There were seven gourds, with nine-headed snakes coiled around them. They were not real snakes but statues, mysterious and exuding an aura of the ancient primordial chaos. The medicinal power inside surged like a tide, making one feel as if what was contained inside were not pills, but mountains of medicine.
"These are statues of the Nine-Headed Nether Snake. Legend has it that this snake is a ferocious divine beast that guards spiritual medicines for ancient immortals. With the Nine-Headed Nether Snake carved on them, these seven gourds definitely contain top-grade spiritual pills. The spiritual pills in these seven gourds must be on the same level as the Nirvana Pill. Open them quickly and see what kind of medicinal pills they are. They might even be immortal pills. It would be great if we could get a Resurrection Pill."
Recognizing the nine-headed snakes carved on the seven gourds as the "Nine-Headed Nether Snake", Yan immediately knew that the medicinal pills in these seven great gourds were all fine goods. He immediately couldn't wait to see them.
"However, you must be careful. This Nine-Headed Nether Snake can spew out the Great Fossil Poisonous Gas. As long as a person is tainted by it, they will instantly turn into stone, a statue. It is incomparably formidable."
Fang Han was also privately surprised, thinking to himself, "What kind of medicinal pill can emit such powerful medicinal qi? I really want to see just to what extent that Great Fossil Poisonous Gas is formidable." Without hesitation, he waved his hand fiercely, sending out a burst of magical power, and the seven gourds were opened one after another.
When the seven gourds encountered the corrosion of Fang Han's magical power, the Nine-Headed Nether Snakes carved on them actually came alive. Their nine heads spewed out streams of poisonous gas. This poisonous gas was a hazy gray. Fang Han intentionally let a little bit of it taint his body, and immediately his body began to petrify. It became stiff, turning into an existence like stone.
"The Great Fossil Poisonous Gas is indeed formidable! I have cultivated half an Undying Body, yet I was still petrified. Formidable, formidable! As such, even a Golden Core expert, if sprayed with a mouthful and not using a magical treasure to resist it, would probably find it hard to escape unscathed once tainted by the fossil poisonous gas." Giving a secret exclaim of "formidable", Fang Han's body shook, and the petrified part suddenly exploded, turning into clouds of thick blood mist. Then it reorganized, evolved, and condensed back into his body, completely unharmed.
It only consumed some essence energy.
Having tested the power of the Nine-Headed Nether Snake, Fang Han pointed out with his finger, wrapping them in a five-colored glowing light, and then projected his divine intent into the seven great gourds.
Immediately, he saw seven medicinal pills.
In each gourd, there was only one medicinal pill. The medicinal pills were all the size of a fist, with light flames radiating around them. These light flames were condensed from medicinal qi, and they formed a flickering portal that faintly appeared and disappeared.
"The medicinal qi has actually condensed into a true form!"
Fang Han was greatly startled. Having recently read the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual", he had gained a deeper understanding of some knowledge regarding artifact refining and pill concocting. Although he was far inferior to some grandmasters of artifact refining and pill concocting, his basic understanding of medicinal pills was passable. For the medicinal qi emitted by a medicinal pill to actually be able to condense into a true form, this meant it was almost on the verge of becoming an immortal pill!
According to legends, the medicinal qi of an immortal pill could condense into a true form, transforming into an existence similar to the Heaven and Earth Aspect of the ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm. Therefore, powerful immortal pills were extremely formidable, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to subdue them even if they obtained them. But now, the medicinal pills in the seven gourds had almost condensed into a true form. Just a tiny bit more, and they could have transformed into immortal pills.
Although they were not immortal pills, they were infinitely close to immortal pills.
Especially since the medicinal pills in the seven gourds were not the exact same pill. Instead, they each carried a color: black, white, red, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Seven colors. However, their medicinal qi had all condensed into a portal. It was clearly a set of medicinal pills.
"Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill!" Yan's divine intent also penetrated through the gourds, and upon seeing these seven medicinal pills, he couldn't help but shudder all over. It was obvious that this medicine was an important drug.
"Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill? What kind of medicinal pill is this? I have finished reading the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual, but I don't seem to have seen this kind of medicinal pill." The Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual contained many methods for concocting medicinal pills.
"The Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual mostly pertains to the medicinal pills of the Dragon race." Yan said, "The Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill is a set of medicinal pills. It is rumored that if taken at the peak of the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Changing Fate Against the Heavens realm, they can thoroughly stimulate one's Heaven Gate, Qi Gate, Blood Gate, Essence Gate, Bone Gate, Orifice Gate, and Life Gate. Then, in one fell swoop, one can shatter the void, comprehend the Gate of the Immortal Realm, and reach the Longevity Secret Realm. If taking a Nirvana Pill gives a one percent chance of cultivating into the Longevity Secret Realm, then the chance of cultivating it with this Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill is half!"
"After cultivating to the peak of the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Changing Fate Against the Heavens, taking this Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill gives a half chance to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm? Then this chance is way too huge! Why would these seven God Kings completely separate and carry one of these medicinal pills each?" Fang Han marveled. He couldn't help but marvel; a half chance to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm and become an Eternal Giant, that probability was simply too huge.
"Perhaps it's for balance. But moving forward, our days will probably not be easy. Behind the seven God Kings, there is also a Divine Emperor Hatred Heaven. Against an expert at the Divine Emperor level, we are not a match. They are more than capable of crushing us into fine powder."
"There is no need to fear that either. We are going to the Linglong Blessed Land. What does a Divine Emperor count for? If Immortal Venerable Linglong pulls out a hair and projects it from the cosmic space billions of trillions of miles away, she can route Yan Shuiyi and Fan Qingying. A Divine Emperor is no match for her either. I will curry favor with her extensively, hoping to quickly reach the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, and then take the Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pill."
Fang Han collected the seven gourds and stowed them away. At the same time, he also collected the magical treasures dancing all over the sky and took an inventory.
The harvest this time was truly immense. It took a full half day of counting before he finished. Low-grade Spirit artifacts: seven thousand pieces. Mid-grade Spirit artifacts: three thousand pieces. High-grade Spirit artifacts: one thousand pieces. Supreme-grade Spirit artifacts: sixty-four pieces.
In the storage spaces of the God Kings, there were no Profound artifacts, only Spirit artifacts. However, there were no Dao artifacts either.
Even a Divine Emperor couldn't possibly give away Dao artifacts as gifts.
As for Dao books, they only recorded cultivation methods for some "Great Divine Abilities", nothing particularly extraordinary. Evidently, when these members of the God clan journeyed through outer space, they wiped out some rogue cultivator sects, seized their Dao books, and randomly gave them out to win people's hearts.
As for medicinal pills, apart from the billions of Black God Pills acting as food for the Heavenly Devils, there were only the "Seven Lives Mystic Gate Pills".
"The harvest this time is too great. It's fully worth tens of billions of medicinal pills. Now we can really show off when we go to the Linglong Blessed Land. Who could be wealthier than us? Hahahaha!" Yan let out a long laugh, extremely complacent.
"Finally feeling somewhat less tense. The God clan is really a group of good people." Fang Han also smiled complacently. With wealth on his person, he wouldn't be so constrained going to the Linglong Blessed Land. If he didn't have any magical treasures or medicinal pills on him and was completely broke, he really wouldn't feel comfortable going to such a major sect like the Linglong Blessed Land.
"Let's go! We will travel at full speed!"
Having taken inventory of the harvest from the seven God Kings, Fang Han felt refreshed in his heart. Letting out a long whistle, he flew out of the Yellow Spring Diagram, made a grabbing motion, shrunk the diagram, and merged it into the skin of his body. At the same time, he skimmed forward at full speed.
With this flight, his speed reached an unimaginable level! Faster than before! And much faster at that.
After cultivating a Golden Core with ninety divine abilities, he could reach a thousand times the speed of sound when flying with all his might! And now, he could reach a thousand times the speed of sound just by skimming leisurely. If he exhausted all his strength, it even doubled! Reaching two thousand times! This was the power of him having cultivated half an Undying Body!
The life essence and True God Seeds of the seven God Kings continuously expanded his sea of consciousness and caused his body to transform. As he skimmed along, all the pores on his entire body opened, absorbing the essence energy of heaven and earth. Above the sea surface, a massive amount of Kui Water essence entered his body.
Swish swish, swish swish!
A bizarre black line, seemingly like the Great Cutting Technique, had just skimmed over this sea island and, in the next instant, appeared at another sea island a thousand miles away.
At the same time, despite Fang Han skimming at such high speed, he didn't cause the slightest ripple. The magical power fluctuations and airflow fluctuations were all swallowed by the Great Devouring Technique.
Now, his whole person seemed to have become the Great Cutting Technique. With a flash of the black line, an island a thousand miles away would split into two halves. Using this kind of speed to kill, even Eternal Giants of the Longevity Secret Realm would have a hard time.
If he truly cultivated the Undying Body, this kind of speed could cut open space!
In the Longevity Secret Realm, strong individuals who cultivated to the Undying Body would begin to comprehend spatial laws at the next level.
Driven by his majestic magical power, the Golden Core with ninety divine abilities rotated, with the body of half an Undying Body serving as the carrier. Fang Han's current strength squarely ranked him as the number one person beneath the Longevity Secret Realm.
If Hua Tiandu had not stepped into the Longevity Secret Realm and was still at his original level, Fang Han felt that if he fought him, Hua Tiandu would undoubtedly lose! However, to kill the other party would still be exceedingly difficult. At the very least, Fang Han would need to cultivate to the tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm, putting both sides in the same realm first.
Killing someone is ten times harder than defeating someone.
"Even if I encounter an Eternal Giant of the Longevity Secret Realm now, I have the power to protect myself. Furthermore, I feel that my Golden Core has already been cultivated to its peak, and the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire is about to arrive."
While skimming, Fang Han felt a blazing heat brewing in the deepest core of his Golden Core. It felt like dry weather and parched objects; the moment a breeze picked up, a spark could start a prairie fire.
Relying on the eighteen years of experience he learned from the mysterious figure in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, he knew that the "Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire" of the eighth level of the Divine Ability Realm was about to arrive. This was the most terrifying hurdle among cultivators.
The Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire originated from within the Golden Core. Once triggered, flames would burn throughout the body, wind would enter the nine orifices, the primordial spirit would wither, and qi and blood would dry up. But once passed, the Golden Core would be tempered and transform into a Primordial Embryo. Once enough essence energy was accumulated, it could condense into the Heaven and Earth Aspect, the foundational Primordial Spirit.
From the eighth level of the Divine Ability Realm to the ninth level, there were no hurdles. The only thing needed was a massive amount of essence energy! An ocean-like amount of essence energy! Therefore, the moment Meng Shaobai entered the eighth level of the Divine Ability Realm, his Golden Core underwent tempering from the great tribulation, fused with the giant Kunpeng egg, and cultivated the Kunpeng Primordial Spirit.
"The Linglong Blessed Land is here!"
Amidst his rapid skimming, Fang Han suddenly felt that countless immortal mountains appeared ahead, seeming like a mirage.
