"Is this the seedling of the World Tree? It truly snatches the creation of heaven and earth!" At this time, Fang Han was also shocked. The fragment of the World Tree instantly growing into a seedling displayed a powerful strength that was simply unheard of and unseen. The roots actually stabbed into the infinite void, absorbing the myriad spiritual qi hidden within various unknown and mysterious voids.
He could feel that fine array formations were continuously forming on the leaves, roots, and trunk of the "World Tree." Those natural array formations rivaled the work of heaven, still constantly forming and constantly strengthening.
This seedling seemed to possess a heaven-and-man spirituality. It was a natural magic treasure, containing far more array formations inside it than the Five Hells King Cauldron. Moreover, those array formations seemed like the organs of a human body, each having its function, making heaven and earth closely connected.
The World Tree was like a bond between heaven and earth, linking the voids of myriad worlds with its root system.
Feeling the waves of majestic willpower and imposing manner, Fang Han finally knew how immense the power of the World Tree was back then, how earth-shattering it was.
"If, if it truly grows into a World Tree, will it connect to the Immortal Realm like in the immemorial era? If I climb up along the World Tree, will I be able to enter the Immortal Realm?" Strange thoughts revolved in his mind.
"For the World Tree to grow up, I fear it will be tens of millions of years from now. Even if you cultivate to the Longevity Realm, you will not see its maturity. The exact power of this sapling is still extremely weak right now. It is just right for you to refine it into your Wood Sovereign Gang Qi and merge it with the Wood Sovereign Art; otherwise, given time, you won't be able to control it!"
"Yan's" urgent voice transmitted into his mind.
"Alright? Once this thing grows up, it is indeed not something I can control. If it reaches a certain level of maturity, even Longevity Realm experts wouldn't be able to control it. I will refine it into my natal magic treasure first! Just like the three heavenly lions of Yao Dian, Yu Fen, and Xia You."
Fang Han dared not hesitate. He immediately urged his divine abilities, rushing his Wood Sovereign Gang Qi into the World Tree seedling, intending to thoroughly refine this seedling for his own use.
The moment the seedling was rushed by Fang Han's gang qi, it immediately produced changes again. Amidst the flying branches and leaves, resembling human hands, a human face actually vaguely appeared in the center of the tree trunk, just like the treants in legends.
This vague human face faintly resembled Fang Han's appearance.
"Good! Finally refined into my natal magic treasure!"
Fang Han let out a loud roar of pleasant surprise. In the moment his face appeared on the tree trunk, he felt his soul merge as one with the seedling, indistinguishable from each other. And the roots of the tree seemed to become his own arms, his own hair, extending into the void. Wisps of the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi were absorbed in by him, nourishing the seedling, while the rest replenished his own body, nourishing his spirit and magic power.
He cultivated the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, and this seedling itself was nurtured by him. Precisely because of this, he was able to refine it so easily.
"Hahahahahaha, those who eat qi, divine and immortal un-dying! I actually reached the realm of eating qi! From now on, I will no longer need pills; relying on the World Tree, I can directly extract the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi from the void! My cultivation will advance a thousand miles a day…"
For experts of the Divine Ability Realm, their food was various refined pills. Relying on pills containing immense origin qi, they replenished the physical body, strengthened the spirit, thereby elevating their magic power step by step.
While experts of the Longevity Realm did not need to consume any pills. With powerful magic power, they extended beyond the nine heavens, to the various heavens and myriad worlds, touching the edge of the mysterious Immortal Realm, extracting the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi from within, taking it directly to consume!
This is the "eater of qi"!
Divine and immortal un-dying!
Even if Fang Han cultivated for another thousand years, he could not reach this realm, but relying on the World Tree, he had reached this dream-like realm.
The World Tree inherently possessed the function of communicating with the Immortal Realm. Its miraculousness was unimaginable; it could, like Longevity Realm experts, extract the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi to nourish itself, enabling itself to grow.
Thus, Fang Han could also drink a little bit of the leftover "soup." The remaining Immortal Realm spiritual qi extracted by the World Tree continuously nourished him.
From then on, he needed no pills or food, and could genuinely go without eating or drinking!
Because the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi was much purer than any pill.
Even the Taiyi Sect's Human-tier supreme grade pill, the Origin Infant Pill, could not compare to the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi.
Fang Han seemed to feel that every time he circulated his gang qi through a complete cycle, refining the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi obtained from the World Tree sapling into magic power, his power would increase by one horse.
This speed of cultivation was ten times! A hundred times faster than anyone else! It was truly appalling.
Because right now, it was as if he was isolated and cultivating in the Yuhua Sect's "Minor Immortal Realm" every single moment. Moreover, for a regular Divine Ability Realm expert cultivating in the "Minor Immortal Realm," refining the immortal qi within was extremely difficult.
The Immortal Realm's spiritual qi was not that easy to refine.
But the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi Fang Han absorbed now, having been filtered through the World Tree sapling, was equivalent to being recast and refined once, turning the fierce spiritual qi mild, soft and thin, profound and protracted, making it easier for people to absorb.
Fang Han roared wildly; he had no reason not to be happy.
"With the World Tree sapling constantly absorbing the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi for me, I truly have hope of surpassing Hua Tiandu within ten years! At this very moment, I can finally be considered to have seen hope!"
Indeed, without this extraordinary encounter, it would be difficult for him to successfully cultivate the seventh realm of divine abilities, the Daoist Golden Pill, and the divine ability seed within ten years. Let alone combating someone like Hua Tiandu, who was at the tenth realm of divine abilities and had defied heaven and changed fate.
Amidst his wild roaring, the World Tree sapling shrank, turning into a streak of flowing light, entering the central Ancestral Orifice acupuncture point on his glabella. Closing his eyes and looking inward, he would discover this sapling quietly residing at his glabella, its countless roots still stabbing into the void. With a slight breath, origin qi came billowing in.
"Now, with my gang qi at grand completion, I can comprehend yin and yang! But my current power! It's fully the force of fifty thousand fiery horses. Furthermore, as long as the World Tree doesn't die, my physical strength will not decline, and my magic power will not fail."
Possessing the World Tree was equivalent to possessing infinite Magic Crystal jade stones. Even if besieged by someone with immense magic power, he would not become physically exhausted or run out of oil and have his lamp die out, always able to maintain abundant magic power. Let alone needing to rest after flying in the sky for a short while. Now he could execute his gang qi in one breath, flying for ten days and ten nights without needing to rest, without needing to eat or drink, still retaining abundant magic power.
This was also the capability of Longevity Realm experts.
Some Longevity Realm experts, when sealed away by someone, even for three thousand years, or even ten thousand years, would not die. Once released, they were still alive and kicking; this was the result of being able to extract the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi at every single moment.
Originally, once Fang Han refined gang qi, he possessed the power of thirty thousand fiery horses. Now, relying on the World Tree fragment turning into a sapling and absorbing the wood spiritual qi, his gang qi reached grand completion, saving years of bitter effort, and his power massively increased again, already approaching fifty thousand.
This was an appalling number.
Ordinary Gang Qi Realm experts only had one thousand to three thousand, at most five thousand horse power. The Target Island Master was a Gang Qi Realm expert, and he had less than two thousand in magic power.
And now Fang Han’s power was ten times greater than that of ordinary Gang Qi Realm experts. If this spread out, even Taiyi Sect disciples would likely cry out "inconceivable." Of course, Fang Han would not spread it out; retaining strength was better, lest he face jealousy and secret plotting.
Approaching the galloping force of fifty thousand fiery horses, among experts below the Heaven-Man Realm, he was absolutely invincible.
Even an expert like "Yao Dian," having consumed the "Mad Demon Lifespan-Reducing Pill," Fang Han could totally slay him without resorting to the power of the Five Hells King Cauldron.
In an instant, Fang Han's strength surged immensely!
However, the benefits "Yan" obtained seemed to be even greater than his. A majestic "dragon qi" propagated from the Yellow Spring Diagram. Fang Han hurriedly divided his spirit to investigate, and saw "Yan's" physique was fully five times larger than before. The scales all over his body were vibrant and plump, every single "dragon scale" shimmering as if cast from gold. His whiskers were exceedingly long, mighty like a god, and profound as a prison.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha! The Nine Yang Holy Water has finally been completely absorbed by me! Restoring me to the level of the Heaven-Man Realm, I can finally condense array formations! The various wondrous uses of the Yellow Spring Diagram can also be executed by me now!"
Yan’s dragon roar was released without any restraint.
"Let's go! Fang Han, let's charge out and tear this Seven Leaves Demon Lord apart alive, to actually dare refine us. He has grown tired of living!"
"I have exactly the same intention."
Fang Han propped himself up with both hands, moving his entire person to actually fly out of the King Cauldron!
…
"My Nine Yang Holy Water!"
"This is an alms bowl of holy water Lord Nine Yang Demon God gave me! It was for when I cultivated to the grand completion of the Origin Return Realm, to fuse numerous divine abilities together and successfully cultivate the Heavenly Demon Golden Pill! Now, now it's all gone! Ah… Damn it! What kind of freak is this! I will kill you, and re-refine you into holy water! To make up for my losses!"
At this very moment, the "Seven Leaves Demon Lord" was enraged, completely enraged, becoming somewhat hysterical.
Just now he saw roots stabbing out from the void, reaching into the alms bowl holding the Nine Yang Holy Water, and knew things were bad. He was about to execute his demonic arts to withdraw the Nine Yang Holy Water, but he was too late.
That holy water was entirely sucked away in just a few breaths' time.
In an instant, not a single drop remained.
It all entered the King Cauldron, clearly having been absorbed by the opponent.
No matter what, he never dreamed that the opponent actually possessed the Yellow Spring Diagram and the World Tree fragment, two rare items between heaven and earth. His loss this time could not be said to be un-massive. The Nine Yang Holy Water had a great effect on his condensing the Heavenly Demon Golden Pill; losing all of it meant he could never successfully cultivate the Heavenly Demon Golden Pill again and ascend to heaven in a single step.
"Do you still want to kill me?"
Fang Han roared as he blew out of the cauldron, "Today is your designated day of death. A son of a Demon God, eradicated by me, I do not know how great a reward my Yuhua Sect will give me!"
