Chapter 276

"How long can this Student Fang hold on?"

Outside the dark door, Nangong Xue leaned against the pitch-black wall, her eyes turning into vertical pupils in an instant, and she licked her lips with some anticipation.

Her tongue was a fresh, tender pink, but the tip was forked, and both ends were very flexible.

Ten minutes later, the pitch-black door opened.

Fang Xing walked out, a trace of lingering fear on his face: "That darkness... Moon God?!"

"Mm, ever since the academy accepted the Moon God's remains, the Obelisk's 'methods' have changed..."

Nangong Xue nodded earnestly: "Actually, I prefer the previous sea of blood; it's like a sauna, and every time after, I feel my bones are several pounds lighter..."

'If the bones are several pounds lighter, that would mean death...'

Fang Xing muttered to himself, understanding that the Obelisk was the essence.

As for what kind of evil deity pollution is used to polish the Jin Gang physique, it doesn't matter at all!

"What is Student Fang planning to do next?"

Nangong Xue had already returned to her previous rustic image and asked timidly.

"Go up a few more floors to take a look... By the way, does the academy have requirements for cultivation time?"

Fang Xing asked.

"No... but for outside Jin Gang martial artists, it's best not to exceed one day for the first cultivation. Furthermore, don't go to the higher floors..."

Nangong Xue reminded: "Jin Gang martial artists of this academy can relax the conditions a bit... Which floor do you want to go to?"

On her face behind the glasses, she did not hide a certain anticipation.

"The... fifth floor."

Fang Xing came to the elevator and went up with Nangong Xue.

The elevator inside the Obelisk seemed to shift space directly, without the slightest feeling of weightlessness.

After swiping the card again, he entered a cultivation room similar to the previous one.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, feeling the darkness surging over.

This time, he directly closed his Jin Dan Dharma Domain, letting the infinite darkness wrap around his Martial Way Golden Body.

Crack!

Crack!

A tooth-aching sound of gnawing came out.

The darkness, which was enough to gnaw a low-rank Jin Gang martial artist to death, did not leave the slightest trace on his body.

Even a string of sparks appeared.

"Refreshing!"

Fang Xing opened his eyes: "It feels like a sauna massage... Changing to the first floor is simply like an itch."

Through this all-around 'wearing away', he could easily discover the shortcomings and flaws of his Martial Way Golden Body, gradually polishing it to 'no-leak'.

As the cultivation time continuously extended, Fang Xing even felt an inexplicable pressure entering his body.

It was thin and wispy, appearing and disappearing, and was absorbed by the 'Gate of Heavens' in the attribute panel.

'This is... the power of the Obelisk?'

'I am now cultivating inside the Obelisk... sure enough, I will slowly absorb a bit of the Obelisk's origin power...'

'This feeling is somewhat similar to absorbing those few sacrificial vessels of the Gate School... although the amount is not large, it wins in persistence.'

Fang Xing's eyes brightened slightly.

If he could stay in the Obelisk for a long time and absorb this kind of origin power, combined with the several holy objects and sacrificial vessels of the Gate School he had already absorbed before.

Perhaps...

The third world of the Gate of Heavens was not far away!

'Of course, if I let go completely and swallowed the Obelisk directly, I should be able to open it immediately... but obviously, I would be beaten into a pig's head by Sword Saint Dean Jianqiu...'

Sword Saint Dean Jianqiu was skilled in the 'Star-Extinguishing Sword' and was a strong person who once extinguished a star with one sword!

Before reaching Martial Saint, or even obtaining his own Martial Saint mecha, Fang Xing did not want to provoke him.

It's very good like this now; ants moving house, a thin stream flowing for a long time.

Slowly waiting, it was enough to wait for his Gate of Heavens to be fully charged.

"So persistent?!"

Outside the cultivation room.

Nangong Xue, who had been waiting for half a day, had a look of surprise on her face, then revealed a brilliant smile: "Sure enough... I didn't misjudge the person..."

Cultivation World.

Time flies; ever since the Mu family sealed the mountain, ten years of time passed in a flash.

The acting head of the Mu family, False Dan Zhenren Mu Wan Zhang, was standing in the ancestral hall, silently staring at the soul lamp belonging to 'Mu Wanlong'.

Looking at the flame that could no longer be called a candle in the wind, but only a wisp remained, his heart felt complex and unspeakable: "Supreme Elder... you have truly exhausted your efforts for my Mu family, and you are still holding on to a breath to this day."

Well, ever since the soul lamps of Mu Wanlv, Mu Wandao, and others were extinguished one by one, the Mu family only had this one Jin Dan Zhenren, Mu Wanlong.

His seniority automatically rose, becoming the family's only Supreme Elder.

This was something Mu Wan Zhang had specially added; although it was of no use, it could barely boost morale.

He knew that the family's Supreme Elder was holding on to a breath for dear life!

As long as he didn't die and the Mu family sealed the mountain, there was still a glimmer of hope.

If they could hold on until a new Jin Dan practitioner appeared in the family, perhaps there would be a possibility of rising again in the future?

Mu Wan Zhang came to see Mu Wanlong's soul lamp almost every day.

He even had his heart prepared; if one day the Supreme Elder's soul lamp went out, he would definitely be the first to rush into the other party's cave dwelling, do everything to cover it up, and block the news...

Just at this moment, the spiritual energy of Mount Baihua fluctuated.

A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky; spiritual energy was like clouds, swarming over to form a huge, colorful vortex. The spiritual energy vortex continuously expanded, colorful and brilliant, instantly swelling to over a mile.

"Mm? Is it the family's quasi-fourth-rank spiritual energy cave dwelling?"

Mu Wan Zhang flew into mid-air and saw the landing point of the spiritual energy vortex, a look of joy appearing on his face: "Is it Qingshi preparing to form a Jin Dan?"

As a Jin Dan family, and even a former Nascent Soul family, the probability of spiritual roots appearing among the Mu family's descendants was not low.

Furthermore, they possessed a large amount of foundation, and there were also tiers of cultivation talents.

Although this generation had lost many Jin Dan and False Dan Zhenren, the next tier still had Jin Dan seeds!

This Mu Qingshi came from the Mu family's fifth branch and was a cultivation talent with Earth-grade fire spiritual roots!

Before the Mu family sealed the mountain, he was already a Foundation Establishment late-stage practitioner.

After the Mu family sealed the mountain, due to the loss of many high-level personnel, the warehouse had quite a few reserve resources, as well as vacated high-rank cave dwellings.

Mu Wan Zhang immediately made the decision to bestow the high-rank spiritual vein cave dwelling upon the outstanding ones among the Foundation Establishment practitioners.

Mu Qingshi lived up to expectations, cultivating from Foundation Establishment late-stage to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection realm in ten years, and was brave and diligent, directly attempting to form a Jin Dan!

'Qingshi probably knows in his heart... after the family sealed the mountain, it is difficult to go out to find opportunities to form a Jin Dan... continuing bitter cultivation is useless...'

'Taking advantage of the fact that he is the first Jin Dan seed of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, the Jin Dan opportunities accumulated by the family in the past will definitely be prioritized for his use...'

Otherwise, when the young Foundation Establishment practitioners in the family all reached cultivation perfection in the future, the inventory of Jin Dan spiritual items would definitely not be enough.

The further back it goes, the more embarrassed it will be; this is the helplessness of sealing the mountain!

Unless it is a last resort, no cultivation force would choose this path.

"Family Head!"

Two streams of light flew over; both were extremely old Foundation Establishment late-stage practitioners who had already given up on the idea of forming a Jin Dan.

"Qingshi's Jin Dan formation this time... the clan brought out a piece of 'Heavenly Fire Cloud Brocade', which can enhance the physique of fire spiritual root practitioners..."

"Besides that, the last 'Jin Dan Pill' treasured in the family was also bestowed; it should be successful."

A Foundation Establishment late-stage deacon comforted him.

"Just forming a Jin Dan is not enough... the downstream True Dan is not enough."

Mu Wan Zhang shook his head, somewhat bitterly: "This time the family has consumed most of the Jin Dan opportunities; I hope Qingshi can condense an upstream True Dan..."

Upstream True Dan practitioners can relatively easily break through the Jin Dan mid-stage bottleneck, and there is also hope for the Jin Dan late-stage.

Even, in the future, there is a faint possibility of condensing a Nascent Soul.

This is the Mu family's true hope!

As for Half-Step Jin Dan, or even Immortal Jin Dan?

Mu Wan Zhang didn't even dare to think like that in his dreams.

The previous Half-Step Jin Dan practitioner of the Mu family, Mu Qinglan, had prepared several top-tier Jin Dan spiritual items in one breath besides the Jin Dan Pill, and coupled with his overflowing talent, he barely condensed a Half-Step Jin Dan quality.

Even for that Jin Dan formation, the family invested a large amount of resources and didn't recover for decades.

As a result, after finally waiting for Mu Qinglan to ascend to Jin Dan late-stage, before he could awe the Dajing Cultivation World... he died in the Linlang Blessed Land.

When the news was first received, several clan elders who were nearing their limits couldn't catch their breath, or went into Qi deviation, and all followed him... it shows how tragic the blow to the Mu family was.

Mu Qinglan's fall seemed to be the beginning of the Mu family's decline from prosperity.

After that, it was an even darker period, with Jin Dan and False Dan Zhenren falling one after another.

Up to now, there was only one Jin Dan who was about to sit and transform, and one False Dan who was old and frail to hold the scene.

Every time Mu Wan Zhang thought of this, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife; at this moment, looking at the Jin Dan phenomenon, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"The range is over three miles..."

"Qingshi has Earth-grade spiritual roots, and also has a Jin Dan Pill and Jin Dan spiritual items; a False Dan is of course not a problem... a downstream True Dan should also not be able to trap him..."

A Foundation Establishment old man muttered.

Downstream True Dan, phenomenon of three miles.

Upstream True Dan, phenomenon of six miles.

Immortal Jin Dan, phenomenon of ten miles, with Great Dao mysterious sounds.

In the expectant eyes of the Mu family, the spiritual energy vortex continuously expanded, exceeding five miles, six miles...

"It's an upstream True Dan!"

Mu Wan Zhang was overjoyed: "Upstream True Dan, my Mu family has hope!"

Even, in the unbelievable eyes of everyone, the Jin Dan phenomenon continuously expanded; although slow, it gradually touched over eight miles...

Between heaven and earth, vague sounds of nature seemed to emerge.

"Back then, Mu Qinglan formed a Jin Dan, and the heavenly phenomenon was nine miles... nine is the extreme of numbers, which is Half-Step Jin Dan."

"Immortal Jin Dan requires breaking through the limit, which is difficult, very difficult... but Half-Step Jin Dan, could there be hope?"

Mu Wan Zhang's eyes were burning.

If it were a Half-Step Jin Dan, then in the future, there might not be no opportunity to impact the Nascent Soul!

If it could be done, he, Mu Wan Zhang, would definitely be the restorer of the Mu family, and the genealogy would have to open another page to record this great achievement!

Suddenly!

Just as the spiritual energy vortex was about to touch nine miles, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became unstable and began to collapse in large quantities.

A roar full of pain emerged.

Then, countless spiritual energy collapsed like an avalanche, and the speed was astonishingly fast.

From the original eight miles, it shrank to six miles, three miles...

Finally, only a one-mile spiritual energy vortex remained, slowly falling into that quasi-fourth-rank cave dwelling.

"This..."

"Jin Dan formation failed... barely condensed a False Dan? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

A Foundation Establishment deacon was old, and seeing this scene, he directly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, fell from mid-air, and had no more breath...
