy or fear us? We must celebrate extravagantly and send out invitations properly. Weitaixuan Sect can't go low-key anymore—even if we wanted to, we couldn't. So what's the point of being low-key?"

The Supreme Elder's expression was visibly excited.

"Yes, Elder!"

"By the way, one more thing—I heard both our Zhang Sect and the Ancient Holy Body came from Yan Land. In Yan Land there's a paradise cave called Lingxu Cave Heaven—invite its Elders too. That cave heaven is extraordinary—it produced both our Zhang Sect and the Ancient Holy Body, two unparalleled geniuses. They must be invited; I'll thank them personally."

The Supreme Elder added.

"Yes, the Elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven truly deserve our gratitude."

A disciple nodded.

"Lingxu Cave Heaven..."

Fang Yu heard the name—it was indeed a distant one, yet the place where his dream began.

"Ye Fan, you go personally. Invite Elder Wu Wu Qingfeng to Weitaixuan Sect. Along the way, if you encounter any clever geniuses, bring them to Weitaixuan Sect to expand our ranks."

Fang Yu spoke to Ye Fan.

"Yes, Zhang Sect!"

Ye Fan immediately agreed.

His cultivation base had reached the Four Extremities, and he truly needed to descend the mountain for trials—to see how the experts below fared. Now, everyone on Weitaixuan Sect's mountain showered him with flattery; he couldn't possibly fight his junior disciples still stuck at the Palace Secret Realm.

So descending the mountain was necessary.

"Zhang Sect, I'll go too."

Pang Bo, hearing the name "Lingxu Cave Heaven," remembered the Elder Wu Wu Qingfeng he revered, and immediately wanted to see it again.

When he was still in Lingxu Cave Heaven, he was a raw beginner just starting his cultivation path, not even at the Wheel Sea Secret Realm—now his cultivation had reached Dao Palace Fifth Level, and soon he'd break into the Four Extremities Secret Realm. Returning home in glory felt wonderful.

If he remembered correctly, the head of Lingxu Cave Heaven was merely a Dao Palace Secret Realm cultivator.

"Fine, you go too. Tu Fei, you may descend as well."

Fang Yu said.

"Good, then I'll accompany Little Ye and Pang Bo, and take in the scenery of the Southern Region."

After arriving in the Southern Region, Tu Fei was in high spirits—the land was full of beautiful mountains and vistas, far more prosperous than the North. Now that he heard he could descend again for trials, he was delighted.

Thus, three people from Weitaixuan Sect descended to Yan Land, while many others traveled to the major sects of Southern Dōnghuāng—some to the Ancient Ji Clan, some to Xiaoyao Sect, some to Xuantian Sect—and to deliver the news to the Ancient Jiang Clan in the North, Fang Yu himself had to send a voice transmission.

Otherwise, they'd miss the auspicious timing.

These weren't problems.

The entire Weitaixuan Sect was bustling for several days, while Fang Yu remained quietly cultivating atop the mountain.

While the Northern Region buzzed with activity, Southern Dōnghuāng remained calm—devoid of yuan and imperial relics, untouched by the legacy of Wushui Emperor from Zishan.

Fang Yu thus continued refining his understanding of single-secret-realm cultivation here.

His cultivation had reached Six Lives, Six Deaths—he'd use these days to advance to Seven Lives, Seven Deaths.

When a single-secret-realm cultivator reaches Seven Lives, Seven Deaths, it equals the Reverse Realm of the Immortal Platform in ordinary cultivation; after two more lives and deaths, it matches the ordinary Saint realm.

Thus, the next stage of cultivation became extremely arduous—each rebirth required immense time.

Yet each successful rebirth granted tremendous enhancement to one's essence, energy, and spirit.

On Zhuofeng of Weitaixuan Sect, Fang Yu sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by rolling chaotic qi, swirling five-colored divine light, and above his head, the Book of Stars Without Limit drew in the primordial essence of heaven and earth, all stars.

Within the chaotic qi, five-colored divine light, and the Book of Stars Without Limit, a seed shaped like a qilin lay comfortably—it seemed a living being, inhaling vast amounts of chaotic qi, five-colored divine light, and stellar power, exhaling dense, potent life essence.

Each wisp of medicinal qi entering Fang Yu's body infused him with renewed vitality; even inhaling it made him sense his soul power rising.

This was the Immortal Medicine—the Qilin Seed—now mutually enhancing with Fang Yu.

Fang Yu cultivated many great Daoist divine abilities; for the divine seed, he was practically a walking immortal realm, and the Qilin seed also had its own unique effects—every casual breath could greatly enhance Fang Yu's life force and soul force.

If this continued long-term, Fang Yu would likely enter the "Eight Lifes" stage of the Eight Lifes, Eight Deaths realm before long, and at that point his strength would be even more terrifying.

"Reporting to the Zhang Sect Supreme, Ye Fan has returned!"

Just then, a disciple of the Hua family came forward respectfully to report.

"Oh, he's back again?"

Fang Yu's gaze swept toward the foot of the mountain, and he immediately saw Ye Fan had returned.

Not only Ye Fan, but also Elder Wu Qingfeng.

This Elder had only just cultivated to the first heaven of the Dao Palace realm; placed within the Tai Xuan Sect, even a single disciple would be stronger than him, but this Elder held a different status, and within the Tai Xuan Sect he would receive the respect of every disciple.

Besides these, there was one more person who had come along with Ye Fan.

It was a little girl, very cute-looking, appearing to be only three or four years old, her entire face timid and shy, very wary of strangers.

"She's here. She's here…"
