Letting eight Giants of Antiquity replace eight Immemorial Heavenly Dragons to oversee eight magical treasures.
This was absolutely a crazy idea.
Even an expert of Feng Baiyu's level might not be able to achieve it. Because subjugating a Giant of Antiquity was much more difficult than destroying a Giant of Antiquity.
Even though Fang Han had successfully cultivated the Everlasting Demon Domain and the Ultimate Bliss Pure Land, and coupled with the various powers of the Gate of Avici and the Yellow Spring Diagram, he still had no way of subjugating Dharma King Jidu. Instead, the more he tried to cross over the opponent's spirit, the more intense it became, even causing the Great Cutting Technique the over party cultivated to evolve into a Soul Cutting method.
If Fang Qingxue had not executed the unfathomably mysterious Little Destiny Technique at the end, they could only have completely killed Dharma King Jidu. Or let him self-detonate and absorb the residual essence energy.
That would have greatly reduced his value.
"Senior Sister, for the Little Destiny Technique, you said each execution would consume a thousand years of lifespan. You just executed it again…" Fang Han was immersed in the joy of subjugating Dharma King Jidu, but suddenly a bad premonition surged into his heart.
Fang Qingxue only had twenty years of lifespan left. Executing the Little Destiny Technique again, wouldn't her lifespan be exhausted?
He was extremely anxious in his heart, wishing he could split half of his lifespan and give it to Fang Qingxue. If it were possible, he would definitely give it.
Seeing Fang Han's sudden look of extreme anxiety, Fang Qingxue could not help but smile: "It is not that outrageous. Only when using the Little Destiny Technique to sacrifice lifespan to condense a divine ability will it harm one's lifespan. Earlier, I simply consumed vital energy to plant a seed of destiny in the mind of Dharma King Jidu, making him believe that being subjugated by you is his destiny, a preordained fate. This does not consume lifespan. You do not need to worry."
"Oh, then I am relieved." Fang Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Sister's Little Destiny Technique is truly miraculous, I have just witnessed it. It is a pity that it is so difficult for me to comprehend the cultivation formula."
"The fact that you cannot comprehend it just means that the opportunity and destiny have not yet arrived." Fang Qingxue said with a smile: "Actually, although I am the reincarnation of the Lightning Mother, my ultimate trump card is this Little Destiny Technique. The mystical aspects of this Dao technique are very, very many, involving the profound mysteries of destiny. It cannot be compared to ordinary divine abilities."
"Destiny, destiny…" Fang Han muttered, temporarily unable to figure out exactly what kind of divine ability it was. He gathered his thoughts and said, "It is wonderful that Senior Sister has this miraculous skill. You can assist me in crossing over all the Giants of Antiquity here. In the future, when Senior Sister opens the Thunder Emperor Cave Abode, with the protection of these Giants of Antiquity, a massive sect can be established in but an instant."
Fang Han knew that Fang Qingxue intended to establish her own sect in the future and become a figure of the generation's Immortal Dao Supreme.
"Crossing over so many Giants of Antiquity is truly a crazy thought, but our strength is growing stronger and stronger. With both Dharma King Jidu and Daoist Mu, two Giants of Antiquity, inside the Eight部 Pagoda, it is not impossible."
Fang Qingxue's courage was also growing, her mind racing, deciding to go for something big.
Now that Fang Han had crossed over Dharma King Jidu, feeding the Heavenly Demons with Immortal World vital energy was barely sufficient. Of course, if the number of Heavenly Demons increased further, it would still not be enough.
Crossing over one Giant of Antiquity was already an unimaginable feat. If they crossed over so many Giants of Antiquity, Fang Qingxue knew in her heart that she and Fang Han would probably be the very first pair of Divine Ability Realm cultivators in the history of the Xuanhuang Great World to do so. Unprecedented and never to be replicated.
Naturally, if they truly crossed over so many Giants of Antiquity, then when she opened the Thunder Emperor Cave Abode overseas in the future, it would be fully capable of standing as an equal to the Wangui Immortal Island.
"However, every Giant of Antiquity possesses extraordinary strength. This time, if we had not planned well, Dharma King Jidu could have escaped. To subjugate these giants, we must have a detailed plan."
Fang Qingxue said softly.
"I have the exact same thought. I already have a plan in my heart…" Fang Han and Fang Qingxue began to discuss.
"Three days have already passed, why is there still no news from Ancestor Jidu? Could it be that he has not yet subjugated that Dao Artifact within the demon cloud? Are those two wandering rogue cultivators that formidable?"
"The internal power of the Dragon-Wood Planet is growing stronger. It is obvious that the planet core is about to coalesce into form. Once this Dragon-Wood planet core coalesces into form, the entire Dragon-Wood Planet will absorb boundless power within ten thousand years and transform into a fixed star. At that time, it will be a true blazing sun."
Dharma King Jidu's four great Golden Core disciples, as well as the senior disciple "Luo He", who had cultivated to the Divine Ability Ninth Level, the Heaven Defying Fate Changing Realm, were all filled with worry. They looked downward, far beneath the Heavenly Astral Atmosphere, deep within the inner core of the Dragon-Wood Planet, where a massive power was surging, pulsing upward like a giant placenta about to be born.
This was the sign that the Dragon-Wood planet core was finally coalescing into form.
Once the Dragon-Wood planet core coalesced into form, the entire Dragon-Wood Planet would absorb various powers over ten thousand years and turn into a fixed star, a sun-like existence. Then, over billions of years, it would gradually grow and expand.
However, within the ten thousand years after the Dragon-Wood planet core coalesced, if the planet core was collected and refined into a magical treasure, it could transcend into a High-Grade Dao Artifact.
Typically, to refine a High-Grade Dao Artifact, it required experts like Feng Baiyu or Ying Xiantian, who had comprehended the changes of space and time, and could create matter from the void, turn water into oil, and touch stone into gold. Only by incorporating their power of creation could they manufacture one piece over several thousands of years.
But a star core intrinsically gestated the power of creation. Even an ordinary Giant of Antiquity could use it to forge the prototype of a High-Grade Dao Artifact.
Therefore, this transformation of the Dragon-Wood planet core had attracted several great giants from within a one billion-mile radius of this star region to come and spy on it.
"If the Ancestor does not come out soon, I fear we will miss the opportunity of the Dragon-Wood planet core's birth." Luo He felt anxious in his heart.
Just at this moment, suddenly, from within that mass of demon cloud wrapped in the Jidu Divine Smoke, Dharma King Jidu rose up, his imposing aura unparalleled.
"The Ancestor has come out."
Many disciples immediately began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Congratulations to the Ancestor, felicitations to the Ancestor, for finally subjugating that Dao Artifact and suppressing that pair of wandering rogue cultivators." The senior disciple Luo He respectfully lowered his head.
"Correct, I have subjugated this Dao Artifact. As for that pair of wandering rogue cultivators, their souls have already been scattered by me because they resisted." Dharma King Jidu said coldly: "You have all done very well this time, and I shall reward you. Once I obtain the Dragon-Wood planet core and truly refine it into a High-Grade Dao Artifact, we can then proceed to the Xuanhuang Great World to open a sect and establish a group."
"The Xuanhuang Great World! The Xuanhuang Great World that possesses endless spiritual medicine, endless resources, and an endless population."
All the disciples cheered.
Several experts who had originally harbored intentions of claiming Fang Qingxue also temporarily suppressed their disappointment.
"Alright, all of you take your positions within the Jidu Divine Smoke. Merge your divine abilities and Dharma power into the divine smoke to increase its might. As soon as the Dragon-Wood planet core appears, we will immediately snatch it." At Dharma King Jidu's command, the disciples all sat down and began channeling.
Streams of Dharma power made the Jidu Divine Smoke display a magnificent radiance.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, within my Jidu Divine Smoke, I have seven thousand disciples at the Physical Body Tenth Level Divine Transformation peak, fifty Divine Ability disciples, four Golden Cores, and one Luo He at the Divine Ability Ninth Level Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation. Among them, the four Golden Cores and this Luo He are rogue cultivators I subjugated. These disciples remain obstinately blind. Should we cross them all over now?"
Coming out from the Jidu Divine Smoke, Dharma King Jidu consoled these disciples of his and then transmitted a message to Fang Han.
"Dharma King Jidu, why do you bring so many Physical Body Realm disciples with you when you travel?" Fang Han asked casually.
"I have a technique called the Burning Soul Blood Sacrifice Myriad Law. If I encounter an unbeatable enemy, I will activate the Jidu Divine Smoke and detonate all seven thousand disciples at the Physical Body Tenth Level 'Divine Transformation' peak inside, burning their souls and flesh." Dharma King Jidu said without minding at all: "Moreover, I have already used Dao techniques to secretly control the Golden Cores of my four Golden Core disciples. Whenever I face a powerful enemy, I will detonate their Golden Cores to kill the enemy."
"You actually have such methods. Fortunately, when we subjugated you just now, we acted very swiftly and swept you into the Yellow Spring Diagram. Otherwise, if you had triggered the four great Golden Cores to self-detonate, we might really not have been able to subjugate you and would have let you escape." Fang Han was alarmed hearing this. One must know that no sect leader of any sect in the Xuanhuang Great World would treat their sect disciples as pigs or sheep, ready to sacrifice them at any time to escape. Not even the Demonic Path did this at all.
"Cultivators in the extraterrestrial starry skies live precariously. It is far from being as comfortable as the Xuanhuang Great World. Disciples and sect members are merely expendable items, nobody makes plans for their disciples. Every Giant of Antiquity will carry their sect disciples with them, ready to sacrifice them at any moment to save their own lives. Therefore, although we giants of the extraterrestrial starry skies might not compare in Dharma power to the giants of the large sects in the Xuanhuang Great World, our life-saving methods and killing instincts are vastly superior."
Dharma King Jidu explained: "For example, the old freak Blood Bat relies on his innate divine ability, the Connate Evil Brainwave. He can control people's minds, turning even Golden Core experts into beings like walking corpses. Thus, as long as he encounters Golden Core cultivators in the extraterrestrial starry sky, he will desperately try to control and gather them. Right now, he has exactly thirteen great Golden Core experts under him, known as the Thirteen Cold-Blooded Youths. They can form a formation to self-detonate for him. When we encounter this old freak, we will keep at a respectful distance, lest he sacrifices the Thirteen Cold-Blooded Youths and causes us to suffer a great loss, or even perish."
"He has thirteen great Golden Core experts to self-detonate for him." Fang Han's eyes flashed, realizing the formidable nature of this old freak Blood Bat, and he plotted in his mind how to suppress this demon.
While they were speaking, suddenly, from the Heavenly Astral Atmosphere ahead, a massive blood-colored bat spanning ten miles and blotting out the sky flew out.
This blood-colored bat was not a true living creature, but was formed from the condensation of blood energy, demonic aura, and astral qi. However, it was incredibly lifelike, exuding a fierce, sinister, and mysterious aura that shocked the entire space.
"Dharma King Jidu, I heard that you just encountered a good turn of fortune. Two wandering rogue cultivators possessing a Dao Artifact came here to push their luck, and you took them into your Jidu Divine Smoke. Such a good thing should be shared slightly with your ancestor here."
From within this massive blood bat came a sharp and ear-piercing voice.
