"Indeed, it is the method of an Immortal King. The refinement technique of this Immortal King Pill is no trivial matter. I cannot decipher it; I can only study it piece by piece." Letting out a long breath, Fang Han said secretly, feeling extreme admiration in his heart toward the refinement technique of the Immortal King Pill.
This was no longer a medicinal pill that Heavenly Lords could refine.
Although it was all the Qi of Eternal Life, the Qi of Eternal Life refined into the Immortal King Pill was condensed with a special boundary and method, enabling cultivators to completely absorb and integrate it into their bodies. As for the ordinary Qi of Eternal Life filling the space between heaven and earth, even if Heavenly Lord level experts inhaled it into their bodies, there would be a loss during refinement, and even if a portion was refined, it would slowly leak out from the body.
The Qi of Eternal Life was an air current that was extremely difficult to refine.
Even if one obtained a massive amount of the Qi of Eternal Life, they would have to expend a vast amount of energy to directly refine it.
However, this Immortal King Pill was different.
Through special methods, the Qi of Eternal Life was condensed to a certain height, allowing cultivators to absorb it directly, thereby achieving a perfect effect.
The same Qi of Eternal Life had heaven and earth-turning changes when utilized, because the structure within it had already been entirely changed.
This was like the difference between charcoal and diamonds.
Both charcoal and diamonds were carbon, but because their internal structures had undergone changes, they appeared to be worlds apart. One was a cloud, the other was mud.
Right now, the Qi of Eternal Life and the Immortal King Pill had exactly this kind of difference.
This method of condensing the Qi of Eternal Life into an Immortal King Pill was absolutely not something a Heavenly Lord could execute. Only an Immortal King, a true Immortal King, could ultimately condense it. In a split second, Fang Han felt that with his current cultivation, he was probably still unable to refine it successfully.
Originally, he had thought about deciphering the refinement method of this Immortal King Pill to suddenly become vastly wealthy, exchanging it for enough treasures, divine items of the myriad heavens, and Heavenly Lord origin sources within this Realm Above the Realm, thereby elevating his cultivation once again.
Further, if he comprehended the manufacturing method of the Immortal King Pill, inhaling and exhaling the Qi of Eternal Life to manufacture Immortal King Pills and swallowing them to cultivate, his cultivation could also advance by leaps and bounds.
The reason the Immortal King Pill was called the Immortal King Pill was that only Immortal Kings could refine it, and also because the medicinal pill contained the intent of an Immortal King. This allowed the masses to receive the baptism of an Immortal King when consuming the medicinal pill. Even the most inept Heavenly Lord could instantly sense the authenticity of this Immortal King Pill.
Therefore, it was impossible to use fake Immortal King Pills to muddle through.
Within a tiny Immortal King Pill, countless spiritual talismans intertwined, and three thousand great formations rotated in a cryptic structure, thoroughly manifesting the supreme profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The three thousand great formations within this tiny medicinal pill were somewhat similar to divine items like the Heaven Burying Coffin and the Zen Conferring Altar, but not entirely the same. It was another form of expression of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Heavenly Lords could not imitate it; their boundary was insufficient.
"If I had time to comprehend it in tranquility, it is not guaranteed that I couldn't comprehend it. Upon my body, I have so many divine items of the myriad heavens forged by Immortal Kings, as well as an Immortal King skeleton! Furthermore, I have comprehended the Minor Destiny Spell. Within this Realm Above the Realm, being the closest place to the Gate of Eternal Life, I need to cultivate the Minor Destiny Spell a bit. If I can comprehend the Great Destiny Spell, that would be even better. If I cannot comprehend it, taking another step forward might still hold hope for simulating the condensation method of this Immortal King Pill."
Fang Han's heart settled, and plan after plan surged up from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother Fang Han, do you have anything else to sell?" Seeing Fang Han stop and ponder over something, remaining motionless for a long time, the Ma Wu Heavenly Lord finally could not bear it anymore.
"Nothing else."
Fang Han waved his hand. "Brother Ma Wu has been attentive. I will come back in a few days. The Heavenly Realm does not have Immortal King Pills; to think that upon entering the Realm Above the Realm, there is such a miraculously wonderful item. I need to go and hunt some valuable things so as to exchange them for Immortal King Pills."
"Oh? Very well then, I will stay right here and congratulate Brother Fang Han in advance on hunting good items. Within this Realm Above the Realm, there are incomparably formidable magical beasts. Once you slay one, it is worth a fortune." Ma Wu Heavenly Lord cupped his hands, remaining unruffled, seemingly having grown accustomed to such behavior. There were quite a few Heavenly Lords who arrived in the Realm Above the Realm from the Heavenly Realm. It was not rare. As long as one grasped the secrets of some passages to the Realm Above the Realm, they could come up to this dangerous place from the Heavenly Realm.
Fang Han immediately turned his head and departed from the "Ancient Shaman City".
Outside the Ancient Shaman City, it remained an extremely sinister hell. Demonic beasts traveled in packs, killing cultivators on sight, and even slaughtered each other. Because the Realm Above the Realm was so close to the Gate of Eternal Life, its original Qi was overly abundant, birthing formal demonic beasts of unimaginable strength. Although demonic beasts at the Heavenly Lord level were few and far between, some demonic beasts roughly equivalent to the top ten of the reserve list of Heavenly Lords in the Heavenly Realm were densely packed, simply like locusts, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. A fierce tiger could not withstand a pack of wolves; when thousands upon tens of thousands of Heavenly Master level experts formed a great formation to kill you, even a Heavenly Lord would directly be beaten until they exploded.
However, with Fang Han's cultivation, this was considered nothing.
Within a massive mountain range far away from the "Ancient Shaman City", Fang Han found a tranquil spot. Displaying his immense divine abilities, he destroyed the swarms of demonic beasts entrenched there, and then set down a great formation. Sitting squarely within it, he began to cultivate, comprehending the mysteries of the Immortal King Pill.
In reality, his current cultivation was far above that of the "Black Shaman Grandmaster". He could entirely establish an "Era City" to shelter many experts, magnifying his own majesty, and could even move the entire Origin Realm to the Realm Above the Realm.
However, he first needed to decipher the mysteries of the Immortal King Pill and find the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord Fang Qingxue, the Lord of the Crimson Abyss, and the Master of Inner Demons before talking about anything else.
Sitting squarely within the great formation he set up, an Immortal King Pill floated in front of Fang Han.
He quietly looked at this medicinal pill, the expression on his face flickering uncertainly. Suddenly, a stroke of the Minor Destiny Spell struck this medicinal pill. The medicinal pill spun round and round, instantly expanding, and many exquisitely structured, ingeniously crafted runes within it manifested before his eyes. Every single rune was not something that the methods of a Heavenly Lord could refine.
Observing for a long time, Fang Han grabbed a handful of the Qi of Eternal Life scattered within the Realm Above the Realm from mid-air. Displaying the supreme Dao of Cloning, it instantly crystallized, continuously jumping in the air, and finally condensed into a crystal pill the exact same size as the Immortal King Pill.
However, when the two were compared against each other, they fell far short.
The true Immortal King Pill entirely emitted a grand artistic conception of being elegant, unconventional, and transcendent, yet carrying the samsara of the myriad heavens, transcending life and death, leading straight to the boundary of eternal life.
If the true Immortal King Pill was an emperor, then the fake Immortal King crystal pill Fang Han condensed was equivalent to a monkey wearing a crown—a dressed-up clown.
The difference was truly too vast. Let alone a Heavenly Lord, even an ordinary person could tell the genuine from the fake.
"No, I cannot manufacture the Immortal King Pill. The structure within it is truly too exquisite, and the unique Qi of an Immortal King cannot be imitated either. However, I refuse to believe that this Immortal King Pill was manufactured by an Immortal King. One must know, there are currently no Immortal Kings between heaven and earth, yet the common currency in the Realm Above the Realm is still the Immortal King Pill. This indicates that there must be an expert who is not an Immortal King, or a divine item, a divine item capable of manufacturing Immortal King Pills…"
Fang Han's deductions were absolutely foolproof, and he immediately found the crucial point.
He closed his eyes, comprehending once again, repeatedly practicing the Minor Destiny Spell. Sure enough, within this Realm Above the Realm, his comprehension of the Minor Destiny Spell became more profound. Entering entirely into a deep state of meditation, Fang Han subtly sensed the massive destiny ubiquitous across the myriad heavens. Destiny was that surging long river, dividing into endless and inexhaustible tributary streams, pouring into every single person; even planes had their own destiny.
"As long as it exists, it has a destiny; existence is destiny." Suddenly, Fang Han realized much more regarding the profound mysteries of the Minor Destiny Spell transforming into the Great Destiny Spell.
In a trance, within the mysterious depths of this Realm Above the Realm, he once again sensed the existence of the Gate of Eternal Life. A portal presented a color that had never been seen before, towering within the endless nothingness. This portal was the original point of the entire heaven and earth, the universe, the sole truth.
"Destiny is eternal, circulating since ancient times…" Fang Han struck out countless spell seals, washing over repeatedly with the Minor Destiny Spell. Finally, the powerful power of destiny condensed into torrents in the mid-air. These torrents formed runes, condensing into an identical Gate of Eternal Life in the mid-air.
Rumble!
Fang Han's technique changed, and the peerlessly rapid hand seals suddenly became slow. One gesture after another, it was simply incomparably difficult, as if he were holding the weight of thousands upon millions of worlds.
The phantom image of the Gate of Eternal Life finally condensed into form, and within the void, an obscure immense power fiercely poured onto Fang Han's body.
That was the aura of destiny.
In an instant, within Fang Han's mind, all objects manifested their own destinies. Almost within a single glance, he saw through a person's past, present, and future.
Moreover, the aura of his Minor Destiny Spell shifted, transforming into the aura of true destiny. Furthermore, he even felt that he might actually be capable of executing the Great Destiny Spell, summoning that peerlessly great existence from obscurity. The Gate of Eternal Life!
"Could this be the Great Destiny Spell? Have I finally taken the last step, the degree of comprehending destiny? Transforming minor destiny into Great Destiny?" Fang Han muttered in his mouth; his cultivation was continuously increasing.
That aura of destiny transformed from minor destiny caused the crystal divine nations all over his body to be washed over once again. Every single divine nation composing his body was trembling continuously. An aura of perfect completion emerged from them, and the shadows of many divine items of the myriad heavens within all transformed into one entity, which was the Gate of Eternal Life.
Within the crystal divine nations as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, the shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life was reflected.
Compared to just now, Fang Han's power suddenly doubled, and was still constantly growing. This was an epiphany, a historic breakthrough.
He had actually faintly pushed the Minor Destiny Spell to breakthrough to the boundary of the Great Destiny Spell!
