"Junior Brother, this cultivation base of yours, I, your senior brother, am truly too envious of it. Having obtained so many magical treasures, not to mention the Eight Divisions Pagoda, even that Wings of Freedom, though a replica, is incredibly rare. The Bone Saint's inheritance is even more invincible. But for you to cultivate alone, comprehending profound mysteries is truly too slow. Why not head deep into the Yuhua Sect to find a master."
Hiding their auras and entering the Great Shang Ancient City, Fang Han, Holy Son Dao Xu, and Chen Yimei stepped into the teleportation array. However, their destination was Xuzhou.
Fang Han originally intended to return to the Yuhua Sect but suddenly remembered that, anyway, the Great Shang Ancient Province was not far from Xuzhou; the ancient teleportation array trip was just a matter of less than half an hour. Thus, he decided to visit the Xu Family in the Xuzhou Ancient City to check on Xu Muyun.
The three transmitted divine intent to each other inside the ancient teleportation array.
"Find a master?" Fang Han was slightly taken aback. Only then did he recall that although he had entered the Yuhua Sect, he had yet to receive formal instruction from a master; he had not officially learned the true legacy and ultimate techniques of the Yuhua Sect yet.
"Mm, many of the current elders of the Yuhua Sect are cultivating stealthily in the Heavenly Court or in absolutely top-secret locations, rarely emerging. However, occasionally, some elders wish to move after a long period of quiet, stepping out to select disciples with extremely high aptitude to take in as their own, personally imparting Dao techniques to them, so they can support each other through the distant years of cultivation. With your aptitude, Junior Brother, you will definitely be favored by a Saint and taken in as a disciple. With a Saint's guidance, your cultivation will speed up even further."
Chen Yimei nodded, his intentions entirely good.
Yet in his heart, Fang Han was startled. He absolutely must not take a Saint as his master, otherwise, with the cultivation of a Sacred Immortal, they would definitely be able to see the clues within his body. If the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure was discovered, stealing Good Fortune and intimately linked to destiny, it would be too late then, leaving him entirely at their mercy.
Although he was tyrannical now, he was ultimately just a Golden Immortal and had not yet reached the realm of a Supreme Ancestral Immortal. Above Ancestral Immortals were Origin Immortals, and above Origin Immortals were Sacred Immortals; the disparity was beyond counting. If a Sacred Immortal observed him, he would definitely have nowhere to hide, and every secret would be seen.
"Let's talk about it later. I will advance to Ancestral Immortal first and become a Holy Son. We'll wait until my status improves slightly." Fang Han pushed it away. He was continuously adjusting his origin qi at every moment, deducing his own divine kingdom to an optimal state.
At the same time, within the Heaven Mending Furnace of the Thirty-Three Heavens Good Fortune Artifact, inside the ocean-like rolling waves of Heaven Mending True Qi, the Spirit Emperor's Enlightenment Stone was bobbing up and down, looking like a small island.
That lamp of Sacred Immortal level Buddha oil was placed properly on the Spirit Emperor's Enlightenment Stone, not yet ignited.
Meanwhile, the fragmented map of the Ghost Martial Holy Lord floated above it, framing a massive holy map, only missing the core circular piece in the center.
The Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows emitted a tyrannical aura of laws. The Saint's qi contained within was exactly identical to that of the Buddha oil lamp; both contained fragments of Sacred Immortal laws. Peerless Immortal Artifacts were no minor matters. When the might of this set of treasures was unleashed to its maximum limit, it could shoot down Ancestral Immortals.
However, Fang Han was still preparing to refine it.
Because within the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure, there was a set of bow and arrows whose power was even greater and more miraculous: the Heavens' Demise Bow and the Heaven Piercing Arrows. With one arrow shot, even the heavens were bound for demise.
However, currently the "Heavens' Demise Bow" and "Heaven Piercing Arrows" were but Mid-grade Immortal Artifacts, far from reaching the level of bringing demise to the heavens and piercing through them. But if he could absorb and refine the Peerless Immortal Artifacts, the Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows, and obtain the fragments of Saint laws contained within, their lethal power would probably elevate by more than a hundredfold.
It was just that the Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows were difficult to refine. Fang Han was deducing every single moment, trying to find the absolute best method to refine them perfectly without leaking even the slightest trace of Saint laws inside.
Despite being in conversation, Fang Han was cultivating bitterly at every moment. With the hundreds of millions of divine kingdom crystals in his body, there was almost no difference between being in seclusion and not being in seclusion; he was unlike other people. He was engaging in cultivation whether walking, stopping, sitting, or lying down.
To Fang Han, the Dao of cultivation was something he grasped with extraordinary proficiency.
"Buzz!"
Within his body, a spark of fire flew straight to the Sacred Immortal Buddha level oil lamp on top of the Spirit Emperor's Enlightenment Stone. That was Fang Han's original Good Fortune Fire.
A single spark ignited the oil lamp.
That bronze oil lamp cast from Buddhist Gold suddenly flared up, illuminating all the crystal divine kingdoms across Fang Han's entire body until they were clear inside out. A swath of bright light without a trace of impurity or filth shone, as if the soul of a Saint had entered his body, purifying everything entirely.
"Heartbreak Bow, Loveless Arrows, melt for me!"
As soon as the Saint's oil lamp was ignited, Fang Han's intent entered his body and began to catalyze it. A massive hand of origin qi bounded and danced up and down inside his own divine kingdom, then grabbed fiercely onto the two Peerless Immortal Artifacts, holding them over the Saint's lamp fire to roast. In a short while, the Peerless Immortal Artifacts began to twist and distort.
"Heaven and Earth as One!"
Fang Han once again catalyzed the realm of the Heaven and Earth as One within his body.
Crack, crack. Countless cracking traces appeared on the Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows. Streams of Sacred Immortal laws flowed out. Every single thread of these Sacred Immortal laws was heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, completely uncontainable, causing Fang Han's divine kingdom to vibrate with cracking sounds as if about to shatter.
Fortunately, Fang Han had ignited the lamp oil which similarly contained Sacred Immortal laws.
The powerful lamp fire restrained the power, causing these Sacred Immortal laws to gradually transform into boundless Ancestral Immortal laws. The Ancestral Immortal laws then merged into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure.
Just like Golden Immortal laws transforming into Great Luo laws, one strand of Sacred Immortal laws could transform into an unknown quantity of Ancestral Immortal laws. In Fang Han's divine kingdom, Ancestral Immortal laws descended like floating willow catkins, or like a sky filled with heavy, goose-feather snow. Bathed under these laws, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure commenced its metamorphosis.
First was the Universal Astrolabe.
With a buzz, it transformed into a High-grade Immortal Artifact. Upon that instrument, more images, various spells, divine abilities, and even the paths to the future and the long river of destiny were all revealed within it. Its deduction ability suddenly grew ten times more tyrannical.
However, Fang Han had no time to pay attention to the changes of the Universal Astrolabe right now. He had to drive all the origin qi of the Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure.
Under ordinary circumstances, Mid-grade Immortal Artifacts absolutely could not integrate Peerless Immortal Artifacts. Otherwise, they would be blown up to the point of exploding, achieving nothing. However, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure had integrated fragments of a Good Fortune Artifact and was no longer a treasure in the ordinary sense. Breaking convention and reversing truth, it could accommodate the integration of a Peerless Immortal Artifact.
The Heartbreak Bow and Loveless Arrows were treasures forged by the "Love Saint" Nangong Heartbreak. The Sacred Immortal laws contained within were much greater than those in that oil lamp. Naturally, the value of this set of Peerless Immortal Artifacts was also at least tens of thousands of Tier One Spirit Veins. As they were constantly refined and integrated into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure, the first to transform into High-grade Immortal Artifacts were the similarly functioning bow and arrows: the Heavens' Demise Bow and the Heaven Piercing Arrows.
These two treasures transformed straightaway to the peak level of High-grade Immortal Artifacts.
Subsequently, the Lawless Umbrella also transformed into a High-grade Immortal Artifact.
Only after a succession of four treasures transformed did the origin qi gradually begin to subside.
With a slight catalytic pulse of power, Fang Han sensed massive lethal power brewing upon the Heavens' Demise Bow and the Heaven Piercing Arrows. Shooting down an Ancestral Immortal lay within a single thought.
"I have finally refined this set of bow and arrows, very well. My strength has increased to a certain peak. As long as I break through the juncture, I could enter the Ancestral Immortal realm at any time. And now my preparations are more or less ready? Should I choose an appropriate time to assault it?" A barrier appeared before Fang Han's eyes. It seemed that as long as he shattered that barrier, he could return to the origin and revert to the ancestors.
He felt as though he was standing on a high peak. With just an upward jump, he could leap into the clouds and step into another realm.
That was the Ancestral Immortal realm.
However, it was not suitable to assault the bottleneck while currently inside the ancient teleportation array. Fang Han could only brew silently.
"Junior Brother, look! It's actually Tu Gang? And a group of Divine Prison disciples from the Heavenly Court! Despicable!" Just as Fang Han was letting his mind wander beyond the heavens, Holy Son Dao Xu suddenly transmitted a freezing cold murderous intent along with divine intent.
Fang Han's focus immediately returned, and his entire body entered the most perfect combat state. With his current cultivation, even if his mind wandered beyond the heavens, no one could successfully launch a sneak attack against him.
Right at this moment, he saw a man with broad shoulders, carrying intense supreme dragon breath on his body, akin to a sovereign of divine dragons from the Ninth Heaven. Only Fang Han could see clearly behind this man's back: a Great Flood Ancestral Dragon coiled within the endless void behind him. Its eyes shot out freezing rays of light, ready at any time to rend and slay any existence showing disrespect to dragon majesty.
Also having forged the Eight Divisions Pagoda and having cultivated everything to the level of High-grade Immortal Artifacts, Tu Gang had similarly entered this teleportation array.
This teleportation array heading to Xuzhou was extremely massive, covering tens of thousands of miles, resembling a divine kingdom. Within it, bustling experts gathered in groups of three or five.
The Great Shang Ancient Province was inherently a prosperous domain populated by dense masses. Countless massive factions roamed within it. Every single ancient teleportation array was a sea of people. If ordinary people mingled within, they would simply be impossible to discover. However, Tu Gang and his group were truly too domineering. The auras on their bodies were not concealed in the slightest. Many people, seeing them enter, immediately changed expressions and continuously hastily stepped aside, absolutely not daring to linger near them.
The law-enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison were all a bunch of abnormal anomalies, with massive backing behind them and naturally tyrannical strength themselves. No one was willing to provoke them.
"Senior Brother Dao Xu, let us watch quietly without taking action! Do not go up to seek revenge. A gentleman's revenge is a dish best served cold, ten years is not too late." Fang Han stealthily channeled a burst of Reincarnation Art origin qi over, concealing the auras of Holy Son Dao Xu and Chen Yimei, making them appear like ordinary Golden Immortals; even their facial features were thus altered.
"Junior Brother, you!"
"Senior Brother, do you really wish to battle inside this ancient teleportation array?" Fang Han said secretly: "Even if we annihilate this group, the matter will surely reach the Heavenly Court, and the aftermath would still be difficult to handle. Instead, why not conceal ourselves, observe where this group goes, find an opportunity, and assassinate them completely unnoticed by the gods or ghosts, thereby exacting our revenge. That is the kingly way."
"That is correct. Dao Xu, what Junior Brother Feng Yuan says makes sense. We must not alert the snake by beating the grass first." Chen Yimei was also a formidable character, his words extremely fierce: "Law-enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison! Hmph! Daring to flaunt their prowess and parade their might is a path that only leads to death. Dao Xu, your old grudge must absolutely be avenged."
