"Sect Master, are you talking about that treasure? That treasure in the Fallen Evil Valley?"
A Half-Step Golden Immortal almighty asked in shock. "In our region of Quanzhou, there is this one treasure. That Fallen Evil Valley is eerie and terrifying, harboring the wills of many ancient sacred demons. Experts from many sects who went to investigate all died inside. The Sect Master of the Ancient Moon Sect, another major sect in our Quanzhou, went in personally and came out heavily injured."
"Indeed. That Sect Master of the Ancient Moon Sect is also a Golden Immortal expert and had a magical treasure for protection. Yet after entering the Fallen Evil Valley, he surprisingly could not keep himself entirely intact. He ultimately had to sacrifice a portion of his Golden Immortal laws and activate a final desolation move just to barely escape. Since then, the prestige of the Ancient Moon Sect plummeted, and they were thoroughly suppressed by our Heavenly Spring Sect." A Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Spring Sect said: "Sect Master, you absolutely must not take such a risk."
"I am not taking a risk; I wish to use a person with great destiny to seize some benefits from within the Fallen Evil Valley. Rumor has it that within that Evil Valley, aside from many immortal artifacts, the most coveted are the King-grade Immortal Pills refined by many ancient evil demons after plundering immortals." The Sect Master of Heavenly Spring said: "King-grade Immortal Pills must be refined by a Golden Immortal, and it also wastes a portion of their own Golden Immortal laws. Ordinary Golden Immortals would not be willing to damage their own cultivation to refine these pills. But ancient evil demons are different. They plundered heaven and earth, slaughtered Golden Immortal experts, and refined them into pills to groom disciples. If we obtain that batch of King-grade Pills within, all of you would stand a chance of becoming Golden Immortals!"
"Is that so? As long as there are King-grade Immortal Pills, we still have hope of becoming Golden Immortals."
Some Half-Step Golden Immortal almighties containing many Great Luo laws nodded repeatedly.
Who didn't want to cultivate into a Golden Immortal?
Among immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Divine Immortals, Mystic Immortals, and Half-Step Golden Immortals had a relatively low status in comparison. Once one crossed that threshold and stepped into the true Golden Immortal realm, their lifespan, power, and all forms of life would experience a qualitative leap, not to mention their status improving vastly, becoming an overlord of a region in the Immortal Realm.
"So you are saying, Sect Master, that you wish to borrow Heng Budong's destiny to enter the Fallen Evil Valley and obtain the King-grade Immortal Pills hidden within? But the Fallen Evil Valley is so dangerous, will he be willing to serve as our vanguard?"
"That is of no consequence. He surely also wishes to cultivate into a Golden Immortal, and our Heavenly Spring Sect can help block some troubles coming from the Heavenly Court for him." Wang Yan, the Sect Master of Heavenly Spring, calculated as he spoke: "In short, if he truly is a piece laid down by the Eternal Heavenly Lord, he will definitely not die so easily. Moreover, through my recent deductions, due to the God Race attacking the Heavenly Realm, much origin qi has experienced fluctuations, and the earth veins have slightly altered. The Fallen Evil Valley has also undergone some changes. Now is the best time to retrieve the treasure. If we are late and other sects get there first, our Heavenly Spring Sect won't even be able to preserve the ancient spring of life in the future."
"The situation is indeed severe." Some elders sighed one after another. "If other sects obtain a large number of King-grade Immortal Pills and promote several Golden Immortals, our Heavenly Spring Sect really will face extermination."
"With the God Race attacking the Heavenly Realm, a chaotic situation is on the verge of arriving. The Heavenly Court's influence over the Heavenly Realm will drop again. The future will be an era where warlords rise together and kings vie for supremacy. Our Heavenly Spring Sect must accumulate strength."
The Sect Master of Heavenly Spring made the final decision.
"Hmm? Look, that Heng Budong is cultivating! It actually produced various strange phenomena. It indeed harbors the aura of a grand figure. This aura… is supreme, it truly is a Heavenly Lord!"
Right at this moment, everyone saw that the Great Luo laws on Fang Han, who was cultivating inside the Life Spring Secret Room, suddenly retracted into his body, and a towering, blurry phantom rose from the top of his head.
This towering, blurry phantom exuded an extremely terrifying aura from its entire body, making all the heavens bow at its feet. This was clearly a trace of will and aura left inside Fang Han's body by a grand figure.
Genuine and undeniable.
"Hmph! After refining the Flesh and Blood Origin Womb of Chaos, a trace of will remained within my body. Emanating pressure upon them to let them know I truly am connected to a Heavenly Lord will suffice."
Fang Han silently circulated his divine abilities, absorbing the true qi of the ancient spring of life to temper his body, harmonize his Great Luo laws, and nourish his immortal artifacts. At the same time, he forced out a trace of Heavenly Lord of Chaos's will, manifesting its form.
Back then, when he was assaulting the Heavenly Immortal realm and descended upon the mysterious place in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Transformation Pool, he was almost killed. It was the will of Heavenly Lord of Chaos that protected him.
He could be considered an authentic inheritor of the Heavenly Lord of Chaos.
However, he did not manifest the true form of the Heavenly Lord of Chaos. Within this trace of will, he mixed in some aura from the Eternal True Self Unmoving Great Immortal Magic, creating a slight essence of Eternal aura to mask the Heavenly Lord's fundamental nature.
"That aura… it is too terrifying. My original will is trembling endlessly!" The Golden Immortal Sect Master of the Heavenly Spring Sect said in shock: "I have not had the fortune to see a Heavenly Lord, but I have seen a Supreme Immortal beneath a Heavenly Lord. Yet even a Supreme Immortal does not possess such a terrifying aura. It appears this Heng Budong is indeed the inheritor of a Heavenly Lord. No wonder he dared to casually humiliate Heavenly Court envoys, and even dared to harvest half of their Great Luo laws. However, the aura of this Heavenly Lord contains not only Eternal intent, but the aura is somewhat chaotic… Still, I have never had the fortune to see a Heavenly Lord with my own eyes. That coercion is unmistakable. It is absolutely that of a Heavenly Lord. Even if it is another Heavenly Lord, a Heavenly Lord is a Heavenly Lord, and absolutely cannot be offended."
A Heavenly Lord was almost the pinnacle of cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, the pinnacle that existed to this day.
As for realms above the Heavenly Lord, the Kings of Immortals who comprehended the fundamental origins like creation, origin, or truth, they could no longer be seen in the Heavenly Realm now, and many suspected these figures had already disappeared.
A Heavenly Lord, even a newly promoted Heavenly Lord, was absolutely an existence no one dared to offend. Let alone an ancient figure like the Eternal Heavenly Lord, who had lived for an unknown hundreds of millions of years.
"It seems this child is indeed worth pulling to our side. Let us observe exactly how his cultivation is."
Some grand figures of the Heavenly Spring Sect stared at him, observing Fang Han's cultivation level.
Boom!
Just at this moment, the Great Luo laws on Fang Han's body swelled up once again. Pure golden luster appeared upon them, actually carrying the aura of a Golden Immortal.
"This is the true law of a Golden Immortal." Many people's eyes went rigid. "No wonder he is so tyrannical. Could it be he received the imparted功 power from a Golden Immortal? Or what?"
"Hmph! These experts of the Heavenly Spring Sect must be watching me cultivate. By putting on all sorts of diverse phenomena on the surface, I can finally cultivate properly in secret."
At this very moment, Fang Han also used the Zhou Tian Instrument to observe some powerful auras, knowing that those Heavenly Spring Sect experts were watching while he was cultivating. He covertly circulated his mana, fiercely devouring the spirit vein of the ancient spring of life, while simultaneously circulating the essence qi in his body to condense one Great Luo law after another once again.
After cultivating into a Half-Step Golden Immortal almighty, he could use his own essence blood, origin qi, natal essence, and Origin Qi to undergo complex tempering and forge them through his Heavenly Heart consciousness into Great Luo laws.
The essence blood in his body was thick, and his origin was tyrannical. Combined with the dense Origin Qi of the ancient spring of life, deriving and cultivating Great Luo laws one after another was a hundred times easier for him than for an ordinary cultivator.
Every time he successfully refined one Great Luo law, he directly drove it into the Staff of Legend.
Whenever that Staff of Legend received a Great Luo law, it would vibrate once. Upon reaching the limit, ancient poems, magnificent chapters, heroic legends, and epic vastness all rippled within Fang Han's body, washing over his physical form wave after wave, turning him into an incarnation of legend.
The cultivation for a Half-Step Golden Immortal almighty consisted of continuously blending their own essence blood, origin qi, and natal Heavenly Heart consciousness to transform them into streaks of Great Luo laws.
For ordinary Half-Step Golden Immortal almighties, condensing a single Great Luo law required anywhere from a few months of bitter closed-door cultivation at the least, to several years at the most. But for Fang Han now, it only took a few hours to form one.
He had truly quieted his mind and entered closed-door cultivation.
Condensing a single Great Luo law required massive essence blood and origin qi. During this process, the Mystic Immortals sealed within the Heaven Mending Furnace—the Poisonous Hand Medicine King Ji Feng, the Master of the Great Benevolence Hall Ji Yun, and other figures from the Mang ancient alliance—were all converted into pure blood qi to supplement himself.
By the very end, the essence blood and true qi of these Mystic Immortals were exhausted, and Fang Han began to feel a lack of essence blood.
"It seems from now on, after killing immortals, I must put them into the Heaven Mending Furnace to be used as essence blood for refining Great Luo laws." Fang Han shook his head, wishing he could plunge right back into the army of the God Race right now and slaughter wantonly to collect essence blood and origin qi.
Inside his body, time was flowing rapidly. Before long, over a thousand Heavenly Realm years had passed.
However, his lifespan was vast, possessing nearly a million Heavenly Realm years. One could say that not even Golden Immortals possessed a lifespan as long as his. Only a full three days and three nights had passed on the outside, yet he had already cultivated for three thousand Heavenly Realm years.
That Staff of Legend had been condensed to the absolute peak by him!
"What a pity, it requires just one final push to transform the Staff of Legend into a mid-grade immortal artifact, but it requires expending my Golden Immortal laws, which is not worth it at all. If only I had a King-grade Immortal Pill right now."
Feeling pity in his heart, Fang Han stored away the Staff of Legend and stood up sharply in the quiet room. Immediately, true qi cascaded outward, the momentum incredibly fierce, causing all of space to tremble.
"What tyrannical might. After cultivating for so long, his mana has increased significantly once again." The numerous figures of the Heavenly Spring Sect were all shocked. The Sect Master of Heavenly Spring thought to himself: "If I make a move, although I could suppress this child, if he seizes an opportunity, it is still possible for him to escape. After all, this child seems to still have hidden strength he has not unleashed."
Fang Han did not reveal his thirty-three times combat power. If he showed it, every single expert of the Heavenly Spring Sect would likely treat him as a Golden Immortal outright.
But this was his trump card, and it was impossible for him to expose it. It was meant only to deliver a fatal blow at the most crucial moment.
"Hahahaha, little friend has achieved success in his cultivation. Our Heavenly Spring Sect has important matters to discuss. I request little friend to come over." With a humming sound, a golden passage appeared inside the quiet room.
"As expected, the Heavenly Spring Sect is looking for me for some purpose. I wonder what matter it is?" Fang Han stepped forward onto it, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the numerous experts of the Heavenly Spring Sect were gathered.
