Fang Han and the Supreme Sect Master of the Yuhua Sect, the "Feather Emperor", had a long heart-to-heart talk, and both sides erased the grudges in their hearts.
Hearing that Fang Han was the Supreme Sect Master of the lower realm Yuhua Sect, the Feather Emperor sighed with emotion, expressing deep admiration for the final vigorous development of the lower realm Yuhua Sect.
Not only did Fang Han recount these facts, but he also evolved various graphics, depicting the various development situations of the Yuhua Sect amid the God Clan great tribulation, and even displayed the Hongmeng Daoist's ultimate art, the "Heavenly Yuan Strike".
This fundamentally allowed the Feather Emperor to thoroughly believe the facts.
Setting aside other matters, just the layer of connection with the inheritor of the Hongmeng Daoist, Linglong, alone meant Fang Han's value was immeasurable. The Feather Emperor knew that after the inheritance of the Hongmeng Daoist ascended, she would definitely enter the mysteriously unpredictable Hongmeng Secret Vault in the Heaven Realm for bitter cultivation. Her emergence in the future would undoubtedly be earth-shattering.
That End Sage King would also ultimately break out of entrapment. Once he emerged and swept across the Heaven Realm, no one would be his match.
At once, within this great hall, Fang Han first imparted the cultivation secret method of the "Supreme Myriad Treasures Great Sage True Astral Qi" to the "Feather Emperor".
The "Feather Emperor" was indeed an expert "as old as heaven and earth". After obtaining this law incantation, with a slight movement, he immediately cultivated it successfully. A cluster of runes coalesced at his palm. Upon the runes, the phantom of the Treasure Realm manifested out. Massive amounts of treasure qi fluctuated through the void, churning restlessly like an ocean.
"Truly formidable, is this the strength of being as old as heaven and earth? The speed at which I absorb treasure qi isn't even one-tenth of his." Fang Han was secretly startled, recognizing that the disparity between himself and the Feather Emperor was truly too great.
However, the Feather Emperor grabbed this cluster of rune treasure qi in his hand and did not merge it into the main body of the King-grade Immortal Artifact "Sword of the Sanctuary", but instead sank into contemplation.
"The Many Treasures Heavenly Lord is indeed the Many Treasures Heavenly Lord. Establishing the Treasure Realm and disseminating this secret method, his objective was actually to make magical treasures ascend."
"Make magical treasures ascend?" Fang Han's heart was startled.
"Right. This Daoist technique directly absorbs the treasure qi from the Treasure Realm to substitute for any materials needed to coalesce magical treasures. It can be said to plunder the good fortune of heaven and earth, acting against heaven. Therefore, it must have flaws. The flaw is that as you absorb more treasure qi, that magical treasure becomes tainted with the aura of the Treasure Realm. As it grows increasingly powerful, it will ultimately be attracted by the Treasure Realm, tear through the void, and ascend. You will ultimately lose this magical treasure."
The Feather Emperor articulated word by word: "The Many Treasures Heavenly Lord calculated truly well. No wonder in the ancient era, the precious treasures of many experts vanished without wings to fly."
"So it is actually like this!" Fang Han instantly grew vigilant in his heart: "Is there a method to break it?"
He hurriedly deduced in his heart, and surely enough, he discovered that the "Wings of Freedom" and the "Staff of Legends"… these magical treasures tempered through "treasure qi" had all become tainted with the aura of the Treasure Realm. They seemed to gradually forge closer and closer connections with the Treasure Realm. After reaching a certain level of power, they would definitely tear through the void, ascend, enter the Treasure Realm, and become a part of the magical treasure army of the Treasure Realm.
Even his own body had encountered such a scenario.
His body had already been cultivated into an existence akin to a magical treasure, and had also absorbed treasure qi. If he grew more powerful again, he might suffer the attraction of the Treasure Realm and ascend.
"Fang Han, having cultivated this Daoist technique, I see ascending to become a Sage will be difficult." The Feather Emperor shook his head continuously: "With your current accumulations, once you ascend to become a Sage, your power will be exceptionally great, earth-shattering would not be enough to describe it. By that time, the pulling force from the Treasure Realm will definitely cause you to ascend. From then on, you will never be able to come out of the Treasure Realm again. You must know, within that Treasure Realm, there are Sage-grade Immortal Artifacts equivalent to the Heavenly Lord level presiding. Whoever enters inside will be powerless. The Treasure Realm can stand against the Heavenly Court. If not for that, the many Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court would have joined forces long ago to besiege and eradicate the Treasure Realm."
"That is true. Bringing the unknown number of magical treasures and King-grade Immortal Artifacts in the Treasure Realm under the Heavenly Court's control would vastly enhance their strength." Hearing that his ascension to become a Sage had an added layer of difficulty, Fang Han immediately grew a bit vigilant in his heart, circulating the Zhou Tian Instrument ceaselessly to deduce, seeing if he could resolve this current obstruction.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure had not absorbed the treasure qi. Perhaps from this aspect, a sliver of a method to shed the treasure qi could be found. Otherwise, upon his ascension to a Sage, he would ascend to the Treasure Realm, which was intolerable.
"This problem is very thorny." The Feather Emperor felt somewhat troubled and shook his head: "Just now, when I successfully cultivated this true astral qi and deduced the treasure qi, I discovered this reality. The Treasure Realm was forged by the Many Treasures Heavenly Lord. This Heavenly Lord was the first Heavenly Lord under the command of the Immortal King of Origin back then. His methods are far, far beyond what we could ever compare with. Right, didn't you obtain the Dao inheritance of the Many Treasures Heavenly Lord?"
"That was just talk. My true identity is Fang Han, what was said was an expedient measure." Fang Han smiled: "However, I possess a magical treasure on my body that is unaffected by the treasure qi. But my Daoist techniques are still shallow and I cannot deduce it. I can let Senior Brother comprehend it a bit."
After contemplating for a while, Fang Han mobilized his entire body, and behind him emerged the shadows of the thirty-three magical treasures.
"This is!"
The Feather Emperor and the artifact spirit woman of the Sword of the Sanctuary both widened their eyes enormously: "This is the Creator Divine Artifacts, the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure."
"Right, this is the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure Creator Divine Artifacts." Fang Han said: "I know, this is pilfering creation, belonging to a heaven-defying act. If it becomes known to the Heavenly Court, it will probably raise a massive uproar. However, this is all considered for the sake of my Yuhua Sect, so it does not amount to much. I trust Senior Brother can keep this secret. Naturally, even if the secret is exposed, I will at most leave the Yuhua Sect. If the Heavenly Court dispatches experts to pursue and kill me, then the grand figures behind me will naturally emerge to resolve this matter."
"Is the grand figure behind you not the sealed End Sage King? There is someone else?"
The Feather Emperor seemed to hear some clues, awakening from the shock of the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure.
"Behind me is an ancient Heavenly Lord, also my protector, an existence that once rebelled against the Heavenly Court." Fang Han stated solemnly: "Therefore, Senior Brother need not worry that the Yuhua Sect doesn't have a Heavenly Lord for protection, nor that the Heavenly Court can do anything to me."
"An ancient Heavenly Lord who rebelled against the Heavenly Court is the former… Chaos Heavenly Lord." The Feather Emperor remembered a person and blurted it out.
"Exactly, it really is the Chaos Heavenly Lord." Fang Han smiled faintly: "Last time when the Love Sage Nangong Shangxin came looking for trouble with me, it was the will of the Chaos Heavenly Lord that descended and subdued him. Later on, he likely attained guidance in Daoist techniques from the Chaos Heavenly Lord, elevating to the realm of a To-Immortal Emperor in one stroke, becoming the Love Emperor."
"What a pity, if I could meet this ancient Heavenly Lord even once, it would be an immense honor." The Feather Emperor sighed with emotion: "But to elevate my realm now, even a Heavenly Lord's guidance would be of no use. I must comprehend it myself, break the restraints of heaven and earth, transcending the epoch, before stepping into a Heavenly Lord's karmic position."
"If I can elevate my realm step by step, my connection with the Chaos Heavenly Lord will grow increasingly stronger. When the time comes, I can correspond with this senior. Alright, Senior Brother Feather Emperor, what are your thoughts upon observing this Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure? Can you deduce any clues? You must know, this Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure is an existence untainted by treasure qi."
Fang Han exerted his utmost effort to mobilize this set of creation qi. Amidst the void, anonymous power of creation rolled down, dyeing his entire body completely crystalline.
"Sanctuary, cooperate with me fully, to deduce this power of creation. This is an excellent opportunity for you and me; being able to comprehend creation will greatly help our Yuhua Sect's Daoist techniques. The founding patriarch of our Yuhua Sect, Hua Heavenly Lord, obtained the favor of the Creation Immortal King and received his bestowal of creation. Unfortunately, the Creation God Fist has never been handed down. But the foundation of our Yuhua Sect was evolved from the Creation God Fist. If I can retrieve the original appearance of the Creation God Fist now, then it will truly have monstrous benefits for me."
The Feather Emperor didn't hesitate in the slightest. Letting out a long howl and gripping with his large hand, he grasped the Sword of the Sanctuary in hand and swept it toward the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure. Like a long whale sucking water, he absorbed an enormous amount of creation qi from it.
"Yuhua Ascension, Grand Dao Profound Technique."
Receiving this power of creation, the Feather Emperor instantly compressed it, compressing it into a fist-sized creation crystal, wanting to merge it into the sword body. Unfortunately, this power of creation fundamentally did not budge, emitting true majesty that tolerated no profanation.
The Feather Emperor continually executed sword methodologies, and even unleashed a set of divine abilities similar to the Creation God Fist, yet he still could not accommodate the power of creation. It seemed the power of creation was Fang Han's exclusive method; outside of him, no one could successfully refine it.
"This is the cultivation secret incantation of the Creation God Fist." With a shift in his thoughts, Fang Han transmitted it over: "However, Senior Brother Feather Emperor, without comprehending the realm of heaven and earth as one, it is very tough to refine the power of creation. Furthermore, without the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure, it is extremely tough to draw creation qi."
"It's enough! With the cultivation secret incantation of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation God Fist, I will be able to comprehend supreme principles. Even if it is impossible to ascend to reach a Heavenly Lord's realm, my strength will be multiplied!" The Feather Emperor howled continuously. Space shuddered, and that power of creation rotated continuously before abruptly dispersing, vanishing into the air. However, on his face, treasure light sparkled crystalline, and the structure of his body seemed to be undergoing a series of changes.
With his type of cultivation, "as old as heaven and earth", a breakthrough was extremely difficult. But once achieved, it would be extremely useful for the growth of strength.
"Sword of the Sanctuary, ascend again, evolve creation, cast into imperishability!"
Holding this Sword of the Sanctuary, he cleaved and pierced into the void. With each strike, the void split open. Streaks of sword qi led straight toward distant depths, into numerous unknown interdimensional space.
Each time those inter-dimensional spaces ruptured, a stream of consciousness and aura was transmitted back.
Finally, the Feather Emperor's entire body trembled. The massive power almost jolted even Fang Han away. With one sword thrust, the past and the future were entirely pierced through. Faintly, Fang Han saw that the Treasure Realm was opened anew. A crystalline treasure qi piercing through the void like a long river swept over, all surging into the sword body of the Sword of the Sanctuary.
The Sword of the Sanctuary buzzingly sounded throughout the whole body of the blade, as if its structure was undergoing transformation.
"First sword sections cause and effect, second sword severs destiny, third sword breaks worldly attachments, fourth sword casts immortality!" Howled the Feather Emperor, slashing four swords towards the void. Each sword perfectly natural, severing everything. Fang Han only felt the void vibrate, and that connection in the unseen world with the Treasure Realm was surprisingly completely severed at once.
