"So the Ancestor Holy King wants my Great Destiny Technique…"
Fang Han finally understood. The power of the Great Destiny Technique, the head of the Three Thousand Great Daos, possessed a mysterious controlling power and an opportunity to communicate towards the Gate of Eternal Life. If the Immortal Kings inside obtained its help, it was truly possible for them to carve out a piece of heaven and earth within it.
Many heavenly divine objects were being sprayed inside the Gate of Eternal Life. Rather than waiting outside for them to be sprayed, it was better to enter inside and plunder them. Unfortunately, many Immortal Kings were trapped within it; this was Fang Han's deduction. He could even say with certainty that those Immortal Kings trapped inside the Gate of Eternal Life were definitely unable to move one by one, encountering immense trouble, otherwise why would they be willing to come out?
For each one to be so anxious to come out could only mean one thing, which is that the days inside the Gate of Eternal Life were not easy.
"The Great Destiny Technique is indeed incomparably miraculous, but I can say with certainty that if the Ancestor Holy King obtains the help of my Great Destiny Technique, he will definitely turn on me, come out and slaughter me, and absolutely will not help me seal the other Immortal Kings. Could there be anything I don't know about this person's insidious and cunning nature? Oaths simply mean nothing to them, because the Great Dao of Cause and Effect cannot be empowered onto his body, and retribution also can do nothing to them."
Fang Han's mind was crystal clear.
He currently knew absolutely nothing about the situation inside the Gate of Eternal Life. If he rashly reached an agreement with the Ancestor Holy King, and in case this Ancestor Holy King obtained massive benefits inside, could not be suppressed, and broke through the Gate of Eternal Life to come out, wouldn't he be in terrible luck?
However, Fang Han would not reject the Ancestor Holy King so quickly. He needed to deal with him superficially and obtain quite a few benefits from the Ancestor Holy King.
After a long silence, Fang Han suddenly spoke: "Ancestor Holy King, the matter you spoke of is not without room for discussion, but how can I trust you? What if you turn on me after coming out?"
"Turn on you after coming out? My reputation and status as the Ancestor Holy King is already that of an supreme sovereign in the heavens; my words are the law, would I go back on them?" The Ancestor Holy King's tone carried a trace of sharpness: "However, Fang Han, I know you are full of tricky schemes. Whatever you want to say, bring it up, and I will satisfy you one by one. As long as you agree to my conditions, everything is negotiable."
"Good, Ancestor Holy King, I know you must be feeling unbearably lonely from the seal within the Gate of Eternal Life, but my current magical power is insufficient, nothing but the cultivation of a mere fifteen epochs; urging the Great Destiny Technique will yield no effect. Why don't you enhance my cultivation a bit? Bestow an empowerment upon me, allowing me to increase my cultivation to sixteen or seventeen epochs; how about that?"
Fang Han immediately started discussing cooperation, wanting to get enough benefits.
After obtaining benefits, the Ancestor Holy King would definitely turn on him, and he would do the same.
"To tell you the truth, Fang Han, the power of us Immortal Kings is also very limited. At most, we can only elevate people to the cultivation of thirteen or fourteen epochs. You should also know that going from the cultivation of fourteen epochs to the cultivation of fifteen epochs is a massive bottleneck. Once passed, one's cultivation undergoes world-shaking changes. Therefore, in the current myriad worlds of the heavens, only the Lord of Qiankun and you have advanced to this realm. If I were not within the Gate of Eternal Life and had descended into the mortal world, it is possible I could help you break through the bottleneck. Unfortunately, right now it is beyond my power. However, it is not without a way."
The Ancestor Holy King's eyes flickered, seemingly contemplating some treacherous scheme.
"What way?"
Fang Han immediately asked, his interest exceedingly great.
"I can grant you an empowerment, but because the power blockade of the Gate of Eternal Life is too great, you must first sacrifice to me, allowing me to temporarily break free from some of the fetters of the Gate of Eternal Life, bring my power down, and infuse it into your body. This way, nothing can go wrong, and it can help you break through to the cultivation of sixteen epochs again. How about it? Furthermore, I now know that the Lightning Heavenly Monarch Fang Qingxue's cultivation is also at fourteen epochs. I can help her reach fifteen epochs." The Ancestor Holy King's voice was extremely enticing.
"Like this…" Fang Han fell into deep thought, countless calculations rising and falling. His entire body's Crystal Divine Kingdom calculated millions and billions of trillions of times in every instant.
"Fang Han, you can also not agree to me, but your current situation is extremely perilous. Many Immortal Kings have already detached their thoughts from the fetters of the Gate of Eternal Life, descended here, and begun picking inheritors, increasing magical power for some inheritors to deal with you. You ran into Taihuangtian and the others on the way just now, didn't you? They were infused with magical power jointly by the Creation Immortal King, allied with Origin, Truth, and Mythology, the four great Immortal Kings, and taught cultivation methods! Only then did they reach their current realm. Besides them, there are many, many of your enemies who have already become chess pieces of Immortal Kings. Perhaps if you slack off for a day, their cultivation might surpass yours; one cannot say for sure."
The Ancestor Holy King used both threats and temptations.
"Good! I agree to you. How exactly do we operate now, and how do I sacrifice to help you? You should generally tell me, so I can arrange it when I go back." Fang Han said.
"There is no need. These three clones of mine were forged by collecting the skeletons of Immortal Kings. They will temporarily enter your Epoch Gate alongside you to discuss great matters. You do not need to worry about me. Your current cultivation is on par with mine, and with the Lightning Heavenly Monarch added in, I am unable to stir up great waves." The three bodies of the Ancestor Holy King nodded: "Also, I will release the End Holy King as sincerity for my peace talks."
Crackling and rattling!
The prison trapping the End Holy King completely collapsed. The End Holy King held the giant axe and broke free from it.
"Ancestor Holy King! Very good, to actually set me up to lure Fang Han here. From now on, I am irreconcilable with you. Although you are of the God Race, and I am also of the God Race, you dominate the beginning, while I dominate the end. Our ideologies have simply never aligned from the start!" As soon as the End Holy King broke free, the space between his brows spread open, and he almost wanted to make a move and slaughter.
"Alright, End, you were also created by me, but you had extraordinary natural talents since you were young and actually comprehended the End… This was something I did not expect. However, after all, you are not an Immortal King, and you are still very, very far from the Great Dao of the Immortal King. I look forward to the day when you can advance to become an Immortal King and then vie with me for supremacy." The Ancestor Holy King, however, completely did not mind it.
"Alright, End! Let this grievance be put to rest here. From now on, enter my Epoch Gate and become a Supreme Elder." Fang Han smiled slightly and stopped this conflict, "In this way, all leave the Immortal King Battlefield, return to the Ascension Sect with me, and see how to cooperate with the Ancestor Holy King."
"Let's go. This Immortal King Battlefield is extremely dangerous. If we encounter powerful existences, these three incarnations of mine could also be devoured and refined by someone." The Ancestor Holy King said indifferently, seemingly threatening Fang Han, yet also seemingly reminding him.
"What? There are still powerful existences within the Immortal King Battlefield? What kind of things?" Fang Han immediately asked.
"The Barbarian Ancestor of the Barbarian Race is cultivating right in the Immortal King Battlefield. Although he is not an Immortal King, he is also an extremely tyrannical expert with a cultivation above fifteen epochs. However, he infinitely approached the Gate of Eternal Life and is now in the deepest part of the Immortal King Battlefield, sucked in by the power of the Gate of Eternal Life. However, as the great destruction of heaven and earth draws nearer and the suction force weakens, he will also appear." The End Holy King said: "Besides him, there are still some old antiques, such as the Lord of the Sea of the Sea Race, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons of the Demon Race, and several old antiques of the Beast Dao, all within it, making them extremely not to be trifled with."
"Since that is the case, then let us go. Wait until I elevate my cultivation by another realm, then I will slaughter in all directions and go find trouble with these people." Fang Han waved his hand, bringing the End Holy King, Heavenly Consort Umo, and the incarnations of the three Ancestor Holy Kings, and left this Immortal King Battlefield. The location they were at was the edge of the Immortal King Battlefield; they had not yet entered the true depths of the battlefield. The inexhaustible mysteries within the battlefield had not yet been explored, but there would always be an opportunity. Fang Han would talk about it after dealing with the Ancestor Holy King.
In the instant they left the Immortal King Battlefield, Heavenly Consort Umo received guidance from the Ancestor Holy King, separated, and left silently without a trace, laying dormant and entering into the Realm Above Realms.
And Fang Han also did not pay it any mind. Changing instantaneously in the blink of an eye, flickering unsteadily, he still arrived at a mysterious mountain range in the Realm Above Realms.
This mysterious mountain range had now already been transformed, turning into the location of the Epoch Gate. A massive city had already been constructed. Centered on the city, the continuous mountain ranges were all purified and planted with various kinds of spiritual medicines that grew rapidly. Some harmful demonic beasts were captured one after another. Countless disciples of the Epoch Gate flew about in all directions, killing demonic beasts amidst the mountain ranges to temper their Dao techniques.
The soil of this Realm Above Realms was extremely fertile and the best soil for planting spiritual medicines. A handful of soil contained the aura of divine objects. In the soil of the Realm Above Realms, over the years, who knew how many divine objects had been shattered, and how much eternal life vital energy was within it. When a medicinal material seed was planted down, it could almost immediately take root and sprout, then bear fruit. That fruit would be much better than the original, with extremely high quality.
It could be said that the spiritual medicines planted in the Realm Above Realms were the best spiritual medicines.
Especially the World Tree; it had now shrunk and taken root within the newly established Epoch City. Its root system penetrated deep into the soil of the Realm Above Realms, frantically absorbing the nutrients and the aura of divine objects within the soil. One could only see the entire World Tree growing frantically, strips of branches and leaves generated out, the world runes upon them becoming increasingly dense, almost about to cover the heavens.
It could be seen that planting the World Tree in the Realm Above Realms had also brought massive benefits.
"Fang Han, you have returned, rescuing the End Holy King back?" Sensing Fang Han's aura, Fang Qingxue appeared above Epoch City. Suddenly, she saw the three incarnations of the Ancestor Holy King, and her face instantly drastically changed. She almost immediately brought out the Nine-Nine Supreme Divine City to suppress them.
"Lightning Heavenly Monarch, long time no see." The Ancestor Holy King smiled, his eyes deep and profound, flashing a trace of extraordinary light that no one could detect, "You also need not worry about me. This time I have already properly negotiated with Fang Han to plan a grand scheme. I must borrow both of your Great Destiny Techniques to help me break free from the fetters of the Gate of Eternal Life."
