This time, it could be said that Fang Han had profited immensely; the harvest was far, far too great.
Devouring Murong Shi's body this time brought him much more than all the experts he had devoured and refined before combined. Even the Three Dragons of Aoshi, plus the Nine-Headed Divine Ghost Golden Immortal, could not match half of Murong Shi's body.
Murong Shi's body had been entirely empowered by the Lord of the Jade Mansion, and the Golden Immortal laws had solidified to the point where even he could not activate them. If he were given half a year or a year, it was possible he could operate all the laws smoothly as he wished. It was a pity that before he could operate them, he was directly killed by Fang Han.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures required Golden Immortal laws to ascend to middle-grade immortal artifacts. His own crystal divine kingdoms required the supplementation of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to become more robust. Now, almost all of this was available.
As Fang Han devoured all the Golden Immortal laws, as well as the essence blood and vital energy in Murong Shi's body, his own self began to expand.
Even that "Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Existence Great Venerable Sword Art" was directly absorbed into Fang Han's body. His divine kingdom crystals began to change, forming an incomparably tight and intimate connection with the heaven and earth.
In a trance, his body shook violently. Countless crystal divine kingdoms integrated into one entity with the laws of heaven and earth. He felt flourishing and withering, felt immortality, and felt the artistic conception of sharing the same lifespan as heaven and earth.
Every divine kingdom crystal bloomed with resplendent light. The deities nurtured within them truly manifested, much like the great sun of the Heaven Realm, and began to create within the crystal divine kingdoms, somewhat similar to creator deities.
Fang Han's own will expanded outward infinitely. He felt that he was the heaven, the sky towering high above, and he was the earth, the vast and boundless, unfathomably deep land.
Countless Heavenly Dipper Qi and Earthly Fiend Qi brewed within every divine kingdom crystal.
The divine kingdom crystals became independent heavens and earths, independent universes.
In the depths of those crystals, primal chaos Qi even overflowed. Within that primal chaos Qi, more ancient gods of primal chaos were brewed, born innately to govern the crystal heaven and earth.
Fang Han's body contained hundreds of millions of crystal divine kingdoms.
Each crystal particle formed a crystal wall system, something akin to the Dragon Realm or the Buddha Realm.
At this moment, Fang Han did not know whether he had transformed into the entire heaven and earth, or if the entire heaven and earth was derived from him. This was an illusion, but also incomparably real.
This was a realm.
Four words suddenly jumped into Fang Han's mind: "Unity of Heaven and Earth!"
No mistake, this was the realm of the Unity of Heaven and Earth.
The Human Emperor Pen, many years ago during its prime, under the command of the Human Emperor, was an extremely tyrannical immortal artifact, almost a King-grade. But later, it encountered a great tribulation and its power was heavily damaged, leaving not even a ten-thousandth behind. However, amidst the great tribulation, it comprehended the realm of the Unity of Heaven and Earth, gaining the potential to ascend to a fortune artifact.
And now, Fang Han had similarly comprehended this realm, making his own divine kingdom crystals achieve the Unity of Heaven and Earth, profound and magical.
The heaven and earth resonated, and his own divine kingdom crystals also resonated. Both sides was in a wondrous rhythm. Fang Han grasped the veins of the heaven and earth. His own hundreds of millions of divine kingdom crystals combined at will, evolving into various great arrays.
Fang Han's body also constantly changed in the air. Sometimes it changed into a giant divine bell, representing time; sometimes it changed into a ten-direction precious pagoda, representing space; furthermore, it sometimes transformed into a conch, a long pennant, a great cauldron, a giant axe, a sky-supporting pillar… changing in myriad ways.
Even, at certain times, he transformed into a Dao chart. Not a person, but a painting, a divine chart that had experienced an unknown number of epochs.
Fang Han's body was at times immeasurably large, and at other times turned into minuscule particles.
His whole body brimmed with a unique luster that only fortune artifacts possessed. That was the artistic conception of the Unity of Heaven and Earth generated by aligning with the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
In the past, he had vaguely grasped this realm, but had always been unable to manifest it. And now, he could be considered to have truly stepped into this realm, turning his body into an existence the same as a fortune artifact.
His future path was incomparably broad.
The Golden Immortal laws his body could accommodate were more numerous, and his potential was even more massive. Needles to say about his degree of firmness; even if a supreme-grade Dao artifact directly bombarded his body now, there wouldn't be the slightest issue.
"Unity of Heaven and Earth, Unity of Heaven and Earth! What a profound realm! I don't know how the Human Emperor Pen comprehended it back then." Fang Han felt the profundity of the rhythm of the Unity of Heaven and Earth. Every divine kingdom crystal produced a slight resonance with the heaven and earth, and a wave of Qi force spread out, shattering countless skeletons.
Between his every gesture and motion, Fang Han felt that the heaven and earth vital energy and various rules in any place existed for him and were established for him.
"Flowers bloom for me, the sun rises for me!"
He exhaled a deep breath, and this long river of white bone skeletons immediately formed a gigantic vortex.
"Bang bang bang…" Bang bang…
With several consecutive explosions, fully five pieces among the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures ascended once again to middle-grade immortal artifacts.
At this moment, Fang Han was like an ancient saint: his words became law, his speech was golden and precious, and whatever he wished to say came to be. He accepted Murong Shi's entire magical power, entire memory, and entire experience in Dao technique cultivation.
The Golden Immortal laws in his body now also carried a solid layer of jade color, truly gold and jade. The Golden Immortal laws inside his body had fully increased to one hundred and twenty thousand strands.
These one hundred and twenty thousand were simply fully equivalent to another person's one million strands.
However, although he actually comprehended the "Unity of Heaven and Earth" realm during such a refining process, he was still somewhat unclear about the Dao of the Ancestral Immortal. In fact, his current strength was unmatched by any Golden Immortal; he could be called the number one person among Golden Immortals, yet he still had no way to comprehend the Dao of the Ancestral Immortal.
Going from Golden Immortal to Ancestral Immortal was a massive threshold that was difficult to cross.
"Good! This Murong Shi has been entirely refined by me. All the magical treasures on his body, several high-grade immortal artifacts, have also been integrated into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. If I meet people like this again and kill ten or eight of them, why worry about a great undertaking failing?" Fang Han was immensely proud and satisfied.
Comprehending the realm of the Unity of Heaven and Earth was no small matter.
This kind of realm had not been comprehended by numerous King-grade immortal artifacts. Even Sage-grade immortal artifacts were still in the process of comprehending it.
Yet he had comprehended it.
Although his power was still small, it aligned with the rhythm of the heaven and earth. One day, his body would become strong enough to rival a fortune artifact.
Finally, Murong Shi only had one divine kingdom space left. In that divine kingdom space, there was a gigantic map spanning a thousand miles in radius, which was precisely the map of the tomb of the Ghost Martial Holy Lord.
Beside this, sealed within this divine kingdom space were streaks of spiritual veins.
There were fully more than ten of these spiritual veins, all of the first tier. Every single one was majestically vast, with intense Primal Origin Qi. Who knew where the Crown Prince of the Jade Mansion had gotten them, to actually possess such immense wealth.
Although Fang Han had collected the "Sea Marquis Holy Spring Eye," he never considered too many spiritual veins, and collected them all.
Now, inside Fang Han's body, apart from the Sea Marquis Holy Spring Eye, there were already fully twenty first-tier spiritual veins. That meant he could found twenty sects like the Heavenly Spring Sect.
However, he did not have a single second-tier spiritual vein left.
Because in this long river of skeletons and white bones, he had to shatter skeletons, devour vital energy, and refine the corpses and bones of the ancient God Race's Heavenly Court army to turn them into essence Qi, which consumed a great deal of Primal Origin Qi.
But now, the Primal Origin Qi was considered sufficient.
"How is it? Have you all finished refining as well?" Fang Han turned his brows, and his divine sense scanned Xu Muyun and Bi Yu'er. Seeing that the two of them also stood up, each wearing an expression of thorough refreshment, he could not help but ask.
"Indeed. I have forged Su Feiyang repeatedly with Void True Fire for over nine thousand times, and then refined him one by one, acquiring his countless divine abilities, especially his Golden Immortal laws. This saves me at least hundreds of thousands of Heaven Realm years of bitter cultivation." Xu Muyun smiled. "Refining Golden Immortals is actually the best choice to increase strength. It's a pity that doing this sort of thing easily makes one fall into the demonic path. This time it is because they wanted to deal with me, so it's a tooth for a tooth. Killing people for no reason to refine them, this sort of thing still cannot be done."
"I have also gained excellent benefits." Bi Yu'er said, "Feng Yuan, the disaster sown this time is not small. That Lord of the Jade Mansion will presumably notice his son's death before long. When the time comes, a disaster is inevitable. However, concerning this matter, we are already standing on the same boat, crossing the river together. I will utilize all abilities to cover this matter up. Humph! My Yanshen Marquis Mansion, as well as my Bi family, are not to be trifled with either. In the absence of any evidence, don't even think about doing anything to us."
"Mm." Fang Han nodded, very satisfied.
The reason he let Bi Yu'er refine Fan Chen was actually also a "certificate of allegiance." Now all three people on both sides were grasshoppers tied to the same string; if one prospered, all prospered, and if one suffered, all suffered.
"Have you refined Murong Shi and found his map of the Ghost Martial Holy Lord's tomb? If we can enter the tomb, retrieve some of the ancient treasures within, or even a fragmented corner of the Ghost Martial Holy Chart to comprehend the Dao of the Ancestral Immortal, we won't need to fear any trouble. To the Heavenly Court, Ancestral Immortals are not comparable to Golden Immortals; every Ancestral Immortal receives the Heavenly Court's attention. That Lord of the Jade Mansion is merely at the Ancestral Immortal realm. When the time comes and he wants to cause trouble for us, we will hit straight back." Xu Muyun said.
"It is in my hands." Fang Han grabbed, and the thousand-mile-large map turned into the size of just a palm, falling into the center of his palm, upon which various bone mounds were revealed.
Those bone mounds changed constantly, and ordinary people fundamentally could not see any clues.
But what kind of person was Fang Han?
In an instant, he drove these images into the Zhou Tian Instrument and began deducing. After about a dozen breaths, a clear path suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Follow me!"
With a shuttle of his body, Fang Han flew towards the deeper parts of the long river of white bones. Countless white skeletons and powerful corpses were repeatedly shattered and turned into essence Qi, benefiting his own body.
Right after Fang Han and the others disappeared, that bone pagoda shook slightly, and a deep intent was transmitted from within it: "What formidable fist technique, dozens of times the combat power… Is this not the rumored… ancient memory, this set of fist techniques originates from…"
That bone pagoda suddenly, in a flash, also disappeared.
