Fang Han also did not expect that while encountering Huangfu Bi'an pursuing and attacking him all the way, he would actually be able to encounter the Hongmeng Secret Vault and see an old friend, Linglong Immortal Venerable.
However, this was also the result of his deductions while being pursued along the way. In his deductions, he continuously fled towards places where there was a path of survival. Sure enough, now he had found his path of survival.
Taking advantage of the struggle between Huangfu Bi'an and the palace of the Hongmeng Secret Vault, Fang Han escaped in a split second and entered the secret vault. Wherever he went was an expanse of magnificent palace chambers, manifesting antiquity, grandeur, and splendor everywhere.
The entire palace was extremely massive, simply like the Heavenly Court, layered upon layered. Looking past with a single glance, the edges could not be seen at all.
Within these palace chambers, there were formidable auras in many, many places, clearly indicating that many experts were cultivating. At the instant Fang Han came in, these powerful existences seemed to be alarmed one after another; billions of brilliant lights soared into the sky, projecting their divine sense here in succession.
The Hongmeng Palace.
The place where Fang Han landed was a plaza in front of a grand hall. In front of the plaza was a giant ornamental column, upon which were carved three innate inscriptions that could only be born when heaven and earth first opened.
A woman slowly walked out from behind the ornamental column of the Hongmeng Palace. Her white clothes surpassed snow, her black hair was like a waterfall, holding all the grace of the world within her grasp. The successor of Hongmeng, the woman who made a great wish that all living beings would perfectly obtain eternal life, appeared before Fang Han.
"Linglong Immortal Venerable!"
Fang Han let out a long howl, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Fang Han!"
Linglong Immortal Venerable's tone was also extremely excited. Encountering an old friend in a foreign land, meeting a good friend from the secular world in the Heavenly Realm, how could there be any reason not to be excited.
The gazes of the two people swiftly met together.
In an instant, they almost mutually understood each other's various experiences. With the cultivation of these two people, they already did not need to speak to be able to understand everything the other party had gone through and intended.
"We finally meet."
Fang Han swiftly calmed down, because outside the entire Hongmeng Palace hall, raging true fire was burning. It was Huangfu Bi'an, his thieving heart not dying, urging supreme magical techniques to attack.
The attack of a Heavenly Lord was no small matter.
Fang Han had also already seen through it; Linglong Immortal Venerable's cultivation was not that of a Heavenly Lord, but she had already cultivated to the realm of having a lifespan equal to heaven and earth. She was extremely formidable, almost completely surpassing the Heaven Lord of Ten Thousand Suns, and even reaching a level second only to himself and Hua Tiandu.
Inside the Hongmeng Palace, Heavenly Vein origin qi permeated everywhere. Moreover, this kind of Heavenly Vein origin qi presented a tight structure, even more pure and clear than the Heavenly Veins of the Heavenly Court. With a casual breath, Fang Han could see pure and transparent Indestructible Heavenly Talismans descending like snowflakes, without the slightest bit of impurities, capable of even completely washing the mind of the entire body.
This was a Heavenly Vein that had been refined by an Immortal King, even more suitable for cultivation.
One could imagine that the moment this Linglong Immortal Venerable ascended to the Heavenly Realm, she was received and guided by the Hongmeng Secret Vault, and then entered inside to cultivate. From the very beginning, she absorbed Heavenly Vein origin qi; this was treatment that even the sons of Heavenly Lords would find difficult to enjoy.
Fang Han thought about himself; upon ascending to the Heavenly Realm, he could only absorb the simplest Origin Beginning Qi. The vast difference truly made one feel that the heavens were unfair.
If he had absorbed Heavenly Vein origin qi from the moment he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he might already have become a Heavenly Lord by now.
For Linglong Immortal Venerable's cultivation speed to be able to reach this realm was naturally to be expected.
"Baby Nebula, Yuhua Sect, Heaven Connecting Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sword Sect… All experts of the Creation Sect, come out and pay respects to the Sect Master. Your Sect Master, Fang Han, has descended."
Looking at Fang Han, suddenly, Linglong Immortal Venerable called out loudly. The voice radiated outwards layer upon layer. In this world as large as the Heavenly Court, deep within the Hongmeng Palace, intense auras soared into the sky.
With a sweep of his gaze, Fang Han saw the many experts of the Creation Sect that he had nurtured in the secular world.
Baby Nebula, the little fox Nishang, Long Xuan, Fairy Crane, Jialan, the Star Master… these people, as well as some experts of the Devil Sect. In addition, there were also people he had subdued like the Hall Master of the Eternal Devil Hall, Chi Renwang, and a group of others. Almost the entire elite of the Creation Sect was here.
Of course, Fang Han did not see a few important figures, such as Feng Baiyu, Mi Bao, and the most important, Fang Qingxue…
"Brother Fang Han, you finally appeared. Since we ascended, we entered this Hongmeng Secret Vault and cultivated bitterly, additionally fighting and slaughtering with some peculiar races in the myriad heavens; the cultivation was truly too monotonous. Fortunately, with the changes in the Heavenly Realm now, Sister Linglong accurately calculated that you would appear, and you finally appeared…"
Baby Nebula flew over at once, his magical power surging. He was actually also at the realm of having a lifespan equal to heaven and earth, his cultivation surpassing Ancient Emperors. It was unknown how he cultivated it.
Fang Han grabbed with a large hand, instantly pulling Baby Nebula over. Striking a streak of Epoch Power into his body, he immediately discovered that Baby Nebula's cultivation was firm and solid, and his experience was also abundantly rich. Moreover, the aura of heavenly secrets, profound and unpredictable, shedding the mortal body and exchanging bones, faintly circulated within his body. It seemed he had undergone body modification through some medicinal pills.
"Fang Han, you finally appeared…"
Jialan slowly walked over, overcome with joy. Besides her, the Star Master, as well as some former experts of the Yuhua Sect, such as the Three Saints of Yuhua, Wu Mingkong, Zhao Shenyang, and others, seeing Fang Han acting with such ease and weight, actually able to grab Baby Nebula in one handful, and at the same time seeing that Fang Han outside was actually able to struggle against a Heavenly Lord, all knew that the magical power of this sect master of theirs had already reached the realm of Heaven and Human, and would transcend in the near future; they bowed in succession.
"The Sect Master is invincible under the heavens. Your return will definitely be able to lead us to sweep away everything and establish supreme majesty in the Heavenly Realm."
The Star Master stepped forward and congratulated.
He had also cultivated to the Ancient Emperor realm with a lifespan equal to heaven and earth, but his cultivation was far inferior to his own son, Baby Nebula. It was unknown what fortuitous encounters Baby Nebula had obtained.
"Good, very good. I have indeed established majesty in the Heavenly Realm now, having already unified the Yuhua Sect of the Heavenly Realm, toppled the divine statue of Heavenly Lord Hua, and at the same time broadly accepted sects and founded the Epoch Sect. I have also solely created my own Dao of the Epoch. Now, both the Creation Sect and the Yuhua Sect are renamed to the Epoch Sect. When I cultivate to become a Heavenly Lord, I shall be called the Epoch Heavenly Lord." Fang Han's voice spread throughout the entire Hongmeng Palace.
"Is this our former Sect Master? The Founding Ancestor of the sect?"
"Such formidable strength… I kept hearing how formidable our Founding Ancestor is. Today, I've finally seen him, he is actually going to cultivate to the realm of a supreme Heavenly Lord. A Heavenly Lord, that is a Heavenly Lord!"
"Our Ancestor is named Fang Han. Look at that imposing momentum…"
"Is our Creation Sect going to be renamed to the Epoch Sect?"…
Many, many voices transmitted over from afar; they were the original Creation Sect disciples developed by Fang Han. In the secular world, Fang Han had subdued various kinds of humans, devils, demons, and even the God Race, forming the Creation Sect. All of them were brought up by Linglong Immortal Venerable when she ascended, entering the Hongmeng Secret Vault to cultivate.
After a very long period of development, the number of people grew more and more, almost equivalent to the sum of hundreds of Supreme Great Sects in the ten thousand vast provinces of the Heavenly Realm.
Looking past with a single glance, Emperors, Saints, Origin Immortals, Ancestor Immortals, and Golden Immortals were densely packed together, with even more experts at the Ancient Emperor level.
"Fang Han, during that great tribulation of the God Race, a change occurred in heaven and earth, so I directly led this group of figures to ascend. As soon as we arrived in the Heavenly Realm, we received the guidance of the Hongmeng Secret Vault, entered it, and then began arranging cultivation. In this Hongmeng Secret Vault, there are countless medicinal pills, magical treasures, and six Heavenly Veins, which were left behind by Daoist Hongmeng back then, along with various Dao books, absolute martial arts, and cultivation comprehensions. We obtained the protection of the Hongmeng Secret Vault, which even a Heavenly Lord cannot break, so we are very safe. Moreover, our Hongmeng Secret Vault can drift everywhere, shuttling through the endless alternate realms of the Heavenly Realm. The sect disciples battle with countless experts of the alternate realms, so there is no lack of actual combat experience either. However, it's a pity that no one is able to advance to the realm of a Heavenly Lord; even I am continuously unable to cultivate to become a Heavenly Lord."
Linglong Immortal Venerable said with a regretful face.
"What? Six Heavenly Veins! In this hall of the Hongmeng Secret Vault, there are a total of six Heavenly Veins!" Even with Fang Han's composure, he could not help but be startled: "The Heavenly Court only has one Heavenly Vein, yet there are actually so many here! How many experts could that produce? Using it to nurture disciples is too extravagant."
Using Heavenly Veins directly to nurture disciples—this kind of conduct was indeed incomparably extravagant.
At the very least, the Zhongzhou Epoch Sect founded by Fang Han now did not have this strength.
With a single glance, Fang Han discovered many King Grade Immortal Artifacts, fully hundreds of them, nearing a thousand. In the hands of many experts, they had already been refined to the point where the person and the weapon merged into one.
These were clearly all treasures from within the Hongmeng Secret Vault. Daoist Hongmeng was indeed worthy of being one of the strongest from antiquity; the massive treasure house left behind could completely rival the Heavenly Court's treasure house, except it just lacked fragments of Fortune Divine Artifacts.
Because Fang Han's sensing towards fragments of Fortune Divine Artifacts was extremely acute right now.
"Also, Fang Han, Feng Baiyu was originally cultivating inside here as well. It is a pity that not long ago, he suddenly left. The Terminator Sacred King sealed within his body was about to break out of the seal. Too bad you came late, otherwise you would have been able to see him. Of course, Mi Bao was originally cultivating inside here too, and her cultivation speed was extremely fast, very quickly comprehending the realm of having a lifespan equal to heaven and earth. It is just a pity that she also suddenly went missing not long ago. She went missing when she went out to battle experts of alternate realms, but I used the Hongmeng Secret Technique to perform a deduction for a while; she is not in danger, but rather obtained fortuitous encounters, and might have gone to the Origin Dynasty at the distant end of heaven and earth. As for Fang Qingxue, I also do not know where she went; she has never appeared."
Linglong Immortal Venerable explained.
"It does not matter, as long as I have cultivated to the realm of a Heavenly Lord, meeting anyone will be very easy." Fang Han waved his hand dismissively, "I did not expect that within this Hongmeng Secret Vault, there are so many Heavenly Veins, enough for my needs to advance to a Heavenly Lord. I was originally still worrying about the massive origin qi needed to cultivate to a Heavenly Lord, but now everything is easily resolved."
"Exactly how much certainty do you have in cultivating a Heavenly Lord? I don't even have a one-layer certainty! Not long ago, I attempted to break through the realm of a Heavenly Lord. It's a pity that as soon as I triggered the tribulation, I almost died. Fortunately, I was in the Hongmeng Secret Vault and received the soul-summoning of the talisman left behind by Daoist Hongmeng, otherwise I would have died immediately." Linglong Immortal Venerable had lingering fears in her heart.
