"Hentian Compass, merge into my body, achieve the undying, everlasting through the ages."
Within the Everlasting Divine Furnace, there was boundless and endless everlasting life energy. This everlasting life energy changed according to the changes in a person's heart. If you thought it was yellow in your heart, it would truly change into yellow. Whatever color you thought it was, that was the color it became. Everything moved according to the mind, free and everlasting.
The Everlasting Divine Furnace was an immortal artifact.
An immortal artifact was a supreme existence even higher than a Dao Weapon. Mortals fundamentally could not refine an immortal artifact. Even existences like Immortal Venerable Linglong and Yellow Springs Emperor could not refine an immortal artifact.
Immortal artifacts could only be refined by imperishable immortals of the Immortal Realm who had grasped infinite rules of the Heavenly Dao and comprehended the true essence of the Great Luo. Even the Gate of Xuanpin within the Taiyuan Immortal Abode was not refined by Immortal Venerable Taiyuan himself, but was an ancient inheritance obtained.
Moreover, even for an immortal, to refine an immortal artifact, they must fuse their own immortal path laws into it, meaning they themselves would lose a portion of their immortal path laws. This was an act of self-depletion, so an ordinary immortal would not refine an immortal artifact unless they reached a point of absolute necessity.
For instance, if their orthodoxy in the lower realm was about to be destroyed, but restricted by the rules of the immortal path, they could not descend to the lower realm. They would thus condense their immortal path laws into an immortal artifact and send it down.
In summary, an immortal artifact was an existence that suppressed the fate of a grand sect. It was equivalent to a partial avatar of an immortal from the Immortal Realm, possessing boundless power, capable of distorting world rules, and having various inconceivable wondrous uses.
At this time, Yan Shuitian's body was like a vortex, absorbing a massive amount of everlasting life energy and merging it into her body, causing a qualitative change to occur in her physical flesh, magic power, and every part of her entire body.
This everlasting life energy could not increase magic power, but it could cause the structure of the body to change, making it more suited to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, drawing closer to nature, and drawing closer to the everlasting.
After Yan Shuitian absorbed up to a certain stage within it, she suddenly began to fuse the main body and the artifact spirit of the Hentian Compass inside her body.
The Hentian Compass was the fate magic weapon painstakingly refined by the God Emperor Hentian, containing the supreme secrets of the God Race within it. If Yan Shuitian fused this Hentian Compass and the artifact spirit's main body, she could even gain insight into some of the secrets of the God Race. Furthermore, after her body merged with the True God Seed, she already possessed some characteristics of the God Race, truly making her a "favored child of heaven."
The God Race were the favored children of heaven. Their lifespan was longer than any race, and their power was stronger than any race. They were the seeds born within the heaven and earth universe destined to rule the myriad worlds, standing high above and looking down upon all living beings.
The powerful artifact spirit was shattered by Yan Shuitian's power, and the main body of the Hentian Compass was also deciphered by her using the power of the Everlasting Divine Furnace, transforming into arrays that represented the secrets of the God Race. She even gained insight into many laws of the Great Dao.
"Great Shifting Technique! Great Cursing Technique! Great Sealing Technique! Good heavens, among the Three Thousand Great Daos, three methods are contained within. No wonder the Hentian Compass is so powerful that even the Human Emperor Pen could not tear it apart. It is also no wonder the Hentian Compass possesses the function of deducing the past, as well as the function of shifting. So that is how it is. The three Great Daos that God Emperor Hentian knew are all in it. Not bad, not bad. By refining this Hentian Compass, I will also know these three supreme Great Daos, and my status within the Taiyi Sect will elevate manifold once again. I can rank first among the Deputy Headmasters. Fang Han, wait until I become the true Headmaster Supreme of the Taiyi Sect, then I can stay together with you. Fan Qingying. How about it, have you thought it through, are you willing to submit or not? Be willing to submit to me. I will let you absorb everlasting life energy, and give you a Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pill, allowing you to advance within this Everlasting Divine Furnace and become an Eternal Giant. Otherwise, for the peace of the Xuanhuang Great World, for Fang Han, and for myself, I will refine you."
Yan Shuitian spoke to Fan Qingying inside the Sea-God Pearl while absorbing the power of the Hentian Compass.
"Yan Shuiyi, after your virginity was taken by Fang Han, you actually thought for him wholeheartedly. Could it be that you now want to subjugate me? I am a person of the God Race, do not engage in wishful thinking."
Inside the Sea-God Pearl, Fan Qingying issued her spiritual consciousness.
Yan Shuitian coldly snorted: "Hmph! Do not call me Yan Shuiyi. I am already a Deputy Headmaster of the Taiyi Sect. The character 'yi' has long been removed and changed to 'tian'. Then do not blame me. But I will not kill you for the time being. Wait until I cultivate to the Undying Body within this Everlasting Divine Furnace, and then successfully cultivate the Five Emperors Great Demonic Mystical Power, the Great Cursing Technique, the Great Sealing Technique, and the Great Shifting Technique one by one, before coming to deal with you. At that time, my strength will already be at the peak of the second tier of the Longevity Mystic Realm, the Undying Body, and I might even comprehend spatial laws and step into the third tier of the Longevity Mystic Realm. Would I still fear failing to subjugate you? Using the Great Cursing Technique, I can bewilder your mind. You will have no choice but to listen to me. Inside the Everlasting Divine Furnace, it is a sufficiently good cultivation place. And last time, my Taiyi Sect reached the Land of Five Elements through the Everlasting Divine Furnace and absorbed boundless five elements essence energy within it, plenty enough for me to cultivate the Five Emperors Great Demonic Mystical Power and the Great Five Elements Technique!"
"What? Fang Han feels so assured of you that he actually imparted the Great Five Elements Technique to you. Does he not know that you are the reincarnation of the Water God's primal spirit, is he truly this assured of you? You should know, if you told the secrets of the Great Five Elements Technique to the Taiyi Sect, who knows how many experts it could create. Even Emperor Tai, Heaven Dragon… those people might break through their current realms. You should know, among the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Great Five Elements Technique is the best method to comprehend the ultimate changes of the five elements."
Fan Qingying was shocked, streak after streak of divine sense revealing the turmoil in her heart.
"Exactly so. I am the reincarnation of the Water God's primal spirit. If I comprehend the Great Five Elements Technique, millions of years from now, there will be the hope of becoming an immortal, communicating with creation, and comprehending the ultimate changes of the five elements and the Heaven and Earth Vital Incantation. Tell me why I wholeheartedly think for Fang Han? Because he even imparted to me a mystical power of the Great Five Elements Technique class that suppresses a sect, which shows he is sincere and true to me. Furthermore, he possesses vast fortuitous destiny and continuous fate. By being with him, I broke through to the Longevity Mystic Realm, and now I am about to cultivate the Undying Body."
As Yan Shuitian spoke, her face suddenly changed, and she laughed evilly: "Fan Qingying, we have after all been close friends for hundreds of years. We used to talk about everything, and when we were together, we also discussed men. I also discussed Hua Tiandu's matter with you. Now speak from your conscience, who is better, Hua Tiandu or Fang Han?"
Yan Shuitian's tone sounded like close friends having a conversation again. Close friends talked about everything. And what they liked discussing most was men; existences like Yan Shuitian and Fan Qingying were no exception.
Fan Qingying paused, seemingly finding the memories of chatting with Yan Shuitian in the past: "In all fairness, Fang Han is naturally far more formidable than Hua Tiandu. Following him, if there were no sect resistance, would naturally be the best choice. Moreover, he truly harbors the grand destiny of heaven and earth on his body; the World Tree is on him, and he can communicate with the Human Emperor Pen. Killing the God Emperor Hentian together with the Human Emperor Pen. In the near future, after his cultivation elevates, the Human Emperor Pen might even join forces with him to fight against the God Race. After all, between heaven and earth, only he possesses the sapling of the World Tree, which is the nemesis of the God Race. This kind of person is far more valuable than Hua Tiandu."
"Exactly, Fang Han is a thousand times, a hundred times better than Hua Tiandu. Hua Tiandu has merely obtained the orthodoxy of Immortal Venerable Panwu, yet Immortal Venerable Panwu himself was killed by the God Race; there is fundamentally nothing worth possessing." Yan Shuitian nodded: "Qingying, if you can accept it, I wouldn't mind you becoming Fang Han's concubine. After all, we have been close friends for hundreds of years. The rich water does not flow into outsiders' fields. If our sisters are united in heart, our strength can cut through gold. This fellow Fang Han is exceedingly cunning, and he will definitely have other women in the future. It is rumored that he and Fang Qingxue have a bit of a small ambiguity. Upon returning to the Yuhua Sect, he will definitely seek out Fang Qingxue and use your Great Chaos Lightning Sword to fuse with Fang Qingxue's Imperishable Lightning Talisman. Through this cultivation, the two might just go and perform dual cultivation. Hmph hmph…" Yan Shuitian snorted consecutively a few times, her body trembling: "Qingying, I sense that Fang Qingxue will be my biggest rival in the future, competing with me for Fang Han. If you can help me, you can also get back the Great Chaos Lightning Sword. After all, once Fang Han's cultivation is profound in the future, the power of the Yellow Springs Diagram will be fully repaired, turning into a peerless-grade Dao Weapon, and this Great Chaos Lightning Sword will be useless. If you become his concubine, this sword will still be returned to you. Moreover, I will also figure out a way to get her Imperishable Lightning Talisman and give them both to you. How about it? After all, as a single woman, how could she fight against the two of us women! Hmph, if not for Fang Qingxue, do you think I would share Fang Han with you?"
"Yan Shuitian, your thoughts are truly peculiar. But after all, we have been close friends for many years. If you are in trouble, I can indeed help you. How about we negotiate a deal?" Fan Qingying pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"What deal?"
"I will put on an act with Fang Han and help you deal with Fang Qingxue. As for becoming Fang Han's concubine, let us drop that. I can be your maidservant. Subjugated by you. But after obtaining Fang Qingxue's Imperishable Lightning Talisman, you must return my freedom to me."
"Deal." Yan Shuitian agreed without hesitation, yet thought in her heart: "How could there be such a cheap matter? Fang Han is exceedingly cunning, his heart possessing the danger of mountains and rivers, his mind deep as a walled city. Could he not see through your act? Sooner or later, he will deceive you to the point where you don't even have your underpants left. But when the time comes, you will understand everything and will obediently deal with Fang Qingxue together with me. Moreover, temporarily roping you in to become my maidservant and cultivating to the Longevity Mystic Realm together can also add plenty of strength for me within the Taiyi Sect."
Immediately, Yan Shuitian and Fan Qingying reached an agreement, each harboring ulterior motives.
However, Yan Shuitian did not release Fan Qingying, but cultivated on her own. She had to cultivate to the Undying Body and have sufficient power to suppress Fan Qingying before releasing her. Letting her also cultivate within the Everlasting Divine Furnace.
Inside the Everlasting Divine Furnace, time also changed according to the mind. When Yan Shuitian was cultivating, she thought for a moment and adjusted the flow of time to the point where one month inside equaled one day outside. This was a state most suited for cultivation. It was neither too fast, which would deplete lifespan, nor too slow, allowing for timely adjustments, and helping one sense the profound mystery of the opposition between the space one existed in and the time of the outside space, aiding in comprehending the rules of time and space.
