"What, you want to sell yourself!"
That Yaqiong finally heard Fang Han's words clearly; he wanted to take on missions in the Hongqi Tower to earn Primordial Pills and spirit veins. She had just wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the last sentence, she was greatly startled, looking at Fang Han as if looking at some sort of bizarre object.
"You'd even take on missions to assassinate Golden Immortals?"
She widened her eyes.
"What? You don't do this business? My abilities, you have roughly seen. There are no abilities worth challenging in the Yuhua Sect, and within the Yuhua Sect, I have a lot of strength that I cannot display, my hidden killer moves also have to be mindful of many things, but in the Hongqi Tower, I won't have so many concerns."
Fang Han laughed heartily: "Do you really think I can't assassinate a Golden Immortal?"
"This… this is not something I can determine. I have to report it to the higher-ups." Yaqiong led Fang Han into a quiet room. Here burned the Buddha fat of half-step Golden Immortal almighty Buddhas; the faint fragrance was pleasant and full of Zen intent.
"Alright." Fang Han sat down indifferently, picked up a bowl of tea and drank it, watching this Yaqiong hurriedly leave.
This tea had a rich, bitter and astringent taste, not knowing what it was made of. Upon drinking it into the body, the various divine kingdom crystals in Fang Han's body seemed to have a feeling of expansion; it was actually a type of tea leaves containing peculiar properties.
However, this was a good thing, not toxic.
"Daoist brother Feng Yuan, do you really want to join our Hongqi Tower?"
Before long, a flash of golden light passed by, and the true presider of this Hongqi Tower, the peerless Golden Immortal "Venerable Juexing", walked over. There was some composure on his face.
When his gaze fell upon Feng Yuan, his face paled in great shock: "What Dharma body have you cultivated? How is it so miraculous? It seems there isn't the slightest bit of flesh and blood body? Transformed into a wonderful kind of crystal? If I hadn't seen earlier that you are a human, I would definitely have thought you were a peerless magic treasure transformed."
"Is that so?" Fang Han said noncommittally: "I have cultivated a precious body passed down from antiquity, specifically used to block that Alaya Sword of Chenxin later on."
"Alaya Sword…" Hearing this name, Venerable Juexing's eyelids clearly twitched a bit: "The peerless genius of the Yuhua Sect, Chenxin. His swordsmanship has long spread across countless major provinces, even the older generation of peerless Golden Immortals are highly apprehensive of it. If this person advances to Golden Immortal, then he will absolutely be the enemy of countless Golden Immortals. Who knows how many older generation Golden Immortals will fall by his hands."
"The Alaya Sword is nothing spectacular either." Fang Han smiled. He was qualified to say this, because a few days ago, he faced off against Chenxin, taking a sword strike from the other party forcefully, without a single hair harmed.
Venerable Juexing had also received this news early on. He felt that even if it were himself, without prior precaution, he might not necessarily be able to receive that Alaya sword strike.
"Little Daoist friend Feng Yuan really wants to join our Hongqi Tower?"
"Not join, but serve as a guest elder, just to earn some extra income." Fang Han waved his hand, "I don't want to be bound by the Hongqi Tower. If you have any thorny missions that cannot be completed, you can hand them to me."
"Let me think about it…" Venerable Juexing's gaze flickered a bit. With his hands behind his back, he seemed to fall into thought.
But Fang Han suddenly felt an immense danger enveloping his mind. Boundless air currents came rushing, like the fierce sun in the sky exploding, rivers of stars snapping; a massive kingdom swept him inside.
He saw that Venerable Juexing had actually launched a sure-kill strike against him silently.
A peerless Golden Immortal, executing a life-and-death sneak attack.
"Ending Walk Under Heaven, God Wars in the Wild!"
Rumble!
Venerable Juexing, like an immemorial heavenly god, struck out a move, "God Wars in the Wild". The surroundings were vast, the plains expansive and infinitely breeding; gods and humans walked within it, fighting each other, blood dyeing the dark yellow.
This move was even far more formidable than the last move of that "Undead King Fist", "Homeless Soul".
"Hmph!"
Fang Han's body rebounded fiercely. With a casual swing, a boundless dragon force shattered the kingdom enveloping him. Grabbing in the air, the ten-clawed prehistoric Ancestral Dragon hand violently slapped out, executing the Dragon Race's peerless martial art, a host of dragons without a head, heaven and earth great fortune.
This move held profound mysteries. Back in the secular world, Fang Han had only comprehended the surface. Now having entered the Heavenly Realm, refining the main tower body of the Eight Sections Pagoda into a mid-grade immortal artifact, he began to comprehend the profoundness.
Countless dragon forces danced wildly in the air, seemingly chaotic, yet containing the trajectory of heaven, like heavenly marks radiating in all directions.
"Buzz!"
With an explosion of qi force, that sneak attack move of God Wars in the Wild by Venerable Juexing was completely and cleanly broken by Fang Han. He retreated several steps continuously, each step being the distance of a distant kingdom, making Fang Han unable to launch a counterattack against him.
However, Fang Han had absolutely no intention of counterattacking, but simply sat broadly and steadily: "Venerable Juexing, are you satisfied with this sneak attack? Do I have the qualifications to be the bane for the Hongqi Tower? Moreover, it won't be long before I advance to peerless Golden Immortal. With my current strength, once I advance to peerless Golden Immortal, you should also be able to estimate just how tyrannical my strength exactly is."
"Dragon Race martial arts! You are a person of the Dragon Race?" said Venerable Juexing.
"Guess as you please." Fang Han smiled, his face not red, his heart not skipping a beat, his expression natural: "Now, Venerable Juexing, have you considered it well?"
"Good, I will immediately take you to the upper echelons of our Hongqi Tower to meet with the many Venerables. This time, our Hongqi Tower has a mission that requires mobilizing Venerables to siege and kill an expert Dragon Race Golden Immortal who has just ascended. The danger is immense. Since you have the skill to contend with a Golden Immortal, then go together with us."
Venerable Juexing truly acknowledged Fang Han's abilities now.
Moreover, he suspected Fang Han was a person of the Dragon Race, so taking him to eradicate an ascended peerless Golden Immortal powerhouse of the Dragon Race was a testing attitude.
"Good! To have such a good mission!"
Fang Han was overjoyed, "I want to refine a supreme treasure of the Dragon Race, and exactly need the blood of a Dragon Race peerless Golden Immortal. If I can acquire it, my Dragon Race magic treasure will reach grand completion. When that time comes… Haha! Venerable Juexing, you have really found the right person this time. That Dragon Race supreme treasure I am refining has an extremely powerful restraining effect on the Dragon Race. If you want to deal with the Dragon Race, you must seek me."
"A magic treasure with a massive restraining effect on the Dragon Race? Could it be… the Eight Sections Pagoda?"
Venerable Juexing wondered.
"That's right, it is exactly this magic treasure." Fang Han smiled faintly: "Above his head flew out a radiantly shining precious tower, streaks of dragon-shaped astral qi dancing everywhere."
The Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasure was deeply hidden inside the Eight Sections Pagoda, not revealing itself; nobody could see through it.
"No wonder, no wonder you have such power." Venerable Juexing sighed: "However, this precious item, currently no dragons can successfully refine it anymore. Ever since the prehistoric Ancestral Dragon disappeared, the source qi of the Dragon World underwent fluctuations. It is rumored that the supreme powerhouses of the Dragon Race, refine one and one explodes. But in the Heavenly Realm there are some grand experts who succeeded in refining it; they utilized various Daoist magics from the previous universe, existing beyond the Three Thousand Great Daos, to stabilize the source qi, and thus succeeded in refining."
"I also utilized some residual Daoist magics from the previous universe to successfully refine this precious item." Fang Han withdrew the Eight Sections Pagoda again, merging it into his body.
He knew long ago that there were some powerhouses in the Heavenly Realm who had also refined the Eight Sections Pagoda.
Unlike the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasure. This precious item, the Eight Sections Pagoda, was still slightly more open; there was no lack of experts refining it. So it could be exposed.
However, the success rate of refining this magic treasure was extremely difficult. It was rumored that a significant figure in the Heavenly Realm continuously refined it more than ten times, painstakingly gathering materials, but every time he refined it, it exploded, blowing him full of injuries.
Refining this thing was purely a matter of luck, as well as the various wondrous methods left behind from the previous universe.
Fang Han succeeded in refining it precisely because he had the Ancestral Shaman Mirror, as well as the talisman of the World Honored Constantly At Ease King Buddha to stabilize the source qi.
"Good, very good. No wonder your strength would be this powerful, so you refined the nearly impossible to succeed Eight Sections Pagoda. This will be exceedingly helpful for us to behead that Dragon Race expert. Let's go!" Venerable Juexing was overjoyed.
"Hold on! What about the reward?" Fang Han did not fly up.
"The reward is easily discussed. This time that Dragon Race expert is an ancestor of the Dragon World, named Ao Shizun, being at the absolute pinnacle of Golden Immortal. After ascending from the Dragon World, who knows how many immortals he has beheaded. There are even seven or eight Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court who have fallen by his hands. He is elusive and traceless, with extremely strong power. Ordinary Golden Immortals are simply not his match." Venerable Juexing said: "Of course, this is an unusually dangerous matter. Be prepared for deaths at any time. If you die, do not blame us. Furthermore, a life-and-death document must be signed, because you are now a true inheritance disciple of the Yuhua Sect, your status is different. In case the Yuhua Sect comes to find trouble with us, that would also be exceedingly troublesome. Naturally, if successful, you can obtain a reward of at least five second-tier spirit veins!"
"Five second-tier spirit veins!"
Fang Han was greatly startled: "So many! That Dragon Race expert is formidable! To actually be of such high value."
Deep in his heart it began to boil. If he could obtain five second-tier spirit veins, then the Primordial Qi to advance to peerless Golden Immortal would be enough.
"Of course exceptionally formidable. That dragon has already begun to comprehend the Dao of Ancestor. The reason he slaughters and plunders so wantonly is precisely wanting to advance to Ancestral Immortal." Venerable Juexing said solemnly.
"Experts of the Dragon Race are inherently much more formidable than human cultivators. Golden Immortals of the Dragon Race are also more formidable than human Golden Immortals, especially this kind of existence that has advanced to the peak of Golden Immortal; who knows how many Golden Immortal laws he contains?" Fang Han pondered in his heart, feeling that it was indeed extremely dangerous, but he still had to give it a desperate fight. Anyway, he wouldn't be killing him alone.
"Alright!" Fang Han finally nodded, "Let's go."
"Straightforward!" Venerable Juexing took out a life-and-death document, let Fang Han sign it, and then the two suddenly flew up, tearing the void, advancing towards the depths of the Hongqi Tower, arriving in a teleportation array.
Fang Han's mind stirred; he didn't expect the Hongqi Tower to also have its own teleportation array. In his heart, he couldn't help but look upon this organization a bit higher.
