The Linglong Blessed Land was overseas. Ordinary cultivators would have to fly for several years, and if they weren't experts in the "Heaven and Human Realm", they wouldn't be able to fly overseas at all. Their magical power would be exhausted in a short while, with no place to land. Falling into the sea meant only ending up in the bellies of fishes. There were many demonic beasts at sea, and they were not kind beings.
However, for an expert like Fang Han, who had cultivated half an Undying Body and possessed tyrannical magical power and a Golden Core with ninety divine abilities, crossing the sea was not a difficult task at all. Even lifting a mountain entirely across the ocean was not impossible.
In ancient times, some cultivators making bets with each other originated the allusion of "carrying a massive mountain and crossing the four seas".
For example, two experts would simultaneously use immense magical power to casually lift a large mountain and see who could casually fly across the vast sea first; whoever did would win. The current Fang Han had close to "one hundred million" magical power, and with the World Tree, if he bet with an expert who had just entered the Longevity Secret Realm, he really might not necessarily lose.
"Is this mirage the inside of the Linglong Blessed Land? It seems to be hidden within a patch of void. If one were to fly, they would never fly across. So close, yet worlds apart." Fang Han took one look and could tell that the mirage on the horizon was the area where the Linglong Blessed Land was located. However, using normal methods, it was impossible to fly across.
This involved the principles of spatial transformation.
It was an ability that could only be possessed at the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm.
Which is to say, logically speaking, as long as one wasn't an expert at the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm who had comprehended the profound mysteries of space, reaching the Linglong Blessed Land was utterly impossible.
But although logically it was said to be so, since the Linglong Blessed Land manifested a mirage, there clearly were flaws to be found. Otherwise, with so many people coming to offer birthday greetings to Immortal Venerable Linglong, what point would there be in offering birthday greetings if they were all kept outside? Eternal Giants who had reached the third level of Longevity and comprehended the profound secret formulas of space were qualified to be the headmasters of the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao.
Just as Fang Han was looking closely, suddenly several long rainbows appeared on the sea in the distance. Above each long rainbow, a young cultivator was revealed. Each one of them carried their heads high, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, clearly also experts coming to offer birthday greetings.
Those who came to offer birthday greetings to the Linglong Blessed Land were either Eternal Giants or young talents looking for opportunities to unite in wedlock with the cultivators of the Linglong Blessed Land.
These young cultivators also stopped not far from Fang Han. Clearly, they had also noticed that it was impossible to fly to the mirage of the Linglong Blessed Land. They had to find some flaws in the space to enter it. This was evidently a small test from the Linglong Blessed Land.
If they couldn't even pass this test or touch the mountain gate, they were too weak and there was no need to offer birthday greetings.
"We are disciples of the One Yuan Sect. Which sect is fellow Daoist from?" These young cultivators looked for a long time but didn't discern any clues, and couldn't help asking Fang Han.
Fang Han swept a glance over them and saw that although their cultivation levels were high, they hadn't reached the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the "Heaven and Human Realm". It would be exceedingly difficult for them to find some spatial rifts in the mirage.
"This Linglong Blessed Land is hidden within an independent void. It's usually not open, and no one can enter. Now, for Immortal Venerable Linglong's four-thousandth birthday celebration, an illusory image has been opened. There are many spatial rifts within. Traversing through the spatial rifts will allow one to enter the mountain gate. This is a test. If you can find those rifts, it will also enhance your cultivation."
Fang Han did not show impatience either, but guided these disciples, lending a hand to the younger generation.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash who can't even enter the mountain gate. It seems that the orthodox sects of good repute are nothing special." In the air, a large cluster of dark green flame flew over. Within the flame, a young master appeared. Wearing a golden-green long robe, he was followed by a large group of attendants behind him. It was incredibly an expert from the demonic path.
"Young Master Ling?"
With a single glance, Fang Han saw that this young master in the dark green long robe was actually the son of the "Old Monster Emerald Blood," a Supreme Elder of the Blood Shadow Demonic Sect. It was because he had robbed him of the Qi of "War and Slaughter" from the seven gourds to cultivate the "Second Sea of Consciousness." Then the other party hired the Moon Piercing Thief, Star Extinguishing Thief, and Immortal Slaying Thief to kill him. This enabled him to strike it rich step by step.
First, he obtained Golden Cores, and later he used a Golden Core to bomb the Ghost Emperor to death.
It could be said that his rise to prosperity was entirely because of "Young Master Ling".
Now that even Young Master Ling had come to offer birthday greetings, Fang Han suddenly felt a sense of amusement.
It was true, it was on this young master that he truly began to strike it rich all the way.
However, behind this Young Master Ling was an Eternal Giant, the "Old Monster Emerald Blood." Fang Han currently had many enemies and couldn't be bothered to make more. An Eternal Giant, especially an expert of that older generation, was someone he still couldn't afford to provoke.
"Young Master Ling? With your behavior, you simply disgrace our demonic sects. We demonic sects act as we please without so many rules and restrictions binding us. What is a demon? Pointing directly to one's fundamental nature is demonic. And not being overbearing and domineering like you." A voice resounded. Following that, rain of flowers filled the sky, and white bone lotuses appeared everywhere. At the center of the bone lotuses, a cold and arrogant youth emerged.
It was actually the "Innate White Bone Divine Ability".
Demon Commander Ying Tianqing from the Innate Demonic Sect. Evidently, he too was here to offer birthday greetings to Immortal Venerable Linglong.
Fang Han was quite familiar with the Demon Commander. This person was brimming with genius, having cultivated a Demonic Gate Golden Core a long time ago, with profound magical power. Even before Fang Han had cultivated divine abilities, his prestige was prominent, and he was an admirer of Fang Qingxue.
But seeing him today, Fang Han immediately saw that the Demon Commander's magical power had advanced to an unfathomable stage. He had actually cultivated to the ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Earth Aspect realm.
Clearly, the Demon Commander had passed the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, accumulated enough essence energy, and cultivated the Heaven and Earth Aspect, foundational Primordial Spirit. The ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm. The Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire at the eighth level of the Divine Ability Realm was difficult to pass, but once passed, with the Demon Commander's status, he wouldn't lack essence energy. Therefore, he very quickly refined his Demonic Gate Primordial Spirit.
Of course, if it were Fang Han, even if he passed the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, he didn't know how much essence energy would be required to condense the "Heaven and Earth Aspect".
The essence energy required for a Golden Core with ninety divine abilities to transform into a Dharma aspect would probably shock even Eternal Giants.
Naturally, even if the Demon Commander now had cultivated to the ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm with unfathomable magical power, Fang Han didn't care in the slightest. He merely signed inwardly that back then he could only look up to the Demon Commander, but now he could completely kill him. The gap between them was like one in the sky and one on the ground.
"Haha, Fang Han. This Demon Commander is showing off quite a bit, but he is no match for you. With your current means, you can kill him ten times over in an instant, maybe more, thirty times? Even if he self-detonates his primordial spirit, his Heaven and Earth Aspect won't be able to do anything to you." Yan laughed loudly. "Do you want to go up and teach him a lesson?"
"What's the point of teaching him a lesson? He and I have no conflict of interest." Fang Han shook his head. He was definitely not the kind of person who would offend unnecessary enemies just to show off his strength.
Behind the Demon Commander was the Innate Great Emperor Ying Xiantian. His demonic techniques were sublimely perfected, cultivating both immortal and demonic arts. Among the seven branches of the demonic path, aside from the deceased Emperor Yellow Spring, he indistinctly ranked number one in the demonic path. The rest of the "Wild Desolate Great Emperor", "Red Dust Great Emperor", "Blood Shadow Great Emperor"… were all inferior to this person.
Fang Han naturally didn't want to provoke such a figure.
"The people coming to offer birthday greetings to Immortal Venerable Linglong this time are all outstanding figures in temperament. Having you, Young Master Ling, here simply disgraces our demonic sects and makes the immortal path disciples abhor our demonic sects even more. Scram immediately."
While Fang Han and Yan were conversing, the Demon Commander spoke to that Young Master Ling.
"Demon Commander! Don't think you can order me around just because your demonic skills are profound! Your old man isn't the number one person in the demonic path either!" How could Young Master Ling stomach the Demon Commander's reprimand? He made a grabbing motion, and a Jade Blood Sword manifested in the air. Amidst the powerful sword energy, a bloody demon actually condensed. Streaks of sword energy crisscrossed the void. It was none other than the Jade Blood Soul Extinguishing Sword from last time. A Supreme-grade Spirit artifact, but this sword had already transformed into a Dao artifact! An existence on the same level as the King of the Blood Night. Clearly, it had undergone painstaking refining by an expert of the Longevity Secret Realm.
"A Dao artifact? Your old man actually invested so much capital to turn the Jade Blood Soul Extinguishing Sword into a Dao artifact? He must have lost at least a thousand years of cultivation." The Demon Commander's expression shifted. "But to bestow a Dao artifact upon you when you've just barely cultivated to the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Human Realm. That's simply too extravagant. When I cultivated to my Golden Core, I didn't even have a Dao artifact. However, do you think one Dao artifact can contend against me?"
"Haha, this Jade Blood Soul Extinguishing Sword was not refined by my old man, but rather the sovereign of our sect, the Blood Shadow Great Emperor, who has already refined the Blood Pool into a Supreme-grade Dao artifact. Our Blood Shadow Demonic Sect wiped out all living beings, a billion humans, on a star billions of miles away from the Xuanhuang Great World. This allowed the Blood Pool to transform. Then we placed the Jade Blood Soul Extinguishing Sword into the Blood Pool for tempering. Our sect's Blood Shadow Great Emperor accelerated time, equating one year to one hundred years. In sixty years of time, the refining of this sword was successfully completed, giving birth to a powerful artifact spirit, the Great Blood Shadow Demon. Do you think your cultivation level can withstand the might of this swing?"
When Young Master Ling was robbed of his magical treasure by Fang Han, he was still at the fourth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Yin-Yang realm. Now he had cultivated to the Heaven and Human Realm, stepping into the ranks of True Persons. This might also be the reason why he was granted the Dao artifact.
Regardless, experts of the Heaven and Human Realm were a core backbone force because they could refine Spirit artifacts.
The rule of the Yuhua Sect was that anyone who cultivated to the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Human Realm, could make a request to the Headmaster, or go into closed-door cultivation in the Minor Immortal Realm.
While speaking, Young Master Ling circulated his sword energy and slashed out. Immediately in the sky, all the clouds turned the color of blood. Streaks of blood shadows flew everywhere. Among them, a powerful blood demon, surrounded by thousands of smaller blood demons, viciously lunged at the Demon Commander.
Streaks of blood shadows even penetrated into the seabed, and many living beings were completely devoured by the blood demons.
Once this Jade Blood Soul Extinguishing Sword was executed, the radius of hundreds of miles would be shrouded by blood demons. Any living creature with flesh and blood would be sucked dry, thereby boosting its power.
This was the unique power of the "Blood Shadow Demonic Sect", the "Ancient Demon Blood Transforming Divine Path".
"Bang bang bang…"!
Several disciples of the One Yuan Sect were all shrouded by many blood demons. All their magical treasures were useless. Looks of horror appeared on their faces. And toward the place where Fang Han stood, there were even more blood demons whistling over.
