"Fortunately I calculated earlier, using the pill aura to stimulate some profound subtleties of the Wings of Freedom, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Fang Han sat upright within the boundless evil aura, extremely steady. On one hand, he operated his arts to regulate his breathing and absorbed the evil aura; on the other hand, he secretly pondered the experience from the battle with "Gu Meng" just now.
This was his first time truly exchanging blows with a "Peerless Golden Immortal". Both sides executed absolute kill grand arts. If not for being inside the "Fallen Evil Valley", Fang Han believed that there still remained a disparity between him and a Peerless Golden Immortal.
However, the opponent's "Undying King Fist" and its six forms "Dirge of the Nether God", "Boundless Deceased", "Innately Unaging", "Myriad Eras Unempty", "True Spirit Undying", and "Homeless Soul", every variation in each move, mutually corroborated with the Seven Forms of Adjudication and various martial arts, all flowed through Fang Han's heart one by one.
His comprehension towards martial arts entered a new level and dimension once again.
The rolling evil aura entered his body. Firstly, it was absorbed by the Ancestral Witch Mirror, and secondly, absorbed by the Holy Gate of Ending. The two great vitalities alternated, becoming increasingly vigorous.
The only minor imperfection was that there were no spiritual veins inside this Fallen Canyon, which is to say, there was no Origin Qi supplied for absorption.
No matter what kind of immortal was cultivating, Origin Qi was required. For Fang Han right now especially, the Origin Qi needed was even more. Unleashing thirty-three times combat power required it, and cultivating to Golden Immortal required it even more.
What a pity, that spiritual vein collected from Mount Mang was far from enough.
Executing thirty-three times combat power a few more times would consume it empty.
"Origin Qi, I need more Origin Qi!" Fang Han sighed with feeling in his heart.
"Fang Han, why don't you go to the Tianquan Sect, borrow their Ancient Spring of Life, and condense to reach Golden Immortal?" Yan suddenly asked: "The Tianquan Sect seems to want to try their best to rope you in. The spiritual vein of that Ancient Spring of Life is extremely vigorous. As long as you enter closed-door cultivation inside it, arriving at Golden Immortal is not an impossible matter."
"I don't trust anybody." Fang Han said coldly: "Advancing to Golden Immortal is extremely dangerous, with abnormal phenomena presenting diversely. The massive amount of Origin Qi consumed is also beyond what we can imagine. Especially since my accumulations are vigorous, once I advance, I fear it will be equivalent to two or three Golden Immortals advancing simultaneously, and the Ancient Spring of Life spiritual vein might also face depletion. The Tianquan Sect absolutely will not allow such a situation to occur. Moreover, humans all have greed. If, when I advance, that Wang Yan pulls some tricks inside the ancient spring spiritual vein, thoroughly sealing and suppressing me, I suspect even dying would be difficult."
"Indeed, this point is worth considering. Inside the ancient spring spiritual vein, who knows how many absolute kill grand arrays the Tianquan Sect has laid out, there might even be some power of ancient sages inside. A single misstep, being sneak-attacked while cultivating within it, all bitter efforts would be destroyed in one day, and all personal destiny would be plundered by others." Yan nodded his head: "Then what do you do now? Without massive Origin Qi to support you, you cannot possibly advance to Golden Immortal. According to your current cultivation, absorbing the free-floating Origin Qi in the void, who knows what year or month it would take. You still have to plunder a spiritual vein, or kill people to plunder Origin Pills."
"Killing people to plunder Origin Pills is an utterly inadequate measure. Killing Shang Ziluo only yielded some six hundred million Origin Pills. The vitality I need to cultivate to Golden Immortal will be more than six hundred billion. Do I have to kill a thousand Shang Ziluos?" Fang Han licked his lips.
"Indeed, a Golden Immortal is unparalleled through the ages. Often, within a major sect, only one Golden Immortal emerges, because the spiritual vein is only enough for one Golden Immortal to advance. Not to mention a Golden Immortal like you?"
Yan deeply knew the terror of Golden Immortals.
One Golden Immortal could basically serve as the ruler of a large prefecture, looking down proudly upon billions of immortals. Even the Heavenly Court, towards a Golden Immortal, would not casually bully or humiliate them.
A Golden Immortal could act as a feudal lord of the Immortal Realm.
Precisely because a Golden Immortal's strength was formidable, advancing was unimaginably difficult. Even with a Golden Immortal's aptitude, without that much Origin Qi to advance, it was also in vain.
Relying solely on a rogue cultivator, without the support of a major sect, trying to cultivate into a Golden Immortal, was impossible.
Even though Fang Han had now obtained countless fortuitous encounters, it was also difficult to gather the Origin Qi required for his advancement to Golden Immortal.
Yan was now also without a single countermeasure.
"Then Fang Han, what do you plan to do now?"
"I don't have any plans, going to the Central Prefecture, and entering the Yuhua Sect. The lands of the Central Prefecture are a central part close to the Celestial Realm. Compared to Quan Prefecture, it is vastly broader by an unknown number of times, and the spiritual veins are also exceedingly numerous. I obtained Shang Ziluo's memories, and know the strength of the Yuhua Sect is a kingly major sect; compared to the Tianquan Sect, it is an unknown number of times more powerful. Among them, spiritual veins are also extremely numerous, and the Origin Qi is dense. Furthermore, stored in the treasuries of the Yuhua Sect are divine mountains condensed from the most ancient Origin Qi."
Fang Han spoke pausing at every word: "Moreover, the Yuhua Sect is now widely recruiting talents, taking in some genius rogue cultivators into the sect, providing them with vitality. As long as one is a talent, they can enter within and receive cultivation. Unstead of wandering outside doing nothing, it is better for me to enter the Yuhua Sect, obtain an identity as a disciple once again; this way I can cultivate safely and securely, and also comfortably obtain Origin Qi. With my methods, slightly displaying some genius aptitude, entering the Yuhua Sect and receiving heavy responsibilities, is ultimately only a matter of time."
"What?" Yan said: "But you killed Shang Ziluo, and moreover you have the identity of a wanted criminal in the Celestial Realm. Furthermore, the reputation of your Heng Budong identity has already spread out. It is possible that people might trace it."
"I will change to a new identity." Fang Han said: "In any case, Golden Immortal experts cannot see through my identity."
"Within the Yuhua Sect, I fear there are even more formidable experts, existences surpassing Golden Immortals…"
"That is of no consequence either; those old antiques and living fossils generally will not show their faces. They are either outside searching for treasures, or cultivating bitterly inside their exclusively created kingdoms. They have no free time to concern themselves with existences beneath Golden Immortals." Fang Han carefully scoured through Shang Ziluo's memories, extracting some information regarding the Celestial Realm's Yuhua Sect from them. Through deliberation, he came up with a foolproof plan.
His body underwent continuous transformations. Streams of intense light shot out from the Disc of Reincarnation, fundamentally remodeling his temperament and facial appearance. Subsequently, he transformed into a young man with a mediocre appearance, bearing a somewhat stiff and slow-witted aura. However, upon closer inspection, there was a flavor of great wisdom appearing foolish, and it also belonged to a type of genius.
This was the efficacy of the "Reincarnation Incarnation Formula". Ever since Fang Han mastered the Great Reincarnation Technique and the Reincarnation of All Heavens, his application of the Disc of Reincarnation had become increasingly profoundly abstruse.
"What name should I give this appearance? Well, my reentering the Yuhua Sect can be called fate and karma; entangled with unclear grievances and resentments regarding the Yuhua Sect in this lifetime, let's just call it Feng Yuan. The Feng of Feng Baiyu."
Fang Han suddenly thought of Feng Baiyu, wondering whether he along with Linglong Immortal Venerable, Mibao, and some others, had ascended to the Celestial Realm or not. Or if they were cultivating in hiding in the secular world.
However, cultivating again in the secular world, undergoing closed-door cultivation for thousands and millions of years, seemed to have little potential; it was far less swift than coming to the Celestial Realm to do cultivation. Even finding a tiny spiritual vein in the most remote place was ten thousand times better than the finest sacred land in the secular world.
"I wonder what mentality those people in the secular world, who stubbornly refuse to ascend, truly have?" Fang Han shook his head.
"Good, Fang Han, then let's set off right now? Go to the Central Prefecture's Yuhua Sect?"
"No hurry, I must make flawless preparations. Staying a little more time inside this evil cavern, cultivating arcane arts, I generally feel that the treasures inside this evil cavern are not limited to those nine gourds of King-grade pills. What a pity I've persistently been unable to locate them. Right now I lack wealth; if I could discover a batch of treasures and sell them later to exchange for Origin Pills, that would be good too."
Fang Han spoke detailedly: "However, right now I have not discovered any traces of a treasure. Perhaps the time for the treasure to emerge into the world has not arrived yet. It's better to first refine the Wings of Freedom into a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact."
The Wings of Freedom, although not a treasure adept at attacks, was best suited for escaping and flying.
Moreover, once refined into a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, it would similarly receive the blessing from the true Wings of Freedom. At that time, Fang Han would grasp another supreme Dharma formulation.
"Pill aura charging the skies!"
Integrating the Wings of Freedom into his natal universe, Fang Han opened the lids of all eight gourds. Discharging rolling pill aura from within, some Golden Immortal Laws merged into it.
The Wings of Freedom immediately underwent a qualitative change in essence.
The twin wings spread apart, extending in all directions. Fang Han's cultivation also expanded along with it. Tumbling essence qi was injected inside. Various techniques, runic characters, and materials were all completely driven into it. Some of the sage intents of the Ancient Spring of Life, which Fang Han had absorbed quite a few of, were also transformed into the power of freedom.
Having killed Shang Ziluo, Fang Han obtained quite a few artifact-refining materials, which were all brought out now to serve as materials for the advancement of the Wings of Freedom.
This person Shang Ziluo had intended to refine the "Staff of Legends" into an immortal artifact, bringing countless materials tailored to refine a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, which completely advantaged Fang Han at once.
Amidst waves of vitality fluctuations, the wingspan of the Wings of Freedom widened greater and greater. Upon every inch of the wings, a microscopic universe was sculpted, condensing endless cosmic storms.
Boom!
When Fang Han drove eighty percent of the pill aura and a thousand hundred traces of Golden Immortal Laws from the nine gourds into the Wings of Freedom, he suddenly sensed the main body of the true Wings of Freedom from the deep depths of the Celestial Realm.
That was a pair of chaos-colored wings. The twin wings spreading open covered billions of the Celestial Realm's parallel kingdoms. Within every single feather wing, a thousand and hundred parallel divine kingdoms were harbored.
Every parallel divine kingdom was as massive as a Great World.
With a casual beat of that pair of wings, the trillion and billions of parallel divine kingdoms all emitted radiance. Facing the wings within this intent, Fang Han's intent could only look up and venerate.
This was the true unbridled soaring taking me as the hero.
"Only a Peerless-grade Immortal Artifact like the Wings of Freedom is already unimaginably formidable. I wonder what exact form a Creation Divine Artifact from the legends takes? Also, what form does the Gate of Eternal Life, which surpasses Creation Divine Artifacts, take?"
Fang Han was puzzled in his heart.
Although he was familiarized with the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life through Fang Hanxue, after all, he had never laid eyes upon the true Gate of Eternal Life himself. An eternal inability to imagine what kind of existence and miracle that was.
"Yet another avatar of mine has been forged successfully; incredibly good. In the name of freedom, I bestow upon you…"
From within the true Wings of Freedom, an ancient intent was transmitted.
A clump of crystal light arrived from the void, and blessed upon the Mid-grade Immortal Artifact Wings of Freedom.
