Dragon Form Flying Tiger Steps!
Fang Han used this opportunity to digest the dispersed medicinal power of the "Nine Orifices Golden Pill". With his body standing, he stepped upon the ground like a dragon and resembling a tiger, roaming all across the floor. This was precisely the "Dragon Form Flying Tiger Steps" he had just learned.
The Ascension Sect's three foundational martial arts. He had already learned the "Pine Crane Myriad Longevity Fist". The "Flying Spirit Pliant Bone Body" was an evasion technique, training the whole body to be "pliant as if boneless", soft like silk and cotton.
As for the "Dragon Form Flying Tiger Steps", it was an extremely profound and mysterious footwork. Its profound mysteries were not beneath the "Stepping on Seven Stars" of the "Seven Stars Fist". Currently, Fang Han integrated the medicinal power of the Nine Orifices Golden Pill, verifying the foundational martial arts of both immortal sects again, combined with the practical combat against the "Divine Force Puppet", and also the scene-by-scene experiences of the many powerful family disciples battling today.
He benefited greatly without limit, absolutely benefited greatly without limit.
"Tiger pounce, dragon roam!"
With a long whistle, he executed the footwork. In his mind emerged the imagination of an azure dragon and a white tiger, dragon and tiger roaming in an abyss. His body seemed like a roaming dragon, his qi like a fierce tiger. The breath swirled completely around his body, and within his internal organs, a genuine sense of rhythm was struck.
Dragon inhale!
Tiger swallow!
Dragon essence!
Tiger ferocity!
While roaming and moving about, in a trance-like mystery, Fang Han entered a state where both objects and himself were forgotten once again. His inner organs seemed to shrink, shrink, and shrink once more without limit, condensing into bundles.
Internally, solid as iron!
"Pu!" All of a sudden, his breath surged upwards, and he felt a wad of thick phlegm stuck inside his throat, uncomfortable as if pulling a pair of bellows. Thus, with a cough, he instantly truly spat out a large mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood.
After spitting out the thick phlegm mixed with blood, his entire body was refreshed and comfortable.
Fang Han pushed his tongue against his upper palate, and instantly, his mouth was full of saliva generated, as if there was fine jade nectar inside his mouth. With a slight movement, that fine jade nectar between his tongue gurgled and bubbled out, akin to clear wind and air currents, winding around his entire body, rendering his entire interior thoroughly refreshed.
A person at this realm prolongs their lifespan, and their internal organs will not generate a hundred illnesses.
"Is this the realm of Internal Strengthening? The book just recorded that if the interior is strong, fine jade nectar will continuously generate in the mouth. Among the viscera and bowels, impurities are completely absent! My constitution has elevated a step further. It seems I have reached this realm! The seventh tier of the Physical Body Realm! Internal Strengthening!"
Carefully sensing his own realm, Fang Han immediately knew that he had taken a step further once again.
"At the opening of my heart, that 'Nine Orifices Golden Pill' seems to have shrunk significantly. It seems the medicinal power has melted pretty much entirely. Perhaps in advancing one more realm, the medicinal power will all be completely diffused into the body. When that time comes, I will have to entirely rely on my own cultivation."
Sensing the changes of the Nine Orifices Golden Pill slightly, Fang Han licked his lips.
Subsequently, he flipped open another jade book, "Ascension Sect Rules".
"These sect rules are only useful for weak and small disciples. For a True Heritage Disciple like the Eldest Miss Fang Qingxue, what the hell rules are there. Throughout history, rules and laws are always for restraining the weak, and are trampled upon by the strong. I won't look at it first, I'll see the book introducing the world from the Ascension Sect."
While speaking, Fang Han tossed the sect rules aside, and flipped open the other jade book, "All Worlds".
Among the welfare distributed by the sect, there were a total of five jade books. Three were martial arts, one was the sect rules, and there was also one that was exactly "All Worlds". These three simple characters revealed a vast, boundless expanse.
After this book was opened, there were still alternating images of light and shadow. Rows upon rows of a table of contents displayed before Fang Han.
"Ten Sects of the Immortal Path!"
"Seven Branches of the Demonic Path!"
"Five Schools of the Monster Path!"
"Unorthodox Paths and Side Doors!"
"Underground Abysses!"
"Extra-terrestrial Starry Skies!"
"Endless Oceans!"
"Ancient Secret Anecdotes!"
"Treasures and Rare Curiosities!"
"Dynasties of the World!"
"Void Grotto-Heavens!"
…
There were a full thousand of these table of contents, flowing down the line, making Fang Han's eyes dizzy with sorting through them. He absolutely had not anticipated that the world was this splendid. Settling his mind, he flipped to the general outline of the book "All Worlds".
"The immensity of the world, even if one steps into the Longevity Mystery Realm, one cannot glimpse a ten-thousandth of it. This venerable one solely records what was seen and heard, compiling 'All Worlds' into a book. It is required reading for Ascension Sect disciples, to know the universe of heaven and earth, and increase one's knowledge and experience…"
Upon seeing the beginning, Fang Han knew it was a book written by the Headmaster of the Ascension Sect, engraved into volumes, for all Ascension Sect disciples to read.
Within this book, there were the sects of the Immortal Path, Demonic Path, and Monster Path, various formidable figures, various magical treasures. There were also many side door wandering cultivators, many dynasties on the mainland, the ocean, the desert, demons in the underground, and various void grotto-heavens and mysterious spaces of legends within the world, as well as the mysterious starry sky world in the heavens, and even more various medicinal materials, and treasures…
In any case, it encompassed all things, possessing everything.
To truly read this book completely, without three or five years, one would be unable to read it to completion.
At this time, Fang Han also came to know what the prototype of that "Divine Force Puppet", the Underground Demonic Person, exactly was. It turned out that deep inside the earth beneath his feet, there were various abysses and earth fissures. Inside, it was dark without the light of the sun, yet various demons grew there, and even races resembling humans.
Those Underground Demonic Persons were precisely a population living in some massive abysses and earth fissures underground. Sometimes they groped their way onto the surface, burning, killing, and looting. They were a severe hidden danger for some dynasties.
"Let me see what the Ten Sects of the Immortal Path are?" Fang Han also didn't have time to look at that much. Instead, he directly clicked on the directory for the Ten Sects of the Immortal Path, and instantly the names of ten sects were displayed.
"Taiyi Dao Sect", "Ascension Sect", "Myriad Stars Sect", "Heaven Reaching Sword Sect", "Pill Cauldron Sword Sect", "Sun Moon Sword Sect", "One Origin Sect", "Myriad Returning Immortal Island", "Exquisite Blessed Land", "Crystal Grotto-Heaven".
These ten major immortal cultivation sects were the universally acknowledged Ten Sects of the Immortal Path.
Scattered across all eight directions of the world, the number of disciples was completely unknown. For instance, the "Crystal Grotto-Heaven" was an entirely independent half-void space. The Headmaster inside, Crystal Son. He was the most mysterious Longevity Mystery Realm expert.
For instance, the "Exquisite Blessed Land", everyone inside was entirely female, not accepting male disciples.
Fang Han didn't pay too much excessive attention to the other nine sects of the Immortal Path. He placed the most attention squarely on the "Ascension Sect" where he resided. After all, the "Ascension Sect" was the place where he lived. Comprehending some of the stakes and relationships within could directly influence his own situation.
Dong, dong dong, dong dong dong…
Right at this moment, the sound of knocking on the door came from outside.
"Come in." Fang Han stood up.
Creak, the courtyard door opened. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman carrying a sword and wearing a luminous pearl appeared at the doorway. She was delicate and bright like a flower, with a slender and graceful figure. Wearing the Dharma uniform of the Ascension Sect even more brought out a kind of clear elegance, unblemished like a lotus blossom.
It was exactly "Commandery Princess Hongyi" whom Fang Han got acquainted with during the assessment.
"Hm? Fang Han, your martial arts actually advanced precisely?" "Commandery Princess Hongyi's" gaze was sharp; with one glance, she saw the shift in Fang Han's temperament occurring.
"I stayed at the Breath realm for a long time, the battle with the puppet today exactly broke through the bottleneck." Fang Han hurriedly said, "Right, Commandery Princess, where do you live?"
"We are all Outer Court Disciples of the Ascension Sect now, our identities are the same, in the future just calling me Hongyi will do. I live in the 'Clear Immortal Courtyard' where the female disciples reside. Right, it is evening now, aren't you going to the 'Jade Meal Hall' to eat? These next few days, every courtyard will very likely send down sect missions, we still need to undergo experiential training together."
Commandery Princess Hongyi offered a greeting, seemingly wanting to pull Fang Han along to go eat.
"Alright then, I haven't seen what the meals of the Ascension Sect are like yet." Fang Han nodded his head, feeling his stomach was quite hungry as well.
"The meals of the Ascension Sect are all immortal dishes; you couldn't eat them even in the royal palace. They are cooked directly by a Dao Artifact 'Five-Qi Immortal Cauldron' inside the Ascension Heavenly Palace. It's equivalent to the most top-tier medicinal meals, extremely regulating the body." Commandery Princess Hongyi walked and spoke simultaneously.
"Five-Qi Immortal Cauldron? A single cauldron can handle the meals for hundreds of thousands of people?" Fang Han asked in astonishment.
"What is so amazing about this, they are a Dao Artifact, a treasure that has attained the Dao. That immortal cauldron is extraordinarily large. It is rumored to be tens of acres in circumference, directly condensing the True Fire of the Sun. Cooking inexhaustible and endless delicacies. Even an ordinary chicken, after passing through the cooking of the Five-Qi Immortal Cauldron, will gain the immense nourishing efficacy of a ginseng black-bone chicken."
Within Commandery Princess Hongyi's words, envy was revealed.
"Hongyi, how do you know so much?" Fang Han asked.
"Because my mother was also a disciple of the Ascension Sect. Later she was murdered by someone. I entered the Ascension Sect and must absolutely cultivate to the Divine Ability Realm to avenge her and wipe out this hatred." Commandery Princess Hongyi spoke faintly.
"Murderers pay with their lives, debtors pay back money. Having entered the Ascension Sect, we step onto the Immortal Path, and will cultivate divine abilities." Fang Han nodded his head.
"It would be great if we could become Inner Court Disciples a bit earlier. The three major martial arts imparted to the Inner Court Disciples of the Ascension Sect: Primal Chaos Breathing Art, Prim辰 Spiritual Method, Heaven and Earth Vast Qi, are the true absolute skills of the Inner Court. The unparalleled dharmic methods to develop the potential for divine abilities. The current Pine Crane Myriad Longevity Fist, Flying Spirit Pliant Bone Body, and Dragon Form Flying Tiger Steps are merely the foundation. Relying on these three foundational martial arts, one cannot cultivate a divine ability."
Commandery Princess Hongyi shook her head.
"Primal Chaos Breathing Art, Prim辰 Spiritual Method, Heaven and Earth Vast Qi?" Fang Han carefully chewed over these three names.
"Fang Han, the competition among Outer Court Disciples is extremely intense. In the future there will be various sect missions to complete. We must look after each other to be able to get promoted to Inner Court Disciples and obtain better treatment. Uh, the Jade Meal Hall has arrived."
Walking and chatting, not long after, the two traversed through the streets of the grand city to the other end, arriving outside an expanse of a towering palace.
Upon this palace, three large characters "Jade Meal Hall" were written.
This was the place where hundreds of thousands of Outer Court Disciples, as well as Inner Court Disciples of the Ascension Sect ate their meals and drank. The expanse of the territory, was equivalent to two or three royal palaces.
Within it, countless spacious seats, fully numbering three to four hundred thousand seats. Among them, very many Outer Court Disciples were shuttling within, some conversing, some sitting at tables eating, some in groups of three, and bands of five, discussing martial dao cultivation and various sect missions.
"How incredibly spectacular, shaking a person's soul. This is the Immortal Path…"
Looking at this scene of dining, Fang Han felt shocked anew in his heart.
