To speak the truth, Fang Han currently held no certainty regarding advancing to the Dao of Heavenly Monarchs.
The gap between the realm of a Heavenly Monarch and the Emperor realm of "Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan" was unknown, and the immense difficulties of every step taken within were simply not something ordinary people could imagine.
At the very least, the minimum standard for advancing to the Heavenly Monarch realm was the ability to trigger the Heavenly Monarch great tribulation, an ability Fang Han currently lacked.
"Right, Senior Brother Emperor Yu, I heard that there is a list in the Heaven Realm called the Heavenly Monarch Candidate List, recording the names of countless masters qualified to advance to the Heavenly Monarch realm. Do you know where I might go to view this list?"
Fang Han suddenly asked: "By viewing this list and seeing exactly what kind of people are placed above me, I could also make detailed deductions about exactly what aspects of the Dao of Heavenly Monarchs are worthy of attention."
"The Heavenly Monarch Candidate List…"
Emperor Yu fell silent for a moment and nodded, "Such a list indeed exists. According to rumors, it lies within the Hall of Truth. It is the massive faction left behind by the Truth Immortal King, one of the three great Immortal Kings of the Heaven Realm in the legends. Now presided over by several major figures of the Truth Immortal King, its strength is not beneath the Heavenly Court. It is located at the other end of the Heaven Realm, similarly commanding a vast court. Rumor has it that the list is actually called the Heaven and Earth Shared Lifespan List. All Emperors who cultivate to the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan automatically appear on that list. Ranked from highest to lowest, the masters with the most hope of advancing to Heavenly Monarch are placed at the forefront… Therefore, it is also referred to by others as the Heavenly Monarch Candidate List."
"What? There is another faction comparable to the Heavenly Court…"
Fang Han also had not expected that within the Heaven Realm, there would actually be a faction on par with the Heavenly Court, called the Sect of Truth.
"Correct. The Heaven Realm is simply too massive; even Heavenly Monarchs cannot find its boundaries…" Emperor Yu said: "The sphere of influence of the Sect of Truth is exceedingly large, located quite distantly from the Heavenly Court's hundred thousand great provinces. Even with my flying speed, it would take decades, perhaps even over a century of flight to reach. Between us lie countless heavenly chasms and gulfs, divided back in the day by the Creation Immortal King and the Truth Immortal King."
Holding his scepter, Fang Han listened to all this while standing quietly in the air, seemingly deducing the massive memories in his mind. The memories of Huangfu Dadao, Jun Cangsheng, Zai Huang, Ning Huang, and Sheng Huang all surfaced, were extracted, and calculated one by one. After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "The Heaven Realm is truly far too massive, and the Heavenly Court is not the sole dominator. But this is fine as well…"
"Whatever the case, increasing the strength of our Yuhua Sect is the regal path." Emperor Yu said: "Now that you have returned, Fang Han, the strength of our Yuhua Sect has greatly increased. As long as Heavenly Monarchs do not make a move, no one can do anything to us, not to mention you have the backing of Chaos Heavenly Monarch! Right now, we shall unleash our hands to sweep clean the armies besieging the Central Province, and then swallow the sects of other great provinces."
"Chaos Heavenly Monarch… It is truly Chaos Heavenly Monarch? Having the backing of Chaos Heavenly Monarch behind him." The many Elders and Emperors of the Yuhua Sect were shocked, "Then why was it the Staff of Legends that shattered Hua Heavenly Monarch's divine sense?"
"It is because Chaos Heavenly Monarch reached an agreement with the Treasure Realm…"
"Strengthening ourselves amidst the chaos is a necessity, but I have acquired quite a few treasure troves in the Heavenly Court this time and must digest them. Emperor Bing, Emperor Yue… you all have endured bitter cultivation for a very long time as well. I shall now begin elevating your strength, raising you all one by one to the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan. Saint Grade Immortal Pills, come out!"
"Buzz!"
Within the void, following a wave of Fang Han's hand, streaks of powerful pill energy immediately appeared. A full twelve invincible Saint Grade Immortal Pills manifested, every single one levitating in the air, claiming to be its own sacred kingdom, blooming with the supreme majesty of experts possessing Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan.
"Saint Grade Immortal Pills!"
"There are actually a full twelve of them."
"These are the supreme Saint Grade Immortal Pills refined from within the ancient Creation Immortal King's furnace, the Twelve Great Immortal Spirit Treasure Godless Pills! According to rumors, after swallowing them, one can refine their own primordial spirit to the state of entrusting the void, providing tremendous benefits for the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan. Moreover, if every single one of these medicinal pills took human form, they would be an Emperor-level medicinal pill grand ancestor!"
At this, even Emperor Yu roared out.
It was truly far too shocking.
Twelve Saint Grade Immortal Pills appearing simultaneously, each one equivalent to an Emperor whose lifespan was shared with heaven and earth, a half-step Heavenly Monarch supreme existence. Aside from the Heavenly Court, even if there were Supreme Great Sects guarded by Heavenly Monarchs, they likely would not possess the capability to bring out twelve Saint Grade Immortal Pills all at once.
Within these Saint Grade Immortal Pills, boundlessly formidable medicinal spirits galloped, trying to break free from their restraints and fly out.
Emperor Yu felt that even he could not suppress them, yet Fang Han suppressed them easily and effortlessly. This was equivalent to directly suppressing the Cult Masters of twelve Supreme Great Sects.
The entire venue boiled over; all the masters of the Yuhua Sect boiled over.
From disciples to Elders, everyone's hot blood boiled. This was a fortuitous encounter, a monumental fortuitous encounter. To suddenly gain twelve Saint Grade Immortal Pills at once was a peerless treasure trove.
As the pill energy of these twelve Saint Grade Immortal Pills wafted out, many disciples caught the scent and their entire bodies felt comfortable. Some Elders and disciples who had hidden injuries instantly threw up mouthfuls of congested blood upon inhaling the scent, their injuries entirely healed, and their cultivation advancing remarkably.
That Chenxin, who had cultivated to the "Half-Saint" realm, suddenly flew up. A Heavenly Tribulation appeared above his head, and he surprisingly advanced directly to the realm of a Saint.
One must know that the pill energy of Saint Grade Immortal Pills was no trivial matter. Back in the day, a gourd full of pill energy gifted by the Nangong Family was able to help Fang Han increase his lifespan.
"Emperor Bing!"
Fang Han roared loudly, flicking his finger. A single Saint Grade Immortal Pill flew out directly, striking into the body of the Yuhua Sect's Emperor Bing. Instantly, Emperor Bing's entire person flew up into the air, letting out an involuntary loud roar, all the vital energy upon his body erupting completely!
"A Saint Grade Immortal Pill fuses into your body to mend the flaws in your Great Dao. I shall help you elevate to the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan, to make a resounding name for our Yuhua Sect and suppress the myriad domains!"
Fang Han grabbed into the air. The Long River of Destiny rolled endlessly, striking directly into Emperor Bing's body. The Supreme Immortal laws upon Emperor Bing's body began to manifest. One thick streak after another appeared; his entire person's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, increasing nearly dozens of times over! Streak after streak of laws upon his body began to communicate with heaven and earth, and a Heavenly Tribulation surprisingly appeared above his head!
This was the "Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan" great tribulation!
"Daoist techniques accelerating growth, willpower transferring, martial Dao quintessence, a method beyond laws!" Suddenly, a winged longsword rushed out from Emperor Yu's body. It was precisely the Sword of the Sanctuary. Seeing Fang Han actually assisting Emperor Bing directly in breaking through the barrier, this sword was so shocked it became sluggish.
One must know that even if an Emperor consumed a Saint Grade Immortal Pill, it was impossible to instantly break through the barrier; at the very least, they would need to gently nourish the medicinal pill and regulate their realm, because the comprehension of realms required time.
Yet now, Fang Han directly slammed the realm into Emperor Bing's body, forcefully helping him break through. Such a method was something only Heavenly Monarchs could achieve, or perhaps through the legendary highest secret art of the Law Realm, the method beyond laws.
Now, although Fang Han's strength still held a vast disparity compared to a true Heavenly Monarch, after undergoing the cleansing of the Xuanhuang Blood, he possessed the aura of a Heavenly Monarch. Furthermore, having swallowed Jun Cangsheng in his entirety and obtained supreme memories, coupled with condensing the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures into King Grade Immortal Artifacts, his deduction power had increased by an unknown number of times. Amidst fierce deductions, he had already extrapolated the Supreme Laws of the Law Realm to their most complete state. And he had already entirely acquired two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of the Three Thousand Great Daos!
Originally, because Jun Cangsheng had not learned the Great Karma Technique, the Great Aspiration Technique, and the Great Reincarnation Technique, the Supreme Laws of the Law Realm were incomplete, and the "Gateway of Law" formed was also imperfect. However, Fang Han had already learned all the Daoist techniques. For the Great Aspiration Technique, he had actually obtained the incantations from Immortal Venerable Linglong long ago; he had just never cultivated it. Now that his cultivation had reached such a realm, with a slight movement, the endless aspiration power between heaven and earth rolled in, immediately condensing this grand Daoist technique.
In the blink of an eye, of the Three Thousand Great Daos, only the number one ranked Great Destiny Technique remained unlearned.
Just like Daoist Hongmeng, he had learned two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine supreme Great Daos.
Moreover, he also knew the Little Fatalism! A branch of the Great Destiny Technique. Within practically an instant, he had supplemented the Three Thousand Great Daos to near completion. Extrapolating the Supreme Laws of the Law Realm produced a grand perfection almost akin to dividing heaven and earth and forging the cosmos anew.
Furthermore, he had deduced the "method beyond laws," which surpassed the Supreme Laws of the Law Realm.
"Hahahahaha…" Fang Han let out a long howl: "Sword of the Sanctuary, make no mistake, it is exactly the method beyond laws. I have deduced a sliver of clue regarding the highest mystery of the Law Realm. When the time is right, I will enter the Law Realm to add even stronger power to our Yuhua Sect. Emperor Yue, Emperor Bing… all seven great Emperors, advance to the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan now!"
Fang Han flicked his fingers again, operating supreme mana. Six medicinal pills entered the bodies of the six great Emperors.
These Emperors all flew up into the air. Under the aura of Fang Han's Supreme Laws of the Law Realm, and even the method beyond laws, Heavenly Tribulations appeared, advancing directly.
Seven great experts undergoing the great tribulation of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan simultaneously; exactly how formidable was that? The entire Hall of Judgment of the Yuhua Sect was completely filled with descending lightning, demonic heads, supreme mind demons, and even demons among demons, as well as Dao diagrams and heavenly marks…
Yet, Fang Han simply stood his ground, watching all the Heavenly Tribulations descend, and suddenly made a sweeping grab! Rumble… Invincible mana derived outward, and miserable shrieks actually sounded out from within those Heavenly Tribulations.
Under his mana, the Heavenly Tribulations grew terrified. They were instantly condensed into picture scrolls of Heavenly Tribulation one after another, entering the bodies of the seven great Emperors, being slowly refined, tempering their entire bodies from the inside out.
Seven streams of aura, so powerful they resonated with heaven and earth and seized the lifespan of heaven and earth for their own use, emanated from the bodies of the seven great Emperors.
The seven great Emperors of the Yuhua Sect attained the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan all at the same time!
"Directly condensing the Heavenly Tribulation to temper our bodies! Such methods truly belong only to Heavenly Monarchs! This is what it means to grasp the power of Creation. We submit, we thoroughly submit!"
Emperor Bing stared blankly at his own palm, never having expected that there would be a day when he cultivated to achieve "Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan."
