For three and a half months in a row, the Yuhua Sect was completely quiet, the disturbance had subsided, and all the disciples hid themselves deeply, cultivating in secret. The entire winter passed in this tranquility.
Fang Han also solidly spent three and a half months of a leisurely cultivation life. In the blink of an eye, winter departed and spring arrived, and he finally finished refining four million "Origin Infant Pills". Doing the math, the medicinal pills for the elders of the three great sword sects, as well as Fang Qingxue's medicinal pills, were complete. From now on, he no longer owed any debts, and could also free up his hands to feed the "Kunpeng Giant Egg" to transform into the Great Devouring Demon Formation.
As long as this "Kunpeng Giant Egg" hatched, the brewed "Great Devouring Demon Formation" absorbed by Fang Han would be even more terrifying than Meng Shaobai's Kunpeng Primal Spirit.
The Kunpeng Primal Spirit swallowing magic treasures relied on instinct after all. It was still in a primitive state.
Whereas the "Great Devouring Art" was a supreme magical power created by the supreme mighty figures among the ancient Heavenly Demons by comprehending the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, capable of devouring everything and plundering everything. It was profoundly mysterious countless times over compared to the primitive instinct of the Kunpeng.
Originally, what Fang Han wanted most was to refine "Zhao Xuanyi's" Golden Core and obtain the Heaven Sealing Great Art within it. That way, all his internal organs would be cultivated and condensed into one place, and it was unknown to what degree of strength his body would reach.
But now, a single Golden Core could burst him apart, and stripping out a single magical power alone was not cost-effective.
Because a Golden Core was a whole. Either scatter it all at once and absorb all the magical powers. If only one was absorbed, the melted Golden Core could not be condensed again, basically meaning it was ruined, and the magical power great formations inside would quickly dissipate.
"Zhao Xuanyi's" Golden Core contained twenty-seven types of magical powers inside. If he wasted the rest just for one magical power, that would be too extravagant.
Originally, if Baby Nebula cultivated to the fifth layer Heaven and Human Realm, Fang Han could scatter "Zhao Xuanyi's" Golden Core, give the other twenty-six magical powers to him, and keep the Heaven Sealing Great Art for himself.
Fang Han had a feeling that the Heaven Sealing Great Art was extremely important to him.
He even vaguely knew that once the Heaven Sealing Great Art was successfully cultivated, the Six-Eyed Heaven Sealing Stele could be melted into his own internal organs, once again elevating the strength of his body.
By that time, when the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash was executed, it would truly be as fast as lightning. Others having just started from a thousand miles away, he could arrive in an instant, killing people in the palm of his hand.
In front of him, Meng Shaobai's speed would also become a joke.
"Baby Nebula oh Baby Nebula, when will you be able to advance to the Heaven and Human Realm?" Looking at the giant baby-like Baby Nebula beside him, sleeping soundly, heartless and lungless to the extreme, Fang Han patted his head like bouncing a rubber ball.
Wa!
Feeling someone patting him, in his haziness, Baby Nebula opened his large mouth and, with a wa sound, bit right onto Fang Han's palm, sucking and chewing non-stop with a crunching sound, seemingly dreaming of eating something, relishing it immensely.
Fang Han shook his head and hastily pulled his hand out. Baby Nebula smacked his lips and continued his sound sleep.
Seeing this appearance, no one had any solution.
"Elder Sword Madman of the Sun and Moon Sword Sect, Dan Xiaoxi of the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect, and Feng Feitian of the Heaven Reaching Sword Sect, have come to pay a visit to Fellow Daoist Fang Han!" Right at this moment, from beyond the myriad mountains in the distance, a vigorous and forceful voice was transmitted, flying directly into Fang Han's great formation.
"Hahahaha, the three elders are indeed men of their word, please come in. The three million Origin Infant Pills I refined are already prepared. One million pills per person." Hearing the voice, Fang Han immediately soared into the sky, and indeed saw three sword lights hovering in the distance. Upon hearing his reply, they immediately flew into the bounds of the Yuhua Mountain, hovering above his "Reincarnation Peak", with powerful sword qi crisscrossing all around.
The three great elders were all mighty figures of the ninth layer of the Mystic Realm, the "Heaven and Earth Dharma Image". Wherever they were, they were characters whose stomping would shake the world. Coming to visit Fang Han simultaneously immediately alarmed all the true inheritance disciples of the Yuhua Sect, and of course, some elders in the Yuhua Heavenly Palace also flew out.
Fang Han's voice also shocked even more people. After all, a large portion of people did not know about the transaction between him and the three great elders, nor did they know he had killed the two great Golden Core experts of the Taiyi Sect, Song Weiyi and Zhao Xuanyi.
After these three great elders returned, they seemingly did not spread it outward.
The Taiyi Sect naturally would not actively spread it outward.
Right now, the news was still at a blockaded level.
"What, three million medicinal pills! And they are Origin Infant Pills?" At this time, Ling Xiao on the eastern mountain peak was cultivating. He was a Golden Core expert and still maintained his prestige now because he had not fought with Fang Han, unlike Wan Luo whose reputation was completely ruined. He cultivated silently every day, hoping to suddenly strike out one day and defeat Fang Han. This person had very deep schemes. Although he appeared to seek refuge with Hua Tiandu on the surface, he also had the ambition of becoming the Sect Master.
But now, the elders of the three great sword sects came, and with an open mouth, Fang Han was giving away three million Origin Infant Pills. It was simply striking the final heavy blow in his heart, stabbing the final time.
"Three million Origin Infant Pills, even if I sold all my precious collections, it would be difficult to scrape together, but for this boy, it is stated casually, clearly a drop in the bucket. Will there ever be a day for me to stand out in the future?"
…
"With the three great elders visiting today, my Yuhua Sect has failed to welcome you from afar, please pardon our offense." Within the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, the voices of many courtesy elders were transmitted out.
"You are too polite, too polite! We came today purely to privately visit Fellow Daoist Fang Han, we wouldn't dare to alarm the elders." The elders of the three great sword sects hastily spoke and were about to land on Fang Han's Reincarnation Peak.
"The three great elders have a noble status, coming from afar as guests. It is inconvenient on my small Reincarnation Peak. Let us go to the Welcoming Great Hall in the Yuhua Heavenly Palace." With a point of his finger, a propitious cloud supported the three great elders and flew towards the Yuhua Heavenly Palace.
The three great elders were stunned, feeling Fang Han's power dense and continuous, boundless and limitless, lifting them from beneath their feet. They actually felt a bit unable to resist it, immediately feeling that Fang Han was much stronger than in the Land of the Five Elements, possessing somewhat of an unfathomable flavor. They could not help but glance at each other, mutually seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Fang Han was of course much stronger than in the Land of the Five Elements.
Not to mention consuming the "Lightning Bone Relic", he had comprehended quite a few things from the battle with Meng Shaobai, and consumed a "Yin Yang Ten Thousand Life Pill", his physical body condensed to the extreme. If he wanted to kill a Golden Core expert this time, he could practically truly kill them instantly.
As for the elders of the three great sword sects, one-on-one, any of them would only have the fate of defeat.
Each of them was actually a bit inferior to Meng Shaobai. Meng Shaobai was parasitized by the Kunpeng, possessing all the life traits of a Kunpeng; a powerful existence that resembled human yet not human, demon yet not demon.
The Welcoming Great Hall of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace was extremely majestic, ten times larger than the Mountain and River Courtyard. Chairs were carved with dragons and engraved with phoenixes, and the large gold and jade folding screen behind had many paintings of deities and immortals, displaying that the status of cultivators was even nobler than emperors.
Fang Han walked in, and many welcoming elders stood up to welcome the elders of the three great sword sects.
These welcoming elders were all below the fifth layer of the Mystic Realm. The strongest had comprehended yin and yang, and the weakest had cultivated true qi… a full several hundred of them.
Towards these elders, Fang Han naturally was not polite either, walking straight towards the highest chair in the Welcoming Great Hall. This chair was extremely wide and ancient in simplicity, made of unknown materials. The folding screen behind was even larger, but not carved with dragons or phoenixes; it merely had four large characters written: "Yuhua Flying Ascension"!
This was clearly the seat where the Yuhua Sect Master, Feng Baiyu, sat.
Now Fang Han walking towards this seat seemed to look like he was going to sit on it.
All the welcoming elders were stunned. Even Dan Xiaoxi, Feng Feitian, and Elder Sword Madman were highly shocked, not expecting Fang Han to actually have such great courage.
Although there was no rule in the Yuhua Sect regulations stating "true inheritance disciples cannot sit in the Sect Master's seat", this rule was practically an ironclad unspoken rule. However, Fang Han feared neither heaven nor earth; he seemed to be building momentum for himself: "Should I sit on this Grand Sect Master position? Anyway, over three months ago, Feng Baiyu said that if I could cultivate to the Longevity Realm, defeat Hua Tiandu, and assist the Yuhua Sect in obtaining the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, he would step down and yield the Grand Sect Master position to me…"
Walking to the front of the Grand Sect Master position, Fang Han stopped, seeming to fall into deep thought, not knowing whether to sit on it or not.
Almost all the courtesy elders present felt Fang Han's imposing manner. They immediately remained silent. Fang Han's fierce might had been overwhelmingly monstrous recently: killing the Ghost Emperor, refining the mountain peak, defeating Meng Shaobai, and controlling the Mountain and River List competition. Even elders of the ninth and tenth layer of the Mystic Realm were unwilling to touch his bad luck, let alone these courtesy elders.
As for the elders of the three great sword sects, they seemed to sense something and nodded secretly.
After a long while, Fang Han ultimately still did not sit on it, but stood below the grand position.
"Three Fellow Daoists, three million Origin Infant Pills, please accept them!" Waving his hand, three crystal long dragons flew towards the three great elders. Each crystal long dragon was condensed from a million medicinal pills, rolling pill vital energy ascending straight into the sky, making anyone who smelled it feel relaxed and happy.
The elders of the three great sword sects were not polite either and immediately stored them away. This was something they dreamed of; no one would be polite.
"By the way, three Fellow Daoists, why haven't I heard certain news recently?" Seeing the three elders store the pills away, Fang Han casually asked: "Why hasn't the matter of me killing the two Golden Core experts of the Taiyi Sect, Zhao Xuanyi and Song Weiyi, circulated within the immortal path? The Taiyi Sect is shameless to the extreme. We agreed for a one-on-one magical battle with me, yet they disregarded face and sneak attacked."
"What? Fang Han killed two Golden Core experts of the Taiyi Sect! Zhao Xuanyi and Song Weiyi!"
"I know these two Golden Core experts; their prestige is overwhelmingly monstrous. They were actually killed by Fang Han, how is that possible! Even if Fang Han had this strength, he wouldn't have this courage. Even several great Demon Emperors wouldn't dare to do this."
"Impossible, impossible. By all reason, the Taiyi Sect should have come knocking long ago, immediately putting our Yuhua Sect in a difficult situation. Why has it been so many days, and the Taiyi Sect still hasn't come knocking?"
"The two great Golden Core little giants of the Taiyi Sect… actually killed just like that. If spoken out, not a single person would believe it, but it looks like the matter is true."
In an instant, the entire Welcoming Great Hall exploded like a boiling pot.
