"Five Elements Spiritual Roots! You mean the Five Elements Spiritual Roots obtained by Meng Shaobai?" Wu Li actually trembled all over.
"Yes, exactly the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Otherwise, Junior Brother Meng Shaobai wouldn't have reached the pinnacle of the sixth realm of divine abilities, the Origin Return Realm, at the mere age of twelve. Known as the Little Immortal. He went traveling in the wildlands again last year, saying he absolutely wouldn't return to the sect unless he successfully cultivated the Golden Pill. I reckon he will return soon; once he returns, our Yuhua Sect will definitely add another Golden Pill expert! Once, I curried favor with him using a piece of Profound Iron Golden Crystal, and obtained the news regarding the Five Elements Spiritual Roots." Xuantie Zhenren said.
"Where are there Five Elements Spiritual Roots!" Wu Li asked hurriedly.
"Desolate God Temple!" Xuantie Zhenren lowered his voice, spitting out these four words from his mouth.
"Desolate God Temple! That perilous land!" All the disciples gasped.
Xuantie Zhenren laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter if it is perilous; we will sell this information to Fang Han; we do not need to worry he won't take the bait. For him to catch up to Hua Tiandu within ten years, he absolutely must have the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. The Desolate God Temple contains massive amounts of treasures, which I have long wished to explore, only it is perilous inside. But this time we can also borrow Fang Han's power, letting him lead the vanguard. Wouldn't we reap the benefits exclusively?"
"Marvelous! Truly marvelous! Firstly to obtain Fang Han's spiritual pills and dharma formulas, and secondly to let him lead the vanguard, while we follow behind to reap the benefits! It can truly be called killing two birds with one stone." A disciple praised.
"Of course, he is still a bit tender after all. Moreover, he bears the pressure of a ten-year gamble. This is a great opportunity for us to reap massive benefits!" Xuantie Zhenren stoked his jaw beard, standing up, "Various Junior Brothers, follow me to Samsara Peak."
On "Samsara Peak," after half a month of cultivation and refining pills, Fang Han also knew that the news of his capability to refine "Origin Infant Pills" had set off a crazy frenzy throughout the entire sect.
However, he remained steadfast, quietly waiting for changes. While refining the Monster God's palm with Jialan, Long Xuan, Fang Qingxue, and the others, he bitterly cultivated the "Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities."
What was most important for him right now was not refining "Origin Infant Pills," but rather successfully cultivating the "Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities." Once all five elements were complete, he would be able to step into the Origin Return Realm.
However, the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities were all supreme-level divine abilities, extremely difficult to successfully cultivate.
Currently, the only one he had cultivated to grand completion was one type, which was the "Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art." And that was only perfected with the aid of the World Tree. Even for the "Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi," although it had absorbed the Fire Cloud Fairy's treasure artifact "Vermillion Bird Banner," it still lacked some maturity.
As for the remaining "Earth Sovereign, Water Sovereign, Metal Sovereign," it goes without saying even more.
Every kind of divine ability required one or two sixty-year cycles to condense.
Going on like this, stepping into the Origin Return Realm would also be extremely difficult; he could only endure bitterly.
"After stirring up a storm within the sect regarding the Origin Infant Pill matter, I still have to travel outside, look for five elements magic treasures to absorb, to cultivate the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities. To quickly cultivate the five elements cycle, I must definitely have heavenly materials and earthly treasures condensed from five elements qi."
"Black Water King Snake!" After Fang Han pondered for a moment, utilizing his magic power, two long teeth flew out from the Yellow Spring Diagram, which were precisely the venomous fangs of the Black Water King Snake! Extremely precious.
The flesh and blood of the entire Black Water King Snake had already been refined into blood pills, eaten away during the eighteen years of being trapped. Now, of a single Black Water King Snake, only a skin and two venomous fangs remained.
Fang Han's fingers flicked now, and wisps of gang qi surfaced from his body, condensing into several array formations imprinted onto the two venomous fangs. Inhaling and exhaling a breath, instantly two streams of flames sprayed from his mouth. One stream of flame formed a Vermillion Bird firebird, while the other stream formed a Phoenix.
One Vermillion Bird, one Phoenix, lunged at the two venomous fangs. Instantly, the two venomous fangs vaporized. The powerful flame force was who knows how many times higher than earth fire.
"Vermillion Bird Dance, Phoenix Cry!"
Jialan took one look and knew they were two extremely formidable fire element great divine abilities. They were divine abilities from the Fire Cloud Fairy's Golden Pill; after being stolen by Fang Han, they commanded the same power of a Golden Pill expert.
At the fifth realm Heaven-Man Realm, one can refine spiritual artifacts, and finding good materials enables the refinement of treasure artifacts. Fang Han was precisely refining two flying sword treasure artifacts. Subsequenly, Fang Han grabbed with his hand, and the Sonic Killing Demonic Blade on Princess Hongyi skyrocketed and broke apart with a boom, also integrating into the two masses of origin qi.
Before long, the two venomous fangs transformed anew into two flying swords, pitch-black and profound, with fiery patterns and bird-shaped texts flashing upon them.
"Immortal Crane, Hongyi, these are already two low-grade flying sword treasure artifacts! Their power is immense, a notch higher than the Sonic Killing Demonic Blade, and they can even transform into armor to protect the body." Accompanied by Fang Han's voice, these two flying swords landed in the hands of Immortal Crane and Princess Hongyi.
"These two swords, give them a name, call them Dragon Bird Swords!"
The Black Water King Snake, especially one that transformed into a flood dragon, had a body made entirely of treasures. After being refined by Fang Han using the two divine abilities "Vermillion Bird Dance" and "Phoenix Cry," they had already turned into treasure artifacts. Their lethal power completely surpassed the Sonic Killing Demonic Blade, and they could even compare with Ye Nantian's "Eight Desolations Divine Sword."
For an inner sect disciple to possess such a treasure artifact, that was truly remarkable; considerably affluent.
"Is Fang Han present? Xuantie Zhenren of Xuantie Peak and numerous senior and junior brothers present themselves for a visit. We wonder if we might intrude?" A vigorous voice transmitted inward.
"Xuantie Zhenren?" Fang Han frowned.
"Xuantie Zhenren is an expert at the sixth realm of divine abilities, the Origin Return Realm. He has more seniority than I do. However, his luck was slightly lacking, and his cultivation is not as high as mine; he still has not successfully cultivated the Golden Pill. But he is also one of the Golden Pill candidates, arguably having been hooked by your Origin Infant Pills." Jialan smiled: "By tossing out this bait that is the Origin Infant Pill, who knows how many disciples, or even sect elders, will take the hook."
"I will go meet him."
Fang Han stood up.
Outside "Samsara Peak," the radiant light was currently faint and indistinct. Atop clusters of auspicious clouds stood five Daoists of uncommon bearing, exuding powerful magic power from their bodies.
Fang Han could tell at a glance that among those five Daoists, the one dressed in black iron-like clothes possessed the highest Dao techniques! He was actually two or three parts more formidable than even the Seven Leaves Demon Lord.
As the other four Daoists breathed in and out, formations could be vaguely seen condensing into form; they were also actually experts of the Heaven-Man Realm.
"The one in black is Xuantie. The one in dark golden clothes is named Wu Li, whose innate aptitude is excellent. And also the most untamed and arrogant…" Jialan's voice transmitted into Fang Han's mind, introducing the formidability and background of these five true disciples. What divine abilities they cultivated, allowing Fang Han to know them like the back of his hand.
"Everyone and I are all fellow disciples. No need for formalities; please descend and come to my pill room to converse." Fang Han cupped his hands.
Xuantie and the others looked at each other, slowly descended, arrived in front of the grand hall plaza, and following Fang Han's guidance, entered the pill room. Seeing Jialan and Fang Qingxue at a glance, they were stunned for a moment, yet did not call out Senior Sister Jialan, merely nodding and sitting down cross-legged.
His seniority was older than Jialan's, merely not having successfully cultivated the Golden Pill yet. Naturally, he was unwilling to call a junior "Senior Sister."
Of course, Jialan, Fang Qingxue, Ye Piaoling, Luo Shui, Sha Qingmei, and Long Xuan also paid no heed to him. Instead, they floated in midair in the pill room, surrounding the "Five Hells King Cauldron," executing various hand seals, viciously refining the "Monster God's palm." Majestic monster qi and essence blood rolled like a dragon. Seeing this, the group of Xuantie Zhenren looked much more solemn.
"The reason everyone came here is for this Fang's Origin Infant Pills, I assume."
Fang Han also sat down, looking at the five people who "came with ill intentions." Tossing out the bait of the Origin Infant Pills these days intrigued many inner and outer sect disciples, but true disciples had not taken the bait. Now that they did, it was immediately five formidable figures, making him inevitably calculate secretly in his heart.
Xuantie Zhenren, Wu Li… these five individuals could be considered the superior force among the true disciples. If they could loyally submit to his use, then within the sect, he could immediately be said to summon wind and call the rain.
Among the over a hundred true disciples of the Yuhua Sect, the Golden Pill was the top-tier; we shall skip over those mere five. But those of the "Heaven-Man Realm" and "Origin Return Realm" were not in the minority; there absolutely were ten or twenty. Among them were also individuals of hidden dragons and crouching tigers hiding very deeply. If these people were collectively won over, then… Hua Tiandu would absolutely not hold too much authority within the sect.
Thinking about himself, upon a single command, all true disciples would obey and cooperate, all inner sect disciples would praise in unison, and all outer sect disciples would revere him as a god. Having such imposing momentum, once deep-rooted, it was entirely possible to find an opportunity in the future to banish Hua Tiandu from the Yuhua Sect.
He could even pin Hua Tiandu with a foundational charge of communicating with the Taiyi Sect and plotting against the Yuhua Sect.
"Today true disciples come seeking me, tomorrow some elders of the sect might not abstain from coming to find me either… Hua Tiandu, let us see if your abundant resources from obtaining the Dao lineage of Immortal Venerable Panwu win out, or if my abundant resources from possessing the World Tree win out!"
In a flash, countless thoughts turned inside his heart, finally steadying his mind. He knew that subduing these characters would absolutely not be easy. Who knew, the opponent might even plot against him and try to subdue him instead.
"It is not actually for the Origin Infant Pills, but rather for Junior Brother Fang Han's cultivation!" Xuantie Zhenren was a formidable character; a single sentence expressed it vividly and incisively!
"Oh, for my cultivation, how so?" Fang Han smiled faintly.
"What Junior Brother cultivates is the legendary Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities, right." Xuantie Zhenren said with a well-thought-out plan: "The Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities are the absolute pinnacle and supreme divine abilities among five-element divine abilities. The five-element essence qi required is also massive. I wonder how many lines Junior Brother has successfully cultivated now?"
"Barely successfully cultivated one line of wood-element divine ability." Fang Han lowered his eyelids.
"Oh. It seems for the remaining divine abilities, it will take at least three to five hundred years for Junior Brother to successfully cultivate them." Xuantie Zhenren exchanged a glance with the other people, "I wonder how Junior Brother's gamble with Senior Brother Tiandu stands?"
"Xuantie Zhenren, when I speak I do not like to beat around the bush; let us open the skylight and speak brightly." Fang Han sneered.
"Hmm?" Hearing these words from Fang Han, Xuantie Zhenren didn't react much yet. But that Wu Li raised an eyebrow, seemingly very displeased with Fang Han's attitude and about to explode. He was also a prominent and famous figure, overflowing with talent, possessing hidden methods and immortal encounters. Up until now, Fang Han had not addressed them as Senior Brother even once, and this he could not tolerate.
However, Wu Li merely smiled coldly: "I wonder if Junior Brother Fang Han has ever heard of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots?"
"Five Elements Spiritual Roots!" Hearing this, Fang Han's heart immediately shook intensely. He had actually heard of this treasure in All Worlds. This kind of item inherently contained massive amounts of pure five-element essence qi. It was a treasure dreamed of by experts of the Divine Ability Realm, but an item merely from legends. Rare to encounter in ten thousand years. Rumor has it that possessing the Five Elements Spiritual Roots and fusing them into the body allowed five-element spells one cultivated to immediately achieve grand completion. Experts of divine abilities would never have to painfully forage for wood qi, fire qi… who knows how much cultivation time it would save!
One must know, even refining the Heavenly Wood Great Method of the Yuhua Sect to grand completion required absorbing the spiritual qi of at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of trees, undergoing bitter tempering. Cultivating the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi required absorbing who knows how many metal and iron objects.
But having the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, all of this was unnecessary.
However, this kind of treasure was extremely rare, perhaps even rarer than a Dao artifact. Once one emerged, a rain of blood and storm of carnage would immediately follow.
"Do you have the Five Elements Spiritual Roots?" Fang Han raised his voice a bit.
"Such a thing, I naturally do not have." Xuantie Zhenren said: "But I actually know where it is! If Junior Brother Fang Han thinks it is worthwhile, bringing out some Origin Infant Pills, Forgetfulness Water, and the cultivation dharma formulas of the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities, we Senior Brothers would actually be willing to take Junior Brother together to that place to find the Five Elements Spiritual Roots."
"Oh?" Fang Han smiled noncommittally.
"So this means, Junior Brother agrees?" Wu Li once again exchanged glances with the several true disciples, seeming to sport a flavor of "not afraid you won't agree."
"You all calculate well! Spouting empty words and expecting to obtain my massive amounts of pills, holy water, and supreme divine abilities. Could it be you are bullying me for being ignorant?" Fang Han's gaze shifted, piercing toward Xuantie Zhenren, Wu Li, and the other experts, his voice becoming strict: "How audacious of you all! Pulling tricks on my head!"
