If one could truly use the "Great Purgation Zen Light" to convert a Supreme Giant to be a hard laborer, dedicating himself wholeheartedly, then it would indeed be worthwhile. The benefits were massive, and the vow power generated from praying every day would be much greater than that of millions of heavenly demons and numerous demon kings. How much vow power would a master of the Longevity Realm generate by sincerely submitting?
However, how could a master of the Longevity Realm sincerely submit?
Fang Han knew Daoist Wood would definitely harbor resentment, and this was only a temporary measure. But if the other party opened his mind and accepted the conversion of the Great Purgation Zen Light, then there would be no problem. Under the illumination of the Buddhist Light, all resentment would melt away.
The Great Purgation Zen Light, being one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, possessed immensely powerful magic.
Even if someone had an irreconcilable enmity with you, killing your entire family and taking away your wife and daughter, once illuminated, their hatred would collapse, and they would obediently be converted to serve you piously.
Of course, the prerequisite for conversion was that one's own realm had to be much higher than the other party's.
Otherwise, it would have no effect at all.
Like when Fang Han used the Great Purgation Zen Light to convert others in the past, at most he could only convert a fierce tiger, making it stop eating meat. But now, after obtaining Immortal Venerable Linglong's inheritance and successfully cultivating this magic technique, he could convert masters of the Magic Realm.
Unless they were cultivators at the fifth level of the Magic Realm, the Heaven-Man Realm or higher, they would have some slight possibility of resisting.
As for converting Golden Core masters, he still could not do it. Let alone a Supreme Giant of the Longevity Realm. Such a person would not be moved at all.
However, if a master of the Longevity Realm willingly accepted to be converted, that was another matter altogether. When both parties were willing and cooperated mutually, it would not be so mentally exhausting.
"Great Purgation Zen Light, to convert me!" Daoist Wood's voice trembled, and then turned fierce again: "Fang Han, you are so ruthless!"
"You indeed harbor evil intentions. My guess was correct. As a Supreme Giant, how could you sincerely do hard labor for me?" Fang Han's icy voice seemed ready to freeze the air into ice shards, "It seems you are stubbornly irreclaimable. I have no choice but to use the World Tree to completely suck you into a dried corpse, and then replenish myself."
Fang Han increased the absorbing power of the World Tree, acting like cracking bones to drain the marrow, sucking Daoist Wood until he howled to the heavens once more.
Even though Daoist Wood's qi was abundant, if this continued, within a year's time, he would be genuinely sucked dry, with his form and spirit utterly destroyed.
"I am willing to submit, willing to submit! I am willing to accept the Great Purgation Zen Light into my mind!" Daoist Wood truly could not endure it anymore and roared.
"Very well, Wheel-Turning Holy King, command the heavenly demons and the numerous demon kings to chant the Six-Syllable True Word and the Great Purgation Scripture, and join me to completely convert Daoist Wood!"
Fang Han laughed heartily and sat down cross-legged. A beam of Zen light shot out from his Golden Core, first illuminating the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Immediately, the Five Elements Earth spiritual talisman burst into brilliance once more, drawing streams of Buddhist light blessing power from the endless void. This painted the entire Eight Divisions Pagoda in an even more radiant myriad of forms.
The Wheel-Turning Holy King, Sun Moon Essence Wheels, and even the Black Nether King, Star Cloud Baby, the Pure Fox Little Demoness, the millions of heavenly demons, and numerous demon kings all together chanted the Six-Syllable True Word and the scriptures in the Great Purgation Zen Light. In an instant, it converged into a massive soundwave, and endless Buddhist light shone down, wrapping Daoist Wood's Primal Spirit within it.
An expression of pain instantly showed on Daoist Wood's face. Those Buddhist lights and scriptures continuously failed to seep into his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol.
This Great Purgation Zen Light possessed not a hint of offensive power. It was purely for conversion.
If Daoist Wood was unwilling, let alone a million heavenly demons, even if hundreds of millions of heavenly demons chanted scriptures for a thousand years, they would not be able to move him in the slightest.
"Daoist Wood, you still haven't put down your obsessions and welcomed the Great Purgation Zen Light into your mind. Do you want to die? If you resist my conversion any further, I will kill you! Whether you live or die depends on your next thought," Fang Han shouted.
As expected, upon this shout, Daoist Wood's body shook, and his mind began to open up, allowing the Buddhist light of millions of heavenly demons and Fang Han to enter within his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol.
Gradually, his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was tainted with a layer of gold, spreading from the outside inward. And Daoist Wood's face transformed from resentment to peaceful serenity. It seemed all his deep resentment towards Fang Han began to dissolve, and instead, he felt gratefulness towards Fang Han.
A person converted by the Great Purgation Zen Light, even an enemy, would become dead set on you. This was the power of conversion.
However, Fang Han knew he hadn't completely converted Daoist Wood's core, the depths of his mind. It would still take a long period of conversion, at least seven days and seven nights.
Just like this, deep underground at a depth of seventy to eighty thousand feet, Fang Han and the millions of heavenly demons chanted scriptures continuously for seven days and seven nights. Eventually, they transformed Daoist Wood's body entirely into a color of pure gold, and an expression of great enlightenment appeared on Daoist Wood's face. Suddenly, he stood up and paid utterly sincere homage to Fang Han, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Fang Han for relieving me of my sinful ties. At this moment, my mood is unprecedentedly calm. All the various things from before were sinful debts. Now, I only wish to bitterly cultivate under Daoist Fang Han's banner, to compensate for my wrongdoings."
"Mm, not bad, not bad."
Seeing this scene, Fang Han was also deeply shocked by the power of the Great Purgation Zen Light. A Supreme Giant had actually been completely subdued by him. And he believed himself to have achieved great liberation.
"The Buddhist sect is this formidable? It seems from now on, I have to be careful. If encountering people from the Buddhist sect and being converted like this, it equates to losing one's sense of self." Towards the Buddhist sect, a deep wariness arose in Fang Han's heart. Turning a person into this was fiercer than killing him.
"Alright, Daoist Wood, your past sins were heavy, but now you take refuge in me. Put forth your effort inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda well. Provide immortal realm qi every day, and also temper magic treasures. I will find a large amount of materials and let you read the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual, and then forge the body of the Eight Divisions Pagoda itself, as well as the eight magic treasures, into Dao artifacts."
Fang Han immediately assigned tasks to the "hard laborer", Daoist Wood.
"Yes, this poor Daoist's sins from before were too heavy. Anything less than this is insufficient to compensate for my sins." Daoist Wood nodded. With a movement of his body, he suddenly flew into the Eight Divisions Pagoda, sat beneath the Wheel-Turning Holy King, and used his inherent magic to merge with the entire pagoda body. A void on top of his head was opened, spewing out a massive amount of immortal realm qi. This immortal realm qi was purer than that of the World Tree.
Daoist Wood instantly became a completely selfless, exceptionally good person dedicated solely to others, a great contributor, constantly drawing immortal realm qi. He only kept a tiny bit to protect his life, while offering out all the rest.
At the same time, he prayed piously, and streams of vow power surged out from his body. They actually converged into golden rainbows, tumbling within the Eight Divisions Pagoda.
Instantly, the Eight Divisions Pagoda tightened, actually condensing once more.
A Supreme Giant condensing magic treasures was much faster than Fang Han cultivating it himself. Moreover, this Supreme Giant was dedicating himself wholeheartedly, without holding back in the slightest!
A Supreme Giant could forge low-grade Dao artifacts.
At this moment, as Fang Han's divine sense shifted, he also received massive replenishments of immortal realm qi from the pagoda body of the Eight Divisions Pagoda, entering his mind. His magic power was condensed and recovered. The previous feeling of lacking magic power vanished without a trace!
"Haha, possessing the World Tree and a Supreme Giant providing immortal realm qi for me is truly comfortable. Now when I face enemies, I will no longer have the flaw of lacking magic power. Using attacks carrying the power of a hundred million galloping fierce horses, I can fully unleash a few hundred, even a thousand hits!" Fang Han felt the boundless immortal realm qi rolling down, nourishing his five seas of consciousness, and his heart was indeed incomparably delighted.
If this continued, before long, he could also accumulate enough qi to evolve that bizarre thousands of arms and thousands of eyes Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol perfectly.
Acquiring a wholeheartedly dedicated Supreme Giant to do hard labor was far superior to refining him.
"Now, with Daoist Wood holding the fort inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda, painstakingly cultivating the Eight Divisions Pagoda day and night without rest, the power of this magic treasure has already surpassed my own."
Yan said with envy.
"The innate quality of the Eight Divisions Pagoda doesn't hold a candle to the Yellow Springs Diagram. Once I cultivate to the Longevity Realm, its power will be fully unleashed." Fang Han consoled Yan, then opened his large mouth and inhaled.
The Eight Divisions Pagoda immediately began to shrink and flew into Fang Han's mouth, being devoured straight into his stomach.
Now his physical body was a half Undying Body, capable of twisting and shifting at will, and could easily devour the Eight Divisions Pagoda. By devouring this magic treasure inside, being tainted by his own qi and blood daily, and then using the heavenly demon vow power to temper his own body, his physical body would become even more formidable. Perhaps as the years passed, the Eight Divisions Pagoda would grow increasingly powerful, and the lifespan of his own physical body would be restored.
"Good, let us cultivate deep underground here for another few months. Once the wind blows over, we will return to the Yuhua Sect. Otherwise, as soon as we go out, we will be hunted down by others again. I can also take advantage of this quiet time to solidify my cultivation well."
After swallowing the Eight Divisions Pagoda into his stomach, Fang Han did not go out, but continued to stay deep underground, sitting cross-legged, deliberating over Dao techniques, pondering over the Golden Core, and sorting through all his battles from these past days. He completely forgot the distracting thoughts in his memories, and his mind gradually became clear.
He cultivated just like this, entering a state of complete stabilization and clarity.
Right as he was cultivating deep underground, back within the Yuhua Sect, Hua Tiandu was also cultivating.
Deep within the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, in a mysterious space and time, the flow of time was absolutely different from the outside. A full month would pass inside, while only a single day would pass outside.
As one of the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao, the Yuhua Sect, and the Yuhua Heavenly Palace acting as its foundational presence, were just like that immemorial meteorite above the Nine Heavens Astral Wind at the Myriad Stars Sect—they were incomparably massive magic treasures. Countless masters inside participated in operating them, providing magic power, and some of the mysterious spaces and times within them could also overturn time, being the most suitable for cultivation.
"Tiandu, how are you feeling? Have you accumulated enough? If it is enough, then swallow the Endless Creation Pill. Enter the Longevity Realm directly, and cultivate the Undying Body."
Hua Tiandu sat within this mysterious space and time, sitting silently and cultivating.
Beside him, a Daoist was also sitting, who was impressively the Supreme Giant, Ruyi Zi.
In front of Hua Tiandu, within the high-grade Dao artifact, the Great Desolate Ancient Furnace, an elixir pill was suppressed. On top of this pill, a powerful Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was constantly revolving, resembling a dragon, a phoenix, a tiger, a tyrant turtle, a lion, and a mastiff.
This was the Endless Creation Pill, an immortal pill.
"Without cultivating to the Longevity Realm, one cannot consume an immortal pill. Otherwise, I would be sucked dry of qi by this immortal pill, and the immortal pill would burst out of my body, cultivating to longevity on its own."
Hua Tiandu said calmly.
