Chapter 981: Hands That Can Pluck the Stars from the Sky—In This World, None Can Compare to Me

Above the Coiling Dragon Star, Fang Yu continued to refine the Eight Divisions Pagoda.

This supreme treasure of the dragon race was composed of nine magic treasures: the Bodhi Beads, the Mandate Sphere, the Wisdom King Axe, the Long Wang Ruler, the Evening Drum, the Morning Bell, the Heaven-Splitting Halberd, the Eight Divisions Furnace, and the pagoda body itself.

Just now, Fang Yu spent one hundred million Pure Yang Pills to alter the flow of time within the Chaotic Tower, refining the Eight Divisions Furnace into a mid-grade Dao Device. From then on, he possessed the first mid-grade Dao Device he had refined himself.

But to completely refine the Eight Divisions Pagoda to the level of a mid-grade Dao Device, he still needed to refine the Bodhi Beads, the Mandate Sphere, the Wisdom King Axe, the Long Wang Ruler, the Evening Drum, the Morning Bell, the Heaven-Splitting Halberd, and the pagoda body itself to the level of mid-grade Dao Devices.

This was a massive undertaking.

Fortunately, Fang Yu's cultivation base had already reached the Longevity Third Layer Grotto-Heaven Realm, and he was a supreme genius of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. His magic power was boundless, his divine abilities vast; he could indeed continuously refine for an entire year while remaining at the peak of his spirit, feeling no fatigue whatsoever.

This was precisely the powerful ability gained from cultivating numerous Great Dao divine abilities, such as the Great Origin Art, the Great Soul Art, the Great Life Art, the Great Five Elements Art, the Great Yin-Yang Art, and the Great Sealing Art. Otherwise, any other cultivator would find it utterly impossible to refine for an entire year at once; their entire physical body would likely be hollowed out, and their magic power utterly depleted.

Refining a Dao Device was a colossal undertaking.

Many experts of the Longevity Secret Realm who wished to refine a single low-grade Dao Device often needed a thousand years of refinement. While seeking out all manner of strange treasures of heaven and earth certainly required enormous time, the lack of sufficient magic power to sustain the process was also key. An ordinary Wan Shou Realm expert could only absorb and exhale one hundred Pure Yang Pills a day; after just a few days of refinement, their spirit would already be exhausted, and they would have to accumulate sufficient Xu Yuan Qi before they could refine successfully in one go.

Fang Yu remained spirited and energetic. When his divine sense flowed outward into the void, he saw that during this single day in the outside world, both Prince Yi and junior brother Fang Han had obtained excellent harvests. Thus, he continued to begin refining the next mid-grade Dao Device.

The Mandate Sphere.

This was the second mid-grade Dao Device Fang Yu refined.

This Dao Device possessed neither offensive power nor defensive power, but it did possess a power of deduction, as well as the function of shielding heavenly secrets. When Fang Yu channeled his magic power to refine this Mandate Sphere, he could even sense that this treasure seemed connected to the Dragon Realm in the unseen realm, and he could even sense certain intents within the Dragon Realm.

Numerous strange treasures of heaven and earth were seized by Fang Yu and refined into the Mandate Sphere. Fang Yu felt the connection between the entire treasure and the Dragon Realm grow ever tighter. Suddenly, the abundant Xu Yuan Qi of the Dragon Realm seemed drawn by the Mandate Sphere, pouring in torrents and descending into the Eight Divisions Pagoda.

Within the Eight Divisions Pagoda, the speed at which the Eight Divisions True Dragon Qi descended was actually more than double that before. Moreover, after passing through the Mandate Sphere, the abundant Eight Divisions True Dragon Qi seemed to transform into a kind of dragon-race talisman, which could be more easily absorbed by cultivators.

A supreme treasure.

Yet another supreme treasure.

Seeing such changes occur within the Eight Divisions Pagoda, Fang Yu's expression filled with joy. He continued to burn another one hundred million Pure Yang Pills, distorting the flow of time within the Chaotic Tower, and continued to refine this magic treasure.

Outside, Fang Han and Prince Yi felt as if they had arrived at a treasure mountain, happily seizing treasures. Upon this immensely vast star, treasures could be found practically everywhere—everywhere were the vast riches left behind by the dragon race. Heavenly-grade elixirs like the Dragon God Pill, absolute-grade treasures—all could be seen in the various ruins. This made Prince Yi deeply regret that last time he had not obtained any treasures at all; it was truly too foolish.

Meanwhile, within the Chaotic Tower, Fang Yu manifested the form of three thousand hands, continuing to refine treasure after treasure.

Mid-grade Dao Device, the Mandate Sphere is complete!

Mid-grade Dao Device, the Wisdom King Axe is complete!

Mid-grade Dao Device, the Heaven-Splitting Halberd is complete.

The Wisdom King Axe and the Heaven-Splitting Halberd, these two mid-grade Dao Devices, belonged to the purely destructive mid-grade Dao Devices within the Eight Divisions Pagoda. After Fang Yu spent vast quantities of strange treasures of heaven and earth to refine them to the level of mid-grade Dao Devices, the spirit artifacts of the two mid-grade Dao Devices each manifested extremely ferocious forms—one a Wisdom King, one a Heaven-Splitting Great God. Simply standing within the magic treasure, anyone could perceive their terrifying power. Each of these two purely slaughter-oriented great-power magic treasures possessed the strength of dozens of Primeval Heavenly Dragons, several times more powerful than an ordinary Undying Body titan.

Especially that Wisdom King; with the slightest movement, it seemed as if countless wrathful Wisdom Kings would appear, wielding a great axe and cleaving down with a thunderous crash, with nothing able to withstand it.

"Good, very good. The power of the Eight Divisions Pagoda is rising at extreme speed!"

Fang Yu gazed at the mid-grade Dao Devices refined one after another, continuing to refine within the Chaotic Tower.

This refinement of the Eight Divisions Pagoda truly consumed far too many Pure Yang Pills. Burning one hundred million Pure Yang Pills could transform one day in the outside world into a year, yet refining such mid-grade Dao Devices often required one or two years. If Fang Yu were not so immensely wealthy, he truly would not dare burn Pure Yang Pills so extravagantly to alter time in order to refine magic treasures.

Even Feng Feng Baiyu, upon hearing this, would say that Fang Yu was far too extravagant.

If one hundred million Pure Yang Pills were bestowed upon the disciples of the Yuhua Sect, who knew how many Physical Body Secret Realm disciples could be cultivated to advance into the Divine Ability Secret Realm!

But Fang Yu had to be responsible for his own cultivation first. In cultivation, oneself was the only thing, the first thing; everything else had to be pushed to the back of the line.

Fang Yu also somewhat understood why the Yuhua Sect, despite having many Supreme Elders and many Pure Yang Pills, did not bestow them upon the disciples of the Yuhua Sect, but instead let the disciples of the Yuhua Sect consume Essence Yuan Pills and Grain Grain Bigu Pills. Those Supreme Elders truly needed vast quantities of Pure Yang Pills for their own cultivation.

But then again, no matter how one looked at it, the Yuhua Sect was still somewhat stingy. If not supplying sufficient elixirs, at the very least they should supply basic elixirs.

If the Yuhua Sect had more Divine Ability Secret Realm disciples, that would certainly not be a bad thing. From among that vast base of Divine Ability Secret Realm disciples would emerge more Heavenly Man Realm experts, Jin Dan experts, and even Longevity Secret Realm experts. Experts bring up the next generation, and a Yigemen Sect would thus develop.

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Fang Yu was still refining magic treasures within the Chaotic Tower.

The Bodhi Beads, advanced to mid-grade Dao Device.

The Long Wang Ruler, advanced to mid-grade Dao Device.

The Evening Drum and Morning Bell, advanced to mid-grade Dao Device.

More and more magic treasures advanced to mid-grade Dao Devices, and the entire Eight Divisions Pagoda displayed increasingly more profound wonders. Especially after the Morning Bell and Evening Drum advanced to mid-grade Dao Devices, without Fang Yu channeling them, the Dao Devices spontaneously emitted exceedingly wondrous sounds that fell into the hearts of men, capable of cleansing the soul, allowing cultivators to fall into a state of spiritual emptiness, their spiritual power rising involuntarily.

It could be said that even a worthless person, possessing no ability to comprehend the Dao, under the blessing and baptism of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, after a few years would become a genius of Dao comprehension.

The blessing power of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum was immensely great, with countless benefits for a cultivator's cultivation!

Of course, these two mid-grade Dao Devices were not merely for blessing a cultivator's cultivation. When the Morning Bell and Evening Drum were channeled in another manner, the Zhong Sheng and drum sounds could also become killing Dao sounds. Wherever the Dao sounds flowed, even Wan Shou Realm titans, Undying Body titans, would instantly explode and die an unnatural death.

Mid-grade Dao Devices, incomparably powerful!

"Next, only the pagoda body remains."

Treasure after treasure was refined successfully. The Coiling Dragon Star was truly a treasure land, capable of providing Fang Yu with the materials to advance eight low-grade Dao Devices to mid-grade Dao Devices. Now, even more materials were entering the Eight Divisions Pagoda, causing it to undergo a further transformation.

This refinement was even more laborious than refining the other magic treasures. Within the Chaotic Tower, Fang Yu burned a full five hundred million Pure Yang Pills; that is to say, to refine this final pagoda body, he spent a full five years.

Originally his actual age was only around twenty, but after refining this Dao Device, Fang Yu's age had already reached around thirty.

Time flowed like running water. Fang Yu had spent over ten years refining magic treasures within the Chaotic Tower, finally causing this important treasure of the dragon race to undergo a complete transformation.

At the moment the pagoda body also became a mid-grade Dao Device, deep within the Eight Divisions Pagoda, a vortex suddenly appeared. Deep within this vortex was the true Dragon Realm. The rolling Eight Divisions True Dragon Qi had already taken on a liquid quality, descending through this vortex of the Dragon Realm.

At this moment, Fang Yu even felt that he could enter the Dragon Realm through this vortex, and his divine sense could also enter the Dragon Realm, sensing some of the powerful existences within it.

The splashing, splashing liquid Dragon Realm Xu Yuan Qi surged into the Eight Divisions Pagoda, entering those Heavenly Demons that the Abyss Demon Lord had given him. Immediately, each Heavenly Demon's body sprouted scales, gained the aura of the dragon race, and grew claws, seeming about to become a kind of Dragon Demon.
