Chapter 952: Goodbye, Demon Commander — You've Already Cultivated to the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities?

While the Supreme Elders of Yuhua Sect were all pondering, Fang Yu had already returned to Feather Peak.

His trip to meet the Three Saints of Yuhua had earned him a fine reward — a seed imbued with the Law of Space. Once refined, it could greatly enhance his Dao cultivation.

Such a reward was indeed perfectly suited to his present self.

It was just that, if the three Saints could bestow a few hundred billion Pure Yang Pills as well, that would be even better.

He lacked nothing else now, but Pure Yang Pills — such fine things — he still lacked.

There was no helping it. In a battle of arts within the Eternal Life Realm, the number of Pure Yang Pills consumed in a single burn was simply too enormous. Even if one accumulated a trillion Pure Yang Pills, burning them to activate a top-grade Dao Weapon would consume them all in an instant.

"Exalted Linglong's grand longevity celebration — what kind of birthday gift should one prepare for this Immortal?"

Fang Yu stopped thinking about the Three Saints of Yuhua's rewards and turned his mind to another matter.

Exalted Linglong was about to celebrate her longevity — how should the birthday gift be prepared?

This Immortal's cultivation base had already reached the realm of Longevity Tenth Stage True Immortal. With a mere flick, with every breath, boundless streams of Pure Yang Qi would come rolling in. Even if Fang Yu brought ten billion Pure Yang Pills as a birthday gift for this Immortal, it would mean nothing to her personally.

Once one's cultivation base reached the level of Exalted Linglong, no matter how precious the gift, it would be nothing to her — unless the gift carried some special meaning.

"Perhaps... I have it."

Countless thoughts turned in Fang Yu's mind, and so he swept out a great hand. The Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi rolled forth, condensing in the void into a painting scroll. Upon this scroll was a woman.

Nuwa.

The Goddess Nuwa of the Desolate Era Realm.

When he was in the Desolate Era Realm, Fang Yu had obtained a diagram from Ji Ning called the Nuwa Visualization Diagram. This visualization diagram depicted the most virtuous and most sacred Pangu Goddess, Nuwa.

In the Desolate Era Realm, this one was exceedingly powerful. Ever since Pangu perished opening heaven and earth, only Goddess Nuwa had been able to reach Pangu's level. She had comprehended eighty-four thousand Daos, and was indisputably the supreme, unrivaled foremost existence of the Three Realms.

Fang Yu resolved to present this being's visualization diagram as a birthday gift to Exalted Linglong.

Of course, it could not be merely this one visualization diagram.

Upon this Nuwa Visualization Diagram, Fang Yu also manifested other marvels, such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art of the Perfect World, and the Nine Secrets of the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

The entire scroll he forged with the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi, supplemented with the Spirit God Stone — one of the four great strange stones between heaven and earth — along with numerous other rare treasures of heaven and earth.

Upon Feather Peak, Fang Yu thus began to refine the treasure.

With his current realm, he could refine a low-grade Dao Weapon, and could also refine a mid-grade Dao Weapon. However, the gift for Exalted Linglong did not require the forging of any weapon spirit.

After refining for several days, with Exalted Linglong's grand longevity celebration drawing ever nearer, Fang Yu finally succeeded in refining this visualization diagram, and then his gaze turned toward Feather Peak.

His senior sister, Fang Qingxue, was not on Feather Peak. In these past few days she had also broken through to the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm, causing a tremendous shock throughout Yuhua Sect. The Three Saints of Yuhua had stepped forward and bestowed great benefits upon this senior sister of his.

However, this senior sister held little interest in Exalted Linglong's longevity celebration. She had already left Feather Peak, seemingly heading to the Doom Graveyard to seek some opportunity.

Feng Yaoguang was also not present; she had gone out following Fang Qingxue.

Fang Han was still here, though. He had broken through outside to the Longevity Second Stage Immortal Body Realm. In the past, this would certainly have shaken the Xuanhuang Great World, and he would have had to host a banquet inviting cultivators from all the Xiandaoshi Sect to celebrate. But now, two absolute geniuses had already cultivated to the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm, and by comparison, the Longevity Second Stage Immortal Body Realm amounted to little.

Of course, what was even more important was that the timing of Fang Han's advancement to the Immortal Body Realm coincided with the approach of Exalted Linglong's grand longevity celebration. Even if he were to host a banquet now and invite any Immortal Dao Elders, those Elders would all be busy.

Nevertheless, Fang Han had also earned the attention of the Three Saints of Yuhua. He had gone to the Yuhua Heavenly Palace and received some rewards, and his status had risen further — he had been promoted to Vice Sect Master of Yuhua Sect, enjoying the same standing as a Supreme Elder.

"Junior Brother Fang Han, since Senior Sister Qingxue and Junior Sister Yaoguang are not here, let us head to Linglong Blessed Land to offer birthday congratulations to Exalted Linglong."

Fang Yu spoke.

"Yes, Senior Brother Yu. Speaking of which, we can bring Little Star Cloud along this time. While you were in closed-door cultivation these past few days, Little Star Cloud also came to our Yuhua Sect."

Fang Han said with a smile, and as he spoke, this big baby, Little Star Cloud, came out to greet Fang Yu.

"Brother Fang, hehe, long time no see. Big Brother's strength has improved so fast — you've already cultivated to the Grotto-Heaven Realm. When my daddy heard about it, he said your cultivation speed is a genius rarely seen in ten million years across the Xuanhuang Great World."

Little Star Cloud was still a chubby child, but his body now displayed a rather impressive aura. He was only one step away from triggering the Wind-Fire Great Tribulation, and his current cultivation base was at the peak of the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm.

"Little Star Cloud, your cultivation base is also quite impressive — only one step away from passing the Wind-Fire Great Tribulation. Come with me; let us go to Linglong Blessed Land."

Fang Yu smiled, and upon seeing this Little Star Cloud, a smile appeared on his face.

This little fellow seemed to cultivate with extraordinary ease. Without any fanfare, he had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm. With a bit more accumulation, he could pass the Wind-Fire Great Tribulation, and achieving the Heaven and Earth Dharma Phase would pose no difficulty at that point.

As they spoke, Fang Yu stepped forward, and the endless void split apart directly.

With a single step, Fang Yu brought Fang Han and Little Star Cloud to the sea.

This was the might of the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm.

If Fang Yu's cultivation base were only at the Longevity Second Stage Immortal Body Realm, even though he had cultivated the Great Teleportation Art and the Great World Art among the Three Thousand Great Daos, he would still need a certain amount of time to teleport. But now that his cultivation base had reached the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm, the endless void and endless other-dimensional spaces were all within his perception. He only needed to step forward, and he could traverse countless realms, descending directly above the great sea.

"Brother Fang is so strong! If I were to go to Linglong Blessed Land, I'd probably have to fly for several months."

Little Star Cloud's eyes widened greatly.

"Senior Brother Yu's speed is indeed astonishing. Is this the might of the Grotto-Heaven Realm? It seems I must also strive to advance to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"

Fang Han's heart was full of admiration as well. This technique of cleaving the void and traversing the void could only be performed by a master of the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm. No other realm, even if one had mastered some Great Dao, could possibly take a single step and travel from Yuhua Sect to Linglong Blessed Land. Such speed was simply too fast.

From now on, wherever Senior Brother Fang Yu wished to temper himself in the Xuanhuang Great World, he could go there to temper himself. Even if he wished to temper himself in any other Great World, he could reach that Great World to temper himself. As long as there was sufficient opportunity, he would surely obtain countless benefits.

"Sun Zi, is this the location of Linglong Blessed Land? Why can we never fly there?"

Just at this moment, the voices of several cultivators came from not far away. Those cultivators, each and every one arrogant and high-spirited, with sword-brows and starry eyes, were clearly also experts who had come to offer birthday congratulations.

However, a young man who had cultivated to the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, seeing the beautiful scenery ahead, felt that no matter how he flew, he seemed unable to fly past it, and was immediately somewhat curious.

"Wu Li, this is Linglong Blessed Land. However, legend has it that Linglong Blessed Land is hidden within a certain void. Unless we comprehend the mysteries here, it is impossible for us to enter Linglong Blessed Land."

The man addressed as "Sun Zi" by a disciple spoke.

This "Sun Zi" had already reached the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm, and had begun to study formations. Within his body he had cultivated ten great formations — clearly also an absolute genius of some faction.

"Ah, then how should we be able to enter? Hidden within another void? Wouldn't that mean we could never enter Linglong Blessed Land in our entire lives?"

A look of dejection appeared on "Wu Li's" face.

This "Wu Li" had only reached the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, Daoist Gang Qi Realm. In the Cultivation World he could be considered an expert, but he had not comprehended the Dao of Yin and Yang, nor had he comprehended the principles of Heaven and Man. It was simply impossible for him to enter Linglong Blessed Land.

"Do not be anxious! If this were in the past, let alone us, even if a giant of the Longevity Secret Realm came, I fear they could not enter Linglong Blessed Land. But these past few days are the Immortal's grand longevity celebration. On the day of her grand longevity celebration, there will surely be some flaws in the void here. Once I find the flaw in the space ahead, we will certainly be able to enter. When I enter, I will naturally bring all my junior brothers and sisters into Linglong Blessed Land."

"Sun Zi" was brimming with confidence, carefully examining the void before him.
