"I presented the Golden Core of a Taiyi Sect disciple, and Mo Shuai presents an arm of the Taiyi Sect Elder Tang Jingshan. Is this deliberately setting up a rival stage against me? Could it be that resolving Xue Wuyang with four palm strikes unexpectedly failed to intimidate all the experts? Xue Wuyang ranked sixth on the Longevity Reserve List, cultivated to the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm, Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, with profound Dao techniques. Having dealt with him so easily, no one should be opposing me now. Was he instigated by his father, the Innate Great Emperor? Or does Mo Shuai have some formidable methods on him?"
When Mo Shuai presented Tang Jingshan's arm, Fang Han immediately felt that he seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to confront him head-on.
Fang Han could see Mo Shuai's strength; he had already cultivated to the ninth tier of the Divine Power Realm, Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, forging the Innate White Bone Origin Spirit. Although its power was boundless, he was far from being a match for him. Unless he had some hidden methods on him.
Mo Shuai definitely had Dao weapons on his person. However, only a medium-grade Dao weapon could withstand the attack of Fang Han's one hundred million galloping fiery horses power. But the Innate Demon Sect was a major sect of the Demonic Path, and Ying Xiantian was now faintly ranked as the number one expert in the Demonic Path. Since Ying Xiantian had calculations, he would certainly give Mo Shuai formidable Dao weapons; even a high-grade Dao weapon was possible!
A high-grade Dao weapon possessed boundless power and could indeed withstand the attack of Fang Han's one hundred million galloping fiery horses power.
In an instant, Fang Han calculated many things in his heart.
If he were at his peak, he wouldn't be afraid, but now the "Wind and Fire Great Calamity" was brewing and could erupt at any moment. Once it erupted, his entire body would burn with wind and fire, making him wish he were dead. Let alone fighting enemies, even surviving it would be a problem. The Wind and Fire Great Calamity was the first major obstacle of the Divine Power Realm. If one could push past it, condensing the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form or even reaching the tenth tier of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate would not be unusual.
The Wind and Fire Great Calamity was incredibly dangerous, but after surviving it, the harvests were also abundant. The flesh and blood, Golden Core, divine powers, mana, and sea of consciousness of the entire body would be tempered. The whole person, from soul to physical body, would be thoroughly reborn, with endless benefits.
Especially for a figure like Fang Han, who had cultivated a Great Golden Core with ninety divine powers, all being Life-Bound Divine Powers; the Wind and Fire Great Calamity produced would be inconceivable and extremely difficult to survive. But once survived, the achievement would be higher than anyone else's. His five seas of consciousness might even continue to expand; expanding by a full hundred percent was not impossible.
For instance, currently, using the power of one hundred million galloping fiery horses to strike, he could only unleash ten attacks. But after surviving the Wind and Fire Great Calamity, he could perhaps unleash twenty attacks! Even thirty was not completely out of the question, as his sea of consciousness would expand several times over!
In this way, just counting his base attacks, ordinary Eternal Giants of the Longevity Realm might not necessarily be able to withstand them.
"Although the Wind and Fire Great Calamity was suppressed by Immortal Venerable Linglong's Great Vow Technique, my mana is increasing at all times. The slightest use of force will completely trigger the great calamity. It is quite a difficult matter."
While Fang Han was thinking, he watched Mo Shuai step down after offering Tang Jingshan's arm. Following that, the young talented experts of both the Immortal and Demonic paths also presented their birthday gifts.
Among them, the most eye-catching were two individuals. One was Jiao Fei from the Heaven Communication Sword Sect, an expert ranked fifth on the Longevity Reserve List, even above Xue Wuyang. This person also smoothly presented a large number of items. Medicinal pills, flying swords, magic treasures, dharma robes, Dao books, and various natural treasures, valued at hundreds of millions of medicinal pills. Although it couldn't compare to Fang Han's gift, it was quite shocking.
"Wangui Immortal Island! Wan Lianshan presents a scroll of the ancient painting 'Picture of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl'. This ancient painting was painted by the ancient Human Emperor upon seeing the Nine Heavens Profound Girl from the Immortal Realm."
Another expert who made Fang Han wary also appeared. It was a disciple of the Wangui Immortal Island named Wan Lianshan.
This person wore a sea-blue Daoist robe, with large sleeves fluttering, exuding a majestic demeanor. As he walked casually, the sound of ocean waves surprisingly arose beneath his feet, as if this person were treading on a vast ocean at all times. This was the phenomenon of cultivating water-attribute divine powers to the extreme, having an effect similar to Yan Shuiyi's Azure Sea Divine Pearl.
This person ranked fourth on the Longevity Reserve List!
Second only to Hua Tiandu!
On the Longevity Reserve List, the first was Fan Qingying, the second Yan Shuiyi, the third Hua Tiandu, and the fourth was this Wan Lianshan of the Wangui Immortal Island. Fifth was Jiao Fei of the Heaven Communication Sword Sect, sixth Xue Wuyang, and seventh Xing Miexie.
Among these, Fang Han had basically fought with all of them.
The top ten strictly ranked on the Longevity Reserve List were all incredibly fierce, dominating a region and reigning supreme in the mortal realm; not a single one was easily dealt with. Even at his peak, Fang Han would not take them lightly. Let alone now, with the Wind and Fire Great Calamity brewing, and under the circumstances where the Yellow Springs Diagram and the Eight部 Pagoda could not be utilized.
The sudden arrival of the "Wind and Fire Great Calamity" disrupted many of Fang Han's plans. It also added some difficulties to his acquisition of the three supreme divine powers.
The gift presented by the first true passed-down disciple of the Wangui Immortal Island, the expert "Wan Lianshan" ranked fourth on the Longevity Reserve List, second only to Hua Tiandu, was actually the most precious one. It was even more precious than Fang Han's Golden Core and Mo Shuai's arm. It was actually a picture painted by the Human Emperor, one of the Immemorial Three Emperors.
According to legend, when the Immemorial God Clan invaded, the Three Emperors led all the Qi Refiners of the Xuanhuang Great World to resist. Just when they were unable to hold off the attack, the gate to the Immortal Realm opened wide, and an immortal maiden appeared, named the Nine Heavens Profound Girl. In rapid succession, she killed eighty-one God Emperors, dissolving the God Clan's offensive. Then, revered by the Human Emperor, she was painted into a picture using the Human Emperor Pen, possessing all kinds of inconceivable dharma powers upon it. Now, Wan Lianshan presenting this picture to Immortal Venerable Linglong was the highest form of flattery.
"Good, very good."
Sure enough, upon this painting being offered, Immortal Venerable Linglong seemed extremely satisfied, "It seems the Wangui Immortal Island has spent quite a lot of thought on my birthday gift this time. The value of this painting is no less than a Dao weapon. From it, one can comprehend the brush strokes of the Human Emperor Pen, which holds some value for my exploration of the ancient Three Emperors' Dao techniques. How about this, I see you cultivate the supreme divine power Profound Heaven Nine Transformations, but you are still far from cultivating it to perfection. I shall give you nine streams of Profound Heaven Astral Qi to assist you in bringing this divine power to great perfection."
As she spoke, Immortal Venerable Linglong flicked her fingers, and nine flashes of light flew out from her fingertips, abruptly falling onto the body of Wangui Immortal Island's first true passed-down disciple, Wan Lianshan.
Instantly, Wan Lianshan's physical body contorted. Those with sharp eyes could see streams of talismans flashing deep beneath his skin, merging into his flesh and blood. His physical body became exceptionally condensed, and every pore sprayed out extremely tyrannical astral qi. Standing there, everyone felt a strong sense of pressure. It felt as if this person "Wan Lianshan" would teleport over at any moment and blow them up with a single punch.
Fang Han even felt that in an instant, this "Wan Lianshan's" physical body could rival his own body before he had cultivated half an Undying Body.
"Profound Heaven Nine Transformations, this is the Wangui Immortal Island's sect-guarding ultimate technique, originating from an ancient supreme divine power. According to legend, once this divine power is successfully cultivated, the physical body can change in myriad ways, decomposing and recombining at will. Immortal Venerable Linglong actually elevated this divine power directly to its limit for him. Furthermore, it's completely refined, equivalent to what an expert at the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm, Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, would achieve after several cycles of bitter cultivation."
"Could it be that Immortal Venerable Linglong values this Wan Lianshan greatly?"
"That's not it. It's because the gift sent by the Wangui Immortal Island is too heavy; they actually offered the 'Picture of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl'. Rumor has it that this was obtained by chance by the master of the Wangui Immortal Island. From it, many divine powers were comprehended. Legend says that obtaining this painting allows one to find the legendary Human Emperor Pen, the number one sharp weapon between heaven and earth."
"The Human Emperor Pen? This magic treasure is incredible. It decides the life and death of all immortals and demons. With a stroke of its great brush, ghosts and gods weep, and blood rains from heaven and earth. However, it has been lost for many years. Experts of successive generations from ancient times to the present have been searching for this treasure, but not a single one has found it. Who knows whose hands it will fall into in the future."
"If one obtained the Human Emperor Pen, they could probably establish a sect and found a school. The current Ten Sects of the Immortal Path would then become eleven sects."
"Correct, even if a cultivator of the Divine Power Realm obtained the Human Emperor Pen, they could even kill an ordinary Eternal Giant."
"Then why did the Wangui Immortal Island give this painting away?"
"Perhaps they feel their own strength is incapable of obtaining the Human Emperor Pen, and wish to leverage Immortal Venerable Linglong's power. After all, Immortal Venerable Linglong is the number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World. Just like the headmaster of the Yuhua Sect, Feng Baiyu, after obtaining the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, he began targeting the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion."
"The Taiyuan Immortal Mansion? Whoever targets it dies! Even the Taiyi Sect doesn't dare to go retrieve things from it; the Yuhua Sect wouldn't be able to."
Wan Lianshan was the first to offer a gift and receive benefits from Immortal Venerable Linglong. The people present were all discussing fervently. After Fang Han defeated Xue Wuyang, almost everyone who came to offer birthday congratulations believed that Fang Han would definitely obtain the inheritance of the three major divine powers. But now, the others were each not easy to deal with, and it seemed a fierce struggle involving dragons and tigers was about to begin.
"Many thanks to Immortal Venerable Linglong for teaching this junior the profound supreme divine power Profound Heaven Nine Transformations. This junior's physical body has finally achieved great completion, and is only half a step away from the Longevity Realm." The first true passed-down disciple of the Wangui Immortal Island, "Wan Lianshan," after his physical body absorbed the talismans, astral qi, and formations of the Profound Heaven Nine Transformations, finally calmed down. His entire person seemed completely reborn. From the heavenly gate at the top of his head, a white rainbow faintly rushed out, deriving into the void, appearing to communicate with a mysterious world.
He was truly only half a step away from stepping into the Longevity Realm.
This "Wan Lianshan" was the expert ranked fourth, second only to Hua Tiandu. Having now obtained the Profound Heaven Nine Transformations divine power and achieving great completion of his physical body, his imposing aura burned even more intensely. After finishing offering his birthday congratulations, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Fang Han, and let out a hearty laugh: "Fang Han, among the disciples who came to pay respects this time, your mana is the highest, defeating Xue Wuyang with four palm strikes. However, regarding the reward of the three supreme divine powers given by Immortal Venerable Linglong this time, I still intend to fight for them. I will not let you obtain them."
"Is that so? Then let's see your methods and how many palm strikes of mine you can withstand." Fang Han detested the most others challenging him, especially displaying superiority by challenging him in front of so many people present. With a stir in his heart, he said with a fake smile: "The Taiyi Sect has issued a Heavenly Dao Hunt Order against me. I need to elevate my own strength, and the three major divine powers belong in my pocket. Whoever wants to contest with me, do not blame me for showing no mercy and ruining the friendship between the sects of the Immortal Path."
