By stepping into the ninth realm of the physical body, the Spirit Communion realm in one stroke, Fang Han felt that he had truly taken another step up.
Not only his skills, but his mind as well, were unprecedentedly awake, unprecedentedly lucid. His whole body shed its mortal shell and exchanged its bones again, akin to a dragon or snake shedding its skin, taking on an entirely new look.
Heaven and earth were in his mind!
His soul expanded infinitely!
Fang Han felt that he possessed a mental will that no one could destroy. Within his heart and mind, an invincible seed had been added. That Gate of Divine Abilities within his mind seemed to quietly open a sliver of a gap.
The Spirit Communion realm intrinsically meant physical strength reaching a sort of limit, thereby triggering an explosion of the mind.
Now that Fang Han had attained the Spirit Communion realm in one fell swoop, his sensitivity sharply increased. For thousands of steps around his body, any rustle of the wind or movement of the grass, even the slight crawling of a centipede or spider, was reflected in his mind.
There was no movement whatsoever capable of concealing itself from Fang Han's eyes and ears.
This was the Spirit Communion realm.
Sensitive enough to communicate with divine spirits! Insightful into the slightest details.
This realm was another watershed in the cultivation of the physical body.
In physical cultivation, arriving at the fifth realm, Divine Power, was a watershed, and arriving at the ninth realm, Spirit Communion, was an even more crucial watershed, because this was an important stage of the physical body transitioning to the mental. Only by stepping into the Spirit Communion realm was there hope of stepping into the Divine Ability Realm.
Fang Han seemed to feel that as soon as he circulated his mind, the bones and internal organs throughout his body were vividly visible, clear and transparent.
The Spirit Communion realm allowed one to look internally!
Bones distinct, like crystal.
This was the characteristic of the Spirit Communion realm recorded in "All Worlds".
"Crane Fighting Snake!"
Fang Han suddenly thrusted a sword, hitting empty space, but a Yaksha happened to be leaping toward his sword. Its eye met the sword tip, and it was pierced through into the brain at once, falling to the ground dead.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Han lunged and stabbed continuously, fast as flying locusts, pointing east to strike west, pointing south to strike north. Those Yakshas were each like headless flies, crashing onto Fang Han's sword.
For a time, Fang Han's sword was like a crane dancing in the high sky, a divine dragon swinging its tail, emerging out of thin air, his shadows everywhere. One after another, the Yakshas had their eyes pierced through, directly collapsing and dying a violent death.
"Human…"
The last Yaksha roared and collapsed. With a "snap", Fang Han's magical sword actually broke into two pieces!
It turned out that it had pierced into this Yaksha's eye and got stuck on the skull inside. When pulled out, the speed was too fast, actually snapping the magical sword.
Fang Han's original strength was already vastly higher than ordinary people in the Divine Bravery realm, his power so great it could fully compare to ordinary experts in the Divine Transformation realm. The Nine Orifices Golden Pill shedding his mortal shell and exchanging his bones laid a vigorous foundation for him.
"You could actually kill twelve Yakshas, and in the fierce battle, stepped into the Spirit Communion realm…"
Just at this moment, Fang Qingxue suddenly descended slowly. It turned out she had just flown up, merging into the darkness, quietly observing everything below.
Towards Fang Han killing twelve Yakshas and stepping into the Spirit Communion realm, she was also slightly shocked in her heart. However, since entering the underground today, with Fang Han slaying demonic beasts all the way and asking her for martial arts guidance, she had already sensed that Fang Han was a top-tier candidate in potential, possessing an extraordinary comprehension ability towards cultivation that surpassed all the disciples of the Fang family.
He was a talent.
With hope of stepping into the Divine Ability Realm.
If he stepped into the Divine Ability Realm, became a true disciple, and could be utilized by me, then among the many true disciples, I would also have a helper.
This was the first thought in her mind.
However, it was no wonder she harbored such thoughts, otherwise Fang Han's consumption of the "Nine Orifices Golden Pill" would have been in vain. If a pill refined by the Demon Sect Emperor did not even have this bit of efficacy, the Yellow Springs Emperor might as well smash his head to death.
"Senior Sister, although I stepped into the Spirit Communion realm, this magical sword has broken. Without a weapon, if we encounter Yakshas again on this journey, the consequences will be worrying…"
Fang Han was somewhat afraid this Eldest Miss had seen through something, so he hurriedly diverted the topic again.
"This is no matter." Fang Qingxue grabbed with her hand, and the two disconnected pieces of the magical sword floated into mid-air. With a casual wave, a stream of purple lightning crackled and struck onto the broken sword. This broken sword immediately melted into a puddle of liquid metal, forming once again into a completely whole magical sword. Straight and sharp, the body of the sword even had lines of lightning textures flowing inside it.
"This broken sword of yours has been reforged by me. Instilled upon it is the divine ability of my Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade. As long as you slash the enemy, it will immediately erupt with purple lightning blade Qi, incinerating gold and melting iron. Even if you encounter a Flying Yaksha, you can injure it."
"Unfortunately not a Spirit Artifact…" Taking over this magical sword Fang Qingxue had reforged for him, Fang Han murmured in his heart.
The reason flying swords were called Spirit Artifacts was that they contained magical formations within. Their power was purely independent and did not need to consume one's own physical strength. In the most critical moments, conserving physical strength was of utmost importance.
While this sword refined by Fang Qingxue, though sharper and much tougher than the original magical sword, would after all not fly out on its own to slay enemies; he still had to swing and thrust it himself.
Naturally not knowing what Fang Han was murmuring inwardly, Fang Qingxue stepped forward to continue walking, her eyes looking ahead: "You still lead the way ahead, but the closer to the Demon God Altar, the more Yakshas there will be. Remember, the Spirit Communion realm is nothing special, even the physical body's tenth realm, Divine Transformation is nothing special. Only by stepping into the Divine Ability Realm, breaking the world of ordinary mortals, can one ascend to heaven in a single step. I still say this sentence: if you step into the Divine Ability Realm, I will let Qingwei marry you."
"The younger sister is nothing much, whether she marries me or not doesn't matter, now the older sister is more like it…" Fang Han murmured in his heart. Of course, he only murmured in his heart and could impossibly express it on the surface.
"Hmm, my guts are truly getting bigger and bigger, to actually harbor such thoughts." Subsequently, Fang Han was astonished endlessly by the thought that arose in his own heart.
One must know, four months ago, he was still a lowly servant.
"Hmph! How is this having big guts, you are someone who will sooner or later become a generation's Demon Emperor, is this all the ambition you have? However, this woman is formidable, her future achievements will not stop here, she has hope of stepping into the Longevity Realm to achieve Supreme of the Immortal Path. If you could have her marry you and become your favored concubine, it is also not a bad choice."
Suddenly, from deep within his mind, the voice of the flood dragon "Yan" arose.
"Silence! Right now I am only concerned with cultivation, elevating my strength. Properly stepping into the Divine Ability Realm early. Don't think about all the rest. As for whether I become a Demon Emperor or not, that is a matter far in the future. As long as I cultivate bitterly with a single mind, there will always be a day when the clouds break to reveal the open sky and the truth comes to light. Right now, cultivating following Fang Qingxue, though dangerous, might not necessarily not be an opportunity."
Fang Han's heart was calm without ripples, narrating to "Yan."
"Good, having this mindset, I am even more reassured. It is extremely dangerous ahead. I sense the aura of the Demon God, as well as very many experts. You must be extremely careful this time." Yan remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking again.
"The aura of the Demon God…"
Fang Han walked while talking with "Yan." Suddenly, countless bright lights flickered ahead. A massive altar stood tall on the earth tens of miles away. It emitted a blood-red light, illuminating everything.
What lay ahead was an underground plain.
On the plain, thousands of Yakshas were as neat as an army.
And Flying Yakshas were still dancing in the sky.
